Zhao Hanyue, who was standing to the side, had tears in her eyes as she listened to her daughter’s words. She remembered how her son often worked from dawn till dusk. She thought he was obsessed with money, but now she realized that he was supporting half of Xia Guojun.
Her son is the best.
Lin Yuxin's words deeply shocked the King of Nanling. If what Lin Yuxin said was true, then he was indeed narrow-minded.
He also deeply understood why Lin Yuxin was valued by the Emperor. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke:
"Princess Regent, I understand what you've said. I admire Lin Shaoyang's sincerity, but this isn't a decision I can make alone; I need to consult my daughter first!"
The Prince of Nanling relented; he could let it go, but Miaomiao had to agree first.
The next second, Qin Miaomiao ran out with red eyes and said:
"Father, I agree, I want to marry Brother Shaoyang!"
"you…!"
The Prince of Nanling was furious. What use was his daughter? She always betrayed him!
Lin Yuxin and Zhao Hanyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. They were afraid that the Prince of Nanling would really disagree with everything they said, and she even considered going to the palace to ask the Emperor for help!
"Father, from the moment Brother Shaoyang saved me, I fell in love with him. I will marry no one but him in this life!!"
Qin Miaomiao may seem small and cute, but she is surprisingly decisive when it comes to doing things.
"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? What are you talking about, getting married or not?"
The Prince of Nanling was furious with his daughter. Is this something a girl doesn't say casually?
"I…!"
"Miaomiao! It's been a few days, have you missed your auntie?"
Before Qin Miaomiao could speak, Zhao Hanyue quickly stopped her and asked with concern, "If you let her continue, don't let the Prince of Nanling's relaxed tone suddenly lead to another lockdown."
"Yes! I want to eat Auntie's pastries, and the Lin family's Eight Treasure Duck!"
Qin Miaomiao's attention was indeed diverted, and she started chatting with Zhao Hanyya.
Seeing this, the Prince of Nanling sighed and said to Lin Yuxin:
"All I can say is that I can let this matter go unchecked, but if you want my daughter to marry him, then I will have to put her through a test."
"Alright! Prince Nanling, you can test me however you like. My second brother is tough and resilient, so you can do whatever you want to him. Just leave him alive so he can take care of Miaomiao and make money for Xia Kingdom!"
Upon hearing that the prince had relented, Lin Yuxin quickly smiled and sold out her second brother.
Prince of Nanling: ...That's really unnecessary! I'm not that cruel!
After Lin Yuxin and Zhao Hanyue returned to the mansion, they saw Lin Shaoyang sitting nervously in the hall waiting for them.
"Mother, how is my sister?"
Lin Shaoyang looked at the two nervously and hurriedly stepped forward to ask anxiously.
Both remained silent. Sang Lin Shaoyang's heart skipped a beat, and he said sadly:
“I knew it. No matter what, the King of Nanling would never agree to marry his daughter to a merchant like me.”
Lin Yuxin and Zhao Hanyue exchanged a glance, and then both burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Second brother, you're hilarious!"
"you…!"
Lin Shaoyang was almost in tears. His sister and mother were even mocking him. Waaah, is there no love left?
Lin Shaoyang was very upset, and then Zhao Hanyue slapped him on the back of the head.
"You little rascal, what are you thinking? The Prince of Nanling has relented, saying he'll test you properly before making a decision. Good luck, kid! Your sister really helped you out this time! You'd better thank her properly later, understand?"
Zhao Hanyue glared at the boy with annoyance and said seriously.
"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you, Mother and Sister. I will definitely do my best to bring you a daughter-in-law! Mother, don't worry, we all know how good my sister is!"
Upon hearing that the prince had agreed, Lin Shaoyang immediately became overjoyed, hugged Zhao Hanya tightly, and said excitedly.
Lin Yuxin watched with amusement as her second brother was as happy as a child; this was the first time she had ever seen him like this.
From then on, Lin Shaoyang would go to the Prince of Nanling's residence to report every day. The Prince of Nanling didn't let him do anything, just chat and play chess.
Even when the Prince of Nanling was about to return to his fiefdom, he only told Lin Shaoyang not to come tomorrow.
Lin Shaoyang only learned the next day that the Prince of Nanling had taken his Miaomiao back to his fiefdom. He felt like the sky had fallen. Without saying a word, he packed his bags, told Zhao Hanyue, and went to chase after his wife.
As for business, Lin Shaoyang only goes to the store when he needs to make some important decisions each day, so there won't be any problem if he leaves for a while.
He was gone for several months, and didn't return until Ji Qingxue gave birth.
Zhao Hanyue once wondered if her son had married into the family of the Prince of Nanling.
On the day Ji Qingxue gave birth, she started labor right after breakfast. Although Zhao Hanyya was nervous, she was the most stable one in the family.
Midwives and imperial physicians were successively called into the delivery room, while Lin Yuxin, heavily pregnant, waited anxiously outside.
Zhao Hanyue couldn't be driven away no matter what.
One after another, Ji Qingxue's agonizing cries of pain echoed from the delivery room, each one more painful than the last.
Lin Yuxin felt a chill run down her spine. She had originally wanted to go in, since she knew medicine and might be able to help, but Zhao Hanyue absolutely refused.
They said her belly was too big and she might give birth prematurely if things went wrong, so they just told her to wait outside.
Lin Yuxin thought about it and felt that nothing should go wrong. In the past six months, she and her sister-in-law had drunk a lot of fairy dew water every day, and their bodies had been well-maintained. Even the baby in her belly was very healthy.
