Chapter 200 My Beloved
...
...
"Are you really going to let me take a concubine?"
As soon as they got home, Lin Anyuan pulled Ye Wan back to her room, which surprised everyone.
"Isn't this up to you? If you want... then..."
Ye Wan sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and looked at Lin Anyuan with a smile.
"So what? Are you going to turn around and leave to find that Pei San?"
On the way back, Lin Anyuan went through it in his mind: if he got too close to any woman, Wanwan would definitely abandon him and run away.
Pei San was just an excuse; she might actually keep a male concubine and never see him again.
The thought of this made him feel empty and restless, as if a million ants were biting him all over his body.
"Haha, Lin Anyuan, how can you be so cute?" Ye Wan suddenly raised her hand and pinched his cheek.
"I just wanted to make those who admire you realize the reality: you can only have me by your side, and you absolutely cannot take a concubine. That's why I called you here."
Ye Wan looked at the red marks on his face, her tone tinged with malice, "After all, I made it very clear back then that if you dared to betray me, I would..."
"What will you do?" Lin Anyuan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly beneath the fabric.
"I'll castrate you and then keep ten or eight male concubines for you to see every day~"
Before the words had even faded, Lin Anyuan bent down.
"Did Mom and Dad have a fight?"
Er Ya looked at Ye Wan's room with some worry, resting her chin on her hand. As soon as she got back, her father pulled her mother into the room. Could they already be arguing?
"How could that be? Dad loves Mom the most." Sanya played with two more round beads, her new hidden weapons.
Er Ya was still angry when she thought about what happened today. "Mother is too good. Those who have designs on married women are just shameless. Who would go out of their way to become someone's concubine? They should be given no face at all and be beaten back hard."
“You still have such an impulsive temper,” Daya said, looking at Erya.
This kind of temper will eventually lead to trouble.
Hui Gu looked at the three sisters, not at all worried about what was happening inside the house.
With that kind of temper, the lady would never allow herself to be wronged.
"Is Lord Lin at home?"
A beautifully dressed matchmaker arrived outside the door, carrying many gifts.
After the gatekeeper Xiao came to deliver the message, Aunt Hui let the people into the courtyard without disturbing Ye Wan and Lin Anyuan.
The three girls went to the study; they hadn't practiced their calligraphy for today.
"Your eldest daughter is of marriageable age, isn't she? I have a good match for her. Is Lord Lin at home?" the matchmaker said with a smile.
Huigu poured tea. "She's not home."
The matchmaker was only focused on Hui Gu. Seeing that she was dressed in rich clothes, her smile became even warmer. "Then let me tell you first. You are Lord Lin's elder, right?"
Huigu neither said yes nor no.
The matchmaker raved about the prospective family, saying that as long as they married Daya into the family, they would live a life of luxury and happiness.
"Alright, my daughter will be staying for a few more years, you can go back now."
Hui Gu's tone was indifferent, which was already a rejection. She had just served tea to the guests and asked them to leave, but the matchmaker acted as if she hadn't seen it.
Upon hearing Hui Gu's words, the matchmaker's face changed. "You won't even consider such a good family? What kind of man do you want to marry into! The groom's family may be a bit old, but older men are more caring! Your family is basically just from the countryside, and you're still thinking about..."
"Get out! My eldest sister won't marry him!" Er Ya shouted as she came out to curse.
"Hey, see if I'm wrong? You two should think it over. When the groom's family comes over later, don't be ungrateful."
The matchmaker ran away after she finished speaking.
Anyway, she ran away, but she got the matchmaker's money.
As Lin Anyuan was about to leave, he heard this and his face darkened. "Aunt Hui, what did you just say? How old is he again?"
"She's twenty-five. She said she'd be coming over later. What do you think, sir..." Hui Gu meant whether or not to send the waiter away once he arrived.
"Da Ya is only thirteen, where does she get the nerve to say that!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the gatekeeper came to report, "Master, a young man has arrived outside, claiming to be an old acquaintance of yours."
"Let him in!"
Lin Anyuan, his eyes filled with murderous intent, sat down directly on a bench in the courtyard.
He came from humble beginnings and wasn't particular about his appearance; he could sit wherever he wanted.
"Lord Lin, how have you been? I've come today with some good news!"
The newcomer was dressed in a black outfit, with a tall and straight posture and a smiling expression.
Lin Anyuan sneered, "You've come at the perfect time? You actually dare to come to my door?"
Who did he think it was? It turned out to be this fellow.
Chu Xiujie chuckled and raised an eyebrow. "What wouldn't I dare to come? You think you can kill me? I've come to bring good news!"
"Heh, although I can't kill you, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Anyuan suddenly stood up and punched Chu Xiujie in the eye socket.
"Damn it!" Chu Xiujie instantly covered his eyes and burst into tears. "Lin Anyuan, what the hell are you doing? What the hell did I do to offend you?!"
"How dare you ask? You're so old and shameless, you actually have designs on my daughter! Tell me, how did you offend me?!"
Lin Anyuan continued to hit while cursing.
This time, Chu Xiujie was on guard and hurriedly dodged, saying, "When did I become such a beast that I coveted your daughter? Explain yourself clearly."
Lin Anyuan's daughter is so young, he wouldn't have been that beastly, would he?
Lin Anyuan suddenly stopped and looked at him, "Didn't you invite this matchmaker just now?"
"Damn, am I crazy? You're eyeing your daughter? Even if I can't find a wife, I won't marry your daughter. I'm not a scumbag."
After Chu Xiujie finished cursing, he saw that Lin Anyuan's face had darkened again, so he immediately explained, "I was just giving an example. How can you hit someone without even asking them what they want to say?"
"Go check it out."
Just as Lin Anyuan finished speaking, Huigu returned.
"It was Zhu who shouted."
"I've been so busy I almost forgot about this person, yet they still dare to show up and cause trouble." Lin Anyuan chuckled.
Chu Xiujie looked somewhat creepy.
I've dealt with Lin Anyuan a few times, and the more beautiful his smile, the scarier it is.
What are you doing here?
With a red and swollen eye, Chu Xiujie plopped down in the seat where Lin Anyuan had just been sitting, fuming. "I'm here to deliver a letter to Madam Ye."
"Whose letter?" Lin Anyuan frowned.
Chu Xiujie just returned from the capital, could it be that Pei San?
Pei San, far away in Jizhou, sneezed several times and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.
Chu Xiujie drew out his words, "Last year's third-place scholar, now a rising star in the Hanlin Academy, Liu Wenshu, young Master Liu."
"I heard that matchmakers have been flocking to the door, but this young Master Liu already has someone he loves and has turned down all the suitors who come to his door."
Chu Xiujie suddenly gave a wicked smile, "Lin Anyuan, guess who this young Master Liu's sweetheart is?"
