They said they absolutely couldn't let Zhou Cheng get it easily, and they had to refuse him three times.
Finally, after the General's Mansion expressed their gratitude and pleaded with him to marry her, he reluctantly agreed to the marriage so that all the noble families in the capital would look up to him and the Lin family!
Can--
But it seems like things have gone too far!
Zhou Cheng has stopped fawning over him altogether.
Instead of going to great lengths to fawn over her, he went back to Cheng Xianyi?
At first, Lin Jiaoyun remained calm, firmly believing that Zhou Cheng was trying to force her to submit. However, after several days of this, coupled with the humiliation she suffered at Zhou Cheng's hands the day before yesterday, Lin Jiaoyun is now starting to panic.
"Father, what do you mean I'm being difficult? Aren't I just trying to bring honor to our Lin family?"
“Those noble families in the capital look down on the Lin family and despise you for being just a low-ranking official. I’m going to prove them wrong and show them my abilities. Even the General’s Mansion will have to beg me to come in.”
Lin Jiaoyun sat down with a gloomy expression, her fingernails digging into her handkerchief.
It took her a while to calm down the pent-up frustration and anger in her chest.
After regaining his composure, his confidence returned, and he immediately snorted and continued, "Besides, Father, don't you know how Zhou Cheng has treated me all these years?"
“Last year, I was scolded by the Minister’s daughter for being fickle. As soon as I turned around and said it to Zhou Cheng, he rushed into the Minister’s mansion, tore up the Minister’s daughter’s calligraphy and paintings, and burned down her boudoir. As a result, the young lady has avoided me ever since.”
"Not to mention what I want, if any treasure appears in the capital, I only need to take a look and ask a question, and within three days, that thing will definitely be delivered to my hands."
"Isn't it true that he can't live without me?"
Lin's father listened to these examples, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
really;
Over the years, Zhou Cheng has done all sorts of absurd things for Lin Jiaoyun. If it weren't for General Zhou's military power and high position, and the fact that his ancestors had all sacrificed their lives for the country, Zhou Cheng would probably have become the target of public criticism in this capital!
Such a superior and distinguished family background;
They then praised Lin Jiaoyun as the bright moon;
She remained chaste and had no concubines;
Which young lady in Kyoto wouldn't be tempted? Marrying a prince would bring more prestige, but one would have to worry about becoming a victim of the struggle for the throne. But marrying the devoted and faithful Zhou Cheng would mean a lifetime of wealth and honor!
"So what do we do now?"
"The Fourth Prince is now completely useless, so he is not a viable option. Zhou Cheng is the most suitable candidate now."
“Whether it’s family background, appearance, or anything else, Zhou Cheng is the best among the young men who are pursuing you, and he’s also very devoted to you.” After thinking for a moment, Lin’s father advised with a serious expression, “Daughter, why don’t you give in to Zhou Cheng?”
"Just tell him you can consider accepting the general's proposal, give him some hope, and don't be so stubborn."
If Zhou Cheng were standing here right now, hearing this conversation between the two members of the Lin family, he would definitely laugh until he cried.
Until now—
The Lin family also believed that Zhou Cheng was playing tricks, using a feigned indifference to woo Lin Jiaoyun in order to marry her.
As long as Lin Jiaoyun gives even the slightest hope and offers a sweet treat, Zhou Cheng, no matter how many times he's been slapped, will immediately turn around and grovel back like a dog.
hehe!
This is like a dream!
I've been dreaming this dream for three years, it's time to wake up!
Lin Jiaoyun, true to her reputation as a woman who had been pampered by Zhou Cheng to the point of losing herself, immediately and haughtily refused upon hearing her father's suggestion: "Dad! You want me to submit to that lackey Zhou Cheng? No way!"
