Lin Wanyin became excited when she heard him talk about Aci's marriage.
"Oh? Whose family is it?" He then changed his tone and said, "Don't tell me yet. I'll send someone to invite your Aunt Lian over first."
Then, Lin Wanyin ordered He Ye beside her to invite Bai Sulian.
After about a cup of tea, Bai Sulian walked in.
Lin Wuchen stood up and bowed, inviting Bai Sulian to sit next to Lin Wanyin, and then mentioned the marriage.
"It was Xue Yuan, the young master of the Xue family, who asked me to come. He saw Fourth Sister at a banquet last time and fell in love with her at first sight."
Bai Sulian looked at Lin Wuchen, puzzled. "The Xue family? Is that the Xue family that's as famous as the Lin family?"
Lin Wuchen nodded and said, "That's right. Xue Yuan is the eldest son of the Xue family, five years older than Ah Ci. He has outstanding abilities, character, talent, and appearance. He is also outstanding."
Lin Wanyin was familiar with the Xue family. When she followed her father and brother to do business, she had many dealings with the Xue family.
He said, "Among these business giants, the Xue family is indeed one of the best. They have a good family tradition, strict family education, and their wealth is beyond words."
"But when it comes to family background, our Ah Ci is not bad either."
When saying this, Lin Wanyin felt a little proud.
Lin Wuchen added, "I've already told Xue Yuan that even if Fourth Sister gets married, she must be allowed to do business. And all of this is Fourth Sister's private property and has nothing to do with the Xue family."
Lin Wanyin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Did he agree?"
Lin Wuchen nodded and said, "I agree."
Lin Wanyin was somewhat tempted by this marriage, but she couldn't make up her mind, after all, it was Aci's lifelong event.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian discussed, "Why don't we ask Ah Ci? She's seen that person before, which is better than us researching in the dark."
Lin Wanyin was satisfied with the Xue family and the virtues of their elders.
But after getting married, it’s ultimately two people living together, and it depends on whether the two are compatible.
Bai Sulian thought this was a good idea, so she ordered someone to invite the fourth young lady.
Lin Wuchen sat with his back straight, stroking the carvings on the armrests of the chair with his fingertips, wondering what he was thinking.
When Su Shunci came in, Lin Wuchen's hands under his sleeves suddenly clenched, and then loosened dejectedly.
At this point, he couldn't say or do anything.
Lin Wanyin gestured for Su Shunci to sit down and asked Lin Wuchen to repeat what he had just said.
Su Shunci looked at Lin Wuchen in confusion. What was her third cousin going to say?
Lin Wuchen raised his head and their eyes met.
Looking at Su Shunci's clear and distant eyes, Lin Wuchen was filled with bitterness, and then he began to talk about what Xue Yuan had entrusted him with.
He spoke one sentence at a time, and she listened one sentence at a time.
After hearing the last part, Su Shunci's face turned cold.
"I didn't even know when my third cousin started competing with Matchmaker Wang from the east side of the city for business."
Bai Sulian hurriedly looked at Su Shunci, "Your third cousin is doing this for your own good, why are you talking like that?"
Su Shunci thought, is this for her own good? Is he afraid that she will upset Bai Youxin?
That day in the outer courtyard of the Shen family, her third cousin blocked the birds for her, and she clearly saw Bai Youxin's face change.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he had just agreed to the marriage with Bai Youxin and then he was anxious to propose to her.
Su Shunci raised her head and looked directly at Lin Wuchen, "Third cousin, do you also think the Xue family is a good match?"
Lin Wuchen didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.
After a moment's silence, he said, "It all depends on how you think."
Su Shunci chuckled and thought to herself that she didn't have any magic to make her wishes come true.
Maybe regrets are the norm in life?
"Mother, mother, I want to ask my third cousin something about the Xue family in private. I'll take him to the garden to talk." Su Shunci suddenly said.
Lin Wanyin didn't think much about it and said, "Go ahead. Come back for dinner after you're done talking."
Su Shunci nodded, stood up and motioned Lin Wuchen to follow her.
She was angry, so she walked very fast, and her whole body gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".
On the contrary, Young Master Lin San followed carefully behind, like a bullied young wife.
There are few people in Prince Ning's Mansion, so there are not many people in the garden.
Su Shunci casually sat down on the porch beside the waterside pavilion, then looked up and asked Lin Wuchen, "Does my third cousin want me to marry him? Or does he think Xue Yuan is a good match?"
Lin Wuchen's lips twitched, and he said softly, "Yes."
On the way here, Su Shunci still felt that he had a lot to say to Lin Wuchen.
But now she felt there was no need to say anything, and she suddenly smiled brightly, revealing dimples on her cheeks.
"Okay, I'll marry you. Third cousin, go and tell them to ask Xue Shaodong to come to Prince Ning's mansion to propose marriage."
Lin Wuchen suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his heart, and said in a low voice: "This is a matter of a lifetime, you have to think it through."
Su Shunci heard this and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Cousin, shouldn't you be happy? You got what you wanted, I have a good home, and you have an explanation with Bai Youxin."
"If everyone is happy, why should I worry about it?"
Lin Wuchen looked at her in confusion, "Got what you wanted? Why would you say that?"
Su Shunci stood up and looked at Lin Wuchen coldly.
"Third cousin, you've written to Bai Youxin many times over the past year to ask for her hand in marriage, right?"
"But Bai Youxin didn't agree to the marriage, and my third cousin never mentioned it to anyone."
"Now that Bai Youxin has agreed to marry, doesn't that mean Third Cousin finally got what he wanted? Since he got what he wanted, shouldn't I, a distant cousin, avoid suspicion?"
"That day, my third cousin helped me block the bird, and Bai Youxin was very unhappy. Now that my third cousin has helped me arrange a marriage, I can finally give her an explanation."
In the past few days, Su Shunci has been recalling the details between her and Lin Wuchen, especially in the past six months, it is clear that Lin Wuchen did not treat her as a cousin.
In the past, she was confused by the situation and did not see the ambiguous entanglements involved.
She even wondered, if Bai Youxin kept refusing, would Lin Wuchen come to Prince Ning's Mansion to propose marriage?
So what is she? A replacement for Bai Youxin?
Since he likes Bai Youxin, he shouldn't have provoked her.
If Lin Wuchen hadn't proposed to her, she wouldn't have said this. She would just keep her distance from him in the future.
But today he suddenly came to her house and said these words, and she could no longer suppress her anger.
The expression on Lin Wuchen's face froze, and he stood there in a daze.
"What makes you think that?"
