The expression on Su Shunci's face froze, and by the time he reacted, his lips and teeth had already begun to entangle.
After a long while, Lin Wuchen finally let him go and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go back and write a letter to my father, asking him to come to the capital to formally propose marriage."
Su Shunci knew the rules of the Lin family, so she said, "Isn't my uncle inspecting the family business? There's no rush."
Lin Wuchen said, "Inspecting business transactions is not as important as proposing marriage."
Afterwards, the two of them discussed business matters. Su Shunci still intended to go into shipping alone. She asked Lin Wuchen about any unclear points.
Knowing that she was not fully recovered, Lin Wuchen did not stay for long as he still had a lot of things to do.
Before leaving, he gently told Su Shunci to take care of her health before taking care of business matters.
Shen Yue, who was waiting outside, was nervous, not knowing what the two were talking about.
There was a creaking sound, and the door of the main room opened, and Lin Wuchen walked out.
Shen Yue raised her eyes and saw Lin Wuchen's smile and the joy between his eyebrows.
She knew that the two had reconciled, and she smiled and joked, "Looks like I should write to Brother Yuanzhou and ask him to come back for my third cousin's wedding."
Lin Wuchen stood still and bowed solemnly to Shen Yue, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for speaking up for me today."
Shen Yue quickly stepped aside and said, "Third cousin, please don't be polite. We are all family. I also hope that Fourth Sister is well."
Lin Wuchen is now grateful to everyone, including God.
He felt that no one could understand his feelings now, the joy of regaining what he had lost and having light in his life again.
After returning from Qinyuan to Meiyuan where Lin Wanyin lived, Lin Wuchen seemed like a completely different person.
After entering and greeting Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian, Lin Wuchen said, "Aunt, Aunt Lian, the rift between Ah Ci and I has been resolved."
"I will write to my father today, asking him to come to Beijing immediately to formally propose marriage."
"Prince Ning's Mansion can directly raise any request. As long as the Lin family can do it, we will agree to it."
Lin Wanyin gestured for Lin Wuchen to sit down, then said, "We don't ask for any betrothal gifts or anything like that. Just one question: where will you live after you get married? You're doing business in the capital, and according to the Lin family's rules, Ah Ci needs to serve my mother-in-law and grandmother in the old house."
Previously, Lin Wenbai, the second young master of the Lin family, was in the capital, and his wife was also settled in the old Lin family house.
This is also what Bai Sulian is concerned about. If her daughter marries into Yunzhou Prefecture, she might not see him very often for the rest of her life.
Lin Wuchen bowed and said, "Don't worry, aunt. I will tell my father about this."
"I've been looking for a house these past few days, using my own money to buy some private property. From now on, Ah Ci and I will be in the capital all year round. Of course, if business requires me to go out, I will accompany her."
"What Xue Yuan promised me before also counts for me. After Ah Ci gets married and runs her own business, it will be considered her private property and has nothing to do with the Lin family."
Lin Wanyin thought for a moment and said, "If Big Brother disagrees, I'll go talk to him then."
She was not sure whether her brother would agree, but it was foreseeable that this matter would cause an uproar in the Lin family's old house.
By then, she would probably have to persuade her mother and sister-in-law as well.
Lin Wuchen shook his head and said, "Aunt, there's no need to worry about this matter. Your nephew will negotiate with the family."
"If I can't even do this, how can I marry Ah Ci?"
Bai Sulian was all smiles, and she felt more and more satisfied with her son-in-law.
After leaving Prince Ning's Mansion, Lin Wuchen wrote a letter to Lin Wanli, telling him about the Bai family and solemnly asking his father to come to the capital to propose marriage.
In the next few days, he would go to Prince Ning's mansion for dinner from time to time, or bring some snacks from outside to Su Shunci, or play chess with her in the house.
If it wasn't against the rules, I'm afraid they would all live in Prince Ning's Mansion.
The Lin family's steward acted steadily, accurately and ruthlessly. In less than ten days, Bai Youxin received news from the shopkeepers of various mansions.
She knew that it was Lin Wuchen who took action, but she didn't expect Lin Wuchen to act so quickly and without mercy.
In the past few days, Bai Youxin has been making many connections in the capital, intending to find a backer for the Bai family that can compete with the Lin family.
But these people in the capital are not stupid. When rumors of the affairs between the Bai and Lin families spread, why would they get involved in such a mess?
That day, she was having dinner when someone hurried in and handed her a letter. "Miss, this is a letter from Manager Chen of Jinyang Prefecture."
In the past few days, she has received letters from the treasurers of various prefectures near the capital almost every day. She knows that this is just the beginning and more bad news will come from the south.
She knew what the letter said without even reading it.
After opening it and reading it quickly, it was exactly as she had imagined. The Bai family's business in Jinyang Prefecture had been cut off by more than half by the Lin family. The Lin family was fighting the Bai family at all costs, with only one goal: to shut down the Bai family's business.
She slammed the credit in her hand onto the table and said, "Prepare the car. I'm going to Lin's Trading Company."
When Bai Youxin arrived at the Lin's Company, Lin Wuchen was rummaging through materials in the warehouse. He wanted to make a hairpin for Su Shunci and give it to her when she reached the age of 15.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a piece of high-quality golden nanmu wood.
Just when he was feeling happy, someone came in to report, "Third Young Master, Bai Shaodong is here."
The smile on Lin Wuchen's face instantly disappeared, "No."
He could imagine what Bai Youxin was here for. It was either questioning, accusing, or maybe scolding him for being so ruthless.
No matter what he came for, he didn't want to see him.
Bai Youxin thought he was gone, so she left too.
But unexpectedly, not long after, Lin Jin came in again to report: "Third Young Master, Bai Shaodong said that if you don't see her, she will go to the Lin family's shop to make trouble."
