Shen Jinjin was closely guarded by the people sent by Shen's father and lost his freedom.
Shen's father declared that if she couldn't find a suitable in-law, he would not let her step out of the house.
Despite Shen Chengzhi's repeated pleas and even strong opposition, Shen's father had made up his mind and was determined to keep his daughter under house arrest.
Shen Chengzhi regretted it deeply. He could have solved the problem by just taking his sister away from the limelight temporarily.
However, things have gone against my will. Bringing my sister back home has made the situation even more difficult. Now it is harder than climbing to heaven to escape from my father's control.
In recent days, Shen Chengzhi has been paying close attention to his father's words and deeds. He found that his father kept meeting matchmakers who came to propose marriage one after another.
Among them is the Liu family in the south of the city. Although they are rich, their son is a mentally handicapped fool.
The Li family in the north of the city holds a prominent position in the city, but unfortunately their son has an unspeakable illness and is still unmarried at the age of nearly 30.
In addition, there are the Wang family from Ganzhou City and the elderly governor from Jiangcheng.
Families from all walks of life came to visit, and they all seemed to express interest in Miss Shen.
These various characters and family backgrounds made Shen Chengzhi confused and helpless. Faced with such a complicated situation, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, how can he save his sister?
The Wang family in Ganzhou City was famous. Not only that, the five daughters of the Wang family were married to high-ranking officials, and their elder brother rose to prominence with the help of his brothers-in-law.
However, things are unpredictable, and the youngest son of the Wang family is a playboy who is idle all day long and does not work properly. Even more unfortunately, most of the women who marry into the Wang family die young.
Shen Chengzhi was anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, but he was helpless and powerless.
At this moment, Father Shen is not very satisfied with these in-laws, so he is trying his best to win over the governor of Jiangcheng.
Although Shen Chengzhi knew little about the situation in Jiangcheng, he found out after a little inquiry that the governor was about the same age as his father.
Shen Chengzhi was really at a loss, and finally placed his hope on Ji Yu. So, he wrote a letter to Ji Yu without hesitation.
After Ji Yu returned home, he never received any news from Shen Chengzhi, and he couldn't help feeling very flustered. At this moment, he finally received a letter from Shen Chengzhi, and he felt relieved instantly.
"Dear Brother Ji: I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you more and more. Recently, my father has been carefully selecting a husband, but after much searching, the few people he finally selected are all of bad character and mediocre qualifications.
After careful consideration, there is only one solution that works. I hope Brother Ji can lend a helping hand to me. I beg you to marry Jinjin as your wife. I know that you only regard Jinjin as your sister, but today's society advocates freedom of marriage and love, and personal independence. After we get through this, if we need to divorce my wife and marry someone else in the future, Chengzhi will have no complaints in his heart."
After reading the letter that Shen Chengzhi had someone send to him, Ji Yu finally realized how difficult and harsh their life in the Shen family was.
[Host, what are you thinking about? If you marry the target, won't it speed up the capture process? ]
Ji Yu pondered secretly in his heart and felt quite troubled by the current situation.
He knew very well that rushing into marriage without any emotional foundation would be tantamount to turning this marriage into a pure transaction.
And such a result is obviously extremely unfair to Shen Jinjin.
Thinking of this, Ji Yu's heart was filled with contradictions and struggles.
[Let me think about it carefully.] He said softly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
[What is there to hesitate about? If you don't marry her, then Shen Jinjin will definitely repeat the mistakes of her previous life. She is destined to die. What you are doing now is not to harm her, but to save her! ]
The system's words rang in Ji Yu's heart like an alarm bell, causing him to fall into deep thought.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Ji Yu finally made a decision.
The next morning, there was a gentle breeze and the sun was shining on the earth, creating a peaceful and harmonious scene.
Ji Yu led his father and a matchmaker and set out on the road to the Shen family.
Along the way, he felt heavy-hearted, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.
When they arrived at Shen's house, Shen's father delayed for a long time and was unwilling to open the door.
Although he had no idea what was happening inside, Ji Yu could only wait obediently at the door.
About half an incense stick of time had passed before Father Shen slowly opened the door. With a false smile on his face, he pretended to warmly welcome the guests into his home.
"My dear nephew, I have come to visit you specially today. I wonder what brings you here?" Father Shen asked with a smile, seemingly not noticing the matchmaker following behind him.
It's not that he couldn't see, but he deliberately turned a blind eye and tried to play dumb.
As the host, Mr. Shen did not show the proper hospitality at all. Not only did he not prepare a cup of hot tea, but even the basic greetings seemed a bit perfunctory.
Ji Yu frowned slightly, revealing a barely perceptible dissatisfaction, but he still tried hard to hold it back.
"Hello, Uncle Shen! My surname is Ji, and my given name is Yu. I am a classmate of yours, Shen Chengzhi, and we have a very close relationship. I have also had the honor of witnessing your daughter's elegance many times. I am visiting you this time to ask for a favor: I hope that you can follow the traditional etiquette and formally marry me through the 'three letters and six ceremonies' to marry me."
After listening to Ji Yu's sincere words, Father Shen did not immediately express whether he agreed or refused.
