"Why, you don't want your precious son-in-law anymore?" Xihe stroked his sleeves with a calm look on his face.
Lin's father and mother were stunned. They looked at each other and then at Xihe: "What son-in-law?"
"What kind of family do you think I would be best suited to marry into?" Without answering their question, Xihe asked another question.
She looked around the study, the sandalwood table, the wolf-howling pen, and a whole row of books.
There was a piece of pure jade on the table, which was used as a brush wash, and the books placed next to it were neat and new, and it was obvious that they were used to fool people.
"This..." The couple looked at each other and hesitated, "At least he has to be a successful candidate who holds an official position, right?"
They also have self-knowledge and know that with her daughter's background, she would definitely not be able to become the legal wife of such a powerful family.
As for concubines, they also want to have them, but it is definitely not possible.
They spent most of their fortune to get close to the Fu family, but it was not to make them despise them. They wanted to pave the way for their children and grandchildren in the Fu family for a longer time.
If their daughter became someone else's concubine, they would never be able to raise their heads in front of the Fu family in their lifetime.
"Look at what you have accomplished."
The girl scoffed, a look of pride on her face. "To tell you the truth, the eldest lady's son, Fu Yu, is in love with me. Before he left for the battle, he came to me and told me to wait for him to come back and propose marriage."
"real?"
Seeing the girl nod modestly, the couple was overjoyed. Her angry face turned into a smile: "Oh my, you are indeed worthy of being my son, you really have some tricks. Come on, daughter, tell me in more detail."
With a light cough, Xihe, with a look of suppressed pride on his face, told the story of how the original owner and Fu Yu got along.
The couple was overjoyed to hear this, and a dreamy expression appeared on their faces. They began to imagine the beautiful day when their daughter became the mistress of the Fu family.
Xihe laughed when he saw this.
She chose to go south because she knew the personalities of the original owner's parents.
The Fu family was very strict, so she had no excuse to go to the frontier. But this couple was different.
If the parents who love their daughter heard that she was going to travel thousands of miles to the frontier to live with a man, they would definitely tie off the hair of such a shameless child and send her to the family temple, and never let her come out to bring shame to the family for the rest of her life.
But in the eyes of these two people, their daughter is just a tool for them to curry favor with the powerful. How could they possibly think of these things?
The only thing she could think of was not to affect her family's reputation. Sure enough, after hearing her answer, Mother Lin frowned, "As the saying goes, those who are engaged become wives, and those who run away become concubines. Since Second Master Fu told you to wait, why did you go with him?"
"Your brother is about to take the exam for the Tongsheng degree. What if he gets into trouble and affects his future?"
Xi He's expression remained unchanged as he confidently said, "You also know that my family background is not prominent. Even if he has feelings for me, it will be difficult for him to get past the Madam."
This is bullshit. Based on her understanding of Fu Yu, no one can stop him if he really wants to do something.
"But if I were to risk traveling thousands of miles to the frontier and share his hardships, our friendship would be different. Even if Madam doesn't want to, I can't do that."
The girl raised her head and looked at the two thoughtful people confidently: "When I become the general's wife, will you still need to worry about your brother's future?"
After this heavy hammer came down, the two of them immediately had no objections, because their son was their treasure.
For the sake of my son's future, it is worth taking a little risk.
"Let's talk later."
Xihe continued, "Why did I come back so suddenly? Isn't it because I need you two to cover for me?"
"good!"
Father Lin slapped his thigh, his face trembling with joy: "My son is very thoughtful. Daddy will definitely help you with this matter."
