Lin Yu'an nodded: "Not only I, but also the court officials know this."
"So, why should I marry you?" Lu Qingyan raised her chin, trying her best not to lose face in front of him: "It was Lin Ke who broke the rules first, so there is no need for this marriage to continue. I have decided to sever all ties with him. As for the future relationship between our two families, that is Father's concern and has nothing to do with me. If Lord Lin wants to repair the relationship between our two families, then there is no need to put his mind on my daughter."
Lin Yu'an smiled and said, "Miss Su, it is natural for men to marry and women to be married when they are of age. I am already twenty-four years old and have not yet married." So, I have reached the age where I really want to get married.
“Lord Lin, there’s no need to emphasize this condition. I know that Lord Lin has a tough fate, and he has already killed two young ladies. One died before her engagement, and the other broke her leg after her engagement.” As Lu Qingyan spoke, she held up her hand and made a “two” gesture to someone.
Lin Yu'an stepped forward, a relaxed smile on his face: "Miss Su need not worry. I once consulted a high monk, and it was found that only Miss Su's birth chart is compatible with mine in the entire capital. So even if Miss Su and I become engaged, there will be no accidents."
"Hehe, that's hard to say," Lu Qingyan thought to herself.
Thinking this, Lu Qingyan blurted out, "I know! Lin Yu'an, you don't mean you want to marry me and torture me, do you? That way you can vent your anger for your nephew."
Hearing Lu Qingyan's self-righteous words, Lin Yu'an wanted nothing more than to pounce on her and strangle her, smash her head open to see what was inside. Did this girl even know what she was saying? "Miss Su, rest assured, I would never do such a thing."
Lu Qingyan touched her round face with her hand: "Although I know I am quite good-looking, there are so many beauties in the capital, there is no reason why you would choose me, not to mention that I was your nephew's fiancée before."
Lord Lin Yu'an, it's hard for me not to be suspicious of what you've done.
"Miss Su, why belittle yourself? Ake may not see your good qualities, but I can." Lin Yu'an drew closer to Lu Qingyan, the starlight in his eyes making Lu Qingyan feel like she was being watched by a wolf.
Father, Mother, please come and save me!
Lu Qingyan backed away little by little, hoping that someone would appear in front of her and drive this big devil away quickly.
Whether her prayers had worked or not, Lu Qingyan heard a hearty laugh and saw two figures in bright yellow walking over hand in hand.
It's Empress Su and the Emperor! Lu Qingyan's eyes lit up as she heard someone's clear laughter.
"Yu An, what were you saying to that Su girl over there?" the Emperor asked with a smile.
Lin Yu'an bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I am proposing marriage to Miss Su."
In China, the separation of men and women wasn't as strictly enforced, and it wasn't a big deal for a man to propose to a woman, since the woman's acceptance was another matter entirely. However, Lin Yu'an and Lu Qingyan were uncle and niece before their engagement, which was somewhat controversial.
However, such a minor flaw is not a big deal if one is not afraid of rumors.
So the Emperor turned to Lu Qingyan and asked, "Su girl, what do you think? Are you willing to marry Yu An?"
No!
At least for now, they are unwilling.
