"I don't have any eye disease." Lin Fu was dissatisfied.

His eyes are fine, there's no need for him to have any eye disease.

"Any normal person can see that Miss Zhou is much prettier than Fourth Sister." Wei Chengyue burped.

"Brother Yue, you have an eye disease." Ling Fu said seriously.

"I don't, you do. Brother, do you think Miss Zhou is prettier than the fourth sister?" Wei Chengyue tried to make an alliance.

Wei Chengzhao ignored him and refused to answer such a stupid question.

In the main room, Shen Xinyan gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist and listened quietly to the report from the servant Ping Yan.

"Lord Zhou thought that heroes always emerge from youth, so he gave the prince a precious sword and thanked him again and again for saving his daughter. Madam Zhou and the two sons of the Zhou family also showed up, and Lord Zhou held a banquet and invited the prince to the table."

"As for Miss Zhou, she never appeared at the banquet, but when the prince left, he ran into her by the lotus pond in the mansion."

Shen Xinyan frowned unconsciously.

"Then what did they say? What was the expression on the prince's face? Please tell me in detail."

"It was just a few polite words. Miss Zhou thanked the prince for saving her, but the prince just said it was his duty and told her not to take it to heart. On the surface, the prince's expression was the same as usual, nothing special, just like when he usually talked to the fourth lady."

You still call this nothing special? Shen Xinyan shook her head.

The way he treated a stranger as if she were his own sister already showed that he had a great affection for this woman. If there was really nothing special about her, given his personality, he would have been polite but distant.

"I know everything. You may go down now. If the prince has any contact with this family in the future, you must report to me no matter how big or small the matter is," she ordered.

"Yes, ma'am." Ping Yan bowed and retreated.

Shen Xinyan seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that Zhou Wanning's charm can still easily break through Lin Ge'er's defense against outsiders, but what's next?

"Madam, His Highness asks you to come over." Chunliu walked in and said.

Shen Xinyan stood up quickly: "Let's go!"

Perhaps it was because Shen Xinyan had taken over all the affairs in her mansion, or perhaps it was because she had been wholeheartedly enjoying the pleasure of playing with her grandchildren in recent years, the eldest princess looked better than she had a few years ago.

As soon as she saw her come in, the eldest princess couldn't wait to say, "Ms. Shen, come here quickly. I have chosen another girl for Brother Lin."

Shen Xinyan was surprised.

Is there a suitable candidate so soon?

She must have known how picky the Grand Princess was when it came to choosing a wife for her eldest grandson. If she had chosen Princess Changning early on, then she had carefully compared and observed the young lady from the Xie family for more than half a year before deciding on her.

"I wonder which girl mother has taken a fancy to?"

"The third daughter of Lord Dong." After saying this, the Grand Princess smiled and said, "You should be quite familiar with the mother of the third daughter of Dong."

Shen Xinyan couldn't help but laugh.

The biological mother of this Miss Dong San was the daughter of her best friend Fu Wan. Unexpectedly, the Grand Princess went around and actually fell in love with Fu Wan's daughter.

A few years ago, Fu Wan followed her husband to work in another place, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time. So even Fu Wan's daughter has reached the age to discuss marriage?

"What do you think? If you have no opinion, I will find an opportunity to pass on a message to Madam Dong."

"Tingru is a nice girl. I would be happy if I could marry her. But we have to see what Lin Ge'er thinks. He has been out there for so long, he might have his own ideas. We'd better listen to his opinion." Shen Xinyan thought for a moment before answering.

"You are right. After all, this is Lin'er's own lifelong event. It is better to see what he thinks." Thinking of the previous two marriage proposals in which Changsun agreed without hesitation, the eldest princess felt that it would be better to ask his opinion first this time.

It happened that Emperor Yuanyou gave Wei Chenglin a day off today, and he did not go out, but stayed in the mansion. So he immediately sent a servant to invite him.

After Wei Chenglin arrived, the Grand Princess couldn't wait to tell him about this matter: "Brother Lin, what do you think? The grandmother of the Miss Dong family has known her many times, and her mother and your mother have been friends for many years. They are very familiar with each other. Maybe you two have met each other when you were young!"

"When Tingru was just born, Lin'er even clamored to hug his little sister!" Shen Xinyan replied with a smile.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked back and forth, which made Wei Chenglin's handsome face blush slightly, but at least he understood what they meant.

This time, my grandmother and mother chose Aunt Fu’s daughter, Dong Tingru, the third daughter of Lord Dong’s family.

To be honest, he didn't know Dong Tingru at all, and couldn't remember what she looked like. Now, did he want to marry the third daughter of the Dong family, who he had no impression of?

For some reason, in my mind, an extremely beautiful face gradually replaced the blurry face of the third daughter of the Dong family.

"What do you think? Brother Lin, if you have no objection, I will find a free time to let you meet Miss Dong San." The eldest princess' eyes were full of anticipation.

Shen Xinyan always had a faint smile on her face and waited patiently for his answer.

"...My grandson is busy all the time now, and I'm afraid he won't be able to spare a moment. It's better not to delay the girl." Wei Chenglin hesitated for a while, then said slowly.

"You kid, it's only been a few days, how come you've delayed the girl? Madam Dong is a sensible person. She naturally knows that the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. Even if you can't leave for the time being because of your mission, she won't mind." The eldest princess said with a smile.

On the contrary, knowing that her "future grandson-in-law" was so highly regarded by His Majesty, Old Lady Dong could only be happy and would not be surprised at all.

Taking the opportunity of lowering her head to drink tea, Shen Xinyan let out a faint sigh.

The job is just an excuse. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of disagreement.

Such a scene has gradually begun to overlap with the previous life. In the previous life, the eldest princess fell in love with Princess Changning, and her candidate for daughter-in-law was her niece Shen Huiran. The two of them told him about their candidates one after another, but he rejected them all without exception.

This time, Wei Chenglin's tone was relatively mild. Unfortunately, the eldest princess was so used to his obedience in the previous two marriages that she did not realize for a moment that her eldest grandson, whom she also valued, did not want to agree to the marriage with the Dong family at all.

Seeing that the Grand Princess did not understand his refusal, Wei Chenglin thought for a moment and looked for help at Shen Xinyan, who was sitting quietly on the side.

Shen Xinyan wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but then she changed her mind and realized that if she knew that Lin Ge'er had fallen in love with another woman, but she still insisted on letting Dong Tingru marry him, how unfair it would be to Dong Tingru.

Marrying a husband whose heart is with someone else, even if this husband has a bright future, even if this husband still respects her as his wife, is this really good?

As for the Princess Changning and Miss Xie before, she could still use the excuse that "Brother Lin will be devoted to her after he gets married", but this time she can no longer do that no matter what.

"Mother, in my opinion, why don't we discuss this matter later? Right now, His Majesty and the Royal Concubine are selecting a concubine for the Crown Prince. The Royal Concubine has also put Lingfu's marriage on the agenda. If we choose Tingru now, others might think that our family wants to compete with the royal family for a daughter-in-law!" Shen Xinyan calmed down and said to the Grand Princess with a smile.

The eldest princess was about to scold her with a smile, but suddenly something came to her mind. She looked thoughtfully at Wei Chenglin, who was frowning and looking a little uneasy.

She really is getting old and confused, she didn't even react. Brother Lin doesn't agree!

But she had spent a lot of time to choose Dong Tingru, and it would be a pity to give up. But she gave up after taking another look at her daughter-in-law.

Forget it, look at my daughter-in-law's behavior. It seems that she supports Lin Ge'er's decision, so she doesn't want to be that annoying person.

"In that case, let's put it aside!" She sighed and waved her hand weakly.

All in all, there is not enough time to inform Madam Dong about this matter, but it doesn't matter if it is put on hold. There is no need to worry about upsetting her.

"Thank you, grandma!" Wei Chenglin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Xinyan with gratitude.

Shen Xinyan smiled slightly, without looking at him again, and just gently coaxed the depressed eldest princess: "Xiang Ge'er was able to call grandma yesterday! It really is mother who has a way to make this lazy child call people."

When the Grand Princess heard this, she immediately perked up, her eyes sparkling: "Really? Xiang'er can call me grandma?"

"How dare I lie to my mother? Even though I didn't call her that clearly, I was calling her Grandmother. The Duke complained bitterly about this, saying that he tried to coax the child into calling him daddy whenever he had time, but the child didn't give him the slightest bit of respect."

The eldest princess laughed happily: "It's his due! Who told him to make our Xiang'er cry last time? Do you want Xiang'er to call you daddy? Wait a little longer!"

"That's right. As a mother, you should also help your daughter-in-law. At least let Xiang'er call her mother." Shen Xinyan said with a smile.

"Okay, let Xiangge'er call mother first. Let's go and see Xiangge'er."

"How can I trouble my mother? I will ask someone to bring Xiang'er here."

"No need, no need. I'm just taking this short walk to relax."

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the eldest princess got up and walked out, Shen Xinyan winked at Wei Chenglin, who seemed to be at a loss for a rare moment. Wei Chenglin understood and followed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out the door.

When Wei Junhang returned in the evening, Shen Xinyan told him what had happened that day.

Looking at his wife who was somewhat worried, Wei Junhang smiled helplessly: "The first two times, Brother Lin did what you wanted. Now he is unwilling to do so this time. Are you not used to it?"

Shen Xinyan was choked by him.

"Brother Lin is not too old, but he is not too young either. He has been working for His Majesty for many years and has gained experience. His horizons must be broader and he may have other plans for his marriage. Let's wait and see. After all, there are still a few years left."
