Chapter 503 The Thoughts of the Nangong Brothers
"Hehe, Princess Changping, please have a seat..." Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's light cough, the head of the Nangong family, remembering that there was a distinguished guest present, immediately put on a warm smile and looked at Lin Luoxi.
"Yes, Nangong family, you may also sit..." Lin Luoxi pulled Xie Hanchuan to sit in the main seat and invited the head of the Nangong family to sit as well.
The three people who were excitedly embracing at the door knew that this was not appropriate, so they followed them into the private room. The servants of the Nangong family, with great insight, closed the door of the private room.
"Patriarch Nangong, when we went to search Li Houchong's house, we happened to find your daughter chained to the basement by Li Houcong, and then we rescued her..."
Having just promised Madam Nangong, and with no outsiders present, Lin Luoxi told the truth.
"Thank you, Princess Changping, for saving my daughter's life." Fortunately, Princess Changping came; otherwise, if their family had been involved in a marriage alliance with Li Houchong, they would have certainly been implicated.
"No need for thanks, we've taken a liking to your son..." Lin Luoxi looked directly at the head of the Nangong family.
"This, this..." Is Princess Changping really going to be this direct? The ever-victorious general is still around.
This left the Nangong family head speechless, and he looked at Lin Luoxi with an embarrassed expression.
Of course, if they could get in touch with Princess Changping, it would be incredibly lucky for the Nangong family.
Lin Luoxi's words not only convinced the head of the Nangong family, but also stunned Nangong Chuying and Madam Nangong. It turned out that Princess Changping was willing to take action because she had her eye on their youngest son, Nangong Mobai.
"Father, Mother, the reason my second sister helped our Nangong family is because my sister, Princess Changping's sister, and I are in love and have reached the point of discussing marriage..."
Nangong Mobai knew that now was the perfect time for him to explain, so he immediately stepped forward to do so.
"You brat, why didn't you tell me sooner about something so important? I've taught you to be responsible since you were little..."
If he had known that his youngest son was already in love with Princess Changping's sister, he wouldn't have forced his son to marry the 180-pound obese girl from the Li family.
Thinking of this, the head of the Nangong family immediately glared at Nangong Mobai. Fortunately, Princess Changping was magnanimous. If it were anyone else, they would have already torn his irresponsible son to pieces.
"Father, since I came home, you haven't let me say a single word. Besides, Luo Ning doesn't intend for me to take responsibility..." Nangong Mobai's voice trailed off.
"So it was all a misunderstanding. I thought the Nangong family head didn't like my sister, which is why he made Nangong Mobai marry someone else..." Lin Luoxi's words had several meanings, as she squinted at the Nangong family head.
“Princess Anping, you misunderstand. I had no idea that this boy was causing such trouble outside. If I had known, I would have brought a matchmaker and a generous dowry to your door to arrange your sister’s marriage.” The head of the family said this very carefully, for fear of offending Lin Luoxi.
"Now, I'll immediately send someone back to prepare things. We'll definitely go to Quanzhou tomorrow to propose marriage to your parents..." The head of the Nangong family couldn't wait to pack his things and set off immediately, thinking about how his family was going to become in-laws with Lin Luoxi.
"Well, it's good that Patriarch Nangong has this intention. My condition is that if Nangong Mobai wants to marry my sister, he must separate from your family so that the young couple can live independently..."
"I don't want to go into the complicated family relationships of your family, but I just don't want my sister to suffer..."
Regardless of the Nangong family head's expression, Lin Luoxi presented all the necessary conditions without missing a single one.
“Okay, I agree.” Madam Nangong was the first to stand up and agree.
She had been married into the Nangong family for twenty years, and in those twenty years, she naturally understood the thoughts and intentions of everyone in the Nangong family thoroughly. She didn't want her son and daughter-in-law to live in such a repressive environment.
Besides, although her son is a bit timid, with Princess Changping backing her up, their lives won't be too bad.
“Okay, I agree too…” Both sons are his flesh and blood, and Nangong Mobai is still his own biological son. Naturally, he doesn’t want the collateral branches to be plotting against his son all the time.
As long as Princess Changping protects him, his son will be able to live a healthy life.
"Alright, since it's all settled, we'll set off back tomorrow." Now that the terms with the Nangong family have been agreed upon, Lin Luoxi doesn't want to stay in Lingnan any longer.
As for the vacancy of the prefect position held by Li Houchong, she believed that Xiao Jingchen would definitely send someone to take over the area, so she didn't need to worry about it.
"Second sister, I'll go back with you tomorrow." Nangong Mobai was surprised that Lin Luoxi would ultimately step in to help him resolve the issue of leaving the Nangong family, and he was filled with excitement.
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Tomorrow, our whole family will go to Quanzhou together." The head of the Nangong family glared at Nangong Mobai, who couldn't even speak properly.
"Okay, let's all set off back to Quanzhou together tomorrow." It would be best if the Nangong family was this enthusiastic, Lin Luoxi nodded.
Both parties settled everything at the dinner. By the time they finished eating, it was already evening, and they went home to prepare their belongings.
When the people of the second, third, and fourth branches of the Nangong family first heard that Lord Li had been punished by Princess Changping and had fallen from power, they were all gloating at home, waiting for the head of the Nangong family to return.
As evening approached, everyone was making sarcastic remarks on the surface, but in reality, they were all watching to see the head of the Nangong family make a fool of himself.
Seeing the ugly faces of his younger brothers, the head of the Nangong family calmly revealed that Nangong Mobai was going to marry Princess Changping's sister.
Upon hearing that Nangong Mobai had made connections with Princess Changping and would be accompanying her to Quanzhou the next day, everyone was green with envy.
"Big brother, you're setting off with Princess Changping tomorrow, why don't you take us with you too?" After receiving a signal from his wife, the second son of the Nangong family said with a smile to the head of the Nangong family.
He also has a son who is of marriageable age. He looks almost the same as Nangong Mobai and is even more outstanding. Once his son appears, what chance does Nangong Mobai have?
"That's right, eldest brother, it's incredibly lucky that our Nangong family has managed to get in touch with Princess Changping. You must introduce us to her!" Nangong the third brother chimed in when he saw Nangong the second brother speak up.
They're all brothers, they know what's on their minds. Even if they don't have sons, they have daughters.
If they could manage to place a woman in the hands of the ever-victorious general who serves Princess Changping, their family would definitely surpass their elder brother, and perhaps they would be the next great family to succeed them…
"Hmph, Princess Changping specifically instructed that only our eldest son's family of four should accompany her to Quanzhou. I dare not disobey Princess Changping's orders..."
When the head of the Nangong family saw his younger brothers sitting at the lower seat with their eyes darting around, he knew what they were up to.
