Luo Shenyuan said, "Actually, I'm here for this too." He raised his head and said calmly, "...Duke, I'm here to propose marriage."
"I want to marry Yining."
After hearing this, Wei Ling turned around suddenly and opened his mouth wide.
He didn't recover for a long time and asked again: "Master Luo, what did you say just now?"
"I know Yi Ning is in a difficult situation. If she marries hastily, she won't be able to find a good marriage." Luo Shenyuan had anticipated Wei Ling's reaction. He put down his teacup and said, "But if she marries me, she won't have to worry. I'm her brother, so I'll naturally protect her and won't let her suffer any harm. I'm now a high-ranking official, and she'll have a third-rank imperial decree after she marries me. Besides, I'm busy with court affairs all day, so I really don't have time for other things. It'll be quiet around me."
Wei Ling finally recovered.
Yining's third brother wants to marry her? From his tone, it seems that he wants to help Yining.
But he is Yining's elder brother and has watched Yining grow up since he was a child!
Wei Ling glanced at Luo Shenyuan again. Of course, he had to admit that the names of the Second and Third Young Masters were not even worthy of carrying his shoes. He was already the Minister of Works. His looks were impeccable, and his tactics and intelligence were formidable. Otherwise, how could he have a foothold in the officialdom where old foxes were rampant?
Although he is Yi Ning's brother... he is not her biological brother! He is willing to pay such a high price to help Yi Ning, which shows that he truly loves Yi Ning.
Wei Ling's tone softened. "Having said that, I'm naturally very grateful that you're willing to help her. But if you're going to make sacrifices to help her, I still advise you to think it over carefully. After all, if you really get married, Yi Ning will be your wife no matter what. It'll be too late for you to regret it."
Did Wei Ling misunderstand——
Luo Shenyuan smiled bitterly. He wanted to marry Yi Ning very much. If he really just wanted to help her, he would have plenty of ways to do it. Why would he sacrifice himself?
It was unclear whose greed was being satisfied by this matter. Duke Ying thought he was too selfless; it was he who was asking for something, not Yi Ning.
"You don't have a more suitable candidate." Luo Shenyuan continued, "From what I know, He Wenqing had an affair with his father's maid and was caught. The girl was later beaten and dragged away. As for Yining's cousin Cheng Lang, his own affairs are also very complicated and it's even more difficult to explain. Why don't I marry Yining, give her the honor and dignity of marriage, and protect her as well."
After hearing what Luo Shenyuan said, Wei Ling stood up and walked around.
The second son of the He family is also doing this? You can't judge a person by his appearance. He is having an affair with his father's girl. This is simply moral corruption. Fortunately, Yi Ning didn't agree!
Luo Shenyuan's words made sense. He was willing to marry Yi Ning because she was the best. Even Cheng Lang was not as good as him. Why should he be upset? Without Cheng Lang, he got Luo Shenyuan!
"That's indeed a good idea!" Wei Ling breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and said, "I think it's okay. As for your brother and sister—let's say that when Yining was fostered in your home, Mrs. Luo had already arranged this marriage, but since Yining was still young, you never mentioned it. Now that Yining has grown up, you can naturally say it."
The more Wei Ling spoke, the more he felt that this was possible: "With my testimony, I'm sure no one will say anything. You are now in the prime of your life, and the emperor values you, so others dare not criticize you." As he spoke, he stood up and shouted for the servant to come in and ask him to invite the young lady over. He turned around and smiled: "The girl just said that she wants to make her own decision on the marriage, so we have to ask her first."
When Yining heard that Luo Shenyuan had arrived, she took her maid back to the East Garden.
When she arrived at Zhigao Hall, she only saw Wei Ling sitting on the hall with a faint smile in his eyes. She was a little confused.
Turning back, she saw Luo Shenyuan standing behind her. He was dressed in formal red silk court robes, with his sash hanging down, looking so tall and straight. The setting sun outside cast a shadow on his shoulders and face, illuminating them with both light and darkness. He smiled faintly, held out his hand, and said, "Yining, follow me."
Where does he want to go with him?
Yining was led out of Zhigao Hall by him. Outside, the setting sun was shining through the willows, and the grass and trees were lush, as if she was in a dream.
Luo Shenyuan stood beside her and said in a deep voice, "I'm here to propose marriage." Yi Ning wanted to say something, but he shook his head. "Yining, if you can't accept me yet, you have to agree. There's no other way. I promise that we can get along as brother and sister first, and when you are willing, we can... okay?"
Yining didn't know what to say.
She almost agreed to marry him.
