Chapter 937: Daring
Lin Wan knew Ning Wuwu's mood very well at the moment, and Ning Wuwu didn't speak because of the question that Lu Qishan mentioned later about whether Lin Zhihuai was in favor or not. Ning Wuwu's past is an open secret, does Lin Zhihuai really approve of his son marrying such a woman? As the right prime minister of Dafeng, Lin Zhihuai is willing to fight with a prince for the sake of his son's marriage, and destroy his future?
If Lin Zhihuai doesn't agree, Ning Wuwu stands up and says that he is in love with Lin Ruichen, but he can only become the laughing stock of others, putting himself and Lin Ruichen into a more difficult situation and putting everyone into a more embarrassing situation.
Lin Ruichen did not immediately answer Lu Qishan's question, and the scene was a little embarrassing. Lu Qishan had already begun to be proud, and a smile also appeared on Zhou Tianzheng's face, and his eyes were full of hope.
Lin Wan suddenly said crisply: "Father, Wan'er knows that her father is in favor of the marriage of her brother and sister Wuwu. Wan'er once talked to her father, and her father originally thought that her brother should not climb the family affairs of the eldest princess's mansion. However, later, my father saw that his brother had a deep love for Sister Wuwu, and he was also moved by him. The father said that parents only want their children to be happy, and since the elder brother has already identified the county lord of Sanssouci, the father does not object. ”
Zhou Changan was stunned, turned his head to look at Lin Wan, frowned again, raised his eyes to look at the audience, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Lin Aiqing?"
Lin Zhihuai had been listening to the conversation above in the audience, of course he knew that he had to come forward, and slowly went up the steps. Before Zhou Chang'an's words fell, he had already stood on the high platform and responded loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is here!"
Zhou Changan saw that Lin Zhihuai was nearby, knowing that he had heard their previous conversation, nodded and asked straight to the point: "Lin Aiqing, what do you think about Ling Lang's request to me for marriage?"
The sweat on Lin Zhihuai's forehead was about to run down, he wiped it gently, took two steps forward, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Weichen did know in advance that the dog was infatuated with Princess Sanssouci. However, Weichen didn't know that the dog was so bold and reckless, and dared to openly ask the emperor for marriage, and Weichen was negligent in disciplining the dog, so please forgive the emperor!"
Zhou Changan waved his hand impatiently, and said: "Lin Aiqing is serious, my fair lady, good gentleman, what's wrong? I am asking you, what do you think of Ling Lang and Wuwu's marriage?" After a pause, without waiting for Lin Zhihuai's answer, he continued: "You see, my son also likes to be carefree, and he is also asking me for a marriage, and I am very embarrassed. So, I want to hear Lin Aiqing's opinion. Lin Aiqing, as General Lin's father and my right-hand man, I really hope that you can help me with my worries. ”
Lin Zhihuai couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, what did Zhou Chang'an mean by this? Zhou Chang'an once again affirmed that the third prince, Zhou Tianzheng, also liked Ning Wuwu, but he had to listen to his opinion and let him decide, wouldn't it be obvious that he wanted to make him back down? However, would Lin Ruichen agree?
Lin Wan turned her head to look at Lin Zhihuai, she knew that Lin Zhihuai was making a very difficult decision at the moment, she didn't know what Lin Zhihuai's final decision was, but she very much hoped that their father, at such a critical moment, could stand with them and not let them down.
Lin Ruichen also looked at Lin Zhihuai, his eyes were very complicated, he was very worried, he had no confidence in Lin Zhihuai, he didn't know why Lin Wan dared to say that his father was not opposed, how dare he let Lin Zhihuai speak for himself in front of the emperor and the queen mother. But he believed in Lin Wan, at least so far, Lin Wan's decision had not been missed.
Lin Zhihuai raised his eyes and glanced at his two children quickly, and suddenly made a decision in his heart. No why, just for the sake of these two children being so good, he can't lose their trust.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Zhihuai's body, waiting for his decision.
Lin Zhihuai pondered for a long time, and finally slowly spoke, "Emperor Qiqi, the county lord of worry-free is of course very good, so His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the dog are so devoted to her. Weichen is the same, of course, I hope that such a good girl can become the daughter-in-law of our Lin family. But—"
Lin Wan's heart was cold, and this sentence of "but" made everyone's hearts pinch again.
Zhou Changan, Lu Qishan, Lu Jinyun, and Zhou Tianzheng showed a smile on their faces; Lin Ruichen's face turned white all of a sudden; even Ning Wuwu, who had not reacted all the time, closed his eyes in despair; Zhou Changying looked at Ning Wuwu and sighed distressedly.
Lin Zhihuai paused, but didn't let everyone wait too long, and continued: "However, Weichen believes that since His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the dog are both in love with the county lord of Sanssoucia, then it should be up to the county lord of Sanssouci to decide who she is willing to spend her life with. After all, it's about her lifelong happiness. If the county lord of Sanssouci chooses the dog, of course Weichen is happy for the dog, and if the county lord of Sanssouci chooses His Royal Highness the Three Princes, Weichen is also happy for His Royal Highness the Three Princes, for the emperor, and for my great feudal country. Therefore, Weichen also implored the emperor to let the county lord of worry-free decide for himself, so that the lover will eventually become a family!"
Lin Wan and Lin Ruichen's hearts immediately burst into ecstasy, their eyes lit up, and the eyes that looked at Lin Zhihuai were different, and those eyes were full of respect and gratitude.
Ning Wuwu also opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with tears, which were tears of excitement and joy. For the first time, she raised her eyes to look at the man who had always been very strange to her, the father who had once made Lin Ruichen full of hatred. She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was not as ruthless as Lin Ruichen said, and only valued power.
Zhou Changan looked at Lin Zhihuai, and was very shocked by his decision, Zhou Changan didn't expect that Lin Zhihuai would dare to say such a thing in front of him, the Queen Mother, the Empress and the Three Princes. Although he said it tactfully, he said it well, and finally returned the decision to Zhou Changan, but Lin Zhihuai's meaning was very clear, and the Lin Mansion was willing to accept Ning Wuwu. With Lin Zhihuai's words, Ning Wuwu no longer has any worries.
Even Zhou Tianzheng had begun to despair when he heard Lin Zhihuai's words, his only hope was that Lin Zhihuai did not agree to Lin Ruichen marrying Ning Wuwu, and Zhou Changan could justifiably crown Ning Wuwu as the third prince's concubine.
With Ning's worry-free character, if Lin Ruichen's father rejected it in public, it would be impossible for her to choose Lin Ruichen again. But now?
Zhou Changan nodded, did not hesitate any longer, turned his head to Ning Wuwu and said: "Worry-free, since the imperial sister and Lin Aiqing both feel that this matter should be decided by yourself, then I will give you this power, let you choose one of the three princes and General Lin, and I will give you a marriage." ”
