Artemis' carriage is of course much more spacious than Lin Shuo's carriage.
There are more than enough seats for four people in the carriage, namely Artemis, Lin Shuo, Miao Chengyun, and Su Dongdong who had been talking with the duchess before.
In the end, in front of Su Dongdong, Artemis offered a deal.
Fortunately, it was Miao Chengyun who quickly restrained Su Dongdong, otherwise there would be blood splashing five steps in the carriage.
Because the deal Artemis offered was to make Lin Shuo her husband.
When Su Dongdong heard the content of the transaction, he stared straight at Artemis, as if he wanted to eat this woman.
Artemis finished talking about the deal calmly, and then looked at Su Dongdong playfully: "Is there nothing to talk about about this deal?"
"Nonsense!" Lin Shuo, who had always been a calm person, was now so stimulated that he wanted to beat someone up.
Artemis nodded, then looked at Miao Chengyun, as if he was considering a replacement.
Miao Chengyun's face turned pale with fright, he knew his wife was eavesdropping, let alone such a thing, he dared not even think about it.
In the end, Artemis shook his head, looked at Su Dongdong, and said, "Dongdong, you are real. Since I said it was a business, it is a fake. If it is true, I might as well say I am married. Why do you say that?" What about business?"
"Stop doing this." Su Dongdong said with a grim expression, "I don't know what the women who are close to Lin Shuo are thinking. There are too many routines."
"That can't be wrong." Miao Chengyun explained to Artemis, "She, the fourth lady, used all the tricks back then, and the trick she borrowed is much more powerful than Artemis' fake marriage."
"Shut up!" Su Dongdong became a little annoyed.
Lin Shuo also quickly stopped his brother: "Don't say anything."
"I'm not here to get close to Lin Shuo." Artemis explained to Su Dongdong, "I'm his senior sister, isn't the relationship close enough? And to be honest, if I really want to do something to him, I can control him with my thoughts and let him It's easy for a man to like me, I just don't want to.
The reason for this sale is that I, the buyer, really need this.
I can swear on this, after the transaction is over, I will never continue to pester Lin Shuo, otherwise I will be destroyed.
Dongdong, are you satisfied with this? "
"No, no, don't be so stiff." Miao Chengyun smoothed things over, "Artemis, I'm just curious, why did you make this deal
You have a fiancé, isn't the third prince's marriage contract still there
One woman does not marry two husbands, I can't understand you playing like this. "
"I'm a duchess. According to the customs of Daxizhou, you can have a concubine." Artemis said, "But this time I claim to marry Lin Shuo, not because I want Lin Shuo to be my concubine, but as a real concubine. s husband."
"Oh, this means breaking up with the third prince, right?" Miao Chengyun nodded, as if he had already understood, and persuaded earnestly, "Indeed, it is too much to tie your fiancée to the stake. up.
Sister, if you want to break up with him, I support you.
But let's be reasonable, even if you want to break up with the third prince, you don't have to have anything to do with Lin Shuo, right
Your reputation in this area is not good. This time, the Principality of Mia has suppressed it, and other places may not know what to say about you.
It turns out that you are engaged to be engaged, and then you get next to a man, which is not appropriate. "
"That's right." Lin Shuo quickly chimed in, "This matter has nothing to do with me."
Artemis sighed: "You don't understand, when I come to Xiangshan Principality, it's not enough for me to just sever ties with the third prince, I have to humiliate him."
"Hey, so don't offend women, it's too scary." Miao Chengyun shrank his neck, and then asked, "Why?"
"Because this Duke of Xiangshan is the eldest prince's cousin, and the former Duke of Xiangshan is the uncle of the current eldest prince." Artemis said, "I mean, do you understand?"
"I don't understand." Miao Chengyun shook his head, "You have to make it clear."
Artemis said: "The second prince of the Tianlan Empire died early, and the next emperor of the Tianlan Empire will be born between the eldest prince and the third prince.
Nowadays, regarding the succession to the throne, the ruling and opposition parties are also divided into two factions.
According to the ancestral legal system, of course it is the eldest prince, but the third prince has won the holy family, so it is hard to say until the end of this matter.
The Duke of Xiangshan is the eldest prince's natal family and one of the most staunch supporters.
When my father was here before, the Principality of Mia was monolithic and stronger than their Xiangshan, of course it doesn't matter.
But it's different now, the Principality of Mia's forces are scattered, and it's no match for the Principality of Xiangshan.
Therefore, if the Principality of Mia wants to have a good relationship with the Principality of Xiangshan, it must draw a clear line with the third prince.
Even drawing a clear line is not enough, the third prince has to be humiliated about the marriage contract, so that my visit to the Duke of Xiangshan can be regarded as a minimum of sincerity.
Therefore, I need a husband, preferably a husband with the strength of a two-character title.
In this way, apart from agreeing with the Principality of Xiangshan, there will be an extra fear, and the Principality of Mia will be able to turn the crisis into safety. "
"Look for him." Lin Shuo suggested, pointing to Miao Chengyun, "A master with a real two-word title and strength, he is handsome and handsome, no matter his appearance or ability, he is definitely no worse than the third prince. Taking it out will not embarrass you, senior sister. .”
"He can't." Artemis shook his head.
Miao Chengyun was originally afraid that Artemis would call his name, but when he learned that he was underestimated by others, this person became unhappy again and asked, "Hey, why can't I do it?"
"Because your reputation is rotten." Artemis said, "You used to sing and sing every night in Beishan Castle, how many women were spoiled in an average night
For a man like you, if I recruit you as my husband, will people believe me
This appears to be insufficient sincerity. "
"It's as if you have a good reputation." Miao Chengyun rolled his eyes.
"My reputation is not good, but I'm a duke now, so I have to find a man with a good reputation." Artemis looked at Lin Shuo, "How about junior brother, senior sister, I'll find you as a temporary husband, you Willing or not?"
"What if I don't want to?" Lin Shuo asked.
"If you don't want to, I can't take you to find the master." Artemis said, "I have to go back and prepare for the battle, lest the Principality of Mia be annexed by others."
"Artemis, you are too shameless." Su Dongdong said, "You are blackmailing him, right? The conditions that were agreed before will change if they change?"
"I can't help it either. Who made me the lord of a country?" Artemis lowered his head and said, "Dongdong, don't worry, I won't really steal your man."
"I believe in you!" Su Dongdong scolded.
"It's unbelievable." Miao Chengyun looked at Lin Shuo and said with a smile, "Because she told her sister the same way before."
"Just shut up." Lin Shuo only felt a splitting headache.
…
Coming back from the duchess' car, the leader of the hunting gate was downcast.
The fourth wife Su Dongdong, after all, is the elder sister of the eldest lady Su Nianqiu, even though she is usually more fierce than the eldest lady, she is actually very soft-hearted.
With a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, Artemis couldn't stand the pleading later, and finally agreed to the deal reluctantly.
Lin Shuo couldn't do anything about it, because he was taking his dead seat, finding a mother was a big deal, and the leader of the hunting gate himself had no bargaining power.
Anyway, from then on until Lin Shuo left Daxizhou, he was the nominal husband of Artemis, the Duchess of Mia.
Although it was only in name and nothing substantive, Su Dongdong was dissatisfied with this matter, and it would definitely spread to the ears of the other wives in the family. At that time, the Lin family will be busy again, and the wives will not let Lin Shuo go easily.
Lin Shuo sat down in his compartment with a sad face.
Wei Xingshan and Yang Baokun looked at each other, smiled without saying a word.
What happened in the Duchess' carriage just now was called a loud conspiracy, and it was so noisy that the people around had already heard it.
Wei Xingshan and Yang Baokun knew that Lin Shuo was embarrassed at the moment, so they didn't say anything. As a result, they didn't speak, and someone spoke.
Moxiya got into the carriage, sat in front of Lin Shuo, and said, "Mr. Lin, how can I explain to my superiors when you do this?"
"What's none of my business?" Lin Shuo became angry when he heard about it, "You think I'm willing?"
"Then I will report the truth to the third prince." Moxiya asked tentatively, "Mr. Lin wants to rob his fiancée."
"It's not a real robbery." Lin Shuo clarified, "It's just a claim."
"Similarly, since this matter has been announced, it is tantamount to being true." Mosiah reminded, "It is fine for the royal family not to want Artemis as a daughter-in-law, but Artemis can't take the initiative to tear up the engagement. face."
"Then what?"
"Then, even if the third prince didn't want to deal with you before, for the sake of the royal family's face, he must kill you and Artemis with his own hands." Moxie said, "Mr. There is no wiggle room."
"Then why don't you report it?" Wei Xingshan suggested.
"You have all declared that to the outside world. If I don't report it, someone else will report it." Moxie said, "The result has not changed, and I will be executed for dereliction of duty."
"Then report it." Lin Shuo waved his hand, "There's no need to embarrass you."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your understanding." Mosea hesitated, and said, "Mr. Lin, is it really necessary to go this far? Artemis is a crazy woman, why should you go crazy with her?"
Lin Shuo shook his head, ignored the trouble, but said, "When you write a letter to the Third Prince, persuade him for me.
It is not easy for him to have such attainments in practice at such a young age, and he still has a chance to inherit the throne.
Since there is a bright future waiting for him, and I don't think other people are confused, don't waste your life for the battle of emotions.
I didn't want to be his enemy at first, but if he is really so upset, I, Lin Shuo, can accompany him. "
"You are adding fuel to the fire." Moxie said with a wry smile.
"I'm just telling the truth." Lin Shuo said flatly, "I'm from overseas, and I'm different from you, so there's no need to spoil your master."
