To be honest, Wang Mingyuan and Wang Mingzhi were very happy to learn that the only son of the head of the Lin family wanted to marry Wang Changxue.
The Lin family has built a tree on the towering Zixiao Gate tree. With the blessing of Master Yunxiao, the Lin family's development prospects are very good. With such a son and daughter in-law, the development of the Wang family will be smoother.
However, when they learned that they were equal wives, Wang Mingzhi and Wang Mingyuan's expressions became ugly.
An equal wife is just a nice thing to say. It has the same status as a concubine. Wang Mingzhi cannot marry his daughter to someone else as a concubine.
Wang Changxue is respectful to her elders, loves her younger generation, respects the old and loves the young, and is very diligent in her work. Everyone in the Wang family likes her. If Wang Mingyuan marries Wang Changxue to Lin Yuting for the future development of the family, it will definitely chill the hearts of the clan members.
Of course, Wang Mingyuan would not do this.
You know, Wang Changfeng, who has the best qualifications in the Wang family and is the most promising to advance to the foundation building stage, is Wang Changxue's brother.
The Wang family is training Wang Changfeng as a future foundation-building monk. If Wang Changxue is betrothed to Lin Yuting, there is no guarantee that Wang Changfeng will be resentful and alienated from the family. Although the Wang family is not a famous family, they will not betray their daughter.
If this matter had been put aside before, Wang Mingyuan would have refused without hesitation, but now that the Lin family and Master Yunxiao have become in-laws, the Lin family's future development prospects are very good. If he refuses directly, the Wang family will definitely offend the Lin family.
The Lin family had just announced Lin Yuxin's marriage, and the Wang family rejected the Lin family's marriage proposal. Wasn't this a slap in the Lin family's face? The Lin family would definitely not let it go like this.
Wang Mingyuan felt very embarrassed, could not sleep all night, and had no appetite for breakfast.
Wang Changsheng frowned, he never thought that the Lin family would send someone to propose marriage, or Lin Yuting, a romantic young man, wouldn't this push his second sister Wang Changxue into the fire pit
"Dad, uncle, we can't betroth my second sister to him. Lin Yuting is a romantic woman, I've seen it with my own eyes."
Wang Changsheng told what happened during the Tianhe meeting. He did not want his second sister to marry such a person.
After listening to Wang Changsheng's words, Wang Mingyuan and Wang Mingzhi's expressions became even uglier. Now it seems that neither the ordinary wife nor the legal wife can agree to this marriage, but if they refuse directly, the Lin family will probably become angry.
"Dad, uncle, why don't you just say that the second sister is already betrothed to someone else and put Lin Yuting's thoughts away. As time goes by, Lin Yuting will probably forget about it."
Wang Changsheng thought for a while and suggested.
Wang Mingyuan shook his head and explained: "The Lin family sent Lin Huaisheng here. This man is the third brother of the head of the Lin family. As soon as he sat down, he asked your uncle Changxue if he was betrothed to someone else. Your uncle didn't think much about it and told the truth no."
"It's all my fault that I was deceived by lard. I thought he was a member of the Lin family, so I told the truth. But I never thought it was Lin Yuting, a playboy. It's all my fault."
Wang Mingzhi was full of self-blame. Before his wife died, she repeatedly told him to arrange a good marriage for Wang Changxue and not to wrong Wang Changxue. Knowing that Lin Yuting was a romantic, it was impossible for him to betroth Wang Changxue to Lin Yuting, but now the Wang family I can't afford to offend the Lin family.
"Brother, I don't blame you for this. You don't know that Lin Huaisheng is asking for marriage on Lin Yuting's behalf. Otherwise, they will say that you are seriously ill and your life is in danger. Changxue cannot bear it and wants to stay by his side to serve..."
Wang Mingyuan stopped automatically as he spoke. This excuse was full of loopholes. Wang Mingzhi had a drink with Lin Huaisheng yesterday, and a day later, he fell seriously ill. This was treating the Lin family as fools, and the Lin family could not let it go.
"Dad, third uncle, you don't have to be embarrassed, I'll marry you."
Wang Changxue's voice suddenly sounded.
Wang Changsheng turned around and saw Wang Changxue walking in quickly with a determined look on his face.
"Changxue, why are you here?"
"You haven't returned home all night. I guess you are at Third Uncle's place. I want to ask you to go back for breakfast. Dad, Third Uncle, we can't afford to offend the Lin family. I am willing to marry Lin Yuting. My daughter will not be able to fulfill her filial piety in front of your bed in the future. I hope you will take good care of yourself.”
Wang Changxue said with red eyes.
She didn't want to bring down the family because of herself, and she didn't want to make things difficult for her father and third uncle.
She planned to sacrifice herself to help the entire clan.
"Hey, do you know who Lin Yuting is? Before she died, your mother held my hand and repeatedly told me to arrange a good marriage for you. I must not wrong you. Lin Yuting was a romantic person. If I asked you to marry To Lin Yuting, how will I explain to your mother a hundred years from now?"
Wang Mingzhi sighed, tears couldn't help but slide down his cheeks.
Wang Changxue forced a smile on her face and comforted herself: "Dad, your daughter will get married sooner or later. It doesn't matter who she marries. After all, Lin Yuting is the only son of the head of the Lin family. She has a noble status. Marrying him is not an injustice. At worst, my daughter will turn a blind eye from now on."
Wang Mingyuan waved his hand and said seriously: "Changxue, please stop talking. Third uncle will not let you marry Lin Yuting. Third uncle can't just watch you jump into the fire pit. Knowing that Lin Yuting has a romantic nature, I still let you If you marry him, if I really do this, how can I have the honor to be the head of this family, and how can I have the honor to face the ancestors of the family, this is selling my daughter for glory, and I, Wang Mingyuan, can't do that."
Wang Changsheng frowned and his mind was spinning rapidly. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Dad, I thought of a good way. Maybe the second sister doesn't have to marry Lin Yuting."
"What can I do? Tell me quickly."
Wang Mingyuan urged, Wang Mingzhi and Wang Changxue looked at Wang Changsheng expectantly.
"We can agree to this marriage and send someone to kidnap the second sister on the wedding day. Then the Lin family will have nothing to say. There are examples of this in the secular world."
"Hey, you had a bad idea. If the Lin family sent the foundation-building monks to escort you, could you snatch Changxue back? Even if you could kidnap Changxue, how could the Lin family just let it go? If it were traced to us afterwards, the disaster would be even greater. This approach doesn’t work.”
Wang Mingyuan waved his hand and rejected the proposal.
"Yeah! Your idea won't work."
At this moment, Liu Qing'er walked in and saw Wang Mingyuan and the other four people with sad faces. She frowned and asked, "What are you talking about? Why do you look so ugly?"
Wang Changsheng told the truth about what happened. After listening, Liu Qing'er chuckled and said to Wang Mingyuan: "Brother Yuan, do you still remember? My father-in-law initially disagreed with our marriage and put you in confinement. You want to escape. Come and fly away with me. If Changxue elopes with someone, the Lin family will have nothing to say! But in this case, Changxue will be wronged. He will not be able to come back to the family in a short time, and his reputation will be ruined. It will be difficult to marry in the future. "
"This is a good idea. Compared with Changxue's lifelong happiness, fame is nothing, Changxue, what do you think?"
Wang Mingzhi's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
Wang Changxue was a little moved, but she remembered something, shook her head and said: "Lin Huaisheng may not believe this reason. The Lin family is not a fool. It is impossible not to see that we are making excuses. Dad, third uncle, you should let me marry Come on! I don’t want to bring trouble to the family, or my daughter will turn a blind eye in the future."
Wang Mingyuan waved his hand and said sternly: "Changxue, I am the head of the family, I have the final say. Big brother, let's go find the second uncle and ask him what his attitude is. Changxue, you stay here, and you will be with me and your father." Don’t run around before you come back, Changsheng, keep an eye on your second sister and don’t let her do stupid things.”
