Young Master Lin lowered his eyes. He would always think of the first time he saw Wei An many years ago. At that time, he was ordered to search the Wei family's manor. Cao An and Cao Wen were supposed to kill people, but she was a tiny little girl but she was not afraid at all. She stayed by her grandmother's side quietly but did not let anyone ignore her presence...
Later, he kept thinking about one question, that is, was it because he was too serious and too bad at talking in front of her that she kept her distance from him? Could they only get along as friends
When he rushed out to hug the fourth daughter of the Mei family to prevent her from falling down the hillside, he was still thinking about this question in his mind - the fourth daughter of the Mei family was a girl very similar to him. They were all very strong and could solve everything by themselves. If someone liked them, they couldn't wait for them to speak up, because they might never speak up, or they would offer equal conditions to exchange with you. But in this way, they would always regard you as an ally and friend. He didn't want to miss it again. He also knew that if he wanted to win the heart of such a girl, actions were always more important than words. What he should do was to stand up and be worthy of their support.
He did not answer Chen Chen's words, but stared at his cup in a daze for a moment, which was unprecedented.
The fourth young lady of the Mei family is really a lot like Wei An, he thought to himself, then he laughed and shook his head - not really, at least in many aspects they are completely different.
Wei An is smart, and the fourth young lady of the Mei family is also smart, but these two kinds of intelligence are different. Wei An is a person who would go to the mountain of tigers even though he knows there are tigers there. Even if she can see the risks ahead, she will not change her choice. But the fourth young lady of the Mei family is different. She can also see the risks, but she will not be like Wei An. She is a girl who is cunning but also a bit tough.
Thinking of her cousin's expression when she stepped forward to question him immediately after landing, he couldn't help but feel like laughing. This little girl was really a very smart person. She knew that her cousin had bad intentions. If it were someone else, she would have stopped when her cousin had apologized in tears, but she didn't. In front of Chen Chen and Lin Sanshao, she smiled and asked her cousin: "Why did my cousin ask those embarrassing questions just now? My cousin is also an educated person. Don't you know the consequences of your questions? If Lin Sanshao doesn't marry me, I will have no way out?"
Her cousin was so anxious that she cried pitifully and repeatedly reiterated that she did not mean that.
The fourth daughter of the Mei family asked her again, "Since you didn't mean that, you are really stupid, and you don't even know it. I fell down, and someone came to save me out of kindness. As a sister, you didn't thank them, and you didn't ask the servants to cover me up. Instead, you loudly questioned me about how it was proper for me to hug a man. If you weren't deliberately looking for trouble, then what was that?"
She said confidently: "No matter whether you are stupid or too smart, I will not recognize a cousin like you in the future. When I go back, I will ask all the mothers to bear witness for me that I have not behaved badly. Now my cousin has admitted that what she said just now was stupid. After I return to Beijing, if any word of these words spread out, I will think that my cousin is spreading rumors in the ancient kiln."
This girl was gentle but strong, and Young Master Lin raised his eyebrows on the spot.
She didn't seem to take his words about taking responsibility to heart.
Of course, it wasn't appropriate to just hug her and take her home, so he didn't say anything else, fearing that he might be rude to the girl or that she might not agree.
However, they did not expect that there would be another accident on the way back to Beijing-----they took the same route when they came out, but took different routes when they returned. Who knew that Lin Sanshao and Chen Chen would run into them again on their way back after finishing their business at Baoguo Temple.
The Mei family's carriage was blocked on the road. The nearby villagers set up a roadblock and said that their carriage had hit a cow in the village and they wanted to see the officials.
Although the fourth daughter of the Mei family said she would give silver, what the villagers valued was not the silver but the cows. These cows were the foundation of their survival and were even more important than their lives. The death of a cow was really a big deal for them.
Even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy it.
The villagers were very excited and nothing seemed to be wrong.
But Young Master Lin noticed something was wrong - he looked at the cow and found that it was not hit to death as the villagers said, because the external injuries on the cow were obviously knife wounds, not injuries caused by being hit.
He and Shen Chen looked at each other and decided to step forward to help and solve the problem.
The problem had originally been resolved, and it was confirmed that the villagers who were causing trouble were arranged by Miss Mei's cousin long ago, who was prepared to embarrass Miss Mei and ruin her reputation. So Third Master Lin planned to leave and let Miss Mei handle household affairs.
Who knew that the fourth young lady of the Mei family suddenly called him.
At that time he was still confused and looked at her with a cold face.
The fourth daughter of the Mei family asked him through the car window: "They just called you Third Young Master, what's your name?"
After all the fuss, he and Shen Chen had not yet revealed their identities. At this moment, he raised his eyebrows and said his name.
He thought her reaction would be fierce after spreading the name that could stop children from crying at night. However, after a moment of silence in the carriage, the fourth daughter of the Mei family suddenly said, "Since you said you would marry me responsibly, will you ask the ice man to come to my house to propose marriage after you return? My family name is Mei..."
The mothers nearby were so frightened that they almost collapsed. They all wanted to jump into the carriage to cover the mouth of the fourth young lady of the Mei family, and began to interrupt the conversation.
He couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this little girl who knew his identity but still didn't take it seriously like Wei An was extremely cute. He smiled as he looked at her struggling face and said, "Of course."
Chen Chen concluded: "You still say that I have bad intentions, I think you should be happy secretly, who said that you want to marry her? In front of so many people, I didn't say a word from beginning to end."
Young Master Lin still had a little smile on his face. This time he did not refute. He leaned back on the chair and said, "Okay, I do like this girl."
Chen Chen smiled and punched him: "I have admired you for a long time. When I was young, I threatened to marry you, but you, a heartless man, forgot about me and didn't remember me. This is the fate we have had since childhood. You must treat me well in the future and don't hurt my heart."
