In a courtyard of the Dan League, only Dugu Nian and Fang Lin were present.
"I'm sorry." Dugu Nian apologized to Fang Lin with a sad expression, not daring to look at Fang Lin.
Fang Lin was very calm and asked, "What's going on?"
Dugu Nian bit his lip, looking very hesitant, as if he had something to hide.
Fang Lin glanced at Dugu Nian and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it."
Dugu Nian raised his head, with a somewhat sad look in his eyes: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't want to involve you."
Fang Lin said lightly: "It seems that I have been involved now."
Dugu Nian was startled for a moment, then reacted.
Yes, even though he didn't tell Fang Lin anything and hoped that Fang Lin could stay out of the whirlpool, the Dugu family still regarded Fang Lin as an obstacle and had already involved Fang Lin.
Thinking of this, Dugu Nian felt even more sad. Although she was the eldest lady of the Dugu family, she would still have troubles that she couldn't help but be in such a big family.
"My Dugu family is experiencing changes recently. The royal family of Xuan Kingdom is putting pressure on my Dugu family. Prince Zhou Yishui wants to marry me as the crown princess." Dugu Nian said with a sad look on his face.
Hearing this, Fang Lin looked surprised. Prince Zhou Yishui actually wanted to marry Dugu Nian as the crown prince? This was something he never expected.
But in this way, many things can be figured out. No wonder Zhou Yishui rejected him so much when he was in the Prince's Mansion that day. It turned out to be because he and Dugu Nian were too close.
And before he came to Xuan Kingdom, Han Luoyun also reminded Fang Lin not to have any contact with the Dugu family for the time being.
It seems that Han Luoyun already knew about this matter at that time. When he said not to have any contact with the Dugu family, he actually wanted to tell Fang Lin not to have any further contact with Dugu Nian.
The Dugu family is now inviting me over again and again, and it must be because of this incident. It is estimated that the Dugu family wants to keep themselves away from Dugu Nian, and may even go too far and get rid of themselves directly, so as to let the prince Zhou Yishui was satisfied.
Fang Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the saying that beauty brings disaster. He and Dugu Nian had nothing to do with each other. They were already hostile to many people. The prince wanted to get rid of him, and the Dugu family also wanted to get rid of him. Lose yourself, who have you provoked
Dugu Nian felt bitter in his heart when he saw Fang Lin smiling bitterly.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with marrying the prince. This week Yishui is destined to take charge of Xuan Kingdom in the future, and you will be the queen by then." Fang Lin suddenly said with a smile.
Dugu Nian looked at Fang Lin blankly, and then became very angry for no reason.
"You bastard!" Dugu Nian kicked Fang Lin hard.
Although the kick was not forceful, Fang Lin still had a look on his face and coughed awkwardly: "Just kidding, if you don't want to marry him, then just don't marry him."
Dugu Nian was very angry, sitting on the stone bench and ignoring Fang Lin at all.
"With the power of your Dugu family, even if you don't agree to this marriage, nothing will happen. How come your Dugu family is still afraid of a mere Zhou Yishui mother?" Fang Lin asked.
Dugu Nian said angrily: "Of course Zhou Yishui is nothing, but nearly half of the senior officials of my Dugu family agreed to this marriage, and Emperor Xuan also mentioned it. Although my grandfather is the head of the family, It’s very difficult now, so I’m trying my best to put this matter off.”
Hearing this, Fang Lin understood Dugu Nian's current situation.
If the Dugu family is united and resolutely opposed, then even if the royal family is powerful, it will be impossible to force the Dugu family. After all, if they break up, the royal family will not get much advantage.
But the problem is that nearly half of the senior officials of the Dugu family sided with Zhou Yishui, agreed to the marriage, and helped Zhou Yishui try to arrange it, which made it a bit difficult to handle.
It seems that the senior officials of the Dugu family wanted to see him again and again, those who agreed to the marriage. They felt that his presence would make the prince Zhou Yishui dissatisfied and wanted to get rid of him.
At this moment, Fang Lin had to sigh. Being in a big force does have many benefits, but it also brings a lot of troubles. This feeling of being involuntarily is indeed very painful to think about.
"It's okay. Your grandfather and the others should be able to think of a way. If nothing else works, they will send you out of Xuan Kingdom and hide far away." Fang Lin patted Dugu Nian on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
Dugu Nian shook his head. It was unrealistic to hide. The eyes of the royal family were watching the entire Xuan Kingdom. As the apple of the eye of the Dugu family, if he secretly left the Xuan Kingdom, he would definitely be discovered, and this would also make the royal family dissatisfied with the Dugu family. .
The relationship between the Dugu family and the royal family is inextricably linked. There has been a precedent for a girl from the Dugu family to marry into the royal family. Even though she is the granddaughter of the head of the family, she does not have much say in such matters.
"It seems to be really troublesome." Fang Lin frowned.
Dugu Nian looked at him: "No matter what, don't get involved. With the protection of the Dan Alliance, Zhou Yishui can't do anything to you."
"Then what should you do?" Fang Lin asked.
Dugu Nian was speechless. It seemed that the current situation was beyond her control, and she could only leave everything to fate.
Silence fell between the two of them. No one knew what to say. Fang Lin sighed secretly in his heart. He was not stupid, so he could naturally sense that Dugu Nian had some special feelings for him.
But Fang Lin didn't. To be precise, Fang Lin's current energy was not focused on the love between his children and he had always stayed away from it.
Of course, Fang Lin didn't want Dugu Nian to marry that Zhou Yishui at all.
"Okay, I'm going back, be careful." Dugu Nian said.
Fang Lin nodded and sent Dugu Nian out of the Dan Alliance gate.
Dugu Nian looked back at Fang Lin, with a different emotion in his eyes, but Fang Lin turned a blind eye and smiled.
And this scene was also seen by a few people hiding in the dark.
After Dugu Nian left, Fang Lin couldn't calm down for a long time. Although he could stay away from the world, he felt very uncomfortable when he thought about Dugu Nian marrying Zhou Yishui.
However, his footing is not stable at the moment. He is as weak as an ant in Xuandu and can't do anything at all.
The next day, people from the Dugu family came over again, and this time the person who came was very important. He was the number one figure of the Dugu family in Xuandu, the seventh brother of the current head of the Dugu family, who was called He is the senior figure of Qi Ye.
He is also one of the strong figures in the Dugu family who supports the marriage between Dugu Nian and Zhou Yishui.
