The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Lin Cheng originally came to inspect Liu Jingwen, but after the inspection, Lin Cheng became a little worried about Lin Qingqing.

Liu Jingwen's goal is so high that he won't marry the person he loves until he becomes successful. So how long will his Qingqing have to wait before she can marry him?

Lin Cheng thought for a moment and then said to Liu Jingwen in a roundabout way, "Settling down and building a career should come first. So, I don't think you have to wait until you're successful before getting married. You can start with a family and then slowly work hard."

"What's more, you, a grown man, can wait, but can a girl wait?"

Waiting for a year or two is fine, but if you wait for three to five years, won't you become an old maid? Wouldn't you be laughed at to death?

Liu Jingwen was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "You, you think so?"

Lin Cheng nodded: "Yes."

Liu Jingwen thought thoughtfully: "What about the Shangshu, does he think the same way?"

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, remembering how his father was always worried about his sister's future. He must have wanted her to have a place to rely on as soon as possible. So he said firmly, "Yes, my father naturally thinks so too."

Liu Jingwen was still a little hesitant: "But I can't afford a decent betrothal gift, and I'm afraid of letting her down."

Lin Cheng waved his hand and said, "What's the big deal? You're the newly crowned number one scholar, and even a princess can marry you. The betrothal gift isn't that important; it's you as a person that matters. Besides, after a while, when the number one scholar's mansion is renovated, the palace will give you a reward, so you won't be so poor that you can't come up with anything."

Liu Jingwen's eyes were burning: "Are you serious?"

Lin Cheng was frightened by Liu Jingwen's wolf-like eyes: "D-do you take it seriously?"

Liu Jingwen immediately smiled and said to Lin Cheng, "Thank you, Lord Lin, for clearing up my confusion today and helping me solve the problem that has been bothering me for many days. Thank you very much."

Lin Cheng: “…”

I always feel that Liu Jingwen smiles a little too happily.

Lin Cheng thought so and couldn't help asking, "Are you really that happy?"

Liu Jingwen immediately coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Master Lin knows that I'm not young anymore. Ordinary men of my age would have married and had children long ago, so it's time for me to have a family. Secondly, I have no relatives at home, and I'm all alone. If I get married, I'll have family, a home, and roots in this world, and I won't be like floating duckweed."

These words were quite touching. Lin Cheng was not as thoughtful as his father, so he couldn't help but say, "In that case, you really should get married soon."

After all, a person is really pitiful.

Liu Jingwen reached out and shook Lin Cheng's hand, saying sincerely, "Please go home and tell Minister Lin what happened today. I will definitely work harder."

Lin Cheng: "Tell my father what?"

Liu Jingwen immediately pretended to know nothing. "Your Excellency, the Minister is highly respected. I would really like to receive your guidance. Lord Lin, please convey today's events. If Your Excellency has any opinions, I believe he will surely tell me during the court session."

Lin Cheng seemed to understand but not quite, and just said "oh".

The carriage dropped the person off at the entrance of Yuanlai Inn. Liu Jingwen jumped off the carriage and turned around to say to the person on board, "Thank you, Lord Lin, for bringing me back today. Lord Lin, take care."
