Xian Yuqing looked arrogant and didn't take Lin Shilou seriously: "I know you want to marry your daughter to our Duke Xian's Mansion so that your Lin family can climb up the social ladder.

But I have met Miss Lin Er, she is dull and indifferent, not romantic at all, and really is not worthy of our Xian Guo Mansion."

Han Jiuxiao, who was on the second floor, heard Xian Yuqing's slander against Lin Shishi. He slammed the table in anger and wanted to go downstairs immediately to give him a good beating.

Bai was afraid that his appearance would disrupt the plan, so she could only calm him down first: "I'll have a chance to deal with him sooner or later, just sit here and watch."

Xian Yuqing continued, "Besides, I have already promised You Hua that I will not marry any other woman except her in this life, and you don't want your daughter to be alone after marrying here, so please ask Lord Lin to tell my father that we should just call it quits on the marriage."

The colleagues standing by were obviously shocked by these words and shook their heads at this dandy young man.

Officials who had daughters of marriageable age were also relieved at this time, fortunately they did not send their daughters into the fire pit.

At the same time, he cast a look of pity towards Lin Shilou, but more of it was ridicule. If he hadn't been greedy for the power of the Duke of Xian's Mansion, how could he have suffered the humiliation he suffered today?

He looked at the sarcasm in his colleagues' eyes and became even more furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "You, the Xian family kid, are really going too far. You are so ashamed to talk nonsense here. When did our Lin family discuss marriage with your Xian Guogong Mansion?

Besides, my daughter is well-educated, beautiful and intelligent, how can a playboy like you be worthy of her?"

These words directly denied that the Lin family and the Xian family were discussing marriage, thus preserving Lin Shishi's reputation.

Then Lin Shilou swung his sleeves and made a bold statement: "Even if the Xian Guogong Mansion is prominent, our Lin family will not be greedy for power and marry our daughter to your family."

After hearing this, Bai and Mu Yan smiled at each other. This was exactly what they had been waiting for.

Originally, they wanted Han Yunnan to go directly to Lin Shilou to propose marriage, but Lin Shilou was a selfish and cold-hearted person. Since he had agreed to the Xianguo Mansion, he would not risk offending the Xianguo Mansion and turn around to discuss marriage with the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

As for his daughter's happiness, he doesn't consider it at all.

That's why Mu Yan proposed this plan to make Lin Shilou give up his marriage with the Xian family on his own initiative.

At this time, Xian Chengshan, the Duke of Xian, also heard the news and rushed over. Hearing his son's outrageous remarks, he kicked Xian Yuqing and glared at him: "Are you crazy? How can you say such things in public? Why don't you apologize to Lord Lin?"

Xian Chengshan was very disappointed with his son. Originally, it was difficult to predict Xian Yuqing's marriage. Ever since the news of his violent nature spread, no woman was willing to discuss marriage with their Xian family.

We finally waited for the Lin family to agree, but now with such a commotion, not only will the Lin family no longer marry their daughter to us, even the petty officials will not consider marrying their daughters to us.

Lin Shilou snorted coldly: "Duke Xian, it's not necessary. Our Lin family is a small family and cannot compare to the Duke's Mansion. How dare we ask the third son of Xian to apologize to me.

As for the matter that the Third Master Xian is discussing marriage with my daughter, please ask Duke Xian to help our Lin family clarify it so as not to tarnish my daughter's reputation."

Xian Chengshan said quickly: "Well, well, Lord Lin, let's discuss this matter again."

But Lin Shilou refused outright, "I'll take my leave."

Although he really wanted to climb up the big tree of Xianguogong Mansion, he was at least a second-rank official of the court and he had to maintain his reputation.

Xian Yuqing's words today were simply stomping on his face. If he continued to flatter the Xian family and discuss marriage, he would be despised to death by his colleagues. How could he gain a foothold in the court in the future?

At the same time, the loyal and brave Marquis Han Zhen and Han Yunnan also rode out of the palace on horseback. When they saw Lin Shilou, they dismounted and greeted him familiarly.

"Master Lin."

"Master Lin."

Lin Shilou looked flattered and said, "It turns out to be Marquis Zhongyong and General Han."

Given Han Zhen and Han Yunnan's official positions, they would only dismount when seeing the royal family. This show of respect and humility really gave Lin Shilou great face, and his dignity, which had just been trampled on, was instantly picked up.

"I wonder why the Marquis and General Han called me to stop?"

Han Yunnan smiled awkwardly: "I want to thank Lord Lin for raising a good daughter."

Lin Shilou was confused by these words. How could everything that happened today be related to his daughter?

"General Han, please tell me clearly. Which daughter of mine are you talking about?"

Han Yunnan did not keep anyone in suspense and told the whole story in detail.

"That's the unmarried second daughter of the Lin family I just mentioned. My wife said she was nearly hit by a carriage on the street two days ago. Luckily, the second daughter of the Lin family pulled her back, but she accidentally sprained her ankle.

When I wanted to thank her, I found that she had already left. Later, after much inquiry, I learned that she was the second daughter of the Lin family. Miss Lin saved people in danger and did not reveal her name. She is truly a noble person. "

At this time, Han Zhenye couldn't help but praise: "Master Lin, you really teach your daughter well."

Of course, this incident was also written and directed by Mu Yan and others. They wanted to find an opportunity for this matter and to gain a good reputation for Lin Shishi.

When the officials nearby heard this, they came over to inquire about Miss Lin's age, date of birth, etc., hoping to find a marriage for a man of the right age in her family.

Lin Shilou's sense of superiority suddenly swelled up. He finally understood what it felt like to have a daughter who was sought after by hundreds of families.

"My Lord and General Han, you are too polite. I have taught my children since they were young that doing good deeds does not require leaving a name behind. Besides, this is just a piece of cake. How can you two praise me so much? It really humbles me."

Han Yunnan quickly pulled Lin Shilou aside to block the officials who were surrounding him and asking questions, fearing that his son's marriage would be taken advantage of by others.

"Master Lin, why don't we find a place to have a good chat."

How could Lin Shilou not understand the Han family's intentions at this time? He smiled and agreed immediately.

"Then why don't we go sit in the restaurant in front?"

"Good morning."

After seeing this, Xian Chengshan, who was standing by, gave Xian Yuqing a hard kick, saying that he was such a useless guy. He had ruined such a good marriage. But he could not blame others. It was his Xian family who was unreasonable first, which allowed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to intercept the marriage.

Even if this matter was brought before the Emperor, it would still be the Duke Xian's Mansion that was unreasonable first.

He looked at Xian Yuqing angrily and said through gritted teeth: "You want to marry this prostitute? Dream on!"

Then he said to his attendant beside him: "Cut off the Third Young Master's monthly allowance. I wonder how you will be able to go out and have fun in the future."

"father!"

Xian Yuqing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the furious Xian Chengshan: "If you still want to be called Xian, then shut up and reflect on yourself at home, otherwise get out of Duke Xian's mansion."

Xian Yuqing saw that his father was really angry, so he could only shut up.

The woman next to him glanced towards the second floor.
