The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

"Really?" Mrs. Lin's face lit up with joy. "That's great! What kind of person is he?"

"He's the third place winner of this year's imperial examination. He's knowledgeable and gentle, a rare talent," Lin Wanqing said. "Furthermore, his family is poor and can't afford to marry. If we take him as our son-in-law, we can also help him out."

After Lin Wanqing finished speaking, he looked at Lin Wan'er nervously, fearing that she would disagree.

She knew that Lin Wan'er was proud and arrogant, and was afraid that she would look down on the person she chose.

"Everything is up to my aunt and cousin." Lin Wan'er said with her head lowered.

Although she wanted to marry the person she loved, that person was of low status and she didn't want to bring trouble to her family.

Therefore, she was willing to obey the family's arrangements and marry someone who would be beneficial to the family.

"Wan'er, are you really willing?" Lin Wanqing confirmed again.

"I'm willing." Lin Wan'er nodded.

"Okay!" Lin Wanqing said happily, "Then I'll arrange a meeting for you now!"

"Cousin..." Lin Wan'er's face turned even redder when she heard that. She bit her lower lip tightly, as if she wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wanqing asked doubtfully, "Are you regretting it?"

"No, no." Lin Wan'er quickly waved her hands and said, "Wan'er is just a little nervous."

"Haha, it's okay." Lin Wanqing said with a smile, "You're about to meet your future husband, so it's inevitable to be nervous. But don't worry, he will definitely treat you well."

"Yeah." Lin Wan'er replied with her head lowered.

"Okay, it's getting late." Lin Wanqing said, "I'll go arrange a meeting for you two."

"Okay." Lin Wan'er nodded.

She nervously twisted the handkerchief in her hand, feeling both anticipation and fear.

What I am looking forward to is what my future husband will look like, and what I am afraid of is what will happen if I cannot adapt to married life.

Just as Lin Wan'er was daydreaming, Lin Wanqing had already arranged everything.

"Wan'er, come with me." Lin Wanqing said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er took a deep breath and followed Lin Wanqing out.

She knew her life was about to change, and no matter what the outcome, she would face it bravely.

Lin Wan'er followed Lin Wanqing to an elegant courtyard.

The yard is full of various flowers and plants, emitting a faint floral fragrance.

Lin Wan'er took a deep breath, and her nervous mood was relieved a little.

Just then, a man walked out of the house.

He was wearing a green robe, had a slender figure, a handsome face and a gentle temperament.

"Wan'er greets the third place winner." Lin Wan'er bowed slightly and saluted.

"Miss Lin, there's no need to be so polite," Tanhua Lang said with a smile, "Please take a seat."

The third place winner was named Wei Chen. He poured tea for Lin Wan'er while looking her over.

When he saw Lin Wan'er's stunning beauty, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he soon regained his composure. Lin Wan'er was the princess's cousin and not someone he could covet.

"I heard from Miss Lin that she wants to find a husband to marry into her family?" Wei Chen asked.

He wanted to know what Lin Wan'er was thinking so that he could deal with it better.

"Yes." Lin Wan'er replied with her head lowered.

She didn't dare look into Wei Chen's eyes, for fear that he would discover her thoughts.

"Then... Miss Lin, what do you think of me?" Wei Chen asked tentatively.

"Ah?" Lin Wan'er suddenly raised her head and looked at him. "Tan-Tanhualang, what did you say?"

"I say, what do you think of me?" Wei Chen repeated, "If Miss Lin doesn't mind, I'm willing to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion and become Miss Lin's husband."

"This..." When Lin Wan'er heard this, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

She didn't expect Wei Chen to express his feelings so directly and directly, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

"Wan'er, what do you think?" Lin Wanqing asked when he saw Lin Wan'er was hesitant.

She could see that Wei Chen was a good man and was more than suitable for Lin Wan'er.

More importantly, Lin Wan'er didn't seem to dislike Wei Chen.

"I..." Lin Wan'er bit her lower lip tightly, as if she was having a fierce ideological struggle.

"Wan'er, don't feel any burden." Lin Wanqing said, "Marriage is a big matter. You can take your time to think about it. If you don't want to, my aunt and I won't force you."

"No." Lin Wan'er shook her head. "I'm willing to give it a try."

She knew she couldn't keep running away, and besides, she didn't have a bad impression of Wei Chen.

So, she was willing to give each other a chance and try to get along with him.

"Really?" Wei Chen's face lit up with joy when he heard that. "That's great! Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well and won't let you suffer the slightest injustice!"

"Yeah." Lin Wan'er nodded slightly.

She believed in Lin Wanqing's vision and her own feelings.

"In that case, I'll go back and prepare the betrothal gifts now," Wei Chen said. "I'll come back to visit my aunt and cousin in three days."

"Okay." Lin Wanqing nodded, "We'll wait for you."

Wei Chen spoke to Lin Wan'er for a few more words before reluctantly leaving.

After he returned home, he immediately began to prepare the betrothal gifts.

Although Lin Wan'er's parents died, Wei Chen did not look down on her.

He prepared a generous betrothal gift and planned to write three letters and six engagements to marry her in a formal ceremony.

Lin Wan'er was deeply moved by Wei Chen's actions.

She felt that she had chosen the right person.

"Wan'er, what do you think of Wei Chen?" Lin Wanqing asked when he saw Lin Wan'er was in a daze.

"He... is very good." Lin Wan'er said with a blushing face.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Lin Wanqing said with a smile, "After you get married, you must live a good life."

"Yeah." Lin Wan'er nodded.

While Wei Chen was preparing the betrothal gifts, Lin Wanqing took Lin Wan'er to look at wedding dresses.

They came to the largest embroidery shop in the capital, and as soon as they entered, they saw all kinds of brightly colored wedding dresses.

Lin Wan'er looked at these wedding dresses, and an indescribable shame and a hint of anticipation surged in her heart.

"Wan'er, which one do you like?" Lin Wanqing asked, pointing at the wedding dress.

"I..." Lin Wan'er blushed and lowered her head. "Cousin, I will follow your arrangements in everything."

"Alas, it's time for you to learn to make your own decisions." Lin Wanqing sighed, "After all, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Wei family in the future."

"Cousin..." Lin Wan'er felt a lump in her throat when she heard that and she almost burst into tears.

Just as the two were talking, there was the sound of footsteps, followed by a burst of shrill laughter.

"Hey, isn't this the cousin from the Lin family? Why are you here to choose a wedding dress too?"

Lin Wan'er looked up and saw a group of gorgeously dressed young ladies walking towards her, led by a woman in a bright red dress.

There was a look of contempt on her face and a glint of gloating in her eyes.
