Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Still not giving up, Lin Yu asked again, "Then, where is this place?"

Zhao Qiyan smiled, put the bowl aside, and said, "The Prince of Yan's residence."

He spoke each word clearly and deliberately, as if worried that Lin Yu might not hear him.

Lin Yu was so frightened that his legs went weak. He looked at the Prince of Yan and recalled how he had arrogantly demanded that the Prince serve him. His cheeks flushed red.

For a moment I didn't know how to face him, so I could only say:

"I want to go home."

Zhao Qiyan reached out and lifted his chin, a half-smile on her face: "Young master, are you going to deny it after you've already done your work?"

Lin Yu was forced to meet his gaze, his heart pounding. What? Denying it? How was he supposed to admit it?

Lin Yu spoke faster than he thought, saying, "I've paid the money, and I won't go back on my word."

Zhao Qiyan burst out laughing: "So, you're mistaking me for some so-called courtesan?"

"No, I didn't know you were... and, and, it was clearly you who initiated it, last night..."

Lin Yu couldn't say those things, but he felt he had been taken advantage of, as he hadn't even asked Zhao Qiyan for compensation.

"Last night? Didn't you have enough fun last night, young master?"

Zhao Qiyan's voice was slightly seductive, and Lin Yu nodded subconsciously: "That's enough."

Last night, whether it was the beginning or the end... Lin Yu had to admit, he was indeed quite...

No, what is he saying? This is His Highness the Prince of Yan.

Zhao Qiyan walked to the bedside, squatted down, looked him in the eye, and said, word by word:

"In that case, young master, you should take even more responsibility. You are my first time."

Lin Yu looked completely bewildered: "What?"

Zhao Qiyan said seriously, "Marry me, or I will imprison you in the palace. You choose one."

Lin Yu understood; the Prince of Yan wanted to imprison him.

She shook her head anxiously: "No, I want to go home. My eldest brother will definitely be looking for me, and my second brother is His Highness Prince Yu's man. You can't imprison me."

Zhao Qiyan nodded and smiled, "Then take that as your agreement. I will go to the General's Mansion to propose marriage in a few days."

"Propose marriage?"

Lin Yu said in disbelief, "I'm a man."

Zhao Qiyan: "Mm."

Lin Yu: "His Majesty and Consort Shu will not agree. Your Highness, please let me go home."

Knowing that he was the Prince of Yan, Lin Yu dared not curse anymore and tried to reason with him.

"So you're not going to take responsibility?"

Zhao Qiyan's eyebrows suddenly drooped, and her face showed a lonely expression.

"That's true. How could you possibly accept a monster like me who likes men?"

Lin Yu felt a little guilty, but still immediately said, "Liking men isn't a monster. My second brother likes His Highness Prince Yu, and neither of them are monsters."

Zhao Qiyan wasn't happy because of those words; he forced a smile.

"Let's go back in a few days. I'll feel more at ease if I rest here for a few days."

He left carrying the empty bowl, his back view looking pitiful no matter how you looked at him.

Based on what was just said, this Prince Yan likes men, and it seems that he wants to marry me.

Lin Yu had never thought about getting married, nor had he ever imagined the scene of his own wedding.

No, all I can think about is the scene of Akahoshi's wedding. If Akahoshi were to get married like this, it doesn't seem so bad.

No, no, what is he thinking? That's His Highness the Prince of Yan.

Chixing, far away in Jiangnan, found 250's report quite interesting.

[Lin Yu just settled down at the Prince of Yan's residence? Isn't his elder brother looking for him?]

250: [The elder brother was unaware that Lin Yu had sneaked out in the middle of the night, and that he had to leave the general's mansion for a few days the next day due to an urgent matter at the military camp.]

In other words, Lin Yu was in a state of utter despair at this moment.

Not entirely. He was very carefree, eating and drinking as usual, completely oblivious to his imprisonment.

Akashi clicked his tongue twice: [I didn't expect this Prince Yan to have such a tendency towards forced love, it's just...]

250 chimed in: "[She's just too gentle. Lin Yu, this little otaku, has no idea he's being forced.]"

These two are a perfect match. Lin Yu stayed at the Prince's Mansion for nearly seven days. Besides eating, drinking, and strolling around the mansion, he also took a fishing rod made by someone else to fish in the pond.

Seeing her leisurely demeanor by the lotus pond, Zhao Qiyan became even more certain of her feelings.

After exploring Jiangnan, Chi Xing and Zhao Qiyu traveled to other cities, heading south to experience the local customs and culture.

When they returned to the capital, new gossip emerged.

The most eye-catching event was the marriage alliance between the Prince of Yan and General Lin's family.

Some people wondered, "Doesn't the General's Mansion only have those few sons? How can they arrange a marriage?"

The person next to him replied, "You don't understand. His Highness Prince Yan doesn't like girls."

"What is it? Tell me quickly."

"The man who wants to marry him is the young master of the General's Mansion, but I just saw that the Prince of Yan was kicked out, which means that General Lin is not happy about it."

The items were thrown out one by one. This was the first time Zhao Qiyan had been treated so unwelcomely. He didn't say anything and silently picked up the things that had been thrown out.

Lin Yu had just been picked up by Lin Feng a few days ago, and his head was still spinning.

One moment he thought that without Zhao Qiyan around, he finally calmed down, and the next he thought, "Brother is really bold. He just drove the Prince of Yan out like that. Isn't he afraid of the other party's anger?"

Through the crack in the gate, Lin Yu watched the somewhat dejected figure of the Prince of Yan, bent down to pick up the things on the ground, and found that the purse he had given him that day was still hanging from his waist.

His mind was filled with the image of Zhao Qiyan humbly asking him, "Young Master, won't you take responsibility?"

Lin Yu slowly placed his hand on his chest.

"Why are you looking at him? Do you really want to marry him?" Lin Feng's voice suddenly came from behind.

Lin Yu touched his nose: "Who, who said that? I was just checking to see if he was gone."

"Then hurry back to your own yard! If this happens again, see if I'll still care about you."

Lin Feng had no idea how his younger brother had been abducted to the Prince of Yan's mansion when he had only been gone for a few days.

Seeing that Lin Yu seemed distracted whenever he talked about His Highness the Prince of Yan, he sighed silently in his heart.

The Prince of Yan would visit the General's Mansion every few days, and they couldn't very well refuse him entry.

When the news spread throughout the capital, everyone speculated that Young Master Lin would certainly not agree.

Some speculate that the Prince of Yan's interest was merely a passing fancy and that he would forget about Lin Yu in a few days.

Chi Xing and Zhao Qiyu returned to the capital and visited the Lin family with gifts.

This time, Chixing finally saw Zhao Qiyan. Putting aside the fact that she was a courtesan, she was indeed handsome and dashing. No wonder Lin Yu fell for her at first sight.

With Prince Yu present, Lin Feng did not send anyone away again.

Lin Yu's gaze kept unconsciously drifting towards Zhao Qiyan over there.

He brought a lot of gifts again this time, all of which were things Lin Yu liked.

Lin Feng frowned as he watched. His younger brother's eyes were practically glued to the Prince of Yan, so what was there not to understand?
