Chapter 190 Let Brother Mo marry me with his dowry

Mo Ziyuan arrived quickly, and Fu Jing had already been settled in a guest room by Meng Yixuan. Meng Yixuan also asked Cui Shi to come and treat his injuries. When Mo Ziyuan arrived, Cui Shi was cleaning his wounds.

"You got beaten up? Did your dad do it?" Mo Ziyuan peered at the gruesome wound on his back and stabbed him in the lung.

Fu Jing smiled bitterly, enduring the sharp pain in his back as he replied, "That's right, ouch~ it's all because of you. I'm already in such a miserable state, and you still—ouch~ you don't even give me a kind look..."

"What does it have to do with me if your dad hits you? Don't try to scam me here!" Mo Ziyuan said disdainfully, moving a chair to the side.

"Alright, Ziyuan, stop provoking him. We called you here for something important." Meng Yichen saw that although Mo Ziyuan seemed very disgusted, the worry and disappointment in his eyes were very obvious. He knew that most of the knot in his heart had been untied. The rest was Fu Jing's attitude towards Lin Xin.

"What important matter is it?" Mo Ziyuan had a feeling that what they were going to talk about was probably related to the beating Fu Jing had received.

“My father plans to have Fu Qing marry you as a concubine. I can’t stop him. I estimate my mother will soon go to the Duchess of Dingguo. What do you think we should do?” Fu Jing bluntly laid out the whole story.

"No way!" Mo Ziyuan was genuinely shocked. "Didn't Fu Qing tell you that I was at Shixiang Pavilion when she went back? She was already with the heir of Zhaoyang Marquis, and she still wants to marry me? Has this woman gone mad?" Mo Ziyuan felt nothing but disgust whenever he mentioned Fu Qing.

“You don’t know how important the title of the Duchess of Dingguo’s wife is to the Fu family. All they want is for Fu Qing to enter your family. As for what her life will be like in the future, my father and the others have probably already made the worst-case scenario plan. My mother has probably already taught Fu Qing a lot of ways to survive in the backyard.” Fu Jing said with a helpless expression.

“I will not agree,” Mo Ziyuan said firmly.

"Don't forget, your family also has the Duchess of Dingguo, who is eyeing the position of heir apparent! If the Fu family offers enough benefits, it's not impossible for them to sell you off," Meng Yixuan reminded him.

Mo Ziyuan's face turned extremely ugly. He stood up abruptly and gave Fu Jing and Meng Yixuan a deep bow. "Thank you for reminding me about this matter. I won't say anything else. Fu Jing, take good care of your injuries. I'll be leaving now."

Watching his hurried departure, Fu Jing twitched his lips. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt Cui Shi, who was bandaging him, suddenly tighten his grip, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Old Cui, be gentle," Meng Yixuan quickly said to Cui Shi.

Cui Shi snorted, lifted his eyelids but didn't say anything, but his hands didn't slow down at all.

Fu Jing felt extremely wronged by this undeserved calamity and couldn't help but say, "Old Cui, I didn't cause this. Your anger is a bit unreasonable!"

Cui Shi snorted, "You said it yourself, it's displaced anger. I'll ask you, when have you ever seen displaced anger done with reason?"

Fu Jing was speechless.

Meng Yixuan coughed lightly, pressing his fist to his lips, and changed the subject, saying, "I wonder how Ziyuan will handle this."

"Hmph!" Cui Shi glared at Fu Jing with a disdainful look. "If you ask me, one dose of medicine will solve the problem once and for all."

Fu Jing: "..."

Meng Yixuan: "..."

After leaving the Meng family, Mo Ziyuan went directly to Lin Xin's house and repeated Fu Jing's words to her without missing a single one. Finally, he said, "Xin'er, I want to go to the palace and ask His Majesty to grant us a marriage. Are you... are you willing?"

Lin Xin frowned. "Your family..." "You don't need to worry about them. I'll move out of the Duke's mansion after the imperial decree for the marriage is issued. I said I wouldn't let you suffer any injustice..." His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, and he himself felt that he was not convincing at all.

How could she not be wronged? After all this, Xin'er's reputation will definitely be ruined. She will be labeled as a "shrew" and "disrespectful to her in-laws" one after another. He didn't even dare to imagine how much malice she would suffer at that time.

“Didn’t you say the Emperor wanted to make me a princess? Then let’s bestow you upon me in marriage. I can use my merit in raising the prince to exchange for you.” Lin Xin’s answer made Mo Ziyuan’s eyes light up. He seemed to have instantly returned from the cold snow-capped mountain peak to the warm plains. His invisible tail was wagging so hard that it left afterimages.

"Really? Xin'er, you agree to let me ask His Majesty to grant us a marriage?"

"Okay, I agree." Lin Xin nodded. Since she liked this person, she wanted to give each other a chance.

"Okay, okay, I'm going right now. Wait for my good news!" After saying that, Mo Ziyuan jumped up and ran towards the door. He almost bumped into Lin Nan, who was about to enter the house. He dodged Lin Nan's small body and disappeared in a flash.

"Brother Mo, where have you been?" Lin asked, patting his wildly beating heart.

"He has an urgent matter to attend to and needs to go out for a while," Lin Xin replied vaguely.

"What's the rush?" Lin Nan asked curiously. She walked up to Lin Xin, looked up at her, and wanted to ask more, but suddenly noticed that her older sister's face was flushed. Startled, she immediately lost all curiosity and asked anxiously, "Sis, are you feeling unwell? Do you have a fever? Otherwise, why is your face so red?"

"What's wrong with you? Don't touch me like that!" Lin Xin dodged Lin Nan's hand that was about to touch her forehead, and then tickled him twice under the armpits. Lin Nan immediately laughed and curled up into a little ball; he was ticklish!
"Nannan, I have a question for you." After the siblings had been playing around for a while and quieted down, Lin Xin gently pulled Lin Nan into her arms and said.

"You ask."

"How about I find you a brother-in-law?"

"Find me a brother-in-law? Don't you want Brother Mo anymore?" Lin Nan turned to look at her and asked.

"You want your brother Mo to be your brother-in-law?"

"Hmm~" Lin Nan tilted her head. "Whether I want to or not doesn't matter! As long as you want to, I'll support you no matter who you choose!"

"You little devil!" Lin Xin flicked his nose.

"Sis, are you really getting married?"

"It won't be that fast. We'll just choose a person first. We don't know when we'll get married yet!" Lin Xin didn't treat Lin Nan like a child.

"What about me? Will my sister take me with her?" Lin Nan asked softly, her eyes filled with a worry that made Lin Xin's heart ache.

"Silly boy! You're my brother, of course I'll take you with me!"

“But aren’t you getting married? What kind of woman brings her younger brother into her husband’s house as part of her dowry?”

"Pfft," Lin Xin was amused by his choice of words. After laughing enough, she asked him, "Then how about letting your Brother Mo marry me with his dowry? What do you think?"

Lin Nan's jaw dropped.
