The streets here were much more lively compared to the Lin family’s area. The vendors’ goods were dazzling, making my heart itch with desire. I turned back, wanting to persuade Lin Yan to get off the carriage and look around, and saw that she had just lowered the curtain. I said, “Cousin, Yan’er wants to buy something. You and Li Si can go to the restaurant first.”
Seeing her piercing gaze, I retracted my words and smiled, “Go ahead, hurry.”
“Mm.”
After Lin Yan got off, I pondered for a moment and patted the Mansion Strategist’s shoulder: “I’ll follow her.”
Jumping down from the carriage, I could no longer see Lin Yan’s figure. Following the direction she had disappeared, after walking a hundred steps, I saw her sitting in a teahouse, looking around.
Not long after, someone sat at the same table. Seeing the person’s face, I was quite surprised. Wasn’t this Rong You? What were they meeting for?
Lin Yan poured him a cup of tea and said, “Long time no see, Young Master Qin.”
Rong You seemed anxious, looking left and right, and said, “Miss Lin, please speak directly.”
Lin Yan paused: “Alright, I won’t beat around the bush. Do you still remember what you said before, that you would do your best to help me if I needed something?”
“Naturally.”
“Mm.” Lin Yan smiled, her eyes flashing with a cunning look, “I want you to propose marriage to my second sister.”
Rong You’s hand holding the cup trembled: “Why?
He immediately felt something was off and looked troubled, “Moreover, we have already withdrawn from an engagement with your family before. Going again now would likely not be accepted. Besides, I have no feelings for Lin’s second young lady.”
Lin Yan smiled: “Have the matchmaker go and say that you initially broke off this marriage because you had your eye on my second sister and would only marry her. As for whether you like her or not, that’s not my concern. Young Master Qin, you haven’t forgotten what you promised me before, have you? Are you going to go back on your word? I might as well tell my father.”
