I have called off the engagement with Jiang Han!
Now, if my Lin family takes action and seeks to reconcile with Jiang Han, what face will I have left? What face will my Lin family have? Lin Qingyue questioned her elder brother in indignation.
Who would have thought that Lin Mingyue would mutter, "Sister, face is not important. You are still Jiang Han's fiancée here. Even if you re-establish the engagement, you can always say that it was just a quarrel between you two, and it’s all about interests."
Che Chengyun was introduced to you by brother. At first glance, he is a Crown Prince, powerful and influential! Moreover, Che Chengyun is the legitimate son of the Langya Prince, with hopes of inheriting the throne!
However, looking at it now, this prince has lost to Jiang Han several times. Brother feels that he is not as impressive as he seems and may not really inherit the throne; that is a possibility for the future. Marrying Jiang Han would be a real advantage!
Whether it’s Che Chengyun or Jiang Han, Lin Mingyue believes they are merely options to choose from—whoever is better is who to choose.
Lin Qingyue looked at her brother in astonishment, not expecting her most respected third brother to treat her like a commodity, first offering her to Che Chengyun and then wanting her to marry Jiang Han again. How shameless!
"Sister, if you can't bear to lose face! Worried about offending Che Chengyun? I have a plan," Lin Mingyue continued. "I will immediately send out a large number of warriors to capture Jiang Han. You and Jiang Han will consummate your marriage. By then, if you have Jiang Han's child, I don’t believe he would abandon you. At that point, Che Chengyun will have no connection with you whatsoever!"
In this way, although we offend Che Chengyun and the Langya Wangfu, we would be offending them because of Jiang Han anyway. If we want Jiang Han's Compressed Biscuit supplies, we can only do it this way. Besides, by doing so, we can also use Lingnan King as our backing. Don’t you think? If you have Jiang Han's child, I as your uncle would also be happy.
Lin Mingyue spoke seriously.
Lin Qingyue was so furious that she swung her sword fiercely, slicing through Lin Mingyue's crown and cutting off a large portion of her hair. She looked at Lin Mingyue lying on the ground and pointed her sword at her. "If you continue with such shamelessness, I will no longer consider our sibling bond!"
"Sister! Think carefully! If we can obtain Jiang Han's Compressed Biscuit military supplies, their effectiveness could increase tenfold! You would be in command of five Wan Dajun; even if we were to hold our ground, we could wear down two or three dozen Wan Dajun or even more troops!"
Lin Mingyue spat as she struggled to explain. "Between Che Chengyun and Jiang Han, you should definitely choose Jiang Han! Sister, think about yourself and also think about the family! You only called off the engagement with Jiang Han; although it’s humiliating for him, if you kneel before him in public..."
"Jiang Han is bound to soften his heart; after all, he didn’t get angry when you called off the engagement initially. As long as you apologize, there’s still a chance!"
At that time, relying on Jiang Han's support, Father might just be able to rely on the title of King of War. Even if that doesn't work out, you could still become a king!
Within the court, there was no position for a first-class general; the title of Grand General was merely an empty honor. However, those who were typically granted the title of Grand General would manage several commanders, each commanding at least twenty thousand troops!
Lin Mingyue felt that if her sister could return and kneel down to apologize to Jiang Han, perhaps Jiang Han would reconsider. With such legendary military provisions from the Lin family, why should they fear the Langya Prince?
"Third Brother, you truly are my good Third Brother!"
"Go ahead!" Lin Qingyue said despondently, waving her hand for Lin Mingyue to leave.
Before this, she had never imagined that her Third Brother, whom she had grown up with, would say such things for the sake of power and status. He even wanted her to kneel before Jiang Han—the very man she had rejected in marriage—to beg for his forgiveness. It was utterly absurd.
Even though she desperately wanted the Compressed Biscuit, kneeling down to apologize to Jiang Han? She might as well take a sword and end her own life!
Lin Mingyue stumbled to her feet, fearing that her sister might strike her down. She hurried away, but her mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of Jiang Han's Compressed Biscuit.
"What did you say? Arrange for someone from the Lin family to report back!"
Lin Mingyue persuaded Lin Qingyue to withdraw their engagement and seek out Jiang Han to kneel and apologize.
Che Chengyun felt dizzy upon hearing his subordinate's report and muttered to himself, "The Lin family is so pragmatic?"
He liked Lin Qingyue, which was why he had been so excited when Lin Mingyue introduced her to him. He had even given Lin Mingyue a substantial amount of wealth. Yet now, he found it unbelievable that Lin Mingyue, his brother-in-law and matchmaker, would turn against him just because Jiang Han had released the Compressed Biscuit!
As an heir, am I not worth as much as a single military provision?
Lin Mingyue truly does not regard me as a person!
Che Chengyun muttered in shock and then felt insulted!
As he looked at the subordinate who had come to report, just as he was about to speak, Xu Yao interjected cautiously: "Your Highness, if Lin Qingyue really goes back to find Jiang Han and kneels down to apologize, given Jiang Han's temperament, he might just agree. If those two reconcile, then I would become the laughingstock of the world!"
As the esteemed Heir of Langya, Che Chengyun found himself in a precarious situation. He had set his sights on the fiancée of a merchant, leading to the cancellation of their engagement. To his dismay, this very fiancée had cast him aside and returned to the merchant. If word got out, it would be utterly humiliating for him, and he feared he would never be considered for the position of the next Langya Prince.
If his father were to learn of this, he would undoubtedly deem him a complete failure. There were whispers that someone from the Lin family was lurking about, tasked with keeping a close watch on Lin Qingyue's movements. If she were to seek out Jiang Han, he demanded to be informed immediately. Che Chengyun issued this order with utmost seriousness.
This was no longer just a matter of military supplies; it was about his future and the reputation of the Langya Wangfu. He could be certain that if his father discovered this scandal, he would not lift a finger to stop Lin Qingyue. The situation would only worsen if it were exposed by someone from Lingnan King’s camp; that would be an even greater disgrace, leaving his father with no face to show.
Thus, it was imperative that his father remained oblivious to this affair. Moreover, even if his father did find out, it would only serve to deepen his disdain for him. Che Chengyun knew he had to do everything in his power to prevent this from happening.
"I want Lin Manor prepared!" he commanded.
Unable to restrain himself any longer, Che Chengyun resolved to confront Lin Qingyue personally, fearing she might not withstand the verbal onslaught from Lin Mingyue.
