Chapter 248: Prince Requests for Permission
Minister Lin was furious. He took a few deep breaths and looked at Lin Wannian without taking any action.
It wasn't that he was afraid of what she said, but he was really amused by Lin Wannian's words: "You, you... who do you think the Second Prince is? Can you marry him whenever you want and go wherever you want?"
"Didn't you resist till death in Xie's house? Now everyone in the palace knows about it."
"The Empress in the palace said that if you don't want to, you can cultivate your character in the Xie Mansion's nunnery for the rest of your life!"
"If you want, you can be a concubine at most!"
Minister Lin was so angry that his face turned extremely pale.
Looking at Lin Wannian, I wish I had never given birth to this daughter!
"Father, I am willing to marry the Second Prince."
Lin Wannian seemed to have made a great decision and said, "I've thought it through. I can't bring shame to my father or make my elder sister worry."
Minister Lin angrily said, "It's already embarrassing. Your eldest sister almost died. Don't you know?"
"If this gets out, what will happen to your sisters? You've completely disgraced the Lin family!"
Lin Wannian said coldly, "If we prosper together, we prosper together, and if we suffer together, Dad, if you want to save your reputation, you should think of a way. Before the palace's oral order comes down, have the Second Prince ask for permission to make me a concubine!"
"What are you talking about?"
Minister Lin looked as if he had heard a great joke: "Are you dreaming? In this situation, letting you be a concubine is giving you face!"
"Father, please let me see the Second Prince once. I want to see him in private."
Lin Wannian looked at Minister Lin with a burning gaze and said firmly, "My daughter has a way to make him change his mind."
"I won't trust you anymore!"
Minister Lin looked at Lin Wannian fiercely and said, "Just wait patiently. I'll find a day and send you over in a sedan chair."
Minister Lin's face was expressionless. "If you refuse, I'll have someone send you three feet of white silk. Either you die, or you're hung on the beams. It'll be a sign of your integrity!"
Minister Lin was too lazy to hit her. After saying this, he stood up and left.
He would never listen to his daughter again, nor would he care about her life or death!
Now I just feel regretful. I shouldn't have listened to her!
How could there be such mysterious things in the world?
Minister Lin left. No matter how Lin Wannian called out to him, he didn't even turn around.
Looking at him, there is absolutely no room for maneuver.
Lin Wannian fell to the ground and looked at the closed yard door.
Qiu'er was anxious at this moment and wanted to help Lin Wannian up: "Miss, Miss, what should we do now?"
Lin Wannian slowly stood up and said coldly, "There is still a way, there is still a way..."
It would be nice to see the Second Prince.
She now felt a little regretful in her heart. She shouldn't have been so impulsive just now at Xie's house!
She was thinking wrongly and was only focused on Lu Huaiyang.
I couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"All of you step back." Lin Wannian said coldly.
Qiu'er and the mother-in-law were worried: "Miss..."
"Go out, I have my own way." Lin Wannian said coldly.
Qiu'er and the old woman looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything else.
After everyone left, Lin Wannian lit a lamp, opened the window, and waited quietly.
In the early morning, a figure flashed by the window, and a young man stopped beside her swiftly.
"Aran...you're here?"
Lin Wannian took two steps forward and threw herself directly into the arms of the man in black.
The man's body stiffened for a moment, his exposed eyes flickered, and he looked at her in disbelief.
Then, Ah Ran slowly reached out and patted Lin Wannian's back: "It's okay, it's okay..."
Lin Wannian could feel Ah Ran's gentle voice and thought to herself, if it wasn't for the fact that it would take Ah Ran so long to return, perhaps Ah Ran would be her better choice!
No... Ah Ran would have to endure too much hardship if she went back, and it would take many years before she could return. By the time he ascended the throne of that small country, she would have been old and faded...
She can't wait, she can't wait!
I can only make use of Ah Ran as much as possible now...
Maybe it will become a help to her in the future.
"Aran, I was tricked today." Lin Wannian's tone was nasal, as if she was crying: "I am unwilling to accept this. I don't want to be the Second Prince's concubine..."
"Then... I'll take you away." Ah Ran paused for a moment and then spoke in a firm tone.
Lin Wannian gently let him go, looking at Ah Ran with tears in her eyes: "No, I can't leave. If I leave with you... your life will be ruined, and I can't leave either. Where can we go? I can't endure hardship. Can you bear to watch me sleep in the open with you, worried and afraid?"
Ah Ran was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Yes, she was spoiled and grew up in the boudoir.
How could she travel around the world like him? How could she bear the hardship?
"What can I do to help you?" Ah Ran looked at Lin Wannian and quickly gave up the idea of taking her away.
As long as she is happy, A Ran is willing to do anything!
Lin Wannian gritted her teeth and pulled out a letter from her sleeve: "Give this to the Second Prince."
Ah Ran took the envelope and clenched his fingers slightly: "What is it?"
"My letter to him."
Lin Wannian said, "Remember, you must hand it to the Second Prince and watch him open it with his own hands. Don't let anyone else see it."
A Ran originally wanted to ask what the content of the letter was, but when he saw Lin Wannian glaring at him with eyes full of hope, he couldn't bring himself to ask the question for a moment.
Ah Ran took a deep breath and put the letter in his arms: "I will do this tonight."
Lin Wannian breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there any news about that woman?"
Ah Ran nodded: "We haven't found her yet, but I heard... she's heading towards the capital. She should arrive there soon."
"It will be much easier to find it in the capital then."
Lin Wannian's brows darkened as she said to Ah Ran, "Then you better hurry up. You can't let Lu Huaiyang or Ye Nanyan run into her first!"
Ah Ran nodded: "Don't worry, all my power now is used to find the girl."
Lin Wannian nodded. Now Minister Lin would not help her.
This dad is the most snobbish.
He would never do anything that was not good for him...
"Ah Ran, go quickly." Lin Wannian patted his chest: "My future now depends entirely on you."
Ah Ran looked at her deeply, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."
As he spoke, his figure disappeared into Lin Wannian's boudoir.
The next day.
In the Second Prince's Mansion, after the Second Princess woke up, she asked the servant beside her: "Whose room did the master sleep in yesterday?"
The maid beside him said hurriedly, "The prince rested in his own yard yesterday and didn't go anywhere."
The Second Princess breathed a sigh of relief. "He's a bit sensible. By the way, where's he? I'll discuss with him which courtyard to place that little bitch in."
"When the person comes, I must have a good discussion with him."
"Princess, the prince...he...dressed in court robes, went to the palace to ask for permission!"
