Chapter 2973 Forced Marriage (21)

The unpleasant mood suddenly became wonderful.

After sitting for a long time, the blood in my numb feet seemed to suddenly become smoother and smoother.

"Then just now, my uncle said he had to go back and make up for it—"

"Excuse." He leaned against the carriage, calm and collected.

Qi Lin suddenly felt relieved, "Thank you, uncle!"

That particularly difficult half-day was not in vain.

"Uncle, where have you been just now? Do you have something to discuss with Mr. Yun?" he asked curiously.

Is it possible that it is such a big deal that we can negotiate for so long?

"..." Pei Tingwen looked calm, "It's not that important, it's just some casual conversation."

"After all, you are about to get engaged to a girl, so it would be good for you to move around more between the in-laws. Your mother's efforts will not be in vain."

Qi Lin nodded in understanding.

He spoke in general terms, but as he listened, he only knew roughly that he needed to have more contact with the Yun family.

Originally it was just his grandma's idea, but now, his uncle agrees and even seems to be particularly supportive.

The wheels of the carriage were still turning gurglingly, moving forward steadily.

Qi Lin thought for a while and asked: "Uncle, do you also believe what Si Tianjian said? Before that, didn't you say that everything depends on man-made things and not on God's decision? How..."

Suddenly I believe it again and support it?

Pei Tingwen paused and said, "I don't believe it."

Those nonsense talkers who claim to be able to receive oracles always pretend to be mysterious and cannot reveal their secrets, babbling and pretending to be mysterious.

There are so many predictions every year, but few of them come true.

It was just an accident, a blind cat met a dead mouse, so naturally he didn't believe it.

As for this time...

He glanced away from the carriage window, his eyes darkened slightly, "It's just some extra things that need to be dealt with. I won't get involved in the affairs between you and Miss Yun."

"If you really don't like it, you'd better mention it to your mother-in-law earlier. Otherwise, it won't work if you really have to wait until the engagement to show off."

After all, Yun Linfeng was also the neutral faction they had been trying to win over, and he had a certain weight among the civil servants in the court.

Although the Pei family is powerful and can suppress them with violence, if they want Qi Lin to legitimately inherit the throne and ascend to a position above ten thousand people, it would be better if they can win over the neutral faction.

This was also the reason why they proposed to get engaged with the Yun family. Si Tianjian's words were secondary, and the consideration of the situation in the DPRK was the most important.

To put it clearly in one sentence - the Pei family does not want to be an enemy of the neutral faction headed by the Yun family.

It's best to be an in-law, but if you can't, don't lose your temper and become an enemy.

Otherwise, it will give others an advantage.

Pei Tingwen sat back on the carriage and lowered his eyes: "We have met a few times, what do you think of the big girl?"

The fourth prince, who was still young, shook his head, "She is pretty good, but I don't have any feelings for her. I can't say I like her, nor can I say I hate her."

"But Aniang said that if you don't have feelings, you can just cultivate her more. If you really don't like her, just marry her and raise her well. You won't be short of the extra food."

He is obedient and knows that his mother-in-law and his uncle are doing it for his own good and will not give him a girl for no reason.

So, even though I didn’t feel anything, I was still willing to do it.

"Besides... the third brother is going to marry the second girl, so I can't fall behind, right?"

He said seriously, "I have to surpass him and not fall behind."

"..." Pei Tingwen raised his eyes slightly, his eyes dark, "Third Prince..."
