"By the way, was this marriage voluntary for you, or was it forced by Han Situ?" Lin Yu asked.
Although you have decided to cancel the engagement, you still need to figure out the specific situation, and different methods will be adopted in different situations.
Moreover, he always felt that his father's words were somewhat insincere.
After hearing Lin Yu's question, Lin Chengye remained silent.
Ning Yulan, who was on the side, hesitated for a while and then said, "Yu'er, Han Situ is nearly fifty, and taking Qin'er as his concubine is just to covet her beauty and will not give her happiness."
Seeing the performance of the two, Lin Yu understood that it must have been forced by the other party.
Of course, the other party was a high-ranking official of the Zhou Kingdom after all. He had to keep his appearance in order and could not come directly to force him to marry him. He must have used various means to make his father choose this only way.
Lin Yu didn't need to guess to know that under those methods, his father not only had to act proactively, but also had to act like he was making a lot of money.
The people in the capital would only think that this small wealthy businessman from the countryside was eager to curry favor with the great Situ, so he would marry his legitimate daughter as a concubine.
"Where's Xiaoqin? Call her over." Lin Yu said.
"Yeah." Lin Chengye immediately called the housekeeper and asked him to find Lin Qin.
After a while, Lin Qin came to the main room and shouted: "Brother."
Lin Yu looked at Lin Qin's face and knew that she was extremely resistant to the marriage.
After all, the status of a concubine is very low. Once she is married, she is just a childbearing tool, and the child she gives birth to will have to be called his wife or mother.
"Xiaoqin, brother is back. You don't have to marry that bad old man anymore. Brother will stand up for you."
Lin Yu comforted.
When Lin Qin heard this, she was so happy that she burst into tears, but then she worried again: "But...brother, that Han Situ is a high official."
"It's okay. If we want to talk about official positions, that brother is older than him, much older." Lin Yu said with a smile.
When Lin Chengye and Ning Yulan heard this, they both asked curiously: "Yu'er, what official position did you hold in the imperial court?"
"I don't have a specific official position. I can only tell you that I am now an innate warrior."
You cannot let others know about the Chiyang Sect, but you can let others know about the Innate Warriors.
The warriors in this world already know that there are innate warriors.
I've never seen one before, so I don't know what an innate warrior is like.
Lin Chengye nodded slowly and said: "Innate warrior? I think I heard someone talk about it? It is said that even the king will treat him with courtesy when he sees an innate warrior."
"But Yu'er? This is just a title for you? There is no specific official position. Is it really okay to offend Han Situ?"
Under the influence of serious official-oriented thinking? After all, Lin Chengye had difficulty understanding how high a warrior's status could be, or he felt that something was not right.
After all, coming to someone's home to break off the engagement? It's like slapping someone in the face.
Do you want to marry a girl? Then don't agree to it then. The marriage has already been arranged, and if you go back on it, where will you put other people's face?
"Don't worry? Nothing will happen." Lin Yu did not explain any more.
It's not that he doesn't want to make it clear? It's that he can't unless he tells the whole truth.
There are two reasons why the innate warrior can gain the attention of the noble family and why he has such a status.
First, the innate warrior is no longer a mortal? He is the same as a practitioner in the Qi Condensation Realm, and his combat power is not bad? It is much stronger than that in the Wuluo Realm.
Second, after an innate warrior learns yang internal skills, he will have yang true energy in his body and can refine yang weapons.
Putting Yang soldiers into the hands of ordinary warriors can give them the ability to deal with low-level monsters and ghosts. At least they will have no problem killing small monsters.
Especially now that the demons are invading? Their combat power is not enough, so they need to rely on the power of innate warriors.
But all this cannot be known to the world, so the high status of an innate warrior in this world cannot be explained to his parents. He can only prove it to them through actual actions.
Originally, Lin Yu wanted to take his father to see the monarch and let the monarch solve the Lin family's resettlement problem face to face.
But now that something like Han Situ has happened, it would be best to cause a big fuss.
After all, things like breaking off an engagement are most likely to be spread by word of mouth among ordinary people, and it will soon spread to everyone and even the monsters and ghosts will know about it.
On this issue, high-profile works better than low-profile.
Seeing Lin Yu's confident look, Lin Chengye thought for a while and decided to trust his son, so he didn't ask any more questions.
In the past, my son was indeed unreliable.
But since I fainted once, my whole person has changed, and I have become more and more measured in doing things.
For example, the last time I persuaded myself to cut off business dealings with the Chen family, the entire Chen family was wiped out.
When Lin Yu saw that his father was silent, he said, "Without further delay, I will go to the house now to cancel the marriage. I will have other things to arrange by then."
Lin Chengye could only nod and said: "Okay."
He still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
…
Situ Mansion.
Han Xuliang's study room.
"How is the investigation going on with the Lin family?"
Han Xuliang held a scroll in his hand, his eyes moved slowly on it, and asked the middle-aged man who was standing in front of his desk.
"Lord Situ is wise. The Lin family is so humble, but they have much more money than I thought. According to my investigation, their family has at least tens of millions of taels of gold, and it's all in cash."
The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
"Um?"
Hearing this answer, Han Xuliang couldn't help but put down the scripture in his hand and stared at the middle-aged man.
A fortune worth tens of millions of taels of gold, or cash in cash? What is the concept?
Normally, if a big family has tens of millions of gold, it must mean that the total value of all the family's properties is this much.
If you count all the fertile land, shops, restaurants, etc., plus the cash at home, you can have a fortune worth tens of millions of taels of gold.
As a result, the Lin family actually had tens of millions of taels of gold in cash alone.
Such shocking news made even Han Xuliang, the great Situ of the Zhou Kingdom, unable to calm down.
"This is good news!"
Han Xuliang nodded with satisfaction.
Then he asked: "Has the investigation into the eldest son of the Lin family been clear?"
The middle-aged man replied: "The investigation is clear. His eldest son has joined a martial arts sect called Chiyang Sect. That sect is located in the East China Sea Kingdom. It is small in scale and not worth mentioning."
What he didn't know was that there were two Chiyang Sects in the world, and the one he investigated was specifically used to deceive others.
The real Chiyang Sect is in the Song Dynasty.
After hearing this, Han Xuliang couldn't help but sneered: "This Lin Chengye really has no vision. With so much money in his family, he actually sent his son to practice martial arts. He is stupid, hopelessly stupid."
In this world, warriors have no status and are far inferior to scholars.
Han Xuliang really couldn't understand how the Lin family and his son could do such a stupid thing. He probably had something wrong with his mind.
"Since his family doesn't have any good background, then just do it with confidence and boldness. Don't worry too much. Do you understand?"
Han Xuliang ordered.
The middle-aged man accepted the order and said: "Yes, I understand that I will definitely make Lin Chengye obey like last time and take the initiative to send the money."
