Hearing Su Xinyu's earnest words, Shangguan Lin was stunned for a moment, but afterwards, his heart was in ecstasy. "He was holding onto Su Xinyu's hand from the start, but now, he is holding onto it even more tightly." I can do it! I promise I won't take a concubine and play games with anyone. You're the only one in my life! "

Receiving the answer, Su Xinyu shook his head: "It's not that I don't trust you. But you can't make your own decisions. Even if you don't care about me or what others say, your family will always care. Fortunately, I am still young, and we can't talk about marriage. Forget it. Good friends are good, too. I never thought of getting married. "

Shangguan Lin found it hard to accept, "Why do you think that? Is it because of your father? He was not a responsible man. I am different from him. I know you and I believe you, and I won't do anything that would hurt you. I know there are things I haven't told you, and I have nothing to say if you don't believe me. However, if I were to join you one day, I will let everyone know that I am able to become the pair you mentioned. Would you be willing to marry me? "

Su Xinyu frowned slightly, "Ling Ge, I think... You really don't have to do so much for me. Your situation in the family has not been easy. It would be my sin to make your family worse for you for my sake. Furthermore … Although I don't know how high your position is, but it must be above everyone else. For a person of such background, my request is truly too difficult. I don't want you to think of me in the future and think of me as a nuisance, a person who demands a lot. "

Shangguan Lin shook his head. What you say is what I think. If it weren't for my father's many wives and concubines … How could our brothers in our family be so self-centered … Well, I know what I'm saying is a piece of cake. Xinyu, since you said that you have never thought about marriage and that we like each other, you must remember to wait for me. I will reassure you and then I will marry you back. And I promise, even if you marry me, you can still do what you like. Your restaurant, your craftsmanship, all your thoughts will not become empty talk. "Is that good?"

Su Xinyu looked at Shangguan Lin, and rationally told herself that although these words were pleasant to listen to, and that she believed that Shangguan Lin's words were from the bottom of her heart, she had no choice but to say that every single person had all kinds of unrealistic fantasies and oaths when they were young. Not all oaths come true, and not all fantasies come true.

But Su Xinyu was still willing to wait. It didn't seem like much of a sacrifice to her. But as long as she nodded, it would be equivalent to handing over her feelings and expectations. If Shangguan Lin was unable to do so in the future, compared to her previous expectations, she would be disappointed and injured. However, if she did not respond, even if she did not disappoint her in the future, it would be a form of harm to Shangguan Lin's current sincere heart.

In her previous life, she had lived for nearly thirty years, so she had enough reason to judge this matter. But in the end, feelings still triumphed over reason. "She nodded." Good. I'll wait for you. But if you can't hold on, you can't keep your promise. Also do not deceive, want to tell me in full detail. I won't make things difficult for you. Even if I didn't want to get married, I couldn't wait endlessly for an answer. I don't want to wear down my expectations and appreciation of you. If so. I'd rather we stay where we are. "

That night, the two of them had a conversation that revealed each other's feelings. However, the two who loved each other only felt their hearts aching, and the blockage was extremely uncomfortable.

After Shangguan Lin returned to the courtyard that he had arranged for him, Su Xinyu quickly locked her room door and returned to her space. "I feel much more comfortable soaking in a hot spring." "Sigh …" In the end, she was still unable to win this battle. Su Xinyu looked at the sky, feeling confused.

Shangguan Lin did not sleep that night either. While Su Xinyu was bathing in the hot spring, he would sit in the courtyard and look at the stars and moon in the sky. Three to nine days, her Haian City was seventy percent colder than the Ten Thousand Blessings, but at this moment, he could not feel any sort of cool sensation. He knew that she had recklessly failed to control herself and had spoken the truth. But he was also glad that she could not hold it in today. Otherwise, he would not have known of Su Xinyu's request so quickly. If she really waited until Fourth Brother was at peace, then she would know about this little girl's request after she obtained the position of prince. There were probably a lot of things that were impossible for him to meet her requirements.

Right now, he could easily deal with his concubine by his side. He had never seen her in the first place. As long as he sent her away, he would pay her a sum of money. But when he became a prince, no matter if it was his mother concubine or the Royal Brother, or the people from the that wanted to curry favor with him, there would be countless people wanting to be by his side. Fortunately, he still had time to deal with these troublesome matters.

And similarly, Hu Ya and Su Mei were also sleepless the entire night. The two of them were together tonight, chatting about the Young Master and the "cousin young master". The two of them heaved a sigh of relief when cousin young master left his young miss' room. But when they got back to the room, they couldn't sleep. He kept having the feeling that the conversation between the two of them wouldn't be so easy after seeing cousin young master's solemn expression.

No matter what happened, it was New Year's Eve the next day. Everyone was infected by the festive atmosphere early in the morning. Su Xinyu was not one to drag his feet. Since she had already promised Wen Ling, she wouldn't be too conflicted about whether she should or not. When Shangguan Lin saw that Su Xinyu had recovered to normal, and was still smiling and talking to him, but her smile was even more sweet, he became even more determined. After she returns this time, he will definitely ask the Fourth Brother to agree to his marriage. As for her mufei, he believed that as long as she did not obstruct Fourth Brother from taking the throne, his mother, who viewed her son as more important than her own son, would not make things difficult for him.

Hu Ya and Su Mei observed for the entire morning. She realized that the two of them were no different from before. Only then did she feel completely relieved.

When it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, because Wen Ling was present, there was only Su Wenlan, Su Xinyu and Wen Ling at the main table. Su Fu and the rest of the servants were seated at another table. This was already the biggest rule in Su Family. In fact, if not for Wen Ling, they would have still been seated in a circle. However, it was not bad to be able to talk and laugh like this.

"Ling Ge, what is your wish for this year?" Su Xinyu asked.

Shangguan Lin looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. At this time, his wish was enough to fulfill her request. In two years, he would be able to marry her. But he couldn't say that in front of everyone. Otherwise, what kind of logic was this, to be able to receive it privately, would affect Su Xinyu's reputation. And other than Su Wenlan and Su Mei, the others simply did not know that this young master Su Family should be the great miss of Su Family.

After thinking about it again and again, Shangguan Lin finally replied, "I hope that I can achieve what I want." With just a few words, he had answered Su Xinyu's question. But he did hope for a lot of comfort from his colleagues. For example, the Fourth Brother could ascend the throne as he wished. Only then would he have a future. By that time, he wouldn't have to hide his identity anymore.

Su Xinyu laughed when she heard this. I think so too. "

Shangguan Lin did not stay in the Su Family for long, and he left on the evening of the second day.

Su Xinyu didn't know why he was in such a hurry. However, looking at his pale face after receiving the message, she knew that something big must have happened. There were no obstructions, no inquiries, but that did not mean that he did not care. Su Xinyu was very clear about this in her heart. It would be a long time before they would meet again. And when they met again, Wen Ling's identity and background should already be known to him.

On the tenth day of the first month, news came from the capital. It was fortunate that the Fifth Prince of Fourth Prince had saved the emperor, allowing the latter to turn the situation around. And Third Prince was imprisoned in the Sky Prison after being captured for treason.

The eleventh day of the first month, news from the capital. The emperor was poisoned and murdered by the empress. The empress was given a poisoned wine and the emperor personally ordered the entire Lou Clan to be apprehended.

On the twelfth day of the first month, the capital sent a report. Yuan Right Prime Minister Lou Jiuming, 10 counts of disrespect, 10 counts of complicity against the enemy. The Lou Clan was executed. Children under the age of ten were no exception.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the emperor arrived at the capital. Behind Imperial Consort Wen. The Fourth Prince was established as the crown prince. The Fifth Prince was the Prince Ling.

The changes within the palace occurred at a tremendous pace. Just the Haian City alone was so complicated to hear about, let alone those people in the capital.

Since the tenth day of the new year, there had been news of Third Prince's rebellion. Then Yuxiang Restaurant closed. In fact, he wasn't the only one who had no idea what was going on in such a chaotic situation. The Little Merchants' house could open a door to do business, but it could also close in time. But they were not good enough. If there really was a mutiny, it might not even be safe to close the door, let alone open it.

As of now, Su Family rarely went out of his house. Anyway, there was enough food stored in the house. If he didn't go out to buy some food and sauces, he would be able to eat for at least a year or so. There were also guards staying at the Yuxiang Restaurant. Su Xinyu was not worried. He was truly worried about Wen Ling and Tian Liyong who were in the capital.

Neither of them gave him any news. However, she knew very well that the situation in the capital was extremely tense. After the old emperor was crippled, he would establish the crown prince and the crown prince. These were all very troublesome matters. To put it bluntly, it was only right for her to not have the time to tell him for a year or so.

But a man's fears do not change by the lucidity of reason. Fortunately, after the news of the fifteenth day of the first month, he already knew that there was no good news or bad news before the tenth day of the second month.

Su Xinyu more or less heard about the matters of the court from the Li Clan and Zhang Ziyi. She couldn't help but go to Chief Officer Yamen as well. The result was that the old emperor was going to die soon. It was the first time that the Fifth Prince had publicly appeared in the imperial court. Furthermore, he was not some boorish villager who was said to have been sent to the countryside to be raised as a cripple. Instead, he had always performed meritorious deeds in the military. And now, the Imperial Consort Wen had become the Queen. Although he was still her successor and the son she gave birth to when she was a concubine could not be considered as her son, in the end, her identity was no different from Third Prince's. If she were to say that she had ascended the throne, it was not as if there were no previous examples.

Listening on, Su Xinyu had a shocking thought in her heart. However, she did not ask, nor did she seek the truth from anyone. There were some things she wanted her client to explain to her personally. This was the trust they had in each other, and also seemed to be the promise Wen Ling made to himself before he left.

"I hope you will not disappoint me …"
