Since that day, Lin Qingyao asked Rubing to go to Xuanping Marquis Mansion every two days. Under Rubing's care, Lin Qingwan's physical condition gradually improved.

But even so, Lin Qingwan's health became worse day by day, and she still could not attend the birthday banquet of the old Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was extremely lively that day. Lin Qingyao and Xiao Jingxuan arrived early in the morning, and Gu Jingan also attended his grandfather's birthday banquet on behalf of Lin Qingwan who was unable to come.

At this moment, the three of them were chatting with the three brothers Lin Yanzhe who were personally welcoming the guests in the front yard.

Lin Yanzhe and Lin Yanming were in a good mood as they had just had a grandson, and today was also their father’s birthday, so they were all smiling.

Lin Qingyao couldn't help but tease, "Uncle San is really in high spirits. He just got a grandson, and today he got to meet three candidates for son-in-law. These happy events are one after another. No wonder you are so happy to see him."

After hearing Lin Qingyao's words, Lin Yanming smiled even more. "Yao'er, what you said hits the nail on the head. Our biggest wish now is for our children to be happy. How can I not be happy? But speaking of this matter, I have to trouble you two brothers to take care of it today. You are knowledgeable and better at judging people than me. You have to test them for Han'er."

Lin Yanting smiled when he heard this, "Third brother, you are too kind. We have watched Han'er grow up, so we should take good care of her lifelong affairs. Don't you think so, second brother?"

Lin Yanzhe nodded and agreed, "Brother, you are absolutely right. We will pay attention to this matter no matter what. Moreover, my third sister-in-law has already done the first round of screening. These three candidates must be excellent. We are just giving some suggestions on this basis. Jing'an and Jingxuan are here today. You two brothers-in-law should also do your part and examine them with us later."

Upon hearing this, the two of them agreed and smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

Lin Qingyao at the side said with a smile: "Dad, it is necessary for you to help Fifth Sister to check, but I think Fifth Sister's own ideas are also important. While they are all here today, why not let Fifth Sister see them all and listen to her ideas, how about it?"

Lin Yanzhe nodded upon hearing this, "Of course, we are just bystanders and can only give some suggestions at most. In the end, Han'er still has to be satisfied."

Lin Yanming sighed when he heard this, "I'm not worried about anything else, but Han'er has always been gentle, and I'm afraid she will be bullied in the future, and she won't dare to tell us if she's wronged, so I have to choose someone who is good to her and can protect her."

Lin Qingyao comforted him, "Don't worry, Third Uncle. Fifth Sister actually has her own ideas, but she didn't dare to speak them out easily before. In recent days, Fifth Sister has become much more lively and is willing to tell us a lot of things. I believe she can make the right choice."

After hearing Lin Qingyao's words, Lin Yanming felt a little more comforted. Before he could say anything more, the servant came to report that the three families had arrived at the door.

Everyone present was a little surprised; they didn't expect them to come so early.

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. For those three families, the opportunity to marry into the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is really hard to come by, so naturally they would attach more importance to it.

It was good that they came early, because this would give them more time to test the three of them before the other guests arrived.

At this time, there were three carriages parked in front of the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and there were many people standing in front of each carriage. It seemed that every family had come out today.

The three families were all familiar with each other before, but today they were competitors, so naturally they were not very warm when they met and just greeted each other briefly.

In fact, they all thought that they had arrived early enough and tried to seize the initiative first, but they didn't expect that others had the same idea, and no one could gain any advantage.

However, the three families arrived one after the other, and they were all distinguished guests of the day, which put the servant who was greeting them at the door in a dilemma.

The three families were standing at the door at the same time. No matter who was let in first, the other two would feel that they were being treated lightly. This made him unable to make up his mind for a moment, so he could only go in and report.

The people in the front yard did not think this was a difficult problem. Even though they were standing in front of the door at the same time, there was still a first come first served order. They were just invited in according to the order they arrived. No one could find fault with it.

The servant who received the master's order hurriedly invited the He family who arrived first into the house. Compared with the other two families, the He family had the simplest staff, only three people. Upon hearing the words, they hurriedly followed the servant into the house.

The head of the He family is He Chenglu, a sixth-rank official in the Dali Temple. Even though his official position is not high, it is still higher than Lin Yanming's.

He Chenglu worked under Yu Xianjie and had a good relationship with Lord Yu.

With this relationship, Mrs. He felt that her son's chances of winning were much higher, and she was full of confidence today.

Her son He Yunsheng was born handsome, talented and capable. Mrs. He believed that her son was much better than the unlearned young master of the Xia family and the lowly bastard of the Liang family, and the He family was determined to get this marriage.

At this moment, the He family was the first to be invited in. Mrs. He looked at Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Liang with a smug look on her face, and the two of them rolled their eyes at the same time in anger.

He Chenglu sighed helplessly after seeing this scene, and whispered: "Madam, please don't be like this. Lord Xia and Lord Ye have higher official positions than your husband. Don't offend their wives, otherwise how will your husband face them in the future?"

Madam He disagreed and said, "Master, what are you worried about? No matter how you look at it, Yunsheng has the best chance of winning. When we become relatives with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, what do we have to be afraid of? By then, they won't have time to curry favor with us, so how can they dare to have any opinions?"

"Madam, of course we think our son is the best, but others may not think so. Moreover, although Yunsheng is excellent, our words and deeds will also affect others' views of Yunsheng. Your husband advises you to restrain yourself. If the people in the Marquis' Mansion saw you just now, I'm afraid it would reduce Yunsheng's points."

After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. He thought about it carefully and felt that this was true, so she adjusted her expression.

"I understand. Master, don't worry. I will behave well today and will never hold my son back. Yunsheng, remember, you are better than both of them. As long as you behave well, this marriage will be yours."

He Yunsheng, who had been silent the whole time, responded, "Son, I understand. I will do my best today. But mother, I will do what I should do, but the result is not something we can control. No matter what the final result is, you have to accept it calmly."
