While Lin Qingyao and Shen were busy selling clothes and jewelry for money, Lin Qing was not idle either. She was also busy preparing things to buy for the New Year.

At this moment, Lin Qing was writing a shopping list in the room, thinking sadly that perhaps this was the last New Year she and Nan Mingyu would spend in Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

When Lin Qing was busy making a list, he saw Cui Xi trotting in happily, as if she had received some great news.

After Cui Xi ran to Lin Qingye, before she could even catch her breath, she couldn't wait to say, "Miss...Miss...there is...there is...there is...there is good news!"

Lin Qing also looked at Cui Xi, who was running out of breath, lovingly, and handed her a cup of tea with a smile, saying, "Okay, okay, you went out to pick up the silver, right? Drink some tea first, and talk slowly..."

Cui Xi smiled somewhat embarrassedly, then took the tea handed to her by Lin Qingye, drank it in one gulp, and wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

"Miss, good news! Just now, a thread reached me that Master Lu sent someone to pass on a message, saying that... that... Miss Bai... Miss Bai... Miss Bai has agreed to this marriage!"

Lin Qingyao asked curiously, "Oh? Really? Why didn't Lu Ming ask for my opinion? Did Master Lu send any letter?"

Cui Xi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then took out an envelope from her bosom, "Here, this is a letter sent by Mr. Lu. The other party said that you will understand after reading it."

Lin Qing couldn't help but become curious, so she put down the pen and paper in her hand, slowly opened the letter and began to read.

As he read the letter, Lin Qingye's mouth unconsciously began to smile as he read the contents of the letter.

This aroused the curiosity of Cui Xi, who was standing by. She immediately stretched her neck and moved forward. However, she could not read, so she blinked her big eyes and asked Lin Qingye curiously.

"Miss, what's written in this letter? Why are you laughing while reading it? Tell me now!"

Lin Qing also finished reading, picked up the letter, folded it again and put it back into the envelope, then handed it to Cui Xide and said, "I always ask you to learn to read, but you are lazy and don't learn! Now you know it! Go make me a pot of hot tea first, then burn this letter, and I will tell you."

Cui Xi couldn't help but pout after hearing this, but soon ran out happily with the teapot in her hand.

At this moment, Lin Qing also stood up from her seat. She stretched, then slowly walked to the window, opened the window and breathed in the fresh air.

The content of Lu Ming's letter made her feel that the burden on her shoulders was finally going to be lifted, and at this moment she couldn't help but feel extremely comfortable in her heart.

Lu Ming's letter said that he had met the second young lady of the Bai family. In fact, the reason why the second young lady of the Bai family had been waiting to be married in the past few years was that she already had someone she loved.

However, Miss Bai Er knew that she would never be able to meet the man she loved in this life, and she was not willing to marry anyone easily, so she kept postponing the marriage.

By now, the second Miss Bai has already passed the age of coming of age, and Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai are extremely anxious, while the third Miss Bai has been waiting for her second sister to get married. Only after the second Miss Bai gets married can the third Miss Bai get married.

And this Third Miss Bai had already been engaged, and was over the age of coming of age, but had been waiting to be married.

This also makes the marriage of the second Miss Bai, Bai Zhi, the most troublesome problem for the Bai family so far.

Lu Ming said that Bai Zhi's requirements were simple. She wanted the person she married to be someone she liked. She didn't want to be the head of the family after she got married. She just wanted them to not disturb each other.

Lu Ming also said in the letter that this was a win-win situation for Bai Zhi and Lin Qingyuan. If Lin Qingyuan agreed, he could send someone directly to propose marriage. He and Bai Zhi had already agreed on everything.

At this moment, Lin Qing couldn't help but secretly calculate in his heart. If what Lu Ming said was true, Bai Zhi would be the best choice for Lin Qingyuan's wife.

As long as Bai Zhi becomes married, Lin Qingyuan will make Chen Yanyu his concubine, and then let the old lady decide to hand over the power of managing the household to Chen Yanyu.

As long as Chen Yanyu is watching over the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, Lin Qing can leave Kyoto with Nan Mingyu without any worries.

However, although Lu Ming said so, Lin Qingyuan's wife will be the mistress of Pingnan Marquis Mansion in the future. No matter what, her character needs to be investigated.

At this moment, Lin Qing also felt a little regretful. She should not have arranged Chen Yanyu into the mansion for her own selfish desires, thus ruining Chen Yanyu's possibility of becoming Lin Qingyuan's wife.

She knew how deeply Lin Qingyuan loved Chen Yanyu in his previous life, but there was no reason for a girl from a good family to become someone's concubine. Not only would she be inferior to the other person in every way, but the children born in the future would not be able to call her mother.

Lin Qingye herself had been a concubine of the Third Prince Ye Tinghua in her previous life. She understood the hardships of being a concubine, and her mother and grandmother were also concubines.

The identity of a concubine was like a shackle for three generations of them, and no one could escape this fate.

Lin Qing couldn't help but recall her past life, and Nan Mingyu's reaction when she learned that Lin Qing was also going to marry Ye Tinghua as a concubine.

The day before Lin Qingye got married, Nan Mingyu hugged Lin Qingye and cried all night. Nan Mingyu knew very well how difficult it was to be someone's concubine.

Since she was a child, she had seen her mother Gulan suffer, and she herself had experienced the hardship of being Lin Shan's concubine, so she naturally didn't want her daughter to be a concubine.

However, Nanming Yuren had little influence and could not change anything. As a concubine, she could not even have a say in her own daughter's marriage. Apart from crying, all she could do was give all her dowry to Lin Qingye.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing couldn't help but reflect in his heart whether he was too selfish and didn't care about Chen Yanyu's thoughts at all.

But till now, ever since Chen Yanyu was taken into the Pingnan Marquis Mansion by Lin Qingyuan without any status or position, she has been following Lin Qingyuan wholeheartedly.

Lin Qingyuan had always wanted to marry Chen Yanyu openly, and had quarreled with Aunt Liu many times in private for this purpose. But now Chen Yanyu had already lost her virginity, and it was impossible for her to marry Lin Qingyuan openly.

Even if Lin Qingyuan didn't care, there were so many eyes watching him since Chen Yanyu entered the mansion, and Lin Qingyuan always kept Chen Yanyu by his side wherever he went. The news had already spread outside, and they all said that Chen Yanyu was Lin Qingyuan's mistress.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing began to worry again. Should he take Chen Yanyu as a concubine? Or could he let Chen Yanyu leave for a while, then find a way to clear her identity, and then let Lin Qingyuan marry her into the mansion with a clean identity?
