Wang sat in front of Lin Wan, her eyes full of anxiety. Lin Heng beside her also frowned, looking upset.

Lin Wan digested this sudden news for a while before asking, "Why did my brother-in-law say anything about Hengdi's marriage?"

Only from Wang's explanation did Lin Wan understand what was going on.

Since Shen Qinghe passed the imperial examination, he has been attending various banquets and social events with many of his classmates. By chance, he met a disciple of Lord Wang from the Ministry of Personnel and was introduced to Lord Wang.

After the palace examination, Shen Qinghe's performance was not ideal, and when the official position and place were assigned, he was assigned to a remote small place. Shen Qinghe knew that if he really went there, with his ability and background, he might not be able to get promoted even if he stayed in that small place for more than ten years, so after hearing the news, he began to look for connections everywhere.

The first person to be contacted must be Lin Zhigao, but unfortunately Lin Zhigao himself has no real power in the court, and he has no say in the allocation of officials in the Ministry of Personnel. He contacted many people, but none of them had a good solution.

Just when he was at a loss, Shen Qinghe heard about Miss Wang from a good friend who had attended the dinner with him.

Lord Wang has a legitimate daughter, who is already eighteen years old this year, but he has never married her. Because of some accidents when she was young, she had a leg disease, which did not affect her movements, but was not very elegant. He just had this one legitimate daughter, and she was spoiled since she was a child, but he was reluctant to find someone to marry casually. He was even more reluctant to let his daughter stay at home unmarried for life, neither high nor low, dragging her feet until she was eighteen years old, and still hadn't found a suitable family.

When Shen Qinghe heard this, he had an idea in his mind, but unfortunately he had already married Lin Fu, and now he was about to have a child, so he couldn't divorce his wife and marry another one.

But his younger brother Shen Er didn't even have a reputation, let alone a proper job. Even if he was asked to be the son-in-law of the Wang family, the Wang family would not look down on him. Thinking about it, he decided to set his sights on Lin Heng.

It just so happened that Lin Fu was scolded by Lin Zhigao last time she went back to the Lin family to make trouble for divorce, and she was not allowed to go back to the Lin family without reason. Wang was worried, so she asked Lin Heng to visit Lin Fu frequently at the Shen family. Shen Qinghe was worried that he could not find a suitable candidate to let him get in touch with Lord Wang. After Lin Heng came and went, Shen Qinghe noticed him.

Compared with Shen Er, Lin Heng is simply the most suitable. Although Lin Zhigao's official position is not high, he at least has a daughter who married into the Marquis's mansion. As the legitimate son of the Lin family and Lin Wan's younger brother, Lin Heng has a promising future even if he has no fame yet.

No matter how you think about it, Lin Heng is the best candidate. Shen Qinghe took Lin Heng to appear in front of Lord Wang and praised Lin Heng's character and Lin Wan's current status in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. Lord Wang really thought he was a good candidate.

Everything was ready, so Shen Qinghe went to find Lin Zhigao. However, he was very scheming and did not say that he wanted to find a better place to be an official. He only said that Lord Wang saw Lin Heng and felt that he liked him very much. He asked him a lot about the Lin family and wanted to form an alliance with the Lin family, so he asked him to come and ask Lin Zhigao what he thought.

Lin Zhigao certainly knew about Miss Wang's situation. He had only one legitimate son. If he really let him marry a lame wife, it would be a disgrace to the Lin family in the future. Lin Zhigao hesitated, but Shen Qinghe used his eloquence and powerful analysis to persuade him for a long time, and Lin Zhigao changed his mind again.

By the time Wang heard the news, Lin Zhigao had already agreed to the marriage and was waiting for an opportunity for the two families to meet formally to discuss it.

Wang immediately refused to accept this. She only had this one son, so how could she let him marry a lame girl?

Lin Heng was not happy either. He wanted a wife who was knowledgeable, interesting, and beautiful. Miss Wang never showed up in public. Since she was a cripple, her appearance must not be that good. He didn't want to marry her!

But since Lin Zhigao got mad at Lin Fu, he didn't have a good face towards Wang at home, and Wang didn't dare to quarrel with him. Knowing that this matter was proposed by Shen Qinghe, she asked Lin Heng to find Lin Fu and talk to Shen Qinghe, asking him to persuade Lin Zhigao not to agree to this matter.

As for Lin Fu, Shen Qinghe had already convinced her that as long as Lin Heng married Miss Wang, he could be transferred to a wealthy and good place to be an official. Even if he could not stay in Shangjing at first, he would be able to be promoted in a few years at most.

Shen Qinghe asked Lin Fu, "Do you want Lin Heng to marry Miss Wang and she will live a good life with him?" Or do you want her to refuse the marriage and go to a remote and poor place with him to endure the hardship?

Lin Fu supported him without even thinking about it.

The Lin family has given up on her now. They watched her suffer in the Shen family and didn't help her. Her father even beat her and didn't allow her to go back. Now everyone is fawning over Lin Wan. Since no one cares about her, why should she care who Lin Heng marries?

When Lin Heng found Lin Fu, before he even opened his mouth to ask her for help, Lin Fu began to lecture him, telling him that he should marry a virtuous woman, and how could he dislike her because of her appearance! Moreover, this marriage would only benefit the Lin family, and would not cause any harm. She told him to listen to his father, behave well, marry Miss Wang, treat her well, and make the Wang family satisfied.

From beginning to end, there was not a single word of concern as to whether Lin Heng was willing or not.

Lin Heng looked at the elder sister sitting in front of him who was smiling and advising him to be sensible, and suddenly felt so strange!

Since childhood, Lin Heng has always been very kind to his elder sister Lin Fu. When he heard Wang say that Lin Fu lost her mother at a young age and how pitiful she was as a small person, he was afraid that Lin Fu would be bullied. He protected her no matter at home or outside, and the first thing he thought of when he had any good things was to give them to her.

Because Lin Fu always said in front of him that she envied Lin Wan for having a mother and a brother, he became closer to Lin Fu and disliked Lin Wan in every way. He felt that Lin Wan had taken away Lin Fu's status as the legitimate daughter of the Lin family, and was also competing for favor in front of his mother, hurting Lin Fu's heart.

Even after Lin Fu married into the Shen family, he often came over to support her in front of the Shen family, fearing that she would be wronged.

But now, his elder sister, whom he protected in every possible way, was forcing him to marry a woman for whom he had no feelings for, just for the so-called benefits.

Why does this sound so funny!

Lin Heng almost collapsed and left the Shen family. After returning to the Lin family, he looked at Wang's anxious expression and said with a wry smile: "Mom, my eldest sister is selfish and cold-hearted. She doesn't care about us at all. We have been wrong all these years."

Wang had no way to accept this reality. She had separated from her own daughter for Lin Fu. But now, Lin Fu was impossible to tame. For her own benefit, she didn't care about Lin Heng's feelings at all.

The mother and son thought about it for a whole night, and finally had to ask Lin Wan for help.

Now sitting in front of Lin Wan, Wang and Lin Heng felt so ashamed that they had no face to face. They still remembered vividly how they had neglected and treated Lin Wan over the years. Now they were in trouble and came to her for help. And this trouble was brought by Lin Fu, whom they had always doted on and protected.

How ridiculous!
