Chapter 122 Come to the door

"Madam, you are right. Since the fate of Miss Xu Wanrong has been spread, it is imperative to propose marriage. We must act as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."

Madam Lin nodded, a look of determination on her face. She turned around and told the maid, "Go and prepare the gifts for tomorrow. You must choose them carefully and don't be careless."

The little maid responded and ran out in a hurry. Madam Lin turned to Lin Hai and said, "Brother Hai, you should also think of a way to improve Miss Wanrong's favor for you. After all, marriage is a matter of mutual affection."

Lin Zhen pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Madam is right. Hai'er, go to the study and write a letter to Miss Wanrong to express your sincerity and love. Also, prepare a gift for Miss Wanrong to show your sincerity."

After saying that, Lin Zhen stood up and walked quickly to the study with Lin Hai, ready to personally instruct his son on how to write the letter. Mrs. Lin also got busy, she personally selected the gifts, carefully selecting each one, fearing that there would be something wrong.

As night fell, the lights in the Lin family's house were on. Under Lin Zhen's guidance, Lin Hai wrote in the study, and a heartfelt letter gradually took shape. Mrs. Lin was supervising the servants packing the gifts, and each one was wrapped tightly, fearing that it would be damaged on the way.

There was no conversation that night. The next day, just after dawn, the Lin family became lively. Lin Zhen and Lin Hai got up early, washed up, and went to the living room. The table in the living room was already filled with gifts carefully prepared by Mrs. Lin.

Lin Zhen glanced at Lin Hai, his eyes full of expectation: "Brother Hai, today is the most important day in your life. You must perform well and let Miss Xu Wanrong see your excellence and sincerity."

Lin Hai nodded, a nervous yet determined look on his face. He took a deep breath and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. I will do my best to let Miss Wanrong see my good side."

After that, the three of them hurried out with the gifts and letters. They rode in a carriage and rushed all the way to Xu Wanrong's residence. Their hearts were full of anticipation and nervousness, hoping that the marriage could be smoothly settled today.

……

The carriage sped along the street, raising a cloud of dust. The Lin family's carriage stopped in front of Xu Wanrong's residence, and the three of them got off in a hurry. They looked up and saw a rather elegant courtyard. There were some flowers and trees dotted in the courtyard, which had a hint of wildness.

Lin Zhen straightened his clothes and walked towards the courtyard with Lin Hai and Mrs. Lin. They were all filled with anxiety and anticipation, wondering how Miss Xu Wanrong would view their proposal.

However, they also knew that no matter what, they had to seize the opportunity of Xu Wanrong. They really didn't dare to gamble that there would be a second woman with the destiny of having many children and grandchildren!

As the footsteps approached, the three people in the Lin family became more and more nervous. Lin Zhen knew that what they were facing at this moment was not only Xu Wanrong's test, but also the hope of the entire family's future. He took a deep breath, tried to calm his excitement, and gently knocked on the door of the courtyard.

"Squeak--" The door slowly opened, revealing a kind and slightly surprised face. It was Xu Wanrong's mother, Xu's mother. She recognized the Lin Zhen family standing outside the door at a glance, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Yesterday, Wanrong came back from Huangjue Temple and told them that she had met Master Huichan and was predicted to have many children and grandchildren. She also met the wife of Marquis Weiyuan and was proposed to by her. When Xu's father and mother heard it, they were confused. What was their daughter talking about?

Are you sure you're not talking in your sleep?

They wouldn't even dare to dream of such a beautiful life, but their daughter is so bold!

And it is said that the wife of Marquis Weiyuan wants to seek a wife for her son. Who is that?

Isn't it Lin Hai?

The man your daughter loves?

How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

But now, looking at the people from Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion standing outside their house, holding various valuable gifts, Mother Xu felt that she might be dreaming too? Otherwise, what was the scene she was seeing now?

Mrs. Lin saw that it was a woman who came out, and guessed that it was Xu Wanrong's mother. She stepped forward and said:

"This must be Miss Xu Wanrong's mother, right? I am the wife of Marquis Weiyuan, and this is our Marquis Lin Zhen and my son Lin Hai! Miss Wanrong and I have made an appointment to let the two children meet each other. I wonder if Miss Wanrong is free now?"

Mother Xu seemed to have just woken up from a dream. With a complicated expression, she asked everyone to come into the house, but her eyes unconsciously wandered over Lin Hai. Was this the Lin Hai who had bewitched her daughter so much that she had forgotten the rules of the mansion?

Xu's mother led everyone into the courtyard, where Xu Wanrong was sitting at the stone table, teaching her younger brothers and sisters to read seriously. The sun shone on her, casting a golden halo on her, making her look even more gentle and charming.

Seeing Marquis Weiyuan and his family coming, Xu Wanrong stood up, walked over slowly, bowed slightly and said, "Wanrong greets Marquis Lin, Madam Lin, and Mr. Lin." Her voice was clear and pleasant, as refreshing as a mountain spring.

Lin Zhen nodded secretly in his heart. This posture and demeanor were indeed worthy of his wife's praise. She was barely qualified to be the young lady of his Weiyuan Marquis Mansion!

Lin Hai looked at Xu Wanrong in front of him. She stood elegantly, like a blooming flower, so beautiful that it moved his heart. He was distracted for a moment, but soon came to his senses, bowed solemnly, and said, "Miss Xu, I am Lin Hai, and I am honored to meet you."

Xu Wanrong looked at the man in front of her and slowly smiled. Her smile was as warm as the spring breeze, but there was a hint of shyness in her eyes, and she looked around with an indescribable charm.

Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up when she saw this. She hurried forward and took Xu Wanrong's hand with a smile.

"Miss Wanrong, our family has come all the way here for you today. Our Lord and Hai agreed to all the conditions I mentioned yesterday without any hesitation!"

"My dear Hai Ge'er, you have seen today that he is a handsome man. I wonder if you have any objection to marrying into the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion?"

Xu Wanrong's cheeks flushed immediately, and she lowered her head and said softly, "Marriage is an important matter, and it is up to the parents to decide."

Madam Lin smiled happily and quickly said to Xu's mother who was standing next to her, "Madam Xu, look, Miss Wanrong is so gentle and virtuous, and my brother Hai is also a handsome man. The two of them standing together are really a perfect match made in heaven.

I believe you have seen the sincerity of our Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. How about we settle this marriage?"

Mrs. Lin said this with a look of anticipation in her eyes, and was obviously very satisfied with this marriage. After hearing what Mrs. Lin said, although Xu's mother was a little uneasy, she knew that her daughter was interested in Lin Hai, and she thought of the generous conditions offered by the Lin family that her daughter had mentioned yesterday, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod in agreement.

"Mrs. Lin, I have kept your words in mind. It is Wanrong's blessing to marry into the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion. Since both children are interested, our Xu family will naturally not object."

As soon as Xu's mother finished speaking, Mrs. Lin clapped her hands happily, took Xu's mother's hand and said, "Great, great! Then let's make it a deal. Choose an auspicious day and let the two children officially get engaged!"
