Chapter 481: Chapter 481: The Tomb King’s Daughter-in-law (2)_1

Indeed, the words Situ Gong spoke today expressed what had been troubling him for half a year. The Northern Land was a harsh and cold place, and looking around, there were few men who were worthy of his granddaughter.

A tall tree catches much wind, and even if he tried his best to shelter Lin Ziyin and the Lin Family, his old tree had the will but not the power. The scale of the Lin Family was all due to Lin Ziyin’s efforts, including the changes in Shili Village. In the future, Lin Ziyin would undoubtedly be a prominent figure in all of Daqin. But how could a person like him protect her from the storms of life? Even her older brother Changshu lacked the capability to protect her.

If anybody in Feng City could protect Ziyin, it would truly have to be the Prince.

"Old Sir can rest assured, even if the Lin Family lacks the influence needed to protect Miss Lin, it doesn’t matter. The Prince values Miss Lin, not because of her abilities, but because of who she is as a person." Situ Gong, a master of understanding human psychology, detected the hesitation on the old man’s face and immediately intensified his persuasion, "The Prince is willing to swear before all under Heaven at Ding’an Temple, this life he will only share with Miss Lin, the offsprings will only be from her."

The old man remained silent.

"Even if something were to happen to Miss Lin, he will not have any other woman, or any other offspring." The last sentence was particularly difficult for Situ Gong to say. As an advisor of the Prince, he naturally hoped that the Prince could produce more heirs.

All these years, the Prince had been alone in the Northern Land. Naturally, it would be more lively if the Wang Residence had more children.

But Chu Suifeng was too stubborn, and once he set his mind on something, not even nine oxen could drag him back. No matter how intimate he was with the Prince, in the end, he was merely an adviser, unable to persuade or prevent Chu Suifeng in his madness.

"Furthermore, selfishly as it may seem, I hope Miss Lin could put all her talents to use, to let the people of the Northern Land live a life without worries. This small Shili Village is not enough for her. She’s too confined here. She deserves better." In the end, Situ Gong made his regret apparent.

He rarely admired anyone, there were fewer than five in the world. Lin Ziyin was definitely among the few.

Lin Ziyin was currently feeling upset and unwilling to be the mistress of the Prince’s mansion. Chu Suifeng was bad at expressing himself, and being an advisor was exhausting. Besides being constantly aware of the situation at the border, he now even had to worry about his master’s marriage.

She deserves better? Situ Gong’s words profoundly shocked the old man.

"As far as Situ Yan is concern, I beg the old Sir to consider this thoroughly." Situ Gong didn’t wait for the old man to decide, he politely excused himself making his point.

At this moment, the old man’s mind was in chaos. He was not in the mood to entertain Situ Gong and instead nodded absentmindedly.

Situ Gong gracefully bid farewell to leave the small hut. If all goes well, he had met his wishes this time.

That evening, as expected, the old man asked Lin Ziyin to visit his room. The rest of the Lin Family were also present.

"Grandpa, didn’t you say Ziyin should choose her marriage herself?" Zige was very upset. In Zige’s opinion, with all the talents possessed by Lin Ziyin, there were not many men in the world worthy of her.

Although the Prince held noble rank, she knew that there were already other women in his mansion. To let Ziyin be in a place where she would have to share a husband with other women, Zige thought this was an insult to Ziyin.

"The Prince already has several consorts and last time when Ziyin was injured, it was his consort who deliberately provoked the fight. We Lin Family have no influence. If little sister enters the Wang Residence, we do not have the ability to back her. The women in that residence are all noble ladies, each a delicate beauty. If little sister were to be bullied by these women, what would we do?" Guo Huiniang, pregnant, also protested against Lin Ziyin joining the Wang Residence.
