Chapter 482: Chapter 482: The Tomb King’s Wife(3)_1

"My sister won’t get married." Although Changting is young, he understood the conversation between his sister and sister-in-law. Thinking that Lin Ziyin might be bullied by a group of women, he immediately jumped out in objection.

"Not getting married." Yanzhi also shook his head expressing his stance.

"Changshu, Dayou, what do you think?" The old man was interested in what his two grandsons thought.

"Since Grandfather has advised it, there must be a reason. Although I don’t know why Grandfather changed his mind and agreed to this marriage. I believe that Grandfather always cherishes Ziyin and won’t harm her for personal gain," Lin Changshu hesitantly answered.

At this point, his feelings were mixed. On one hand, he did not agree with Lin Ziyin marrying into the Wang Residence, but on the other hand, he trusted the wisdom of the old man. He was at a loss when asked for his opinion.

The old man turned his gaze to Wu Dayou.

Dayou’s hands were so nervous that they were sweating. He moved his lips, but no sound came out for a while.

"Say something," Zige glared at him, hoping that he would support her views.

"The sister has accepted the Prince’s bracelet. Grandfather has also agreed; I think this marriage is quite good." Dayou was not going to side with Zige.

"That bracelet was obviously forcibly given to my sister by the Prince," Zige argued in frustration. "I think you’re up to no good."

The accusation was severe, Dayou looked at Zige with a wronged expression, only to receive a glare in return.

He immediately lowered his head out of fear and then honestly voiced his opinion, "My sister-in-law is very talented. If she were in a rich family, it would be okay. For a small family like ours, if anyone has ill intentions, it could harm her. Despite the tremendous changes in Shili Village, we wouldn’t be able to withstand a powerful figure."

"In the end, you’re just scared," Zige was clearly annoyed and began to speak unreservedly.

"No, that’s not true," Wu Dayou waved his hands to protest his innocence, "You’re already my wife, and Ziyin is like my own sister."

"Stop this nonsense," the old man interjected as he glanced at Zige, "Continue."

Encouraged by him, Dayou relaxed a bit. "Shili Village is quite small. Given my sister-in-law’s talents, she will surely outgrow it. If the Prince promises to protect her, then this marriage might be acceptable. We all live here in Shili Village and can’t leave the Northern Land. In the Northern Land, only the Prince has real power; in case anything goes wrong, he can protect her. However, if we are to agree to this marriage, we must set some conditions that are favorable to her."

Dayou’s speech lacked coherence and was verbose. Still, the old man nodded with satisfaction, "Good lad, how did you come up with all that?"

"In the mountains, survival goes to the fiercest," Dayou replied, taken aback by the old man’s praise.

Lin Ziyin gave a bitter smile and glanced at everyone. The old man had already privately told her the reasons.

She had also thought about it quietly. The potential dangers Situ Gong hypothesized could likely occur.

There are those in the imperial court who have been trying to suppress the Prince. They definitely wouldn’t want the Northern Land to become a granary. As soon as the corn and rice harvest comes in, they might find out about her, the "hero." How would she cope then? There are those who will stop at nothing and can’t be reasoned with in the emperor’s court. Moreover, if Daqin continues to decay and the court wants to dispatch some people to kidnap her, it would be as easy as pie.
