Chapter 252: Chapter 252: If You’re Saved from Drowning, Must You Marry? 23

In the morning, Shi Wen watched as Ah Chen and Lin Daming went out.

The father and daughter chatted and laughed, as if there had been no argument.

She felt somewhat deflated, disappointed in her heart.

Indeed, he is the County Magistrate’s son, even without a title, not just anyone can reach him. His older brother is a Scholar who unfortunately married long ago and now studies at an academy in the Capital City, only coming by during festivals. Shen Heng is renowned; barring any surprises, his name will surely be on the imperial examination list in the future.

Knowing this, of course, she heard from her cousin’s side.

For now, she has no good approach with Ying Bairong, but if she could indeed reach the County Magistrate’s young son, that would work too. However, the doors of the County Magistrate are different from the Ying Family; she currently dares not go, and when she is there, she panics greatly.

She couldn’t help but feel anger; one day soon, the County Magistrate will have to bow before her.

Returning to the courtyard, she said to Shi’s mother who was washing clothes: "Recently, Lin Chen and Second Young Master Shen have been spending a lot of time together; maybe something good is about to happen."

Her mother hearing this would certainly spread it; she knew her all too well.

Those two are still interacting for now; first spread this rumor, the County Magistrate’s family might not be pleased and seeing Lin Chen getting better and better would upset her, why should that be?

Shi’s mother was stunned for a moment, then she asked: "Is it the Second Young Master Shen from the County Magistrate’s family?"

"Exactly him, yesterday I went over to buy meat, precisely ran into him at the butcher shop, he bought all the leftover bones, and Lin Chen left with him, I don’t know where the two went."

Shi’s mother suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I’m furious, I told you yesterday to buy meat, why buy from another’s? Rarely do we eat meat, that meat isn’t as good as Lin Daming’s shop. Why didn’t you buy from his shop? Naturally, you stirred things up before, now Lin Daming’s shop never wants to give anything extra to our family. In the past, Lin Chen would’ve directly given you those bones."

"Look at you, stirred up all this while and gained nothing, and even lost so much, is it worth it? You might as well have listened to me and agreed with Landlord Chen earlier, he’s been thinking about you. In a couple more years, you won’t reach his side anymore."

"Look at Lin Chen, attracting Second Young Master Shen’s attention so quickly, why can’t you?" Shi’s mother said resentfully, even if as a concubine, the benefits are numerous, better than with Landlord Chen.

Of course, she dare not tell Shi Wen to seduce anyone; commoners always have some fear of officials. Last time the County Magistrate’s authority really scared her.

And there she goes again.

Shi Wen was almost driven mad but dared not talk back much; her mother would resort to hitting.

"Mom, would you stop harping on it, as long as nothing settles by next year, I’ll listen to you, alright?" Shi Wen opened her mouth.

Why hasn’t Qu Shao arrived yet?

She had a plan in mind, just waiting for Qu Shao to come help her execute it.

Thinking back and forth, she didn’t want to miss Ying Bairong, definitely had to marry him! If planned well, when things are set in stone, even if the other party unwilling, can’t blame her.

After all, she was also dragged into things by him.

The determination flashed in Shi Wen’s eyes.

As for her cousin’s side, take things slow; she is more anxious here. If things don’t settle by next year, her mother will marry her to Landlord Chen; she sees her life’s future clearly. When Landlord Chen is dead, who knows what kind of days she’ll have.

Her mother favors that side, isn’t it because Landlord Chen gives a lot.

At the butcher shop, Shen Xuan arrived.

Came to sign in and also to meet someone, and to give her the script he wrote yesterday.

But this Uncle Lin stared with eyes wide open, like wanting to see through him, having come here, he definitely wanted to give her the script.

"Miss Lin, I have two scripts here, take a look and see if they’re interesting." Shen Xuan handed over the scripts.

Ah Chen took them, eyes smiling: "Thank you, Second Young Master Shen, I’ll take a look then."

"In a while, the tea house master will be telling these two stories, you can go listen." Shen Xuan said again, Uncle Lin’s eyes still on him. Staring for what, not doing business? A customer is here.

Shen Xuan didn’t stay long; he had to go to the Government Office today to discreetly inquire his father about the Court’s matters. Sigh, can’t just let him relax?

[Host, side quest appeared, gain Lin Daming’s favor, once favor reaches 80, will receive antidote for Emperor’s poisoning, max value is 100.] The system timely spoke.

Shen Xuan laughed in vexation: [Are you playing me?]

What favor can Lin Daming have for him now?

[How much favor does he have for me?]

[30, originally 60, just dropped by 30.]

Shen Xuan sighed: [Then let Emperor medicine pill wait for him to die from poisoning, you guys give him no way out.]

System comforted: [Host, I believe you can handle Lin Daming, you managed more difficult clients, isn’t Lin Daming manageable?]

Shen Xuan: [Forget it, lazy to argue, I’m off to the Government Office to check around, see the situation.]

Whether or not he can satisfy Lin Daming, he doesn’t know, but he truly desires Lin Chen, wants to be with her.

Being merely a County Magistrate’s son, not at the bottom, but wanting to change circumstances, indeed must cooperate with the system to do tasks for now.

Let’s give it a try, the extent depends on fate.

Lin Daming squatted beside Ah Chen, suddenly froze, these two scripts seem exactly like the ones Shen Xuan burned midnight oil writing, couldn’t see the contents clearly, but the covers are identical.

Good kid, thought he feigned being a wastrel, actually talented and scheming, used nights to write scripts, still an unserious wastrel.

"Dad, don’t you think he seemed sincere?" Ah Chen smiled, "Dad, look at the ink, clearly recently written, presumably by Second Young Master Shen himself, I just saw, his hands stained with ink."

Lin Daming snorted, this girl observed quite keenly.

However, to cheer his daughter this much, he was still pleased.

"If you truly like him, find a chance, dad will have a talk with him, alright?" Lin Daming asked, "See how his attitude is, what he’s really thinking."

Ah Chen naturally responded; Shen Xuan should perform well, she also hoped he quickly gains Lin Daming’s favor, gets the antidote. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

If it doesn’t get to that point, she wouldn’t push further.

He’s a person with ideas.

Moreover, must have her dad satisfied, he should put in the effort himself.

Lin Daming was satisfied, thankfully his daughter wasn’t losing her mind.

"Dad has some business." Lin Daming still needed to have a look.

Ah Chen nodded: "All right, I’ll watch over here."

Lin Daming circled to his backyard, focused on listening, suddenly his expression changed sharply, here they come, there were movements inside.

He quickly retrieved prepared clothing to change, disguising himself, then flashed onto Shi Family’s rooftop, completely holding his breath, listening to the inside sounds.

Shi Wen: "You finally came, I was about to die of anxiety."

"Can’t be so compromised, this time must be direct, I need to have things set with Ying Bairong, you must help me."
