“Oh?”
Fourth Master Lin pondered for a while and asked, “What’s the matter?”
His son had only seen him a few times a year, and he rarely spoke to him, much less begged him for favors.
“Didn’t Father ask about that highly skilled woman just now?”
Lin Jiang said in a low voice, “She’s Lord Chu’s fiancée.”
“Oh?” Fourth Master Lin was surprised. “There’s actually such a coincidence in this world?”
Lin Jiang nodded. “It’s such a coincidence.”
Previously, he had been trying to find an opportunity to make Lu Sheng accept him as her disciple. However, because of Shangguan Linger, she seemed to have some animosity towards him.
Fourth Master Lin pondered and said, “It’s that countryside girl surnamed Lu?”
When he went to the capital previously, he happened to meet Prime Minister Fu.
At that time, the Prime Minister’s wife and Matriarch Fu had mentioned this matter. He happened to hear about it and asked a few questions.
He learned that it was Mdm Fu who wanted Matriarch Fu to plead with Chu Sihan and make him accept her adopted daughter, Fu Yiyi, as his concubine. However, Matriarch Fu rejected her.
Fourth Master Lin had seen Miss Fu before. Prime Minister Fu had previously intended for his son to marry her. She looked good, even though she was a bit wilful.
He did not like such a girl, much less want to make her his daughter-in-law. Hence, he rejected her on behalf of his son.
Lin Jiang nodded. “It’s her.”
“A countryside girl actually knows martial arts?” Fourth Master Lin frowned. “I’m afraid this isn’t simple, right?”
“This woman is indeed not simple. Not only does she know Lord Chu, but she also knows Shi Yi and Yun Ting. Furthermore…”
Lin Jiang looked up and scanned his surroundings. When he saw that no one was looking at them, he said faintly, “Her master is the Third Prince.”
“What?”
Fourth Master Lin frowned. “Third Prince? How is that possible?”
It was not as if he had not seen the Third Prince’s martial arts before. His riding and shooting skills were very poor. Every year, he would hunt but could not even shoot a single prey. How could such a person teach a disciple with good martial arts?
Was his son joking?
“I was very surprised at first. After all, the Third Prince I heard about is almost the same as the Third Prince Father heard about.”
Lin Jiang lowered his voice and said, “However, the Third Prince that I met in Huang Yang Town is different from the rumors. He’s scholarly and steady, and he doesn’t like to talk or laugh. He also knows spells like the State Minister.”
Fourth Master Lin frowned secretly when he heard that. “Could it be that the Third Prince was actually hiding his capabilities? But why did he do that?”
“I don’t quite understand either, but…” Lin Jiang pondered and said, “I can tell that he really doesn’t want to compete for the throne. ”
Fourth Master Lin sighed softly and said, “No matter what, as long as he’s not on the Crown Prince’s side, everything will be fine.”
The father-son pair continued walking in. They only saw Chu Sihan and the rest when they reached the hall.
When Lin Jiang entered the hall, the first thing he saw was Lu Sheng, who was talking to Yu Mingyue.
He stopped in his tracks and said to his father, “Father, I met someone familiar. I’ll go and greet them first.”
“Go ahead.”
After nodding, Fourth Master Lin walked towards Chu Sihan and the rest with a smile.
Lin Jiang walked towards Yu Mingyue and Lu Sheng.
“Oh, Young Master Lin. You’re here too?”
When Yu Mingyue looked up, she happened to see him and quickly spoke with a smile.
Lu Sheng nodded at him and did not speak.
Lin Jiang also bowed slightly. Then, he looked at Yu Mingyue and smiled. “I heard from Brother Yu that you came to Lin Jiang Mansion. I was wondering where to find you. I didn’t expect you to be here.”
“Yuechu and I are good friends. Since she’s getting married today, I’ll naturally be here.”
As Yu Mingyue spoke, she introduced Lu Sheng to him. “This is Miss Lu, Lord Chu’s fiancée. She’s also my friend.”
