1780 The Lin Family’s Visit 3

“We have been a business family for generations, with a low social status. So this time, we request a rank during our visit. With that, we can live a better life, and Chaoyan would take pride in being part of the Lin Family. The Gu Family is no more, and our family should be considered as part of her own, shouldn’t it?” Mrs. Lin emphasized.

Acquiring a rank would suffice for now. They could consider other matters later.

However…

There was one more thing besides the rank.

“Jiashu, you are the most important consideration. Given your own circumstances, it may be difficult for you to find a well-suited partner. Mention this to Chaoyan, so she can discuss with the King the possibility of an imperial marriage for you. You deserve a noble lady! The Elder Miss of the Chu Family would be a great match, even if she’s slightly older than you. Or we can explore other options among the noble ladies!”

“…”

“I have already informed the managers of neighboring businesses that you will be marrying someone far superior to their suitors. Just look at the Huang Family, so arrogant just because the father holds a small position in the court. Once your engagement is confirmed, I will proudly display our superiority right in front of them!” Mrs. Lin grew increasingly excited, as if everything was already within her grasp, beckoning her forward.

Jiashu let out a sigh.

The Lin Family had caused Chaoyan a great deal of hardship in the past, without ever standing up for her.

What Chaoyan had done for them was already more than sufficient.

They felt too ashamed to ask for any additional favors or benefits.

Being the Queen was not a secure position for Chaoyan.

“Mother, let’s not entertain such thoughts. Are we truly deserving of making requests in front of Chaoyan? I believe not. When Chaoyan was crowned, we were granted a place in the ceremony, which is already a generous gesture. Let’s refrain from making unreasonable demands. Instead, let’s see what Chaoyan has to offer, and then we can plan accordingly,” Lin Jiashu intervened.

Upon hearing Lin Jiashu’s words…

Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise.

She appeared displeased. “Jiashu, what are you saying? You’re still too young to comprehend the potential benefits of these requests. I’m doing this for your own good.”

“…”

“You need to find a suitable marriage partner. A noble lady is always better educated than someone from a business family who is so focused on calculations. Moreover, a rank can be passed down to future generations. Your father and I are growing old, and we’re content with what we have. However, it’s essential for you to carry on our family name, so that we never regress to being a mere business family in the coming generations.”

“Enough!” Lin Jiaxing interjected, his voice filled with frustration. “Both of you, stop it. What’s wrong with us being a business family? We are leading a peaceful life as a business family, aren’t we?”

“…”

“Let’s enter the court first and see what they require from us. We shouldn’t keep dwelling on this topic. When Jiashu was unwell, none of this mattered. But now that he’s healthy, you’re becoming excessively greedy!”

“What are you insinuating? I’m not doing this for my own benefit!” Mrs. Lin retorted, her voice laced with anger. “I’m doing this for the sake of our family, the Lin Family! For Jiashu and his future children! As a woman, my name won’t be passed down to future generations. I’m striving for the betterment of our son’s future!”

“…”

“So now I’m the villain, and both of you are the righteous ones?”
