Chapter 118 Persuasion
Persuade
The month waiting for her wedding was the most unbearable period in Yin Ruofei's life.
From that day on, after being carried back to the Hou Mansion by Rong Jingze, the entire mansion was shrouded in a very strange atmosphere.
Yin Haicheng, as the head of the family, avoided talking about it, and occasionally seeing this son was also speechless.
The eldest brother Jin Yuan was shocked as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard the news, and Sun Shi was so frightened that she didn't know what to do and almost called for a doctor.
Jin Yuan, who was shaken awake, pulled Yin Ruofei to his own courtyard, driving all the servants away. He stared at Yin Ruofei with a gaze that contained unspeakable pain.
"Is he forcing you? Is he?" Jin Yuan's eyes turned red, and his appearance startled Yin Ruofei, who couldn't help but take a step back.
"Big brother..."
"Tell me, is it?"
"No, actually I..."
"Don't lie to me!" Jin Yuan punched the wall behind Yin Ruofei with a painful fist, scaring Yin Ruofei's eyes shut. A shallow fist print was left on the wall, still faintly stained with blood. "I knew it, I knew it!"
Jin Yuan's face was filled with regret and pain. When he first met Rong Jingze, he felt that the other man had ill intentions towards his younger brother. So many years had passed, and Rong Jingze had indeed been good to Yin Ruofei, who had received excellent care. He had famous teachers guiding him, powerful martial arts training, and was very happy.
He gradually let his guard down, thinking that his younger brother was really doing well. But after returning from the military camp, something like this happened, what does it represent?
The Wang Fu mansion had many palace maids and concubines, so Rong Jing Ze could take whoever he wanted. But in the military camp, what would he use?
Jin Yuan thought of his beloved younger brother, who was forced by the evil king in the military camp, with no way to escape, and his heart felt like it had been cut into pieces.
"Stop! Big brother……” Yin Ruo Fei didn't know what Jin Yuan had misunderstood, but seeing Jin Yuan like this, how could he let him leave? Moreover, Jin Yuan was shouting to kill Rong Jing Ze, how could he not stop him? Killing Rong Jing Ze, where would his happiness be? Although Jin Yuan couldn't do it.
"Don't stop me." Jin Yuan's eyes looked at Yin Ruofei with endless deep meaning, "It's big brother who didn't protect you well. You go pack your bags now and leave far away, don't... come back again!"
"Big brother......" Yin Ruofei was so angry she couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, "Don't tell me you think you can kill Prince Wang."
If it's so easy to be killed, is he still Rong Jingze? Is he even worthy of being his master's junior?
"I won't have a direct confrontation with the guards." Jin Yuan had already thought of a plan, and when the time came, he would use Yin Ruofei's excuse to meet with Rong Jingze in private, dismissing the guards. Could he still not handle a weak and sickly prince?
Anyway, he doesn't care about his own life anymore, so what if it's for avenging his little brother?
But Jin Yuan's plan in his heart was not told to Yin Ruofei, this would make his brother uneasy, he still decided that it was better for him to know alone.
"Big brother, don't be foolish!" Yin Ruofei was almost in tears. How could her usually gentle and soft-hearted big brother be so hot-tempered today? And he wouldn't even listen to advice. "You're going to assassinate the king, do you want the entire Hou household to lose their lives?! Big brother, think about your son who's not even a hundred days old yet!"
As soon as he mentioned his son, Jin Yuan's expression softened. The entire Hou Mansion, with its hundreds of people, including the Yin family, had dozens of mouths to feed; if they were all beheaded because of him, he would have a hard time facing his ancestors even in death.
His son was the direct reason why he didn't follow him to fight at first. Although his birth mother, Xiao Lin, opposed it, Jin Yuan did not intend to give up and even discussed with Yin Ruofei that he would directly follow him.
But later, Sun told him quietly that she was already pregnant for a month. As the eldest miss of the family, Sun had been spoiled since childhood and was born into a noble family with a military background. So when she heard that her husband was going to war, she felt extremely uneasy in her heart, fearing that he might have an accident.
Sun's plea, Jin Yuan also thoroughly dispelled the idea, this first child was indeed precarious, fighting had no end in sight, Sun wasn't a strong-willed woman either, so she could only give up her plan to go to the border.
Yin Haicheng and others returned two months ago, this child was just born, a big fat boy of more than seven pounds. In a few days, it will be the child's 100th day, Yin Ruifei has read the letter written by Jin Yuan to Yin Haicheng and him on the way, and even bought gifts in the towns they passed through.
Yin Ruofei took one look at Jin Yuan's frantic appearance and quickly brought out the little nephew, fortunately, it really worked.
Jin Yuan covered his face in pain, he didn't want his son to follow him to death, nor did he want to implicate the whole family, but he was even more reluctant for his younger brother to suffer such harm at a young age, let alone that Yin Ruofei would be marrying into their family in just one month, ruining her entire life.
"Big brother, actually the king is very good to me." Yin Ruofei saw that Jin Yuan had finally agreed to listen to him, and he helped the person sit down on a chair at the side, saying bit by bit about the past events of their relationship over the years. "He treats me sincerely, I also love him, and I don't mind being a male wife."
"Is what you're saying true? Is he really willing to do that for you? Aren't you being forced? Are you afraid of implicating your family, so you're putting on a brave face?"
"No, big brother, do you think I'm pretending to be happy?" Yin Ruo Fei smiled slightly, he really felt very happy now. Compared to his previous life, he didn't know how much happier he was, the people around him, those he cared about, were all genuine towards him.
"It's just that it can't be seen as forced, but since you and he are both men, what will you do if he abandons you in the future?"
"Big brother!" Yan Ruo Fei suddenly had a playful heart, and tears welled up in his eyes. "If that Zhe Wang abandons me, will you still recognize me as your little brother?"
"What are you talking about? You'll always be my little brother. If Zhe Wang doesn't want you, I'll take care of you for the rest of your life, don't worry. Forget it, just forget about him!"
"Hmm..." The king specifically ordered him to come to the Hou Mansion to kill.
It's not easy to coax Jin Yuan, and Yin Ruofei went to the old lady again. In this mansion, except for the master Yin Haicheng, it was the old lady, and others such as aunts and concubines couldn't be mentioned in front of Yin Ruofei, even Chen Shi didn't have the qualifications to intervene in this matter.
But the old lady was different. She had been looking forward to her golden grandson growing up, how could she blink and get married? She was still waiting for this son to marry a wife and have children, four generations in the same hall. Although there were already two grandsons at home, and Mrs. Yang, the third young lady, was also pregnant again, but those were all born out of wedlock, and the old lady wanted to see her own legitimate great-grandson.
The old lady's troubles were more troublesome than Jin Yuan, mainly because the old lady was older and couldn't be rushed or frightened. This put Yin Ruofei in a difficult position. Just as he was struggling, a servant came to report that someone from Ze Wangfu had brought something over.
Yin Ruofei hastily let someone in, but found that the person delivering things was actually Ze Wang himself.
"Master uncle, you..."
Rong Jingze gave a glance to his little wife, knowing that in the Hou Mansion, Yin Haicheng was easy to deal with, but this old lady was not easy to handle, wasn't he taking personal action now?
Rong Jingze was normally very arrogant, and even Yin Ruofei had never seen him say more than a few words to anyone outside of the Twenty-Eight Guards. Yet, he was speaking eloquently, subtly flattering the old lady with every word, making her face, which had been stern, break into a smile despite herself.
"What a wonderful skill!" Yin Ruofei couldn't help but praise as they left Lao Furen's Fushou Temple.
After all these years, even his several brothers had not been kept by the old lady to eat a meal, this Ze Wang came out, not only did he make the old lady show a smile, but also got treated to a meal.
To know, knowing he is Ze Wang afterwards, the old lady's face sank so much that it was about to rain, but unexpectedly it cleared up quickly with many clouds, and the sun came out.
"It's the same with mothers-in-law, elderly people are like that, just humor them."
Day after day, although Yin Ruofei returned to the Hou Mansion, she still met with Rong Jingze every day, coaxing Old Lady into a happy mood and managing to get a free meal in the process.
The old lady was more and more fond of Rong Jingze, and she couldn't wait to marry her grandson off to him immediately, making Yin Ruofei a bit jealous.
Among them, Yin Ruofei had sent Rong Jingze out several times with a full stomach, only to run into Jin Yuan on his way back. Jin Yuan glared at him fiercely and said in a stiff tone that unmarried couples couldn't meet before marriage, asking the prince to restrain himself.
Rong Jingze naturally is... Pretending not to have heard, he continued his daily routine of arriving on time, bringing gifts for the old lady, either pastries from the palace or some trinket made by the imperial workshop.
The above several troublesome things have been settled, and basically there are no big problems anymore.
In the Hou Mansion, women are now speechless. With Chen Shi present, everyone is being cautious and dare not speak much. Moreover, their status is too low, if they dared to discuss this matter, it's not impossible that they would be sold off by Chen Shi directly.
Jin Hong, Jin Ming and Jin Qin, the three brothers, had long regarded Yan Ruofei as a horse that flies first. No matter what decision Yan Ruofei made, in their eyes, it was all deeply meaningful and not something ordinary people could see through. As for this matter, the attitude of the three was very resolute, firmly supporting Yan Ruofei, whether she married or not, even if she married the prince...
The only discordant voice was Jin He. He had always disliked Yin Ruofei, and when he learned of this matter, he was overjoyed that Yin Ruofei had been married off to someone else.
But amidst this admiration and envy, I just can't figure out what's so great about Yin Ruofei. She's doted on by her parents and grandparents, and to top it all off, she was even favored by the prince and married into his household - it's simply unfair.
Jin expressed his jealousy by using all sorts of sharp and vicious words to insult Yin Ruofei. Yin Ruofei was naturally not polite, and immediately beat him up badly. Anyway, the two had a huge difference in their skills, so Jin basically ended up being beaten on the ground.
Yin Ruofei left, and Jin Hong's three brothers suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
They were all loyal to Xiao Fei, and had just happened to pass by when they heard Jin He say those words, getting so angry that they almost rushed out to beat him up. However, Jin Qian was more cautious and held the two back, sparing Yin Ruofei from embarrassment.
After Di Yun and Fei flew away, the three of them cautiously came out, a flurry of punches and kicks.
Don't look at Jinming and Jinqin, who are both weak scholars, they keep hitting people. Lao San Jinhong has suffered outside and his strength is not small. This year, he has been in the military camp, and his fist and footwork have made great progress, kicking Jinhe to almost no energy to shout.
