Chapter 3437: Chapter 3438: A Promising Future

"Wait for us?"

Hearing his words, Prince Heng, who had been walking forward, immediately stopped in his tracks.

Uneasy, he lifted his feet again and went to stand by his cousin’s side like a guardian. Although he had been ill all these years, he still knew quite well what was happening in Jianan City.

Lately, this precious daughter of State Duke An had not caused Lin Changfeng any small amount of trouble!

"State Duke An, what business do you have with my cousin?" he asked coldly.

Surely this man wasn’t planning to speak up for Yuan Yingying in front of his cousin and try to match Lin Changfeng and Yuan Yingying into a pair, was he?

This old fellow really didn’t know his place. Did he truly think that precious daughter of his was a priceless treasure in everyone’s eyes?

After breaking off so many engagements and treating so many fine young men like a joke, Yuan Yingying’s reputation in Jianan City had long since been ruined.

Even if the families whose engagements were rejected did not hold as much power at court as State Duke An, they were still illustrious clans.

As for the current Yuan Yingying, even if she brought a dowry to paste money onto someone, which man in Jianan City would dare marry her?

If some man did marry her, and after she entered the household she took a fancy to another man outside, deciding her own husband was not as handsome and dashing...

Wouldn’t that bright green hat be firmly planted on his head?

Who would be willing?

"Your Highness Prince Heng, I..."

"State Duke An, let me be frank: since your daughter is so dearly cherished by you, then you should just keep her in State Duke An’s Mansion and continue to dote on her. In this Jianan City of ours, there truly isn’t a man who is worthy of her."

Not waiting for State Duke An to speak, Prince Heng cut in bluntly.

"As for Lord Lin, he is someone who will achieve great things in the future, a man who will devote himself to serving the court. How could he allow himself to be swayed by romantic entanglements? He really is unworthy of your precious daughter.

Let alone Lord Lin himself—even if this matter were taken to my imperial father, he would not agree either."

If his imperial father were actually willing to let Lin Changfeng marry Yuan Yingying, that would be the real oddity. Wasn’t Father afraid Aunt would rush back from the Illusion Continent and hack him apart?

That was her nephew, with such bright prospects ahead of him. How could he be ruined by Yuan Yingying?

"You..."

Hearing Prince Heng’s words, State Duke An was furious.

Although he himself did not approve of his daughter chasing after Lin Changfeng all the time, and had even been scolded twice by the emperor because of it...

But now, to have Prince Heng, a junior, say right to his face that his daughter was not worthy of Lin Changfeng—wasn’t that trampling his dignity? So what if Prince Heng was of the imperial clan?

How could the young people nowadays be so impudent?

"Your Highness Prince Heng..."

"Your Highness Prince Heng has misunderstood. My lord husband and I have come here precisely to apologize to Princess Sang and Lord Lin for the trouble we previously caused him."

Just as State Duke An was about to retort, Duchess An stepped forward and timely explained the situation.

Although she herself felt this was quite humiliating at the moment, so what?

If they allowed this matter to keep fermenting like this, the future of State Duke An’s Mansion would be in jeopardy. No matter what, they had to make things clear today.

"Ying’er, aren’t you coming over to apologize to Lord Lin yet? Haven’t you caused Lord Lin enough trouble already?"

Turning her head, she glanced at her daughter, who still did not dare come closer, and spoke loudly.

"I..."

At this moment Yuan Yingying did not dare come over at all. She opened her mouth, but had no idea what to say.
