The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 469 - 479 Their Plan

Uncle is certainly blessed in his marriage.

Auntie’s face didn’t look too good as she stood up to shoo them away, but she softly said, "All right, all right, it’s cold in the wind, better to have your cousins come inside first. These children, knowing they have a cousin coming, were so excited everyone got up early!"

One of the maids next to her said, "Madam, the eldest miss was so excited she didn’t sleep all night."

"You talk too much!" Lin Qianqing tapped the little maid’s head.

Lin Xingyi laughed heartily and said, "Your aunt is right, everyone is indeed very happy to know you’re coming. But it’s cold outside, and Youyou isn’t in the best of health, so let’s go inside first."

"Okay, Uncle!" Gu Youyou was invited into the Lin Family’s home as an honored guest; Jin Zijin stood far away by the carriage, and as she stepped over the threshold, Gu Youyou paused and looked back at him.

"Youyou, what’s wrong?" Madam Lin asked.

Gu Youyou slightly curtsied towards Jin Zijin and said, "Thank you, Taoist, for accompanying me on this journey!"

This was what they had agreed upon on the road.

Under Gu Youyou’s persistent questioning, he revealed why he could not be a candidate for State Preceptor.

Because a State Preceptor, like his master Tian Jizi, leads a life similar to a monk and cannot marry.

If Jin Zijin were to vie for the position of State Preceptor, he would have to give up Gu Youyou, which was one of the reasons he hadn’t touched her.

Ten days earlier

Gu Youyou asked, "If you don’t compete for State Preceptor, whom will Tianzong choose?"

Jin Zijin replied, "Ajing would be the most suitable. I’ve already sent him a letter asking him to hurry to Beijing. If he rides and takes the eastern route, he won’t be much slower than us."

Gu Youyou chuckled bitterly and said, "If you put it that way... I feel that if you don’t enter the competition, Tianzong’s chances of winning are zero."

Jin Zijin’s eyes darkened slightly, he looked at her with a bit of heartache.

"I am already married," he said.

Gu Youyou shook her head and asked, "Does Marquess Yue know?"

"Marquess Yue?" Jin Zijin looked at Gu Youyou somewhat puzzled.

Gu Youyou said, "Does Marquess Yue know you intend to compete for State Preceptor?"

Jin Zijin understood her words now, pondered for a moment, and said, "He doesn’t know!"

Gu Youyou chuckled bitterly and whispered to herself, "No wonder." Marquess Yue knew he was married but didn’t stop him, whereas Yue Rujing had a lot of objections.

"You should go!" Gu Youyou said.

Jin Zijin’s expression darkened further, and he reminded her again, "I am already married."

"But you have never touched me." Speaking of this made Gu Youyou somewhat distressed as she said, "We didn’t even worship the heavens and earth when we got married. Apart from my identification being with you, how could we seem like husband and wife? We lack both the name and the reality of marriage. So... you have never really given up. Before, you said that when it was time to come to Beijing, you were not afraid of that old Taoist, you just hadn’t figured out how to settle me, right?"

Jin Zijin was stunned, his long eyelashes fluttering as he looked at Gu Youyou with increasing sadness.

"Youyou!" he gently pulled her into his arms, letting her lean against him, and said, "You’re right, I hadn’t figured it out. But now I have. Let Ajing do it, I will support him with all my might."

"That’s not good!" Gu Youyou pushed him away and said, "The State Preceptor cannot marry, but Yue Rujing is the lifeblood of the Yue Family. If he doesn’t marry, wouldn’t the Yue Family be left without a successor?"

With the situation in the Yue Family, if Yue Rujing did not carry on the family line, those women would surely fight them to the end.
