Chapter 46 The Artificial First Wife in Classical Chinese Texts 17

Yin Han received the painting the next day.

Compared to the beginning, his face looked much more haggard, and his thin body seemed to sway precariously in the wind.

Yin Han's life has not been easy since she was released from prison, especially these past few days.

I don't know what's gotten into Xu Yushu. Before, he was secretly monitoring him, but now he's being targeted more and more openly.

Not only was his money confiscated, but he was also barred from even entering a basic academy. He tried to find a way every day, but repeated setbacks made him realize that he was too weak and powerless to fight against Xu Yushu.

Including the beautiful woman he longed for.

Yin Han had no choice but to ask Li Mingbao for help. However, when he saw the painting, he immediately clenched the scroll tightly and turned pale.

"Is it that ruthless?"

The meaning conveyed by the scroll can be summarized in four words: barely able to save itself.

This was tantamount to extinguishing Yin Han's last hope. He stared fixedly at the painting, his expression dark and unfathomable, his whole body radiating a coldness that seemed to freeze people.

He will not give up. From the initial conspiracy to now, he has finally stepped into the public eye openly and honestly. No one can cut off his path to the imperial examination!

Thinking of this, Yin Han sneered, crumpled the scroll into paper, and set it on fire.

Then he turned and left, his back straight, with an indescribable resolve.

This scene was witnessed by Qingyu.

She was so bored that she started bothering the system to broadcast her gossip.

"I told you there would be a good show. Yin Han was definitely going to make a move on Li Mingbao." Qingyu clapped her hands and chuckled, looking smug.

The system looked completely bewildered. "His enemy is Xu Yushu, and Li Mingbao is his ally."

"That's what they say, but right now Li Mingbao can't secretly help Yin Han, since the latter got into trouble because of her..."

As Qingyu spoke, she shook her head, sighing deeply. "Yin Han is no good person. You can tell just by looking at him pretending to be a weak scholar. When it really matters, what wouldn't he do to protect himself?"

At this point, Qingyu became even more interested in Yin Han's background. "I don't believe his background is just like that. Don't you have some hidden story behind you?"

The system was startled. "You know about the hidden plot?"

Qingyu winked mischievously, "I guessed~"

In fact, Qingyu had thoroughly read the system space manual and memorized all the rules inside.

"No hidden plot! Don't even think about it!" The system rejected her outright, as if it had gotten angry, which only increased Qingyu's interest and suspicion.

She suspected that the system was hiding something, what her past was really like, and why it had been hiding it all this time.

Who injured her body like this?

The system remained silent on the various questions, and Qingyu had no way of knowing for the time being.

Fortunately, she was easygoing. Seeing that the system was unwilling to reveal anything, she didn't bother to say more and decided to continue monitoring the actions of others.

However, when Qingyu got up the next day, she heard the maids chattering about the "farce" that had occurred at the Li residence.

Qingyu loved to sleep in, and when she got up the sun was already high in the sky, it would soon be noon. So she subconsciously remarked, "Yin Han is really quick to act."

He then skillfully opened the surveillance video. I thought I wouldn't be able to see anything, but to my surprise, a long video clip had already been saved.

Qingyu smiled teasingly and looked at the system, which was huddled in the corner pretending to know nothing.

Tsk, it seems some systems are all bark and no bite, they're actually quite competent.

While stealing glances at Qingyu, the system felt uneasy and nervous.

It gets bored staying here all day, and besides, it's not just watching the show, it's actively monitoring the main characters' development!

Yes! It's correct!

One person's unification was unexpectedly harmonious. Qingyu opened the video and was greeted by a sea of ​​red.

At the vermilion gate of the Li family mansion stood a matchmaker dressed in fine clothes, holding a gift box in her hands, her face full of smiles.

Several servants followed behind, carrying boxes of gifts, forming a grand procession around the entrance of the Li residence.

Hearing the commotion, the neighbors peeked out, curiously looking around and whispering among themselves about the marriage.

Only the servants at the entrance of the Li residence looked completely bewildered.

"Who are you looking for?"

"We've come to propose marriage, and this is the betrothal gift." The matchmaker smiled and stepped back, showing the chest behind her to the Li family.

"Propose marriage? What kind of marriage proposal?" The servant at the door looked bewildered. No matter how lowly his status was, he had never heard of anyone in the Li family getting married recently!

"Of course, it's to propose marriage to your young lady. My young master and your young lady are in love," the matchmaker continued. She got all her information from Yin Han, and she was already feeling a little guilty.

But Yin Han gave her too much, so she felt she could take the risk!

"Mutual affection?" The servant stared wide-eyed in disbelief, instinctively retorting, "Don't talk nonsense! I'll report this to our master!"

"Go ahead, it's a good opportunity to discuss this. Anyway, my young master will only marry your young lady," the matchmaker said.

The servants rushed in to report that Li's father was not at home and Li's mother was unconscious, so the maids could only run to inform Li Mingbao.

The latter ran to the door with a mixture of surprise and doubt, and when she actually saw the marriage proposal party, her heart skipped a beat.

"Who asked you to come?"

The matchmaker sized him up and knew she had met the person in question. She immediately put on a smile, "I've come on behalf of Young Master Yin Han to propose marriage. Young Master Yin has a bright future ahead of him, Miss."

"What Yin Han?!" Li Mingbao interrupted the matchmaker with a shout, feeling so angry that she could hardly breathe.

Yin Han is her "subordinate," so why would he come to propose marriage?! She had no idea about this at all!

Seeing that the Grand Tutor's eldest daughter was angry, the matchmaker was also a little apprehensive.

To be honest, in all her years as a matchmaker, she had never seen anyone act like Yin Han. Instead of visiting and inquiring beforehand, she simply sent someone to deliver betrothal gifts to their door...

To put it bluntly, isn't this just shameless behavior?

But the money was all in the matchmaker's pocket; it was impossible to get it back. So, despite her fear, the matchmaker braced herself and said ingratiatingly, "Young Master Yin Han said that you two are mutually in love. You're already at the door, so why don't you..."

The rest of the words were self-evident, but they genuinely made Li Mingbao's face darken.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw another group of people approaching from not far away. The person in the lead had a smile on her face and was also dressed in a flamboyant manner. Unlike the people at the door, she only brought two servants and did not bring any gifts.

"Oh my, what wonderful news! What a joyous occasion!"

"Matchmaker Chen?! What are you doing here?!" Unexpectedly, the matchmaker who arrived first recognized the person in front of her, and interrupted Chen's words in astonishment, exclaiming in surprise.

Only then did Matchmaker Chen notice the strange group of people at the door. She was startled, turned her head to see who it was, and stared wide-eyed.

"Matchmaker Wu?! It's you?" Upon closer inspection of the other woman's attire and the people following behind her, Matchmaker Chen's eyelids twitched, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "You're here to propose marriage too?!"

Wait a minute! Why are so many people involved in the marriage proposal? This is clearly a scene reserved for the traditional six rites of marriage!

She immediately looked at Li Mingbao and asked cautiously, "You are... Miss Li? Are you already engaged?"

Matchmaker Chen was a little scared. This was the biggest match she had ever handled this year. Was she going to end up with nothing?

Fortunately, the next moment, Li Mingbao replied irritably, "What are you all talking about? When did I get engaged? And—who sent you?!"

Upon hearing this, Matchmaker Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a beaming smile, "I'm here on behalf of the General's Mansion. General Xu is in love with Miss Li and has come to propose marriage!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the matchmaker Wu next to her immediately became anxious, "Matchmaker Chen! We're all in the same industry, don't go too far. Miss Li and Mr. Yin are clearly a match made in heaven, don't play matchmaker and ruin someone's marriage!"

"I should be the one saying that to you. Miss Li has already said there's no engagement. What's with your attitude? Are you trying to force me into a deal?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"You're the one talking nonsense! I advise you to get lost!"

……

The two started arguing face to face, and soon a crowd gathered. Li Mingbao was already the subject of much gossip about Xu Yushu, and now that they had encountered such a bizarre incident, the discussion among the onlookers at the door became even more heated.

Li Mingbao felt his head spinning.
