Chapter 757: Only One Person

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“My father had a short life. He never had second thoughts, doesn’t have any strange children, and is loving with Mother.” He bowed and said sincerely and firmly, “I’m just an average person who is willing to imitate my father’s actions. I don’t want a harem of 3,000 beauties. I only want to be with one person for the rest of my life. Old Master, please fulfill my wish.”

If Yin Huaixi had imitated Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Jian, and made a poisonous oath that he wouldn’t have any clueless thoughts in this life, Old Master Xie wouldn’t have believed it at all.

It had to be known that it was precisely because Yang Jian had broken the oath that Empress Dugu had passed away from depression. After that, he had indulged himself too much, causing him to die of overindulgence.

However, Yin Huaixi had used the Yin family’s ancestor as a tool. Even with his father’s wisdom, the weight of this was obvious.

No matter what happened in the future, at least for now, Yin Huaixi was indeed 100% sincere. Old Master Xie did not know what to say.

Yin Huaixi did not think that he could gain Old Master Xie’s trust with just a few words. “No matter what I say, in Old Master Xie’s opinion, it’s just words.” He took out a letter and respectfully handed it to Old Master Xie. “Everything I said today will be in black and white. Old Master, please understand.”

Old Master Xie took the letter and unfolded it to take a look. It was indeed filled with the clear wishes of the Mingzong, Xianzong, and King Li of Zhou. It showed his determination to treat Little Yao’er wholeheartedly. In this life, he would only be with her. He even promised that he would treat his wife well. It was signed, and stamped with Yin Huaixi’s private seal and Yue Fei’s seal. It was obvious how sincere he was.

No one could find anything wrong with the contents of the letter. It was obvious that the person who had written the letter had thought it through before writing.

The world liked to swear to the heavens.

If they respected the Heavenly Dao, they naturally did not dare to go against it.

If they were disrespectful, this oath was equivalent to nothing.

The oath of the Heavenly Dao tested the human nature of the human heart and needed a lot of self control.

Very few people used their ancestors and parents to swear an oath.

Filial piety was the most important thing. One had to respect filial piety to be able to stand on the grounds of heaven and earth and walk whenever they wanted in the world. This was the basis of human nature. While restraining themselves, they had to be tested by the world.

If he disobeyed it, his reputation would be over. There were very few people in the world who could bear such consequences. Therefore, he was always cautious and did not dare to blaspheme easily.

When this piece of paper was taken out, Yin Huaixi had already cut off all his escape routes.

Old Master Xie had no reason or excuse to refuse. “Are you serious?”

Yin Huaixi lifted his clothes and kowtowed. “Old Master, please fulfill my wish. After Yao Yao’s mourning period, let’s officially discuss marriage.” Now, Old Master Xie had no room to refuse.

Before Old Madam Yu died, it was also a fact that she had given Yin Huaixi a token. The marriage was not fixed, but they had made an agreement. It was not appropriate for the Xie family to refuse immediately, so they insisted that this marriage did not count.

He had originally planned to use Little Yao’er to mourn for her grandmother for three years and delay the marriage for three years so that Yin Huaixi would retreat in the face of difficulties. It wouldn’t be considered breaking the agreement.

However, Yin Huaixi was not easy to fool. First, he used the sweet potatoes in the North as a threat. Then, he used his ancestral parents to move them with emotions and “tempt” them. After that, he did not do anything else. In for a penny in for a pound, he wrote in black and white, directly expressing his

“intent.”

At this point, the Xie family could no longer be vague about this marriage.

However, they couldn’t agree immediately.

However, Yin Huaixi was like a worm in his stomach, guessing his thoughts accurately. In the end, he said he would fulfill his wish and discuss marriage 3 years later. Then, he sent the ladder to his feet and asked him to go down.

After fulfilling Yin Huaixi’s wish, Yin Huaixi would be able to come and go from the Xie Residence openly and interact with Little Yao’er in the future.

Little Yao’er was still in mourning, so it was fine to discuss small matters.

However, the engagement still had to wait until the filial mourning passed.

Yin Huaixi did not force the Xie family to answer immediately. Instead, he agreed to the Xie family’s request. He wanted to use the excuse of delaying filial piety for three years to give the Xie family enough face.

But what about three years later?

Little Yao’er had long known Yin Huaixi’s identity. The two of them were close, but because of their front as “cousins”, she definitely did not expose him. There was still room for negotiation.

However, once Yin Huaixi confessed his identity to the Xie family and obtained their approval, Yin Huaixi would be interacting with a graceful lady if he met with Little Yao’er again. He would be a gentleman’s suitor.

The two of them had a foundation in their relationship to begin with. Three years later, the marriage was even more logical.

Old Master Xie was speechless. “For Little Yao’er, you’ve put in so much effort. You’re not vague at all.” Forget it. If he couldn’t reject this marriage immediately, with Yin Huaixi’s will, he would get what he wanted sooner or later. Why should the Xie family be the villain and make things difficult for Little Yao’er? “Just do what you agreed with Old Madam Yu previously!’ Everything Yin Huaixi did today was for Little Yao’er.

Little Yao’er knew his identity. The two of them had crossed the etiquette of men and women being on guard against each other. However, Yin Huaixi had never been able to talk about the open secret to address the elephant in the room. Instead, he had to get the approval of his elders.

He didn’t want Little Yao!er to be labeled as having an “infidelity”.

He clearly wanted to bring Little Yao’er back to the North, but he had taken a detour and let her return to her mother’s clan first because he did not want to let her suffer.

If he wanted to be with Little Yao’er, he had to be legitimate and magnanimous.

He wanted to ask for credit from the Imperial Court for Little Yao’er. He wanted the world to know about Little Yao’er’s kindness. Then, he would love her openly and marry her. It would be announced to the world.

Little Yao’er’s reputation had soared and she was admired by the world. In the future, no one would dare to surpass her.

The deeper the love, the deeper the plan.

Every step Yin Huaixi took paved the way for their future.

Yin Huaixi bowed respectfully. “Thank you, Old Master.”

Old Master Xie had a complicated expression. “Although I’ve fulfilled your wish, you’ll have to ask Little Yao’er about your marriage in the future. Whether it succeeds or not depends on Little Yao’er’s opinion. You’re on your own.”

Before Old Madam Yu died, she had handed the token to Yin Huaixi. She probably had the same intention.

Yin Huaixi was very scheming, but he was magnanimous in this matter. He did not dare to lie and only used the “token” to let the Xie family fulfill his feelings for Little Yao’er, but he did not manage to get the Xie family to fulfill this marriage.

At noon, the Xie Residence held a banquet to entertain Yin Huaixi.

Yu Youyao was filial and did not attend.

Yin Huaixi felt regretful, but he did not insist. He had specially come to visit his elders, so it was not appropriate for him to take the opportunity to meet Yu Youyao and ask Xie Jingliu to hand over a gift.

There was nothing special, but they were all specialties of Quanzhou, as well as some fresh fruits and food.

The Xie Residence naturally did not lack this.

However, Yu Youyao liked these things.

If something was lacking, it was the Xie family’s business. However, giving them a gift was meant to show his appreciation..
