- Chapter 418 - Extra 2 Story: Wei Luo Chasing His Wife (Wu Luo + Yin Hui time travelled back together)
As her grandfather’s figure faded from view, Yin Hui’s gaze shifted to a pot of autumn chrysanthemums on the verge of blooming.
With no need to marry into the Yin family and Wen Ruyue still unmarried, Wei Luo would happily marry his beloved cousin, wouldn’t he?
Fortunately, this matter had nothing to do with her; it was merely about spending money to avoid disaster.

Yin Yong returned to the front yard.
Upon seeing him, Wei Luo rose from the table to show his respect.
Yin Yong felt flattered; the respectful demeanor displayed by the usually stoic Third Master didn’t align with his cold exterior.
If he could convince Yin Hui, he deserved such courtesy. However, his little granddaughter had no intention of marrying at all.
Wei Luo regarded Yin Yong silently.
Yin Yong lifted his gaze, meeting the young man’s calm and imposing demeanor. Thankfully, he was old and could withstand the pressure.
After urging Wei Luo to sit back down, Yin Yong sighed deeply, expressing regret, “Third Master, I conveyed your proposal to Ah Hui, but she was greatly distressed, claiming she was undeserving. I have failed to honor your affection.”
If Wei Luo’s expression was cold before, upon hearing Yin Yong’s words, it turned even more icy.
Initially, his primary thought was disbelief—unwilling to accept that Yin Hui would reject him. Perhaps Yin Yong hadn’t even spoken to her?
“I want to hear it from her,” Wei Luo stated coldly.
Despite Yin Yong’s generally good temper, he frowned at this impolite request. While the Yin family might be commoners and Wei Luo the grandson of the Emperor, there was no justification for him to come to their door and intimidate them.
Yin Yong could endure many things, but when it concerned his beloved granddaughter, he refused to back down.
Bowing towards Wei Luo, he clasped his hands and pleaded, “Ah Hui is timid and truly unworthy of the Third Master. Please forgive me.”
Wei Luo pursed his lips, realizing that his request just now might have seemed like bullying.
He no longer insisted, but he had no intention of leaving.
Understanding his unspoken request, Yin Yong spoke, “Thanks to King Yan’s and the Third Master’s great kindness, we were willing to consider the marriage alliance with our Yin family. Unfortunately, my two granddaughters are not blessed. Third master, I wish to apologize to King Yan in person. Could you please introduce me? Additionally, I have another matter to discuss with King Yan.”
Recognizing the importance of Yin Yong’s request, Wei Luo suppressed his doubts for the time being and escorted Yin Yong back to the Yan Palace.
King Yan was in the Cunxin Hall, and upon learning of Yin Yong’s visit, he greeted him with a smile, as if the two families had already formed a friendly in-law relationship.
Yin Yong could only smile bitterly as he knelt before King Yan upon entering the palace.
King Yan glanced at his third son, who stood beside him expressionlessly, and asked curiously, “What brings you here, old man?”
Yin Yong proceeded to explain the situation.
No matter how delicately Yin Yong phrased it, King Yan understood that his youngest son desired to marry Yin Hui, but Yin Hui was unwilling.
This realization deeply upset King Yan. As the esteemed King Yan who selected his daughter-in-law, and with his outstanding third son, he couldn’t fathom why the daughter of the Yin family would refuse to give them a face.
Wei Luo, knowing his father well, sensed his imminent anger. He swiftly stepped forward, kneeling beside Yin Yong and lowering his eyes. “Father, since the Second Lady dares not marry your son, let this marriage be forgotten.”
King Yan let out a heavy snort before turning his gaze to Yin Yong.
Forget it. If the Yin family refused their generous offer, then they should bear the consequences.
“Since that’s the case, the old man can take his leave. Forgive me for not seeing you off,” King Yan stated coldly, turning away.
Yin Yong bowed his head to the ground, his voice unwavering. “The old man still has something to report to you, Your Highness.”
King Yan turned his back to him, replying, “Speak.”
Yin Yong spoke earnestly, “Last month, the Jing soldiers once again invaded our Great Wei border. Being of a timid nature, I have been plagued by frequent nightmares lately. Seeking peace of mind, I visited the temple to worship Buddha. That night, I actually dreamt of the Buddha. I knelt before him and implored blessings for the people of Wei Dynasty. However, the Buddha laughed at my confusion, stating that Daoyan relied fully on the frontline soldiers. If I sought answers, I should also ask those soldiers. Upon waking, I gained clarity. This is why…”
“My lord, it is thanks to your protection of the Yan’s safety over the years that I have been able to preserve some family wealth. Now, with another war at our border, I wish to donate two million taels of silver to support our valiant soldiers in Yan. I humbly request your assistance in this endeavor. My desire to serve the country is inspired by the Buddha’s kindness in my dream.”
Yin Yong’s sincere words dissolved the anger on King Yan’s face long ago. He turned around, supporting Yin Yong with both hands and said, “If all the wealthy businessmen in Yan were as clear-sighted as you, and dedicated to serving the country, why would the Jin soldiers not retreat?”
Yin Yong said humbly, “I dare not accept it. Gold and silver are material possessions, and I am merely doing what I can. However, King Yan’s dedication to the country is truly admirable. It is a blessing to the people of Yandi and to the Great Wei!”
King Yan smiled warmly, “The old man is truly remarkable. Rest assured, I will surely report your donation to the Emperor and request his reward.”
Upon hearing this, Yin Yong knelt once again, expressing his gratitude, “Your lordship’s kindness is deeply appreciated, but the silver I have is also amassed due to the peace within our realm. The Yin family has benefited from the nation’s prosperity, and it is only right to repay this blessing. If you were to publicize it, it would bring undue praise to our family, which we cannot bear. I implore you to spare my Yin family from such attention.”
King Yan pondered for a moment before remarking, “It’s regrettable to let such great deeds go unrecognized.”
Yin Yong responded firmly, “It’s not regrettable. With peace prevailing at the border, my Yin family can live and work harmoniously with the people of Yandi, and I can rest peacefully every night. That, to me, is satisfaction.”
At this point, King Yan dispensed with formality and smiled, “Very well, then I will extend gratitude to you on behalf of the millions of people in Yan.”
