- Chapter 419 - Extra 2 Story: Wei Luo Chasing His Wife (Wu Luo + Yin Hui time travelled back together)
After talking with Yin Yong about the war’s progress and expressing regret over the failed marriage proposal, King Yan instructed Hai Gonggong to escort Yin Yong out.
Once Yin Yong departed, King Yan smiled and turned to his son, who had been silently observing the exchange.
“It’s alright if you didn’t succeed in your proposal. Later, I will personally select a noble girl from a renowned family in Jinling for you.”
Wei Luo met his father’s gaze and declared, “Your son will only marry someone from the Yin family.”
King Yan raised an eyebrow, puzzled. “She didn’t even accept your proposal when you went in person. Why would you want to marry someone who shows no interest?”
Wei Luo lowered his eyes and replied, “She is exceptional. It’s because your son hasn’t shown enough sincerity.”
King Yan found himself perplexed by his son’s behavior. He had initially believed that his third son would be the easiest to understand, but now he found himself entangled in his son’s love affair.
“Well, what do you plan to do now?” King Yan inquired. Both father and son had made marriage proposals, yet it seemed futile. King Yan couldn’t fathom what else his son could possibly consider.
Wei Luo remained silent for a moment before replying, “I’ll take it step by step.”
If she refused, he would inquire about her reasons. Ultimately, he wouldn’t allow her to marry anyone else.
King Yan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Step by step?
While King Yan never forced women into relationships, and all his wives and concubines willingly followed him, he couldn’t help but hear about foolish actions committed by some men.
Although his third son didn’t exhibit any traits of recklessness, King Yan still emphasized, “If you insist on marrying her, I won’t interfere. However, you must proceed with caution and refrain from using your status to mistreat others.”
Wei Luo agreed and left. However, he still had an errand to attend to. Not long after returning to Chengxin Hall in the evening, both his eldest brother and second brother arrived.
Wei Yang and Wei Yan had just heard that King Yan intended to arrange a marriage between Wei Luo and the daughter of the Yin family.
Wei Yang took a sip of wine and comforted his younger brother, saying that this was to share the worries of their father, and it was a credit. He advised Wei Luo not to think too much about it.
Wei Yan, on the other hand, took a sip of his wine and said enviously, “I heard that the Second Lady of the Yin family is the number one beauty in Pingcheng. The Third Brother is really lucky.”
Wei Luo looked at his two elder brothers and simply drank with them silently for a while without saying a word.
After seeing the two off, Wei Luo went to the backyard of Chengxin Hall.
This backyard had originally been prepared for his future wife, and when the marriage was formally settled, all the furniture in the backyard would be bought new.
Standing under the eaves of the corridor, Wei Luo could see her and Wei Heng everywhere.
When Wei Heng was just learning to walk, she would hold his armpits with both hands, and both of them would laugh. But as soon as he approached, she didn’t dare to laugh so freely anymore, nor even look directly at him.
Wei Luo entered the inner room, where there was currently only an ordinary canopy bed.
Sitting on the bed, Wei Luo touched the bed board with his hand, memories of their time together flooding his mind.
In the beginning, when they were first married, she didn’t dare to respond to him. But as they grew closer, though she remained timid during the day, she became passionate at night.
Wei Luo gradually clenched his fists.
He still couldn’t believe that Yin Hui would refuse to marry him. Fourteen-year-old Yin Hui lacked the courage and didn’t have any reason to refuse.
Perhaps it was the influence of the second branch of the Yin family?
In his previous life, just after they got married, the second branch of the Yin family spread rumors to tarnish her reputation.
Wei Luo didn’t know what Yin Hui had been thinking at the time. In the Yan Palace, his father inquired if he wanted to marry the other Miss Yin. But because of his insistence, Yin Hui had gone through with the marriage as planned.
Could it be that this time someone from the second branch of the Yin family was reborn and threatened Yin Hui with her reputation, or even with Yin Yong’s life in advance, thus making Yin Hui too fearful to marry?
The more Wei Luo pondered, the more he felt that this conjecture was closest to the truth.
Therefore, it was still necessary to meet with her first to dispel her worries. Only then would she dare to proceed with the marriage.

Yin Yong secretly sent two million taels of silver to the Yan Palace at night.
Donating silver was indeed a benevolent act. When news of it spread, everyone would praise Yin Yong. Simultaneously, they might feel that King Yan owed a debt to the Yin family. Some might even criticize King Yan, speculating that he resorted to unsavory methods to coerce the Yin family into surrendering the silver.
If it were to come to that point, Yin Yong would undoubtedly become a thorn in King Yan’s eyes.
Furthermore, Yin Yong genuinely believed that King Yan was a benevolent ruler. He understood that King Yan needed funds for governance and even considered marriage as a form of compensation to the Yin family. If another were in power, they might have either selfishly coveted the Yin family’s wealth or simply disregarded their needs altogether. Therefore, Yin Yong couldn’t fathom how King Yan could be accused of wrongdoing when his intentions were genuinely noble.
Hence, Yin Yong chose to quietly donate the money without seeking recognition. He forbade his family from speaking about it. After all, if the Yin family remained silent, there wouldn’t be rumors about King Yan seeking money from a wealthy businessman, which could tarnish his reputation.
After the donation, the marriage proposal was abandoned. Except for those directly involved from the Yin family and the Yan Palace, the people of Pingcheng remained unaware of the almost-established alliance between the two families.
However, discord arose within the Yin family.
Yin Rong had dreamt several times of marrying into the Yan Palace and becoming a noble wife. Yin Jingshan and his wife were also eagerly anticipating their daughter’s marriage. Yet, Yin Yong suddenly summoned them and announced the cancellation of the marriage, stating that there would be no further discussions on the matter.
How could the second branch of the Yin family endure such a blow to their aspirations?
