12: Chapter 12 It's time for you to make your move, Mom.

Yuan Chen and his father, Yuan Ji, looked at each other in dismay.

After a long while, Yuan Ji asked in a low voice.

"What is going on with your mother?"

Yuan Chen spread his hands.

Who knows!

He had intended to tell them both, and then go find a few more beautiful girls.

He still had many fixed-target pills in his possession.

He needed to use them all up before the second child was born to maximize efficiency.

However, outstanding Young Misses from official families were not just wandering the streets.

He had been planning to ask his mother to help him inquire more after she entered the palace tomorrow.

He hadn't even had the chance to say it before she vanished.

However, when she left, she said she would help him find a wife, and he hoped she wouldn't go back on her word.

Since the matter was over, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

"Father, since we just arrived in the Imperial City, I am going out for a walk."

"Hmm."

With Yuan Chen's strength, there was nothing to worry about here.

After saying this, Yuan Chen walked straight out of the mansion.

Relying on oneself is better than relying on others; he might as well go out and see for himself. Perhaps he would get lucky and find someone he liked?

On the other side, as soon as Luo Li left, she flew to Luo Tian's residence.

"Sister, are you ready?"

Seeing Luo Li's figure, Luo Tian asked with a smile, although he was somewhat puzzled.

"Don't ask about useless things. Come in quickly, I have something to tell you—good news!"

Luo Tian had never seen his sister act so uncomposed, so he didn't dare delay and immediately sat down in the room.

"Sister, go ahead."

Luo Li adjusted her mood and looked at Luo Tian with burning eyes.

"Xiao Tian, do you know that the Dragon Clan finds it very difficult to reproduce?"

Luo Tian nodded. Since Luo Li was married into the Dragon Clan, he was naturally aware of this.

Luo Li, who had just calmed down, became excited again.

"But just now, I discovered that Chen'er does not have this concern. He married two wives, and both became pregnant shortly after marriage."

"Furthermore, although the grade of the child born previously is somewhat uncertain, I am certain it must be a Divine Beast."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian stood up in shock.

His aged skin quivered as he rose.

But his eyes became increasingly bright.

"So, Xiao Tian, I was thinking..."

Luo Li said coyly.

"What are you thinking?"

Luo Tian stared at his sister excitedly, his expression even carrying a hint of encouragement, hoping his sister would quickly continue.

Glancing at her brother, Luo Li said with some embarrassment.

"So, I was thinking, could we betroth Xinyi to my son?"

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, Luo Tian agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Xiao Tian, listen to me... hm?"

Luo Li, who had intended to explain, realized what happened halfway through.

"Sister, I said this is fine!"

Seeing his sister silent, Luo Tian responded again.

He had already had this thought when he first saw Yuan Chen.

The other party was a Divine Beast; if Xinyi could truly marry into the Dragon Clan and receive their resource assistance, he believed she would immediately become the new pillar of support for the Family.

Although Luo Li was his sister, she only retained a sliver of familial affection for him.

His Lifespan was already running low; once he was gone, would Luo Li really take care of his descendants?

But Xinyi was different.

Xinyi's parents were still here, and her friends were still here.

If the Family was in trouble, she would definitely return.

Even if Luo Li didn't come, he had planned to bring this matter up with her.

Once Luo Li arrived and mentioned that Yuan Chen had no difficulty with reproduction, the restlessness in his heart grew even stronger.

Moreover, his children and Luo Li's children were only cousins.

Not to mention their descendants; their blood relation had long since faded to the point where it didn't need to be considered.

Therefore, as soon as Luo Li mentioned it, he agreed without hesitation.

His eagerness caught Luo Li off guard.

She had originally felt it was difficult to bring up, but she hadn't expected him to be even more anxious than she was.

In truth, she still cherished her feelings for the Family.

In any case, her son had to marry a wife.

Naturally, she should prioritize her own Family.

If the Family could obtain a Divine Beast descendant because of this, she would be able to answer to her deceased parents.

"So that's… it?"

"Ask Xinyi; if she has no objections, we will pick a good day and hold their wedding before the National War begins."

The National War was not a game.

The families of all the nobles and officials, as well as the common people of the losing side, would all have to await the judgment of the victors.

No outsiders were allowed to intervene.

Of course, if the outsider was powerful enough to change the rules, that was a different matter.

However, this was also directed at the members of both nations.

If the hired help could show mercy, both sides would show restraint.

Those who went out would all have some background.

If they truly failed.

By then, if Luo Xinyi were married to Yuan Chen, she could escape a fatal disaster.

"What are we waiting for? They can marry in a few days."

Luo Tian, however, shook his head and said eagerly.

"We still need to see Xinyi's attitude."

Luo Li refused.

"She will definitely agree."

But no matter how Luo Tian tried to persuade her, Luo Li ignored him.

In the end, Luo Li decided that she would let the two of them spend some time getting to know each other over the next few days.

Luo Tian did not dare to go against his sister's decision and could only agree helplessly.

The next day, under Luo Tian's instructions, Luo Xinyi took Yuan Chen to stroll around the Imperial City.

Three days passed.

Under Luo Li's witness, Luo Tian called Luo Xinyi before him.

Luo Tian did not beat around the bush and asked straight to the point.

"Xinyi, I plan to betroth you to Chen'er. What do you think?"

Luo Xinyi was stunned. No wonder she had been asked to accompany Yuan Chen alone for the past few days.

She was a very intelligent girl and immediately understood the Old Ancestor's intentions.

Moreover, after spending these few days with Yuan Chen, she felt that he was indeed quite good.

Like them, children of nobles had no choice in marriage.

Even if she didn't marry Yuan Chen, in a few years, she would be forced by the Old Ancestor to marry some prince or the son of another official whom she didn't know.

"I leave it entirely to the Old Ancestor's decision."

Luo Tian was overjoyed; she had not disappointed him. He looked at his sister excitedly.

"Sister, look, how about they get married in three days?"

Luo Li was surprised: "Is that too fast?"

"Not fast, not fast."

Waving his hand, Luo Tian said hurriedly.

Subsequently, without Yuan Chen's knowledge, the two decided on this marriage.

In the evening, Luo Li came to Yuan Chen's room.

"Chen'er, prepare yourself. You will marry Xinyi in three days."

Yuan Chen was dumbfounded. Was it really this hasty?

But the result was still good.

He nodded and agreed immediately.

Mother is awesome!

Three days later, the Luo mansion was exceptionally lively.

Many nobles and officials had rushed over.

Even the Old Ancestor of the Great Yan Dynasty brought the Emperor and several princesses and princes to show support.

An expert like Luo Li was definitely in the top tier among the reinforcements invited by the Great Yan Dynasty; they could not afford to be rude.

Yuan Chen, while offering toasts, walked to the table of the Emperor.

Looking at the two princesses who were stunningly beautiful.

His eyes lit up.

His gaze turned to Luo Li.

Mother, it is time for you to act again!
