269: Chapter 269 'The First Beauty'
After half a month of screening, Su Yingxue had already selected about a dozen candidates.
Every single one was a beauty with a score of 95 or above, possessing a good personality, character, Family background, and talent.
"Youqing, take a look at this." Su Yingxue picked up a portrait and handed it over.
Shen Youqing took it and her eyes lit up: "So beautiful."
"Right?" Su Yingxue smiled.
"This is Wang Shuyao of the Wang Family, a Fourth-Rank Perfection Martial Artist, known throughout the Imperial Planet as 'The First Beauty'.
"Of course, that title excludes the two princesses."
"The one next to her is her niece, Wang Yulan, also a Fourth-Rank Perfection, known as the 'Ice Beauty'. Both of them are peak grade."
Wu Qingya leaned over to take a look: "Truly beautiful."
Lin Qianxi also leaned over: "A bit inferior to Liuli, but already very good."
Su Yingxue nodded: "Liuli is a 99, these two are likely around 97 or 98. Although they can't compare to Liuli, they are already top-tier across the entire Empire."
She put the portraits away and stood up: "Let's go find Husband."
Lin Yun and Bai Ling had just finished Cultivating and were resting in the garden.
Bai Ling was sitting on a stone bench, holding a cup and drinking water, her little face flushed, with beads of sweat still hanging on her forehead.
Lin Yun stood beside her, helping her wipe away the sweat.
"Master, when will I be as powerful as the Mistresses?" Bai Ling asked.
Lin Yun said: "Don't rush. You have good talent, it won't be long before you catch up to them."
Bai Ling's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Lin Yun nodded: "Really."
Bai Ling laughed happily.
Su Yingxue walked over with the three women, holding a stack of portraits in her hand: "Husband, are you done?"
Lin Yun nodded: "Yes. What is it?"
Su Yingxue handed over the portraits: "Take a look, these are the ones I selected."
Lin Yun took them and flipped through them one by one.
Wang Shuyao, stunningly beautiful, with a gentle temperament and a touch of mature charm about her eyes and brows.
Wang Yulan, devastatingly beautiful, with a cold temperament and a hint of heroic spirit in her brows.
There were a few others, all proud daughters of heaven from various great families, outstanding in appearance and extraordinary in temperament.
Lin Yun was satisfied with what he saw.
Yingxue had a truly good eye, he was very satisfied with all of them.
"Who should I marry first?" Lin Yun asked.
Su Yingxue thought for a moment:
"Let's marry Wang Shuyao and Wang Yulan of the Wang Family first. I had a deep impression of these two at Liuli's coming-of-age ceremony, especially Wang Yulan, who was wearing a red dress at the time and was particularly stunning."
Hearing her say this, Lin Yun also remembered.
Wang Yulan had been wearing a red dress at the time, standing in the crowd, cold as frost, so beautiful that one couldn't look away.
Truly stunning.
"Alright." Lin Yun nodded, "Then we shall marry them first."
Bai Ling sat to the side, listening to the Mistresses' conversation, feeling curious.
She tugged on Lin Qianxi's sleeve and whispered: "Mistress Qianxi, are we getting two more Mistresses?"
Lin Qianxi smiled and nodded: "Yes, Ling'er is getting two more Mistresses."
Bai Ling thought for a moment, then looked at Shen Qingqiu not far away, suddenly feeling a bit shy:
"Mistress Qianxi, Mistress Qingqing was previously Master's teacher, and she later married Master, so can Ling'er also..."
Lin Qianxi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Of course you can. When you grow up, you can."
Bai Ling's eyes lit up: "Hmm, do I still need to grow up? Can't I do it now?"
The women heard this and all laughed.
Qiao Feifei walked over and rubbed Bai Ling's little head: "Ling'er, you are still too young. You have to be an adult to get married."
Bai Ling pouted, feeling a bit disappointed: "That's still a long time away..."
Su Yingxue smiled: "Not long. You are fifteen this year, in three years you will be an adult. Three years goes by very quickly."
Bai Ling counted on her fingers, three years, it didn't seem like that long.
She smiled again: "Then I will wait three years!"
Seeing her innocent and cute appearance, the women all couldn't help but laugh.
...
The news reached the Wang Family, and Wang Lan's world collapsed.
His Third Aunt, Wang Shuyao, and Fourth Sister, Wang Yulan, were really going to marry Lin Yun.
Not one person marrying, but two people marrying together.
Marrying the same man together.
Wang Lan sat in the study, his face pale with rage.
He remembered when he was a child, Third Aunt and Fourth Sister doted on him the most.
Every time he was wronged, they were the ones who stood up for him.
But now, they were going to marry his enemy.
"No, I must stop them!" Wang Lan stood up and rushed out of the study.
He found Wang Shuyao and Wang Yulan and tried to persuade them earnestly: "Third Aunt, Fourth Sister, you cannot marry him! He is not worthy of you!"
Wang Shuyao looked at him, her gaze indifferent: "Why is he not worthy?"
Wang Lan was anxious:
"He has married so many wives! More than twenty! And he is a country bumpkin from Minglu Planet, he doesn't meet the threshold of our Wang Family!"
Wang Yulan said coldly:
"How many wives he marries, what does that have to do with you? He is a Fertility Holy Body; the more wives he marries, the more beneficial it is for the Empire."
"As for the threshold, he is someone valued by the Ninth Princess, the husband of Princess Liuli, is that not enough?"
Wang Lan opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Wang Shuyao looked at him: "Are you trying to say that you like Princess Liuli, so you hate Lin Yun?"
Wang Lan's face turned bright red.
Wang Yulan sneered: "You like Liuli, but Liuli doesn't like you. She married Lin Yun and is living very well. What else are you unwilling to accept?"
Wang Lan couldn't speak.
Wang Shuyao sighed: "Xiaolan, let it go. Liuli is not yours, she never was."
Wang Lan lowered his head and didn't speak.
Wang Yulan looked at him: "If you dare to find people to deal with Lin Yun again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Wang Lan raised his head, wanting to say something, but met his Fourth Sister's cold eyes and swallowed his words back.
He knew that his Fourth Sister would do what she said.
...
On the day of the wedding, the Wang Family was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.
Wang Shuyao and Wang Yulan wore bright red wedding dresses, Phoenix crowns on their heads, and covered with Red Bridal Veils, being supported by maids as they walked out of the Wang Family gate.
Eight-bearer sedan chairs, gongs and drums blaring, ceremonial music playing, the scene was extremely lively.
Wang Lan stood at the gate, watching his Third Aunt and Fourth Sister board the sedan chairs, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
On his head, there were several bumps, and his eyes were also purple.
That was from being beaten by his Third Aunt and Fourth Sister a few days ago.
He had wanted to stop them from getting married, and then he was beaten up by the two again.
"Third Aunt, Fourth Sister..." Wang Lan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found he couldn't speak.
Wang Shuyao's Divine Thought voice reached his ears: "Stay at home properly, don't cause trouble."
Wang Yulan did the same: "I'll deal with you when I get back."
The sedan chairs were lifted, and the procession set off.
Wang Lan stood at the gate, watching the procession move further and further away, wanting to cry.
Their Wang Family is a wealthy and influential Family, yet his Third Aunt and Fourth Sister were willing to marry together just to get married sooner.
He really couldn't stand this kind of thing.
According to the rules of the Wang Family, when a daughter gets married, it must be done one by one, with grand displays and complete rituals.
But Wang Shuyao and Wang Yulan couldn't wait; they were afraid that Lin Yun would be snatched away by others, so they directly demanded to marry together.
The Wang Family Clan Chief couldn't win against them and had to agree.
