Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

1297 The Best Of Both Worlds

“Don’t worry.
With my good looks, I’ll definitely find the right person.
You, on the other hand”—Lin Qingyuan looked him up and down disdainfully—”are already so old, yet you’re still single.
I doubt you can find a woman within half a month.”

Long Xuan almost exploded with rage.

Him, old? He was only twenty-one!

His fury escaped him in the form of a laugh, and gritting his teeth, he snarled, “Then you’d better hope I do, or you’ll end up having to marry me.”

Lin Qingyuan was horrified by his threat.

It must be an unlucky day on the calendar; what else could possibly explain how she had gotten into this wretched situation?

She should have checked the almanac before coming to the palace.

She looked at Lu Liangwei pleadingly, hoping she could stick up for her and, in the best scenario, persuade the Emperor to revoke his order.

Lu Liangwei was also startled by the Emperor’s decision.

At the sight of Lin Qingyuan’s defeated expression, she finally came to herself.
Clearing her throat, she said with grave sincerity, “Qingyuan, you’ve got to understand the Emperor’s predicament too.
Your father already brought this matter to him, so he’ll have to give your father an answer eventually.
I, for one, think this is a good idea.
Half a month is neither too long nor too short—it’s enough buffer time for you.
If you really don’t want to marry each other, you’d better do everything you can to find the right person within that given time.
If you succeed, you’ll get to marry the person you like, and you won’t have to marry each other either—you’ll get the best of both worlds!”
