Lin Hansong shook his head and said, "I do not know myself; I only know that you have been awarded several times for your meritorious deeds."
"This was never disclosed publicly before, the matter of bestowing marriage upon Chen Yuan."
"But from what I understand of His Majesty, he must have his reasons for doing so."
"Just like the emperors of the past, bestowing marriage always served some purpose."
Lin Jixin pondered for a moment, guessing,
"Just as the former Emperor bestowed marriage on the Wu Family of Beizhi, making them dare not neglect the construction of Beixiong Pass."
"And afterward, the Wu Family got embroiled in the gold and silver case, implicating three Clans, from which they never recovered."
