Song Mingyi told Lu Shenxing about this matter. Lu Shenxing also went to see the old man several times, but was rejected every time.

This incident made everyone in the first house feel very unhappy.

Song Mingyi's spirit was inevitably affected, and it was not until Mu Xiaowan came to see her that she forced herself to cheer up.

"Xiao Wan, you're here. I saw your variety show on TV recently, and you performed really well! And I also want to congratulate you. Your number of fans has finally exceeded five million! Director Huang told me that you are particularly suitable to play the female lead in "Seventh Night" and he likes you very much!"

Director Huang is the director she has been working with over the years, and almost all of her works were shot by Director Huang.

The fact that Mu Xiaowan could gain his favor was enough to show her talent in acting.

Mu Xiaowan said: "In the star-studded entertainment industry, my small achievements are nothing. Mingyi, I should be the one thanking you."

"We are good sisters and a family, why are you being so polite to me?"

"Okay, I won't be polite with you then." Mu Xiaowan observed Song Mingyi's expression and said, "What happened? You don't seem to be in a good mood."

Song Mingyi covered up: "What can happen to me? I'm fine."

However, under Mu Xiaowan's gaze, Song Mingyi's expression gradually darkened. She sighed and said, "Something happened."

After a pause, Song Mingyi said, "I have a friend who died trying to save me. Xiaowan, I feel really guilty."

What made Song Mingyi even more uncomfortable was that Qin Xiao lost his life because of this, but Mr. Lu still chose to protect his second son.

This made Song Mingyi feel that Qin Xiao’s death was not worth it.

But she had no way of blaming anyone.

After all, she was willing to go to Yaowang Valley in the first place.

Mu Xiaowan looked at the sadness on Song Mingyi's face. She opened her arms, hugged her in her arms, and patted her back gently.

Mu Xiaowan said: "Ming Yi, I don't know what kind of past your friend had with you, but he is willing to sacrifice his life to save you. In his heart, your life is more important than his."

"He saved you because he wanted you to be happy, and he wanted you to live a good life in his place, instead of living in self-blame all day long."

"As for what you said about Grandpa Lu's abnormality... I don't have much contact with him, so I don't know what he really thinks in his heart."

"But I can actually understand him. No matter how vicious the Second House may seem to us, in his heart he is his blood-related son. It is normal for him to be reluctant to part with him and to protect him."

"But you don't have to rush. Since the second branch has evil intentions, they won't be at peace for long. I think it won't be long before they make trouble again. When the time comes, you can take the old man and catch them in the act. I believe that with the old man's wisdom, he will not protect him any more even if he is reluctant. Then you can take the opportunity to purge the Lu family!"

Song Mingyi laughed and said, "Our Xiaowan is really smart! After your analysis, I feel much more at ease. You are right, we were too impatient."

They always felt that since they had fought so hard and made such efforts to save Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu should stand on the same side with them and make the second branch get the punishment they deserved.

But he forgot that it was his child.

Every child is the apple of his or her parents’ eyes.

In fact, apart from Mr. Lu’s maintenance, the second branch has become a nobody.

After two major purges, the forces left behind by the second branch had been almost completely wiped out.

Song Mingyi's mood finally improved a little.

She touched Mu Xiaowan's face and said, "Our Xiaowan is really becoming more and more like a mistress of the house. Not bad, I really don't know who will be lucky enough to marry you!"

When Mu Xiaowan heard Song Mingyi's words, Li Xiao's face appeared in her mind.

The longing just welled up from the bottom of my heart.

She hasn't seen Li Xiao since he came last year...

Even though she kept telling herself that Li Xiao would help her because of Song Mingyi.

But her longing for him did not diminish at all.

On the contrary, as time goes by, it becomes a flood every night when it is quiet.

She really missed Li Xiao...

When Mu Xiaowan raised her eyes, she saw Song Mingyi approaching her.

Song Mingyi asked with a smile: "Xiao Wan, who are you thinking about so intently?"

Mu Xiaowan felt a little guilty: "No way! I'm not thinking about anyone!"

"Our Xiaowan has kept secrets from me! It makes me so sad..." Song Mingyi looked like she was about to cry.

Mu Xiaowan was a little anxious: "I really wasn't thinking about anyone! I was just a little distracted! Don't let your imagination run wild!"

After all, Mu Xiaowan didn't tell the truth to Song Mingyi.

She really couldn't stand it.

Ming Yi helped her so much, but she coveted his uncle...

No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't say such words.

Mu Xiaowan's thoughts were written all over her face. Song Mingyi smiled secretly in her heart and said deliberately, "Oh, you were distracted! I thought you were thinking about my uncle! He had such a miserable New Year!"

Hearing Song Mingyi suddenly mention Li Xiao, Mu Xiaowan felt a little guilty, but couldn't help asking: "Li, Li Xiao... I, I mean my uncle, how miserable is he? Did something happen?"

As she spoke, Mu Xiaowan's tone couldn't help but become a little anxious.

Whenever she thought that something might happen to Li Xiao, her heart felt like it was boiling in a frying pan.

"Yes! You also know that my uncle will be 46 after the Chinese New Year, which means he is definitely an old bachelor! You don't know how anxious my grandmother is about his marriage! My grandmother said that if he can't find a wife this year, she will kick him out of the house and never let him come back again!"

Mu Xiaowan clenched her hands at her side: "Yes, my uncle is already quite old. If he finds a suitable partner, he should get married. Grandma must have high expectations for my uncle's partner..."

Whenever she thought about Li Xiao getting married, her heart felt like it was torn in two.

Song Mingyi noticed Mu Xiaowan's expression and said, "I don't know if her requirements are high or not, but grandma called me and said that she was going to hold a matchmaking party for my uncle during the Lantern Festival, gathering famous ladies from various families in Beijing. This time, she will definitely choose a wife for my uncle."

"Is that so?" Mu Xiaowan repeated, unable to maintain the smile on her face.

Suddenly, Song Mingyi grabbed her wrist and said, "Xiao Wan, do you have any announcements these two days? If not, accompany me to the capital! Let's help my uncle choose a wife!"
