It was rare for Xiao Bingyan to see Xiao Shi so angry, let alone to see her scolding someone in such a rage.

"Mother, what did the letter say?" Xiao Bingyan walked to Xiao's side and asked softly, knowing that it was because of the problem in the letter.

Xiao's heart was in turmoil, and it took a long while for her to calm down. However, the raging anger in her eyes had not completely subsided.

"Lian Xuexin had a good idea. She actually told your father that she wanted to hand Wei Bingru over to me and arrange a marriage with me as the legitimate daughter. This way, she could win over your father's friendship and relationships, which would also be beneficial to the entire Wei family in the future! I can really guess her intentions. She wants to use her daughter to brag about her own status. Don't even think about it!"

Xiao Bingyan had already made up her mind about this matter. Even her aunt had been trying hard to make her descendants gradually become the legitimate bloodline. However, she was never willing to admit her mistakes in front of her mother. She felt that as long as Wei Zhong nodded in agreement, her mother would have no reason to refuse.

Wei Bingru's trick was really smart. She didn't let Wei Longrui leak the information to her clearly. This was the place where Xiao received the information. If she hadn't discovered her thoughts, she might have thought that Wei Bingru was trying to forcibly take away her fate, and she would have hastily arranged a marriage for herself.

No! Xiao Bingyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She shouldn't have talked to Wei Zhong about this idea at this time. This idea of ​​Aunt Lian was encouraged by Shen Rouruo after she appeared.

"Mom, don't be angry first. This matter may not be true. Father has never mentioned it to you. Maybe Aunt Lian deliberately let someone leak such information." Xiao Bingyan frowned, feeling suspicious when she thought of what Wei Bingru had Wei Longrui leaked on purpose.

Such a legitimate child was a trap set by the mother and daughter. It was possible that Lian Xuexin had not mentioned this matter to Wei Zhong at all, and deliberately leaked it to Aunt Qiu. Aunt Qiu informed her mother solemnly, and her mother would oppose the idea of ​​Wei Bingru falling into her hands beside Wei Zhong...

In this way, it actually becomes a manifestation of the mother's narrow-mindedness.

"I think your father hasn't had the chance to tell you yet!" Xiao said coldly.

Xiao Bingyan tugged at Xiao's arm, with a faint smile on her lips, "Even so, what's wrong with my second sister becoming my mother's daughter?"

Xiao frowned and looked at her daughter, and asked confusedly, "What do you mean?"

"Father is now trying to win over people for the Crown Prince. Winning over people's hearts is nothing more than fame and wealth, but some people can be bribed with benefits instead of fame and wealth. If it is a marriage that can be beneficial... you only have me as your daughter, and you definitely won't let me become your father's pawn.

Since Aunt Lian is so thoughtful, why don't you go along with her wishes? Not only will your father praise you for your virtue, but Aunt Lian will also have a hard time doing anything weird. "Xiao Bingyan said softly, thinking it would be better to let it go and let Lian Xuexin and her daughter get what they want, and it would also help her avoid a lot of trouble.

She had no intention of repeating the same mistake and harboring resentment before, but Wei Bingru was the first to show her her intention, so she shouldn't blame her for returning the jade to her intact at the age of fifteen and sixteen!

Xiao was a smart person, and didn't think too much about it. Now, after hearing what Xiao Bingyan said, he immediately realized that something was wrong, "Bingyan, do you understand something?"

Xiao Bingyan gave a mocking and gloomy smile, "Mom, why do you think father came to Jinyun City at this time? Even Mr. Tang came with him, so of course it's not for us. I heard from A Rui that Wei Bingru once told Aunt Lian that father wanted to arrange a marriage for me. These words must have been deliberately made clear to us by the mother and daughter. So I feel that when father returns to Jinyun City, who knows who will marry someone for the benefit of a wealthy family..."

Xiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately said angrily, "Although Jinyun City is good, it is still a bit far from the capital. You are my only daughter, how can I be willing to marry you so far away? It will be difficult to see you in the future. Besides, who else in Jinyun City can compete with the family tradition of the Wei family?"

"Father has more than one daughter, but I am the only legitimate child. For the sake of the crown prince and the future, father will definitely do this." Xiao Bingyan said.

Xiao frowned and thought for a while, then she slowly opened her mouth, "Since Lian Xuexin wants her daughter to be in my hands, I nodded and agreed to her. She wants her daughter to marry into a good family, so I will help her make the decision. I want to see if she has the courage to say anything extra!"

Sometimes giving a person an honor does not necessarily mean greatly elevating that person. Xiao Bingyan, who had already died once, did not attach importance to her status in the Wei family at all.

Just give Wei Bingru whatever she wants.

But this time, it was impossible for her to be betrothed to the husband she desired like in her previous life.

"Mom, after all, we only heard this from others. We can't be sure and we can't act rashly." Xiao Bingyan reminded her, and she had to patiently test Wei Zhong's intentions first.

Xiao patted Xiao Bingyan's hand and said, "I will test your father's attitude first, so you can relax a hundred and twenty."

Xiao Bingyan calmed down in her heart, and slowly squatted down, leaning her head on Xiao's knees. Her tone was full of attachment and worry, "Mom, I just want to stay with you forever, and I don't want to get married!"

"Silly girl!" Xiao touched her head and gave her a kind smile.

However, it is not as easy as imagined to test Wei Zhong's words. It is not that Wei Zhong is unwilling to reveal it, but it is difficult for people who want to see him.

Except for the first night when he stayed in Xiao's house, he got up early and went to bed late in the following few days. Sometimes he even didn't come back all night. Even if he came back, he didn't go back to the inner house, but stayed in the study outside. The next day, when Xiao wanted to bring him breakfast, she found that he had already gone out with Mr. Tang.

This method would not work, there were always other ways. Over the years, Xiao had assigned a few people she trusted to Wei Zhong's side, and she just acted as the mistress of the Wei family.

After going through so much trouble, they finally waited until an opportunity came for Wei Zhong to stay at home. Unfortunately, he was chatting with Mr. Tang in the study, so Xiao called the servant who had followed Wei Zhong in and out in the past few days.

This servant is the nephew of Nanny Li and is considered to be a close confidant of the Xiao family.

"The old man has been meeting with the Marquis of Chu from time to time these days, and the Marquis of Chu's son will go to the building with Jiang Jingjie to discuss things tomorrow." Li Yong told Xiao about Wei Zhong's whereabouts these days, "and several adults, all of whom are wealthy and prestigious families in Jinyun."

"What did you talk about?" Xiao asked with a frown.

Li Yong had been bending his waist slightly, not having the courage to look directly at Xiao. "The old man asked me to wait outside, and I only heard from others that the old man and Lord Chu seemed to be planning to marry their children in the end..."

He paused halfway through his words, and when he saw Xiao's dark complexion beneath his eyelids, he couldn't help but sweating profusely.

And finally marry your children to the Duke of Chu?

Xiao smiled darkly in his heart, "That's all?"

"I will ask more for Madam." Li Yong said hurriedly. How could he know that his wife was suddenly interested in the old man's affairs outside? If he had known it earlier, he would have found out more.

However, there were some things he didn't want to say, but he was afraid of hurting his wife's feelings.

The old man runs to and from brothels every day. Can this be told about?

"You don't need to inquire about other things. It's not good for you to know too much. Just go and find out whether the old man really wants to marry Marquis Chu, and which girl he plans to marry." Xiao whispered.

Li Yong breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I know what to do, Madam, please relax a hundred and twenty."

"Go away." Xiao showed a tired expression and waved her hand to let Li Yong go back.

Xiao returned to the room and sat on the beauty couch silently. Seeing this, Xia Yuezhu and Xiao He walked lightly to the door, but did not dare to disturb her.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Yuezhu finally tiptoed in and said, "Madam, Madam Li is here."

"Oh, please come in." Xiao came to her senses and carefully concealed the gloomy expression on her face, and asked Xia Yuezhu to immediately welcome Mrs. Li into the house.

Because of Wei Zhong's arrival, she hadn't had acupuncture treatment for several days. The day before yesterday, Mrs. Li asked someone to ask her if it was convenient to continue the treatment, so she asked Mrs. Li to come today.
