Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Auntie Deng asked Ding Erman seriously: "Erman, what do you mean by that?"

Ding Erman looked at Aunt Deng hesitantly and said, "Cousin, tell me, if I marry my second cousin, will it be considered a closer relationship?"

Aunt Deng opened her mouth, but was speechless for a while because of her niece's straightforward words.

If it were the old days, it would be fine too.

But now... are Luo Zhan and Er Man still suitable?

Regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, Auntie Deng looked at Ding Erman from head to toe - as a niece, it didn't matter what she looked like or how she acted. As long as she wasn't too bad, it was fine.

But if you look at it as a daughter-in-law...

Aunt Deng felt a little dissatisfied.

To be honest, Ding Erman looks very average. Apart from the freckles on her face, her facial features are also very average.

First of all, in terms of appearance, they are not a good match.

Chen Huaniang is much prettier than Ding Erman.

But Luo Zhan is more handsome than Luo Yuan.

Let’s talk about doing things…Auntie Deng knows what happened a few nights ago.

She also knew Luo Zhan's temper. If he wasn't really annoyed, he wouldn't say harsh words easily, let alone waste food.

That night, the little maid cried after eating that bowl of noodles. Ding Erman didn't want to waste it, so she took the remaining half bowl and ate it herself.

Then I was so full that I walked around the yard for half the night and couldn't lie down anymore.

As they have all experienced hunger, Aunt Deng knew that Ding Erman had lived a hard life.

But feeling distressed is one thing, and doing things that annoy people is another.

Moreover, Auntie Deng had eaten the food cooked by Ding Erman, and it was true...she was reluctant to add anything. She was reluctant to add oil, salt, but she added a lot of rice and noodles - it was said to be noodle soup, but in the end it was almost a bowl of dry noodles.

How to eat?

Aunt Deng felt anxious when she thought that her son would only be able to eat such meals when he returned home.

So, she said to Ding Erman very straightforwardly: "Don't even think about it. I can't make the decision for him. Why don't you go back and take a look? You can't just ignore the farmers in the fields."

Ding Erman's eyes were red: "Cousin, are you chasing me away?"

Aunt Deng was silent for a moment. "You are a girl, living here with me will easily cause gossip. I can't harm you."

Ding Erman ran back to her room crying.

Aunt Deng just felt a headache.

But he still called someone: "Go to the countryside and ask Hua Niang to pick up Er Man."

The servants took the order and left.

When Luo Zhan came back in the evening, he learned about what Aunt Deng had done and praised her for a rare moment: "Mother is wiser than before."

Aunt Deng glared at Luo Zhan fiercely: "It's all your fault! I was planning to find a husband for Erman in the city!"

"Not suitable." Luo Zhan said succinctly while eating: "She is not smart, ambitious, and does not act right."

How could a woman deliver food to a man’s room in the middle of the night?

Aunt Deng sighed, "She was just hungry. She saw that we were doing well, so she wanted to stay with us. She was afraid that if something happened in the future, she might starve to death at any time."

"Besides, she is the only one left in the family and there is no one to teach her. How can we expect her to be sensible?"

Aunt Deng sighed again as she spoke: "I wanted to teach her a lesson. But she has such a mind, so I can't keep her."

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, both of them will be ruined.

Poor niece, but you can’t joke about your son’s innocence!

Aunt Deng thought about it and suddenly lowered her voice: "I saw Madam Lu the other day. She looked gentle and kind. How about -"

Luo Zhan put down the bowl, stretched his neck to swallow the rice, and refused expressionlessly: "No. I don't like it."

Aunt Deng continued: "If you don't like that, how about Luo Li? Luo Li is not bad either."

Luo Zhan wiped his mouth, put the handkerchief in his arms, stood up and left: "No way."

Auntie Deng was so angry that she stared blankly: "You still want to marry a fairy!"

Luo Zhan was very calm: "It won't work even if a celestial being comes now."

After saying that, he really left.

Aunt Deng pointed at the door, but before she could even curse out loud, her chest ached even more due to anger.

The next day, Chen Huaniang came and took Ding Erman away.

When Chen Huaniang went to deliver food to Xie Wanqing, she mentioned it and Xie Wanqing was a little surprised.

She and Hongyu sighed, "Your Aunt Deng is really decisive. With a mother-in-law like her, there will never be any chaos in the family."

After saying this, she couldn't help but feel envious: I wish I could be so decisive.

Hongyu also nodded: "Our family is not bad either. Mom, don't envy others. Our family doesn't have those troubles either."

So there is no need to be decisive.

Besides, there is still her.

In the past, she was a maid, and it was difficult for her to speak up. But now...if something like this happens or someone comes up to her, she can just open her mouth and pout back!

When Luo Zhan came over at night, he brought a piece of news: the person who sold the snakes had been found. He was a professional snake catcher.

But the bad news is: the snake catcher's entire family died, including his three-year-old grandson.

The reason why they were sure that the snakes were sold by his family was because his family was murdered.

After hearing the news, Xu Yun spoke for a long while: "It's too cruel."

Even three-year-old children were not spared.

Luo Zhan was not so compassionate: "The snake catcher should have thought of this when he sold it. He was greedy. Don't blame others."

After a pause, he drank a cup of tea before continuing, "Now the clue is broken."

Xu Yun was not surprised: "That's normal."

"I have spread your message." Luo Zhan raised his lips and said, "It depends on whether there will be any reaction next. This time, the two emperors are also very angry."

"After three days, there will be a result. If there is no result, someone will lose their head."

Xu Yun raised his eyebrows, suddenly feeling expectant.

Three days passed quickly.

But the most important thing of this day is the announcement of the results.

As usual, Chen Ku got up early in the morning and was ready to go and check the list.

Then he discovered that Wang Li got up earlier than him.

Because he just got up, but Wang Li came over.

The two looked at each other, Chen Ku gritted his teeth, and made up his mind to get up two quarters of an hour earlier next time!

Then, the two of them rushed to take the bus next door - and it was Ashu who took them there.

This way you can get the news faster!

As for Xu Yun, there’s no need to go out. Just wait at home.

Gao Yu went home when Xu Yun entered the examination room, and she did not come back today. She wanted to go to the place where the results were announced in person, saying that she would come back after checking the list.

Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu also went to see the list.

Then, the three of them met at the crowded place where the results were announced.

Gao Yu was a little nervous, "I wonder if Ah Yun can pass."

Zeng Wuji said with a bitter face: "Ah Yun should be fine. On the contrary, I feel like I have no hope, but my family insisted that I come."

Zhao Mu was quite calm: "It's okay, we'll know in a moment. Look, the list is posted!"
