Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Xie Lin was not very satisfied with the result, but when he saw Xie Zhan, who had been hiding his head and sighing, shook his head, it seemed that Zhan was unwilling.

"Brother Shi, today you said in front of me and in front of everyone that you wanted to marry Sister Ning. If you betray her in the future, this old man will never forgive you." Xie Lin said sternly with a straight face and the air of a head of the family.

Xie Shi bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, for your help."

Xie Lin, "Although Sister Ning lives in the Xie family, she still has to follow the proper etiquette and ceremony when getting married.

"Old Master's Wife, although Shi Ge'er is not your biological child, you are his nominal mother. You should take care of finding a matchmaker and going through the six rituals. Don't let anything else cause trouble."

Feng Shi had to agree no matter how reluctant she was, "Yes, Dad."

At this time, Li Yuening stood up and knelt beside Xie Shi, "Grandpa Xie, Yuening wants to keep everything simple. As for the reason, I will tell Grandpa Xie later."

Li Yuening calculated the time. The news of the migration would soon reach Jinling. There were many things to do during this period and there was no time to hold a wedding. She just wanted to have a married identity to do things.

Xie Shi knew the reason why Li Yuening did this, and he looked at her with eyes as if to say, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position. We will hold another wedding when things settle down in the future."

Others thought that Li Yuening made such a request because she didn't want to be so high-profile and make a fool of herself by marrying a bastard.

Xie Lin had already compromised and let Xie Shi marry her, and now even the wedding was kept simple. She directly refused, "No, you have to listen to me on this matter."

Li Yuening and Xie Shi looked at each other and it seemed that they had to tell everything. "Grandpa Xie, I have something I want to tell you in person."

Seeing Li Yuening's firm attitude, Xie Lin softened his heart and said, "Let's go to the study."

Li Yuening sighed, stood up, and together with Xie Shiyi, they supported the old man out of the dining hall.

"See? The third brother is very cunning. But don't forget that the old man said that whoever marries the lady from the Li family will be the head of the family. Are you, the legitimate children, going to be suppressed by a bastard?" Feng said sarcastically.

Xie An, "Can you say less? Are you going to make the whole family in turmoil?"

"What's wrong? Are you feeling distressed, husband? Yes, that's the child of your beloved Mingyue slave, so of course she is different. If her status wasn't mismatched, would I have to give way to her?" Feng was extremely dissatisfied. Now that her brother Zhan had become successful, who was she afraid of?

Xie An pointed at Feng for a long time, then saw his second brother staring at him with wide eyes. He got angry and said, "That's unreasonable." He then left with a wave of his sleeves.

Xie Zhan sighed, "Mom, let's go."

After the people from the first house left, the five members of the second house held their teacups in the same posture and sipped their tea. Xie Yi said, "Why do I feel that what Madam Li did is strange? Second brother, fourth brother, what do you think?"

The second oldest, Xie Fan, has been working with Grandpa and Uncle, and has some life experience. "Mrs. Li is hostile to my aunt. It is reasonable to say that my eldest brother is the most likely to be favored by Mrs. Li, but she didn't. I guess my aunt is the main reason."

"From what Madam Li said, when we didn't know, our aunt had given her a hard time, and she got scared, so she changed her target?"

"Eldest aunt doesn't like Madam Li. Madam Li must have seen it, so she chose Third Brother to disgust her." Xie Hang also joined the conversation.

Xie Yi hummed, "I think this Madam Li is quite smart. She dared to go against the mistress of the house on her first day in the mansion. She is very courageous.

I am quite looking forward to the days ahead." When he said this, he was hit on the head.

Mrs. Lu said calmly, "Don't mess with the Li family's wife. She will be your third sister-in-law in the future. After this period of time, I will find a matchmaker to meet you two. You both need to behave well."

"Mom, I'm still young. Let my second and fourth brothers take a look first. I'm not in a hurry." Xie Yi said coquettishly.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu's heart tightened, "Brother Yi, tell me the truth, are you... are you in love with Madam Li?" She spoke in a low voice for fear of being heard by others.

Xie Yi blushed and retorted loudly, "Mom, why are you making groundless assumptions? This is so bad..." Before he could finish his words, he was beaten again, this time by his father, "Don't be mean to your mother."

Xie Yi was interrupted and swore with his left hand, "Mom, I really don't have that intention. Besides, I already know her identity. I just think her personality is different from other girls, and I'm a little curious."

Lu was relieved, "What about you two? Do you have a favorite lady?"

Xie Fan and Xie Hang looked at each other, the fire finally burned them.

Xie Hang said: "Mother, I don't plan to get married unless I pass the imperial examination."

It's a good thing for children to be motivated, but what if they don't marry and have children?

"Mother doesn't understand so many principles, but Hang'er, there's more to life than just studying. Passing the exam is good, but if... you don't have the talent, can we take a different path?" Mrs. Lu wasn't pouring cold water on her son. She just felt bad for him because his study was too hard.

Xie Hang's talent for studying is not as good as Xie Zhan's. He needs to read several times what Xie Zhan can remember at a glance. As his teacher said, other people study with talent, but he only needs diligence. Xie Hang hopes that one day he can make up for his shortcomings with diligence as the book says.

"Mom, fourth brother has worked very hard. The teacher said that he will definitely be on the list of this year's autumn exam." Seeing Xie Hang disappointed, Xie Yi hurriedly confirmed.

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Lu said several good words, "Boss, go prepare a gift quickly and have your brother take it to their teacher. Be sure to prepare a generous gift."

Xie Fan was helpless, "Okay, Mom, you and Dad go back to your room and rest. I'll take my brothers to choose gifts."

After Mr. and Mrs. Xie left, the three brothers also left the dining room.

In the study, Xie Lin sat at the top, Li Yuening and Xie Shi sat at the bottom.

After the servant served tea and left, Li Yuening said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I guess you've been worried about this piece of news these past two days, right?"

Xie Ling was surprised, "How do you know?"

“To be honest with Grandpa Xie, I was the first one to discover this, and later Xie Shi personally sent people to Yecheng to confirm it.

Xie Shi originally wanted to tell you in person, but he was afraid you wouldn't believe it, so he went around in circles. Now it seems that you still don't believe it."

Xie Lin looked at Li Yuening and then at his grandson whom he had always ignored. "It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet."

Xie Shi, "Grandpa, have you ever thought about breaking away from the main family and starting a new Xie family?"

For a moment, Xie Lin saw the shadow of another person in Xie Shi. "It's easy for you to say that. The Xie family and the main family are just losing some money now, but there are more benefits than the main family and us. You just can't see it."

Li Yuening, "What if there is a better backer?"

After a pause, he continued, "According to Xie Shi's people, the fourth prince Xiao Chuhan is going to Liangzhou with the displaced people. If the Xie family gets in touch with the lord of the fiefdom, Grandpa Xie, what do you think will happen?"

Xie Lin still couldn't believe it. "What qualifications do you have to think that you will catch the eye of the Lord of the Fellowship?"
