I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

After biting off the last candied haws, the little girl clapped her hands and strolled over. The aroma of tea was everywhere, and she wanted to go and take a look!

There was a man and two women standing at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion. The three of them blocked the door and the atmosphere was tense.

Duan Muyang was overwhelmed. One was the girl he liked, and the other was his beloved cousin. The two had an argument, and he really didn't know what to do!

Today Duan Muyang asked Xia Wanqing to come to the Treasure Pavilion to buy jewelry. Her face was still red and swollen, so she had to wear a veil when traveling. At first, she was still restless and had other plans.

But Lord Xia noticed her thoughts and issued an ultimatum. If she and her daughter dared to do anything that would damage the reputation of the Xia family again, he would divorce her!

The mother and daughter were scolded by the eldest princess and returned to the Xia Mansion in embarrassment. At the same time, the nanny from the princess's mansion went to Old Madam Xia's courtyard and asked her to correct the family style of the Xia Mansion.

Upon learning of this, Lord Xia was furious and sent people to ask the clan elders to divorce his wife. Madam Xia was frightened to faint, and Xia Wanqing looked at her father in a daze.

"Dad, how can I marry a man like Duan Muyang? My daughter's life will be ruined!"

Against the light, Xia Wanqing couldn't see Lord Xia's facial expression, but she felt that his voice was extremely cold.

"You can't marry? Then why can others marry? You are such a smart idiot. You can still be caught by others after you make a move. You are such a waste!"

"It would be fine if you two could get rid of this hot potato smoothly, but you didn't, and you put yourself on the fire. Now that things have come to this, I absolutely cannot let you ruin the reputation of the Xia family again. You have to marry me whether you want to or not!"

Xia Wanqing lay on the ground and cried, "Am I your daughter or not? Why don't you care about my life or death? A daughter who marries into the Duan family will be a widow, and she has no children to rely on. How can she live?"

Old Madam Xia sighed. How could this granddaughter be so smart sometimes and so stupid sometimes?

There is more than one young lady in the Xia family. How could she ruin the other sisters because of her?

"Child, this is not a hopeless situation. After you marry into the Duan Mansion, you only need to win over Duan Muyang's heart, and then adopt an orphan child from the Duan clan and educate him from childhood."

"As long as you operate properly, a caring and loving husband and a well-behaved and sensible child are all within your reach. Don't be angry with Duan Muyang. He is your greatest support in the Duan Mansion. You should use his guilt to hold him firmly in your hands!"

The person crying on the ground was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and said angrily:

"But Madam Duan doesn't like me now, and she wants Duan Muyang to marry her niece as his co-wife. I will definitely be suppressed by them."

Mrs. Xia didn't expect that she still hadn't seen the situation clearly. Although she felt helpless, she still patiently advised;

"She is just a concubine's daughter. As long as you win over Duan Muyang's heart, you can find a chance to get rid of that woman. As for Madam Duan? Oh, she is just an elderly woman. Many of them died of sudden serious illnesses."

"As I said before, as long as you operate properly, everything is possible! Go back and think about it carefully."

The maid helped Xia Wanqing to leave. Old Madam Xia looked at Madam Xia lying on the ground and said, "Give her one last chance. If she still doesn't repent, divorce her!"

Mrs. Xia's body trembled.

Lord Xia thought of what his mother had just said, "She is just an elderly woman, and there are many people who have died suddenly of serious illnesses." He wanted to say something, glanced at his wife on the ground, and said nothing.

My grandmother died of a sudden illness, could it be that...

He retracted his thoughts and dared not think any further.

.......

At the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.

Today, my cousin wore the same white dress as Xia Wanqing, and came to block Duan Muyang and Xia Wanqing as requested by Mrs. Wan.

As she expected, Duan Muyang had no intention of seeking justice for her, and was even reluctant to reprimand Xia Wanqing. But it didn't matter, because the beating she had just received was just her own action.

The purpose was to test how much weight he and Xia Wanqing had in his eyes.

Although she didn't get the result she expected, she could clearly see the guilt in her cousin's eyes. As long as there was a breakthrough, it was good.

"My cousin's hand is injured. It's bleeding." She held up Duan Muyang's hand and looked at it carefully, with a look of heartache on her face. She took out a handkerchief with body fragrance and bandaged it for him.

"Pah!" Xia Wanqing slapped open her hand that was holding Duan Muyang's hand. The handkerchief fell to the ground, and Duan Muyang's hand was also knocked off balance. "Who allowed you to touch him!"

"Wanqing, you are going too far. How can you hit your cousin again and again!"

"You're being mean to me because of her?"

Seeing his beloved girl's eyes redden, Duan Muyang stopped talking, turned his head away and stopped talking.

My cousin lowered her head with a mocking arc at the corner of her lips. It is easiest to control men who are unsteady and wavering.

She raised her head and recovered her delicateness. She ignored her red hands and held Duan Muyang's hands again to examine them carefully. "Cousin, when did you hurt your hand? Why didn't you go to the clinic to bandage it?"

The woman's hands were white and red from being beaten, with even fingerprints visible. However, she not only did not complain, but was concerned about him, which made Duan Muyang feel even more guilty.

"It's nothing, just minor injuries." He lowered his eyebrows and looked a little sad, but it was a pity that no one really cared.

Xia Wanqing's thoughts have not changed yet. Deep down, she still dislikes Duan Muyang and didn't even notice that his hand was injured. Although her cousin seemed to care about him on the surface, she was not moved at all inside.

"How can this be a minor injury? I have loved my cousin since I was young. Every time I see him injured, I feel like my heart is being torn out. I don't ask for anything but for my cousin to be safe and sound."

She said it sincerely, "Seeing my cousin get hurt, I wish I could take his place, and no matter whether he is rich or poor, I still love him, nothing else matters, but my cousin seems to have no interest in my sister..."

The beauty tilted her head and shed tears. Duan Muyang's throat moved slightly when he saw her beautiful profile. So his cousin liked him so much?

"She is truly a slut born to a concubine. Who is she trying to show off by acting like a prostitute? Brother Muyang, don't bother with her. Let's go!" As a woman, Xia Wanqing could naturally see that her cousin was scheming. She scolded her and was about to take Duan Muyang away.

But Duan Muyang did not move. His cousin's words made him think of some bad things. Whether it was running away alone when in danger, or disliking his body and pushing him to others, it all showed that Xia Wanqing despised and looked down on him.

The eager heart suddenly cooled.

"Stop messing around and apologize to your cousin!"

"Duan Muyang, you have changed!" Xia Wanqing's eyes were red and she turned and left crying. Duan Muyang subconsciously wanted to chase her, but was stopped by another gentle voice.

"Cousin, my aunt's birthday is coming up in a few days. I want to choose a birthday gift for her. Can you help me with some advice?"

"Okay." He thought it was time to give Xia Wanqing the cold shoulder and not indulge her all the time.

My cousin raised her thin lips and smiled charmingly.

Ning Zhiyi finished the second candied haws and praised:

【Good tea! 】

[She is so powerful that she alienated Duan Muyang and Xia Wanqing in just a few moves. It's a pity that she married into the Duan family. She has a mother-in-law, a husband, and a rival wife. No one is worry-free. Life will be hard. ]

As soon as the system opened its mouth, it had a different opinion.

[Host, you are still too naive. Marrying into the Duan Mansion is her best way out. Although concubines in ancient times were masters, their fate was in the hands of their mistresses. None of the several husbands that the mistress of the Wan family found for her were good.]

[Her biological mother was beautiful, but she was a thorn in the mistress's eyes. Naturally, she didn't like her, a thorn in her eyes. She found old men over fifty years old to marry her. They were either the ninth or eighteenth concubines. If she married into these families, she would be doomed.]

[Madam Wan's decision to let her marry into the Duan Mansion was her last straw! And Duan Muyang's inhumanity was really great for her! ]

Ning Zhiyi was puzzled and asked: [Why? ]
