God knows how happy she felt when she first heard the news.

She clearly remembered that she almost forced Liao Hui to jump off the building with a hairpin, but Wen Chengting jumped out.

Although Wen Chengting did not point out that she was framing Liao Hui that day, she did not accept any invitations from noble ladies for more than half a year after that.

Now, she also has her own new goal.

Liao Fan naturally no longer took a useless, hopeless loser like Wen Chengting seriously.

Liao Fan slowly turned the newly acquired red hairpin in his hand, and suddenly raised his wrist and threw it in front of Ruo'er.

"Give it to your good-for-nothing brother to gamble with!"

Ruoer kowtowed quickly.

"Thank you, Miss! I will always remember your kindness!"

Liao Fan smiled contemptuously.

"You don't need to keep it in mind. You just need to know that you can get countless benefits by working for me. If you follow that concubine, your life will be miserable."

"Yes, I remember it!"

"Go back, don't let that little hoof find out!"

"Yes……"

Ruoer got up from the ground and slowly backed out.

When the door was closed, Liao Fan's personal maid smiled and said, "Miss, it seems that Wen Chengting has not yet recovered."

"The Qu family looked for famous doctors for him but none of them could cure him, so it's impossible for him to recover."

"If that's the case, why are you still wasting so much effort on that little bastard who is destined to be trampled under your feet for the rest of her life?"

"I'm just taking precautions. If Wen Chengting recovers, wouldn't that be bad for Brother Hong Shen?"

The maid hesitated for a while before speaking: "Have you really thought it through? Wen Chengyi is of a humble origin, I'm afraid he is not worthy of you."

Liao Fan gave him a cold look.

"What do you know? He is now the most proud student of the Grand Secretary. In the past two days, his casual remark "On Loyal Ministers" has spread all over the streets and alleys. Maybe Your Majesty has heard of it. His future is limitless."

"Then at least we should wait until Master Hongshen really passes the palace examination..."

"Will it be too late by then? It's easier to add icing on the cake than to help in times of trouble. He was kicked out of the house by Qu, and now is the most difficult time. You take a few banknotes and give them to him, and tell him that it's a token of my love, and ask him to accept it."

The maid gritted her teeth and agreed.

"Yes!"

……

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Liao Hui was called to the flower hall by Mr. Liao early in the morning.

Mr. Liao is now a third-rank Tongzhengshi.

As soon as he came out of court, he asked the servant to call Liao Hui.

The Autumn Examination will be held in another month. Today at the morning court session, Your Majesty should talk about the Autumn Examination.

Liao Hui vaguely guessed why Mr. Liao called her, the unfavored concubine's daughter.

After she simply put on her makeup, she went to Mr. Liao's study.

As expected, as soon as she entered the room, Mr. Liao asked directly, "I heard that you went to Qu's house yesterday?"

"Yes……"

Mr. Liao showed displeasure on his face, but he still asked patiently, "Is Wen Chengting feeling better?"

Liao Hui lowered her head and said nothing.

Her silence was the answer to Mr. Liao.

"Hui Niang."

Mr. Liao said, "Dad knows that you have deep feelings for Wen Chengting, but he is now a useless man. If you marry him, you will be like a moth flying into a flame and get burned."

"Dad, what do you mean by this? Brother Ting and I have already been engaged, and he is going through the most difficult time. How can your daughter leave at this time?"

Mr. Liao put down his pen and came to Liao Hui.

"Hui Niang, even though you didn't say it, Dad knows that you always feel that I favor your sister. But you are all my flesh and blood, how can Dad ignore you? As long as you say the word, Dad will help you find a reason to cancel this marriage today."

Liao Hui clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves.

She bravely looked into Mr. Liao's eyes.

"Dad, I am not afraid of getting into trouble. I have already decided on Brother Ting for my whole life. No matter what happens to him in the future, I will marry him. I don't want anyone else except him!"

Mr. Liao's patience is almost exhausted.

"Why are you so stubborn? What do you like about Wen Chengting? Wen Chengting is already a useless person. You know it better than me. Why do you still want to jump into this fire pit?"

"Dad, just treat it as... your daughter is a brainless woman."

"Are you trying to piss me off to death? There has never been a failure in the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. Wen Chengting is the first one, and his name was crossed out by His Majesty himself. It would be fine if he had improved, but until now, I heard that he still can't even speak a complete sentence. Why do you still want to marry him?"

Liao Hui never changes her original intention.

"My daughter has made up her mind."

"You, you!" Mr. Liao was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Liao Hui hard.

Liao Hui gasped in pain, but still refused to give in.

Mr. Liao was completely disappointed.

"Since you have made up your mind to jump into this fire pit, then it's up to you! It's really a waste of my efforts!"

"The Autumn Examination is coming soon. Dad originally wanted to choose a man with good character and talent as your husband after the Autumn Examination. Since you want to ruin your own future, I have nothing to say!"

"However, since you choose to marry a useless person, the dowry does not have to be too generous."

The implication was that if Liao Hui insisted on getting married, he would not give her a decent dowry.

Liao Hui laughed at herself.

"Even if I marry someone else, my mother won't give me too much dowry. Why does my father threaten me with the dowry?"

Mr. Liao's face turned completely ugly.

"Get out of here!"

"My daughter is resigning."

Liao Hui did not forget to bow before leaving.

"You don't know what I'm talking about! You're just an idiot! You can't even compare to Fan'er!"

Mr. Liao's scolding could be vaguely heard from inside.

Liao Hui closed her eyes, feeling as if her heart was stabbed with thousands of holes by a knife.

She had known for a long time that her father did not love her and did not care about her, and she had long been disheartened about this unattainable father, but she had not expected that her heart would still ache.

But it doesn’t matter, she still has Brother Ting and Aunt Qu.

She believed that after she got married, she would be a thousand or ten thousand times happier than she is now.

In the afternoon, Liao Hui finished her meal and digested the food.

When passing by the garden in the mansion, he happened to run into Liao Fan.

"elder sister."

Liao Hui bowed slightly and was about to turn around and walk back, but was stopped by Liao Fan.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, sister? Don't you want to chat with your sister?"

"Oh yeah, you're going to marry a moron, how can you have the nerve to chat with people?"

Liao Hui had no expression on her face.

"Sister, what do you want to say?"

"Haha, I just want to tell you that you were not as good as me when you were born, and you are even worse than me after you got married. I have to thank you for giving such a good marriage to my sister."

Liao Hui was puzzled.

"Sister, what do you mean? I don't understand."

Liao Fan took a step forward.

"Do you know who Dad originally wanted to introduce to you?"
