After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

Liao Fan was worried about what excuse he should use to see Wen Hongshen next time.

Hearing this, she immediately said, "That's easy! The Fourth Princess and I have been playmates since childhood. Why don't I invite her to go boating with us some other day?"

This is exactly what Wen Hongshen was waiting for.

But he looked embarrassed.

"Will this be too much trouble for you? Besides, the Fourth Princess is of noble status, how could she be willing to see an ordinary person like me?"

"Don't worry, the Fourth Princess will come. If she refuses to come, I will show her your Theory of Pure Ministers!"

"Then... I'll leave it to Miss Liao."

Liao Fan nodded and said shyly, "From now on, you can call me Fan Niang. There's no need to call me so strangely."

"Yes, Fan Niang."

Liao Fan's face turned even redder, and no one noticed the calculation hidden deep in Wen Hongshen's eyes.

At the same time, Baihu Mansion.

Liao Hui was feeling bored staying at home, so she went to talk to Qu again.

Of course, this time she also brought a gift for Wen Qianqian.

It was the little red bellyband she embroidered for Wen Qianqian.

Wen Qianqian looked at the delicate embroidery and held on to the bellyband, refusing to let go.

[Mom, I like this! I want to change it, I want to change it! ]

Qu looked helpless.

"She likes it very much. I will help her change it now."

Liao Hui nodded, and waited for Qu to change Wen Qianqian into a bellyband, but she did not wear an outer shirt.

Qu said embarrassedly: "This child insisted on showing off her new bellyband and refused to wear clothes."

Liao Hui felt both happy and ashamed after hearing this.

She said apologetically, "As long as Qianqian likes it, I'm glad. I wanted to give her some expensive gifts, but I don't have anything in my room to give away..."

The next second, she suddenly heard a baby voice.

[Don't feel guilty, sister-in-law. Qianqian really likes the gift you gave her. ]

Liao Hui was stunned.

"Aunt, I seemed to hear Qianqian talking just now..."

Qu has now accepted the fact that more and more people will know about Wen Qianqian's abilities, and she calmly explains Wen Qianqian's extraordinaryness to Liao Hui.

Anyway, Hui Niang will be a member of their family sooner or later, and she can trust Hui Niang's character.

She knew Hui Niang would not say anything outside.

Liao Hui was stunned for a long time and could hardly close her mouth.

"It turns out that Brother Ri Ting suddenly changed his mind that day and was able to speak fluently because of Qianqian."

She also wondered why Brother Ting was so determined to ask Xiao Dezi to return their token of love that day, but then suddenly changed his attitude.

It turns out it was because of Qianqian.

"Yes. She is the lucky star of our family."

Liao Hui nodded in agreement: "She is also my lucky star."

The two of them avoided talking to the servants, and suddenly Wen Qianqian said in her heart: "Sister-in-law, you have to be careful of the maid next to you. The one named Ruo'er is now Liao Fan's person."

Liao Hui raised her eyes suddenly.

"Ruo'er...did she really betray me?"

She had already sensed something was going on.

For example, two days ago she noticed that Ruoer's clothes were becoming more and more exquisite and expensive.

She wanted to convince herself that she was just being overly suspicious, but after Qianqian said that, she was completely certain that Ruoer had betrayed her.

Otherwise, given Ruoer's situation, she would definitely not be able to afford those jewelry.

[She betrayed you recently, so you must not tell her that my elder brother is fine now.]

Liao Hui nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, I won't tell her."

Mrs. Qu listened to Wen Qianqian's thoughts and said, "Mother Hui, are you willing to marry Yu Ting'er as soon as possible?"

Liao Hui's cheeks turned red.

"Hui Niang is naturally willing..."

"Well, I'll talk to Lord Liao in a few days and ask him to bring forward your wedding date."

Qu said this because she took into consideration the difficult life that Liao Hui was having in the Liao family.

Now even her personal maid has betrayed her. If she were to do something, no one could predict what the consequences would be.

So it would be better to marry her as soon as possible.

Liao Hui also knew Qu's thoughts and was extremely grateful.

"Thank you for planning for me, auntie. However, Hui Niang is a concubine's daughter, so I'm afraid she won't have a generous dowry."

"Don't worry about that. My family never cares about these things."

Liao Hui felt very worried.

She knew that Qu was well-educated and a real daughter of a noble family, and would not care about these things, but she still felt a little inferior in her heart.

But Wen Qianqian said: [Sister-in-law, are you willing to let Qianqian add some dowry for you? ]

Liao Hui laughed when she heard this.

"Qianqian is still young, there is no need to do this. Besides, it is me, your future sister-in-law, who should give you the things."

Wen Qianqian stopped talking, her eyes rolling around, as if she had already come up with an idea.

As the two chatted, Liao Hui mentioned what Liao Fan had said to her today.

Qu frowned slightly.

"Your father actually fell in love with Wen Hongshen?"

"Yes. He is now a hot candidate for the top spot, but..."

Liao Hui was a little hesitant.

"Just what? Tell me."

"I don't know if it's Hui Niang's illusion. I always feel that... Wen Hongshen's writing style is somewhat similar to that of Brother Ting."

Wen Qianqian suddenly waved her little fist.

[The eldest sister-in-law's feeling was correct. Wen Hongshen's articles were all stolen from the eldest brother's room! ]

[But now it’s good, the thief is gone, and it will be impossible for him to “write” a good article in the future! ]

Liao Hui was shocked.

"So he's a thief?"

"Yes." Qu sighed, "It was my son who... had been expelled from the family tree who stole it for him. Brother Ting refused to see me before, but was willing to see him. He must have stolen it at that time."

Liao Hui was extremely angry.

"That should have been the honor and praise that belonged to Brother Ting."

"Don't be angry, it's not worth it. Brother Ting doesn't care about these vanities."

Liao Hui nodded.

"That's right. He can steal for a while, but not forever. Wait until next year's examination. I wonder what he can use to pass the palace examination."

"So, we don't need to be angry, and we don't need to be anxious. Pearls will always shine, but fish eyes can never become pearls."

"That's what my aunt said."

Before leaving, Liao Hui bid farewell to Qu and looked from afar in the direction of Wen Chengting's courtyard.

Ruo'er stepped forward and asked, "Miss, do you want to go see Master Ting?"

"No need." Liao Hui said calmly, "I feel uncomfortable seeing his current appearance. It's better not to look at him."

She didn't want Ruo'er to find out anything, so she deliberately acted as if she was disgusted.

Ruo'er was fooled and asked in a low voice, "Do you regret it, girl?"

Liao Hui sighed, "What's the point of regretting? If I regret the engagement now, I'm afraid the spit of the people in the capital will drown me. I have no other choice but to marry him."

Liao Hui said, and asked Ruo'er: "Ruo'er, you will have no future if you follow me. Why don't I find another way out for you and arrange you to another courtyard?"

Ruo'er was moved.

The third young lady's life is over, and she will only suffer if she follows her.

But in front of Liao Hui, she still looked like she was determined to follow him until death.

"I won't leave. I want to follow the girl."
