As Su's father was promoted, the Su family received many visiting cards and invitations one after another, all from military generals' families in the border town.

But these social events that required appearances only needed Su Ma to handle them. Su Ma would either receive visiting ladies at home or go out for social events.

Su Weixi still lives a lazy life of lying down every day.

Occasionally at the dinner table, you could hear gossip that Su Ma heard at banquets, such as that general took a concubine and favored her over his wife.

Or maybe even though the daughter-in-law and children are married, the mother-in-law still holds on to the power of managing the family.

Something like that family's son is still young and has not even gotten married but is already frequenting brothels and so on.

In short, Su Weixi listened with great interest to the gossip that Su Ma brought back from time to time.

Su Weixi never thought that one day he would end up eating the melon on his body.

"What? Mom? What did you say?" Su Weixi said loudly in disbelief.

"I said, today Mrs. Cui asked me to marry you and take you home to be her daughter-in-law." Su Ma repeated what she had said.

"Who is this Mrs. Cui? Have I seen her before?" Sometimes when some ladies came to visit and brought their daughters with them, Su Weixi would still come out to keep them company.

"It's the Madam Cui who made my son frequent brothels when he was very young." Mother Su said disdainfully.

Later, with Su Ma's explanation, Su Weixi understood the whole story.

It turned out that although Su Weixi had never attended various banquets with Su Ma during this period, the ladies who brought their daughters to the house had all met Su Weixi.

Naturally, they were also amazed by Su Weixi's beauty, and many ladies knew about it later.

In the end, the story spread that the daughter of General Huaiyuan rarely went out because she was too beautiful, so she was hidden in the house by General Huaiyuan and his wife.

Su Weixi: Thank you. I don’t go out because I’m lazy, okay?

Mrs. Cui has always wanted to find a beautiful daughter-in-law for her son so that he can focus on his life and stop wasting his time in brothels.

So she confirmed from her close friend that Su Weixi was indeed good-looking, and she became interested in him.

Her son's reputation made it impossible for him to marry a noble lady, even though her husband was only a seventh-rank county magistrate, not as high-ranking as Su's father, who was a fifth-rank general.

But the Cui family in the capital was born into a marquisate, and they believed that the Su family were just peasants, so they would definitely agree.

She also took her son to the street to see what Su Weixi looked like from afar. Naturally, her son, a lecher, coveted Su Weixi and immediately agreed to let his mother marry him such a wife.

So this is what happened at the banquet today.

The reason why Su Ma knew Mrs. Cui's thoughts so clearly was naturally something Bai Youyou found out.

Bai Youyou's father is the prefect and has lived in the border town for many years, so he naturally knows a lot of people.

Mrs. Cui never concealed her intentions, so Bai Youyou knew the whole story as soon as she asked.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is a top grade product, mother, didn't you scold her?"

Su Weixi was very confident that Su's mother had never considered agreeing to this marriage from the beginning to the end, and might even scold the other party.

"She cursed. In this dynasty, who would arrange their children's marriage without discussing it privately or hiring a matchmaker? Forget it for her to say it so casually at the banquet. Her tone made it seem as if it was a godsend that her family fell in love with ours." Su Ma said speechlessly.

"It's really hard for me."

"Anyway, I don't like these banquets every other day, so I might as well just curse to my heart's content. Maybe I can get fewer posts."

What Su Ma said made a lot of sense. If anyone wanted to curry favor with the Cui family, they would never invite Su Ma again.

And today's incident will definitely be spread by the ladies at the banquet. Anyone who would like to invite Su Ma again after this incident either has something to ask for, or is a truly sensible person.

In this matter, the Su family is absolutely right.

But Su Weixi underestimated the gossip ability of the ancients. Su's father also heard some rumors in the military camp.

After asking for leave from the Duke of Zhenguo, he rushed home.

After Su's father came back and learned the whole story, he wanted to pick up the whip and beat the man, but was stopped by Su's mother.

"Why are you stopping me? How dare that brat covet my daughter!" Su's father asked angrily.

"I already scolded someone that day. If you hit someone now, our family will be in the wrong." Su's mother explained the reason.

"Are we just going to put up with this?" Father Su was still indignant.

"Of course not, but women have their own ways of dealing with other women, so don't worry about it."

After hearing what Su Mom said, Su's father was still very angry. He just wanted to beat up that playboy who visited brothels every day to stop him from having any inappropriate thoughts.

Su's mother seemed to have sensed Su's father's thoughts, and said leisurely: "If you want to fight, it's not now. You can't just go there so directly.

Dad Su immediately understood what Mom Su said and silently planned a plan in his mind.

After the family finished dinner that day, Dad Su asked Aunt Zeng to take the two little ones away.

"Hehe, my daughter, don't take the Cui family's matter to heart. Dad will help you vent your anger." Father Su said.

"Dad, I'm fine. They didn't say it in front of me anyway. It's just that my mother is miserable and had to listen to those disgusting words."

Su Weixi really felt that Su Ma had suffered a lot to meet such a perfect person.

"Don't worry, my daughter. Dad will find you a young talent who is devoted to you." Father Su said subconsciously.

"Dad, have you forgotten that men in this dynasty can have three wives and four concubines?"

Dad Su was speechless for a moment after Su Weixi's words, because the reasons Su Weixi gave were irrefutable.

"Well, although you three are my biological children, I am most worried about you," Su's mother sighed.

After this extreme incident, Su Weixi suddenly felt a little confused.

Although I had a crush on someone in my previous life, I had never had any experience in love.

After coming to the Dasheng Dynasty, there is no such thing as falling in love.

Most people here are arranged by their parents and matchmakers, and may have never met each other before getting married. After marriage, they not only have to serve their parents-in-law, but also have to watch their husband have three wives and four concubines.

Su Weixi had never planned to get married and have children here.

In the past, my parents worried that I would be alone in this world after they passed away.

Now that I have An'an and Ningning, even if my parents are gone in the future, I will still have younger brothers and sisters to depend on me.

But now Su's father and mother have new worries.

An An and Ning Ning can be considered as children who were born and raised here. Unless they don't want to get married and have children, they will always meet the person they want to be with for the rest of their lives.

When they have their own family and Su Weixi is still single, they will have less and less time to spend with their sister.

By then, Su Weixi will still be a lonely person in a sense.

But she didn't dare to take the risk of asking Su Weixi to find someone she loved, get married and have children.

Su Weixi is really confused!
