It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Yuan Buwei set out with full confidence. On the carriage back to the city, she leaned on Yun Ling's shoulder without saying a word.

"Young Madam, isn't it said that victory and defeat are common in the military? One setback is nothing. At worst, we can think of a countermeasure." Yun Ling didn't know what the young madam had been through. He only guessed from past experience that the young madam had suffered a setback this time.

"is my problem."

Living her life over again, Yuan Buwei has always lived with the sense of superiority of having the initiative, and used it to get what she wants.

But she ignored the people she came into contact with every time during the incident.

Events do not change, but people do. After being together for a long time, feelings will develop.

Once there are emotions involved, there is a weakness.

"When you can't figure something out, just put it aside. When you pick it up again after a while, the problem will be solved." Yuan Buwei closed her eyes, "I didn't sleep well last night. Call me when you get there."

"Okay, Madam."

After returning to the Marquis Wanning's Mansion, Yuan Buwei went to Lu Sui's room first and told him what happened today.

"Xie Linan told you personally?"

"How could I lie to you? When I heard him say he wanted Han'er, I turned around and left." Yuan Buwei looked at Lu Sui, "Tell me, how did he choose Han'er?"

"I……"

Lu Sui blinked a few times, scratched his head and thought for a long time, and uttered three words: "I don't know."

Yuan Buwei: “…”

"I can understand that you don't care about your second brother. After all, you are both men. But Han'er is a little girl. As the eldest brother, have you never told her anything?"

"Awei, you don't know that I seldom go home. I can't even talk to them, let alone see them." Lu Sui looked a little embarrassed. "Besides, Third Sister is a girl. After all, she and I are not born of the same mother."

"I just want to know why Xie Lin'an has set his sights on Han'er. Has he been planning this for a long time?" Yuan Buwei looked at Lu Sui in deep thought, and suddenly an idea occurred to her. "Tell me, if I hadn't found him today, would he have taken advantage of your illness and found a time to come and propose marriage? If my father-in-law and mother-in-law only care about the future of the Wanning Marquisate, they will definitely agree to this marriage after weighing the pros and cons."

"No, father and she won't joke about Third Sister's lifelong event. Besides, she is still young."

"What if they really did that? Would you be happy, sad, or angry?"

Lu Sui thought about Yuan Buwei's assumptions, then shook his head, saying in a cold tone, "If I hadn't met you, I would still be giving up on myself. I wouldn't care what they do."

"In the final analysis, the relationship between you and them is not deep. You don't expect to get affection from them, and you don't want them to bother you." Hearing Lu Sui say this, Yuan Buwei's nose was sour, "Lu Sui, you are avoiding me."

"I do not have."

"You do. You are afraid of developing a deep bond with them and forgetting your biological mother. This would be a betrayal to her!"

"I……"

Lu Sui stared at Yuan Buwei in a daze. He never expected that she would actually speak out the thoughts hidden in the deepest part of her heart.

"You are willing to be a cash cow for the Jiang family, but not for the reason you said before. You are more like absolving yourself of sins and alleviating your guilt for betraying your biological mother." Yuan Buwei took a deep breath, "Lu Sui, I'm sorry. I always wanted to repair your relationship with your family and unite the family, but I ignored the pain and depression in your heart."

"Awei, I didn't. I never blamed you. Although I doubted your motives at the beginning, after being with you day and night, I have long been..." Lu Sui suddenly stopped and looked at Yuan Buwei's apologetic face, unable to utter the word.

With my current self, I am not worthy of such a good person like Avi.

Speaking it out would only add to her burden.

She has to take care of herself and worry about so many things every day.

It’s better not to say it out loud.

So as not to embarrass everyone.

"Lu Sui?"

Yuan Buwei looked at Lu Sui, wondering why he suddenly stopped talking: "I won't lecture you anymore. I will just help you do health training so that you can stand up sooner."

"Awei, I can't go out now. I, I like listening to you talk. Really, every truth you say and every analysis you make are very useful to me. Last night, when I was discussing with Xingzhou how to write the military report, Xingzhou was amazed that I finally listened to others. If it were him, he would have to talk for three days and three nights before I could listen to him."

"That's not because Xingzhou is your subordinate, so naturally he listens to you more."

"Xingzhou is the military advisor, and I usually listen to him more." Seeing that Awei did not refute, Lu Sui asked carefully, "Awei, what you said just now is not valid, okay? Think about me, although my hands can move now, I still need someone to serve me. If it weren't for your encouragement every day, I would have given up on myself long ago. You said you don't want to be a widow, right?"

OK OK.

Lu Sui returned all the words he had said to himself.

Yuan Buwei felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she was slapping cotton.

"Avi~"

Lu Sui called her, his tone drawn out.

"I'm fine, I'm just afraid for myself..." Yuan Buwei paused. Shouldn't she be fearless? Why did she suddenly say the word "afraid"?

"What are you afraid of?"

Yuan Buwei suddenly realized that her feelings towards Lu Sui might have changed, but she herself had not yet realized it: "I was afraid that my efforts would fail. Fortunately, I didn't tell my father-in-law about this. Otherwise, he would be so happy for nothing and would probably get angry."

"We can find out Xie Yunting's whereabouts. There's no need to get it from Xie Lin'an. Third sister is still young, and her mother probably wants to keep her at home for a few more years. Besides, she's learning how to manage the household from you now, so we have to wait until she finishes her studies before we can tell her about her husband's family."

"That makes sense. We can teach her more while she's still young. When she gets married, she won't..."

"Boom."

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Yuan Buwei and Lu Sui turned around and saw Lu Han standing at the door.

At the same time, he shouted in surprise: "Han'er, why are you at the door?"

Lu Han's eyes were slightly red, and he quickly walked towards Yuan Buwei and hugged her: "Sister-in-law, I heard everything. If I marry Xie Linan, I can dispel the haze hanging over Wanning Marquis Mansion, I am willing to marry."

"Nonsense, do you know what kind of person Xie Lin'an is? If you marry him, he can eat you up in one bite, and he won't even spit out the bones. Moreover, he grew up in such a twisted environment. He, he is not normal." Yuan Buwei was afraid that Lu Han didn't understand, and pointed to his temple, "Right here, do you understand?"
