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

"You can't go."

The wife of the Marquis of Wanning rejected her husband's proposal without a second thought: "With your temper, you will quarrel with Sui'er after a few words. How can we talk about the main topic? Anyway, I will handle this matter well."

"But haven't you always had a good relationship with Sui'er?"

The wife of the Marquis of Wanning was very angry after hearing this: "That's better than you. Besides, this matter concerns Bu Wei, so as a mother-in-law, I naturally have the responsibility. You should not stay in the house tomorrow, go out for a walk, and don't come back until dark, so as not to arouse Sui'er's suspicion."

"alright."

"You look unhappy?"

"Why wouldn't I be happy about it? Why don't I go to my father-in-law's house tomorrow? I haven't visited him for a long time. Can I have a few drinks with him?"

Mrs. Wanning thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that there is newly brewed wine in the kitchen. You can bring a few jars tomorrow."

"Okay, okay." Wan Ning Hou was delighted. When he was about to climb onto the bed, he met his wife's unhappy look and stood up obediently. "Forget it, I'd better go to the study to sleep, so that I won't be able to sleep later and disturb you."

"Well, let's go."

As soon as her husband left, Lady Wanning Marquis lay down and thought about what to say tomorrow.

As she was thinking, she felt sleepy and fell asleep.

The next morning, it started to drizzle, bringing a slight chill.

It will get a little colder as it rains.

Yuan Buwei thought of taking out the charcoal basin first, so that if the temperature suddenly drops one day, she can take it out and use it at any time.

As a result, when he was halfway there, he saw Lu Bing coming in a hurry.

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

"Sister-in-law, are you free today? Can you stay in the pharmacy for another day?"

"Is there something wrong with the pharmacy?"

"After you left yesterday, Zhuxin and I received several guests, but because we were not familiar with medicinal materials, we were always in a hurry. I wanted my sister-in-law to stay for a day and do nothing. She could just watch us receive guests, and then summarize the problems and improve them." Even if his mother didn't come to see him, Lu Bing wanted his sister-in-law to go to the medicine shop for another day, so with his mother's entrustment, he wouldn't be considered a liar.

"Okay, we've just opened, so we're bound to run into all sorts of problems. Wait for me, I'll change my clothes and go with you guys."

"Okay, sister-in-law, Zhuxin and I will wait for you at the gate."

After a stick of incense.

Butler Ye came to report.

"Madam, the young mistress has already left in the second young master's carriage."

Hearing this, Lady Wanning Hou's heart suddenly became nervous.

But extending one's head is a sword, and shrinking one's head is also a sword.

She gave up.

"Mother?"

Lu Sui was immersed in his unhappiness about Yuan Buwei's sudden absence, when he suddenly saw his mother who came uninvited, and his expression instantly became alert.

"Sui'er, I want to tell you something about Bu Wei." Lady Wanning Marquis thought for a long time and decided to get straight to the point.

"About Awei?" Lu Sui frowned and looked at his mother with a cold look. "What's the matter?"

Madam Wanning waved her hand and asked the maid to leave. She closed the door, sat down, and looked at Lu Sui: "Yesterday, after you quarreled with the master, Awei was comforting you. Unfortunately, the master heard it, and then they had a chat."

"Why did he eavesdrop on my conversation with Awei?" Lu Sui's displeasure became more and more intense.

"He also cares about you. Of course, when I look for you, the focus is not on your father, but on Buwei..." After sighing, Lady Wanning Hou began to talk about it from the day Yuan Buwei got married. Her narration was from a different perspective, which was different from what Lu Sui heard from Yuan Buwei.

Gradually, he began to understand something was wrong.

Mrs. Wanning Marquis paused, and seeing that Lu Sui's eyes were becoming more and more thoughtful, she asked him, "Did you hear the problem?"

"I wonder what my mother wants to tell me?"

"You have been injured until today, and because you cannot go out, you have learned a lot of things from Bu Wei. As for Li Yan, he is your subordinate, so he naturally follows your orders. He will not say a word that he should not say." Seeing that Lu Sui did not refute her, Madam Wanning continued, "From the first day Bu Wei married into the family, she always showed her positive side to everyone. She silently digested the pain hidden in her heart."

If it were in the past, my mother would come to talk to me.

After listening to a few words, Lu Sui would find an excuse to leave or change the subject.

But this time, he was silent.

When Lady Wanning Marquis saw Lu Sui clench his hands, she knew he had heard her. "Take Mu Qing's case for example. Although your attitude was very firm and Bu Wei didn't take her seriously, Mu Qing offended Bu Wei again and again. As an elder, I really wanted to teach her a lesson, but I endured it because she was your deputy general. Bu Wei needs to endure it even more. She has to consider everything for you and plan for you. She is really working too hard."

Lu Sui's heart suddenly sank because of his mother's words.

The pain radiated densely from the apex of my heart.

As Avi's husband, he said yesterday that he would make a lot of money for her, but he couldn't even see the pain in her heart.

I really thought she was indestructible.

That was only after experiencing countless disappointments and abandonments.

My heart has long been numb.

Everything she did was only to ensure her life safety. Everything else was not important to her at all.

No wonder, when she faced me being naughty before, not only was she not angry, but she was also able to resolve the conflict calmly.

No wonder she told about her childhood experiences in order to comfort herself.

For others, that is the past that they care about the most and do not want others to know.

But she could say it calmly, which means she must have suffered greater hardships than this.

In other words, her heart had long been stagnant.

She doesn't care how others treat her, she just wants to make sure she survives.

Lu Sui immediately thought of what she said yesterday about returning to Yaowang Valley to worship heaven and earth. She must have said that on purpose because she didn't want to disappoint him.

At this moment, Lu Sui found that he didn't seem to be serious about getting to know Awei at all.

“Sui’er?” Seeing Lu Sui’s silent face and red eyes, Lady Wanning couldn’t help but feel a little worried. “I’m not saying this because I think you’ve neglected Bu Wei. It’s just that you’re husband and wife and you’re going to spend your lives together. You’ll meet again in the future…”

"Thank you, mother, for telling me this."

For the first time in all these years, Lu Sui spoke with a little more respect when facing his stepmother: "Indeed, after I was injured, I have been letting myself go my own way. I was only immersed in A Wei's full tolerance, but I didn't see that she was shutting herself up and secretly licking her wounds behind our backs."

Madam Wanning opened her mouth slightly, and after a while a look of relief appeared on her face: "It's best that you can realize it, but Awei is sensitive. If you say it directly, she might hide her thoughts even deeper. We need to proceed step by step."

"Thanks for your guidance, mother. I know what I should do."
