Lu Sui calmed down at this time and nodded in agreement: "I know this, but what does it have to do with you?"

"If I find a few big backers, I will be useful to them. If one day I lose my usefulness, or they meet someone or something more valuable than me, they will abandon me. But marriage is different. It is protected by the law. Moreover, it is the emperor who granted the marriage. I chose the Wanning Marquisate as my backer, so I naturally hope that the status of the Wanning Marquisate will become higher and higher. For me, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Don't think that I am cold-blooded and only care about benefits. I think after this injury, you should know the importance of benefits better than me."

"Awei, you want not only power, but also fame and fortune, especially prestige. As a woman and a doctor, if your prestige grows, it will definitely attract women like you who have ideas and ambitions. Just like many soldiers in the Gale Camp now, they are here for me."

"You're right." Yuan Buwei agreed. "If you can understand, there's no need for me to waste my words explaining my purpose to you. After all, we are all in the same boat. Only by working together can we row the boat to the shore. Otherwise, if we each have our own agenda, the boat will sink sooner or later."

"Work together?"

Lu Sui was a little disappointed. Is that all?

"Ah Wei, if we...I..."

"Are you asking, if our relationship remains bad no matter how we get along, will I leave?" Yuan Buwei asked what Lu Sui wanted to ask, and when he nodded, she answered him very seriously, "If so, I will trade with you by planning something for Wanning Marquis Mansion. After the deal is done, we will each get what we want, and then we can go our separate ways."

"What now?" Lu Sui asked impatiently.

"Now..." Yuan Buwei looked at Lu Sui and curled her lips. "Your behavior now doesn't make me particularly hate your wife. I don't plan to part ways with you for the time being. The same goes for you. If one day you meet someone..."

"Will not."

Lu Sui knew what Yuan Buwei wanted to say and interrupted her hastily: "If I marry you, I will live with you for the rest of my life."

"Isn't it too early to draw such a conclusion now? You are more grateful to me, this is not a love between a man and a woman."

"Anyway, we are married, and you promised me that when I get better, we will go back to Yaowang Valley to hold the wedding ceremony." Lu Sui had clearly planned to divorce Yuan Buwei as soon as he got better, but he started to pester Yuan Buwei before he got better, fearing that she would break up with him one day.

"Lu Sui, are you being a rogue?"

"Awei, there are not many men like me who can admit their mistakes and correct them, and who can bend and stretch. If you miss me, you will definitely regret it." Lu Sui decided that from today on, he would stick to Awei like an octopus, so that she would have no time to deal with other men.

"Lu Sui, I'm a little uncomfortable with your mood changes." Yuan Buwei was helpless, but when she thought about how Lu Sui, as a son of a genius, had a changeable and unpredictable personality, it was fine as long as he liked it.

"It's okay. You'll get used to it later."

Not only do I want you to get used to it, but I also want you to be inseparable from me. Whenever you are apart for a while, you will miss me.

Lu Sui added silently in his heart.

"Awei, what do you want to eat this morning?"

"Oh, this morning I had..."

The Jade Building at noon.

Overcrowded.

Lu Bing drank three cups of tea in the side room before waiting for Jiang Weiyu to arrive.

"Hey, Lu Bing, it's really you?"

Lu Bing stood up and looked at Jiang Weiyu, who had not been seen for a long time and was now drunk and unsteady. He bowed and said, "Brother Jiang, long time no see."

"We are friends, come on, sit down."

Jiang Weiyu walked to the table, his eyes lit up when he saw the delicious food on it: "Lu Bing, you really understand my taste. Come, let's have a few drinks today."

Lu Bing endured the discomfort and picked up the wine pot to pour wine: "Last time I got drunk and made a fool of myself, my father beat me up severely, and I quit drinking. Brother Jiang, you drink, I'll have tea."

"Tsk, Lu Bing, you're really spoiling the fun." Jiang Weiyu said dissatisfiedly.

"What I brought today is Sanluo wine. I ordered it a year in advance. I originally wanted to give my father a surprise, but I thought about meeting you and you like to drink, so I brought it."

"Sangluo wine?" Jiang Weiyu was excited. He picked up the wine glass and smelled it. He was immediately intoxicated. "This is the smell. The last time I drank this wine was half a year ago."

"This pot is all yours today." Lu Bing sat down and served Jiang Weiyu some food. "Eat more."

After Jiang Weiyu drank a few cups to appease his craving, he looked at Lu Bing and asked, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. You asked me to meet you this time. Is there something you want to see me about?"

Lu Bing shook his head and poured wine for Jiang Weiyu: "With the support of my sister-in-law, I opened a medicine shop. It has just been open for ten days. When my sister-in-law was helping me that day, I met her sister Yuan Jinse, who is your sister-in-law."

Jiang Weiyu was originally upset that Lu Bing had quietly opened a medicine shop, but when he heard Yuan Jinse's name, he immediately frowned: "Why is she going to your medicine shop?"

"At first, I thought she was here to buy medicine, but it turned out that she was here to see my sister-in-law, and it seemed like they had a conflict. I didn't want to say anything, but when your sister-in-law left, she looked so fierce. You know, my brother is still lying in bed. If it weren't for my sister-in-law taking care of him, he wouldn't be able to hold on until now."

"You mean, Yuan Jinse bullied your sister-in-law?" Jiang Weiyu put down his chopsticks and snorted, "That's impossible. I don't have much contact with her, but every time she looks delicate and weak, it's almost like she was bullied. But didn't you say on the invitation you gave me that you were going to get engaged? How come I haven't even seen her shadow until now?"

The voice just fell.

Meng Zhuxin pushed the door open and walked in.

"I'm sorry, I was a little late because of something at home. Brother Bing, this is the Second Young Master Jiang, right?"

When Jiang Weiyu's eyes fell on Meng Zhuxin, his eyes suddenly widened.

"How could such a beautiful woman exist in the world? How lucky are you, Lu Bing?"

When Lu Bing heard this, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, but a hint of shyness appeared on his face: "My parents also said that I was lucky."

"Second Master Jiang, don't you recognize me? We met before at the banquet at the Rongguo Mansion." Meng Zhuxin walked to the table and poured herself a glass of wine. "I'll drink a glass as a punishment first."

"You, you are Meng Zhuyan's sister?" Jiang Weiyu looked at Meng Zhuxin for several times before recognizing her. "Aren't you going to be the young master's concubine? Why are you with Lu Bing?"

"It's a long story, but today, Brother Bing wants to meet you for something serious." Meng Zhuxin sighed and sat next to Lu Bing, "Originally we didn't plan to talk about this, but now that we think about the issue of the Jiang family's heirs..."
