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

Lu Han didn't understand why Xie Linan was giving him the cold shoulder one second, and then smiled like he had found money the next second: "You haven't said it yet, why should I agree to you first?"

"Didn't you propose it first?"

"Eh?" Lu Han was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, "Xie Linan, what do you mean? Are you really going to marry me?"

"With your status, if you want to marry me as my legal wife, those old stubborn people will not agree."

Lu Han raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't be a concubine. I'm after the Xie family's property. My sister-in-law said that people can't go against money."

Xie Linan laughed: "You are really honest, but there is a way to make them compromise."

"any solution?"

"I'm marrying into the family."

Lu Han's eyes widened instantly: "Xie Linan, are you serious? If you want to marry into the Wanning Marquis's mansion, then Xie's huge business, isn't that equivalent to giving it up automatically?"

"Guess why they would rather kick me out than force me to marry a wife?"

"Why?" Lu Han really didn't understand.

"Because right now, there is no one else who can take over the Xie family except me. Even if they can find a suitable candidate to start training now, it will take at least ten years. The Xie family is complicated and has many intertwined roots. I have also been trained since I was a child, and there are still many collateral families that have not been sorted out."

"You mean, if they don't agree to my marrying you, you will marry into their family, but they will definitely not let go of a successor they have been training for so many years, so they compromised in the end?" Lu Han immediately gave Xie Linan a thumbs up, "Master Xie, this move of retreating to advance is clever, but I have no promise for you, you must tell my parents when you go back, at least let them know."

Xie Linan frowned. He didn't expect Lu Han to be so straightforward and not hesitate at all: "Lu Han, are you so casual?"

"I'm not casual. I won't suffer any loss if I marry you." Lu Han said frankly, "Although you are not the man of my dreams, you are still acceptable to me."

Xie Linan snorted repeatedly after hearing this. His appearance was one of the best in the capital.

However, Lu Han said that it was barely ok.

Xie Linan gritted his teeth, suddenly moved closer to Lu Han, and cast a deep gaze on her face.

The result is the next second.

Lu Han slapped him in the face, destroying Xie Linan's newly brewing emotions: "Lu Han, what are you doing?"

"There's a mosquito on your face." Lu Han blinked and spread out his palms.

Xie Linan took a look and found that it was indeed a colorful mosquito.

"I'll go get some water first."

"Oh, remember to get an extra kettle. It's such a small kettle that you can finish a few cups of water."

Xie Linan: “…”

When Lu Han returned to the room, Yuan Buwei had already explained to Xiaoyue all the key points of changing the dressings.

"Han'er, why did you go out for so long?"

"I talked to Xie Linan about something."

Seeing that Lu Han looked well-behaved, Yuan Buwei understood that what they were discussing could not be said at this moment.

"It's almost time, let's stay for a while and then go down the mountain."

"it is good."

After a while, Xie Linan came in carrying two kettles. After he put them down, he called Xiaoyue out for questioning.

"Sister-in-law, drink water."

Yuan Buwei took a sip of the wine when she heard Lu Han say, "Sister-in-law, if Xie Lin'an wants to marry into the Wanning Marquisate, is it a good thing or a bad thing for the Wanning Marquisate?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Yuan Buwei was choked and it took her a long time to recover. "What did you say?"

"Xie Linan said..." Lu Han couldn't hide the truth, so he leaned close to Yuan Buwei's ear and told her what had just happened.

"You can help him, but the Xie family is in conflict with him now. If you help him, do you think the elders will treat you well after you join the Xie family?"

Lu Han was startled. After thinking about it, his face turned pale. "Will they vent all their dissatisfaction with Xie Linan on me?"

"What do you say?"

Yuan Buwei shook her head and put down her teacup: "If I have to choose, I think he can marry into the family."

"But he won't be happy about it, will he?"

"He said it himself. He must be happy about it. Once he really marries into the Wanning Marquis's mansion, Xie Shi won't be able to do anything to him for a while. Xie Shi forced him to marry just to better control him. Once he has a wife, even if he has no feelings for her, as long as he has the next generation, he will be trapped by Xie Shi for the rest of his life."

Lu Han frowned as he heard this: "No wonder he had such a big fight with Xie this time."

"This is also a form of resistance for him. For him, it is an experience and a form of growth."

"Sister-in-law, you always look at things objectively, and you can explain things very clearly in just a few words." Lu Han admired her. "If I were like you, I wouldn't be afraid even if I really married into the Xie family."

"It's okay. When you get home, meet your parents-in-law and listen to their opinions. After all, this is a major event in your life. Even if you want to contribute to the Wanning Marquis's Mansion, you can't be careless."

Lu Han nodded: "I understand, sister-in-law."

When they were going down the mountain, they waited for a long time but Xie Linan didn't come out. Just when Yuan Buwei thought he would not show up, he slowly walked out.

"Xie Linan, why are you so slow?"

"Since I'm going to meet my future father-in-law and mother-in-law, I can't go empty-handed. There just happened to be a lot of medicinal herbs and game in the mountains, so I picked some." Xie Linan took off the bag on his back and opened it to show the two of them.

"I didn't expect that a nobleman like you could hunt?"

Xie Linan raised his lips and said, "Riding and shooting are the basics. Besides, the Xie family holds hunting events every year."

"You sound very proud. It seems that you must have achieved great results in hunting."

"At least I can be in the top three every time."

"so smart?"

Yuan Buwei did not interrupt, but just watched the two of them quietly. She found that every time Xie Linan spoke to Lu Han, his eyes were relaxed and his body movements were also there. Unlike her, when he communicated with others, he would always frown and have a stern face, as if he was keeping people at a distance.

"The sky is overcast and it looks like it's going to rain. Let's go down the mountain early."

"it is good."

Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily when we were halfway there.

By the time they got on the carriage, all four of them were soaked.

"Wipe it with a towel first, and then drink a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold when you get home."

Lu Han turned his head and wanted to hand the towel to Xie Linan, but saw that he was pale and trembling.

"Xie Linan?"

Lu Han reached out to tug at his sleeve, but the next second she saw Xie Linan about to fall down. She was so scared that she immediately held him up: "Sister-in-law, come and have a look at him, he has fainted."

Yuan Buwei hurried over, took Xie Linan's wrist, and after examining him for a while, she reached out to touch his body.

When I touched the back, I felt blood.
