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

"These are some tranquilizers. Your mother is so agitated every day, which is not good for her physical and mental health. Drinking this medicine will at least allow her to sleep well at night. If she finds it bitter, you can add some honey to the medicine."

Ling Jiuyuan said with gratitude: "Thank you, Madam. On behalf of my mother, I would like to apologize to you and Madam Wanning Hou."

"Lord Ling, don't blame yourself. I have come across patients who are more difficult than your mother before. Your mother's condition has accumulated over time. She has a mental illness, and it cannot be cured all at once. We may have more patience and care for her than others. And now you have met and are familiar with the young marquis. If you are upset and have nowhere to complain, the door of Wanning Marquis's Mansion will always be open to you."

Yuan Buwei's short words almost made Ling Jiuyuan cry.

He now understood why Young Marquis Lu was not depressed after recuperating for so long, but instead looked full of energy. Especially when he mentioned the young lady, his eyes were shining.

"Thank you, madam."

"You don't need to thank me. I did this for the young marquis. If you can go to the battle, the young marquis will be more relaxed. In fact, people are selfish. Whether they are good to others or bad to others, they are all for their own plans. Lord Ling obeys his mother in everything, which is actually to atone for his father's sins. But I'm going to say something presumptuous. The more you obey your mother, sometimes you will hurt her instead."

Ling Jiuyuan's eyes flickered, and after a moment he nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, Madam. I think I know what I should do. As for the expedition, I will give the young marquis a satisfactory answer within three days!"

late at night.

The guests left Wanning Marquis Mansion one after another.

Since both of Marquis Yong'an's daughters became involved with Marquis Wanning's mansion, she became the second person surrounded by noble ladies at the scene tonight, apart from Marquis Wanning's wife.

After so many years, she has finally experienced what it feels like to be surrounded by a crowd.

I just feel that my second daughter is not that close to me.

So, before leaving, she pulled her second daughter to her side and told her, "Zhu Xin, let's put the past behind us. When you pass through the gate of Wan Ning Marquis's Mansion, you and Bing'er will live a good life."

Meng Zhuxin lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Tsk, kid, why are you so ignorant? I'm your mother, why are you still so cold to me..."

"Mother, I just saw a lot of women around father. At his age, it's a good time for him to take concubines. It would be better to take more. If you can't give birth to a son, let them give birth to one."

Meng Qiongyue's voice came from behind.

When the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an saw that it was the eldest daughter, she was like a mouse seeing a cat: "What nonsense are you talking about? If he dares to take a concubine, I will tear down the Marquis of Yong'an's mansion."

"Look, you couldn't stand your father taking a concubine, but you forced your sister to be someone else's concubine, and to be your brother-in-law's concubine. There is no mother as cruel as you in the world." Meng Qiongyue walked to her sister and held her hand. "I just said a few words to someone and you disappeared. We agreed to sleep together tonight and talk in private."

"At that time, I didn't know that Meng Zhuyan was not my biological daughter."

"Even if she is your own child, you shouldn't treat your sister like a tool. Besides, as the mistress, you don't even know that your child has been swapped. Don't you feel that you have failed in your duty?"

"Meng Qiongyue, how can you talk to me like that? I'm your mother!"

"I'm telling you these things from my heart because you're my mother. If you weren't my mother, do you think you could still stand in front of me?" Meng Qiongyue sneered and took her sister away. "By the way, mother, I may rarely go home in the future, but I'll ask Miss Yunling to tell me about my sister's situation. If I see the same situation as today again next time, I won't be so easy to talk to."

Well, once Lady Yong'an was threatened by her eldest daughter, all her good mood for the day was gone.

But she couldn't get angry because she knew that her eldest daughter was definitely not just trying to scare her, she really could do it.

"Sister, you shouldn't have fallen out with mother because of me."

Only after leaving the yard did Meng Zhuxin speak.

"Tsk."

Meng Qiongyue frowned, turned around and pinched her sister's face: "You didn't say a word just now, and now you are talking to me, what are you doing?"

"Sister, it hurts." Meng Zhuxin frowned, but leaned on Meng Qiongyue. She didn't have the rouge and powder smell of ordinary women, but there was a clean and refreshing smell after being exposed to the sun, which made her feel particularly at ease. "Sister, I still feel it's unreal. You and Sister Bu Wei are like angels sent from the sky to save me who is about to be drowned in the quagmire."

"I am the same. If you hadn't doubted me, I might still be selling pork. But to be honest, after staying in the Swift Wind Camp for a few days, I found that the young marquis is indeed very powerful. The soldiers under his command are all very spirited and disciplined. They treat me equally, which I like very much."

Meng Qiongyue hugged her sister and walked slowly towards her courtyard: "In the future, if father and mother cause trouble for you, don't swallow your anger. If you can't find me, go find Lu Bing. I secretly observed him today. He is a little dull and stupid when dealing with others, but once it comes to you, he will immediately be on guard. If anyone says something bad about you, his mouth will be like poison. Besides, the couple of Wanning Marquis, the young marquis, the young lady, and the third young lady are all very good people. You will definitely have an easier life if you marry in."

"Well, sister, will you get married?" Meng Zhuxin asked.

Meng Qiongyue thought for a moment and shook her head: "Who knows? Anyway, I won't get married until I meet someone who matches my soul."

"Sister, if you want to marry someone, you need to know not only the man, but also his family. Besides, you will achieve many merits in the future. Who knows if the man is after you or the honor you have?"

Meng Qiongyue stopped and looked at her sister in surprise: "Meng Zhuxin, I worried about you for nothing. You are quite thoughtful."

"I'm not stupid. I didn't make trouble with my parents at first. But given the environment I was in at the time, the more I resisted, the angrier they might get. They might have knocked me out with a stick and sent me directly to Zhang Kun's bed. Then my life would be ruined."

"That makes sense. We should be able to bend and stretch. Apart from life and death, everything else is trivial."

As they were talking, the two sisters had already stepped into the house, and soon the room became dark.

The noise in Wanning Marquis' Mansion faded away and returned to tranquility.

But at dawn, Butler Ye hurried into Lu Sui's courtyard and brought a piece of news.
