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

"Mrs. Ling's situation is indeed difficult. Your mother kept nagging me last night and didn't let me go until dawn." Marquis Wan Ning was also very troubled by Mrs. Ling's situation. "So, I thought about the visiting card and came to find you."

"Father-in-law, are you planning to invite both families out and talk it out?" Yuan Buwei asked.

"After General Ling died, his parents could not bear the blow and followed their son a few years later. Now the head of the Ling Mansion is a daughter adopted by General Ling's parents named Ling Xue. Everyone in the mansion calls her the second young lady. She has been alone to support the Ling Mansion until now. She is less than fifty years old, but her temples are already white." Wan Ning Hou sighed, "They are both women of similar age. Ling Xue respected her sister-in-law, Madam Ling, very much. But later, when General Ling brought back an orphan girl, Madam Ling got confused and thought that Ling Xue was adopted by her parents-in-law because she was coveting General Ling."

"what?"

Lu Sui couldn't hold it in any longer: "I remember that General Ling's parents adopted Ling Xue a long time ago, probably before General Ling and Madam Ling got married, right?"

"Yes, I also learned that Ling Xue's biological parents were good friends with General Ling's father. They both died in an accident, so General Ling's father adopted her. Ling Xue was very grateful for their kindness to her and always regarded them as her biological parents. She only had brotherly feelings for General Ling, so this is also the biggest reason why the Ling family and Madam Ling have always been at odds."

"Eunuch, just the visiting card only means that the Ling family wants to resolve this conflict, but how exactly they want to resolve it, I think, we should meet Ling Xue first and listen to her ideas, and then we can convey her ideas to Ling Jiuyuan and let him make his own judgment. We can just act as a matchmaker, as for whether the matter will succeed, it depends on the luck of both parties."

Yuan Buwei's proposal was approved by Wan Ninghou: "Buwei's words make sense. I will go to the Ling family first. Buwei, don't go out today. When I come back, we will discuss it."

"Okay, father-in-law, then you should be careful when you go out."

"understood."

Yuan Buwei closed the door and turned around to see Lu Sui's gloomy face: "What's wrong? You look like you're facing a great enemy?"

"I was thinking, if Ling Jiuyuan really can't go on the expedition, are there any other candidates? Zhao Chuchuan and He Xin combined are not suitable, and I'm not very familiar with the others." Lu Sui scratched his head in annoyance, regretting that he only knew how to train his subordinates and didn't deal well with the military officers.

"Ling Jiuyuan is the best candidate in your mind. You must have chosen someone based on him. And you said it in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials. If you find someone else, they will definitely feel uncomfortable even if they don't say it out loud." Yuan Buwei walked to the bed and sat on the edge of it. "Besides, didn't Ling Jiuyuan say that he would give you an answer within three days? I think the chances of success are still quite high."

"Awei, if it were you, what would you do?"

"I?"

"Well, will you stay and take care of your mother, or will you go out and give it a try?"

Yuan Buwei thought for a moment, looked at Lu Sui and said, "I may be cold-blooded. I should entrust my mother to someone I trust to take care of her, and then rush to the battlefield. Because for me, if I want to change the status quo, I have to climb up to a position where I can speak, otherwise I will only sink deeper and deeper into the mud."

"Entrust it to someone you can trust?" Lu Sui pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "I remember that Ling Jiuyuan was with a girl before, and they were almost at the stage of marriage. If it weren't for General Ling's accident, they would have been married long ago, and their children would have been able to help with cooking."

"You mean, Ling Jiuyuan has a girl he likes?"

"Yes, but the woman disappeared later. But I heard that Ling Jiuyuan drove her away." Lu Sui scratched his head. "What was her name? Why can't I remember it for a while?"

"Don't worry, father-in-law hasn't come back yet, you..."

"I remember now, her name is Lan Ling'er!"

Yuan Buwei frowned, thinking she had heard wrongly: "What's her name?"

"Lan Ling'er, because the surname Lan is not very common, so I have always remembered it. Yes, this is the name."

Yuan Buwei stopped talking for a moment.

Because she also knew a woman named Lan Ling'er.

There shouldn't be such a coincidence in this world. Could these two people be the same person?

"Then where does she live? I'll send someone to find out first."

Lu Sui shook his head: "I don't know. This Lan Ling'er is also quite mysterious. She is not from the capital. I heard that Ling Jiuyuan met her outside the Great Wall."

Beyond the Wall?

Yuan Buwei was shocked. The person she knew and the one Ling Jiuyuan liked were the same person.

"Lu Sui, if I say that I know this Lan Ling'er and I know where she is, would you believe me?"

"what?"

Lu Sui didn't react at first, but after a few seconds, his eyes widened instantly: "A-Awei, how do you know her?"

"I do know a girl named Lan Ling'er. She also comes from the outside of the Great Wall. But the most important thing is her identity." Yuan Buwei rubbed his temple with a headache. "She is not from a noble family. She is..."

"What is it?" Lu Sui pricked up his ears.

"She is a female devil who kills without blinking an eye. She seduces people with her beauty and finally achieves her goal of killing people."

"What? Killer?" Lu Sui was shocked, and his mind raced. "That is to say, she and Ling Jiuyuan might not be lovers, but..."

Yuan Buwei nodded: "It is definitely possible. Of course, it could also be that they have the same name and surname."

"Awei, didn't you just say that you knew where she was? How did you get to know her? Was it in Medicine King Valley?" Lu Sui asked curiously.

"Her master is the leader of the beheading organization. He came to Medicine King Valley to seek medical treatment. Because she is a girl, my master asked me to take care of her. He also told me to get in touch with more people in the martial arts world and to train my courage. That's how I got to know Lan Ling'er."

In fact, Yuan Buwei didn’t say one more thing.

In his previous life, Jiang Weiming encountered several assassination attempts because he was too high-profile.

Yuan Buwei also asked the killer organization to get rid of the person who had been trying to assassinate Jiang Weiming. However, when they found out, he was very unhappy. He felt that he was always hanging out with those questionable people in the underworld, and even forbade him to contact anyone in Yaowang Valley.

Jiang Weiming enjoys his hard work with a clear conscience, but also blames himself for being in the spotlight.

It seemed that, in his eyes, Yuan Buwei was nothing more than a tool who obeyed him, worked hard without complaint, and was not allowed to have any self-thoughts.

"Avi?"
