Lu Bing's face flashed with embarrassment: "Before my father left, he told me to take good care of my elder brother. Besides, I can't let outsiders think that my elder brother is injured. The Wanning Marquis Mansion is easy to bully. I am also a member of the family..."

Yuan Buwei didn't say anything, just looked at her uncle quietly.

As a result, Lu Bing thought he had said something wrong, and hurriedly tried to make amends: "Sister-in-law, I don't mean to replace my brother, I mean..."

"I understand." Yuan Buwei smiled and said, "Brothers grew up together, spent every day together, and have a close relationship. Even if they each have their own families after growing up, they should take care of each other, interact with each other, and shine in the fields they are good at, instead of fighting each other to the death because of a little jealousy in their hearts."

"Sister-in-law..."

Lu Bing's eyes were filled with tears. He didn't expect his sister-in-law to say what he wanted to say most.

But when he thought of his elder brother's attitude towards him, he felt lost again: "My elder brother and I have the same father but different mothers, so our relationship is naturally not as close as that of brothers with the same father and mother."

"People, you have to get along with each other before you know if the person is to your taste. You haven't even tried it, but you're backing out?" Yuan Buwei cheered Lu Bing up, "When you walked in angrily with Han'er just now, you looked so handsome."

"Too handsome?" Lu Bing was stunned for a moment. When he saw his sister-in-law nodding with a smile, his ears suddenly became hot. "I just get angry when I think about my brother being bullied by his uncle's family again."

“Has this happened a lot in the past?”

"After my eldest brother's biological mother passed away, my father basically stopped communicating with the Jiang family. Uncle Jiang usually went to the military camp to look for my eldest brother. Occasionally, my father saw him, and each time it was quite unpleasant." Lu Bing sighed, "My eldest brother rarely comes home, and even if we want to help, we don't know how to help."

"fine."

Yuan Buwei smiled and said, "My parents-in-law have been living outside for several days. Second brother, Han'er, you two should go and bring them back now."

"Now?"

"Yes, right now." Yuan Buwei nodded. "The young marquis has been wronged by his uncle. If his parents can show their concern in time, do you think their relationship will improve?"

Lu Bing thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law is the one who has the solution. I will go with my third sister now."

"Han'er, when you meet your parents-in-law, you must understand today's situation and every detail. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Lu Han immediately understood what his sister-in-law meant. "Don't worry, brother. Let's go."

When her parents-in-law were away, in addition to spending time with Lu Sui, Yuan Buwei also had a lot of communication with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

They both had pure hearts and admired Lu Sui from the bottom of their hearts and wanted to be close to him.

But because of his status, he didn't dare to get closer.

In short, if Lu Sui's thoughts were changed, this family would no longer be lifeless.

It was time for lunch.

Seeing that the door still showed no sign of opening, Yuan Buwei ordered Chenxiang to prepare the meal.

As a result, the door at the back was slammed open.

"Lu Sui, you have grown up now. Since you don't care about family affection, from today on, you are no longer my nephew. I will sever all ties with you! If your mother knew that the son she gave birth to at the cost of her life was an ungrateful person, she would be so sad that she would not want to be reincarnated."

Jiang Wankun cursed as he walked.

Fortunately, Yuan Buwei had sent the servants out of the courtyard in advance.

She didn't stop him, but just watched Jiang Wankun perform a one-man show silently.

"Butler Ye, go prepare some tea. It's obvious that my uncle is thirsty."

Jiang Wankun heard the voice and turned to face Yuan Buwei, stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?"

"Uncle, what you ask is very strange. I'm not here, so where should I be?" Yuan Buwei looked at Jiang Wankun innocently.

"Neither you nor Lu Sui are good people."

"Only parents will unconditionally meet the needs of their children. How about this, uncle? If you recognize me and the young marquis as your parents on the spot, I will pay the five thousand taels you want myself."

"You, Yuan Buwei, you cheap thing, how dare you take advantage of me." Jiang Wankun was so angry that his face turned pale. Due to the tall and strong Li Yan standing next to Yuan Buwei, he could only rely on his mouth to vent his anger.

"Uncle, you are a man whose half body is about to be buried in the ground, but you are still alive and well, but you have problems with your brain and you don't care about your dignity anymore. Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Yuan Buwei has never lost when it comes to arguing with people.

"Okay, from now on, I won't come to the Wanning Marquis' Mansion even if eight sedan chairs are sent to invite me." Jiang Wankun flicked his sleeves and walked out arrogantly.

"Butler Ye, please send my uncle and his family off for me. Remember to give them the gifts I prepared."

"Yes."

"Li Yan, go back first. We don't need you today."

Li Yan glanced at the open door and said, "Madam, are you all right here alone? The young marquis is..."

"He and I are husband and wife, so I naturally know how to get along with him." Yuan Buwei gave Li Yan a comforting smile, "Go back to the barracks now and check everyone. If you find him, remember to bring him here to confess his crime to the young marquis."

Li Yan clasped his fists and said, "I will go now."

Yuan Buwei stepped into the room and clearly felt a sense of low pressure.

She walked step by step to the bed and looked down at Lu Sui lying on the bed.

Compared to the last time when he felt hopeless after a big fight with his father-in-law, he now looks despair-filled and feels like he’s at the end of his rope.

The Jiang family is very important to him.

The result was that all my sincerity was wasted.

"Want to cry? Need a shoulder to lean on?"

Lu Sui's scattered eyes gradually focused on Yuan Buwei's face: "Pension, did you arrange it?"

"You don't need to thank me for calming the troops."

"Yuan Buwei, I don't care what Butler Ye said to you before, but I don't want to talk about the military camp..."

"Why are you so nervous?" Yuan Buwei interrupted Lu Sui. "When you recover from your injury, you can just pay me back with interest. The portion from the court was originally supposed to be paid by the court, and it cannot be confused with what you gave."

Lu Sui was speechless for a moment.

"It's better to have a falling out with my uncle, so that you don't have to continue to help the evildoers."

"Yuan Buwei, who helped the tyrant to commit atrocities?" Lu Sui said this without any confidence.

"Just because your uncle asked you for money in front of everyone, I knew you had helped his family settle many problems in the past. You should be thankful that you have some meritorious service, otherwise the impeachment memorials from the civil servants would probably pile up into a small mountain." Yuan Buwei sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over to look at Lu Sui. "Relatives don't maintain their relationship by asking for things."

"Yuan Buwei, are you going to lecture me again at length?"

"I've asked Li Yan to check out the candidates in the military camp. While your uncle is still angry, you'd better cut the Gordian knot quickly, so that they won't get into trouble and implicate you."
