"Han'er, let's go. I'll go with you to take a look." Yuan Buwei pulled Lu Han and left.

"Hey, Awei, wait for me, I'm going too." Lu Sui waved his hand, and the servant immediately pushed him forward.

"Why...are they all gone?"

Wan Ning Hou looked at the food on the table and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

"Of course they have to eat it. I asked the kitchen to work hard to prepare it, so it can't be wasted. As for the leftovers, when they are hungry, we can just ask the kitchen to heat them up and eat them." Lady Wanning Marquis realized her mistake quickly and started to eat with relish.

"Hey, ma'am..."

Wan Ning Hou pushed his wife and said, "If Young Master Xie really becomes our son-in-law, would you be happy?"

"It doesn't matter whether I am happy or not. The key is to see what Han'er thinks." Lady Wanning paused and turned to look at her husband. "No matter what the relationship between Young Master Xie and the Xie family will be like in the future, it will definitely be a difficult process. Han'er just said a few very good words. You can't even take care of yourself. If there is one more person like me, won't that add a burden to you?"

Wan Ning Hou sighed, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded: "I never thought that these words would come from Han'er's mouth."

"So, Master, if we really want to agree to this marriage, we must be prepared to be enemies with the Xie family in the next few years, and we must help Young Master Xie. This is not as simple as giving some money and finding some guards. The noble families are intertwined and the conspiracies and intrigues among them will become deeper and deeper once involved. Master, you must think carefully about it." Lady Wanning Marquis poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her husband. "As for me, I just hope that Han'er can marry someone she likes and be happy. I also don't want her to be a flower in a greenhouse, knowing nothing. We can protect her for a while, but we can't protect her for a lifetime."

Marquis Wan Ning looked at the soup in front of him, picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

Then he put the bowl heavily on the table and said, "As long as he dares to ask for marriage and Han'er is willing to marry, I will agree to this marriage. What's wrong with Xie? I have escaped death many times since I was a child. It's just one life. I can just fight them."

"Master, why are you still like this? Don't you think about the children?"

"Which of our children is a coward?" Wan Ninghou straightened his back with a proud look on his face, "And my eldest daughter-in-law, the reputation she has earned for me in just half a year is enough to make our ancestors stand up and dance around her."

"Master is right. If it weren't for Bu Wei, I can't believe how difficult life would be for the Wanning Marquis' Mansion."

"So, we just need to silently support the children and find ways to earn more money so that we can lend a hand when they need money." Seeing that there was no one in the dining room, Wan Ninghou reached out and hugged his wife, "Our future life will definitely get better and better."

midnight.

Xie Linan opened his eyes for a moment, and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, feeling dazed for a second.

"you're awake?"

Lu Han ran up and looked at Xie Linan with sparkling eyes: "Would you like some water?"

"You..." Xie Linan's eyes gradually focused on Lu Han, "Why are you here?"

"To take care of you."

The teacup was a little hot, Lu Han shook his hand: "You haven't answered me yet, do you want to drink some water?"

"Did you receive any instructions?"

"what?"

Lu Han looked puzzled.

"I say, you can put the cup down. I'm not so weak that I can't get up." As Xie Linan spoke, he slowly stood up. Unexpectedly, when he saw the clean and unfamiliar clothes on his body, his body froze.

"Your clothes were changed by your second brother, and you are wearing his clothes. Anyway, this is not the first time you have worn them." Lu Han simply sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing Xie Linan slowly sitting up and leaning against the bed, he looked up at him and said, "Sister-in-law said that you are overworked. What are you doing that makes you so busy that you don't even have time to sleep?"

"No."

"what is that?"

"I can't sleep." Xie Linan looked up at Lu Han, "I don't remember when it started. I couldn't sleep all night long."

"So you don't sleep at night, and you don't sleep during the day?"

Seeing Xie Linan nodded, Lu Han realized the seriousness of the problem: "Sister-in-law said that if a person can eat, drink, sleep and defecate, then there is no problem. You ate very little just now, and you didn't sleep well, so can you..."

Xie Linan narrowed his eyes and glanced over.

Lu Han is really a master at ruining the atmosphere.

But, she still doesn't realize it.

"Uh... I mean, do you want to let your sister-in-law take care of your body? You always have trouble sleeping. If this goes on for a long time, your body will collapse." Seeing Xie Linan's face turn cold, Lu Han realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly tried to make amends, "Anyway, you are a guest of my house now. If you have nowhere to go, you can stay at my house temporarily."

"Living in your house? In what capacity?" Xie Linan asked with a snort of laughter, "Guest?"

"If you don't want to be a guest, what do you want to be?" Lu Han frowned and thought seriously, "Relative?"

Xie Linan: ...

He now really suspected that the Lu Han who had argued with him in the dining room just now and the Lu Han in front of him were two different people.

"Did I say something wrong again?"

Lu Han covered his mouth, but gave up the next second: "Forget it, I seem to be this kind of person, I say things well, but when it comes to doing things, I don't have the courage."

"You, you are already very good."

"Eh?" Lu Han looked at Xie Linan, his big eyes blinking. Could it be that he wanted to comfort himself?

"I mean..." Xie Linan was a little embarrassed by Lu Han's stare, "I mean, at least you have this awareness. Of course, it also has something to do with the environment you live in. Your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are both excellent, so you naturally want to be like them."

"Master Xie is indeed knowledgeable and talented. He knows what I am thinking at a glance. But I have also thought that no matter how hard I try, I will never become a person like the eldest sister-in-law or the second sister-in-law." Lu Han raised his head, his eyes sparkling, "I am who I am. I don't need to compare myself with others?"

Xie Linan's eyes moved. Sometimes, he envied Lu Han's free and easy attitude.

"You just said that you don't want to be a burden to me, but the truth is, after you marry me, you will constantly encounter dangers, difficulties, countless oppressions, and trampling on your personality. You will feel that you are just a poor person who is unwanted and unloved in this world. No, you are a waste. You are a waste who can't succeed in anything and keeps sacrificing and consuming the people around you."

"Nonsense!"

Lu Han's mind got heated, and he stood up quickly: "Who told you these words? Do you believe them?"

"It's not indoctrination. I grew up in this kind of environment." Xie Linan looked up and saw Lu Han's expression gradually changing. He suddenly wanted to know, if she saw his true face, would she be scared to the point of screaming?
