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

After what happened at the emperor's birthday banquet, Yuan Buwei thought that her parents would come to see her sooner or later.

I was wondering why it took them so long to come?

But when she saw their expressions, Yuan Buwei understood.

For such a long time, they had to avoid the limelight on the one hand, and recuperate on the other.

"Bu, Bu Wei."

Yuan Buwei looked up and met her father's ingratiating expression. It was the first time she had seen her father like this.

"Father, Mother, are you here today to see me for medical treatment, or do you have something to tell me?" Yuan Buwei knelt down and saluted towards them.

"Bu Wei, Bu Wei..."

Mother Yuan staggered towards her daughter and reached out to pull her hand, but halfway through, she put it down awkwardly: "Bu Wei, your father and I are really in trouble now, you can't just stand by and watch us die."

"Mother-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Yuan Buwei didn't say anything, but the wife of the Marquis of Wanning spoke first: "You didn't say anything, but you just put a hat on me. It's so unsettling to hear that."

"No. Madam Wanning, the Yuan family is really at a critical moment, especially the master's career..." Mother Yuan began to wipe away tears as she spoke, "Bu Wei, we are still your parents."

"Mother, I have never denied that you are my parents, but you have never told me the details. Even if I want to help, I don't know how to help you." Yuan Buwei lowered her eyes and said softly.

"Bu Wei, you don't know that your father can no longer stay in Zongzheng Temple. Not only is he looked down upon all day long, but he is also not allowed to do anything." Yuan's mother cried, "Go and ask the emperor for mercy, okay? If this continues, your father will lose his official position."

After the birthday banquet, the emperor did not dismiss my father from his position.

When Yuanfu recovered from his injuries and returned to Zongzheng Temple, he found that everyone's attitude towards him had changed. More importantly, he had nothing to do every day, and even he was not allowed to organize books.

This is obviously an attempt to force Yuan's father to resign voluntarily.

But Yuan's father's family background was ordinary, and he had to work hard for many years before he reached the position of Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple.

He was really unwilling to resign and go home like this.

So he gritted his teeth and went to Zongzheng Temple early every day, but found that he was completely isolated by everyone.

He became a redundant person in Zongzheng Temple.

He really had no choice but to discuss with his wife before he shamelessly went to the Marquis Wanning's Mansion.

"Mother, you think too highly of me. I am not that proud that even the emperor has to listen to me." Yuan Buwei looked embarrassed. "Since father is not happy as an official, he should resign and go home to do some business to support the family."

"Yuan Buwei!" Yuan's mother's servility lasted no longer than an incense stick of time before she adopted the same arrogant attitude she had towards Yuan Buwei at home. "This is your father, and you didn't even go to beg for mercy, but you just said no. Do you still have us as your parents in your eyes?"

"Mother-in-law, Bu Wei is telling the truth. Not only is it useless for her to plead, even if the master and Sui'er go to plead together, it will be useless. Besides, Bu Wei is now Sui'er's wife and the mistress of the Wanning Marquis's Mansion. Everyone knows the whole story of what happened at the emperor's birthday banquet. Mother-in-law, are you crazy to think of asking Bu Wei to plead?"

With just one sentence, Lady Wanning confused Yuan's mother: "I... am not..."

"Mother-in-law, the master has gone out for something today, otherwise you wouldn't even have entered the gate of Marquis Wanning's mansion. In my opinion, if father-in-law still wants to save face, he should resign voluntarily. Maybe the emperor will let this matter go because of your diligence in the past." Lady Wanning's wife was not saying this to be shady, but was truly considering the two of them. Of course, the most important point was that she didn't want Bu Wei to be implicated by her parents.

"No, I absolutely cannot resign. I have worked so hard to get to where I am today."

"Father-in-law, you are just a small official in the Zongzheng Temple. No matter how well you do, you won't achieve anything."

"How could I fail to achieve results? I just, just lack an opportunity!" Yuan's father jumped up and interrupted the wife of Wanning Marquis in a harsh tone, then looked at Yuan Buwei and said, "Buwei, let's put aside all the past and live a good life as a family in the future."

"Father-in-law, I don't agree with what you said. What do you mean by letting the past be forgotten? You threw Bu Wei away when she was born. Just for this reason, let alone Bu Wei, I, as her mother-in-law, cannot let go of it!" Lady Wanning Hou had wanted to talk to the two men nicely, but she was really disgusted by their words.

"Bu Wei, are you really going to watch someone die without helping?" Yuan's father didn't look at the wife of Marquis Wan Ning, but looked at his daughter with tears in his eyes.

"Father, you are going to force me into a dead end. If I don't agree to you, I will be unfilial. But if I go to plead for mercy and somehow anger the emperor, it would be fine if I am punished, but if it involves the Marquis Wanning's Mansion, I will not be able to stay here any longer and will have to divorce the young marquis." Yuan Buwei was observing her parents' expressions while speaking. When she saw the joy that flashed across their eyes when they heard that she was going to divorce Lu Sui, she instantly realized the real purpose of her parents' visit today.

No, let me plead with the emperor to keep my father's official position.

Instead, he wanted to divorce Lu Sui and make room for his sister Yuan Jinse.

"Bu Wei, no matter what the outcome is, as long as you beg for mercy, there will always be a glimmer of hope."

"How about this? I will discuss it with the young marquis first. If he agrees to divorce, I will go and plead with the emperor. Anyway, father can stay in the Zongzheng Temple now. What do you think?"

"This……"

"Okay."

Yuan's father was a little hesitant and felt something was wrong.

Mother Yuan agreed quickly, and even pulled Yuan Buwei aside, whispering to her, "Buwei, you are now favored by your in-laws because you are valuable to them, and if they really care about you, as in-laws, we have spoken, so there is no reason for them not to help. Just now you said you wanted to divorce Lu Sui, but your mother-in-law didn't say a word, which shows that she has been dissatisfied with you for a long time. Buwei, after you divorce Lu Sui, I promise to find you another good marriage."

Mrs. Wanning was not deaf, and she heard everything Yuanmu said clearly.

But she knew that Bu Wei must have her own intention when she said that.

He said nothing and watched Yuanmu perform.

"Then you guys go back first. The young marquis and I..."

"Buwei, this matter cannot be delayed, otherwise Jinse..." Yuan's mother spoke too quickly and covered her mouth when she said her youngest daughter's name.

"Jinse?"

Yuan Buwei looked at her mother with a puzzled look on her face: "What does this have to do with my sister? Calculating the date, her pregnancy is already stable, right?"
