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

Yuan Hanshu was like a headless fly. He tried every possible way but failed to get his wife out of the Dali Temple.

When he was at his wit's end, he went to the Mansion of Marquis Wanning.

I thought that just like last time, I would be able to see my daughter Yuan Buwei smoothly.

As a result, I heard the housekeeper Ye from the Wanning Marquis's residence say, "Master Yuan, don't you know? The young lady has been ill for two days."

"Sick?" Yuan Hanshu looked incredulous. "She is as strong as a bull, how could she be sick? Is she deliberately avoiding me?"

Lu Sui, who was standing not far away, instantly frowned when he heard Yuan Hanshu's words.

"Master Yuan, since the young lady married into the Wanning Marquis's mansion, she has been busy taking care of the young marquis. During the most difficult days, she didn't sleep for several days and nights. When the young marquis gets better, she will start to take care of the affairs of the mansion. Now it's more than a month away from New Year's Eve, and the young lady has to start worrying about the New Year's goods. Even if you say that the young lady is like an ox, she is made of iron. How can she not get sick?"

Butler Ye's moving words instantly coaxed Yuan Hanshu.

But since he was here, he definitely wouldn't be willing to leave like this: "Even if I can't see her, then I..."

"Master Yuan, if you have anything to say, why don't you tell me?"

Yuan Hanshu was stunned, turned his head to look at Marquis Wan Ning who was walking towards him, and at that moment, he ran away.

"Master Yuan?"

It was not until Marquis Wanning called out again that Yuan Hanshu came back to his senses and forced a smile: "Greetings, Marquis Wanning."

"Master Yuan, now that you are here, please go sit in the study."

"Uh... No, since Bu Wei is sick, I'll come another day." Yuan Hanshu laughed awkwardly and prepared to leave.

"You can come back another day, but Madam Yuan, who is still in the Dali Temple, may not be able to endure it." Seeing Yuan Hanshu's body stiffen, Wan Ninghou said in a cold tone, "The Dali Temple is a place where serious criminals are detained. Even if Madam Yuan is not bullied, the environment in the prison is dark and damp. Even a young and strong person will get sick if he stays in there for ten days or half a month, not to mention Madam Yuan, who is already old."

Yuan Hanshu swallowed subconsciously after hearing this, and looked up at the smiling Wan Ning Hou, wondering if he was saying these words to help him?

Right.

Since you are here yourself, what are you afraid of?

"Okay, since Marquis Wanning sincerely invites you, I will respectfully obey your order."

Your home is almost gone, yet you're still putting on airs.

Marquis Wanning cursed in his heart but kept smiling on his face as he took Yuan Hanshu to the study.

After they left.

Lu Sui asked the servant to push the bicycle and followed behind.

After the maid brought the tea and snacks, the study suddenly became quiet.

Yuan Hanshu took a sip of tea, looked at the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin, and said casually: "The weather is cold this year, and the charcoal in the city is in short supply. Even the lowest quality charcoal has tripled in price. I didn't expect that the Wanning Marquis's Mansion could afford silver charcoal."

"It was Bu Wei who reminded me of this."

"Bu Wei?" Yuan Hanshu frowned and muttered quietly, "Why didn't she send some charcoal home?"

Marquis Wanning didn't expect that Yuan Hanshu would blame his daughter-in-law just because of his casual words.

If he had not promised Sui'er and Bu Wei to deal with Yuan Hanshu, he would have beaten the other party to a pulp.

"Master Yuan, I won't say anything else. You don't want to hear it anyway. I'll just say one thing: do you think Bu Wei is your daughter?"

"Of course. If I didn't treat her as a daughter, why would I give birth to her?"

Wan Ning Hou was speechless at Yuan Hanshu's self-righteousness, and replied patiently: "Once you give birth to a child, you should raise her, but you have never raised Bu Wei for a single day, and now you want her to repay you for giving birth to her?"

"Marquis Wanning, what do you mean? Are you going to teach me a lesson?" Yuan Hanshu immediately looked unhappy and stood up to leave. "It seems that Marquis Wanning and I have nothing to say to each other. I'm leaving first."

"I am also a father, and I have one more child than you, a son and a daughter. If I only raise my son and not my daughter, I will suck her blood when she grows up." Wan Ninghou raised his head and smiled at Yuan Hanshu. "I can't do such a shameless thing. Lord Yuan, you can think about it carefully. During this period of time, everyone in the Zongzheng Temple where you work has been talking about you. Is it because of your little daughter Yuan Jinse?"

"Jinse is now in the Jiang family and I don't know whether she is alive or dead. Madam is imprisoned in the Dali Temple and there is no news. I visited them and used all the connections I could, but everyone said they couldn't help. I was really at a loss, so I came to Wanning Marquis' Mansion to ask Buwei for help, but she fell ill. Not to mention that it was just a coincidence that she got sick. Why did she leave that day at the Jiang Mansion? Why didn't she stay?"

Boy, he's still complaining.

Now, not only Marquis Wan Ning wanted to beat him, but even Lu Sui, who was staying in the study next door and listening, also wanted to beat him.

"Then why do you come to Bu Wei? What can she do to help? She is a woman and not familiar with the Dali Temple. Do you want her to go to the palace to plead with the emperor? She is now from the Wanning Marquis Mansion and is my daughter-in-law. You can use your father's identity to force her to do this, but what about me as a father-in-law? Where do you put me?"

"I……"

Yuan Hanshu began to panic when he saw Marquis Wanning’s face suddenly turn cold.

"If she hadn't married here and was still your daughter, I wouldn't have any control over what you asked her to do, and I wouldn't have the right to control it. But now it's different. She has married into the Wanning Marquis's Mansion and has no relationship with her family anymore. Not to mention, you just gave birth to Bu Wei and didn't take care of her or teach her for a day. Parents are guilty of giving birth but not raising them, and parents are doomed to suffer if they don't teach them. This is a truth that everyone knows. Tell me, will everyone stand on your side or Bu Wei's side?"

"We didn't stop raising her, but she was favored by the head of Medicine King Valley..."

"I heard that you turned away because you disliked Bu Wei because she was a daughter. Madam Yuan saw this and thought Bu Wei was a burden, so she had the maid throw her out and let her die. Fortunately, the master of Medicine King Valley passed by and saved Bu Wei's life." After Wan Ning Hou finished speaking, he saw that Yuan Hanshu's eyes were about to pop out, so he hurriedly explained, "Don't rush to explain or get angry. Bu Wei didn't say this to me, but Master Shen said it to me."

"Impossible, why would Master Shen say these things to you?"

"Because he saw that you two treated Bu Wei badly, he was afraid that after she married into the Wanning Marquis's Mansion, you would continue to harass her and treat her badly, so he told me about her past in advance." Wanning Marquis looked at Yuan Hanshu with a half-smile on his face, "That's why I came to see you in person today. Otherwise, do you think you can enter the door of Wanning Marquis's Mansion?"

"If I really treated her badly, I should have strangled her to death the moment she was born!"
