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

"Master, the Third Young Master has been laughing in the room for almost half an hour."

The servant had to report every five minutes. After several trips, he was already sweating profusely, but he couldn't stop feeling excited.

"Has he had breakfast?" Shangguan Jing really wanted to go visit her brother right now, but her reason told her that she couldn't go.

"The Third Young Master only ate a few pieces of cakes. He said he wanted to wait for Miss Qiong Yue to come back before eating together."

"Then what are you standing there for? Why don't you ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast? Oh, and ask them to use their best skills."

"Yes, yes, slave, go right away."

"Sister, you look so excited, but we haven't even started yet." Shangguan Fu, who was yawning at the table, was not so optimistic.

"They slept together last night and kissed in the morning. I think this is a done deal." Shangguan Jing looked relieved. "Qiong Yue is such a lovable girl."

"Eldest sister, have you ever thought that if she marries into our family, she won't be able to accompany our third brother? Her ideal is to defend her country and kill the enemy on the battlefield." Shangguan Fu admired Meng Qiongyue's ideals very much, but if she became her younger brother's wife, she naturally hoped that she could accompany her younger brother.

"It's a good thing that she has ideals and ambitions. I'm just afraid that she will achieve nothing."

"I heard that the eldest sister wants to fully support Qiong Yue?"

"I said last night that no matter how big the Shangguan family's business is, if there is no backer, there will always be hidden dangers. Even without Qiong Yue, I would think about how to get close to Young Marquis Lu." Shangguan Jing chuckled, her eyes full of relaxed joy. "Now it's good. With Qiong Yue, she can not only serve as a bridge between us, but most importantly, she can control my third brother."

"Can she control my third brother?" Shangguan Fu was skeptical.

"You were not here yesterday, so you missed it. Qiong Yue was so ruthless when she dealt with my third brother. You know my third brother's temper. If it was someone else, do you think he would have let her go?" Shangguan Jing walked to the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip. "No, I'll go to the kitchen and watch it myself. It would be bad if Qiong Yue didn't like the food."

"Eldest sister, you are exaggerating."

"Second sister, we have worked hard for most of our lives, don't you want your third brother to inherit the family business so that we can live a carefree life?"

Shangguan Fu frowned and said, "The current achievements of the Shangguan family are all the result of our hard work. We can't give them all to my third brother, right?"

"Well, if something goes wrong, there has to be a scapegoat, right? You don't want to deal with those profit-seeking guys every time, do you? Especially since they always speak in a sarcastic tone and look at you with ill intent. If Third Brother goes, do you think they will still be so presumptuous?"

"I don't know about that. I only know that if my third brother goes there, he will definitely raise his fist after hearing their sarcastic words and seeing their malicious looks." Shangguan Fu covered her mouth and chuckled. "No wonder my eldest sister keeps talking about it. It turns out that this is her idea. Come on, I'll go to the kitchen with you and supervise the cook."

After Meng Qiongyue confirmed that her sister and brother-in-law had reconciled, she wanted to return to Shangguan Mansion as soon as possible, but her mother detained her and talked to her for a long time.

It wasn't until her mother mentioned her age that Meng Qiongyue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mother, do you think I'm old enough to get married?"

"Qiong Yue, you finally understood what I said." Madam Yong'an slapped her thigh and waved her hand. The maids lined up with portraits one after another. "Qiong Yue, each of the young talents in these portraits was carefully selected by your father and I. Take a look and see if there is anyone you like. I will help you make an appointment with him."

"But I don't want to get married."

"You are so confused!" Lady Yong'an glared at her eldest daughter. "Go out and ask around. How can a woman refuse to get married when she is old enough to get married?"

"Mother, did you and father do some business and spend all the money in the house?" Meng Qiongyue was not angry, but asked with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? I won't talk about other things, but when it comes to accounting, there is no woman in the whole capital who is as good at managing a household as I am." The wife of Yong'an Marquis looked proud, "And your father, he is completely obedient under my control. If I tell him to go east, he dares not go west."

"Then why are you in such a hurry to marry me off? Can't you and my father support me?"

"Uh?"

Lady Yong'an was choked by her daughter's question.

"I've only been home for less than a year, and you're already anxious to marry me off. It seems that no matter how hard I try to achieve success and how I want to bring honor to you, you just think I should get married and find a good man?" Meng Qiongyue sighed, pointing at the portrait in front of her and asked, "You've carefully selected her over the years, so how can you guarantee that I won't be bullied after I marry her? You know, you've been bullying Zhuxin because of that fake daughter, and Zhuxin is your biological daughter, but you bullied her like that. If I marry a stranger, are you sure they'll treat me well?"

"Zhu Xin married well, didn't she? You can't just judge her. Besides, we feel that we owe you, so we spent a lot of time and effort to find a good husband for you."

"Zhu Xin didn't marry well, it's because the Wan Ning Marquis' family is very good. Even if my brother-in-law marries someone else, he will treat her well." Meng Qiongyue shook her head and stood up. "These people are all good, but they are not suitable for me. Mother, you and father don't have to worry about my lifelong affairs."

"How can that be possible?" Lady Yong'an stamped her feet. "If you wait a few years longer to get married, you'll be an old maid, and it will be difficult for you to even have children."

"Oh? So you want me, your daughter, to give birth to a child for a family without offspring?" Meng Qiongyue said seriously, "Mother, this is against the law. We can't do it."

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an was so angry that her face turned green. She threw the jar into the air and said, "Just make me angry. When you are old, I will see what you will do."

"Don't worry about that. I asked Zhuxin and she said she would support me."

The wife of Marquis Yong'an was completely silent, and the flaring of her nostrils expressed her dissatisfaction with her eldest daughter.

"Mother, I have something else to do. I'll leave first." Meng Qiongyue grabbed an apple from the fruit plate and turned her head before leaving. "Mother, please don't complain to father. Otherwise, you probably won't see me for the whole year."

The wife of Marquis Yong'an was so angry that she wanted to pinch someone's Ren Zhong point. As soon as her eldest daughter left, she started to vent her anger.

"Take down all these portraits. They make me upset just looking at them."

"Yes."

After sitting for half a day, Marquis Yong'an still didn't give up, so she changed her clothes, got on the carriage and left the house.

"Meng Qiongyue, look at the sun outside. Is it setting?"

As soon as Meng Qiongyue entered Shangguan Que's room, she was hit by a huge resentment.
