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

"Brother Lin'an, can you calculate how long it has been since the Xie family incident?" Lu Han asked calmly without pushing him away.

Xie Linan thought for a moment and said, "Three or four years."

"Yes, for three or four years, I've been at Xie's almost every day. Everyone knows me. They..." Lu Han paused, his face flushed, and he said shyly, "They all think I'm your wife and the mistress of Xie's. But the last time I went home, I found that my parents had aged a lot, and their hair had turned white. I'm afraid that if I marry here in the future, I won't be able to go back whenever I want like I do now. So, I really want to go back and spend more time with them. It's definitely not because I feel wronged or for any other reason."

After Xie Linan finished listening, he slowly let go of Lu Han and looked at her peaceful face. He felt guilty: "I didn't think it through. I only cared about myself and ignored you."

"Don't blame yourself. You're so busy. If you still have to take care of me, your body won't be able to handle it." Lu Han smiled and put his arm around Xie Linan's neck. "If you miss me, you can come to Wanning Marquis's Mansion to see me. Of course, I also want to stay at my eldest brother's house for a few days and play with my nieces and nephews for a few days, in case I don't go for a long time and they don't recognize me."

"Then I'll go with you."

Xie Lin'an's personality of not wanting strangers to approach him has actually never changed.

But in front of Lu Han, he became a little clingy and even acted like a spoiled child.

This was something Lu Han had never thought of before, but later on, he got used to it.

After all, Xie Linan's face is too authoritative.

As soon as he called his name, Lu Han's bones went soft.

"it is good."

Lu Han nodded with a smile. After packing her luggage, she went to see Mrs. Xie and promised her that she would be back after a while.

She took a carriage back home.

"Han'er, why are you back?" Lady Wanning thought she was hallucinating and saw her third daughter.

"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Lu Han pouted and stamped his feet, "Isn't this my home? I can't come back?"

"That's not what I meant. I meant, would Lin'an be willing to let you come back?" Lady Wanning gave her daughter a blank look. "It just so happens that I need to go see your sister-in-law. Can you pack up and come with me?"

"Now?"

"Yes, Pingping and An'an can't leave me now. I came back just to get some clothes to change into." When Wan Ninghou mentioned his granddaughter and grandson, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "You don't know, Pingping and An'an are so adorable."

"What about Mianmian? Don't you like it?"

"Mianmian, that girl, has moved into the palace."

"what?"

Lu Han was shocked: "Why is she living in the palace?"

"I have never seen a child as talkative as her in my life. The last time she entered the palace, she made the emperor and the empress laugh. Some time ago, the empress was too tired and had a miscarriage. When your sister-in-law treated her, Mianmian went with her. As a result, the empress fell in love with Mianmian at once. Now that the empress missed her, Mianmian came to the palace."

"I see. Mianmian is the eldest daughter of Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law. She is so good, which means Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law taught her well."

"That day, she even patted the emperor's chest and said that when she grew up, she wanted to borrow your eldest brother's class to help the emperor protect the country. The emperor was very moved." Lady Wanning Marquis smiled, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and get some snacks. You go back to your room and pack up, and then we'll leave."

"understood."

After returning to his family, Lu Han felt refreshed and relaxed.

Took my little niece and nephew to play in the yard.

When the two children walked, they walked crookedly, like cute little penguins.

"Han'er, come and take a rest."

Yuan Buwei waved at her: "I made your favorite snacks."

The nanny took the two children back to the room for a nap. When Lu Han saw the table full of delicious food, his eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, you really understand me. I dare not eat these things when I am in Xie's."

"What's the matter? What do you want to eat? Can Xie restrict you?" Yuan Buwei asked in surprise.

"Not really. After all, it's someone else's territory. I can't just do whatever I want like I do at home. Besides..." Lu Han pursed his lips and said, "I don't want the Xie family to think that I'm showing off because I have Brother Lin'an to back me up. Besides, I can't embarrass you."

"Han'er, apart from your identity, everything you have now is your own achievement. We have never helped you once, and you have never asked us for help. You have done it all by yourself. Why should they have a problem with you? If they really have a problem with you, then that is Xie Lin'an's problem. Let him deal with it."

"Sister-in-law..."

Lu Han looked at Yuan Buwei in surprise: "I found that you are different than before."

"What's the difference?"

"You used to be so gentle and kind. Even when Mu Qing got angry with you countless times, you always greeted him with a smile. You are nothing like now... You are so majestic."

"Because I have achieved what I have now by myself. If you hadn't settled the Xie family's long-standing bad debts, Xie Lin'an would probably still be in a mess. Even if you don't like each other, he has to be polite to you just for this reason. In fact, when people get along with each other, it seems to be maintained by feelings, but in fact it is for interests. We women always like to put feelings first and ignore the things that can really make us stand out in the world."

"What my sister-in-law said makes sense. No matter what, it's good to have a skill. You won't be restricted at critical moments. But if there is really no other way, you have to compromise temporarily, because being alive is a chance to turn things around. Never compromise with fate. What kind of person you want to be and what kind of life you want to live depends on yourself."

"It seems that Han'er's insights are quite profound." Yuan Buwei was very pleased. "As for me, I am now worried about Qiongyue. She seems to be more free and easy than you, but in fact, she is not as insightful as you."

"She is a smart person. I believe if she is given a little more time, she will be able to understand it."

"Yes, everyone has their own path to walk. If I interfere too much, it will be detrimental to her growth." Yuan Buwei smiled slightly, holding Lu Han's hand and said, "Han'er, if one day you look back at your past choices and find that you made the wrong choice, don't blame yourself, because that was the best choice you could make at the moment. Love yourself first before loving others. Always remember this."

"Sister-in-law, what you said is so good. Your words give me a lot of strength and help me grow. In the future, I will pass on my strength to more women so that they can also stand tall in the sun. I firmly believe that I can do it."

Yuan Buwei held Lu Han's hand tightly, they smiled at each other and made beautiful promises for the future.

Two months later, Xie Linan finished his work.

Suddenly he came with a betrothal gift to propose marriage.
