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

"How old were you when you were a kid?"

"We entered the palace when we were five years old. I showed my talent for martial arts at that time, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to practice riding and archery with him. But Xie Lin'an was a sickly person. He drank three large bowls of medicine every day without even frowning. The Crown Prince arranged for him to practice calligraphy and reading with him because of his frail body."

"He is a sickly child, how come he was chosen by the family to be the prince's companion? Isn't he afraid that his disease will be transmitted to the prince?" This was the inside story that Yuan Buwei didn't know, because when she met him at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve in her previous life, she really didn't realize that he was a sickly child.

"Awei, you live in Medicine King Valley, so you naturally don't know much about the affairs of the royal families. In order to ensure the purity of their bloodline and not be polluted by outsiders, they sometimes marry their legitimate relatives. The bloodline is guaranteed, but the negative result is that the children born either die young, or are sick or stupid, resulting in a small number of offspring."

"You mean, Xie Linan is also like that?" As a doctor, Yuan Buwei was not very surprised by this situation. After all, the senior sister had explained it to everyone.

"Why was Xie Yunting chosen as the head of the Xie family at the age of 20? It was because his father was unwilling to marry a legitimate relative of the family, so he risked his life to break the rules and married an ordinary woman. Therefore, Xie Yunting was smart and smart since he was a child, and his body was also very healthy. However, the rules of the family for many years could not be easily broken just because of this probability. In order to prove that legitimate relatives could also give birth to healthy children, they forced Xie Linan's parents to get married. One of them was Xie Yunting's eldest brother, and the other was Xie Yunting's third sister. After Xie Linan was born, except for being weak, he did not have any intellectual problems. Instead, he was very smart. This made the elders of the Xie family overjoyed, but Xie Yunting's eldest brother and third sister could not accept Xie Linan, and eventually they set themselves on fire and died."

Yuan Buwei frowned when she heard this: "When they died, Xie Linan must have been very young, right?"

"He was just three years old, and was beginning to understand things. After his parents died, Xie Yunting took on the responsibility of taking care of him, so the uncle and nephew had always had a good relationship. However, Xie Yunting's love for him did not allow him to live like a normal person. When I was a child, I did not understand why he always opposed me. He either tricked me into eating poisoned cakes or pushed me into the lake. In short, I could feel that he was full of hostility towards me. However, the Wanning Marquisate and the Xie family did not have any conflicts, and when I was in the East Palace, he and I did not live together."

"Is he jealous of you?" Yuan Buwei said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, you guessed it right. This is what I figured out after I grew up. Because the prince is kind and generous, we can go home as long as we tell him. I have suffered a lot from Xie Linan, so I go home whenever I can. But Xie Linan has been staying in the East Palace. Except for a few days during the Chinese New Year, he stays in the East Palace all the time."

Lu Sui was a little frustrated. "At that time, I was like a frightened bird. I would react reflexively whenever I heard his name. Fortunately, we both left the palace. I went to the battlefield and had my own military camp. I chose a completely different path from him, so we didn't have any intersection. Awei, you really can't go to see him. He must know that I was injured. He must know that you married me. If he embarrasses you, I can't protect you."

"Since this person has hurt you, I have to go see him." Yuan Buwei curled her lips and smiled, "Your life is what he dreams of. He is jealous of you, but I think he should envy your unrestrained and carefree life more. However, because of the many shackles, he can't be as free and fearless as you."

"Awei, your analysis does make some sense. Xie is the one who killed his parents, but he is being trained as the successor. If it were me, I would definitely perish together with those pedantic old stubborn people."

"And what makes him most uncomfortable is his uncle Xie Yunting. If Xie Yunting wasn't an outlier, he would probably be able to accept his life experience. But he happened to be an outlier in the Xie family. His parents died because of Xie Yunting, but Xie Yunting protected him, raised him, and carefully nurtured him. Anyone would be mentally devastated if this happened to them."

Yuan Buwei was just stating the facts and did not sympathize with him, "But this cannot be a reason for him to hurt you or others."

"Awei, are you really going to meet him?" Lu Sui was a little nervous. After spending so much time with Awei, he gradually saw the beauty and shining points in Awei. If Xie Linan was to Awei...

No.

Lu Sui shook his head fiercely: "Awei, why don't you change someone and let your Uncle Chu meet him instead?"

"What? Are you afraid that he will snatch me away from you, or do you have no confidence in yourself?" Yuan Buwei saw through Lu Sui's inner thoughts at a glance, "Or do you think I am the kind of person who falls in love with every girl I meet?"

"of course not."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"I, I'm afraid he will pester you, using all means and thinking hard..."

"stop."

Yuan Buwei shouted, "Lu Sui, have you read too many storybooks? Although it is my duty to save the dying and the wounded, I am not a saint. I cannot think of redeeming someone just because he has a tragic life experience. If I really want to redeem someone, then I hope that person is you."

dong dong.

Lu Sui's heart beat faster and his face felt a little hot: "I, I'm fine."

"is it?"

Yuan Buwei looked at Lu Sui with a smile: "Tell me when you've made up your mind?"

"I won't say anything more. Thinking that you are going out today, I didn't sleep well last night. I want to rest." Lu Sui covered his head with the quilt, but he could not hear Yuan Buwei's voice. The next second, he slowly pulled the quilt off and met her smiling eyes.

Boom, boom, boom.

How to do?

My heart is beating even faster.

"Okay, okay, you take a rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare lunch for you."

Yuan Buwei didn't tease Lu Sui. She covered him with a quilt and left the room.

If what Lu Sui said was true, then in his previous life, Xie Lin'an publicly asked the emperor to grant him a marriage with the maid.

Is it possible...

Yuan Buwei suddenly had a guess.

That maid must be a spy arranged by the Xie family to be around him, and he used this method to get rid of this spy.

So the Xie family had gloomy faces that day, not because Xie Linan fell in love with a maid, but because they were dissatisfied with him for becoming too powerful and daring to play tricks.

If so.

I need to adjust my strategy.

"Young Madam, Young Madam!"

Chen Xiang came running over: "Master, Madam, I asked you to go to the study. I said I have something to talk to you about."

"Okay, Chenxiang, then go to the kitchen and prepare lunch."

"Okay, Madam."

When Yuan Buwei came to the study, she found that in addition to her parents-in-law, Lu Bing was also there.

He sat in a chair with his head down, but one could clearly see the blush spreading from his ears to his neck.
