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

Meng Zhuxin immediately laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter: "Sister Bu Wei, you are so humorous. I never believe in true love in this world. I only believe in what I can get? Power, money, status? Sister Bu Wei, which one can you give me?"

"I believe you are aware of the current situation of the Wanning Marquisate. For now, marrying Lu Bing will allow you to escape from your bad family and avoid the schemes of your elder sister. As for the power, money, and status you mentioned, you need to create them yourself. What others give you is never as reliable as what you earn yourself."

Meng Zhuxin was very surprised. Yuan Buwei's answer made her smile grow wider. "Sister Buwei, aren't you afraid that I will steal your limelight after I marry you?"

"You can steal my limelight because you are capable. Besides, there is no conflict of interest between you and me." Yuan Buwei said with a smile, "Although the young marquis is not so close to his younger brother Lu Bing, my second brother admires the young marquis very much. As long as the two brothers are always of one mind, why should I make trouble for no reason?"

"People change. I've heard a lot of stories about brothers fighting over a little profit and getting hurt."

Meng Zhuxin is pessimistic.

Because in her life, she has never felt the love of her parents, the care of her elder sister, or the kindness of others.

"No matter how much I say, it's better for you to experience it yourself after you marry into the family." Yuan Buwei smiled back.

"Well... generally speaking, Sister Buwei, what you said gives me no reason to refuse." Meng Zhuxin tilted her head and smiled at Yuan Buwei, "In fact, at the banquet that day, Lu Bing was not my target. Those hypocritical young masters of noble families just wanted to spend the night with me. None of them were sincere. Lu Bing, this silly boy, didn't know that I would sell him out sooner or later."

"He just thinks that this is the fate that God has created for the two of you. He is very generous."

Meng Zhuxin:?

"I'm not lying to you. Think about it. If it were another family, and the eldest brother who was always so dazzling suddenly became a useless person, wouldn't the younger brother try his best to show off, hoping to gain his father's approval in the shortest possible time and replace his eldest brother's position?"

"Isn't the Second Young Master planning to open a shop now?" Meng Zhuxin had a look of doubt on his face.

"I was the one who suggested he open a medicine shop. Whether it can make money is one thing, but he thought that by opening a medicine shop, the Swift Wind Camp would no longer have to run around for lack of medicinal materials in the future."

"Sister Bu Wei, are you saying that he is willing to open this medicine shop for the young marquis's military camp?"

"Well, the young marquis is strong-willed. He would rather be short of food and clothing than spend the money he saves on the Swift Wind Camp. My father-in-law knows that he is arrogant. If we offer to support him, the young marquis will definitely not be happy, so he has been secretly providing help to the Swift Wind Camp. Under the influence of my father-in-law, my second brother naturally also supports the young marquis. Of course, the biggest contributor is naturally my mother-in-law. If she hadn't trained my second brother and third sister to be good to the young marquis since they were young, their relationship would not be so harmonious now."

"The young marquis and the second young master are not born of the same mother, but they can live in harmony with each other. There are really family members in this world who truly care about you and hope for your well-being." Meng Zhuxin's eyes revealed a trace of envy, "It turns out that the second young master is not stupid, he has a pure heart."

"I also guessed that my second brother was willing to open a medicine shop because he wanted to propose a plan to marry you to my parents-in-law after he had made some achievements. However, plans cannot keep up with changes." Yuan Buwei said, "While you are staying in Wanning Marquis' Mansion these few days, you can take a good look at my second brother and see if he is worthy of marrying."

"Thank you, Sister Bu Wei, for telling me so much about the Second Young Master. I will definitely get along well with him." Meng Zhuxin smiled sweetly, "Sister Bu Wei, can you teach me how to make medicinal food first?"

"it is good."

After spending the whole morning, Meng Zhuxin learned five medicinal dishes.

"This medicinal meal has the effect of replenishing qi and blood. Lu Bing has been leaving early and coming back late these days. Can you deliver it to him?" Yuan Buwei handed the food box to Meng Zhuxin. "Given your elder sister's personality, she will definitely make some noise and ask you to go back and take care of her."

"There are many maids serving her in the mansion. She wants me to go back because she wants to plot against me." Meng Zhuxin took the food box and smiled coldly, "Zhang Kun said that he must be my eldest sister in this life, but in fact he often visits brothels."

"Have you investigated him?"

This was something Yuan Buwei didn't know in her previous life.

"I haven't investigated, but I can always smell different scents of makeup on him, and his steps are unsteady, which shows that he has done that kind of thing too much."

Meng Zhuxin's words actually cleared up Yuan Buwei's doubts about Zhang Kun's seeds being bad.

If you do that wrong and damage the roots, how good can the seeds be?

"Do you smell it every time, or every now and then?"

"My elder sister often goes home and stays for half a month. She can't sleep without Zhang Kun by her side at night, so no matter how late it is, Zhang Kun will come back to accompany her. I have to make him supper. Basically, I can smell it every time I go there."

"He's very good at planning his time. He does his work during the day, goes to brothels to have fun at night, and finally has to sleep with me late at night. It's quite tiring." This kind of schedule is fine for a short time, but if it goes on for a long time, the person will definitely collapse.

"In fact, long before my elder sister planned to let me be Zhang Kun's concubine, I was thinking about whether I should go to the brothel and catch Zhang Kun in the act. But there are so many brothels in the capital, and most of the owners behind them are powerful people. Zhang Kun is a young master, and I am a weak woman. Even if I can catch him in the act, what can I do? He might even bite me back."

"Perhaps, I have a way to find out which brothel he is in?" Yuan Buwei might not be able to find him in other places, but in a place with brothels, she could ask Uncle Chu, who runs a gambling house, and even find out what color pants Zhang Kun wore that day. "I've kept this in mind. This way, you have one more bargaining chip to negotiate with Meng Zhuyan."

"Negotiation?"

"Yes."

Yuan Buwei nodded, "You can marry into the Wanning Marquis's mansion only to escape the fate of being Zhang Kun's concubine, but it does not mean that you have drawn a clear line with the Yong'an Marquis. If your elder sister knew that your life was getting better and better, she would be jealous and crazy, and would definitely try every means to plot against you." Yuan Buwei analyzed, "The younger sister who was once trampled under her feet and manipulated at will has transformed into a legitimate wife favored by her husband's family. If it were you, would you be able to swallow this?"

"Of course I can't swallow it, and I'll even come up with crazy plans, but my original plan was to draw a clear line between myself and the Yong'an Marquisate. I don't want to be controlled by my parents anymore, and I don't want to be a walking corpse. I want everyone who hurts me to pay the price!"
