The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

The Empress Dowager had a faint smile on her face and glanced at the Queen Mother.

"Does the Queen Mother have any suggestions? Please share them with me."

Empress Dowager Wei Ling'er answered obediently.

"I heard that your Majesty Queen Mother recently received many daughters of ministers in the court, but why didn't she summon Wei Shushu, the youngest legitimate daughter of Duke Wei?

Shushu is now of marriageable age, has a very striking appearance, and is also very talented."

The Empress Dowager turned slightly and exchanged a glance with Rong Mama, who was serving beside her. She knew that the Empress Dowager must have a purpose in coming here.

"Oh? You seem to be quite interested in Wei Shushu."

The Queen Mother hurriedly said, "Mother, I have also thought that the Duke of Wei's family has been loyal and righteous for generations. If they can marry Prince Sheng, it would be a good thing."

The Empress Dowager snorted.

"Which family among the powerful officials in the court isn't a family of loyal and righteous people? It would be a good thing for the regent to marry into any of these families.

You strongly recommend your own sister, is it just to strengthen the power of your mother's family?"

The Empress Dowager's face turned pale. She was only asked by her mother to come and have a word with the Grand Empress Dowager.

I don’t really care whether it will succeed or not.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intentions. I simply truly believe that Shushu and the Regent are a good match."

The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment.

"Let's discuss this matter later. I still need to think it over carefully."

Seeing the attitude of the Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager did not dare to say anything more and had to leave.

The Empress Dowager sat alone on the couch, secretly pondering the plans of all parties.

It seems that Prince Sheng's marriage will affect the entire situation and is coveted by countless powerful people in the court.

Since that's the case, it would be better to fulfill Sheng'er's wish and agree to let him marry the daughter of that minor official, no matter whether she is really stupid or not.

At least if anything goes wrong in the future, it will be Sheng'er's own fault and I won't be blamed on it.

Xu Keke, who has a poor brain, has just received the conclusion of Mr. Chen's diagnosis.

"Second Madam, please rest assured. The Second Young Miss is fine. Based on my many years of experience in taking patients' pulses, the Second Young Miss is in good health, with abundant Qi and blood. She must be well taken care of by the mansion."

Mr. Chen spoke with a relaxed expression.

The second lady hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

"Master Chen is indeed a miracle doctor here. This diagnosis has finally put my heart at ease."

Master Chen responded modestly, "My lady, you are too kind. I can only do my best to help you."

But Xu Keke refused to do it, saying that now that she was better, how could she continue to beat Xu Yuanyuan?

And after letting Mr. Chen go, her mother would immediately accuse her of beating someone at the flower viewing banquet, right?

She stepped forward and grabbed Mr. Chen's old arm.

"Grandpa, I have a question. Every time I see Xu Yuanyuan, my hands itch and I want to beat her up. Is this considered mentally ill?"

Mr. Chen was almost unable to stand due to her pulling, and said helplessly.

"Don't worry, Second Miss. It's not that you're mentally ill, it's just that you're a little impatient.

You need to cultivate your character, control your emotions and behavior, and not be so impulsive and reckless."

Xu Keke pouted, looking unwilling.

"Humph, isn't cultivating one's mind and character just about encouraging people to be good and repaying evil with kindness?"

The second wife's face darkened and she scolded her daughter.

"Keke, don't be rude! Master Chen means well and doesn't want you to cause any trouble."

Xu Keke shrank her neck, but continued to mutter.

"I don't care. I just hate making wishes."

Mr. Chen sighed.

"Second Miss, anger can easily harm your body. Hurting others will eventually hurt yourself. I see that you are quite smart and insightful now. Even if you really have a grudge, don't just let it show on the surface. Can't you take it slow and steady?"

To do something sneaky?

Xu Keke stared at Master Chen with wide eyes.

You can't tell at all that he's still the sixth oldest, but his words did serve as a reminder to himself.

Xu Keke looked up at him with a sunflower-like smile and praised.

"Grandpa, you are indeed a graduate of the Imperial Hospital. You are truly a man of both inner and outer abilities."

Mr. Chen stroked his beard and straightened his back.

"No, no, Miss, you're too kind!"

The second wife smiled apologetically at Mr. Chen.

"Master Chen, I'm sorry to bother you. I've spoiled Keke."

Mr. Chen waved his hand.

"Madam, please don't blame yourself. The Second Miss has now regained consciousness. You just need to guide her well. I will take my leave first."

The second wife quickly asked housekeeper Liu to escort Master Chen out.

He turned around and looked at Xu Keke with a serious expression.

"My dear girl, you don't have to worry about running into Xu Yuanyuan again. She's been too embarrassed to show up lately. I just don't know if her wedding with Master Shen will go ahead as planned."

Xu Keke, who originally wanted to run back to the backyard as quickly as possible, stopped.

"Mother, what did you say? Xu Yuanyuan and Shen Qingfeng want to get married?"

Seeing how focused she was, the Second Lady couldn't help but feel a little worried. Was her daughter going to hate Xu Yuanyuan again for stealing her marriage?

Patting Xu Keke's head, the second lady said softly.

"Well, after Master Shen called off the engagement with us, he soon got engaged to Xu Yuanyuan. I was worried that you would be unhappy, so I didn't tell you."

Not happy?

impossible!

Xu Keke is very happy!

If I had known that the two of them were in cahoots with each other, I should have been more patient.

We can't ruin this good marriage between two like-minded people.

Xu Yuanyuan wanted to kill herself just to marry Shen Qingfeng.

She thought Shen Qingfeng was so good, but after marrying him, she realized how bad Shen Qingfeng was!

Okay, okay, bad guys will be punished by other bad guys, and two bad guys together will only punish each other.

There is no need to try to suppress them, they can kill themselves.

The more I think about it, the happier I am.

Xu Keke showed a smile of success on her face.

"Mother, I won't be unhappy. Shen Qingfeng wasn't a good person to begin with, and neither was Xu Yuanyuan. Now that they're a couple, it's perfect."

The Second Lady looked at her suspiciously.

"Keke, how do you know that Mr. Shen is not a good person?"

Oops, I slipped up again.

Xu Keke rolled her eyes and pulled the second wife's hand and acted coquettishly.

"Mother, think about it, my daughter was caught in a vortex of rumors at that time. Shen Qingfeng even came to the Xu family to propose marriage, but was driven away by the Regent.

He broke off the engagement with our family, and then immediately arranged a marriage with Xu Yuanyuan from the eldest wife's family. He must be desperate and desperate. He must have a reason for being desperate to get married."

The second wife was confused, but she didn't care about what happened to Master Shen. She patted Xu Keke's back and coaxed her.

"My dear daughter, I don't care what you think about them, but if you see them in the future, please don't act rashly. Just treat them as strangers!"

Xu Keke nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, mother. I won't provoke them again. I will stay home peacefully for the next few days. The Empress Dowager's 1000th birthday banquet will be soon."

The second lady pulled Xu Keke to sit on the armchair in the main hall.

"My dear daughter, did you hear about the Empress Dowager's 1000th birthday banquet at the flower viewing banquet?

Mom has to tell you, our family hasn't received an invitation, so you probably won't be able to go!"

Xu Keke put both hands on the handle and answered seriously.

"It was the prince who said he would take me there, but it wasn't my daughter who forced me."

"Really?"

The second wife looked at her daughter with shining eyes, her face full of surprise.

Xu Keke nodded seriously.

The second wife stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the main hall.

"My dear daughter, I'll take you to the shop this afternoon to choose clothes, dresses, and jewelry. If you can't find anything suitable, we can go to your uncle's house to see if there's anything better!"

Xu Keke pulled her.

"Mother, please don't worry about this. And my uncle's family gave me clothes, dresses and jewelry at the last flower viewing banquet. We can't always take advantage of my uncle."
