Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Seeing Old Madam Bai coming out of the study with a very unhappy look on her face, Mother Lan asked, "Old Madam, does the head of the family disagree?"

Mrs. Bai sighed and said, "The head of the family should be cautious. Wu Fa is very popular in Ancheng now. A big tree attracts the wind!"

These words soon reached Xu Huiling's ears.

"Alas, does Patriarch Bai want to sever ties with the Wu family?" Mother Liu sighed.

Xu Huiling snorted coldly and said, "I, the niece of the old lady of the Bai family, Mrs. Wu, am here. Can the Bai family really deny their relationship with the Wu family? They always do useless things like this and cause trouble for me for no reason!"

It was like this before. When I reached marriageable age, the people I was offered marriages to were all from small, underprivileged families. If I hadn't been so brave and found the opportunity to meet Wu Fa at a banquet, how could I have such a good life now?

Mother Liu said hurriedly, "Master Bai may be old and has lost his drive, so he doesn't dare to take a big step."

Xu Huiling rolled her eyes and said, "That's right. Ever since I came back, I've mentioned several times that Young Marshal Li wants to do business with the Bai family, but the head of the family has deliberately changed the subject and not mentioned it.

This is clearly a lucrative business. But he hesitates and makes excuses. The money is right in front of him, yet he doesn't take it. Isn't that a fool?

"Why don't you talk to the eldest young master? Isn't he in charge of all the business in Yangcheng now?" said Mother Liu.

"Him? He's never been close to me, so he might not listen to me. And if the head of the family doesn't agree, there's nothing he can do."

"Then what shall we do? Master sent me a letter earlier saying that Marshal Li is pressing for help."

Xu Huiling thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until Yiren comes back tomorrow."

Quiet garden.

Nanchun looked at Bai Xun who was clinging to her with some helplessness.

In the past few days, Bai Xun has become very strange and always sticks to him for inexplicable reasons.

"The couch is so small. Isn't it uncomfortable for you to squeeze here with me to read?" Nan Chun said helplessly.

Bai Xun closed the book, kissed his cheek, and said, "It's not uncomfortable."

"Aren't you going to school? I heard that Mr. Wang is back." Nanchun asked.

"I don't need to go to school anymore. I know everything they teach." Bai Xun looked at him and said.

"Then why did you go there regardless of rain or shine before?" Nanchun looked at him in surprise.

Before, Bai Xun was the most active one in going to school.

He has never been late or left early. When he occasionally asks for leave, it is mostly because of things in the village.

Bai Xun didn't answer, but held his face and kissed him again.

Nanchun thought helplessly: Bai Xun must be the kind of person described in storybooks. He has been concentrating on reading the classics for too long.

Perhaps because she was used to sleeping in the same bed with Bai Xun in her previous life, Nanchun didn't mind being close to him.

Bai Xun stared at the sleeping face of the person in his arms without blinking and sighed softly.

Wu Yiren came from Ancheng.

She was wearing a light blue dress with an exquisite bow at the neckline. Her black hair fell naturally on her shoulders, with an exquisite pearl hairpin pinned on it.

"Brother Xun, this is a gift I brought you from Ancheng." She said with a smile.

The words "Ancheng Zhuangyuanzhai" are printed on the exquisite gift box.

The four treasures of the study there are well-known far and wide and are of great value.

Nan Chun thought to himself: He is quite generous.

Seeing that Bai Xun didn't move, Wu Yiren hurriedly said, "Everyone has it."

"Yes, everyone has received it. Xun'er, you don't have to be so polite, just accept it! This is also a token of my love." Mrs. Bai said with a smile.

"Thank you." Bai Xun accepted it.

"Our Yiren is well-behaved and sensible." Mrs. Bai said with satisfaction.

Everyone got a gift except Nanchun.

Some people seemed to be enjoying the show, glancing at him from time to time.

Nan Chun didn't care at all, and could even be said to be relieved.

After all, there's no such thing as a gift without merit. If you accept her gift, you have to be grateful for her kindness and find an opportunity to return the favor. It takes a lot of effort to figure out what kind of gift to return, which is too troublesome.

Bai Xun handed the things to Ah Fu, then took Nan Chun's hand and sat down to the table.

"Since everyone is here today, let me say a few words." Old Madam Bai smiled. "It's said that one should start a family and build a career. Now that Xun'er has married and started a family, it's time to gradually hand over some of the family affairs to him. But he still hasn't had any offspring, so I've discussed with the head of the family to get Xun'er a concubine."

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Xun's face darkened.

"Nanchun, do you have any objections?" Old Madam Bai seemed not to see Bai Xun's expression.

Everyone's eyes fell on Nanchun.

Nanchun felt a little bitter. How could he have any objections?

Bai Xun took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "Grandma, Nanchun and I have only been married for a short time, and I don't want to take a concubine."

Mrs. Bai's expression changed, and she said angrily, "Don't want to take a concubine? If you don't take a concubine, can he give birth to a child for you?"

"Grandma, Xundi means that he and Nanchun are newly married, and it's inappropriate for him to rush into taking a concubine at this time." Bai Song tried to smooth things over with a smile.

Bai Xun was about to retort when Bai Song kicked his foot under the table and shook his head at him.

"Even if you want to take a concubine, you still have to consult a great witch to make a compatibility calculation, right?"

Bai Yishui said: "What Bai Song said makes sense. There is no need to rush."

Madam Bai gritted her teeth and said slowly, "Then I'll prepare here first, pick a few good ones, and then ask the Great Witch to calculate it."

Wu Yiren bit her lips tightly, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

Are you not going to let her in?

"Mom! Dad has agreed to my marriage with Brother Xun! I'll go talk to my great aunt and the head of the family!" Wu Yiren had tears in her eyes.

"Come back!" Xu Huiling frowned.

"Mom!" Wu Yiren burst into tears.

Xu Huiling sighed and said, "It's not that easy for you to get in."

"What do you mean? My great aunt said before that she wanted me to marry in. And the head of the family also agreed to let my brother take a concubine. Why would he rather find an outsider than me? Am I not good enough?" Wu Yiren said aggrievedly.

Xu Huiling patted her head and said, "The head of the family is very thoughtful. The Wu family is very close to Young Marshal Li. If the Bai family marries into the Wu family at this time, it will clearly tell the outside world that the Bai family is on Young Marshal Li's side."

Wu Yiren had no idea what all this was all about. She took the handkerchief handed to her by Liu Mama, wiped her tears, and choked up, saying, "Wouldn't there be more benefits if I followed Young Marshal Li? This is clearly a good thing!"

Xu Huiling sighed, "Who says it's not true? But the master of the family is old and cautious. He probably wants to find a girl from a small family who is easy to handle for Bai. So... Alas!"

Wu Yiren frowned and said, "No! Mother, I want to be with Brother Xun."

Xu Huiling thought for a moment, then curled her lips and said, "Then we need to clear the obstacles first, and then make things a done deal."
