After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

really.

Li Lingze went to see Li Muyuan, and what he talked about was Xie Linghe's matter.

Li Muyuan said sternly, "You are the eldest son of the Ning'an Marquisate, of noble status. Your future wife will be a member of the Li family's clan. She must be of the highest caliber, whether in terms of family background, virtue, appearance, or speech. There is absolutely no way that country girl can enter our home."

"You should break up with her as soon as possible."

Li Lingze sneered, "Background? Many women of noble birth are shameless, and some even seduce their own brothers-in-law."

He said categorically: "In my eyes, Reiwa is the best, nobler than anyone else."

Li Muyuan was furious and said, "You bastard!"

Seduce your brother-in-law?

Aren’t you just talking about Rouer?

Talking about Rou'er, isn't that just scolding him?

Li Lingze responded: "Better than you."

Li Muyuan took a few deep breaths and didn't want to delve into his feelings with him. His tone was cold: "I'm not discussing this with you. If you continue to flirt with that woman, it won't be you who will be hurt, but her."

As soon as these words came out.

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Li Lingze's eyes, but he quickly disappeared without anyone noticing.

He sneered: "Father, I'm afraid you don't even know who Linghe is?"

Li Muyuan frowned.

Li Lingze sarcastically said, "Yes, Linghe comes from a poor family, but she has a brother named Xie Boyuan, who was the top scholar in the imperial examination."

"Xie Boyuan has another identity. He is the only disciple of Master Wen's younger brother, and he is looked upon like the apple of his eye."

"My father wants to strangle Reiwa like an ant, but I'm afraid it's impossible."

In this regard.

Li Muyuan's face changed drastically.

Li Lingze's sarcasm intensified as he spoke slowly, "Why? Didn't that woman Fan Rou tell you? Did she do it on purpose?"

Li Muyuan's face was gloomy.

Li Lingze said goodbye directly: "My Lord, if you have nothing to do, I will leave now."

Fan Rou is familiar with Li Muyuan.

He also knew his father.

Now, he knew that Linghe was not a helpless commoner woman, and with the Wen Mansion as her backing, he would never attack her again.

After all, although the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion was a family of meritorious officials, it only had status but no real power, and they would not dare to offend a family like the Wen Mansion that was in the emperor's favor.

And the last words I said just now will definitely make Fan Rou have a good meal.

but.

This time he was going to crush her to death and not let her turn over.

Thinking of this, Li Lingze murmured in his heart: "Fan Rou, cherish it well, now is the most relaxing and happy day of your life..."

……

all of these.

Xie Linghe knew nothing.

With Xie Boyuan's wedding, her mission to the capital was completed.

After being away for more than three months, she missed home.

With the system, she can know the situation of Xie Zhongji and Xie Shuze at any time, but she has no way of knowing anything about the literacy class and business.

then.

The second day after Liu Rushuang returned home.

Xie Linghe went to visit Liu Sanwan and his wife to discuss the time of their return trip.

At last.

The departure was scheduled for seven days later, which was around the beginning of August. We would leave the capital at the end of summer and arrive in Xinghua Village in autumn.

……

After returning home, Xie Linghe told his family the news.

No one objected.

Xie Jijun was also looking forward to it, because he particularly wanted to know the imperial examination results of Xie Zhongji and Xie Shuze.

Xie Linghe knew this very well, but she could only pretend that she knew nothing.

It started that day.

Xie Ling and his companions frantically purchased Beijing's specialties: cloth, jewelry, fruit...

Shake.

Seven days passed.

Early August, end of the Mao hour.

Xie Linghe, Xie Lingfen, Xie Lingai, Xie Jijun, Master Liu, Liu Sanwan, Zhou Shuyun, Xiaolu and Xie Erhe's family were sitting in a carriage at the city gate.

There were many people seeing him off.

The newlyweds Xie Boyuan and Liu Rushuang, Li Lingze and his son Zhang Wei, and Mr. Wen had already said goodbye to his old friends in advance and did not show up today.

"Dad, Mom, and Big Sister, have a safe journey." Liu Rushuang said with a look of reluctance: "If you have a chance on the way, remember to write to us."

Zhou Shuyun's eyes widened, afraid that she would accidentally shed tears: "Shuang'er, take good care of yourself."

Liu Sanwan looked at Xie Boyuan seriously and said, "Be good to my daughter. If I find out that she has suffered any injustice, I will definitely bring her back."

Xie Boyuan's expression was calm: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will never let my wife down."

Liu Rushuang had a sweet expression on her face and retorted to her father: "Dad, Brother Yuan is very good."

After the wedding, although Xie Boyuan still didn't say sweet words, he always responded to her requests and did not hide anything happening outside the mansion from her. He told her about the affairs of the government office every day and listened patiently to the trivialities of her life, which made her feel at ease quickly.

Brother Yuan does better than father.

Hear the words.

Liu Sanwan's expression froze, and he thought to himself: My daughter is an extrovert~

Looking at her daughter-in-law pitifully, Zhou Shuyun felt both angry and amused: "With so many people watching? She's so grown up, yet she still acts like a child!"

Li Lingze stood in front of Xie Linghe's window, looking at her reluctantly: "Linghe, are you really going to leave like this without giving me an answer?"

Answer?

what is the answer?

In the same carriage, the two sisters Xie Lingfen and Xie Lingai had gossipy expressions on their faces.

Xie Linghe's ears flushed red as he said unhappily, "We'll meet again when I come to Beijing next time."

Li Lingze's eyes lit up: "It's a deal."

Then, he asked expectantly, "When will you be in Beijing next time?"

Xie Linghe replied: "Three years later."

Li Lingze's face suddenly fell: "Huh?!"

Xie Linghe found it funny and ignored him.

Xu Cui Niang noticed something was wrong, glanced at her silent son with disdain, and quickly interrupted, "Linghe, be careful on the road."

Xie Linghe smiled and nodded: "Aunt Xu, I will."

"Aunt, although I will not be in the capital in the future, we can keep in touch through letters."

Xu Cuiniang nodded heavily: "Ah~"

Then, she urged her son: "Wei'er, say a few words too."

Only then did Xie Linghe look at Zhang Wei with a calm expression.

In her opinion, what Zhang Wei said to her last time was most likely from Aunt Xu. She could see that Aunt Xu liked her very much.

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly in his heart: I don't have a shred of hope at all, my mother's expectations are absolutely impossible.

No matter how reluctant you are, there will always be a time to say goodbye.

"Goodbye."

"Bon Voyage."

"Good going."

"..."

Li Lingze shouted: "Linghe, you will definitely receive my letter this time."

Xie Linghe's heart moved: "Okay, I'll wait."

……

The carriage moved slowly.

Xie Lingai couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, what's the secret between you and Brother Anfu?"

Xie Lingfen echoed: "Sister, what answer do you want from Anfu?"

Xie Linghe glanced at them and said, "You all know it's a secret. How can I still tell you?"

"Ah~" Xie Lingai said coquettishly: "Big sister!!!"

Xie Linghe looked at Xie Lingfen meaningfully: "Afen, do you have any secrets?"

Hear the words.

Xie Lingfen's eyelids twitched.

What does elder sister mean by this?

Could it be that she noticed something...

When she thought about being exposed, her neck turned red. She didn't dare to look directly at her elder sister and changed the subject: "Okay, Xiao Ai, elder sister is right. Since it's a secret, don't ask."

Xie Lingai was confused: "Huh?"

Which country is my second sister from?

Xie Linghe looked at her with a half-smile, but didn't pursue the matter any further.

……

The city gate.

Xie Boyuan and his companions did not turn around and leave until the carriage disappeared.

Except Li Lingze.

He remained motionless, like a stone waiting for his husband to leave.

Liu Rushuang secretly tugged at Xie Boyuan's sleeve: "Brother Yuan, look?"

Xie Boyuan looked over and snorted coldly.

Everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao.

Want to marry his sister, it's a long way off~

If he hadn't known that his elder sister was leaving and hadn't been staying in the capital in recent years, he would never have allowed him to get close to her today.

Liu Rushuang looked at her husband's angry expression and smiled secretly.

If she were to say, it's not bad for her elder sister to be with Li Lingze. He saved her life and they know each other well, so their life will not be bad.

the other side.

Xu Cui Niang looked at her son with a look of dismay: "Just now I asked you to take the initiative, but you acted like a saw-mouthed gourd to me. You are really pissing me off to death!"

Zhang Wei was helpless: "Mom, you can see that Miss Xie has no interest in me."

He paused and looked at Li Lingze: "Besides, the Ning'an Marquis' son is interested in her."

"I can't see that?" Xu Cui Niang said unconcernedly, "But it's not done yet. You're already admitting defeat before we've even competed. You're quite capable."

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly: "Mother, I can see that Miss Xie has a special affection for the Ning'an Marquis' son, and I don't want to humiliate myself anymore."

Hear this.

Xu Cuiniang was silent.

After a long time, he sighed: "Ah, our family is not blessed~"

"Forget it, you're right. I won't make things difficult for you. Just work hard for the court. If you meet a girl you like, just tell me directly."

Zhang Wei nodded: "I understand."

Looking at Li Lingze's back, he was a little dazed: If I had been braver at the beginning, would everything be different?

During this period, he and Xie Boyuan became very close.

During the chat, the two also talked about the past, and he learned about the relationship between Li Lingze and the Xie family, but it was still later than when he and Xie Linghe first met.

then,

He had a new liking for Xie Linghe the first time he met him.

However, because of his family situation, he didn't want to delay the girl's marriage, so he backed off.

Now, he has the ability to give happiness to his future wife, but he has also lost a girl forever.

Xu Cui Niang's voice called back his attention: "Wei Er, let's go back too."

Zhang Wei smiled in relief: "Okay, Mom."

The past cannot be retrieved, he must learn to look forward.

Xu Cui Niang said earnestly: "Wei Er, Bo Yuan is a good person. You get along well with him, but don't alienate this friend because of Linghe, understand?"

Zhang Wei nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Mom, I can save you the trouble."

……

They set out from the capital in early August. The weather was hot and there were five elderly people in the team, including Master Liu, Liu Sanwan and his wife, and his second uncle and his wife. Xie Linghe was worried that they would suffer from heatstroke, so he walked very slowly.

stop-and-go.

It took half a month longer than expected to arrive at Changhai Town.

Return to hometown.

Although I was away for only half a year, it felt like a lifetime ago.

First of all.

Master Liu was sent to a private school.

Xie Linghe said with concern, "Master, you've been tired these days. Make sure you get more rest."

After spending some time together, Master Liu also liked Xie Linghe very much. Upon hearing this, he smiled and nodded, "I understand."

"By the way, Reiwa, next time you come to see me, let's talk about your literacy class."

On the way, she inadvertently talked about the literacy class she ran. Mr. Liu was very interested and talked to her for a long time and also made some suggestions.

Xie Linghe: "Okay."

Farewell to Master Liu.

Xie Linghe sent Liu Sanwan and his wife home again.

then.

They set out on their journey back home.

……

Xinghua Village.

In the middle of September, after the grain harvest, every household has a rare moment of leisure.

Village entrance.

A large group of people sat and chatted.

At this time.

Two carriages drove up and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"This carriage seems to be coming to our village?"

"Yes, he came to our village."

"Why does this carriage look familiar to me?"

"is it?"

"Let me take a look?"

"Really? Why don't I remember? Who is it?"

"..."

soon.

The carriage approaches.

Someone noticed the driver clearly and exclaimed, "Isn't this Xie Erhe?"

"Xie Erhe?!"

"So, are my sister and the others back too?"

"You're back."

"It's been half a year now, right?"

"almost."

"I thought you weren't coming back?"

"how is this possible?"

"..."

Here.

Xie Erhe also saw his fellow villagers and greeted them warmly: "Old Wu, Old Zhang, long time no see."

"Erhe, hey, have you made a fortune?"

"That's right. Look at the clothes, so bright and beautiful. If Erhe hadn't greeted me, I wouldn't have dared to recognize him."

"..."

Xie Erhe looked down at his clothes and smiled, "These were all bought for me by Boyuan's wife. The child is so filial, I can't refuse."

"I also brought some local specialties from the capital for everyone. Come to my house and pick them up when you have time."

Everyone was surprised and delighted:

"real or fake?"

"And you brought us gifts?"

"This feeling is good."

"..."

Xie Erhe added, "I bought it with Ling and the others. They paid the lion's share. They said they wanted to thank everyone for taking care of their family."

"Hahaha……"

"It should be."

"It's easy to talk about."

"..."

Suddenly, someone shouted, "You haven't heard yet, have you? Zhongji and Shuze have passed the imperial examinations."

As soon as these words came out.

Xie Erhe was overjoyed: "Really?"

Wu Hong couldn't believe it: "They all passed the exam?"

Xie Jijun was overjoyed: "I knew that the second and third brothers would be fine."

Xie Linghe followed the crowd and smiled in surprise.

Although, she had known about it more than a month ago.

Xie Lingfen opened the curtains: "Really? This is great!"

Xie Lingai: "Second brother and third brother are awesome!"

"..."

The villagers answered:

"It's true."

"It's a pity that you were not here and missed the village banquet."

"It was a lively day."

"Not only that, there are also wealthy masters who bring their daughters here specifically to visit, wanting to marry them off on the spot."

"Yes, yes, that scared Zhongji and Shuze."

"Fortunately, Reiwa wasn't home, so the clan leader used this as an excuse to refuse everything."

"Linghe, as soon as you come back, the matchmaker will probably break down your door~"
