The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Du Mingxian: "..." Her suggestion was so good, why didn't Lord Wen appreciate it?

"My lord, if you don't remarry, the family line will end."

“Third brother’s child is also of the Wen family line, and there’s also your uncle.”

Thinking of her uncle's appearance, Du Mingxian hesitated again and again but couldn't help but tell the truth, "Father, with my uncle's appearance, I'm afraid he has no intention of getting married."

"He dares."

Let's see if he dares.

"My uncle is already in his mid-twenties. If he wanted to get married, he probably would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?"

Reminded by Du Mingxian, Lord Wen felt annoyed and waved his hand at Du Mingxian, "Alright, you can go back now, don't stay here."

"You said you wanted me to stay at the Wen residence, but now you think I'm in your way?" Du Mingxian said cheekily.

Lord Wen glared at her angrily, "Get out, get out! I need to talk to your uncle. Or you can stay here and watch whether your uncle beats you up or not."

"Alright, alright, you brothers have a heart-to-heart talk. What am I supposed to do here? I won't get in the way." Du Mingxian said and left without a second thought.

As she walked outside, she slowed her pace. To her surprise, Lord Wen wouldn't let her go.

In his study, Lord Wen grew increasingly angry as he thought about things at home, and he directly ordered the steward to send someone to summon Wen Yibin.

When Wen Yibin arrived, he was still complaining, "Brother, that girl came to ask you to have lunch at noon, but you didn't look for me. Why are you looking for me now?"

"Your mother has been confused all these years and hasn't worried about your marriage. Now that you're getting older, I'll be looking for some suitable women soon. Get ready to get married."

"What? Big brother, you actually want me to get married?" Wen Yibin couldn't believe his ears and immediately refused, "Big brother, no way, this is definitely not allowed."

"It's not like I'm asking you to do bad things, so what's wrong with that? You're way past the age for marriage, it's even a bit late now, and you're still saying it's not okay?"

Wen Yibin frowned, unsure of what to say, but he was unwilling to get married now.

"Brother, marriage should naturally be with a woman you like. I certainly won't marry a woman I don't like, so please don't force me."

"You can get to know each other after you get married. I will definitely arrange for you to meet before your wedding. If you don't find someone you like, I will definitely not let you get married. Don't worry."

Wen Yibin shook his head. "That's not what I meant."

Lord Wen, now behaving like a patriarch, also wanted to show some respect to his younger brother. "Then what do you mean? It's definitely not acceptable to never get married."

“Why not? Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, you all have children, and the Wen family has a son. Whether I get married or not, whether I have children or not, doesn’t matter.”

Lord Wen waved his hand, “It’s different. Getting married is a must. If you don’t want me to arrange it for you, you can find someone yourself. No matter what kind of person you find, as long as you like it, I will arrange it for you.”

When Wen Yibin saw his elder brother's resolute attitude, he knew that there was no way to avoid this matter.

"Big brother, if I really were the person I liked, would you agree to let me marry her?"

"Yes, whether it's a daughter from an official's family or a commoner's family, I'll agree to it as long as you like her."

He has already lost his beloved; he must make sure his younger brother is well taken care of.

Wen Yibin moved closer to Lord Wen and said, "Brother, I have a question."

"You said."

"So... if the person I like can never be with me in this lifetime, would you still force me?"

Lord Wen felt his eyelids twitching violently. "Then tell me, who do you like?"

"Your daughter."

Just as Lord Wen was about to get angry, Wen Yibin quickly added, "That fake daughter you brought back from outside, that fake daughter, even if I were a monster, I would never like my own niece."

Lord Wen frowned deeply. That girl...

If Du Mingxian hadn't confessed her affair with Ling Silang before meeting the Crown Prince, Lord Wen might have genuinely helped his brother. But now...

"That girl won't do."

“Why not? She’s not your biological daughter, brother. We can fake her death and get away with it. I’ll ask the Emperor for permission to go to another province to serve as an official. We can live away from home for a few years and then return to the capital. Who will remember us then? Besides, she doesn’t go out much these days, so not many people know her.”

"She still has some scars on her face. I'll prepare some extra scar removal cream. Once the scars are gone and she's been through a few years, she'll be a completely different person. We can have a baby then, wow, life will be perfect."

“Brother, what do you think of this? That girl is smart and can cook. You can tell from the old lady’s decision to have her learn etiquette that she’s a good fit for me.”

The more Lord Wen listened, the more he felt that his younger brother probably had this thought for a long time, but had never said it. Considering the current situation, he could only say regretfully, "She won't do. You should find someone else."

"Huh? Why not? Even if you don't want me to marry her, you have to give me a reason." Wen Yibin was genuinely upset; he... had truly fallen in love with that girl.

However, due to his identity and other reasons, he had not said it before.

He hadn't felt anxious about getting married before, but now that his older brother is urging him to get married, he just wants to say it out loud. Since he's going to get married anyway, he should definitely marry someone he likes.

Although he said it in a joking tone, it was all his true thoughts.

Lord Wen could see Wen Yibin's distress. After all, he was the younger brother he had watched grow up, and he couldn't bear to see him sink deeper into this mess. "She has a husband."

"How is that possible? She's still a virgin, how could she be married?" Wen Yibin said in disbelief.

Lord Wen was taken aback. "How do you know all this, and how can you say it so confidently?" Such a private matter.

Wen Yibin's ears turned red. Meeting his elder brother's suspicious gaze, he could only silently explain, "It's nothing important. There was a case before, and in order to investigate it, I found a few experienced nannies in the palace and studied with them for a long time. Now I can judge these things based on a woman's walking posture."

Lord Wen was speechless, not expecting his younger brother to have such abilities. "Even if she did that, you can't have such thoughts. She has a husband."

"Brother, the husband you're talking about isn't Qi Ji, is it? Although they're engaged, they've hardly met. We even forced him to get engaged. If it's because of Qi Ji, we should just call it off."
