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

Lord Wen shook his head. "No, you know, her identity is fake. She was already married before she came to the Wen family."

“Then her engagement with Qi Ji should still be called off. She’s been out for so long and her husband hasn’t shown up at all, which shows he’s not a good man. Brother, you can use our father’s name to talk to that girl and ask her to get a divorce or divorce her husband.”

Lord Wen was so angry he laughed. "How do you know her husband knows nothing? What if he's secretly watching over that girl?"

"How could that be? That girl has been staying at home all the time and rarely goes out. If her husband has been watching over her, how could I not have noticed?"

That's because they went out at night, and you saw them right under your nose, but you didn't notice.

Seeing his younger brother's silly look, Lord Wen decided to cut his losses as soon as possible, "That girl will marry Qi Ji in a while."

"Why not? Didn't they say that girl already has a husband? If she can marry Qi Ji, why can't she marry me?" Wen Yibin was very unconvinced.

Lord Wen stared at Wen Yibin, smiling but remaining silent.

Wen Yibin, being stared at, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and excitedly stood up, "So, so, so Qi Ji is her husband whom she married a long time ago?"

"Ah."

"When Shi Yan said she wanted to take Qi Ji away, why didn't she say anything? Instead, she watched as Qi Ji and Shi Yan got engaged first."

"Being engaged isn't the same as getting married. Besides, things still went wrong later. When Feng Zhiyuan and Shiyan's affair happened, that girl was implicated."

It now seems the connection was fake; she was probably just using a scheme against him.

Wen Yibin felt like he was under a spell. He might have liked that girl before, but he wasn't obsessed with her. But now, the more he heard him talk about her, the more obsessed he became with her.

"Brother, this is the first time in my life that I've realized I like a woman."

Lord Wen felt sorry for his younger brother, but still spoke up to remind him, "If she really divorces her husband and marries you, can you guarantee that the two of you will never quarrel for the rest of your lives? Many couples will encounter various things after they get together, and may eventually become a resentful couple. But what if the two of you always remain uncle and nephew?"

"If you ever need anything in the future, that girl is kind-hearted and will definitely take care of you. She will always treat you like an elder and will always think of you when she has something good. Don't you think that kind of relationship is more comfortable?"

Wen Yibin's mind was a little fuzzy, but he still believed what Lord Wen said. "But my heart still aches. What's wrong?"

"Find another woman, fall in love with her, and your heart won't hurt anymore."

"Really? Big brother, you're not kidding me."

Lord Wen didn't speak, but stood up and gently patted Wen Yibin's shoulder. "I'll tell my second sister-in-law to help you choose first, and then I'll check them over myself."

"Brother, why don't you marry her? Just divorce Cheng Yu and marry a new sister-in-law. That way, all the problems in the manor will be solved, and you won't have to trouble your second sister-in-law."

Wen Yibin felt this was feasible. "Besides, we'll eventually have to separate the family property. After that, my second brother and sister-in-law will have to move out and live on their own. What will happen to all the big things in the mansion then? There has to be a mistress in the backyard too."

Lord Wen's face darkened; today, one after another, people were urging him to remarry.

Get a wife?

Never in this lifetime.

"Alright, there's no mistress, we can arrange someone to manage the backyard. These are minor matters. You should hurry up and get married, then your wife can manage it too."

“That won’t do. When the family splits up, I’ll be moving out too. Even if I have a wife, I won’t let my older brother manage the backyard.”

In front of outsiders, the mature and composed Wen Yibin speaks like a child, turns his head and walks away, no longer paying attention to Lord Wen.

Lord Wen felt utterly exhausted. Watching his younger brother's departing figure, he called out, "I'll keep what I said today in mind. I'll have someone make the arrangements."

Wen Yibin seemed to be angry, and quickened his pace.

After leaving Lord Wen's courtyard, Wen Yibin did not return to his own courtyard, but instead went to find Du Mingxian.

I don't know why, but I went anyway. When I got there, I saw her lying in a chair reading a book, and I got even angrier. "All of you, get out of here."

Du Mingxian looked at him, puzzled. The people in the courtyard withdrew, and she asked softly, "Uncle, what's wrong? Did you eat some kind of poison?"

Could it be that Lord Wen is pressuring him to get married, causing this person to come to his courtyard to cause trouble?

"What did I do wrong? I'm still your uncle, after all. I've always helped you and spoiled you, but you didn't even mention something so important to me. Do you even consider me one of your own?"

"Yes, yes, Uncle, please don't be angry." Although she didn't know what Wen Yibin was talking about, it didn't stop her from admitting her mistake first.

Seeing that Du Mingxian's attitude in admitting her mistake was very good, Wen Yibin's anger dissipated somewhat. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? You were just pretending you two didn't know each other in front of me? Were you playing me for a fool?"

"No, no, that's not true, Uncle, please don't misunderstand."

Du Mingxian finally understood; it was because of Ling Silang's matter. "For other reasons, the fewer people who know, the better, so they didn't say anything."

"You can tell my older brother, but you can't tell me?" Wen Yibin said, still feeling a little aggrieved.

“I told my father because… I needed his help, and it was risky, so I needed to be honest.”

"Hmph, you always have your reasons."

Seeing how angry Yi Bin was, Du Mingxian blinked and said, "Uncle, let's have barbecue tonight."

"Don't tempt me with the thought of delicious food."

"A few skewers are really delicious, and we can chat and grill in the yard while having some drinks. Uncle, just imagine how wonderful that is."

"Is it really that delicious? It's just barbecue, I grill meat all the time."

"Don't worry, Uncle, you've definitely never eaten anything like this before." Du Mingxian also became interested. "I'll go prepare it now."

Seeing Du Mingxian excitedly go to the small kitchen and arrange for the people in the yard to get ingredients from the main kitchen, his anger slowly subsided, along with his love for her.

Perhaps it's true, as her elder brother said, that as husband and wife, it would be better for her to remain the eldest daughter of the Wen family, while he would always be her uncle. If anything good happens, she will always think of him, her uncle.

The relationship between husband and wife may change in this lifetime, but the bond between a brother-in-law and his niece will never change.

After Wen Yibin figured it out, he simply lay down on the chair and went to sleep. Anyway, he had nothing to do on his day off. Du Mingxian had someone go to the main kitchen to get some meat, and then had Ke'er and Lian'er cut it into pieces while she marinated the meat herself.

There's no time to prepare the signature and the oven now, but luckily she has one ready-made in her online space. She ordered two extra ovens when she was making custom ovens in the village before.

She told Ke'er and Lian'er to take the servants while she left the mansion herself.
