"That's great. After all, they were your family before. Judging by their ages, your two children are not young anymore." Liu Jie's new wife, Deng Wanyi, didn't think there was a problem and even had a smile on her face.

"Didn't you ask me before what my attitude was towards your child? I told you a long time ago that it's your past, and I'm only looking at our future. By the way, how's your child doing now? Your son happens to need a groom, so he should be able to come."

"Thank you for your understanding, Madam. However, it seems my son is not here; he has started his own family. Only my wife and daughter are here."

"Oh, I see. What a pity, I was hoping to help them, but it seems I won't have the chance."

Looking down from the rooftop, Yun Qingjin keenly noticed that Liu Jie, who had previously acted arrogantly and domineeringly in her home, was now showing particular respect for her, his wife.

Although Yun Qingjin could also eavesdrop, her spiritual sense wasn't very good, at least not as good as Yun Yuke's. When Yun Yuke taught her how to condense her spiritual sense, she didn't have high expectations; she only wanted Yun Qingjin's ability to meet her daily needs.

So at this distance, Yun Qingjin can still hear what the others are saying.

The two continued their conversation.

"Wanyi, we discussed sending a concubine to the Marquis last time..." Liu Jie whispered.

"What are your thoughts?" Deng Wanyi asked.

“I hadn’t considered it before, but I saw my daughter today. She was only two or three years old when I left. Although she’s a bit older now, she has a gentle and graceful appearance, which I feel fits the Marquis’s preferences that the Lady mentioned last time…”

"So you want your daughter to become my cousin's concubine? That... doesn't seem quite right in terms of status." Deng Wanyi didn't agree immediately, seemingly having some doubts.

“Hey, just don’t tell the Marquis her identity. Just say she’s a relative of mine. That girl is just a lowly commoner. To be the Marquis’s concubine is an unparalleled honor. It’s a good thing for her.”

"Hmm... I don't really agree with the idea of ​​sending a concubine..." Deng Wanyi was still somewhat conflicted and did not immediately agree. She paced back and forth in the backyard, seemingly struggling with the specifics.

“Look, if we just find someone random outside and send them to the Marquis, he might not even be interested. When we discussed it last time, we thought about finding some sensible young women, but we can’t control those kinds of people.”

Liu Jie remained very calm, as if he were discussing a common commodity.

“Logically speaking, we have a pretty good relationship with our cousin, so we don’t need to deliberately try to please him. However, we also have various issues at home that require our attention right now. If someone could speak up for us on behalf of our cousin…”

Judging from Deng Wanyi's words, it was clear that she was somewhat tempted and seemed to want to agree to her husband's arrangement.

"Is your daughter really reliable? You haven't contacted them all these years, do you think they'll listen to you?" Deng Wanyi hesitated for a long time, seemingly still a bit conflicted.

Clearly, Deng Wanyi's words revealed that she was more concerned about whether the plan would succeed and didn't want to cause herself any trouble.

The couple seemed to have considered this as well. For a moment, neither of them spoke.

"Hmm... how about we just make it a fait accompli?" After thinking for a long time, Liu Jie finally came up with an idea.

"Here's what I'm thinking. I know my ex-wife's temper. If I told her that my daughter should become someone's concubine, she definitely wouldn't agree. So I thought we should send a few people to tie up that girl, and then we'd discuss it with the Marquis's family and send her directly to the Marquis's mansion."

The more Liu Jie thought about it, the better he felt it was, and he became excited.

"Marriage is a major event that is arranged by parents and matchmakers. You are practically her mother, so you've arranged a good family for her. She'll be grateful to you for that."

After listening to her husband's plan, Deng Wanyi considered the situation and thought it was feasible, so she nodded.

“That’s right. She’s just a young girl, over twenty and still not married. If she becomes my cousin’s concubine and has a son or daughter, her life will definitely be very comfortable.” Deng Wanyi was still a little proud, while also coaxing her husband.

"You should still thank me. If it weren't for me, your daughter might not have such a good life."

Afterwards, the two continued to discuss the details of the plan, during which Liu Jie also told his wife about his past interactions with Aunt Hua and her daughter.

This also includes the argument between Liu Jie and Aunt Hua, as well as the process of selecting jewelry in the jewelry store.

Liu Jie naturally wouldn't mention that he had been ripped off by the jewelry store; he only said that he discovered his ex-wife while choosing jewelry for his wife.

"They were originally from Xin'an, but now they've moved to Changgan City. It's quite unusual that you were able to run into them."

Deng Wanyi commented on this experience, and didn't seem to care much about her husband's previous deception.

"Yes, the plan is well done, but... we still need to talk to my cousin-in-law first. We can't do this without her support. With her support, we can make better arrangements."

Yun Qingjin squatted on the roof until the couple returned to the dining room. Her legs were so numb from squatting that she had to stand up while holding onto her knees.

This is important intelligence; we should head home right away.

Yun Qingjin came down from the rooftop, blended into the crowd, and hurried back to Yanchun Pavilion.

Yun Yuke had other plans for today and took Yuan Chen out of the city. It can be said that the most important people in the family now are still Aunt Hua and the sisters in the shop.

Several elders were waiting at home. Yun Qingjin had been gone for a while, and the people in the house were a little worried, after all, the child was only eleven years old.

"I'm back!" Yun Qingjin called out loudly. She saw Aunt Hua and several managers of the shop. When they saw Yun Qingjin, they were happy at first, but then they grabbed her and gave her a scolding.

"You silly girl, you should think carefully before you do anything next time!"

"Why do you insist on doing it yourself?"

"No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you can't do this!"

Yun Qingjin looked apologetic. "Auntie, sisters, Qingqing was wrong. Qingqing will definitely inform you in advance next time."

After reprimanding the others, they went back to doing what they were supposed to do. Yun Qingjin didn't tell everyone what she had found out, but only after the other sisters had left did she tell them everything she had learned.

"In short, Aunt Hua, Sister Zhou'er, I swear on my life that what I said is true. You can believe me. That old Deng has ill intentions. He wants Sister Zhou'er to become that Marquis Ankang's concubine!"

"Hmm, it seems that the information Boss Yun inquired about last time was correct."

Aunt Hua wasn't surprised. "Twenty years have passed, and they're still so selfish."
