Jin Lu had already rushed over and sighed: "I really didn't expect that Fang Sima would do such a thing. He obviously has a great future, ugh!"
Ji Jing was not sympathetic at all and said: "He brought it all on himself! Although he doesn't know what others have used against him, if he has a clear conscience, how can he be taken advantage of?"
Wan Song sighed: "Even if there is really something wrong, if he honestly admits his mistake to the adults, the adults will probably forgive him. After all, it is because this kid has a bad conscience that he feels guilty!"
Xu Yin agrees with this. His father regards Fang Yi as his son, and even if there is something wrong with him, he will teach him first. However, Fang Yi only respects him on the surface, and does not regard his father as an elder in his heart. This end is all his own fault.
"Third Miss." Ji Jing turned around and said, "You've been up all night. Go and have a rest. The younger ones here will take care of it."
Xu Yin nodded. Ji Jing had nothing to worry about when he was doing things, so he explained a few words and went back.
After she left, Jin Lu couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with Miss Third?"
"What's wrong?"
"I feel like a different person." Jin Lu said, "I found out there was something wrong with Fang Yi, but I couldn't bear to say anything about it, and even set up such a trap to make Fang Yi reveal his flaws. Do you think this is like what the third lady did?
?”
Wan Song nodded repeatedly: "It doesn't look like that."
What were the third ladies like in the past? They were pampered by adults and spent all day entertaining cats and dogs. They led a group of little girls around the same age to have fun and cause trouble.
This time it's better, he behaves as calmly as those old fritters like them.
Ji Jing defended his wife in his heart: "My lord suddenly fell ill, and there was no one to protect him from the wind and rain. The third lady has grown up all of a sudden. In terms of intelligence, the third lady has never been inferior to others."
This is true. Jin Lu nodded in agreement. Smart children are loved by others. How about the eldest son, as the only male in the Xu family, but everyone treats him very ordinary? It is true that he has poor qualifications.
"It's a pity that the third lady is not a man, otherwise..."
Wan Song had lamented this before, and now he said: "According to me, it doesn't matter if he is not a man. You want to find a son-in-law anyway. The eldest lady is soft-tempered, so it is better to keep the third lady here."
Jin Lu and Ji Jing were both stunned and looked at him.
Wan Song was puzzled by their looks: "What are you doing? I, Lao Wan, am a rough man. If you say anything, you don't have to glare at me like this!"
"No," Jin Lu waved his hand, "You are right, we thought wrong before."
"ha?"
Ji Jingdao: "Actually, I have thought about it before, but adults have to make the decision in everything."
Wan Song looked at this, looked at that, and understood: "So, you think so too?"
Ji Jing nodded lightly: "The eldest lady is not interested in outside affairs. If she recruits a son-in-law, Nanyuan will be handed over to someone else in the future. If that person is a gentleman, I'm afraid he will be Fang Yi again."
"Yes," Jin Lu agreed, "it's better to train the third lady. If you recruit a son-in-law in the future, the third lady will make the decision."
The two exchanged glances and nodded with satisfaction.
I wonder what adults think of this idea?
…
Xu Yin didn't know that this move gave his father's capable subordinates new ideas.
When she returned to Qushui Pavilion, Xu Si had already learned the news: "Ayin, are you okay?"
Xu Yin smiled and nodded, stretching out his hands for her to see: "Sister, look, it's fine."
Only then did Xu Si feel relieved.
She thought of Fang Yi with mixed emotions: "I didn't expect him to do such a thing. I really know people but not their hearts."
Seeing that she didn't look sad, Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We should be lucky that my sister didn't marry him, otherwise we would be unlucky."
Xu Si thought the same thing and said with a smile: "So, we are lucky."
"Yes." Xu Yin said softly, "Sister, I will marry a good man in the future, who will love you, cherish you, protect you, and live a happy life."
Xu Si was embarrassed by what she said, and said angrily: "You are a little girl, and you keep talking about getting married, so you are not ashamed."
Xu Yin laughed and said: "It is natural for a man to marry and a woman to marry. What is there to be ashamed of?"
"Okay, you're sweating profusely. Go wash up first. The water is ready." Xu Si pushed her.
Xu Yin felt stuffy and went there obediently.
Xu Si came in to help her wash her hair and couldn't help but ask: "Ayin, have you ever thought about getting married?"
"I've thought about it!" Xu Yin answered smoothly.
Xu Si was surprised: "You actually thought about it. I thought you only knew how to play every day!"
Xu Yin smiled sheepishly. Before she was fourteen, she really only knew how to play. Later, she followed her sister to Dongjiang Palace, and she made up her mind to stay by her sister's side, even if she never got married.
Sometimes I also wonder, what would I have been like if my father had not passed away? Would I be like those young ladies from aristocratic families, who, when they get older, marry a well-matched man, have children, and spend their whole lives like this?
Later, she also had a chance, but finally gave up.
Now that time has gone back and the dream that was once out of reach has become a reality, she can really think about it.
"Then what do you think?" Xu Si asked, "You will be pregnant next year, and your father will consider your marriage soon. If you have an idea, say it as soon as possible. Marriage is a lifelong matter for a woman, so it must be done as soon as possible.
Tell dad."
Xu Yin asked her back: "So, my sister also told her father?"
Xu Si nodded, with a look of sadness on his face: "Father asked me how Fang Yi was doing, and I said it was up to him to make the decision."
To say this means that she is quite satisfied with Fang Yi. My sister is still a little sad, right? Xu Yin reached over and held her hand.
"Sister, are you worried that your father will choose someone he doesn't like again?"
Xu Si stopped and said seriously: "Ayin, I am the eldest daughter. My mother is gone and we have no brothers. I have to bear some responsibilities."
As long as her father still wants an heir, her marriage will not be decided by her likes or dislikes.
Xu Yin said: "No need, sister, you can choose someone you like."
Xu Si looked at her.
Xu Yin was also very serious: "You are the eldest daughter, but your father is not the only daughter!"
What she means is...
Xu Si immediately shook his head: "No, then you can't marry the person you like?"
Xu Yin smiled: "Sister, I just asked you about getting married. Let me tell you. I don't want to get married. I want to help my father. My father needs an heir, and I can do it. When I find someone I like,
Wouldn't it be better to just recruit him here?"
Xu Si looked at her in surprise: "You..."
Xu Yin continued: "For you, recruiting a son-in-law is a burden, but it is not for me! How can I live a lawless life if I go to someone else's house? It is better to stay at my own house, and my father will always be with me.
