Xu Rui raised his eyebrows, "You found yourself a sister-in-law, why should I thank you?"

Xu Muhua opened his eyes wide.

Such shameless words actually came from her eldest brother's mouth?

"Isn't my sister-in-law your wife? She is your wife! I found a wife for you..."

"But she's your sister-in-law too!"

Xu Muhua said this problem cannot be solved!

She looked at him with resentment: "Brother, you have become a bad person."

Xu Rui smiled and patted her forehead with his hand, "I learned this from you!"

"How come you learned it from me? Brother, don't change the subject. You haven't answered my question just now! Are you really willing to get engaged and married with Miss Geng?" Xu Muhua said this with a serious and solemn expression.

Xu Rui's smile faded, and he looked at her seriously and said, "I know what you are worried about. Big brother won't joke about his marriage. I have met Miss Geng, and I have a good impression of her. I also believe that she will be a good wife and mistress in the future."

"Love between men and women is not that simple, but it is not that complicated either. When two people live together, it is not enough to just look at one person. I am willing to marry her and work hard with her. And I believe she has the same idea as me."

"As for feelings, aren't they cultivated slowly? There are many marriages like this in this world. There are only a few like your parents. Don't think too much about it!"

Which one is not arranged by parents and matchmakers? Many people live happily after marriage. As for those who live a miserable life, it is their own fault and has nothing to do with others.

Xu Muhua couldn't help but ask, "What if you meet another woman after you get married to Miss Geng and you fall in love with her?"

Xu Rui looked at her inexplicably and replied as a matter of course: "Then take her back home!"

"But what if this woman doesn't want to be someone's concubine?"

This question stumped Xu Rui.

"If you encounter this situation, brother, you will not divorce my sister-in-law and marry the woman who makes your heart beat, right?"

Xu Rui looked at her strangely, "What are you thinking about! If I'm already married and have a wife at home, and I meet a girl I like and she doesn't want to be my concubine, then we can only think that we are not meant to be together. How can I divorce my wife for her?"

What the hell is she talking about?

Being looked at with such suspicion, Xu Muhua couldn't help but reflect on whether his thoughts were too dirty!

Is this the difference between fiction and reality? Isn't that how fiction is written?

Xu Rui touched her forehead with some concern, and said to himself, "Maybe you are sick and your brain is burned out, otherwise how could you have such a strange idea?"

Xu Muhua's mouth twitched, and he slapped his hand away, spreading his hands: "I am just making reasonable guesses and suspicions! Aren't all men lustful? Look, there are many men who favor concubines over wives!"

In the capital, there are quite a few well-known ones! Lord Pei is the most famous one among them.

"Is your eldest brother an ordinary man? What do you think of me? Where is the family tradition of our Chengguo Mansion? You don't trust me, so how can you not trust the education of our parents? Let me tell you, our family has never had such people and things as you said in the past few generations!"

There are examples of men marrying the wrong wife. Look, the one next door is a good example.

He also made careful inquiries and agreed only after he was sure that Geng Zhiqiu had no problems with his character and was a person who understood the big picture and had a clear mind.

Putting aside other things, even if he has a woman he likes now, he will not marry her in the end because she cannot bear the responsibility of being the mistress of a Duke's Mansion. He is the prince, and he is destined to shoulder the burden of the rise and fall of the Duke's Mansion since birth. Naturally, his wife must follow him.

If he couldn't even do this, then he couldn't ignore the future of the Duke's Mansion for his own personal feelings. In life, everything is impossible to be perfect, there are gains and losses.

Xu Muhua felt that if he said anything more, his elder brother might not be able to hold back and attack him.

She quickly said flatteringly: "Of course, I still have great faith in Big Brother's character. Looking across the entire capital, I'm afraid there is no other young man better than Big Brother!"

Xu Rui glanced at her with a half-smile, "Aren't you flattering me too much? If Shao Qing hears it, he will be unhappy."

"You are my eldest brother, how can outsiders compare with you?"

Xu Rui was satisfied now. "Very good, you still remember that I am your elder brother. Then remember it. If you have any good ideas to make money in the future, don't forget me!"

Xu Muhua: It turns out that big brother hasn’t forgotten about the glass kiln!

How about giving some shares to eldest brother when he gets married?

The atmosphere in Duke Chengguo's Mansion was somewhat affected by the old lady's illness, but everyone still believed in the imperial physician's words and hoped that the old lady would get better soon.

As soon as the imperial physician returned to the palace, he was called before the emperor for questioning.

"Is the old lady of the Chengguo Mansion in poor health?"

The imperial physician who went to the Duke Cheng's mansion to see a patient knelt on the ground and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the old lady's condition is indeed not good."

He told the old lady's situation truthfully.

The emperor listened for a long time without saying anything, and the imperial physician did not dare to look up, but lowered his head. As time passed, he gradually became nervous.

“Oh, you mean the old lady is old and there’s a good chance she won’t make it this time?”

The imperial physician immediately broke out in a cold sweat!

He didn't say that!

It's just dangerous, it doesn't mean that the old lady can't survive! Why did the emperor ask this? Was he warning him, or... Thinking of the rumors in the court, the imperial physician almost couldn't help but raise his head and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead!

He is just a little imperial physician! Why did he have to go through this? If he had known earlier, he should not have gone to the Duke of Cheng's mansion!

The imperial physician was screaming madly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, this...if she is not properly cared for, or, or if something unexpected happens, then, then the old lady is very likely to not survive."

After a long time, the imperial physician finally heard the emperor's voice coming from above him, "Oh, so that's it... Duke Cheng has made great contributions and sacrificed a lot for the peace of Dayong. Order the Imperial Medical Bureau to treat the old lady well and make sure she is cured. No matter what medicine is used, get it directly from the Imperial Pharmacy!"

"Wei Chen obeys!"

Only when the imperial physician stepped out and walked to an empty corner did he dare to take out a handkerchief and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and neck.

When I came out into the sun, I didn't feel hot at all. Instead, I felt chilly!
