Liang Yanbing glanced at the stunned Liang Yanzhi and walked straight into the house with a bundle on her arm. "Father, as the saying goes, a woman follows her husband. I will follow the path he chooses. As for father, I have said everything I should and shouldn't say last night. Please think twice and don't make any mistakes."

Lord Zhongli was extremely angry.

Good! Very good!

Raising a daughter with a crooked elbow! What a good daughter he raised!

Now she's lecturing her father!

But! He really didn't dare to jump up and yell now, "Get out! Once you leave this door, don't come back."

His son-in-law is the Minister of Industry! He wants the Minister to get out. Will he still recognize this relative in the future? Can he still mention this relative when he is away from home? If he mentions this relative, will he still recognize him?

Lord Zhongli cleared his throat and showed his fatherly demeanor, "Where are you going? This is your home. You should talk nicely at home. It's not a good habit to divide the family all the time."

When Liang Yanbing heard this, she knew her father had compromised and smiled, "Oh, I thought you guys had broken up and were about to go back to your own house with your husband."

When she was a young girl, she wanted to marry Gao Pinyuan, but her father disapproved because he thought the couple was poor.

She told her father, "If you don't allow me, I will become a nun and never marry again."

The father had no choice but to say with a straight face, "Why be a nun? You should act like a married woman. What good daughter would say that she wants to be a nun?"

She knew that her father was not a heinous person who really wanted to sacrifice his daughter for his future. He was just a soft-hearted person who would listen to anyone.

Of course, her father agreed to this marriage with a gamble in mind, betting on whether Gao Pinyuan would pass the imperial examination and bring help to the family.

At that time, my husband was unwilling to stay in the Secretariat and asked to be the prefect of Huizhou, which made my father very angry.

Huizhou is a place with poor mountains and bad water, and the people are unruly. Officials with ideas are unwilling to go there.

It was Gao Pinyuan who chose Huizhou, which made Lord Zhongli angry for many years.

Gao Pinyuan saw that the atmosphere had eased and his attitude was no longer tough. He just agreed with his wife and said, "I just got the Shangshu Mansion and there are still many things to do in the mansion. I will go ahead first."

How could Lord Zhongli be willing to let people go? Is it easy for him to get down the ladder?

If we don't keep him now, we will be unable to catch him once our son-in-law officially takes office.

He said in a deep voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? We can still leave after dinner."

Gao Pinyuan remained silent, neither saying he was leaving nor staying.

Lord Zhongli was smart. He knew that if he didn't keep the second son, the "teacher", the "student" son-in-law would get upset.

He turned to his younger brother Liang Youbai cunningly, "Second brother, you too, you are so old, and you still want to split up the family."

Liang Youbai was not a flexible person. He did not hear that his elder brother was offering him a ladder. He straightened his back and said seriously, "Brother, some roads only require one step forward to lead to an abyss. Turn back before a big mistake is made. The Li family is the Empress Dowager's Li family. We are loyal to the Emperor and Beiyi. Brother, you are confused. Do you really not understand the dangers here? Do you really want to drag your family to die?"

Lord Zhongli looked at the people present and saw that they were all in a line. He seemed to be the only one standing alone. He suddenly felt frustrated and said, "Do you know how hard it is for me to be the head of this family?"

He sighed, as if he had aged several years. "Since you don't want me to worry about it, I will just leave it alone. From now on, the prosperity and decline of our family will depend on you."

Gao Pinyuan stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Don't worry, father-in-law. My family has fallen on hard times and I have been looked down upon since I was a child. I am grateful to my teacher and father-in-law for looking up to me, so I can marry a good wife like Bing'er. Bing'er's home is the home that I will protect."

This is a very thorough statement.

This means that since Gao's family has no one left, his home will be the Zhongli Marquis Mansion from now on. He is willing to shoulder the responsibility of promoting the Zhongli Marquis Mansion.

To put it more bluntly, he doesn't mind marrying into the wife's family.

Even though she is not really marrying into his family and taking his surname, but people are willing to work for the Marquis Zhongli Mansion, so what else can she ask for?

Lord Zhongli was overjoyed. He never expected that his son-in-law, who held a high position, could have such sentiments.

To be honest, he didn't think much of his son-in-law at first.

If the second son had not tried hard to promote it, saying that Gao Pinyuan had a bright future and great wisdom, he would not have wanted to marry his beautiful daughter to this poor boy.

Of his two legitimate daughters, the eldest is more beautiful and talented.

As for the second daughter, let's not talk about it. It was a blessing for her to marry into the Duke of the Guardian's mansion.

While his mind was racing, Lord Zhongli saw his second daughter standing at the door staring at her eldest son-in-law, and he suddenly felt his head buzzing.

Liang Yanbing also looked at her sister's regretful expression and said leisurely, "Just now I saw my brother-in-law wandering outside. You came here by yourself. Aren't you afraid that your brother-in-law will be unhappy?"

Liang Yanzhi's eyes were full of fire, red with jealousy, and her face was full of resentment. She whispered, "Sister, don't you remember? Your brother-in-law should be your husband. It's me, I married for you, I suffered for you! I should be the Shangshu's wife!" Finally, she gritted her teeth and spat out these words: "I! Should! Be!"

Seeing that her husband and second uncle sat back down, Liang Yanbing thought they were going to continue discussing the matter, so she took her sister out with a smile and walked to the small hall next door.

She asked the maids to serve tea, and when she was alone with the two sisters, she took a sip comfortably, "Sister, if you have a very short memory, I will help you sort out what happened in the past."

Liang Yanzhi stared at her sister with hatred, trying to tear the smile off her face.

They are all children of the same father and mother. The eldest daughter has the upper hand in everything. Food, clothing, and even husband are all rejected by her elder sister, so they can be hers.

That’s fine, but why is her sister prettier than her?

On the night she married into the Duke of Huguo's mansion, she heard Tang Chuwen complain, "Is this girl a concubine's daughter? How come she looks so different from her sister? I agreed to marry her because I thought sisters wouldn't be that different. Mother, how could I have the heart to do that to her if she looked like this?"

A feeling of humiliation welled up in her heart, and she heard her sister slowly poking her in the heart, "Who was it that boasted in front of me that Mr. Tang fell in love with you at first sight and would marry you, and asked me not to mind it? In fact, I knew at that time that you didn't dare to let your brother-in-law see your face before the wedding, otherwise he would not marry you at all."

Liang Yanbing spoke very slowly, basically answering her own questions, "Do you know why I didn't expose you at the time? Because I didn't want to marry him either. I have to thank my sister for snatching this marriage, otherwise how could I have married the husband of my dreams?"

Liang Yanzhi's face was almost deformed with anger, "But my brother-in-law likes me! He likes me! It's clearly me that he likes!"

A cold and serious voice came from the door, with a hint of disgust, "Do you think I'm blind?"
