"My sister has just reached the age of marriage, so there's no need to rush into marriage. Her lifelong decision needs to be carefully considered."

Bai Zixuan secretly took note of Bai Heng's words.

It seems that in addition to investigating Du Wenqing, he also needs to investigate the Regent's attitude towards his sister to prevent his sister from repeating the same mistakes...

"Of course. There's no rush for this kind of thing. Even if my sister stays home and doesn't get married, we, her brothers, can still provide her with food and clothing!"

Bai Zirong immediately expressed his opinion. Looking at the entire capital, who would not envy the relationship between them as brothers and sisters?

"I'll be grown up soon! I can be a safe haven for my sister too!"

Bai Ziyi is a little brat who brazenly says he wants to support Bai Shu.

"You guys!"

"Shu'er is so outstanding, she's like the moon surrounded by stars, how could she not get married?"

Jiang was so angry at her three sons' words that she laughed. If it weren't for Du Wenqing's incident, the door of the prime minister's mansion would have been trampled down by matchmakers...

"Mom, my brothers haven't married yet, so it wouldn't be a good idea for me to get married first. Why don't you find a partner for the eldest and second brothers first, and then it won't be too late to talk about me."

Bai Shu doesn't want to get married early. She has just turned fifteen, but Bai Zixuan is already nineteen and Liu Ruyin is sixteen. Time is running out!

Sure enough, when Bai Shu said this, Bai Zirong's expression changed slightly.

"Big brother, get married first! He and the daughter of the Minister of Works are childhood sweethearts. They were engaged when they were young, and now it's time to fulfill it."

Bai Zirong quickly turned the topic to Bai Zixuan. How could he, who was about to join the army, get married at this time? That would delay the girl's future.

"Xuan'er, mother will find a matchmaker right away, and choose an auspicious day to come and propose marriage to you."

Seeing that Bai Zixuan looked dejected but did not refute Bai Zirong, Jiang suddenly felt a spark of hope in her heart, and she struck while the iron was hot.

"Mom, let's wait for my matter. When the time comes, I will ask you to propose marriage."

Bai Zixuan smiled bitterly. In the eyes of outsiders, he and Liu Ruyin were childhood sweethearts. He took that childhood joke seriously.

But for some reason, three years ago, Liu Ruyin suddenly started to distance herself from him and avoid him without even giving him a chance to explain.

He tried many methods, but nothing could make the two of them go back to their childhood. Are they going to miss each other like this?

What's up, Fat Si? Is my big brother going to play the tragic hero? I've already announced that I won't chase Du Wenqing around and do stupid things anymore. Liu Ruyin's family shouldn't stop me, right?

Bai Shu put her hands in her pockets and felt that things were not simple.

[The original plot stated that Liu Ruyin's parents stopped her, but the minor characters were not explained in detail.]

The system also feels that there is something hidden...

"Okay, mother has prepared the betrothal gifts and dowry for you, and is just waiting for your order."

Jiang smiled and exchanged glances with Bai Heng.

Their eldest son's thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to guess. The wife he used to be eager to marry is now not at all enthusiastic.

"You may have to stay a little longer for my position. Today, the Regent has granted me the position of Captain, so I will be able to report soon."

Bai Zirong was so excited that he wanted to tell all the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion about it.

He even didn't let go of the carriage horse, which shows how happy he was...

"Brother, you won't get too tanned and no one will like you, right?"

After saying this, Bai Ziyi ran and hid behind Bai Shu.

"Hey! You little bastard, come here—"

Bai Zirong pretended to chase Bai Ziyi, making Jiang and Bai Shu laugh non-stop.

There was only Su Yunxi. If she hadn't been clutching the handkerchief tightly in her hand, with the jealousy on her face almost uncontrollable, could Bai Shu even dream of becoming the Regent?

Even though the Prime Minister's Mansion can call the wind and rain in Dongye, not everyone can reach the pinnacle of Xiao Moqing's immortal-like character, and Bai Shu still looks down on him?

And why is she still not on the list of marriage candidates? The old lady and Jiang had arranged several good marriages for her in the past, but she always felt that it could be better.

Now she finally found a potential stock with both talent and beauty. By relying on the influence of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would definitely not be troubled by her mother-in-law. However, she did not expect that Bai Shu would devalue her to nothing.

She wanted to see how well Bai Shu could marry in the end.

…

"Alright, the Queen is going to hold a flower viewing banquet in the palace in two days. Shu'er and Yunxi have been invited. You can go together to relax and enjoy the flowers, which will change your mood."

Bai Heng stopped the brothers from playing around. There were many noble ladies at the banquet, so it would be nice to let Shu'er make new friends and have some fun.

The main thing was that he was worried that Bai Shu would have random thoughts when she was free. After all, her coquettish behavior had gotten away with it in front of Jiang, but it seemed a bit evasive in front of him.

He had never considered Xiao Moqing as a junior or even a son-in-law before, so it seemed he would have to pay more attention to him in the future...

[Tongzi, is Liu Ruyin going to the flower viewing banquet?]

Bai Shu will not sit idle, she will start assisting mode and protect her elder brother's love!

[She should go. This banquet is hosted by the Empress, and all daughters of officials of the fifth rank and above will attend.]

The system immediately understood what Bai Shu was going to do.

"Okay, Daddy. The flowers in the Queen's Palace are definitely more beautiful than ordinary ones."

Bai Shu agreed without hesitation. She wanted to test her future sister-in-law's opinion.

Bai Zixuan was stunned when he heard about the flower viewing banquet. She should go, but he couldn't attend.

They have missed each other again and again for the past three years. Perhaps their relationship is destined to be shallow...

"Okay uncle, my sister and I will definitely help each other."

Su Yunxi stated that she actually had no interest in the palace banquet. The queen's reputation for jealousy had already spread throughout the capital. What was the point of her hosting a flower-viewing banquet?

It would be better for her to take advantage of the opportunity when Bai Shu gave up Du Wenqing and get him.

"Well, Yunxi has been in the Prime Minister's Residence for six years. Although you are a cousin, your every move in the capital represents the Prime Minister's Residence.

Don't be careless, make more friends, and you will have more people to talk to in the future."

The old lady scolded Su Yunxi. She felt that she had done her best for her half-sister.

If Su Yunxi really likes Du Wenqing, then she will decide to marry her, and she will have to walk her own path from then on.

"Yunxi remembers her grandmother's teachings."

Su Yunxi responded obediently, but her heart was filled with silent jealousy.

Bai Shu can do whatever she wants when she goes out, without being wronged, because the Xiangfu is there to protect her.

She was already cautious enough in the mansion, and now she even had to be careful about what she said and did when she went out. How could their reincarnations be so different...

[Susu, I sense a strong hatred emanating from Bai Lianhua.]

The system really admires Su Yunxi. The sweetest smile on her face, the darkest in her heart...
