"If you really think so, it's worth our raising you. Let's schedule your wedding for three days to avoid any unpleasant rumors."

After hearing what Su Yunxi said, Jiang Shi finally felt relieved and just prayed that she would not act like a demon again.

If she gets married smoothly, they will have no relationship in the future. Whether she and Du Wenqing are happy or not has nothing to do with her.

Du Wenqing was still immersed in the fact that Su Yunxi had just agreed not to acknowledge her as his adopted daughter.

He was still trying to fight for it, but then he heard Jiang say that the wedding would be scheduled for three days later.

It's so rushed, with only one day to prepare, why not get married directly during tonight's banquet!

This is really too much!

Even Su Yunxi was surprised for a moment. The Du family and the Bai family had not yet finalized the wedding date. I'm afraid Du's mother hasn't prepared anything yet.

How to get married?

"Madam Bai, isn't three days a bit too tight?"

Du Wenqing didn't know what to argue about first. He could only intervene whenever he could.

His mother had not yet agreed to the marriage, so he had not yet discussed the wedding date with the Bai family.

He felt that today's matter would definitely be accomplished, and his mother would be happy to welcome the daughter of the Prime Minister into the family.

So he did not persuade Du's mother, and similarly, the Du family did not start preparing for the wedding.

"Mr. Du, instead of bargaining with me here, why don't you go back and make preparations quickly? After all, your marriage has been planned for a long time, and I'm sure Mrs. Du has almost finished her preparations!"

Jiang decisively rejected Du Wenqing.

If we rely on the Du family to set the date, it will be too late!

It is better to give a deadline to avoid more troubles. Jiang is not stupid. From Du Wenqing's words tonight, it is not difficult to know that

He was still thinking about his own daughter, which was no different from stepping on Jiang's vital point.

She glanced at Bai Shu who was fiddling with the red coral beads on her wrist, and thought to herself,

She held a wedding banquet for Su Yunxi for a purpose, which was to find a future husband for Bai Shu so that Du Wenqing would no longer be thinking about her.

Seeing Jiang's resolute attitude, Du Wenqing knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

So he turned to Bai Heng, hoping to at least have a relationship with the Prime Minister.

"My Lord Prime Minister, I will not tell anyone about what happened today, but this—"

Du Wenqing said this while gesturing to Su Yunxi, praying that she could understand what he meant and work together to fight for it.

After all, the identity of the Prime Minister's adopted daughter is of great benefit to her.

But he underestimated Su Yunxi's stubbornness. When Du Wenqing used Su Yunxi's reputation as a bet,

It is destined that the relationship between the two will gradually drift apart.

Su Yunxi just looked at him coldly without saying anything.

Of course, Du Wenqing didn't finish his words.

Because, once their marriage was finalized, it meant that Du Wenqing no longer had to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Bai Zirong didn't wait for Du Wenqing to finish speaking, he stood up, grabbed his sleeve, and dragged him to the door.

Du Wenqing, who was already in pain all over, was now so tortured that he couldn't even speak. He hugged himself and took a deep breath.

"Do you want to get out of the Prime Minister's Mansion on your own, or should I help you?"

Bai Zirong looked down at Du Wenqing, with disgust in his eyes that he did not hide at all, making Du Wenqing feel ashamed.

But he still had a trace of dignity in his heart, so after he eased the pain in his body, he spoke with difficulty.

"I can walk on my own."

Du Wenqing looked at the Bai family in the room, especially the arrogant Bai Shu. He always felt that there was a playful smile in her eyes.

Without time to think, he dragged his broken body and hurriedly got up to go home.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be devoured by Bai Zirong's fierce gaze and clenched fists.

Inside the room, Su Yunxi watched Du Wenqing leave without saying a word.

Bai Heng and the others watched the farce end and returned to their rooms.

The old lady, supported by her personal nanny, went straight back to her room without even glancing at Su Yunxi.

She could only leave alone in frustration.

Bai Zixuan and Liu Ruyin, who were newly married, had no idea what was happening here.

One night, I don't know how many people couldn't sleep all night.

…

"Second brother, I have something to tell you."

When they reached the backyard, Bai Shu suddenly called out to Bai Zirong. She hadn't given him the magic crossbow diagram she had drawn yet.

No one knows when Beimo will launch a war, so it is always better to prepare early.

"Hmm? Is it about tonight?"

Bai Zirong looked at Bai Shu with heartache again. He was still angry and suddenly regretted it. He felt that he had gone too lightly just now!

Judging from the way Du Wenqing crawled out of the Prime Minister's residence, he should be able to get another beating!

"No, I met a master some time ago who is quite knowledgeable about weapons. I saw that the divine crossbow he made was amazing, so I wanted to buy it for my second brother."

Bai Shu brought up the theory of the master again. Anyway, he didn't know who the master he was talking about was.

This trick always works!

"Oh? The divine crossbow? Take my second brother to have a look!"

When Bai Zirong heard that it was a weapon, and a divine crossbow at that, he thought it must be something extraordinary.

He suddenly became energetic, with a light in his eyes, and wanted to see it first.

"The divine crossbow is just one of its weapons. It's crafted with exquisite craftsmanship and is not something that can be given away lightly."

Bai Shu smiled mischievously and kept the secret.

"Anything that can be called a divine crossbow must be difficult to make. We certainly can't just come here with nothing. I wonder if we can buy it?"

Bai Zirong has loved collecting weapons since he was a child, and he knows how important a handy and sophisticated weapon is to a collector.

It is always wrong to steal someone's love, but if it is really impossible, there is no regret in letting him see her beauty.

"Coincidentally, this expert heard that my second brother was in the military camp, and he was willing to give me the weapon's manufacturing drawings free of charge."

Bai Shu then revealed her ultimate goal, which was to give the three drawings to Bai Zirong.

The process of making the divine crossbow is not easy. The way to maximize its value is to hand it over to the army and let the Dongye court provide manpower and effort to make it.

Otherwise, secretly stockpiling heavy weapons would undoubtedly be the most fatal handle for these ministers.

"Are you serious? That expert is so extraordinary that he's willing to share the blueprints for free?"

"This is a tremendous amount of merit and wealth, does he really not care?"

Bai Zirong was shocked by what Bai Shu said. To what level must this master have reached to be able to accomplish such a great thing?

He couldn't wait to meet this master.

"He really doesn't care. He didn't even say his name. And I saw that he was well-dressed and had an outstanding temperament. I guess he really doesn't care about these things."

Bai Shu said this without blushing or beating her heart. In Bai Zirong's eyes, this matter was impossible to verify.

In addition, this expert did not exist in the first place, and this blueprint was also drawn by her.

So she wasn't worried...
