Xi Rui is used to being arrogant and domineering in the capital, so his momentum is extremely strong.

Tu Lihuan was angry again. This pair of bastards were working together to ruin his reputation and humiliate him. It was simply too much.

"Don't slander me. I'll say it one last time. Miss Lu and I are innocent. She is not my sweetheart."

He didn't want to marry Miss Lu at all. A woman from a family as aristocratic as the Tu family, who had little value to him and whose personality was unruly and willful, was not qualified to be his wife.

When Xiao Baili heard what he said, she looked at him with disdain, "Mr. Tu, I used to think you were a gentleman because you looked decent. I didn't expect you to be such a person."

"Although Miss Lu's character is not very good, her innocence was ruined by you today. Don't you want to marry her?"

"You are a scumbag if you behave like this."

Tu Lihuan: “…”

He never thought that one day he would be called a scumbag by the woman he wanted to marry.

But he couldn't refute it. After all, when he went to rescue Miss Lu, he did have physical contact with her.

Originally, he was thinking of finding an excuse, saying that human life was at stake and he had no choice but to ask Miss Lu to go and explain to her fiancé's family.

Who would have thought that things would get so out of hand, with Miss Lu's fiancé's mother even burning incense here and now wanting to cancel the engagement.

The engagement with the Lu family was broken off, so for the sake of the Tu family's reputation, he had no choice but to marry Miss Lu.

The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel.

He looked at Xiao Baili with a cold look in his eyes, thinking that it was Xiao Baili and Xi Rui who caused the situation today.

Since Xiao Baili doesn't want to be his wife, then she can be his concubine.

As long as he can destroy Xiao Baili's innocence, she will have to enter his Tu family no matter how powerful her backers are.

Thinking of this, Tu Lihuan suppressed his anger.

Tu Yujiao was also feeling very aggrieved at the moment. Her brother was so outstanding and Miss Lu was not worthy of him at all.

But now that things have turned out like this, I have to marry her even if I don’t want to.

She looked at Xiao Baili and Xi Rui with a somewhat cold look. It was all because of these two people, otherwise how could it have turned out like this.

Xiao Baili simply ignored the looks from both of them.

This brother and sister are completely sick. They clearly wanted to harm others, but in the end they failed and suffered backlash. Instead of looking for the reason themselves, they even hate the people they almost harmed.

She didn't want to bother with the brother and sister anymore, so she turned to Xi Rui and said, "Brother Rui, it's getting late, let's go back."

Xi Rui also felt that he had watched enough of the show, "Okay!"

So the two of them took Erlang away. Tu Lihuan also wanted to leave, but he had no choice. He had to stay and clean up the mess.

After Xiao Baili and Xi Rui returned to North City, they told Xiao Hanzheng and others what had happened today.

Xiao Hanzheng and King Yi both sent people to secretly protect Xiao Baili, so they already knew about it.

Xiao's mother and Shi Qingluo had just returned, and they were a little angry when they heard about this.

Shi Qingluo snorted, "Tu Lihuan and that Miss Lu are a perfect match. It's better to lock them up to prevent them from causing trouble for others."

She added: "But we still have to teach the Tu family and the Lu family a lesson, to let them know that my Bai Li is not someone who can be bullied or schemed against."

Liang Yulin and Xiao Hanzheng both agreed with this point, "Yes, if our children are bullied, of course we have to take it out on the adults in their family."

Shi Qingluo hadn't fought for a long time, "Then I'll take Bai Li to the Lu family tomorrow."

Her sister-in-law was bullied, so of course she, as the princess's sister-in-law, had to seek compensation.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled dotingly and said, "Okay, bring more people with you."

Then he exchanged glances with King Yi. It seemed that the Tu and Lu families deserved to be punished.

After taking a shower in the evening, Shi Qingluo lay down and let Xiao Hanzheng wipe her hair.

"Old Xiao, have you noticed that Xi Rui's eyes look at our Bai Li a little strange?"

He really didn't notice this.

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, "It's just one more kind of favor."

"If I'm not mistaken, Xi Rui should like our Bai Li."

Xiao Hanzheng believed in his young wife's keen perception.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What about the white pear?"

Before, the Liang family wanted Liang Youxiao to marry Bai Li, but Princess Liang looked down on his sister's status, so Liang Youxiao was often picked on and punished by King Yi during that period.

But he didn't expect that Xi Rui actually had such an idea.

Shi Qingluo replied: "My younger sister probably doesn't have such an idea yet, but I think she and Xi Rui get along well."

"Recently, the two of them often take Jiro out to eat, go shopping, or play."

"I see my little sister and Xi Rui are together, and they are very happy."

Xiao Hanzheng loves his sister very much, but he is not the kind of brother who dominates her.

"If my little sister likes it, I have no objection."

He added: "Xi Rui's words are indeed more suitable than Liang Youxiao's."

Liang Youxiao's family is too complicated. The Crown Prince's wife is not easy to get along with, and he has two difficult sisters-in-law. His sister will definitely not be happy living in the backyard after she marries there.

Moreover, Liang Youxiao is very ambitious and focuses more on his career. While working hard for his career, he certainly does not have more energy to take care of his wife and children.

This is also the reason why King Yi and he do not approve of Liang Youxiao and his sister.

As for the Xi family, although they are also a duke's mansion, their relationship is much more harmonious than that of the Liang family.

In the Duke's Mansion, Xi Rui is not only the apple of the eye of the old lady and the prince's wife, but also doted on by the old man and Prince Xi.

Xi Rui's two elder brothers were not jealous, but instead followed suit and spoiled him.

The two sisters-in-law are also quite smart and won’t deliberately pick trouble out of jealousy or anything like that.

Xi Rui has no ambition, and the Xi family doesn't need Xi Rui to bear any responsibilities, so they can live an easy life.

Although Xiao Hanzheng didn't care about family background, it would be better if his sister could marry someone with good conditions.

Marrying a scholar or military general from a poor family, marrying down is not necessarily happier than marrying up.

Many mothers-in-law from poor families can be even more harsh on their daughters-in-law than the ladies from wealthy families.

It’s not that I look down on poor families, but it’s really not suitable for my sister now.

Of course, the key still depends on what my sister likes. As long as the person she likes has good character and his family members are not bad, she will not object.

Shi Qingluo agreed: "I also think Xi Rui is actually quite good."

"Let me test him tomorrow."

It’s almost time for my sister-in-law to get engaged.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, ma'am!"

The next day, Xi Rui came with King Yi to have lunch.

After Shi Qingluo finished eating, he suddenly asked Xi Rui, "Old Xi, you are already old enough to be forced into marriage. Should you get married the next time you return to Beijing?"

Xi Rui was a little confused by Shi Qingluo and didn't know why she asked that.

He replied: "It's okay. Although there is such a rule, the government dare not force me to marry."

"My family also said that the gang will take care of it for me and will not allow the government to match me up."
