Tangli left Bai Mansion and walked towards the market. As he walked, he found that the place ahead was very lively and there were a lot of people gathered there.

"Mom, I want to cancel the engagement. I don't want to marry a fifty-year-old man!" A scream rang out.

Tang Li thought the voice sounded familiar, so he went over to watch the fun.

The one who screamed was Chen Xiaocui.

Chen Xiaocui is going crazy.

The story began when she was shopping for clothes and had an argument with the daughter of a wealthy family. She was going to marry Mr. Bai Sanye, and she didn't take the young lady seriously. The young lady then said contemptuously, "What's so great about marrying a fifty-year-old man?" After the argument, Chen Xiaocui finally realized she had been deceived.

Third Master Bai wasn't the young man she had met that day. Instead, he was the old man with half-white hair, over fifty years old, who had been staring at her with a lecherous look from behind the young man. Third Master Bai had come to propose marriage, saying he had met her in the library, so she subconsciously thought he was the young man!

The old man had a bad temper and often beat people. He married three wives, two of whom were beaten to death by him!

Chen Xiaocui had a very high opinion of herself, and she didn't want to marry an old man! She either wanted to marry a young man and become a rich wife, or marry an official and become his wife!

So, she wanted to run to the Bai family to cancel the engagement, but was stopped by her family on the way, and then this happened.

Chen Xiaocui screamed and her mouth was quickly covered by someone, who was her mother Li Chunhua.

There was another person who was pulling her and trying to drag her back. It was her elder brother Chen Caisheng.

"Xiao Cui, why are you breaking off the engagement? Third Master Bai is so nice. Stop making a fuss and go home with mother."

"Yes, Xiao Cui, come home quickly. Big brother will give you some dowry so that you can marry into the Bai family with honor."

Chen Xiaocui struggled to break free from Li Chunhua's hand, "Are you still my mother and elder brother? You knew Third Master Bai was an old man, but you didn't tell me and actually lied to me together!"

"What old man? That's Mr. Bai San. The Bai family is the richest family in Yaoshui Town. If you become Mrs. Bai San, you will eat well, dress well, and be surrounded by a group of maids. Who can be as lucky as you?"

"Did someone say something bad about Mr. Bai Sanye? Someone is jealous of you! Or do you want to marry a country boy? Those country boys are not worthy of you!"

Li Chunhua and Chen Caisheng gave each other advice, but they had only one meaning, that is, Chen Xiaocui must marry Mr. Bai Sanye!

Chen Xiaocui was very determined: "I won't marry anyway!"

Chen Caisheng was also a little anxious. His business relied on the Bai family. If he offended the Bai family, he would be finished!

"Don't want to marry? Then just marry Lin Guaizi!"

"Mom, look at my eldest brother. He actually wants to sell his own sister for his own business!"

Li Chunhua felt heartbroken when she thought about breaking off the engagement and losing all the gold, silver and treasures in the family.

"Xiao Cui, your brother is right. If you don't marry Mr. Bai San, no one will dare to marry you!"

"Xiao Cui, stop making a fuss. If this gets out of hand and gets to the Bai family, what will you do if Third Master Bai doesn't want you anymore?"

Chen Xiaocui looked at the two people in front of her, unable to believe it. They really wanted to sell her out!

For the sake of face and money, they are going to marry her to an old man who beats his wife!

Chen Xiaocui felt like she had fallen from the sky into the mud, her eyes full of despair.

"Xiao Cui, go home. There are so many people watching us. You're going to bring shame to our Chen family."

Chen Xiaocui looked at those people, and when she saw one of the figures, she suddenly froze.

That figure was Tang Li.

She has always looked down on Tangli, but now Tangli is making fun of her!

Even though Mr. Bai San is a little old, he is still better than that cripple Wei Qing!

Mrs. Bai San, wearing gold and silver and having a group of maids, is something Tang Li will never be able to have in his lifetime! Her son is the young master of the Bai family, while Tang Li's children are only fit to farm and hunt, and serve as slaves for her son!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaocui suddenly realized that Mr. Bai Sanye was actually quite good.

She forced a smile on her face: "Mom, big brother, I was just in a nightmare. In fact, I can't bear to leave you. Mr. Bai is so good. He chose me instead of others. It's my blessing. Of course I have to marry him!"

Chen Xiaocui held her head high and chest out, walking past Tang Li in a proud manner.

…

Tang Li watched the excitement for a while. She felt that Chen Xiaocui didn't want to marry Mr. Bai Sanye in her heart, but for some reason, she still chose to marry him.

However, everyone has their own choices and everyone is responsible for their own choices. It is none of her business.

Tangli strolled around the market for a while, bought some things, and when it was almost time, he went to the town entrance to wait for the ox cart.

When Tangli returned home, it was still early in the morning. Wei Qing was weaving something in the yard. He changed his style and in addition to the bamboo basket, he also weaved a small bamboo chair.

Tangli sat down on the small bamboo chair and looked up at the rough and resolute face.

"Wei Qing, do you want to discuss something with me?"

"Wife, you say."

"Why don't we send Dabao and Xu Jue to the town to attend academy? Dabao is so well-mannered, I think he's a good student!"

Wei Qing stared at her straight.

His eyes were like those of a wild wolf, which made Tangli feel very uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wei Qing's heart swelled. His wife was truly devoted to the family. She had been supporting the family all along, and now she was still thinking about Dabao's future.

Wei Qing was really glad that he had bought her back with twenty taels of silver. When his leg healed, he would definitely treat his wife twice as well, no, a thousand times or ten thousand times better!

Wei Qing had actually considered letting Dabao go to school, but his leg was injured and the tuition fee for attending the academy was quite high, so the matter was delayed.

"Next year, when my legs are healed, I will send my two children to school," Wei Qing said.

It’s already the end of the year, and it’s just the beginning of next year before school starts.

Tang Li nodded and said, "Then I'll find out about the academy in town during this time."

These are the future two prime ministers. We must find a good academy and let them study hard. They must not be buried.

…

Bai Mansion.

Bai Muyang read until midnight before lying down on the bed. This was destined to be another sleepless night.

He was in poor health and gradually developed insomnia.

He has suffered from insomnia for several years. He feels restless at night and the long nights seem particularly unbearable.

He had consulted many doctors, even the imperial physician, but none of them could cure him. His insomnia seemed incurable.

However, tonight, as he lay there, that feeling of anxiety had not yet emerged, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

When he woke up again, he found that it was already bright outside.

Bai Muyang sat up suddenly with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He actually fell asleep?!

He remembered that when he went to bed last night, a faint smell of medicine lingered in his nose.

Could it be that...

Bai Muyang grabbed the medicine sachet, his expression filled with shock. Could this sachet really help him sleep?! He'd been prescribed sleeping pills before, but they'd been useless! How could this sachet actually be so effective?!
