At this time, Xue Jun came out of the room. The farmhouse had little sound insulation, so although Xue Huan and her mother deliberately lowered their voices when they were talking in the main room, she still heard some of it.

She was disgusted with the behavior of the old Xue family, but she also understood that as long as their family had the surname Xue, they would never be able to break off ties with that family, nor could they completely break off relations with them openly.

"Mom, sister, I don't think they will let this go." She frowned, her eyes filled with worry.

A cold look flashed across Xue Huan's eyes. "Jun'er, don't worry. I won't let them succeed."

Looking at Pei Ji sitting aside reading a book, her heart suddenly moved.

The reason why Old Lady Xue and her people kept coming to attack their family was because they saw that Xue's father was gone and they thought they were easy to bully as an orphan and a widow. Did they think they could let them do whatever they wanted?

In this world where men are superior to women, the difference between having a man in the family and having one is too great. Although she strongly disagrees with this idea, she alone cannot fight against the overall environment.

Since they wanted to marry her off so badly, why didn't she take the initiative and find a husband for herself? As for the candidate, wasn't there a ready-made one right before her?

That night, after they each went back to their rooms to rest, Xue Huan and Pei Ji sat face to face. Xue Huan recounted everything that had happened in their family recently, and concluded by saying, "Akang, the Xue family wants to marry me off so that I can't take care of the family. They also want to kick my mother, Yao'er, Jun'er, and you out and take over our house."

Pei Ji: "It's your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. As long as your aunt doesn't agree, they can't force you to marry anyone."

"That's true, but there's no such thing as a thief who steals all day long. What if they're using some despicable tricks in secret? Like deliberately slandering my reputation and forcing me to marry them?"

Of course, she was just assuming such a situation. She would definitely not be burdened by her reputation, but there was no guarantee that Mrs. Xue and the others would do so.

By the time they stir up public opinion, it will be very troublesome.

Pei Ji frowned. The situation Xue Huan described was very likely to happen. He had heard that the daughter of a minister accidentally fell into the water at a banquet and was rescued by a playboy. As a result, the girl had to marry the playboy, even though she and her parents were very reluctant.

He actually didn't quite understand this kind of thing, but the world was indeed harsh on women. Once their reputation was damaged, their entire value seemed to be discounted.

"What should we do then?"

"I have a plan, but I need your cooperation."

"What method?"

"Let's have a fake marriage. Just treat it as a game of house with me. After we get married, you will be the pillar of our family, and outsiders will not dare to bully us anymore.

"Of course, it's okay if you don't agree. I can hire someone to act out a play with me. Anyway, I want outsiders to see that our family is not without men. You can think about it tonight."

Xue Huan lay down after saying this, but soon after, Pei Ji said, "I promise you."

The next day, Xue Huan told her mother and the others about this idea. Mother Xue objected subconsciously, "No, that won't work."

Xue Huan: "Mom, what do you think is wrong?"

Xue's mother: "This... although your marriage is fake, outsiders don't know about it. When Akang regains his memory and leaves, what will you do then, Huan'er?"

Xue Huan: "That's a matter for the future. We'll talk about it when the time comes. Let's just deal with the current situation first, okay?"

"But Kang has lost his memory now and doesn't understand anything. What if he remembers and blames you later?"

Xue Huan looked at Pei Ji, and Pei Ji said, "Aunt, Huan Huan asked for my opinion, and I agreed to play this scene with her."

Xue's mother wanted to say something, but Xue Huan said directly, "How about we vote? Raise your hands if you agree with Akang and I getting married in a fake way."

She raised one hand and held Pei Ji's hand with the other.

Xue Jun and Xue Yao also raised their hands.

Only Xue's mother did not raise her hand.

She looked at her three children, feeling helpless. "Well, since Huan'er insists on doing this, and Akang agrees, then let's do it. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Xue Huan smiled. She liked this about Xue's mother. Once she made a decision, she would not hesitate but try her best to do it.

"Of course I have, mother. I want you to divide that orchid into several plants."

In fact, she can also divide the plants, but if you find something for Xue's mother to do, it can distract her attention and give her no time to think about other things.

"good."

Xue's mother came to the orchid in the yard. It was dug up by her husband from the mountains two years ago. Her husband knew that she loved flowers, so he would bring her back any rare flowers and plants he found while hunting in the mountains.

He said that when he discovered the orchid, it was in full bloom and the flowers were extremely beautiful. But for some reason, as soon as he dug it out, the flowers withered. Later, he took good care of it for two years, but never saw it bloom again.

It stays quietly at the foot of the wall, with its dark green and slender leaves, and looks unremarkable.

But for some reason it bloomed today. The flowers were a rare purple color, and the petals were as transparent and flawless as crystal glass, extremely beautiful.

Even though she had seen many rare varieties, she was still amazed by this orchid.

In fact, now is not the best time to divide orchids, but since Huan'er asked for it, she must have her intentions.

After dividing the plants, Xue's mother planted the mother plant back, watered it, and stroked its shiny green leaves.

After Xue Huan got the branch, she found an abandoned wooden barrel and planted it. At night, she took the opportunity of going to the toilet to take the branch into the space, replaced all the soil in the wooden barrel with the black soil in the space, and watered it with spiritual spring water.

She was afraid that the orchid would die from excessive nutrients if she watered it too much, so she controlled the amount and only dripped two drops at its roots.

Even so, the orchid continued to grow rapidly, growing taller at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its leaves became green and upright, with a cluster of smoky purple, pure and clear flowers blooming in the middle. It was even more ethereal and dreamy than the other one outside, and one look at it would make people fall in love with it.

She was a little reluctant to sell such beautiful flowers, but since she and Akang were going to stage a wedding scene, wouldn't they need props and extras? Wouldn't all of these cost money?

There are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in her own space. Although most of them are not convenient to sell, some of them can be used directly.

But she had no way to take out the money openly, and the only way for her to make some quick money was to sell flowers.

And as long as there is space, how many flowers can’t be cultivated?

She immediately divided the orchid and planted the divided plants directly in the space, while digging out the mother plant and planting it back in the wooden barrel.
