Upon hearing Fu Hanlai's words, Jiang Xuelin's face turned green.

That's why she said that getting married is such a hassle. Is it really impossible to have someone marry into your family? There will definitely be constraints when you marry into someone else's family, especially with that bastard Fu Hanlai.

Following his words, Jiang Xuelin seemed to already see Fu Hanlai's arrogant appearance, and her originally green face immediately turned black.

Having won a round, Fu Han was overjoyed to see Jiang Xuelin's dark face and pressed his advantage, "Then you'll be left with no one to turn to for help. If I say you can't eat the pastries from Yu Rong Zhai, you can't eat them. If I say you can't wear your favorite red, you can't wear it. You'll have to wait at home every day for me to come back, and you'll have to support all the women I bring back..."

"The princess forbids you from taking a concubine." Even if you want to, you can't. If you really violate this rule, she might even take the opportunity to divorce you.

Fu Hanlai: "..."

That mother who's holding us back!

Even so, he still retorted, "I never said I wanted to take a concubine. I just wanted to take her back to see her. After all, there are so many gentle and beautiful women. What's wrong with me taking a look? It's not like I'm taking a concubine."

"You're just going to take them back and see them, but not touch them?"

Hongluo, who was standing nearby, vaguely heard Jiang Xuelin's words and immediately felt uneasy. Unfortunately, the two of them didn't care what she thought and continued arguing.

“Yes, I’ll just watch and not touch them. That way, the Jiang family won’t be able to come knocking on our door.” Fu Hanlai looked down at Jiang Xuelin with a smug expression, taking advantage of his height, and waved the folding fan he used to show off.

Oh dear, he's determined to turn the tables today!

As for marrying Jiang Xuelin as he said?

Ha! He's not out of his mind. Does he really think Jiang Xuelin wouldn't dare to make a move? If it were any other woman, she probably wouldn't dare, but Jiang Xuelin?

When Jiang Xuelin saw Fu Hanlai nod in affirmation of her question, her face suddenly softened, becoming somewhat subtle, complex, and strange, which made Fu Hanlai's hair stand on end.

"...What? Let me tell you, Jiang Xuelin, if you make a move, I'll go to Lady Jing'an Marquis right now to settle things!"

"Nothing." Jiang Xuelin maintained that strange smile, making Fu Hanlai want to turn around and leave. Then he heard Jiang Xuelin's next sentence.

"So many beautiful young ladies are brought into the manor and kept, yet you don't even touch them. Young Master, are you impotent?"

Fu Hanlai: "..."

The folding fan in his hand was so startled by these earth-shattering words that it fell to the ground and landed among the peach blossoms. However, Fu Hanlai didn't have time to care that his tool for showing off had fallen to the ground and gotten dirty. He stared at Jiang Xuelin in astonishment, his face instantly turning red.

On the other side, Kang Tai had obviously heard Jiang Xuelin's words as well, and he looked equally incredulous. Only Hong Luo had expected this and was not surprised at all.

A gust of wind blew by, lifting Jiang Xuelin's hair and skirt, and her hair ornaments swayed slightly in the wind. The falling petals made her look extremely beautiful, as if she were in a dream, but Fu Hanlai had no mind to appreciate it at all.

"You're a woman, you're a woman..."

How could you say such a thing!

Are you even a woman?!

Hongluo didn't even look in that direction, her gaze sweeping forward. She thought to herself that the girl grew up on the frontier and often went to military camps, where there were only men. They would tell dirty jokes from time to time. Even though no one ever did it in front of the girl, she would occasionally hear it.

Prince Ping is underestimating the girl.

Besides, why can't the young lady talk about these things? After all, he's her future son-in-law. But what if things really don't work out? What will become of the young lady for the rest of her life?

Fu Hanlai has already come of age. At his age, many children can already run around, but he is still a novice.

He was frail and sickly from a young age, and Princess Ping and the others were worried that he would harm his health by indulging in sensual pleasures too early. So, despite his seemingly dissolute appearance, he had never actually been with a woman.

After Jiang Xuelin said that, he immediately lost his composure.

That was a devastating blow.

It must be said that Jiang Xuelin, being his mortal enemy, saw through his thoughts at a glance, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What's wrong with me?"

Jiang Xuelin would never say such things in front of others. If others heard it, they would surely doubt the upbringing of the Lady of Jing'an Marquis and feel that it was a disgrace to the family. But this is Fu Hanlai!

Fu Hanlai felt he should calm down quickly and find a way to get back at her, but he was red-faced and his neck was red, and Jiang Xuelin was an unmarried girl after all. He couldn't very well say that he was very capable and manly, or try to prove it to her, could he?

If he really dares to do it, Jiang Xuelin's fist will definitely arrive soon.

"You wait, when you marry into the Prince Ping's mansion, I will make my mother set rules for you, make you stand while eating, make you wash your hands to cook soup, make you serve me every day, and then lock you up and forbid you from going out." Fu Hanlai was rarely so provoked by Jiang Xuelin that he was speechless, and after stammering for a long time, he could only say this one sentence.

"Then let's do something unexpected, break your leg, and we'll all stay home and not go out." Jiang Xuelin sneered. She came here today to discuss the annulment of the engagement with Fu Hanlai, but since Fu Hanlai was so uncooperative, then she wouldn't be so lenient.

Let's argue first, and then discuss other things later.

Fu Hanlai: "...You vicious person!"

"Not as poisonous as you!"

"The most poisonous heart is that of a woman!"

"Ha, so when it comes to you men, it's 'no poison, no manhood,' right?"

A mocking glance.

Fu Hanlai: "..."

Something does seem a bit off.

"Just you wait. If I marry into this family, I'll beat you every three days, and every five days I'll beat you severely. I'll also have to eat twice a day and pay my respects to you morning and evening."

That's a rather arrogant statement.

Fu Hanlai originally wanted to say that there were so many people in the Prince's mansion, all of whom were his people, and they would definitely protect him, the heir. But then he suddenly realized that the guards in the mansion might not be a match for Jiang Xuelin.

After racking his brains, Fu Hanlai suddenly came up with a rebuttal.

"Ha! Mother Consort only said that one can take a concubine if one has no children by the age of thirty-five. Then I, the young master, can live in another courtyard. Just wait and see, I, the young master, will definitely be able to become a concubine, another secondary consort, and a few more lively and lovely children!"

Jiang Xuelin: "..."

Is Fu Hanlai planning to take everyone down with him just to hurt each other? He actually managed to be a vegetarian until he was thirty-five, and only started eating meat at thirty-five. I have to say, Jiang Xuelin was shocked.

"..."

The two stared at each other, neither willing to back down.

Come on, let's keep hurting each other!

The young man and woman under the peach tree looked very close from a distance, and everyone who saw them would say they were a perfect couple. They all knew that the young man and woman were whispering sweet nothings in the spring sunshine. But only Hongluo and Kangtai, who were not far away, knew what the two of them were arguing about.

After arguing for an unknown amount of time, Fu Hanlai, realizing he might lose again, quieted down for a while and wiped his face.

"...Or perhaps we should talk about how to annul the engagement."

"...Alright, let's stop this pointless arguing."
