Sisi stopped humming.

Sisi stood up, hands on her hips, glared at Lao Bai with her big, watery eyes, and said fiercely, "Fine! You want me to disobey my mother?"

"...Little darling, what do you want from me? How about I dance for you?"

"Your dancing is watchable?"

"Then let me sing you a song."

"Can you sing well?"

"Then let me perform a magic trick for you."

"I taught you all those magic tricks."

"So what do you want me to do? I'm out of options, I... I..." I'm innocent too. "I don't know how to coax girls."

"You'll have to move a small table to the corner to eat lunch today."

That's it? "Little monster, you're trying to scare me!"

Sisi gave Lao Bai a smile. "Yeah."

"You little rascal, I thought you were really angry."

"You're not talking about 'other people' anymore?"

"I'll talk to you next time you're angry." Old Bai sat down in the chair next to Sisi, pouring water as he spoke. "By the way, why has your mother suddenly become so generous? Has she struck it rich?"

Sisi waited until Lao Bai brought the teacup to his lips before saying, "My mother probably found you a wife, so she's letting you have some fun now."

"Pfft!" Old Bai spat out the tea in his mouth.

"Perhaps my mother has already decorated your wedding room and set the wedding date, just waiting for you to come back."

"Little monster, don't scare me."

"Then why did my mother let you play as much as you wanted?"

"...How about you go back to the capital alone in a few months?"

"This is Lao Hei's first child, how can you not go back?"

“…Little monster, how about we break off our friendship?”

"OK."

"...Little monster, you actually agreed!"

Sisi added some tea to Lao Bai's teacup. "It's no use me agreeing, you can't beat Lao Hei anyway."

"..." If Old Hei knew that he had broken off his friendship with the little monster, he would definitely think it was his fault and would beat him so badly that he wouldn't even recognize himself.

"Alright, alright, I won't scare you anymore. My mother will at most choose a few marriages for you to go back and pick, but she will never arrange a marriage for you without your consent."

"..." Old Bai wanted to beat Sisi up. Scaring him once wasn't enough, she had to do it twice. "If I beat you up, will you tell Old Hei when you get back?"

"meeting."

"How old are you to still be tattling? Only children tattle."

"How old am I? Unmarried people are all children. You're a child too, and you can go to Old Black to complain."

I complained to Lao Hei, but he ignored me. "Your statement is incorrect. Once you're over ten, you're an adult and can't complain anymore."

Sisi gave Lao Bai a smile. "I like to tattle."

"This habit is bad and needs to be changed."

"No change."

...

Over here, Lao Bai tried to persuade Sisi even after he had talked himself hoarse, but he still couldn't convince her.

After failing to beat Sisi, Lao Bai decided to spend more money on Sisi to calm his nerves.

Sisi wasn't afraid of him spending money.

On the other side, Duan Ruoqing felt uneasy when she heard that someone was going to arrange a marriage for Lao Bai. "Third Young Madam, since you have other matters to attend to, I will take my leave now."

"No." Since this matchmaker is here to find a spouse for Lao Bai, she'll probably praise him. "You know Lao Bai too, so you can give us your opinion."

“Yes.” Han Dongyu thought the same thing as Feng Chan. “You can give us your opinion. If we make the wrong choice, Lao Bai will have no good days for the rest of his life.”

"This..." Duan Ruoqing wanted to leave, but also wanted to stay and listen to what kind of marriage the matchmaker wanted to arrange for Lao Bai.

Feng Chan looked at Duan Ruoqing and smiled, "People often say that three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang. There are exactly three of us, so we are just right to be equal to one Zhuge Liang."

Han Dongyu also laughed and said, "That's right, Sister Duan, you can't leave. If you leave, we won't be Zhuge Liang anymore."

Duan Ruoqing had already been considering staying, but after Feng Chan and Han Dongyu persuaded her again, she decided to stay.

A moment later, the matchmaker came in with her maid.

The matchmaker bowed to Feng Chan. "Greetings, Third Young Mistress."

"Yes. This is Madam Hei, and this is Miss Duan."

The matchmaker bowed to Han Dongyu and Duan Ruoqing. "Greetings, Madam Hei, and Miss Duan."

Han Dongyu: "Mm."

Duan Ruoqing: "Hello."

After exchanging greetings, Feng Chan asked the matchmaker, Hua, to sit down. "Hua Niangzi, what made you decide to come and play matchmaker for my husband, Lao Bai?"

Of course, your husband is better off. "It's not that I thought of it; someone has had their eye on your husband for a long time."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, and there's more than one."

Upon hearing this, Feng Chan immediately put on a surprised expression. "Really? My Lao Bai... my Lao Bai... uh... you know, my Lao Bai likes to drink with courtesans."

"So what? Compared to taking a bunch of concubines and having a bunch of illegitimate children, drinking and carousing is nothing."

Duan Ruoqing: "..." Why does this sound so familiar?

Feng Chan: "Is that what they all think?"

The matchmaker nodded. "Only your family. Which other official family doesn't take concubines? If I were those men's legal wife, I would rather let them go drinking and carousing than let them take concubines."

Upon hearing the words "official wife," Duan Ruoqing realized why the matchmaker's words sounded familiar. Her mother had said something similar.

Feng Chan decided to give the matchmaker a bigger tip. "Now that you mention it, it's really true?"

"Of course. There's nothing wrong with drinking with courtesans."
