"This humble servant, Fusheng, greets you, young master!"
Shen Que nodded slightly and looked him up and down.
Fusheng was about thirteen or fourteen years old. He had delicate features and clear eyes, and it was obvious that he had been carefully selected.
Thinking of Yanyan's thoughtfulness towards him, a tenderness flashed in Chen Que's eyes.
"Get up!"
He walked to his desk, sat down, and opened his book, not wanting to slack off for even a moment.
Seeing that the young master had begun to study, Fusheng quietly stood guard in the corner, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Shen Fengxian's study.
Li Mingshan looked distracted; this was the third time he had picked up the wrong document.
Shen Fengxian put down his pen. "Mingshan, what's wrong?"
Li Mingshan shook his head and sighed, "It's just a family matter, Fengxian, don't worry about it!"
"What is it? Is there anything I can do to help you? Mingshan, just let me know!"
"It's just some old news."
Li Mingshan sighed helplessly, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that my family is pressuring me to get married!"
Thinking of his family's situation, Shen Fengxian felt a pang of guilt.
Even he had to marry a woman to save face for his family, so how could Li Mingshan's family not be anxious about his marriage?
He didn't think about him at all!
"Mingshan, why don't you do what I did and just marry a woman who's easy to control? That way your family won't pressure you!"
“But…” Li Mingshan looked at him tenderly and murmured, “I don’t want to!”
I know what you mean!
Shen Fengxian pulled him closer, her voice tender, "But this isn't a long-term solution! If we want to be together for a long time, we have to know how to make choices!"
Li Mingshan looked at him, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Alright!" Shen Fengxian comforted him, "It's just keeping another woman at home, it won't take much trouble! If you don't know who to ask, I'll find one for you!"
"How can I let Fengxian worry about my trivial matters!"
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Li Mingshan's eyes as he casually said, "I've never really looked at women carefully before. When I went to the Li family with you before, I saw that widow. Women like her are the easiest to handle. Why don't we go with her?"
"Li Yunyan's sister?"
Shen Fengxian frowned. "She's a widow with a child. How could she be worthy of you?"
"Wouldn't it be better to have children?" Li Mingshan said innocently with a smile, "That would even solve the problem of having offspring!"
"How stupid!"
Shen Fengxian shook his head indulgently, "Given your status, the other party must at least be a respectable woman, otherwise your family wouldn't agree!"
"I have ways of getting them to agree back home!"
"Fine!"
Shen Fengxian didn't want to discuss women's matters with him too much. "Since you've made up your mind, I'll go and ask Li Yunyan what she thinks and have her go home and talk to her sister!"
Li Mingshan lowered his eyes, "I wonder if Madam will agree?"
He'll definitely say yes!
Shen Fengxian spoke with confidence and pride, "She has always been obedient. If I ask her, she will never refuse!"
"Then I'll wait for Fengxian's good news!"
Li Mingshan's eyes held both admiration and trust, which pleased Shen Fengxian greatly.
He wrapped his long arm around me and whispered, "So how are you going to thank me?"
......

"No! I won't agree!"
Li Yunyan was furious. She thought that these two bastards had given up their idea of messing with her sister, but she didn't expect that they were still thinking about her family even though the time was just delayed!
Why can't they just find another family to mess with?!
She clutched her stomach, feigning deep distress, tears welling in her eyes, and cried out, "I won't agree! I absolutely won't agree!"
Why won't you agree?
Shen Fengxian frowned deeply, his tone extremely displeased.
He originally thought this matter could be resolved with just a word from him! For Li Yunyan's sister, a widow with a child in tow, to be able to marry into a family of Li Mingshan's as his legal wife was an incredible stroke of luck!
Instead of happily agreeing, she refused?
What is there to hesitate about?
Li Yunyan knew Shen Fengxian's suspicious nature all too well; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the original owner's life based on a single suspicion! If her answer didn't satisfy him, it might ruin her image!
Actually, if you think about it carefully, even if your public image is ruined, it's not a big deal. It's just that you'll lose your husband!
She's already pregnant with two children and should live for at least another twenty years. By then, Shen should have established herself firmly, and having several more children shouldn't be difficult for her!
Having made up her mind, she abandoned her gentle and considerate demeanor and said firmly, "Everything in the Li family belongs to my sister and me! My sister promised me that she would never remarry, which is why I was willing to help her before! If she remarries, what will happen to the Li family's property? Husband, I am pregnant again, and I have to think about our child!"
Her logic was clear: for the sake of the Li family's wealth, she would not agree to her sister remarrying.
The reason for her change in temperament is: motherhood makes one strong!
Shen Fengxian listened carefully and began to consider it seriously.
Although he didn't care about the Li family's measly money, who cares about having a lot of money?
There are so many women in the world, Li Jingshu is just a facade, it's not like I can't live without her!
He asked again, "Are you sure you want to refuse? This is a wonderful thing, what if your sister agrees?"
"My sister won't agree! Husband, please stop talking!"
