Hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's question, Qin Yuan hesitated and then shook her head.
"We all know his temper. No amount of persuasion will change him."
"What I mean is, I want you to swallow up Dayu right now."
"As long as you make a move, I believe he will be very willing to hand Dayu over to you."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned, "But we have no intention of annexing Dayu, and the two children have already signed a marriage certificate."
Qin Yuan sighed, "I really have no other choice, so I resorted to this desperate measure."
"Only by handing Dayu over to you can he stop working so hard."
"Otherwise, I'm worried that he'll be exhausted to death before his two children get married."
Ye Xiaoxiao remained silent. She had asked the system many times before, and the system had always clearly stated that there was no better way.
Moreover, although the system is powerful, human birth, aging, illness and death are not something that anyone can easily change.
However, she doesn't want to annex Dayu yet.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Yuan with some apology.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you with that."
"However, I can help him in other ways."
Qin Yuan was a little disappointed at first, but when she heard Ye Xiaoxiao's next words, she immediately raised her eyes.
"Really? How are you going to help him?"
Ye Xiaoxiao said with a smile in her eyes.
"It's simple, we just need to solve the internal affairs of Dayu for him."
"Xinya's child is already grown up, so Queen Mother Dayu must also want to see her grandson."
"After we return, let Fourth Brother bring Xinya and the other brothers to Dayu."
Qin Yuan was a little surprised. "Isn't this too much trouble for you?"
"That's fine. It just so happens that Tianquan Bookstore, Tianji Bank, and Tianxia Restaurant are all opening branches in Dayu."
"Then let them take this opportunity to gradually develop things on Dayu's side."
"In this way, Dayu's problems can be solved at once, and he won't have to worry too much."
Qin Yuan was overjoyed when she heard this and immediately took Ye Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Xiaoxiao, thank you. I knew you were the only one who could help him."
Qin Yuan was happy at first, but then felt a little disappointed. Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxiao patted her hands.
"My treatment of him was mutual help, but yours was sincere and genuine. They can't be compared."
Qin Yuan's eyes lit up and the smile on her face deepened again.
"Xiaoxiao, you're right. It's thanks to you guys that you came this time. Otherwise, I would have gotten sick from worrying about him before he got hurt."
"Now that this huge burden has finally been lifted from my heart, I'm so happy."
Seeing that Qin Yuan was about to thank her again, Ye Xiaoxiao interrupted her.
"Well, you've thanked me so many times this evening."
"Since you consider me a friend, there's no need to be so polite. Besides, we're in-laws now, and we're a family."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the two women smiled at each other, and then walked together towards the hall where Shangguan Lingyun and Dugu Xin were drinking.
"Well, it's getting late, and we should rest. If you two are willing to drink, you can drink to your heart's content on the day your children get married."
Shangguan Lingyun looked at Ye Xiaoxiao beside him with a doting look, then stood up.
"Xiaoxiao has spoken, and my husband must listen. So we'll take our leave first."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin looked down on Shangguan Lingyun with contempt, and then walked towards Qin Yuan.
"Yuan'er, let's go back and rest. We don't want to drink with him anymore, haha."
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Shangguan Lingyun unhappily, and Qin Yuan supported Dugu Xin helplessly.
The two looked at each other and had to help their men away.
When they returned to the side hall where they rested, Shangguan Lingyun was no longer drunk at all.
Ye Xiaoxiao was not surprised, but just repeated to him what she had just said to Qin Yuan.
Shangguan Lingyun rubbed his slightly painful brow. Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxiao walked up to him and rubbed it for him.
"You guys are such a jerk. Why are you drinking so much alcohol for no reason?"
Shangguan Lingyun sighed, "This time, I clearly feel that Dugu Xin has aged a bit."
"It seems that it is indeed as Qin Yuan said."
"Well, he's my son's future father-in-law, so let's just help him out, even if it's difficult for us."
Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "I think you're a typical example of someone who takes advantage of others and acts ungratefully."
Shangguan Lingyun chuckled and grabbed the little hand that was kneading him. With a little force, Ye Xiaoxiao fell into his arms.
"It's so hard to get the two little ones to sleep. You have to reward your husband well tonight."
Ye Xiaoxiao glared at him coquettishly, "This is in someone else's bedroom. It's not nice to do this."
Shangguan Lingyun lowered his head and kissed Ye Xiaoxiao's red lips hard.
"If other people's sleeping quarters are not good, then we can go to our own sleeping quarters."
Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to follow him. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
On the other side, after Qin Yuan helped Dugu Xin back to her bedroom, she felt a little distressed when she saw Dugu Xin's unsteady steps.
"Why do you drink so much alcohol when you know you're not in good health?"
Dugu Xin chuckled, "I'm not happy today, so please stop nagging me, Yuan'er."
"Yuan'er, you were always frowning a few days ago, but now you look a little happy."
"Did Xiaoxiao say something to you that helped you resolve your worries?"
