Many times, when Grandpa was at a loss for what to do with a complicated illness, it was always Li Yuan's casual words that reminded him.

At that time they all thought that this girl was their lucky star. Now think about it, how can she be a lucky star? It’s obvious that she knows everything, okay?

Li Yuan, I didn’t expect that her good deed back then would lead to her picking up such a big treasure and bringing it home. It’s really something to be thankful for!

Li Yuan left and Ling Yun walked out the door right after her. She knew this of course. With years of tacit understanding and knowledge, she could also guess where Ling Yun would go.

I also know that there may be deep-rooted changes in the thinking of the brother and sister.

Although she didn't know whether what she was doing was right or not, she knew that if she didn't do it, she would definitely regret it in the future. The Ling family has been passed down for a hundred years. Even if the foundation is strong, if it cannot keep up with the changes of the times, it will be eliminated sooner or later.

So, she had to change their pedantic thinking.

In particular, the four countries are now in the most turbulent time. Although the four countries check and balance each other, once one country loses balance, the Dragon Empire will definitely take advantage of the situation.

At that time, the people's livelihood would be secondary. The turmoil caused by various powers would be enough to bring disaster to the country, which is something no one wants to see, and they must avoid it.

We must plan ahead and first take the lead in a strong position.

In this way, even if there is turmoil in the future, people will be wary of their strength.

"Miss, there is news from the Dragon Empire."

Just as Li Yuan was sitting in front of the desk in a daze, a low voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Dragon Empire? Bring it here."

As soon as she finished her words, a bamboo tube was sent out by a strong wind, and Li Yuan stretched out her fingertips and caught it accurately.

She didn't need to say anything, as someone flicked their fingers and lit the candle in the room. After Li Yuan read it carefully by the candlelight, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"It's him, haha. He really has no patience at all. He can't help himself like this? If that's the case, then I should stimulate him even more."

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the homemade pencil on the table, quickly wrote a few lines of strange characters on a small piece of paper, then rolled it up and threw it towards a certain direction in the darkness.

"Spread the word immediately and make sure she does what I said above. This muddy water must be stirred up at the right time to play an absolute role. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will relay your words to Miss Meng verbatim."

Li Yuan said "hmm", and the person in the dark quickly left. She walked to the window, pushed it open, looked out at the windless night, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which complemented the ghost face.

"People are always so greedy. Since you think so highly of me, Feng Yan, if I don't do something, wouldn't it be a waste of your respect for me?"

The next day, the weather was not good and it rained heavily.

All outdoor competitions naturally came to an end, but this did not affect indoor competitions.

Because of boredom, Li Yuan dragged Lingyun to watch a few women's literary examinations. The so-called women's examinations were nothing more than playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dancing, plus various knitting and embroidery, etc.

In short, in order to become a qualified talented woman, it is essential to have all the qualities. The two people watching are overwhelmed and cannot help but admire themselves.

Although Lingjiazhuang had never neglected training in this area since childhood, looking at the girls sitting there like they were carved from the same mold with perfect manners, the two of them somehow felt the atmosphere suddenly become depressing.

This depressing atmosphere made them very uncomfortable.

What they study is purely personal interest. If they like something, they can study it seriously. If they don’t like something, they can dabble in it a little. They don’t need to be proficient in it, as long as they can at least passably learn it.

But the girls in it feel like they were born to deal with these competitions. They are like modern nerds and have no spirit at all.

It makes people who watch and listen to it feel no emotion at all. Under such circumstances, the only things that can be created are dull and wooden works. Even if you get first place, there is nothing to celebrate.

Lingyun originally wanted to join in the fun, but after seeing this situation, she gave up. When asked why, she pouted.

"I don't want to compete with a bunch of soulless people. Looking at their appearance, I know what kind of childhood they sacrificed in order to gain so-called fame and fortune. I won't join in the fun."

"Yuan'er, I am now more and more grateful that you accompanied me in my childhood. You don't know how much your thoughts have influenced me over the years. If it weren't for you, I would probably be like them, a real girl who never leaves the house.

When I get old enough, I will find someone of equal status to marry, and then have three wives and four concubines, the husband is the sky, filial piety to the parents-in-law, take care of the children, jealousy, conspiracy, calculation, God, as long as I think about that kind of life, I feel that I might as well die early, at least that way it will be more comfortable!"

Li Yuan chuckled, "Sister, what are you talking about? Will your future life be different from this?"

"Of course it's different. Didn't you say that you want to marry a man who can be your lifelong companion? It doesn't matter if this man is rich or powerful, or has power or material gains. As long as he can give me the life I want, why not marry him?

Only a life full of adventures and ups and downs is a real life. I don't want to be trapped in the backyard by a man and compete with those women all day long. I want to be like you, not seeking wealth and honor, but just happiness and simplicity. "

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, "As women, we don't really ask for much in this life. Happiness is very simple. The key is whether you know how to be satisfied. Sister, I am really happy for you that you have such a profound awareness."

"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Is this enlightenment? This is obviously reality, okay? I, your sister, have high standards. Not every man can catch my eye. Marriage is a major event in life, and we can't be careless.

Don't accept those who don't look right, don't accept those who are too handsome, and don't accept those who are too honest. In short, I am very picky. Do you think I am stupid? Your conditions may seem to be unconditional, but in fact they are more stringent than any other conditions. "

At this point, Li Yuan almost clapped her thigh and cheered. Look, look, this is the disciple she taught.

This ability to integrate and comprehend is simply amazing.

Yes, their requirements are indeed abnormally high, but they never think about whether they are bad enough.

Apart from her face and figure, what else is wrong with Li Yuan?

As for Lingyun, there is no need to say more. She is simply a goddess in the eyes of men. How bad can her future partner be?

She should have found a man who was worthy of her. This man didn't have to be the best, but he had to be the best one for her.

The same goes for Li Yuan's man. First of all, he will not dislike her looks.

But, in this world where appearance matters, can she really find it?

Li Yuan, immersed in her thoughts about the future, seemed to have forgotten that she no longer had a choice, because the person she was about to marry had already come to her side.

Whether she is willing or not, she will get married. Unless someone divorces her one day, she will never have the chance to choose someone else in her life.

This is fate!

"Someone fell into the water, someone fell into the water, help quickly, help quickly!"

The two sisters were walking on the gravel road near Taiye Lake with umbrellas. It was raining heavily at the moment. In the thick rain and fog, if it weren't for the gravel road to guide them, they wouldn't even be able to tell the direction.

But at this moment, someone actually shouted for help. The voice was interrupted by the sound of the rain and came intermittently from a distance.

Li Yuan frowned and looked at Ling Yun: "It's raining so hard, did someone accidentally slip and fall into the water?"

"Let's go and have a look."

After saying this, Lingyun and Li Yuan held umbrellas and ran towards the source of the sound at full speed.

Because the rain was heavy and they were walking too fast, their skirts were soon soaked by mud and water, and even their shoulders were soaked.

When they got near Taiye Lake, they were stunned by the situation before them.

Several people from Prince Kang's Mansion were surrounded in a circle by people brought by Li Yujia, the fourth princess of Prince Wei's Mansion. The sisters had different and very ugly expressions on their faces, and there were many umbrellas scattered around.

I originally thought that someone had accidentally slipped into the water, but I didn't expect to see people from Prince Kang's Mansion and Prince Wei's Mansion here. Especially, each of them was a troublesome person.

The person who fell into the water was none other than Li Yujia, the fourth princess of the Prince of Wei's Mansion who was involved with Han Jin.
