After hesitating for a long while, Min'er tentatively asked.
"What do you think of Xixi? I think he's a really good child. He took good care of us on the way here. Most importantly, he's well-mannered. His parents are both good people, and we know them well. If you two are together, you definitely won't be mistreated..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fang Qianqian interrupted her.
"impossible."
"Why is it impossible? Do you not even like Xixi?"
"I don't care how good he is, I don't like him anyway. I just want to find an ordinary person and live an ordinary life."
Min'er pouted.
"What is the life of an ordinary person? You were destined to be extraordinary from birth. Your father is a mighty general, and your mother would never let you marry a good-for-nothing."
"Anyway, Zhao Xizhi just won't do."
"Why? I noticed on the way here that you don't seem to like Xixi."
"It's not that I don't like him, it's just... he'll like someone else in the future, there's no chance between us, you're just getting all worked up here, he definitely wouldn't even look at me."
Min'er was stunned for a moment by her words.
Yes, Fang Qing wants Qianqian to be her daughter-in-law, but she doesn't know what Xixi thinks.
And look at Qianqian's appearance...
Oh well, never mind.
The next day, Min'er told Fang Qing about it.
"Qianqian doesn't have any romantic feelings for Xixi."
Fang Qing was a little disappointed.
Xi Xi rarely asked her for a favor, and she still hadn't done it.
"That's such a pity for my Xixi," Fang Qing said.
"What's there to regret? Your Xixi might not even like my Qianqian. Besides, there are so many good girls in the capital, aren't they waiting for your Xixi to choose?"
Fang Qing shook her head. Since Qianqian didn't mean it, she didn't mention Xixi's meaning.
That evening, Fang Qing soaked her feet and told Zhao Shi'an about it.
"Does Xixi like that girl?"
"Well, they begged me to propose this marriage, but I couldn't bring it up."
"I can't blame you. Our two families are so close. It's not good for the adults to arrange a marriage. If he likes someone, let him go after him himself. It's not right for you to worry about his marriage. You're such a spineless brat."
Fang Qing glared at him.
"Why are you talking about my son? It's annoying."
"You're protecting him, aren't I wrong? When I was pursuing you back then, I didn't cause your parents any worry."
"That's not the same thing."
"How can they not be the same thing?"
Zhao Shi'an sat down next to Fang Qing and unceremoniously put his big feet into Fang Qing's foot bath, insisting on squeezing in with her. The foot bath was instantly filled to the brim.
"Back then, we liked each other. If we had confessed our feelings, we would definitely have been together. But Xixi, well, Qianqian doesn't like him."
Zhao Shi'an chuckled upon hearing this.
It's weird and sarcastic.
Fang Qing looked at him.
"What kind of attitude is this? If you're impatient with me, just say so."
"So someone still thinks that back then it was just a simple matter of breaking through the window paper."
What do you mean?
"Hmph, that's because I've liked you for a long time, and I tried every means to drive away the people around you, and then used my charm to seduce you. Otherwise, I would still be your brother in your heart."
As an old married couple, Fang Qing felt a little embarrassed to bring up this matter again.
"Look at you, so capable."
"Of course I can. Do you think it's an easy thing for me to beat out your other suitors and be with you?"
Fang Qing stepped on his feet and kissed his face.
“My husband is feeling wronged, let me comfort him.”
Before she could even fall, Zhao Shi'an pounced on her and appeased her in a way that satisfied him.
Zhao Xizhi originally wanted to ask Fang Qing about the marriage, but after hearing that they had slept together, she went back.
The next morning, Zhao Xizhi did not see Fang Qing, but was instead summoned to the study by Zhao Shi'an.
The father and son were playing chess when Zhao Shi'an brought up the topic of marriage.
“Your mother inquired about it for you a few days ago. Qianqian isn’t interested in you. If you want to rekindle your relationship with her, you should work on it yourself. Don’t drag your mother into it. Your mother has been so worried these past few days that she hasn’t been able to sleep well at night.”
Zhao Xizhi glanced at Zhao Shi'an.
"I wonder if the father can pass on some experience to his son."
Zhao Shi'an has only ever pursued Fang Qing, so he doesn't have much experience with her.
But he couldn't lose face in front of his son, so he pondered for a moment and said, "This is simple."
"First, you have to get rid of those ill-intentioned men around her."
Zhao Xizhi thought about it and realized that Fang Qianqian didn't seem to have anyone like that around her.
"Furthermore, you need to showcase your strengths. Only when you are strong and excellent enough that Qianqian can't see anyone else will you win."
Zhao Xizhi thought about what advantages she had.
"Finally, it's about making your feelings clear. That's what I did back then, and then I got together with your mother."
Zhao Xizhi looked at Zhao Shi'an.
He felt that his father had talked a lot of nonsense.
"Did you hear that? Figure it out yourself, don't worry your mother."
Zhao Xizhi thought that this sentence was the key point.
"yes."

After a few busy days, Fang Qing took Min'er and her two children to play outside the city for two days.
Fang Qing no longer interfered with the child's marriage. However, she heard from the servants in the mansion that Xi Xi often went to see Qian Qian and brought her small gifts. Moreover, the two often took walks in the garden.
Fang Qing was initially concerned about the two of them, but after seeing that they were getting along like friends, she stopped paying attention.
Xixi participated in the autumn examination this year and achieved very good results among a group of talented people who were older than him.
