In Zezhi Cottage.

Hua Yuanshan was sitting in front of the dressing table, holding a golden hairpin decorated with crabapple branches and gesturing at her head, when she suddenly heard a sigh beside her and frowned.

"Why are you sighing?" Hua Yuanshan threw the hairpin at hand onto the table and turned to look at Aunt Su with dissatisfaction.

Aunt Su held the teacup in her hand with a worried look on her face: "For so many years, I have been in charge of all the banquets in the mansion, big and small. Why did I ask a married outsider to take over the job?"

Since ancient times, I have never heard of a married sister coming back to help her brother manage the household!

"What's this?" Hua Yuanshan said nonchalantly, "There are so many ways to ruin a banquet, can't we just do something?"

At that time, not only can Mrs. Han be embarrassed, but the power to lead the family can also be regained in one fell swoop.

"But..." Aunt Su was still hesitating.

She has completely annoyed the old lady. If Shan'er had not appeared in time last time, she would have drunk Meng Po soup by now!

If we cause trouble again this time, wouldn't that be handing a ready-made handle to that old hag?

"Besides, isn't this just a blind date party? If we don't ruin it, do we have to wait for Dad to find a wife?"

Hua Yuanshan said impatiently, if Aunt Su hadn't been so incompetent, how could she still be just a concubine's daughter!

Aunt Su sighed softly. She naturally understood this.

But as long as she holds the power in the household, she has plenty of ways to keep the so-called "legal wife" in her hands!

"The Third Prince must come this time!" Hua Yuanshan said ruthlessly, "We must take him down this time! Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain that he got stabbed?"

Aunt Su finally came back to her senses and nodded in agreement.

Although this scar can arouse sympathy, it will also arouse disgust once the sympathy is exhausted.

The Third Prince has not sent anyone to propose marriage yet, so they really need to put some pressure on him.

Thinking of her daughter's future, Aunt Su breathed a sigh of relief, and after careful consideration, she said, "Mother, I do have some medicine here that may be of use."

As she spoke, she waved at Hua Yuanshan, motioning her to lean over and listen.

Hua Yuanshan stepped forward apprehensively, and after hearing Aunt Su's words, he hesitated: "Is this okay?"

Having lost her virginity before marriage, her reputation is ruined!

"Why not?" Aunt Su was full of disdain: "A woman's reputation is just a bargaining chip! It's worth it if used properly!"

Hua Yuanshan's heart was beating like a drum. After thinking it over again and again, she said, "But... if I use such dirty means to plot, what if the Third Prince dislikes me?"

That man would pull her out to block the knife! She didn't believe Gu Changsu's previous sweet words!

Aunt Su clicked her tongue and reached out to tap Hua Yuanshan's head: "Who said you should be the one to plot? Mother has her own way to make you innocent in his eyes."

Isn't there a Hua Yuanzhao in this mansion? If she fails to plot against the Third Prince and instead harms the concubine's younger sister, then let her take care of it!

Aunt Su thought about it again and gradually came up with an idea.

She whispered her idea, and Hua Yuanshan's eyes lit up. She grabbed her hand and shook it, "Mom, you really have the solution!"

Aunt Su looked at her helplessly with a doting look on her face: "If you fight back, I will bring your father and the old woman to block your way... He has ruined your innocence, can he still delay and not give you an explanation?"

This incident was only seen by family members, so there was no need to worry about anyone talking about it, so Hua Yuanshan's reputation would naturally not be damaged.

And Hua Yuanzhao, the "culprit" who caused all this, will naturally be punished!

This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!

Hua Yuanshan nodded contentedly, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She said to Aunt Su, "Shan'er also has an idea that can help mother solve the problem temporarily."

"What?" Aunt Su was stunned. Her daughter has never been very shrewd, so what good ideas could she have?

Hua Yuanshan said, "Just spread the word that this flower viewing banquet is for that old woman to find a second wife for Daddy, and she has already picked the one from the Xu family."

Aunt Su thought she had something to pay attention to, but when she heard these words out of the blue, she froze in place.

She said patiently, "What's so good about this?"

This is something that everyone knows!

"Oh, you don't understand." Hua Yuanshan said casually: "The Xu family is a noble family after all. With such rumors, they would never send their daughter to us on their own initiative!"

After hearing this, other families, even if they wanted to send their daughters to marry into the family, would have to compare their daughters with the young lady from the Xu family.

They didn't have to do anything, and the young lady from the Xu family became the target of public criticism.

As for the remaining families who still dared to bring their daughters here, they were either those who were eager to curry favor with the small and medium-sized families, or those who did not care about their daughters' lives in order to achieve their goals.

Isn't it easy to deal with a family like this?

"The rest of the shameless people who came must be from small families." Hua Yuanshan vowed: "You can just use some tricks to get rid of them at the flower viewing banquet!"

Then, I will blame the failure of the flower viewing banquet on Han! I will label her as incompetent! Let’s see how she still has the nerve to run the family!
