She wore a purple bodice inlaid with silver thread, and a set of golden phoenix hairpins on her head. The phoenix head held a thin gold chain in its mouth, and a pearl hung from the bottom, dangling on her forehead.

Thin eyebrows, drooping eyes, and affectionate eyes.

The thin layer of rouge on her eyelids further highlighted her charming look.

After completing the ceremony, he looked at Qi Xiao intently.

Tan smiled and said, "It's Minghui! Why are you here at this time?!" in a joking tone.

Qi Youyi saw it all and felt deeply moved. His mother was always like this: no matter how sad she was, she always smiled to others and never made things difficult for anyone.

She is well-known at home and abroad! It is because of Cui's bad temper that she can't get along with him!

Qi Xiao also turned sideways and looked at Xu Minghui, with a deep smile on his face that he did not conceal.

"Father, husband! You've been gone for more than a year. It's been so hard!"

Qi Xiao just looked at her with a silly smile and didn't answer.

Tan said, "Come on, both of you hurry back to the house and talk! Minghui, ask him carefully if he is injured or not!"

"yes!"

The two of them walked away in a hurry with affection in their eyes.

Qi Youyi did not leave, but continued to ask Tan, "Mother, I didn't care much about the marriage of the fourth and fifth children! In your opinion, is there anything wrong with it?"

Tan leaned back and found a more comfortable position. "Whether it's appropriate or not, it's hard to make a conclusion without seeing the person. But how many ladies from wealthy families can't be found in the capital? There are several princesses and county ladies waiting to be married. With Xiaowu's talent, wouldn't it be better to find someone like this?"

Her tone was a little excited, and she seemed to regret it after she finished speaking, "Look at me! I had decided not to say anything, but as soon as I saw you, I opened my mouth again!"

"Father and my third brother are not here. If you have something to say, who can you tell it to if not to your son?"

"Yes! Alas, it was me who arranged Xiao'er's marriage. Although your wife didn't object openly, she often competed with Minghui in private. However, let's talk about what we have to say. In this case, I did bypass her and interfere in her son's marriage... I understand that your wife feels uncomfortable! But look at this couple..." She pointed at Qi Xiao and his wife who had just left, "How well they live! So even if your wife blames me, I accept it! I didn't plan to interfere in the marriage of Silang and Wulang. As a result... your father and third brother were not at home, and you and Dalang were sleeping outside. Erlang often had to go out. This family is full of old and young, women and children. At this time, Cui insisted on taking Silang and Wulang back home to repair the graves and houses, and she even used your mother's name..."

Tan's expression rarely looked grim.

"Your biological mother is the best woman I respect the most in my life! If she hadn't told me many times before she died that she was afraid that your father would suffer if he married a stepmother, and she had to entrust you to me, I would never have married your father... and let others talk about it!"

Qi Youyi said quickly, "Mother, don't think too much. Father has always respected you. Although I am not your biological child, you raised me up. You are not from a good family, and I understand the difficulties. It is Cui who is ignorant!"

Tan waved her hand, "Listen to me... Building a grave for your mother is a long-standing wish of mine. But at home, you go out and come back, and there are swords and guns on the battlefield. The letter came two days late, and I was worried about what might happen to you! I never felt at ease..." She patted her chest, "I swear, I have been looking for an opportunity!"

Qi Youyi quickly expressed his opinion: "Son really understands! It's my son who didn't arrange this matter well."

"I don't like what you said. How can I blame you? Your wife is good in every way! Except... the eldest brother! In the past few years, I always thought that I was wrong! I shouldn't have let Xiuyun follow you!"

"Mother!" Qi Youyi suddenly became excited.

Qi Youyi interrupted hastily, "Mother! Xiuyun and I grew up together! She is gentle and considerate, beautiful, and my son has admired her for a long time. If it weren't for the Queen's decree... I would definitely marry Xiuyun! I don't care about family background! All my achievements are earned by myself! I don't need a wife's family to add to my family!"

He was excited and determined.

Tan looked at him for a long while and sighed, "Alas, I just saw that you and Xiuyun were in love and had been inseparable since childhood. Xiuyun was even more... At the beginning, I really didn't have a good solution. If she hadn't stayed with you, with her temper... I guess she wouldn't have lived long."

Qi Youyi felt very distressed after hearing this! "Mother, these years, my life has been more meaningful because of Xiuyun. From the beginning to the end, I have wronged her. I have also wronged you..."

Tan nodded: "I feel relieved when you said that." She looked colder than usual: "To tell you the truth, if you don't blame me, I'm not afraid! As for Cui, I respect my daughter-in-law. No matter what, I can't surpass you and Xiuyun! My selfish thoughts: only you two are my favorites!"

"My son is already grateful, how can I complain?"

After talking about it, the mother is loving and the son is filial, and the family is happy.

Qi Youyi said calmly, "Even though Cui has already arranged marriages for the fourth and fifth children, if I, as a father, don't recognize them, she has to give them up!" After saying this, there was a hint of cruelty on his face.

Tan actually nodded, "That's right! Cui is just too strong-willed, and sometimes she's just fighting for her dignity. She gets mad at me on weekdays, but I'm not intolerant. But the Wen family is about to arrive in the capital, what kind of family is this? How can they be a match for our Wu Lang?"

And Si Lang! After he left, Aunt Liu walked around in the house and yard in circles, looking anxious... Oh! Forget it, don't think about it anymore! Anyway, they have to live their own lives!"

"Don't worry, mother! I'll talk to Cui first and then reason with her!" Qi Youyi said with a gloomy face.

"Okay, you must be tired after coming back, go back and rest! Xiuyun knows you are coming back, oh, she is so restless!" Tan smiled again.

Qi Youyi's face also showed a hint of tenderness. "Okay, then son, go back and see her first!"

After he went out, Tan smiled coldly.

Wen family, I hope it will be successful! Otherwise, with Wu Lang's talent, even if it is the Shangzhu, the emperor must bring out a decent princess!

Although he rarely shows up, everyone I have seen asks me about him! If I catch any of them, they are better than the Wen family, right? It's not God who is helping me, it's the Cui family who is helping me!

Now let’s see what this is!

No matter what it is, if you want to fight me, you’re far from it!

What a pity! Tan's face showed regret: the last plan did not work out! Otherwise, with Cui's temper, she would not be able to survive! Maybe Xiuyun would really be promoted! ...
