After straightening his clothes, he glared at Chen and said, "What are you crazy about! When did I ever say I wanted to make her my woman? Even if we are not related by blood, the child is still my niece in name only!"
Although he did think so, he suppressed the thought in his heart because he thought that he would be criticized if he did so.
Chen actually believed him and asked, "If that's not what you think, then what do you think?"
Duan Ming whispered, "I was just thinking, if she really has no blood relationship with our Cai'er, it would be better to let Cai'er marry her. Besides, she is now a princess and has so many imperial gifts. Wouldn't it be better for Cai'er to marry her than to marry another daughter?"
Chen's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said excitedly, "Why didn't I think of this!"
Duan Ming became more and more proud and said, "If he marries her, our Cai'er will be a Duke, and a Duke of the First Rank. Isn't that much better than relying on his status as the eldest brother to marry a rich lady?"
Chen nodded, very satisfied with Duan Ming's idea, and said, "Besides, Cai'er has always liked that damn girl Duan Qingxi. This can be regarded as helping Cai'er. I'm sure he is also very willing."
"So, we have to plan this matter carefully. Now we have to find a way to make the Fifth Prince break off the engagement with her..."
The two of them were discussing very enthusiastically, as if as long as they wanted, Duan Qingxi would definitely marry Duan Youcai.
And the other side.
"Bah! What a shameless couple! How dare they think that!!"
Qiao Yun was so angry that the girl who had always been well-behaved was so angry that she started swearing and kicked the stool. She wanted to tear the stool apart as if it were Duan Ming and his wife!
Chan Xue was also furious. "This is too shameless! The young lady is of such noble status, and yet these people...they dare to covet her!"
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er looked at each other and remained silent.
On the contrary, Duan Qingxi was particularly calm, turning the cup in his hand, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that she didn't move at all, Qiao Yun frowned and said, "Miss, you're not going to let this go, are you? These people actually dared to plot against you like this, don't you plan to retaliate?"
Duan Qingxi looked at Qiao Yun. After a while, she stopped spinning the cup and asked, "I'm just a little curious. There seem to be a lot of rumors saying that I'm not my father's biological daughter. Where did these rumors come from?"
When I first crossed over, Xiaodai also said that the original owner was most likely not Duan Hong’s biological daughter, but the child born from the second wife’s affair with an outsider.
But because so many things had happened, and Duan Hong and Duan Sijin were indeed very nice to her, and she had never seen the portraits of the first and second ladies, she had never paid attention to this matter.
Now, she had to care.
In modern times, her father was deeply in love with her mother. Even when Duan Shishi came with her biological mother, Duan Hong hardly even looked at her.
In this life, if the eldest lady was her biological mother in her previous life, then why did Duan Shishi become the eldest lady's daughter?
Duan Qingxi felt that this relationship was a little confusing, and even felt that he had overlooked something.
Qiao Yun was stunned by her question, and then she stammered and didn't dare to speak.
Seeing her like that, Duan Qingxi had no choice but to turn his attention to Xuan Yi and Xuan Er.
