When the prince has the ability to read minds, he switches to the princess

"Fang Xirou."

Turning around, Xi Rou found Wen Chengxiu behind.

"Fang Xirou, you are very good." He did not believe that all this was a coincidence. Every step of the way was part of her plan. "From the beginning to the end, you never thought about marrying me."

Xirou nodded slightly and said, "Wen Chengxiu, to me, you are not a good person."

"You haven't tried it, why do you think I'm not?"

Hum, I tried it.

"Wen Chengxiu, I really don't understand. After all this, you are still deceiving yourself."

Fang Xirou sneered in her heart, "You're not. I guess you don't want to cancel the Xi family's marriage, not because the Xi family was your mentor, but because the Xi family promised to protect you from the wind and rain. Look, I Know more about…men than you think.”

Wen Chengxiu was indifferent. He really had nowhere to hide in front of her.

People like this make no one dare to be enemies with them.

"Brother Six, we will be a family in the future. Please take care of me in the future."

"Since you call me Sixth Brother, if you need anything in the future, just ask."

After leaving the Wen family and returning to the Fang family, Lei did not let her go back to her courtyard, but took her directly to the main courtyard.

Of course, she was still standing in the yard waiting, while Lei was changing clothes inside.

Xirou lowered her head and thought to herself, "Lei's still not a good boy."

After waiting outside for a while, Lei asked someone to invite her in.

Mr. Lei was sitting on the main seat, drinking steaming tea. Nanny Qin spoke first: "Miss, our wife has something happy to tell you."

"Our wife has arranged a marriage for you again. He is our nephew. His name is Lei Musheng. You met him when you were children."

Lei Musheng? Xirou thought carefully about this person. He was the concubine of the second wife of the Lei family. He was weak and about to die.

Although the man's death is a good thing for her, the Lei family is not a good place to go.

If he died, he would not be able to survive.

Lei Shi, these days, you still haven't learned your lesson.

They started plotting against me again.

"Mother's nephew is naturally good, but does father know about this?"

Lei Shi hummed.

"Fang Xirou, I underestimated you before, and I actually let you take advantage of the opportunity to flatter Mrs. Hou."

Xirou shook her head.

"Mother, when you and Mrs. Hou set me up, you didn't expect the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind. The final winner was Wen Chengxiu. It seems that my mother was useless. Instead of taking advantage of Mrs. Hou, she made a wedding dress for someone else."

"You...you really have strong wings, and you are so tough when you speak."

"What my daughter said is true." Xirou added, "But mother, it's better not to marry me into the Lei family."

"What? You dare to dislike the Lei family? Humph, you really don't know what to say. Do our ancestors of the Lei family have merits worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple? My eldest brother is a general guarding the frontier, and the second brother is a Hanlin scholar... You really Such a loud tone, you actually dare to despise me, do you still want to marry a relative of the emperor?"

Xirou shook her head.

"Mother, haven't you noticed? His Highness Ninth Prince has also been inspecting the Fang family recently."

One sentence silenced Lei Shi.

"His Royal Highness Ninth has appeared in front of my sister more and more recently, but there has been no good news for a long time. Why do you think it is?"

“…”

"My mother and Mrs. Hou plotted against me, do you think he knew or didn't?"

Lei said: "When the royal family chooses a bride, the choice is based on status. My Lei family has a prominent family background, and your father is a third-rank official. Your...sister is naturally their best choice."

"Mother, the royal family does not value family background when choosing a bride, but character. After all, no one's family background is as high as the royal family."

Lei Shi narrowed his eyes and said:

"Do you think something is wrong with Lei Musheng?"

"I don't dare. If my mother thinks he is good, she can discuss the marriage with my father. Marriage is a major matter, and the parents order the matchmaker."

One sentence actually blocked Lei Shi.

Mr. Lei knew in his heart that his nephew's body was not healthy and the imperial doctor said he would not live long.

If he marries her, he will only die. Of course, it has nothing to do with him whether she dies or not. It is best to die as soon as possible.

But when the royal family found out, she married Fang Xirou to a dying man, but instead sought the royal family for her biological daughter. This... her affair with Wen Chengxiu had already caused a stir.

Seeing that her master was in a depressed mood, Nanny Qin said, "Miss, my wife will naturally discuss your marriage with the master. You should go back first."

"Yes."

After Xirou left, Lei couldn't help crying.

"Mother Qin, you said this, why did it end up like this?"

"Madam, we all blame the Wen family for having too many conspiracies and tricks, and they actually plotted against us." Nanny Qin said again. "But we have to be careful about what the eldest lady said today. How about we send someone to find out?"

Lei Shi nodded quickly.

Lei Shi asked her sister-in-law to go to the palace to inquire, but her sister-in-law sent someone to tell her not to go too far.

The palace already knew about this.

Lei Shi was extremely flustered.

I couldn't make up my mind for the moment.

Nanny Qin could only comfort her: "Let's find a good husband for the eldest daughter. It will be hard for people to find fault."

Lei Shi secretly hated it, but it had to be done.

Immediately afterwards, Xirou was arranged to meet by the Lei family. This time, the people selected were all promising young people in the court.

It's just that every time someone else is interested, one day later, they can't shirk it.

Lei was suspicious and asked someone to find out, but found out whose family they were meeting, and Wen Chengxiu took the lead in inviting them to drink.

Wen Chengxiu? Absolutely abominable.

While Xirou was in the house, he received notes for several days. Someone sent him a message, saying that the person he was looking at either had a foreign wife or was dishonest.

Xirou looked at the note thoughtfully.

Then he wrote a sentence: "Don't mind your own business." But then he thought about it and broke it off. He could just make a fuss, at least let Lei know that someone was watching her from behind, so that she wouldn't dare to be presumptuous.

Today, Xirou was sitting at home making hair accessories when she saw Dongzi next to her father calling her and asking her to go to the study.

Xirou wanted to ask what it was, but Dongzi just shook his head, he didn't recognize it.

"The master looks very happy."

Xirou didn't ask again, but followed to the study room in front.

Outside the archway outside the study, stood a young man, wrapped in brocade clothes and with a familiar figure.

Xirou stepped forward and the man turned around.

"cousin?"

Xilin took a few steps back and smiled like a spring breeze.

"cousin."

The grudges between the Xi family and the Fang family are clear to Xi Rou.

Come over now?

"But grandpa is inside?"

"Yes."

"You are in trouble."

Xilin shook his head, not wanting her to worry, so he said truthfully: "Let's propose marriage."

Propose marriage?

Who?

Xirou quickly understood.

"My cousin wants to marry me?"

Xilin nodded.

Xirou took a long breath and asked, "Why would my cousin marry me? Will he go home to support me?"

"Cousin is unhappy?"

"Cousin, do you pity me?"

"..."

"Cousin, you don't have to be like this. I'm living a good life now, and no one can bully me, so you don't have to sacrifice yourself. And..." Thinking of her cousin's future, Xi Rou said with a smile,

"Cousin, your marriage has not come yet. My future cousin-in-law will be a powerful character."

"you....."

Xi Rou looked at the study. The door of the study was wide open. The two people inside seemed to be in harmony, but she knew that her grandfather had lowered his attitude.

Xirou couldn't bear it.
