I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

After arriving at the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion, Dieyi went to Haitang Courtyard to pay respects to her brother and sister-in-law. Unfortunately, her brother and sister-in-law were out with Fu Yuzheng and his wife.

Dieyi went to Fu Linghao's yard to look for Cui Jiaojiao.

At that time, Cui Jiaojiao was sitting at the stone table in the yard checking the accounts. She was flipping through the account book with her left hand and dialing the abacus with her right hand, looking very capable.

"Jiaojiao."

Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice calling from not far away. When Cui Jiaojiao looked up, she saw Dieyi in a light purple dress. Cui Jiaojiao, who was very hospitable, immediately dropped what she was doing and ran towards her excitedly.

"Dieyi, you're here at last!"

"When I brought Shu'er home yesterday, I knew you would come along too! How can it be more comfortable to live with that old woman in the Mu Mansion than with us?"

"...I have cleaned the room for you in advance. You can still stay in the one you used to stay in..."

Cui Jiaojiao hugged Dieyi and started chattering excitedly.

This enthusiasm gave Dieyi the illusion that this place was not only her sister-in-law's home, but also her own home.

The feeling was so intimate that it could not be compared to any ordinary mansion.

The two of them sat at the stone table and chatted for about a quarter of an hour. Dieyi saw that Cui Jiaojiao was very busy as the wife of the prince, so she didn't intend to disturb her any more. She wanted to stroll around the garden for a while and...

Sneak into the third room to find uncle!

As a result, Cui Jiaojiao was so enthusiastic that she kept chatting with her for the entire morning and even ignored the accounts she was supposed to manage.

Well, that’s how it happened. As a result, Dieyi didn’t get to see his uncle for the entire morning!

At lunch time, Dieyi was a distinguished guest, so Cui Jiaojiao took her directly to the upper room to eat with her parents-in-law. At this time, Fu Linghao also came back from outside.

"Hey, are Shu'er and Zheng'er, both couples, out?" Fu Linghao noticed at a glance that the four of them were not there, so he casually asked his wife after sitting down.

Cui Jiaojiao pouted and complained to her husband: "Shu'er and Zheng'er are too much. They don't even take me with them when they go out to play! Humph——"

Fu Linghao: ...

Well, my little wife’s playfulness is coming back again.

At this time, Cui Jiaojiao continued, "Luckily Dieyi is here, and I have a playmate again. Otherwise, I would have been bored to death this morning."

This sentence sounded fine at first, but who is Fu Linghao? He was the top scorer in the last year's imperial examination. After thinking for a while, he immediately realized a problem.

——Dieyi has always been tied to his wife. Doesn’t he have time to date his uncle?

At this moment, the concierge from the main house came and said to Fu Xiaotian and Tao Ying with a smile: "My Lord, Madam, the Third Master is here."

When Dieyi heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up immediately, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Fu Xiaotian and Tao Ying were quite surprised.

You know, on weekdays when I have a day off, my third brother is also in the house, but he has never come uninvited like today... at mealtime.

When the couple was looking puzzled, the Third Master Fu Xiaozhen had already entered everyone's sight carrying a bottle of good wine.

Fu Xiaozhen glanced around the dining room. Strangely enough, there were people all over the room, but only Dieyi in a purple dress caught his eye.

It really proves the saying that no matter how crowded the crowd is, you can always be seen at a glance.

The moment that purple figure came into his sight, Fu Xiaozhen's whole face radiated.

More and more high-spirited.

It's windy when you walk.

Anyone who sees him will praise him and say, "This young man looks so energetic and full of spirit!"

At this moment, Fu Xiaotian's eyes quickly passed Dieyi and fell on the face of his elder brother Fu Xiaotian, and he smiled proudly:

"Brother, I heard that a distinguished guest has arrived at your house, so I specially opened a pot of daughter's red wine that has been buried underground for seven or eight years. Let's taste it together."

Fu Xiaotian was stunned by Fu Xiaozhen's behavior.

When did his third brother become a different person, no longer the taciturn guy who would hide in the third room and would not come out easily?

Even when their eldest wife had a distinguished guest, his third brother came specially to keep them company?

However, as the eldest brother, Fu Xiaotian was of course very happy that his third brother had changed so much.

He quickly stood up and took the girl's red wine from his third brother's hand with great courtesy.

At this time, Tao Ying, as the eldest sister-in-law, hurriedly asked the maid to bring a bottle opener, and she opened the wine jug of her third brother herself.

Afterwards, Tao Ying held the wine jug and was about to pour wine for her husband and third brother...

Fu Xiaozhen snatched it away and said with a hearty smile: "Sister-in-law, just sit down and drink. I will be responsible for pouring the wine today."

After saying that, he didn't give Tao Ying a chance to refuse and directly filled up his brother and sister-in-law's cups.

Seeing this, Tao Ying always felt that something was wrong. How could the third brother bring wine to the house and let him pour the wine himself? It seemed that she, as the eldest sister-in-law, was too incompetent and too inhospitable.

When Tao Ying was thinking, she saw her third brother coming to Dieyi...

Dieyi raised the wine cup generously, winked at Fu Xiaozhen, and said with a smile:

"Uncle San, thank you very much, but I won't let you pour too much, nor will I let you pour just a little. Guess how much I want?"

Tsk, this playful spirit immediately caught Tao Ying's attention.

His eyes instantly jumped back and forth between Dieyi and his third brother.

Fu Xiaozhen's ears instantly turned red at Dieyi's naughty words, but his brain was still working at high speed and he spoke very logically:

"Well...well...as long as it's not too full, and not too little, it's fine if it's somewhere in between. So, there are thousands of answers."

"You're wrong." Dieyi raised his chin and smiled, "Uncle San, you should say in a domineering way, 'You must like everything I pour!'"

Hearing this, Fu Xiaozhen immediately pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes full of light.

Seeing this, Tao Ying, as a sensitive woman, has nothing to understand? So, the third brother and Dieyi... are in love?

But Dieyi is her eldest son-in-law’s sister?

This relationship... is really messy.

Fu Xiaotian is also an experienced person. The interaction between Dieyi and his third brother is so obvious. If he still can't see that "the man has feelings and the woman is interested", he would be a blind man.

So, after lunch, Fu Xiaotian specially invited his third brother to the study to have a detailed discussion. When he learned that his third brother really loved Dieyi and wanted to marry Dieyi...

Fu Xiaotian nodded: "Okay, as your eldest brother, I haven't taken care of you much in my life, but your eldest sister-in-law and I can still take care of this marriage."

Since the stepmother is still alive, it is natural that she should be in charge of the marriage, but that stepmother... is not worthy of being a mother. Now she is locked up in a small dark room, dying, so the marriage will naturally not be handed over to her.

Fortunately, his wife Tao Ying, as the eldest sister-in-law and the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, was able to arrange the marriage.

Therefore, Fu Xiaotian patted his third brother on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law will definitely arrange your marriage with the princess."

But how to do it?

There are indeed difficulties here.

Because Dieyi's stepmother, the old lady, is still alive, and he and Tao Ying just gave the old lady a good scolding yesterday, let alone proposing marriage now, even if it's a year or two later...

The old lady will definitely make trouble and won't agree!

Well, it's a tricky one.
