As he said that, Xie Baijin took his handkerchief, covered his face and started crying.

Shang Peng was confused. He was just a hero saving a beautiful girl, so why was he treated as lazy? Besides, this woman was too inexperienced, wasn't she?

"Thank you, Miss!" Shang Peng pushed her away. "Don't worry, if anyone else accuses me, I will explain it clearly and will never let others criticize you."

After saying that, he turned and ran, fearing that he would be harassed again.

"Humph! Another weak one!"

Xie Baijin's plan failed. When she turned around, she saw Yun Zhihan and immediately lowered her head.

It seems that the mother must have witnessed everything. Never mind, she will just be scolded anyway, she is used to it.

Who made her mother favor boys over girls? She knew from a young age that she could only rely on herself in this life, and no one could stand in her way.

After a moment, she walked up to Yun Zhihan and said, "Mother, just now..."

"No need to explain."

After that, she took out a copy of "The Art of War" and handed it to her daughter.

"Here, mother tells you, catching a man is like fighting a war, you have to take every step carefully to seize the initiative."

Tongzi was upset, "Hanhan, that's the secret book I gave you for house fighting, not for you to hook up with a man for your daughter!"

"Oh, they're all pretty much the same. No need to be so picky."

system:……

Xie Baijin was shocked when he took the book given by his mother. If it were in the past, his mother would either slap him or curse at him, calling him a cheap bastard.

What happened today? My mother actually supported my idea?

"Mother..." In an instant, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Yun Zhihan patted her daughter's head and advised, "Study carefully. I believe you will gain something."

"Oh." Xie Baijin hasn't recovered yet.

The system was not happy after seeing this operation. "Hanhan, do you know what you are doing? How can you encourage your own daughter to be a green tea bitch?"

"What else? Since objection is futile, let's just let it go."

"No!" the system taught, "You should tell her seriously that this is not the behavior of a lady from a noble family!"

"I won't do this kind of thankless task!"

After saying that, Yun Zhihan continued walking towards his room.

Halfway through the journey, she met her maid Jinshang again.

"Madam, I have finally found you. The old lady has urged you several times to hurry over."

Yun Zhihan felt like crying but had no tears and could only follow the maid towards the banquet.

"Tongzi, why do you think I must host the banquet?"

System: "Because you are the mistress!"

"But I can't do this job."

"Hanhan, don't be sad. If someone bullies you later, I will tell him about it and make him feel ashamed."

"Oh? You have this function? How come I didn't know about it?"

The system explained proudly, "This is a derivative function of mine, Tongzi. However, Hanhan currently does not have enough points, so he can only eat the melons of those who have entered the Marquis' Mansion."

"That's enough."

Yun Zhihan suddenly became much more sober. If there were some melons to eat, the party might not be so boring.

"Jin Shang, prepare a plate of sunflower seeds and a pot of good tea for me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jin Shang was totally confused. There were plenty of delicacies from land and sea at the banquet, so why did his wife insist on eating melon seeds?

She shook her head silently, not daring to ask more questions. She didn't know when her wife's personality changed. She used to be second to none, but now she lies in bed from morning till night.

Except for meal times, she would get up on time and basically never leave the house at other times.

After a while, they arrived at the banquet.

When Mrs. Xie saw that she had finally arrived, she quickly stood up to greet her, "My virtuous daughter-in-law, you are finally here."

"Mother, I'm sorry to trouble you." Yun Zhihan forced a smile, but it still couldn't hide her impatient expression.

"I'll leave this to you. I'm not in good health."

After saying this, the old lady left with the help of the maid.

Yun Zhihan was no longer surprised by Madam Xie's behavior of taking advantage of her seniority.

When everyone saw Mrs. Xie coming, they came over to congratulate her.

The first person to come over was the wife of the Minister of Rites. "Madam Xie has taught her son well. Bai Yuan has won the title of Tanhua at the age of seventeen. He will definitely have a bright future."

"Mrs. Xu, you are too kind. My son is just very lucky. In terms of real talent and knowledge, he is still Mrs. Xu's son."

"Hahaha, thank you Madam for the compliment. If my boy could be half as outstanding as your son, I would be satisfied."

"Mrs. Xu is too modest. Your son is extremely talented. I wonder how many girls admire him as their ideal man."

"Hahaha!"

After a wave of business flattery, Yun Zhihan finally escaped the false greetings of these ladies.

But waiting for her ahead was her half-brother's first wife, Yuan.

"My sister-in-law is so lucky. Bai Yuan has made it onto the gold list today. He will surely bring honor to our family and revive the prosperity of the Marquisate in the future."

Lord Xie's half-brother is a mediocre person and is still just a gatekeeper at the city gate. However, he is conceited and thinks that the position of the head of the Xie family should be his.

Although this wish did not come true, he placed all his hopes on his son Xie Bailiang.

Unfortunately, Xie Bailiang was born dull. Not only did he have no talent in studying, he also had no advantage in martial arts.

The wives of other families all gave birth to daughters and were completely unable to compete with Xie Boyuan.

Because of this, Yuan was very jealous of Yun Zhihan. Why was Yun Zhihan so lucky? But her life was so miserable? Now that Xie Boyuan became the third place winner, her jealousy was known to everyone.

"Sister-in-law, just now, I heard a few ladies gossiping behind his back, saying that Bai Yuan was impotent. He's already seventeen, and he's not attracted to any girl."

"If you ask me, becoming the third place winner is a good thing, but it is also better to have children for the Xie family and continue the family line. Sister-in-law, do you think this makes sense?"

Yun Zhihan kept a smile on his face, but in his heart he looked down on her. "Tongzi, what's new with Xie Bailiang recently?"

Without further ado, the system immediately reported, "A month ago, Yuan proposed a marriage to Xie Bailiang, but was rejected by three wives in a row, saying that her son was a dull person and would definitely not achieve anything in the future."

"Yuan was so angry that she yelled at home, which angered her husband, and she was slapped hard. If you look closely, there are slap marks on her face."

When Yun Zhihan heard this, he covered his face and smiled, then took a closer look and found that it was true.

"Thank you for the reminder, sister-in-law. I will definitely remind Bo Yuan. However, I also want to give you a few words of advice."

"Please speak, sister-in-law." Yuan smiled proudly.

"Yuan'er is a top scholar, so he won't have to worry about marriage. But Bailiang is different. He has been different from other children since he was young."

"A while ago, I heard that my sister-in-law had been rejected for Liang'er's marriage proposal, which embarrassed my half-brother and also implicated my sister-in-law."
