"Hanhan, are you just going to watch them get married?" Tongzi still wanted to awaken the host's motherly heart.

"What else can I do? At worst I can prepare a betrothal gift for him, which will be considered as my best effort."

"Besides, Bai Liang has to observe mourning for three years. During these three years, all descendants of the Xie family can forget about holding wedding ceremonies, let alone getting married."

The system thought about it and it made sense. But who could say for sure what would happen three years later?

Yun Zhihan was too lazy to care about these things. What she was thinking about now was the eldest princess' birthday party. That Zhao Hui was a big trouble. Although she was not scheming, she was very vicious.

……

When Bai Liang heard that his grandmother had passed away, he hurried back.

He was really exhausted these days. First there was his father's funeral, and now there was his grandmother's funeral.

But Yuan did not give him any time to buffer. As soon as her son entered the room, she started crying.

"Son, you're back!"

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's that Yun Zhihan. She gets all the good things, and all the bad things that happen to our family are bad things."

Bai Liang couldn't understand what his mother was doing.

"Mom, if it weren't for Aunt, the Xie family would have been finished long ago. Why don't you understand?"

Seeing her son's elbows being turned outward, Yuan was very upset and asked her son, "Whose mother are you? If I am bullied, do you care?"

"Care! I didn't say I don't care." Bai Liang had no choice. He only had this one mother, so he could only endure it.

"Okay, now I have something to tell you, and you must promise me."

"Yes." He nodded. "No matter what, your son will agree to it."

Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, took out the exchanged engagement letter, and said with a smile, "Son, mother thinks Miss Song Lian is a good girl, mother has exchanged engagement letters with her, and after the mourning period is over, you two can get married."

"What?" Bai Liang looked at his mother in surprise. "Mom, do you know what you are saying? Who is Song Lian? Don't you know? Aren't you deliberately pushing your son into the fire pit?"

"Son, Song Lian's family is a merchant family. They will definitely help the Xie family a lot. It will definitely help your career in the future."

"Mom, didn't I tell you long ago? I don't like studying or practicing martial arts. I only like using an abacus."

"How dare you! How can a grown man not think about success and fame, but spend his days imitating a girl's housekeeping skills? How can you be so shameless?"

Bai Liang shook his head in despair. He would not marry Song Lian. "Mother, go and cancel the engagement. I won't marry you."

When Yuan heard this, she thought, how could this be possible? If she withdrew, she would have even less status in her son's heart.

"Liang'er, you are forcing me to die! You have already lost your father and grandmother, so now you don't want me anymore? Okay, I will grant your wish!"

As she said that, she rushed towards the wall. Fortunately, Bai Liang stopped her quickly, otherwise the Xie family would have had another funeral.

"Mom, what are you still doing?" He gave up. It turned out that everything was an illusion and he would never get what he wanted in his life.

"Son, I beg you to agree to this just once. Once the mourning period is over, I will marry Song Lian right away. How about that?"

The light in Bai Liang's eyes faded, and he just nodded in agreement.

Yuan didn't notice anything unusual about her son, she just felt that her plan had finally taken the first step. If she waited another three years, Yun Zhihan would no longer be a threat.

"Liang'er, since you agreed, let Miss Song Lian help you manage Yunsheng Restaurant and cultivate your relationship first."

Bai Liang thought he was deaf. Is this really something a mother should say?

"Mom, what are you thinking about? Yunsheng Restaurant belongs to my aunt, how can Song Lian go there to manage it?"

"Oh, silly son, why don't you just not tell her?"

Yuan had already made up her mind and asked Song Lian to use these three years to find a way to transfer Yunsheng Restaurant to her name.

"No! I absolutely do not agree to this."

Bai Liang didn't listen to her anymore, turned around and ran out.

Yuan did not chase him out. After all, he was her son and he would compromise sooner or later.

She was in a very good mood at the moment, and she wished the mourning period would be over immediately. She couldn't wait to deal with Yun Zhihan.

After Bai Liang came out, he went straight to his aunt's yard. Although he didn't know what he was doing, he still came to find Yun Zhihan.

"Auntie."

"Liang'er, are you back? You look very tired lately. Is it because you were too exhausted from handling your father's funeral?"

"It's okay. My father has already made arrangements. Aunt, don't worry."

Bai Liang tried many times but still couldn't speak. Yun Zhihan knew what was on his mind and took the initiative to ask, "Are you worried about your marriage with Miss Song Lian?"

"Aunt knows?" He was surprised. Wasn't this information too well-informed?

"I heard from the servants, and judging from your expression, it is true."

Bai Liang nodded.

"Then you agree?"

"Yeah." He had a blank expression on his face, obviously not doing it voluntarily.

But for Yun Zhihan, this was not something she needed to consider.

"Liang'er, once you and Song Lian are engaged, Yunsheng Restaurant..."

"Nephew understands." Bai Liang spoke first, "It's all up to Aunt."

Yun Zhihan sighed secretly in his heart, the child is a good one, but unfortunately he has an unreasonable mother.

"From today on, you don't have to go to Yunsheng Restaurant anymore. I will let Shuanghua take over first, and then find a new manager."

"Okay!" Bai Liang had no complaints. He also understood that Song Lian's purpose was not pure, but fortunately, he still had three years of buffer.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Yun Zhihan felt sorry. In order to protect the Yun family's property, she had no choice but to do so. But she had no prejudice against Bai Liang.

"Aunt, Liang'er heard that you know the owner of Dafu Blacksmith Shop. Can you introduce him to me?"

"You want to go for blacksmithing?" She couldn't understand. Maybe the child was stimulated by something?

"Well, my nephew has no future, so he just likes to do these miscellaneous skills. I hope my aunt can help me."

Song Lian wants to help, right? Very good, then go to the blacksmith shop and help him.

"Of course you can, but wouldn't that be too unfair to you?"

"No, everything is voluntary on my part."

Seeing that he was so determined, Yun Zhihan couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

……

Two days later, it was the day of the eldest princess' birthday banquet.

Xie Boyuan was so excited that he could not sleep the whole night. He got up at three quarters past three in the morning to practice martial arts, which was earlier than Tuoba Hong and Xie Bochen.

"Brother, are you up so early to practice martial arts?"

"Third brother, Uncle Hong."

"Isn't it too early, young master? Isn't the eldest princess' birthday banquet scheduled for noon?" Tuoba Hong was also very curious.

Xie Boyuan didn't know what to explain for a moment, and he snapped his fingers while trying to find an excuse, "Oh, I haven't practiced martial arts recently, so I got up and stretched my muscles first."

Bo Chen believed it and took the initiative to suggest, "Brother, how about we have a competition?"

"Ah?" He didn't have that in mind. He was only looking forward to meeting the princess. "No, that's not necessary. I can practice on my own. Third brother and Uncle Hong can go and do their work."
