When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Mingxi arrived at the door of Xu Guanghai's study.

Knock on the door gently.

Xu Guanghai's voice came from inside: "Come in!"

After getting Xu Guanghai's consent, Xu Mingxi pushed the door open and walked in.

The two of them discussed for a long time inside.

When he opened the door again, Xu Guanghai's face was full of smiles, looking relaxed.

She patted Xu Mingxi's shoulder and nodded at her appreciatively.

"Xi'er is worthy of being my, Xu Guanghai's, daughter.

You are as good as I was back then! If you were a man, you would definitely be a good helper to relieve your father’s worries.”

Xu Mingxi covered his lips with his sleeves and smiled:

"Father, you are too kind. However, as a girl, Xi'er can also help you share your worries."

Xu Guanghai was very satisfied with the method Xu Mingxi proposed.

Without even waiting until the next day to announce it, all the masters of the Xu family except Yang were gathered together that afternoon to announce the decision.

Aunt Rong and Aunt Lin have already heard about today's events from their respective servants.

It would be a lie to say that I have never felt gloating over other people's misfortunes.

I don't know how he mocked Yang in private.

Xu Baiyu was also very happy when he heard this.

Happy from the bottom of my heart.

She felt that with what happened to Yang, Xu Mingxi's good days were about to come to an end.

Soon, she will become a useless chess piece.

Useless pieces will soon be discarded.

Since the mistress is gone, who will be the successor mistress?

The answer is obvious.

Xu Guanghai urgently needs a daughter who is beautiful, capable and can bring him glory.

In terms of appearance and age, she is the best choice.

As I was thinking about it, I looked up unconsciously.

I was surprised to find that there was no trace of Yang!

Could it be that it was really as she expected?

Xu Baiyu leaned slightly towards Aunt Rong beside him.

In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "Aunt, I think it's time for you to turn things around."

Aunt Rong was surprised, not knowing why Xu Baiyu would say that: "Xing'er, what do you mean?"

"I have a bold guess. Auntie, please wait a moment until Daddy comes. We will know if it is as I expected."

Aunt Rong didn't understand and just nodded slightly.

Soon, Xu Guanghai helped the old lady into the front hall.

The old lady didn't know what happened yet. She was just wondering what important matter was that required the whole family to be summoned today.

Can't even wait until tomorrow?

Seeing that everyone was present, Xu Guanghai decided not to keep anyone in suspense.

“It is beyond the capacity of the first lady to take care of the household chores alone.

Therefore, I plan to promote a concubine as the second wife to manage the Xu Mansion together with the first wife."

"Second Madam!?" The first one to speak was the old lady.

"Old man, why didn't you tell me before? This is such a big deal! Will Yang agree to it?"

"Don't worry, mother. This is exactly what I agreed with her."

The old lady was even more incredible.

Yang actually agreed? That old jealous person actually agreed!

When Aunt Rong and Aunt Lin were first accepted, she cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself, then packed up her bags and went back to her parents' home.

I don’t know how long Xu Guanghai took to coax him into silence.

Now that she has been appointed as the second wife, she is almost a co-wife, but she actually...

After looking around, he didn't see Yang.

I think she was still reluctant, and I don’t know what method Xu Guanghai used to persuade her to agree.

In this case, the old lady did not say much, just wait and see.

Xu Guanghai cleared his throat again: "As you all know, some time ago, an unfilial son appeared in the Xu family.

He ran away with a fortune.

Now he has been expelled from the tribe.

But it still caused considerable losses to the Xu family.

If anyone can solve this problem, the title of Second Madam will be hers."

Except Xu Mingxi.

Everyone was lost in thought.

In fact, the protagonists are Aunt Rong and Aunt Lin.

Aunt Lin’s family is not as good as Aunt Rong’s.

Although Aunt Rong's family had fallen into decline, they were still considered respectable.

She is the daughter of a concubine of the Earl's Mansion.

In Kyoto, earl's palace is not that uncommon.

It is not uncommon to see a declining earl's palace.

Although the Earl's Mansion sounds quite prestigious, it has been inherited for three generations.

But his father's generation was the last to inherit the throne.

His father was just a fifth-rank official in the imperial court.

Unfortunately, the eldest son is mediocre and incompetent.

If you can't write, you can't do martial arts.

He doesn't even hold any official position.

It is also difficult for a lady from a prominent family to be interested in him.

Aunt Rong's mother was also an aunt, who was promoted from a maidservant.

Her mother is not the only one like her in the Earl's Palace.

There are also many concubines in the backyard.

That's why his father tried so hard to marry his daughters to various officials.

Some were mistresses, while others were concubines.

They all have the same purpose, to find another way out by relying on the husband's family connections.

Treat them as stepping stones and springboards.

In recent years, her family has seen her as a declining power and she is no longer favored by Xu Guanghai.

As he had no son to support him, he felt that there was little hope, so he focused his energy on his other daughters.

Even her half-brother, who used to get along well with her when they were young, has come to visit her less often in recent years.

Aunt Rong also felt that this was an opportunity!

She could contact her parents.

Regain the attention and support of her parents' family.

If she became the second wife in the Shangshu Mansion, it would be equivalent to being half a mistress who holds real power.

The half-mistress of the Shangshu Mansion enjoyed a much more glorious life than the mistresses of other third or fourth rank minor officials.

She will definitely be valued by her parents.

Aunt Rong's hands were shaking with excitement.

It seemed as if even Xu Guanghai's gaze lingered on her a little longer.

Does he think so too?

Yang looked at Xu Baiyu again, her eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Xu Baiyu knew what she was thinking and silently clenched her hand.

He whispered, "Auntie, calm down. Auntie Lin is not worthy of competing with you, and she can't win against you.

This needs careful planning.”

Aunt Rong nodded and took a few deep breaths.

But she felt that she should still express her stance and let Xu Guanghai know her attitude.

So she said, "Master, my maiden family is the Earl's Mansion. Maybe they can help me a little."

As he spoke, he glanced at Aunt Lin with contempt.

"Tsk, what's so great about the Earl's Mansion?"

Xu Ruoyu muttered. Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly piercing in the front hall where it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"The Earl's Mansion is nothing special, but it's better than my mother's family being worse than the Earl's Mansion."

Xu Baiyu retorted.

It is well known that they have never gotten along.

Xu Qingyun pressed Xu Ruoyu's hand and signaled with his eyes that she should not be impulsive.

The two sisters have always been good friends. They knew she had good intentions, but they also knew they were in the wrong. They could only keep silent.

This is exactly what Xu Guanghai wanted to hear from Aunt Rong.

Meeting Aunt Rong's expectant gaze, he smiled and said, "Rong'er is interested, so I'll wait and see."

The little deer in Aunt Rong's heart was beating wildly again.

It has been many years since he last called her "Rong'er".

This voice made me feel like I was back in my twenties, when I first met him and was moved by his handsome smile.

She hadn't experienced this long-lost feeling of young girlhood for a long time.

She nodded shyly: "Master, rest assured, I will do my best."

Xu Guanghai nodded and then stopped looking at her.

Xu Mingxi, who was standing by, had a clear view of the interaction between the two.

He gently covered the corners of his sneering mouth with a handkerchief.

Look, how fragrant this bait is.

The fish is hooked.
