Gu Qinlan stared at Jiang Boyi in front of her. He was still dressed in bright clothes and in high spirits, and her heart was filled with endless emotion.

She felt deeply grateful that fate gave her a chance to be reborn.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan's eyes sparkled with a smile. She gently pulled the corner of Jiang Boyi's clothes and explained gently:

"Cousin, please calm down. I made a mistake and I sincerely apologize to you."

"Hmm!" Jiang Boyi crossed his arms, snorted contemptuously, pursed his lips, and remained silent. He just glanced at Gu Qinlan with a slanted look, his face showing arrogance and indomitable spirit.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help showing a bit of teasing when he saw this, but still said patiently:

"I understand your concern, cousin, but you should know when I have ever put myself in trouble."

"I voluntarily marry into Prince Duan's mansion. This is my choice from the bottom of my heart."

Jiang Boyi listened to Gu Qinlan's answer and knew that she had not hidden anything from him.

This woman may seem weak and helpless on the outside, but she is actually determined and has a clear mind.

Even if her stepmother put pressure on her, she would be able to deal with it cleverly and would never let herself fall into the trap of others.

Although he knew all this in his heart, Jiang Boyi still felt very unhappy when he saw his cousin marrying a widower with three children.

Even though he was the Prince of Duan, Jiang Boyi still felt that he was not worthy of Gu Qinlan.

However, Gu Qinlan claimed that it was voluntary, which made Jiang Boyi curious and asked:

"Volunteering? Are you attracted to that Zheng Dinglian?"

Gu Qinlan shook her head gently and explained helplessly: "No love or hate, just a little admiration in my heart."

After all, she had never met Zheng Dinglian, so how could she easily judge whether he liked her or not? She just thought that they were a good match.

Besides, how many daughters of aristocratic families can choose their own marriage?

After hearing this, Jiang Boyi felt a little relieved and said:

"I know you are determined. Even if we put aside the fact that Prince Duan already has three sons, war is ruthless. Who can predict when you might become a widow?"

"Well, since you haven't spent your wedding night together yet, I will take care of it right away. I will have Prince Duan write a letter of divorce for you, and you will return to your maternal home with me!"

"Whether you prefer a gentle and modest gentleman or a strong and brave man, I will find one for you! If it really doesn't work, even if you need to keep a lover, I will take responsibility for you as your brother! I will never let anyone blame you!"

Although Gu Qinlan had long been accustomed to Jiang Boyi's unique and even somewhat unorthodox way of thinking...

Gu Qinlan felt a warm current in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a little amused. She looked at Jiang Boyi coquettishly:

"Cousin, aren't you afraid that your aunt will skin you alive if she hears your instigation?"

Hearing this, Jiang Boyi thought of his hot-tempered mother and shuddered involuntarily, saying jokingly:

"Are you trying to file a complaint?"

"Then you just said you would take the responsibility for me? Isn't the first hurdle my aunt?"

Gu Qinlan's gaze lingered on Jiang Boyi's extremely depressed face for a moment, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up into a playful smile, her tone gentle but with unquestionable firmness:

"Well, my cousin, you don't have to say that anymore. Things have come to this point and I have no intention of changing them."

"Moreover, my life in Prince Duan's mansion is quite comfortable. There are few people in the mansion. Prince Duan has passed away. There is no one else in the mansion except the elder Princess Duan. She is friendly and amiable."

"As for these three children, they are smart and very obedient. It is well known that my cousin has been talented since he was young, but my three children are no less talented than you."

Hearing this, Jiang Boyi could not help but glanced suspiciously at Zheng Huiyi who was still crying in the room, and the brothers Zheng Fenghui and Zheng Fengyun who were humbly and smilingly trying to comfort her, and curled his lips in contempt:

"Are you kidding me?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and responded: "Doesn't my cousin always say 'hearing is false, seeing is believing'? If you don't believe it, why not try it yourself?"

Jiang Boyi knew that Gu Qinlan was using provocation, but his curiosity about these three children had already been aroused.

So, Jiang Boyi turned his eyes and said to Gu Qinlan: "Okay, I'll give it a try. But I want to make it clear in advance that no matter what I do, you can't feel bad."

"My cousin has always been steady and he always does things for the good of the children. I will naturally not interfere."

Although Gu Qinlan answered like this, she already knew in her heart that Jiang Boyi had already agreed.

Jiang Boyi raised the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art in his hand, took a look at it, then put it in his arms and warned:

"Let me be frank with you. If these children cannot meet my requirements, I will not accept them. Moreover, I will not return this book."

"I understand..." Gu Qinlan agreed with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Boyi nodded with satisfaction, put his hands behind his back, and walked into Lilun Courtyard.

Looking at Jiang Boyi's back, Xiang Zhu said to Gu Qinlan with some worry:

"Miss, do you think that the young master will deliberately make things difficult for the two young masters and young lady?"

Gu Qinlan chuckled and shook her head, "You underestimate Jiang Boyi."

What kind of person is Jiang Boyi?

Become famous at a young age!

He could recite poems at the age of three, paint at the age of five, and visit all the great scholars of the time and debate with them at the age of ten, and he never lost.

At the age of eighteen, he felt that he had no rivals in the world, so he took the imperial examination and became the number one scholar!

Because of his talent, the emperor wanted to make an exception and appoint him as a cabinet minister, but Jiang Boyi flatly refused to get involved in officialdom.

Everyone was certain that Jiang Boyi had offended the emperor and would surely die!

However, to everyone's surprise, Jiang Boyi actually took out a memorial and handed it to the emperor!

After the emperor examined him, his expression changed drastically. Although he was reluctant, he did not make things difficult for Jiang Boyi and let him leave safely.

Although no one knew what secret Jiang Boyi presented to the emperor, half a year later, a design drawing marked "water wheel" was mysteriously distributed to various places.

From then on, irrigating fertile fields became extremely convenient, crop yields increased significantly, and the people's gratitude and respect for the emperor deepened.

Everyone speculated that the waterwheel blueprint was the gift that Jiang Boyi presented to the emperor, but Gu Qinlan knew in her heart that what Jiang Boyi presented was not only the design of the waterwheel, but also the people's hearts that could be united by using the waterwheel.

There is no emperor who does not desire to gain the trust and respect of his people.

Such a great cause that would benefit the present and future generations would naturally touch the emperor's heart.

When a person's wisdom has reached the pinnacle of thought, he can no longer be hypocritical or artificial.

Jiang Boyi put his hands behind his back and walked to the three children. Then he brushed his gown and sat down in a leisurely manner.

He supported his chin with one hand and stroked the table with the other hand, his slender fingertips tapping lightly on the table top. His eyes sparkled, revealing an otherworldly and suave manner.
