As for Hua Bochen, I'm sorry, Han didn't even look at him.
Han is now doubting her own judgment. Why did she choose such a person for her daughter? You know, there were many choices at the time, and there were many who were better than Hua Bochen. But in the end, she still felt that her daughter's temperament was more suitable for a stable environment, and it would be better to lean on a big tree. Hua Bochen also had a big advantage in this regard. Now it seems that the choice that seemed okay at the time may not remain unchanged in the future.
So in the future, it is better to choose a person who is excellent, reliable and steady for my daughter. Such a person may be difficult for my daughter to control. Compared with Hua Bochen, he seems to be easier to control. What about when his brain is flooded? A smarter, more reliable and more steady person, at least when encountering a situation like Li Ruoshui, will not be easily dizzy.
It is not good for a woman to rely entirely on her husband. She can be easily led astray by him and fall into a passive position if she is not careful.
However, there is nothing perfect in the world. If you always worry about this and that, then it would be best not to get married in your life. But being alone in this life is not without risks.
Since this is the case, they might as well just choose someone who is good in character. They heard that he is still doing well, so their daughter won't be left alone and helpless.
"Now that the marriage and childbearing between our two families has been cancelled, seriously speaking, it actually doesn't matter anymore."
Obviously, this is what Prince Hua and his family least want to hear. They are a little anxious in their hearts, but they don't show it. Prince Hua smiled warmly, "Look at what you said, Madam. My father and mother still need the fourth young lady. If we really want to talk seriously, our family owes the fourth young lady. If you say so, the fourth young lady is at a disadvantage."
"Xuan'er is a kind-hearted doctor, but she is also soft-hearted. She cannot bear to see people suffering from illness. If we hadn't stopped her, she would have run outside every day without a moment's rest. However, no matter how good her temper is, she is not a saint after all. Xuan'er may have been away from home for many years, so she pays special attention to her family. She always hopes that each of us is well and happy. Sometimes, for us, she may do things against her will. Other things seem to be nothing to her.
You may not know that whether the child followed her adoptive father to travel around the country to practice medicine or to stay in the imperial city for a few years, she was never after money. She would give some money to those who came to seek medical treatment, and would give medicine for free to those who didn't. She had a heart that sympathized with the world. But it was not without reward. At least those who had received her kindness were willing to protect her, which enabled her to live a stable life when she was alone. "Han said gently.
These words are sincere and genuine, but there is a deeper meaning behind them.
Let alone the first half, even Hua Bochen had cold sweats on his back.
—If he really went too far, would Fourth Miss Wenren really ignore his parents’ illness for the sake of her sister
Before they could speak, Han laughed again, "Most people in Pingjin Marquis's Mansion are reasonable people, and our family is not the kind of unreasonable people. Xuan'er's temper comes and goes quickly. Even if our two families have no relationship, she will not take her anger out on those very few stupid people who refuse to listen to others."
Hua Bochen, who was one of the very few people who was stupid and refused to listen to others: "..." He lowered his head and blushed, not sure whether he was embarrassed or annoyed. However, he had been warned repeatedly before coming here, so even if he was pointed at and scolded, he could not show any reaction and had to endure it obediently.
Prince Hua and his wife even smiled and agreed with him. They were not wrong in calling their stupid brother (brother-in-law).
Han was also unhappy, but it wouldn't matter if he scolded her now, so she didn't hold it in. However, after all, they were a family, so Han couldn't say too much. She just vented a little and that was it.
"Although it's a pity that we can't become in-laws, I feel that I get along quite well with your mother. It would not be a bad idea for the two families to become relatives and friends in the future." Han believed that this was also the intention of the Pingjin Marquis' Mansion. It was almost done, so the ladder was passed up.
To be honest, the Pingjin Marquisate owed Xuan'er now. It would be a huge loss to sever the relationship so easily. It was not worth it for the sake of Hua Bochen.
Prince Hua and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But speaking of it, this kind of relationship is not so safe after all. These in-laws... wait, the Crown Prince's wife suddenly had an idea. These "in-laws" may not necessarily be in-laws. As far as she knows, in some places, adopting a godfather, godmother, godson, and goddaughter is also a kind of "in-law".
In the Qi Dynasty, the adoptive father and mother, to some extent, are the same as the biological elders. Sometimes, they can even interfere in the marriage of their adopted sons and daughters. It is normal for them to help buy betrothal gifts and dowries during the wedding.
If it's the Fourth Miss Wenren, no, there doesn't need to be the Fourth Miss Wenren, it can be the Seventh Miss Wenren, if they can't be a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they can be "mother and daughter". Except for some interests, compared with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the relationship between mother and daughter can be closer. After all, the daughter can act coquettishly with the mother, and can speak up when she wants something or is wronged, but how many daughters-in-law have you seen acting coquettishly and complaining to the mother-in-law
"Madam, you don't know, but mother-in-law really likes your seventh daughter. She wants to marry her early and love her like her own daughter. It's a pity," the wife of the prince glanced at her brother-in-law, "some bastards are blind and don't know how to cherish. These past two days, every time mother-in-law talked about it, three out of five sentences were lamenting that the evil creature lost her precious daughter, and mother-in-law had two sons. She always wanted a daughter but couldn't. I wanted to be that caring little cotton-padded jacket, but I was not to mother-in-law's liking, and it seemed that I was destined to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
I told my mother-in-law at the time that you and the Seventh Miss of the Wenren Family might not be destined to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Since you wish to have her as your daughter, then I will just let her be your daughter. It would be better to adopt the Seventh Miss as your adopted daughter and complete the mother-daughter relationship."
Han, who had been quietly listening to the words of the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin, was stunned when she heard this...
Prince Hua knew his wife well, and since she had personally disparaged his brother-in-law, he was afraid that there would be other words to come, so he naturally waited quietly. He did not expect to get such a big surprise. Yes, if his parents adopted Miss Wenren as their adopted daughter, then she would be a member of their family. It would be natural for not only his parents but also his brothers and sisters-in-law to support her, which would be even better than being their daughter-in-law.
If it really happened, his younger brother would become the elder brother, and if the elder brother made his younger sister suffer, then there would be no need for a reason to punish this "brother". Apart from other things, Hua Shizi felt distressed after beating his younger brother, but if it was because of his younger sister, he found that he really would not feel distressed at all. No matter how delicate the younger brother is, can he compare with his younger sister? Absolutely not.
In this way, it is natural to establish a relationship with the Wen family.
As for some of the problems... With the promise that Dad made to Fourth Miss Wenren, it's actually a completely different matter. With this relationship, it's even better to just make the promise clear.
Prince Hua wanted so much that he wanted to applaud his wife.
Han was also a little slow to come back to her senses, and looked at the wife of the Prince of Pingjin: No, you have already thought of this method
To be honest, the relationship between the adoptive father, adoptive mother, adoptive son and adoptive daughter is closer than in-laws to a certain extent. The adoptive father and adoptive mother will be regarded as the real elders, not only have the responsibility of educating, but sometimes they may even be implicated in the nine clans. But on the other hand, if the adoptive father and adoptive mother have an accident, the adopted son and adopted daughter will not be implicated. Therefore, in the high-ranking families, no one will easily adopt a son or daughter. Looking at the whole imperial city, let alone the upper circles, even ordinary small officials may not find a single example. Most of the time, it happens to ordinary people.
The wife of the Marquis of Pingjin kept smiling. "After hearing my idea, mother-in-law was overjoyed. She was going to come with us today. However, when it came time to leave, she was a little timid. So she asked me to ask you first, is there any room for consideration? Miss Seven is straightforward and likable, and really lovable. Would you like more people to love her legitimately?"
As a daughter-in-law, Wen Renying might have many faults, but as a daughter, she was rarely unfavored. Even if she stood in the position of the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin, she had to be tolerant when she was a sister-in-law because of Wen Renying's special status, but she must still be unhappy in her heart. However, if she were a younger sister, to be honest, she would really be willing to love and pamper her.
Han almost believed what the wife of the Marquis of Pingjin said.
Thinking carefully, this matter has more advantages than disadvantages for the Wen family. Their family is in a good momentum now, but they are really not prominent among the many royal relatives, various first- and second-rank officials, and noble families. If Ying'er becomes the adopted daughter of Marquis Pingjin, not to mention that their family status will be raised to a higher level, at least Ying'er's value will increase greatly.
It seems that Xuan'er is tied to Pingjin Marquis Mansion, but in fact, according to Xuan'er's temperament, it will be the same as it is, and this matter itself has little to do with her. On the contrary, it should be Pingjin Marquis Mansion that is tied to Ying'er. The relationship between the two parties is unequal. It's like, parents should give to their children, but children don't have to give to their parents.
"If it's because of Xuan'er, there's actually no need..."
"No, ma'am, this may be one of the factors, but please believe that this is definitely not all."
Han smiled, she didn't believe it.
Prince Hua spoke at the right time, "Madam, my father made a promise first, but it's just words. If we add another layer of relationship, if something really happens, the Pingjin Marquisate will be unable to break its promise even if it wants to, right?"
So, this is the real truth. It is hard to say what will happen in the future. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents? Compared with empty words, taking practical actions like a "contract" is the most reassuring. If you agree to it, you can guarantee Xuan'er what she deserves, and it will also be of great benefit to Ying'er. With this in mind, it seems that there is really no reason to refuse
"I will discuss this matter with my family, and you can go back and ask your mother to seriously 'consider it'."
This consideration, of course, is not only for the wife of Marquis Pingjin, but also for Marquis Pingjin.
However, the Prince of Pingjin Marquis knew very well that there was no need to think about it at all, as his parents would definitely agree. It seemed that their family was at a disadvantage, but in fact it was based on the premise that something big would really happen to the Wen family in the future. His father was a man of his words, and his words would absolutely count. Therefore, if something really happened to the Wen family, he would not stand idly by, so it didn't matter.
But the Fourth Miss Wenren is different to their family. She is really a lifesaver. Even if his parents' health has recovered, who can guarantee that there will not be other difficult diseases in the future? The initiative is completely in the hands of the other party. She can let go if she wants to, and they can do nothing about it. It's not that they don't trust her character, but after what happened to his brother, who can guarantee that Pingjin Hou will not do something else to anger the Wen family in the future? It's the same reason as the Wen family's "worry".
Therefore, it is necessary to add a layer of solid relationship.
It’s really worthwhile to have a deeper relationship with someone with superb medical skills.
However, since Han said so, they naturally agreed.
In the end, perhaps both parties had already figured out what was going on, and the only one who was still confused was probably Hua Bochen.
The ex-fiancée might become a stepsister? Who could tell him what this development would be like
However, now no one cares what he thinks. Originally he was the protagonist in apologizing, but now he has completely become a foil. Of course, this may not be a bad thing for him. After all, he had been prepared to be humiliated before coming here. If it can be avoided, probably no one wants to endure it.
After seeing off Prince Hua and his party, Wenren Taibo had not returned yet. Han thought about it and went to see Old Madam Wenren.
After listening to Han's narration, Madam Wenren was silent for a moment, "Xuan girl has a straightforward temper and easily offends people. There is nothing wrong in letting her have another backer." If there are enough backers and they are big enough, then even if she offends people, others can't do anything to her.
Therefore, Madam Wenren saw through the essence of the matter at a glance. Wenren Ying was just an excuse, and her role was just a thread. It was more reasonable to let her be the thread.
"Just take care of it."
It was proposed by the Pingjin Marquis's Mansion themselves, and there is no suspicion that their family was trying to build connections by any means.
Han had a basic idea of Wenren Taibo's thoughts, so unless there were any changes at Pingjin Marquis' Mansion, the matter would be settled.
Han then went to look for Wen Renying again. Yes, it was Wen Renying who was likely to change her identity.
When Wen Renying heard it for the first time, she was so surprised that she choked on her own saliva.
