If Nie Lve had continued to stay in the Duke's mansion, it would have been crowded at this moment.
Now the Duke's mansion was even more ruined because of his and Lin Wanxin's wrong decision.
Nie Lve didn't want to admit that it was his fault, so he selfishly attributed all the problems to Lin Wanxin.
These days, Lin Wanxin's life was very difficult. When she heard Bai Xiwan ask about Nie Lve's marriage, Lin Wanxin's face sank.
Lin Wanxin scolded Bai Xiwan thousands of times in her heart, but she said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Bai Xiwan looked melancholy, "Sister, you may not know, but I had an engagement with Nie Lve when we were young. Later, uncle and aunt died one after another, so it was canceled."
Bai Xiwan looked very sad, as if she really regretted that she and Nie Lve didn't continue their fate.
But Lin Wanxin was not a fool.
If she really regretted their fate, why didn't she come when the Duke and his wife died one after another?
In the end, she just didn't like Nie Lve at that time.
Now she didn't manage to climb the Left Commandery Prince's branch. Instead, she made enemies. Now she had the reputation of bringing bad luck to her husband. Which noble family in the capital would want to marry her?
Seeing that she couldn't do it, she turned her attention to Nie Lve.
Lin Wanxin looked at Bai Xiwan with contempt.
At that time, everyone in the capital praised Bai Xiwan as the head of noble ladies. They should have come to see Bai Xiwan's shameless appearance now. Bah!
"Miss Bai, be careful with your words." Lin Wanxin said softly, "Not many people know about this engagement. Nie Lve is already married, so let's forget about it."
Lin Wanxin's rejection was expected.
Bai Xiwan was not depressed at all and continued, "Sister, you are Nie Lve's sister-in-law. I have always treated you like my own sister. Although the outside world says that Nie Lve and Xiao Jiuniang are in love, you and I know what kind of life Xiao Jiuniang has in her family.
To be honest, how can a woman like Xiao Jiuniang be worthy of Nie Lve? In my opinion, Nie Lve is just afraid that others will say that he abandoned his wife, so he has been forcing himself to endure. "
Bai Xiwan's words were exactly what Lin Wan was thinking. She also felt that Xiao Jiuniang was not worthy of Nie Lve.
She had always been worried that Nie Lve would vent his anger on the Duke Zhenguo Mansion because she forced him to marry a woman like Xiao Jiuniang.
Nie Ce had neither civil nor military skills. Now, he was relying on the title of Duke Zhenguo. If Nie Lue wanted to deal with him, the Duke Zhenguo residence would not be able to resist.
Because of this, Nie Ce often got angry with her. Now that Bai Xi Wan said this, Lin Wan's heart instantly had an idea.
Although Bai Xiwan's reputation was ruined, Bai Xiwan's appearance was still there. Moreover, she was related to Nie Lve's mother. Nie Lve might like her.
Moreover, looking at Bai Xi Wan's appearance, it was obvious that she was not here for the position of the official wife.
Although Bai Xiwan's reputation was tarnished, her status was not low. If she could only be a co-wife, it would be a good thing. She could even salvage the relationship she had with Nie Lue.
Lin Wanxin looked at Bai Xi Wan carefully and said, "Have you thought it through?"
Bai Xi Wan said submissively, "Sister, you know my current situation very well. Of course, I've thought it through."
After Bai Xi Wan finished speaking, she did not forget to show her loyalty, "Sister, don't worry. If I get together with Nie Lve, I will not forget sister's great kindness."
Bai Xi Wan's words made Lin Wan's heart burn even more.
She had offended Jiujiu a long time ago. Moreover, because of Jiujiu, she had miscarried a child. Her feelings for Jiujiu had long faded to the point that it was almost non-existent. Now that she heard Bai Xiwan's promise, she wanted to help Bai Xiwan marry Nie Lve even more.
Since she had already offended Xiao Jiuniang, she might as well help Bai Xi Wan get the position.
Bai Xi Wan had the looks and the relationship she had with Nie Lve. No matter what, she was better than Xiao Jiuniang.
When Bai Xi Wan understood Nie Lve's feelings, she would naturally help her repair the relationship between Nie Lve and the Duke's residence.
Lin Wan's heart was already moved. However, because of her decisiveness last time, Nie Lve married Xiao Jiuniang. Nie Ce scolded her every day for not being able to do anything right. Lin Wan remembered this and was prepared to tell Nie Ce about it before replying to Bai Xi Wan.
Lin Wan Xin said, "This is a serious matter. I need to discuss it with my husband."
Bai Xi Wan said, "I will listen to sister's instructions."
At night.
Lin Wan Xin told Nie Ce about Bai Xi Wan's thoughts and her own intentions.
Nie Ce's heart turned a few times before he said, "Okay."
Many of the things he did to Nie Lve were small tricks, and Nie Lve didn't know about them at all. The only big move he made was to let Nie Lve marry a wife like Xiao Jiuniang through Lin Wanxin. If he could make up for this mistake, it was not impossible to repair the relationship between the two brothers.
And Bai Xi Wan was the best opportunity for that.
However, the relationship between the two brothers was now unfamiliar. If she said it directly, it would make Nie Lve feel that they wanted to interfere with his marriage. Therefore, she had to say it step by step. If possible, it would be best if Xiao Jiuniang told Nie Lve about it.
Nie Ce and Lin Wan Xin discussed for half the night before they finally agreed on how to tell Nie Lve about it. Only then did they fall asleep contentedly.
Jiujiu was sitting next to the cradle, watching the little fool Nie Wei blow bubbles. Suddenly, she heard the old housekeeper say that the Duke's wife came to visit.
Since they separated from the family, the two sides did not have any contact. Even when she gave birth to Nie Wei, the Duke's residence did not say anything. Why did they come today?
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows, "Let them wait in the living room."
After Nie Lve left the Duke's residence with her, although Lin Wan Xin did not say anything, she secretly wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate their departure.
Before Nie Lve became successful, Lin Wan Xin was not willing to do anything on the surface. She wanted to distance herself from their family. Now, she caught up with them. It was really strange.
Jiujiu asked the wet nurse to look after Nie Wei and went to the living room to see Lin Wan Xin.
Lin Wan Xin was invited to the living room by the old housekeeper. After she was served tea, no one paid attention to her.
The more no one paid attention to her, the more Lin Wan Xin's imagination ran wild. She even began to guess that Jiujiu was going to give her the cold shoulder and embarrass her.
Just as Lin Wan Xin was thinking about whether she should grovel and apologize to Jiujiu, Jiujiu came to the living room.
When she saw Jiujiu, Lin Wan Xin was more enthusiastic than seeing her own mother, "Sister, you are here."
Jiujiu pushed away Lin Wan Xin's hand that wanted to support her. She chuckled and said, "Why are you here today?"
Jiujiu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have lost a lot of weight. Looking at the circles under your eyes, it seems that you did not sleep well today. I made a medicine patch a few days ago. If you need it, I will ask Lianxin to copy it and send it to you."
