When Lin Wanxin was persuading Bai Xijiu, her words sounded even better than singing. However, when this matter really happened to her, she could not wait to pick up a knife and slash Bai Xiwan's face a thousand times. She wanted to see how Bai Xiwan would continue to charm men.
Lin Wanxin's heart was filled with hatred. However, on the surface, she still had to pretend to be virtuous.
When Jiujiu knew that Bai Xiwan was Lin Wanxin's co-wife, she laughed very happily.
Nie Lue and Nie Ce were both co-wives. It did not matter who she was.
However, Jiujiu always felt that Bai Xiwan becoming Nie Ce's co-wife had something to do with Nie Lue.
However, after Bai Xiwan became Nie Ce's co-wife, Jiujiu's ears were much quieter.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
Nie Wei was already three years old. He looked more and more like Jiujiu. Especially when he was acting like a rascal, he was exactly the same as Jiujiu.
When Nie Lue, who was incomparably hard-hearted in the army, saw Nie Wei acting like a spoiled child, he would abandon his soldiers and armor and agree to a series of unfair conditions. That kind of behavior was simply more doting than Jiujiu, the mother. Jiujiu simply could not bear to watch.
However, although Nie Wei liked to act like a spoiled child and act like a rascal, he was very smart. Whether it was reading or reading, he was very fast. The teacher who was in charge of Nie Wei's initiation said that Nie Wei was a genius and would be the top scholar in the future.
Xiao Jiuniang died before Nie Wei grew up. Therefore, Jiujiu really did not know whether Nie Wei was a genius or not.
However, the teacher said that Nie Wei was a genius and would be the top scholar in the future. Jiujiu did not let Nie Wei go like before. She began to control Nie Wei and wanted him to be the top scholar in the future.
Nie Wei was wronged by her mother's control. She went to Nie Lue and acted like a spoiled child. However, she did not expect that her father, who was obedient to her in the past, became stricter than her mother after talking to her for a night.
She thought that her father was a loving father, but she didn't expect that her loving father didn't have any love in front of her mother. Because Nie Wei revealed her intelligence too early, she lived a very difficult life from then on.
Nie Wei was extremely bitter about this. More than once, he told others not to reveal their intelligence too early. Otherwise, they would have to bear everything that they shouldn't bear at their age.
However, geniuses were lonely. He had said so much, but only a few people understood him. It could be said that he was very lonely.
Nie Wei became a Xiucai at the age of ten and became a Juren at the age of thirteen. Because he was too young, he was suppressed by his master, the Grand Tutor of the imperial court, for three years. When he was sixteen, he took part in the imperial examination and became the youngest Zhuangyuan in history.
Nie Wei was born with a noble background and was born with a pretty face. When she was riding a tall horse through the streets, she was almost smashed to death by the fragrant sachets and fruits of the noble maidens in the capital.
After Nie Wei returned home, she looked at Jiujiu and muttered, "Mother, women nowadays are too crazy."
He was almost crushed to death.
When Nie Wei returned home, he looked at Jiujiu with an aggrieved expression and said, "Mother, why didn't you let me become second place?"
Jiujiu, who was embroidering, heard Nie Wei's muttering and instantly became interested. "Why do you want to be second place?"
"Second place doesn't need to ride a horse through the streets. You don't need to be smashed to death." Nie Wei rubbed his head and said miserably, "Look at me. I've been smashed so many times."
Looking at Nie Wei's red head, Jiujiu chuckled. "I'll use ointment to rub it for you later."
Nie Wei, who had succeeded in acting spoiled, hugged Jiujiu's arm and continued to act spoiled. Jiujiu's heart softened when she heard this.
Jiujiu was happy, but Nie Lve was jealous.
Nie Lve appeared with a serious expression. He looked at Nie Wei, who was acting spoiled towards Jiujiu, and said, "You're already so old, yet you're still acting spoiled with your mother. When I was your age, I joined the army."
"Father, what are you talking about?" Nie Wei glanced at her father, whose entire body was emitting a sour aura, and slowly retorted, "You couldn't join the army because you had to make a living. Now that I have mother's favor, I have the right to act spoiled. Besides, mother said that no matter how old I am, I'm still her baby. Mother, don't you think so?"
Beautiful people have special privileges. Even if they act spoiled, it can make people's hearts soften.
Jiujiu was amused by Nie Wei and repeatedly laughed. She nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you're right. You, ah. If you want to act spoiled, then act spoiled. No matter if you're a babbling baby or a white-haired old man, in my heart, you'll always be my baby."
Receiving Jiujiu's affirmation, Nie Wei proudly raised his little head. Her proud appearance made Nie Lve so angry that he almost crushed the scabbard in his hand.
Sure enough, the older a child was, the less likable they were.
Nie Wei had been selected as the top scholar by the emperor and was sent to the Supreme Court the moment she entered the official position. Anyone with eyes could tell that the emperor had the intention of sending Nie Wei there for training. When Nie Wei came out of the Supreme Court in two to three years, she would probably become a trusted official.
Although Nie Wei couldn't inherit Nie Lve's mantle and command the three armies, it would be extremely good if she could become the head of the civil officials.
Back then, after Nie Lve became successful, Xiao Zhen and Jiang Wanwan both felt extremely regretful.
However, what was done could not be undone. Moreover, the two of them had always given Xiao Jiuniang the cold shoulder. On the day they returned home, they almost became enemies. If they visited again now, they would probably be ridiculed again. Thus, the two of them tacitly agreed to treat it as if they had never had a daughter like Xiao Jiuniang.
The two of them placed their hearts on educating their son, Xiao Yuan.
However, it was a pity that although Xiao Yuan was very smart, his brain was like a block of wood. He was extremely slow-witted. He needed to repeatedly memorize the Three Character Classic for several days before he could memorize it, not to mention other things.
Even with a knowledgeable father like Xiao Zhen, Xiao Yuan's academic results were still worrisome.
In contrast to Xiao Yuan's academic results, when it came to causing trouble, Xiao Yuan's talent left others in the dust.
Xiao Zhen had been worried sick about his son ever since he was young.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan had no hope of studying, Xiao Zhen could only entrust his heart to his grandson.
The matter of Xiao Yuan getting married and having children was naturally put on the agenda as well.
However …
News of Xiao Yuan's stupidity and inability to be taught had long spread. Originally, people from families of equal social status wouldn't take a liking to someone like Xiao Yuan. Xiao Zhen and Jiang Wanwan also wouldn't take a liking to a woman who could take a liking to Xiao Yuan. However, because Xiao Yuan was too stupid, they could only choose an obedient woman from a family and marry him.
The two of them had a beautiful dream of properly teaching their grandson.
However, Xiao Yuan liked beautiful women.
Although the girl Xiao Zhen chose was obedient, she was lacking in looks. On the day of the wedding, Xiao Zhen stayed for a few days because of the novelty. After the wedding, he went straight to the brothel.
If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Zhen, like the Left Royal Prince, had caused trouble because of snatching the courtesan title, Jiujiu didn't know how Xiao Zhen and Jiang Wanwan had been doing all these years.
However …
Looking at the two people sitting below, one looked dispirited, as if he had aged several decades, while the other was crying and constantly wiping her tears, it was obvious that they weren't doing well.
Jiujiu put down her teacup and looked at Xiao Zhen and Jiang Wanwan. "I can't help with this matter."
