After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Chapter 545 – 545 This is the main point

545 This is the main point

Xi Xinheng’s words shocked the others.

“That’s a good suggestion,” Old Master Xi said with a smile.

He looked at Xi Rui. “You stinky brat, you’ve never wanted to get married. You just don’t like those well-mannered girls from noble families right?

“Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo have a good upbringing. The sister they’ve raised shouldn’t be bad.

“If you think it’s not bad, then hurry up and do it. Otherwise, it’ll be too late to cry when someone snatch your wife away.

Xi Rui was speechless. There wasn’t the slightest sign of success yet.

“I don’t know. I don’t dislike Xiao Baili.”

Previously, he had avoided marriage because he did not like the girls that the aristocratic families had raised.

He felt that they were a little boring.

When he thought about marrying a woman who he had never even interacted with before and who was so prim and proper, he felt vexed and resistant.

Now that he thought about it, if the woman was Xiao Baili, he didn’t seem to be so resistant and repulsed.

Xiao Baili had been taught by Shi Qingluo to have a unique personality.

She was also an interesting person and was good at cooking. She seemed to be quite good.

“It’s a good thing that you don’t,” Old Master Xi immediately said.

“I was afraid that you would be alone for the rest of your life because of your resistance to marriage. Now it seems that you still have the hope of getting married.”

Previously, he was really afraid that his grandson would not get married.

“It seems that you have a good impression of Xiao Baili,” Xi Xinheng also said with a smile

“When you go back after the new year, you should find a chance to interact more with her. If you like her, our family can help you propose marriage.

He had seen Xiao Baili once, and he felt that the little girl was soft and delicate, very suitable for his son.

Xi Rui asked himself, when did his father become so impatient?

“Isn’t this too fast?” he asked.

Xi Xinheng rolled his eyes at him. “It’s just like what your grandfather said. If you don’t hurry, your wife will be gone.”

“My grandson,” the old master said earnestly, “it’s good enough that a good-for-nothing like you has someone who wants you. So, when you see a good girl, you have to grab hold of her.

Xi Rui remained silent. Was he that bad?

When the old lady heard the old master’s words, she glared at him. “Although my Rui’er is a dandy, he doesn’t commit any crimes. He just likes to play a little. How is it possible that no one wants him?”

Then, she smiled at Xi Rui and changed the topic. “But your grandfather is right. The girl is so good. If you don’t act fast, she’ll be snatched away by someone else.

“I can’t give up this daughter-in-law.

“If you like it, grandma will help you propose marriage.”

She had experienced war.

When the old master had followed the late emperor to conquer the country, she had also experienced a hard time.

Although he was also born into an aristocratic family, he did not care much about the concept of family status.

As long as her precious grandson liked her and the couple could live happily ever after, she would be satisfied.

Xi Rui waved his hand in embarrassment. “We’ll talk about this later.”

His third uncle laughed and suggested, “If you’re really interested in Xiao Baili, when you return to the northern border after the new year, you should learn from Prince Yi and try to please her more. Don’t be a fool.”

They had no objection to their nephew marrying Xiao Baili.

Xi Rui thought about his little uncle’s appearance when he was trying to please Mother Xiao.

He remained silent.

His little uncle was showing off all the time, but he wasn’t able to be so mushy!

He initially didn’t pay much attention to this, but after these people said it, his heart seemed to be beating a little faster.

He saw his family’s jesting expressions and said, “Don’t worry about me. I have something to attend to. I’ll go out first.”

He got up and left after he finished speaking.

Old Master Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his grandson’s cowardice. “This kid can still be shy.

“I think there’s a chance.”

With his grandson’s overbearing and stubborn personality, if he didn’t like Xiao Baili, he would have exploded and opposed it when they brought it up just now.

The old lady also smiled. “I think there’s a chance too.”

After a while, his personal attendant came back to report that two of Old Master Xi’s Mahjong buddies were invited by Old Master Liang a step earlier.

Old Master Xi was speechless.

That damned old master was so shameless, why did he show off so much?

He snorted. “I hope that stinky brat will work hard for me. He can’t be defeated by the Liang family’s brat or let him snatch his wife away.”

The old lady rolled her eyes at him. “When its time, you can’t run away from fate. If you can’t force the young lady to dislike Rui’er either.

Of course, she hoped that her grandson could bring his granddaughter-in-law back as soon as possible.

However, if the young lady didn’t like her grandson, they couldn’t force her.

The old master touched his nose. “Of course.”

“Go back and tell your wife about this. ” The old lady said to Xi Xinheng. “We still need her consent.”

In the future, when she married into the family, her daughter-in-law would need to get along with her granddaughter-in-law the most.

A peaceful home requires the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along well.

Xi Xinheng nodded. “Alright!”

The old master had his personal attendant call for the other two old masters. When they arrived, the old lady, Xi Xinheng, and the others also left.

Xi Xinheng went directly to the backyard.

His wife was talking to her two daughters-in-law and greeted him with a smile when she saw him.

He told his two daughters-in-law, who were about to leave, to stay.

Then, he mentioned to his wife that his family wanted Xi Rui to marry Xiao Baili.

The duke’s wife seemed to be surprised and then asked, “What is Rui’er thinking? Is he willing to do so?”

Her youngest son was the most precious to her, so she had been delaying the marriage because her son did not like it and was against it.

She didn’t have high expectations for her son and daughter-in-law.

As long as her son liked her, the young lady had a good character and was born in an innocent family, it would be fine.

Since her husband, grandfather, and grandmother had all agreed, Xiao Baili should be able to satisfy the last two conditions.

The key was whether his son liked it or not. That was the main point.

She didn’t want to force her son to marry a wife he didn’t like.

She had also asked for her other two sons’ opinions when they were about to get married.

For example, her second daughter-in-law’s family status was not high, and her biological father was only a fifth-rank official.

However, her second son took a liking to her.

She and the old lady observed her and felt that her character was not bad, so they went to propose marriage.

Xi Xinheng smiled and told her about his youngest son’s reaction.

“He didn’t think about this previously, but now that we’ve mentioned it, he might have some thoughts about this.

“I think he’s happy to do so.”

The duke’s wife’s eyes lit up. “I am worried to death about Rui’er’s marriage. As long as he is willing, I have no objections.

“But the young lady must be willing.”

“If Rui’er is interested in Xiao Baili, ask him to return to the northern border after the new year. He should care more about her.

She smiled. “He can’t be so overbearing anymore. He can’t throw a tantrum. His wife is meant to be doted on.”

Although the two daughters-in-law were also surprised by the candidate their father-in-law had proposed, they did not have any opinions.

On the contrary, they felt that it was quite good.

Otherwise, it might be difficult to get along with the legitimate daughter of an arrogant aristocratic family as their sister-in-law.

Their husbands had already become officials, while the distribution of the Xi family’s resources were skewed.

Although their brother-in-law was more favored, there was not much conflict of interest.

As long as their future sister-in-law’s temper wasn’t difficult to get along with, they wouldn’t make things difficult for her.

It was better to get along with each other than to become enemies.

“It’s better for you to say this to him,” Xi Xinheng chuckled.

As a father, he couldn’t talk too much about his daughter-in-law with his son.

The duke’s wife thought about it and agreed. She smiled and nodded. “Okay, I’ll go and tell them.”
