Jiu Yiniang had not expected this and immediately paled. She looked to Li Wei Yang in shock, barely managing to choke out: "How could it be so soon?"

Li Wei Yang coldly reminded her: "Muqin just passed away. There cannot be an absence of the female head of household, so the date to marry Jiang shi has been set."

Jiu Yiniang could not believe it. She thought remarrying a new Furen would something in the distant future and had not expected a candidate to be confirmed three months after Da Furen's passing. Not to mention, this person was also from the same family.

Li Wei Yang softly added: "Jiu Yiniang, Da ge is no longer in the residence, and Fuqin has no other sons, so it's normal for him to have high hopes for your child. The only thing is that this new Furen will only be eighteen and will certainly give birth to a rightful heir..."

Jiu Yiniang was overcome with fear, finally understanding Li Wei Yang's intentions. The new Furen will be young and beautiful, capturing Laoye's attention. Even if she managed to give birth to a son, her child would still be concubine-born. If the new Furen also had a son, would Laoye still treasure her child? The new Furen's son will be the rightful heir!

Not to mention, when the new Furen arrives, she will naturally feel aggrieved towards the Yiniangs with children, especially Jiu Yiniang if she had a son. Perhaps she may even become a thorn in the new Furen's eye! Li Wei Yang was reminding her that she should be thinking of how to deal with the new Furen instead of targeting Qi Yiniang!

Li Wei Yang approached her and warmly extended a hand. She grasped Jiu Yiniang's trembling fingers with a smile: "Isn't it clear what your greatest priority should be?"

Jiu Yiniang was startled: "What?"

Li Wei Yang's small smile faded: "At this time, your greatest priority should be to give birth to a healthy child and protect it from those with malicious intentions."

Stunned, Jiu Yiniang felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. Her entire body stiffened. She broke into a cold sweat, feeling as if a tiny insect was slowly crawling over her, leaving a cold sensation in its wake.

What she did today more or less came from Si Yiniang. Now, it seems - everything was in Li Wei Yang's hands! She was simply suicidal to go looking for death's doors! However, she still remembered the things in the past and hesitated. She cautiously looked up at Li Wei Yang: "Then, Xianzhu..."

Li Wei Yang smiled: "I know what Yiniang is worried about, but my hands are definitely not any cleaner than yours, so you don't have to worry. I won't tell Fuqin because I still need your help when that person steps foot in through the doors!"

Jiu Yiniang felt her body relax: "If there's something I can help with, I will do my best."

Li Wei Yang slightly narrowed her eyes and did not say anything else. There vaguely seemed to be wry humor and ridicule in her eyes.

Jiu Yiniang departed. Li Wei Yang watched her leave. Her smile gradually froze like a blossoming snow flower with an indescribable chill.

Qi Yiniang was a bit worried: "Wei Yang—"

Li Wei Yang gently offered a few words of reassurance, then let Mo Zhu help Qi Yiniang back to her room. She sat down and picked up a book. She barely read two lines before tossing the book aside.

Worried that she was frustrated, Bai Zhi brought tea over: "Xiaojie, this new chrysanthemum tea is good for dispelling heat. Xiaojie, try some."

Li Wei Yang smiled and glanced at Bai Zhi: "You thought I was angry?"
