With the two families having nearly severed their ties, it seemed unlikely that any positive outcomes could emerge from this situation. There was even the potential for retaliation from Su Bin and others.

Qian Dashan offered a stern warning to Ms. Lin, “It’s crucial not to antagonize anyone from the Su Family. Igniting their ire could lead to dire consequences.”

Ms. Lin nodded thoughtfully. “I’m not foolish. I’m working on repairing our relationship with them, and I won’t let anyone provoke them.”

Casting a meaningful glance at Feng, who was still present at home, Qian Dashan discreetly drew Ms. Lin aside.

“If you plan to present Feng as Qian Shanmin’s potential wife, it’s best to remain uninvolved.”

Ms. Lin was left perplexed, struggling to comprehend the situation. “Why should we avoid getting involved? We need to seize this opportunity; what if someone else beats us to it?”

“Before, Qian Shanmin was swayed by Su Lan, causing him to disregard Feng.

However, with Su Lan now elevated to the status of Lady of the Marquis Mansion, she’s out of his reach. Consequently, he’s likely to settle for the next best option. Unless I create an opening for them now, someone else might s.n.a.t.c.h it away.”

“Keep in mind that while Qian Shanmin may have a limp, it doesn’t hinder his work on the farm. More importantly, he possesses 300 liang, which means Feng wouldn’t lack for sustenance after marrying him. Our family could also reap some benefits.”

Qian Dashan snapped at Ms. Lin, his tone sharp. “I’m being brutally honest with you, even if it feels like addressing a stubborn mule!”

“Indeed, Qian Shanmin was influenced by Su Lan’s allure, but without her interest, his fixation wouldn’t be so intense.

“My point is, Qian Shanmin has been someone Su Lan held affection for over a lengthy period. Although she’s now the Lady of the Marquis Mansion and can’t marry him, her feelings for him still run deep.”

“I believe Qian Shanmin would think twice about any wrongdoing once he recognizes Su Lan’s ident.i.ty. Perhaps he could genuinely accept Feng.”

“If Qian Shanmin and Feng do form a couple, and Su Lan observes that the person she harbors feelings for is drawn to Feng, her resentment might extend to our family.”

“She holds the position of Elder Sister, commanding the respect of all the siblings within the family. If she chooses not to recognize us, our efforts will yield naught! ”

“Understood?”

Ms. Lin was taken aback, marveling at her husband’s depth of thinking. His ability to delve into such intricacies was impressive.

Her husband’s a.n.a.lysis was accurate, yet she had already set her heart on Feng being an ideal match for Qian Shan. Relinquishing her role as matchmaker was a difficult decision.

Nevertheless, contemplating the advantages she could gain from the Marquis Mansion, she found no reason to be miserly. The Old Marquis had already been magnanimous in granting 100 liang to her mother-in-law.

Ms. Lin believed that swift reparation of relations with the Su Family was imperative to secure even greater benefits.

That night, Ms. Lin and Qian Dashan accompanied her mother-in-law to the Su Family, bringing along some gifts from their home. They presented these as tokens of appreciation to the Old Marquis for his financial a.s.sistance to her mother-in-law.

Su Bin and the others, out of respect for their grandmother, permitted them to remain in the living room. However, their interaction was limited solely to conversations with the grandmother. Ms. Lin and Qian Dashan were all but ignored.

Qian Dashan, attempting to engage his mother, was met with the grandmother’s inquiry on his behalf, “Su Lan, when do you envision returning to the Marquis Mansion?”

Su Lan replied, “The decision hasn’t been finalized. It might happen later.”

Admitting the possibility of not returning to the Marquis Mansion wasn’t an option. Doing so would require disclosing numerous details. It seemed wiser to provide an ambiguous response..
