My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

Xue Qianyu had once told Gu Nian about his sister, Xue Qianning.

Xue Qianning was about the same age as Lu Zheng’s sister, Lu Xue. The two of them had grown up together and were best friends. Even though Xue Qianning had married far away and only returned once a year, their relationship did not drift apart. Instead, it grew stronger.

The two of them exchanged letters every month.

Lu Xue was gentle, dignified, and magnanimous, while Xue Qianning was more lively.

Xue Qianning’s personality was similar to that of a benefactor. When she was young, she would play with anything that was fun. Before Princess Jinghe became the Overlord of the capital, Xue Qianning was this Overlord.

As long as the Empress’s niece didn’t do anything out of line, she could be as arrogant as she wanted. Sometimes, even the Royal princesses were of no use against her.

Her personality was the complete opposite of her own brother, Xue Qianyu. She was as eloquent as Xue Qianyu was. She was now in charge of her husband’s family business. She had a strong personality and could make whatever she wanted in her husband’s family. However, her in-laws and her husband respected her very much. It could even be said that they would listen to her every word. It could not be helped. After this daughter-in-law married into the family, their family business grew bigger and bigger. Who would not be convinced by her ability?

Xue Qianning’s husband’s family name was li. Her husband liked to study and had also taken the imperial examination. He had even become an Imperial scholar. However, the officialdom did not match his ideal world. In addition, his elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew had all met with accidents. His parents were unable to recover from the setback after seeing their children die. Hence, he returned home to accompany his parents.

He and Xue Qianning had known each other when he was taking the Imperial examinations in the capital. He was good-looking, and Xue Qianning had taken a fancy to him at first glance. At first, Duke Cheng ‘en did not think much of this son-in-law, but in the end, he decided to resign a few months after this kid became a scholar. Without saying anything, Duke Cheng’ en immediately married his daughter off.

Duke Cheng ‘en was still thinking very far. His sister was the Empress, his son was favored by the Emperor, and if his daughter found a partner in the court, who knew what would happen in the future? He didn’t want to be involved in the complicated Affairs of the Imperial court. He only wanted to eat, drink, and have fun. The son had no choice but to be the pillar of the family, but the daughter did not need to be!

His daughter didn’t need to marry into a rich family, but a simple merchant family. In the future, even if something happened to the Xue family, his daughter wouldn’t be implicated. As long as the Xue family didn’t get into trouble, he could always support his daughter.

Therefore, when he found out that the young man could not become an official and that his elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew had died, leaving only two old men and an old lady in the family, Duke Cheng ‘en married his daughter off without hesitation. Because of this, his wife cried the entire night.

The facts had proven that Duke Cheng ‘en’s decision was correct.

In the past few years, the Emperor had uprooted King Qu’s and Prime Minister Lin’s bloodlines, implicating many people. If their daughter had listened to her mother and married the youngest son of some family, the grass on her grave would have probably grown tall by now!

When she got married, she seemed to be a family of food and drink, but what about in the future?

They had an Empress in their family, and it was enough to have a son working in front of the Emperor. As for their daughter, they just had to let her be happy.

Madam Xue had also been afraid these past few years. When she had taken a look at her daughter in the past, she had had to say “God bless me,” and “thank you for your kindness,” calling her stupid. Then the two of them had quarreled, and after that, they had not ignored each other.
