Fei Zhonggui's second brother, Fei Minglan's biological second uncle, Fei Zhongliang, wanted to adopt his youngest son to Fei Minglan's mother on the grounds that the bastard son of a maid girl was not an heir and had no inheritance rights. His ambition to seize the family property could not be more obvious.

What's even more outrageous is that the patriarch of the Fei clan was originally Fei Zhonggui, Fei Minglan's father. When Fei Zhonggui died, Fei Zhongliang also took away the power of the clan leader. In the name of the clan leader, he said that the land occupied by Fei's Orchid Garden was originally Fei's sacrificial land and was a sacrificial property. Now that Fei Zhonggui is dead, the clan wants to take back the land occupied by Lanyuan.

The land in Lanyuan is obviously fertile land purchased by Fei Zhonggui from another family. Where is Fei's sacrificial land?

[The impure description in this paragraph has been deleted, I am extremely sorry]

The Fei family's huge property may be eaten up by Fei Zhongliang in various unreasonable names in less than a year or two.

Fei Minglan's concubine brother Fei Mingde is a nerd and can't take care of things; his mother Fei Zheng is a delicate woman who doesn't care about worldly affairs. In addition, she is a housewife after all, and her words have no weight; let alone her concubine sister Fei Minghui.

And Fei Minglan's second uncle, Fei Zhongliang, was admitted to the Juren Examination and became a Juren Master. He was considered to be half an official and could speak well in the officialdom. In addition, Fei Zhong's noble death was so cold that Fei Minglan was really helpless and full of desolation.

All her life she only hated herself for not being a man, otherwise how could she have been bullied by her second uncle to this point without any power to resist.

Uncle Yi said, "Sooner or later, my daughter will get married. She belongs to another family and has no control over the Fei family's family affairs." She was silenced.

And Fei Minglan couldn't talk about these pains to her so-called close friends, and if she did, she would only make others laugh.

People are willing to add icing on the cake, but few are willing to provide help in times of need.What's more, it is indeed difficult for outsiders to intervene in the Fei family's property dispute.

As for Fei Minghui's marriage, there are indeed some secrets in it that cannot be known to outsiders, and it is even more difficult to describe.

Therefore, facing Jiang Shumei's question, Fei Minglan thought for a moment and then said with a smile: "This is a marriage agreed upon by the elders of the two families. It must be a good match."

Jiang Shuhe flattened her mouth in disdain and said, "You are too good-tempered. What I hate the most is how pitiful your second lady is at any time and place, wishing she would collapse in the wind. She can't walk or talk properly. Who can show her to you?"

Jiang Shumei blinked and matched her sister with a slightly mocking smile: "Of course it is for those young gentlemen who love her and cherish her. Otherwise, how could the second young master of the governor's family choose her? She doesn't even care about mourning for her father and is in a hurry to get married!"

Tong Ruyun and Fei Minglan had a better personal relationship. Although she didn't know what was behind this marriage, she always felt that her sister had been wronged. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled: "Speaking of this, I remembered a few words written by Mr. Huang of Yuzhang in "Shu You Fang Pavilion": "However, Lan Xun has different talents and virtues, and few people in the world can tell them apart."

Jiang Shumei immediately said quickly: "'One stem with one flower but more than enough fragrance is orchid; one stem with five or seven flowers but not enough fragrance is hui.' The hui is far inferior to the orchid."

The girls in the flower hall were all legitimate daughters of each family, so naturally they did not like the concubine sisters, so they naturally shared the same hatred with Fei Minglan and were hostile to Fei Minghui.

They cleverly used the ancient distinction between "lan" and "xun" to mock "Minghui" as inferior to "Minglan".

In the eyes of knowledgeable people, orchids and orchids look similar, with similar leaf shapes, similar flowers, and similar aromas. However, in the eyes of truly discerning connoisseurs, orchids are more common and vulgar, while orchids are rare and elegant. As the saying goes, "covering orchids is like a gentleman, and having orchids is like a scholar-official. Maybe ten orchids in the mountains and forests will regret it."

Fei Minglan smiled awkwardly, not being easy to talk to.

In fact, she didn't hate Fei Minghui as much as outsiders imagined.

Fei Minghui has been weak since she was a child, so her every move is inevitably frail. Her temperament is much softer than the strong-willed Fei Minglan. She has always followed her father's orders and her brother's orders. She loves romance and does not like to talk about money and worldly things. She is more like Fei Zheng's direct daughter than Fei Minglan.

Fei Zheng really wanted to marry Fei Minglan into the governor's office. Even if she was not involved in ordinary affairs, after following her husband Fei Zhonggui for so many years, she knew to some extent the distress of businessmen being oppressed and plundered by officials.The status of an official wife is much higher than that of a rich wife. How can she be afraid of being robbed of her property by her second uncle?

Originally, it was not etiquette to propose a marriage during the period of mourning, but Fei Zhonggui died in a hurry and many funeral arrangements were not properly arranged. Fei Zheng was really worried about the future of the Fei family, and she was also anxious to find a new supporter for her family by arranging marriage for her daughter, so she hastily agreed on the marriage first, and waited until Fei Minglan had completed the twenty-seven months of mourning period before getting married. This arrangement was quite appropriate.

This year, Fei Minglan's carefully cultivated "Su Xin Ru Xue" bloomed for the first time, stunning the whole city. Fei Zheng took the opportunity to invite some young talents to come to enjoy the flowers in advance, and also wanted to win over the second son of the governor's office.

Who knew that Zhou Xiaoguang, the second son of the Governor's Mansion, was here, but somehow he broke into the back house. Fei Minghui happened to be resting by the small lake in the house, and found a strange man breaking in. He was frightened and fell into the water. Zhou Xiaoguang rescued the beauty who fell into the water. Their skin touched each other, their hands and feet were entangled, and their hair was intertwined. Fei Minghui's reputation as a best friend was destroyed.

Fei Minghui was a pitiful little beauty, and she looked even more pale and fragile after falling into the water. There were tears in Qiu Shui's bright eyes, and she was trying to hold back her tears. Zhou Xiaoguang was so moved by his pity that he hugged her tightly again impulsively.

If Fei Minghui can no longer marry him, she will probably die.

Fei Minghui's half-brother Fei Mingde also knew that his concubine sister was not qualified to be Zhou Xiaoguang's legitimate wife, so he tactfully told her that she could be a concubine. Anyway, Zhou Xiaoguang must be responsible for his sister.

Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoguang was a affectionate and "good man". He immediately promised that he would not mind Fei Minghui's background and was willing to marry her as his wife.

Anyway, Young Master Zhou was not the eldest son of the family, and there was no heavy family pressure. Seeing that his attitude was resolute, Zhou's parents even went on a hunger strike, so they had no choice but to agree to the marriage.

Lord Zhou, the governor, originally wanted his second son to marry Fei Minglan. He also coveted the huge property left by Fei Zhonggui after his death, but he was concerned about his official reputation and could not be a "corrupt official" who broke into houses and grabbed money, so he thought that he would seize part of it through a wrong marriage.

Now that his son has failed to live up to expectations, he has chosen the concubine of the Fei family. Mr. Zhou frowned and agreed. It was a helpless concession of "no fish, just shrimp".

Anyway, no matter which daughter the Fei family marries, Mr. Zhou will ask the Fei family to pay a large dowry. Otherwise, she will not be worthy of his dignified official son, right?

Fei Minglan's nanny, Grandma Wang, was very angry about this incident. She gnashed her teeth and muttered to Fei Minglan in private: "How come we met her by chance and fell into the water by chance? We played by the lake all year round and I didn't see her slipping. But when Mr. Zhou came, she fell into the water! Are all the servants around her dead? I don't know what tricks that little prodigal hoof played! The young master also followed.Just to join in the fun.I'm afraid that my sister from the same mother will not get married, so I rush to marry Mr. Zhou, but I ignore you.It's in vain that Mrs. Fei has loved him since she was a child, and she has always respected him.Isn't he close to his sister?

What can Fei Minglan say?I can only smile bitterly.

She was never willing to think bad things about her siblings. After all, they were only three siblings. If they didn't unite, the Fei family would really be doomed.

But this time the governor's engagement incident really hit Fei Minglan, and coupled with the troubles caused by her second uncle, she had been feeling depressed recently.

However, she had never been a girl willing to admit defeat, and she had no intention of marrying anyone other than Mr. Zhou. Since she was not destined to Zhou Xiaoguang, she simply blessed Minghui generously.

She believed that she was destined for marriage. Even if she couldn't marry into an official family, as long as she found a husband with good moral character, wouldn't it be a blessing?

She believes in what her father taught her since childhood: "Learn to control your own happiness and not rely on others."

Fei Zhonggui was an enlightened businessman. He never educated his favored legitimate daughter with the old-fashioned dogma of three obediences and four virtues. He taught her to read and read, financial planning, how to think independently, and how to deal with the world.
