“My Second Cousin is full of tricks, and he has considered every aspect. Besides, a good wife is a blessing to her husband. This is especially true for important families. Mingyue has her faults, but they are not fatal flaws. She just needs Second Cousin to guide her a little. Hasn’t she improved quickly? Besides, with a devil like Second Cousin around, nothing will go wrong.”
Actually, important families were very strict when it came to choosing daughters-in-law.
Especially a family like the Gu family, which had a long history. They were especially careful when choosing a daughter-in-law who would be the future mistress of the family.
Now that times had progressed, they were no longer like the extraordinary times of the past. The various major families had begun to stabilize, and they could now expand. Currently, the training of their children and grandchildren was especially important.
A worthless mother could never train a capable child. So it was not unreasonable for many important families to require their future daughters-in-law to come from compatible families or be outstandingly talented.
Only excellent genes would increase the probability of having outstanding children and grandchildren.
In the extraordinary times of the past, the important families had been suppressed. In order to achieve stability, they might not care too much about their daughters-in-law’s backgrounds or talents. It was sufficient for them to be of good character. But now, talent had become increasingly important.
Mo Beihan put down the pen in his hand and smiled at Gu Qingyao. “After all, my wife is the most capable. Marrying you caused me to reach the peak of my life.”
Gu Qingyao glared at him. “Don’t you know how many years of experience I have? Besides, the Gu family spent a lot of effort to groom me!”
She had lived two lives, so her experience and judgment were incomparable.
The Gu family already placed great importance on educating their children, so of course she was pretty good.
Mo Beihan reached out his hand to Gu Qingyao, who then walked over and naturally sat on his lap.
“I’m done with my work. Do you want to go out tonight and have some fun, or… do you want to make a child with me?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“Mo Beihan, you are really getting increasingly shameless lately!”
Mo Beihan denied it. “Says who? I am the most proper, gentlemanly, n.o.ble, and elegant person. How am I shameless?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”

After Ji Mingyue left the Ye house, the bystanders were so frightened that they fled. From then on, they were determined not to have any interactions with Ye Yihong. In fact, they avoided the entire Ye family.
For the next few days, everyone in the family waited in trepidation. They were waiting to see if… those important people would strike, and… deal with the Ye family!
They waited for many days, but nothing happened.
Until one day, something suddenly happened to Ye Yihong’s father. His workplace discovered evidence of illegal dealings, and he was sent straight to prison.
Then there was a sudden rumor that Ye Yihong’s mother had behaved inappropriately when she was young, and her child was not actually a Ye.
The Ye family was biased towards boys, so Ye Yihong’s mother’s position in the family had been entirely dependent on her son.
Now, this happened.
Although Ye Yihong’s father was imprisoned, the Old Master was still around. He was furious when he heard that his grandson was not actually his. At that point in time, a mistress appeared with her son in tow.
Once they questioned Ye Yihong’s father, he admitted that this was his illegitimate child, and he belonged to the Ye family.
Although Old Master Ye was angry, he was also glad that he had a grandson, so he welcomed the grandson into the Ye family.
As for Ye Yihong, the Old Master whipped her viciously. She could not even get out of bed!
