Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 370 - 369: Plan to Meet the Young Man

Not just Princess Jin’s gaze.

Next to her, Shen Chen also squinted his narrow eyes at her.

Ye Zhi tilted her head, thinking carefully. This year, she was twelve. A girl marries at fifteen, so there were three years to go.

From meeting to knowing each other, and then discussing marriage, each step is essential. A round of this process taking one to two years is considered short. Moreover, getting engaged early to nurture emotions is ideal.

Besides, the Young Master from Duke Zhen Country Mansion is not described much in [Concubine’s Favor], but it’s certain he’s not the villain.

Simultaneously, he’s not a greatly evil person. After confirmation, he is an ideal groom worthy of trust.

She nodded in agreement: "Mm, sister, I’m willing to meet him and see."

The handsome young man beside them, dressed in a dark green patterned robe, with half of his black hair tied up with a golden phoenix crown and the other half hanging down, had a face like a jade crown, and a gentle expression, quietly listening to the sisters’ conversation.

When he heard Ye Zhi say she was willing, the hand under the table clenched, and the white porcelain cup instantly turned to powder, falling to the ground along his slender fingers.

The autumn wind blew past, leaving no trace, as the fine powder drifted along with the wind.

Outwardly he appeared gentle, but his eyes were cold and murderous.

Yet, the pair of sisters remained completely unaware.

Ye Fu’s lips curved slightly, smiling brightly: "That’s right. How could mother and I ever harm you? You’re lively, and as you grow older, you might become even wilder. It’s best to take this chance to meet the Young Master of Duke Zhen Country Mansion."

On the surface, Duke Zhen Country Mansion and Minister’s Mansion don’t seem that different.

However, his family’s industries span the entire Daqing Dynasty, and even extend to neighboring countries. Their deep roots and widespread branches are unmatched by the Ye Family.

Moreover, Duke Zhen holds a senior position in the court, a figure of authority, able to truly influence decisions.

Father holds the First Grade Chief of Staff position in the court, yet when major events occur, he rarely has the opportunity to speak up.

If Ah Zhi marries the legitimate grandson of Duke Zhen, it is undoubtedly a step up.

With her sister agreeing, whether it works out or not, it’s a good start.

"Next time, when I meet with mother, we’ll discuss it in detail. Typically, we should send a card to Duke Zhen Country Mansion for a visit first. Since the Prince is away from the Capital City, it’s inconvenient for us to make an appearance as a widow and orphan, but mother will arrange everything. You should dress and groom yourself appropriately, don’t lose a girl’s dignity in front of the Young Master."

Ye Zhi, with her pure eyes, agreed on the spot: "Alright, sister, thank you for worrying about it."

She hugged the little Ah Che in her arms more tightly. He was esteemed as the Young Prince.

However, from a young age, he lacked the affection of a father.

Prince Jin favored his concubine, being a carefree prince with little power, almost entirely sidelined by the Emperor, who wouldn’t care how long he stays in Hu City. In fact, the Emperor would prefer him to be traveling, showing no interest in the throne.

He wouldn’t bother about Prince Jin favoring his concubine over the Princess Consort.

Nor would he without reason summon Prince Jin back to the Capital.

Ye Zhi wanted to speak but hesitated: "Sister, that little Ah Che lacks a father’s love, he..."

Little Ah Che, could this affect his mental health?

The second half of the sentence was left unsaid.

Ye Fu, considering Shen Chen as a younger brother, spoke frankly in front of him: "It won’t matter. With me around, it’s enough, isn’t there also uncle Ah Lin? Little Ah Che doesn’t need a father. Besides a father, he lacks nothing else, and he will surely grow up safe and sound."

The small bundle in the purple brocade robe was playing with the amber beads on his aunt’s neck. With chubby little hands, he grabbed the translucent beads and swung them back and forth, his large eyes filled with wonder.

How wonderful it is to be a child, without worries~

No matter how big the issues are, they are left for adults to handle.
