It turned out to be this matter that concerned them.

The youngest daughter is just a bit clueless; she didn’t notice Xiao Chen’s assuring demeanor at the time.

About the engagement cancellation, Xiao Chen also mentioned it—it was some kind of Gu, which fortunately has been resolved. They even locked the person up, and I don’t know if they’ve been released yet!

The young couple should talk things through. Rather than letting the youngest daughter marry someone else, the Ye Family privately still chooses the current rising star, the Prime Minister.

Changzhou came to lend her a hand: "Ah Zhi, don’t worry too much. Brother Shen is naturally indifferent. When he talks about you, there’s a hint of tenderness in his eyes. I swear on my life, Brother Shen is a man worthy of entrusting yourself to."

His words made Ye Zhi, who was secretly preparing to run away again, stop in her tracks.

Huanhuan set down the Furong Cake in her hand, squinting with a smile: "It seems like Ah Zhi is too involved to see clearly. Xiao Chen has protected you since you were young. Do you remember that Ji San by the Crown Prince’s side? He tried to lay hands on you at Shuyu Pavilion earlier but didn’t succeed later on."

Ye Zhi nodded: "Of course I remember, why? Speaking of which, I haven’t taken my revenge yet."

Huanhuan continued to explain: "There’s no need. Xiao Chen privately, under the guise of a spar, gave him a beating. The man took half a month to recover from his injuries—I heard about this from Changzhou’s mouth."

All eyes turned to the man.

He explained: "That day, I went to find Brother Shen to discuss something and happened to run into it. I immediately linked it to that Ji San bullying Ah Zhi before. This move was undoubtedly revenge. Otherwise, given Brother Shen’s high position, why bother to argue with a mere guard." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Ye Zhi held a white porcelain teacup, took a sip, and lowered her eyes: "That also concerns Li Changnian. Ji San was acting on orders. If he’s truly good for me, he should go take down Li Changnian. That way, I wouldn’t have to watch the Crown Prince’s face anymore."

A few youngsters were unconsciously chatting away.

But, the current Lord Minister only felt cold sweat on his back.

Now, the court is divided into two factions: one with Crown Prince Li Changnian and the other with Eldest Prince Li Qian; they are like fire and water.

Xiao Chen is precisely standing on the side of the Eldest Prince, irreconcilable with the Crown Prince Faction...

It shouldn’t be just because of the youngest daughter’s little grievances; Xiao Chen is not such an impulsive person!

Ye Yuan felt he was being overly worried~

Changzhou didn’t continue the conversation. The current situation in the court was not something he should disclose too much about, to avoid someone finding out Right Minister Shen’s weaknesses and attacking Ah Zhi.

The room fell silent for a moment.

With a hasty temperament, the Ye Family asked directly: "I’ll ask you once more: will you marry or not? If you don’t marry Xiao Chen, then go and look for another man; Mother has to be responsible for your life."

Ye Zhi was just about to say she wouldn’t marry when the latter part of the sentence stopped her from speaking.

She wasn’t willing to consider other men, for, in her heart, she liked the Little Traitor; she just hadn’t broken through that barrier.

Upon further thought, marrying Xiao Chen might not be bad; she could try to strut around Capital City. If he dared to wrong her in the future, they’d part ways in the martial world. Her Qinggong was unmatched; she was confident about leaving. Isn’t the most common trope in stories the runaway wife...

After a moment of realization, Ye Zhi couldn’t help but smile reassuringly: "Mother, I will marry. Please handle the arrangements and find someone to calculate an auspicious date for the wedding."

The crowd was astonished.

Ever since this little ancestor returned, she had been shouting that she wouldn’t marry, and now suddenly... she compromised...

The Ye Family was both surprised and delighted, thanking the ancestors of the Ye Family for the youngest daughter had thought things through. They quickly spoke out, wanting to persuade:
