Chapter 1374: Heart's Desire

last a long time."Ding Hua nodded. "Miss, should we increase the number of earthen kiln rabbits and ducks tomorrow""No." An Xuetang refused without hesitation, "We've already reached a hundred at one...After hearing her young mistress's explanation, the elderly nanny was at a loss for words.

For a moment, she felt that what the young mistress had said made sense, but there was an indescribable feeling in her heart about such behavior.

Lady Hou didn't expect that many people would understand what she did, but after being slapped by her own husband today, she instantly felt no guilt about what she had done.

She even wondered, what else could men do besides taking their anger out on women sometimes

If it weren't for her today, this matter wouldn't have been resolved. The bad people forced her to do it. Although the Marquis tacitly approved, in order to show everyone that he still had a heart, he was still a good father. Didn't he also give her a slap to deceive his own conscience

In fact, he was the head of the household. If he hadn't agreed with her decision, how could she have succeeded today

In this house, he is the one with absolute power. As long as he truly objects, none of her decisions today will be realized.

So, men are just so hypocritical.

Xiaoqin lived a widowhood life after her husband's death, and she did not find it unpleasant.

With silver and freedom, how bad could life be

She had thought it all through. If she could no longer bear the rumors and gossip in the capital, she would simply sell all of Ye Mansion's assets after Ye Er's death and move to a safe and prosperous place to live a good life.

The more she thought about it, the more Madam Hou felt that her decision today was right. After making a scene at the Ye residence for half the day, she now relaxed and felt utterly exhausted.

She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, saying with a lack of energy, "Let's not talk about it. Until the Emperor's decree comes down, everything is still undecided. Let's just be patient and wait."

Today, she did everything she shouldn't have done. Even if she had done everything right, Second Master Ye might still not agree, or even if Second Master Ye agreed, the Emperor might not approve. It is all fate.

"Ma Ma hurriedly put down the bowl in her hand and went to help her young mistress, "Miss, since you're tired, then rest well first, everything will be alright."

"Hmm."

Mrs. Hou, supported by the nanny, rose and walked slowly towards the inner room.

......

But before Xiao Qin had settled into the inn, people from Bei Jiang Wangfu arrived.

An Xuetang was afraid that Xiao Qin wouldn't believe others, so she sent Kang'er out.

Having confirmed that the Northern Frontier Princess truly wanted her to stay at the Northern Frontier Prince's Mansion first, Xiaoqin's eyes welled up with tears. In the end, she didn't hesitate and, accompanied by Qingya, went to the Northern Frontier Prince's Mansion with Kang'er.

......

The two went into the palace and first went to Jingtang Garden to pay their respects to An Xue Tang.

An Xuetang looked at the faint palm print on her face and her slightly flushed eyes, sighing deeply.

The Azure Cloud Pavilion possesses most of the world's secrets, and their network of information is incredibly powerful. They are already aware of what happened at the Ye Residence today.

Before Xiaoqin arrived, she had already learned everything that happened between the Anle Hou Mansion and the Ye Mansion today.

But this was after all someone else's family business, and she wouldn't volunteer anything. If Xiaoqin wanted to vent, she would speak up. If she didn't want to talk about it, then she pretended not to know.

However, Xiaoqin might truly not have many friends to confide in. After meeting An Xuetang, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

After bowing to An Xuetang, as soon as An Xuetang let her sit down, she began to cry uncontrollably.

Shou'er and Kang'er looked at each other, seeing how wronged the child was.

They all already knew what happened to Xiaoqin, so they could understand her feelings now.

An Xuetang pursed her lips and let out a soft sigh, then stood up and walked to her side, stroking her head.

No one in the house spoke, allowing Xiaoqin to vent her anger.

I don't know how long it took, but Xiaoqin's crying had stopped. She calmed down and looked at everyone with embarrassment, looking at An Xuetang, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

An Xuetang rubbed her head, "It's nothing, don't mind it. We're not very good at comforting people anyway. You just need to remember one thing: in our Bei Jiang Wang Fu, we may not have much else, but there are plenty of empty courtyards. You can come live here anytime."

"These past few days, you moving in has been just right. Ever since my lord went out on campaign, apart from Ning'er and the others, there hasn't been anyone at home to chat with me."

"Now that you're moving in, I'll have someone to chat with every day."

After An Xuetang finished speaking, Shou'er immediately pretended to hum coldly and showed an extremely unhappy expression. She said in a loud "mumble", "What do you mean by that, Your Highness Are you saying we are boring and couldn't keep you company well"

"...."

An Xuetang gave her a speechless glance. "You're so talkative,"

Everyone smiled with joy at Shou'er’s words, as the oppressive atmosphere brought by Xiaoqin instantly lifted.

Xiao Qin couldn't help but smile, but she was still very uneasy at this moment.

She looked at An Xuetang as if she wanted to say something but held back. After struggling for a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind and blurted out, "Your Highness, I'm so sorry... I... I might still marry Ye Er and enter the Ye residence."

"I know," An Xuetang replied, raising an eyebrow.

"Huh"

Xiao Qin was a little confused. This incident had only just happened, so it shouldn't have spread this quickly, right

How did the princess find out

An Xuetang saw her confusion and didn't explain about the Qingyun Pavilion, she just said, "Actually, someone told me that Ye Er was staying at the inn and he asked me to help you. You are a woman traveling with only one maidservant, and he was worried, so he asked me to do this favor."

I see.

Xiao Qin's cold heart stirred slightly.

She truly didn't expect that Ye Er would do this much for her, and even beg the North Border Princess for her.

Before this, she had naively thought it was… her parents who were always worried about her living in an inn alone, that they had begged the Princess of Beijang for help.

She really didn't expect the person who truly went to plead for her would be Ye Er.

Why would he...do this for her

Him to her

Seeing the ever-changing expression on Xiao Qin's face, An Xue Tang guessed her thoughts roughly. An Xue Tang, who has always disliked dragging things out in matters of the heart, went straight to the point:

"Ye Er has a crush on you, anyone can see that. That's why your mother dared to use you to help your two older brothers."

"!!"

Xiao Qin's eyes widened in surprise, what was the princess saying

Does Ye'er have feelings for her Which one of them Who is she Could it really be Xiaoqin

How is that possible!

She and Ye Er once had a betrothal, but the circumstances surrounding it were such that during their engagement, they hardly ever saw each other.

How could he possibly have feelings for himself

Did the queen misunderstand something had to find out what misunderstandings the crown prince had about their princess.The Four Clouds took Six Clouds away, leaving Ink Cloud Scene alone to calm down.An Xuetang also arrived in the evenin...
