Fu Yi let out a cry, unable to respond to her words, and his mood became irritated.

Let him get married quickly to fulfill his parents' wishes?

Why does the mother have to sacrifice one person in order to reunite with her family?

He didn't even know where the girl he liked was. He just wanted to be with his sister and make up for the hurt and debt he had caused her.

Ye Wanqing turned her head and asked Fu Yi, who was sitting next to her, curiously: "Brother, do you have a girl you like in the Southern Territory?"

"Uh, no." Fu Yi shook his head.

"But you're already twenty-one, and your mother hasn't arranged for you to meet a girl?"

Fu Yi answered truthfully, "Well... yes, I do, but I'm usually quite busy, and those girls are not as pretty and outstanding as my sister."

"How about you meet some girls from Beijing?" Ye Wanqing stroked her chin and said, "Well...how about Liu Zhang's sister?"

At this moment, Liu Zhang and Murong Yan entered the courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion. When they heard Ye Wanqing talking about Liu Zhang, Murong Yan asked, "What are you talking about?"

When Ye Wanqing saw Murong Yan, a smile immediately appeared on her face. She stood up and went to greet him.

Murong Yan didn't dare let her walk any further, so he quickly strode forward, held her arm, and asked gently, "What happened to County Master Liu?"

Ye Wanqing replied: "Yes, I want to find a girl for my elder brother."

Murong Yan avoided Liu Zhang and whispered, "County Lady Liu isn't suitable. She's too aggressive. Have you forgotten that she beat you until you cried?"

"Your Highness," Liu Zhang said with disdain, "I can hear you."

He then glanced around, as if searching for A Rao. After searching for a while and not seeing her, he said to Ye Wanqing, "My sister is indeed a bit willful and unreasonable. I'm afraid she's not really suitable for Master Fu."

Ye Wanqing was immediately angry when she heard this and accused: "You are her biological brother, how can you say that to her."

Fu Yi came over and chimed in, "Since Xu'er thinks it's appropriate, let's meet another day. Sir Liu, thank you for your help."

"Mr. Fu, you are too polite." Liu Zhang had to agree as it was difficult to refuse, but he hurriedly asked about A Rao's whereabouts.

"He went out early in the morning, probably to buy something." Ye Wanqing saw him holding the Zhihezhai paper bag in his hand and smiled knowingly, "You come to coax my A Rao again, you are so thoughtful."

Murong Yan, who was standing aside, suddenly panicked. He had rushed over from the general's mansion and was interrupted by Liu Zhang on the way, so he was not prepared at all.

He pulled a jade plaque with a dark copper edge from his pocket and shyly handed it to Ye Wanqing. "I left in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts for you. I'll give this to you."

Ye Wanqing took the jade token, looked through it, and asked in confusion, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly give me this?"

Murong Yan scratched his head and said guiltily, "I'll give it to you sooner or later anyway."

Liu Zhang sighed slightly and quickly interrupted to ask, "Miss Jiang Rao went to the street. Did she go alone? Was there anyone with her?"

"Don't worry, with your mother-in-law and the guards of the Marquis' Mansion accompanying you, nothing will happen."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhang immediately revealed a delighted smile, "So, President Fu agrees to my marriage with Miss Jiang Rao?"

Fu Yi reminded him, "Don't be too proud too soon. My mother only agreed to your relationship. The specific marriage will depend on your performance."

"Then I will go back home to prepare something. Please bring this to Miss Jiang." Liu Zhang placed the package of osmanthus cake on the table in a carefree mood, his tone full of unconcealed joy. After that, he said goodbye and left.

Ye Wanqing and Fu Yi looked at each other, bewildered. "Did he misunderstand what I meant?"

"Didn't I make myself clear?" Fu Yi spread his hands.

"He went to ask Qianqian out for you, right?"

"Qianqian? Are you on good terms with County Master Liu? Didn't she beat you up and make you cry last time?"

Ye Wanqing asked blankly, "Ah? When?"

"That time at the General's Mansion."

"I don't even remember."

"You only remember to eat, not to be beaten." Fu Yi doted on her forehead and said, "Okay, big brother has things to do, so I won't disturb you two from talking privately."

Murong Yan looked at Fu Yi gratefully and almost blurted out "Thank you, brother-in-law".

Fu Yi glanced at Murong Yan and left the waterfront corridor of the courtyard.

Murong Yan helped Ye Wanqing sit by the railing and told her the recent news about Ye Fan. After Ye Qingshan's death, Ye Fan had repeatedly been dissatisfied with the verdict and joined forces with several old friends of General Ye to ask for an audience with His Majesty to request a retrial.

Fortunately, the matter was suppressed by him and Liu Zhang.

Murong Yan was also puzzled. It was obvious that a detailed investigation would bring considerable trouble to the General's Mansion, so why did Ye Fan insist on investigating the case in detail?

Is it true that he is unaware?

But he did attack his little cousin and Qingqing in the alley, and the crime of attacking the prince would not be a small one.

"Liu Zhang and I went to the General's Mansion today. Commander Ye's body has been buried, but we didn't see General Ye. I don't know where he went."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but worry, "We can't let him see your father. If this matter is thoroughly investigated, the General's Mansion will definitely be implicated. How could he be so foolish?"

"Don't worry, I will find a way to have a face-to-face meeting with him and persuade him to stop."

Ye Wanqing nodded, whispered "please", and became uneasy again.

Murong Yan gently hugged her and stroked her back to soothe her. "Alright, let's talk about our business. I heard this morning that Lord Chen and Aunt Fu met with my father. How did you convince Aunt Fu?"
