Zhao Xi was eating sunflower seeds. "Wasn't it an arranged marriage?"

Li Wenxiu shook her head, her face full of desire to share, "I heard that at a banquet, Miss Li was pushed into the lake. She happened to meet some young gentlemen who were boating on the lake. She asked Li Wenxiu for help. Since the two families were related, Li Wenxiu saved her out of consideration. Afterwards, naturally, the Duchess noticed this girl and thought she was very good, so she sent someone to propose marriage."

Xiao Zhixing casually interjected, "Li Weining can swim, but she only called for help because she was exhausted after swimming far. When she was rescued, she said that Li Wenxiu did not need to take responsibility."

Moreover, Li Jun only went into the water to push her onto the boat, without touching her too much.

Oh, don't ask why the servants and guards weren't sent to rescue her. That would be an offense to the young lady and would create an enemy. If there had been an old woman there, she would have been the one to go in.

Li Weining was sensible and didn't press the matter further. She later sent generous gifts to express her gratitude, which ironically made Li's mother take a liking to her.

Suddenly, everyone looked at her.

Li Wenxiu leaned on her shoulder and said coquettishly, "Ah, Sister Zhixing, you really know everything! Tell me, tell me the details!"

Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "My mouth is dry and my shoulders are sore."

So some served her tea, others massaged her shoulders, allowing her to enjoy the bliss of being surrounded by beauties.

This aroused envy and jealousy among the viewers in the live stream.

Only then did she recount the events of that time to satisfy their gossip desires, and even Mu Wan and Feng Zhen'er listened intently.

They didn't care how she knew so much; the prince had men everywhere, so investigating something wouldn't be difficult.

Li Wenxiu snorted, "Such a good sister, Li Wenxiu is really lucky."

Hmph, first my cousin, then Miss Li, what good fortune!

Feng Zhen'er teased her, "Xiuxiu, if you were a man, you could also marry such a good girl."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the carriage smoothly came to a stop in front of the Duke of Li's mansion.

This was Xiao Zhixing's first time visiting Lifu openly and legitimately.

"Prince Yuansheng has arrived!"

The sect leader's servant immediately shouted at the top of his lungs to inform the master of the mansion that an important person had arrived.

Xiao Zhixing was the first to get off the car, and then helped Lin Rushu, Zhao Xianyin, Li Wenxiu, and Zhao Xi out in turn. The other two got off the car on their own, leaving those who were about to enter the door to watch in a strange way.

Who would have thought that Prince Yuansheng would be so approachable and down-to-earth in private?

"Oh my, a distinguished guest has arrived! A distinguished guest has arrived..."

Duke Li, accompanied by his family members, came out to greet them with a bright smile. "Your Highness's presence at my son's wedding is a great honor for my humble abode. Please, please come in."

Li Jun had already gone to fetch her bride, so she was naturally not there.

The group bowed to each other.

They didn't dare let them go to the backyard, knowing they might come, so they arranged for them to sit at the main table in the main hall, next to the other people in the Gentleman's Courtyard.

When they turned around, they found their elders on the other side. Everyone shrank back, obediently went to greet them, and then went to the backyard to see the female elders.

Xiao Zhixing naturally sat at the main table, where she was the most senior person and didn't need to meet anyone. She was accompanied by the Duke of Li and sat comfortably.

The family members, especially the young women, who heard the news in the backyard felt envious.

The Seven Heroines of the Great Sheng Dynasty are indeed extraordinary.

When Lin Rushu and her six friends arrived at the backyard, they were instantly overwhelmed by their close sisters.

Before him, Xiao Zhixing observed the guests. Even those civil and military officials who disagreed with each other had come to pay their respects; this was the most basic courtesy and etiquette.

Of course, mortal enemies are an exception.

She discovered that the Duke of Li had no enemies, and he could speak with all the officials in the court.

Xiao Zhixing sat there, his presence was strong, and everyone had to come and greet him, which made her feel helpless.

In the end, she became the busiest one.

Finally, the auspicious hour arrived, and Li Jun brought the bride over to begin the wedding ceremony.

With a smile on her face, Li Jun led the bride in with a red ribbon. It was impossible to tell whether she liked him or not, but the live broadcast room was filled with wails of despair. Their idol was getting married.

[Red comment: Wait, have you all forgotten Qi Mengshu? He's no longer a *man*, what are you all yelling about?]

This immediately drew a lot of criticism. Can't they just bury their heads in the sand?

Xiao Zhixing raised an eyebrow. Yes, Qi Mengshu has been locked up in that courtyard, lying in bed unable to move. I wonder what she's feeling right now?

After paying respects to Heaven and Earth and escorting the bride into the bridal chamber, Li Jun hurriedly came to pay his respects to her.

"I was flattered and surprised by your presence."

Xiao Zhixing smiled, "What, do you think I'm still holding a grudge?"

She's already avenged the minor grudges, but not the major ones yet. She can't just inexplicably go crazy targeting him just because he became emperor in the green dimension, can she?

That's a sign of a lack of self-confidence.

Although she did disagree with some of his actions, they were both respectable people, and there was no need for them to openly confront each other.

If she ever really wanted to kill him, she could do it with a smile, without anyone noticing.

The truly advanced method is to completely subdue him, to win his heart, and to make him willingly submit.

This person is indeed talented. If he becomes a minister in the future, he may not be 100% loyal, but he will still be a good minister.

Upon hearing this, Li Jun smiled wryly, "When I was young, I was arrogant and conceited, and I have wronged Your Highness. Thinking about it now, I feel quite ashamed."

After going down there, seeing all sorts of people, and encountering countless dangers, he realized that Xiao Zhixing was already being kind at that time.

If she were a petty person, she would have dealt with him and the Li family long ago.

For the past three years, he had been keeping an eye on her activities and naturally knew that she had the ability to manage the Li family.

Xiao Zhixing said nonchalantly, "I have already taken my revenge."

The two looked at Master Li, who had left the branch residence, and understood each other without saying a word.

They knew they might not be friends, but they wouldn't be enemies either.
