When she was getting excited, she suddenly changed the subject, tears welling up in her eyes: But not only am I not a man, I'm also a bastard who is so shameful.

My status is so low that I can’t help you even if I want to. How can I have the face to call you my friend!

As he spoke, he began to sound ashamed and angry.

Dugu Yu, that blockhead, is loyal and upright to Ling Jingxuan, and loves Lin Xiafeng but cannot express it. How can he not stand up and do everything he can to help them solve their problems!

You are not a man, so you cannot marry Miss Qin San, but I can. From now on, you must never belittle yourself and say that you are good for nothing!

Lin Xiafeng was filled with gratitude and thanked Dugu Yu again and again on behalf of Prince Duan, which made Dugu Yu's heart bleed.

He was willing to marry Qin Qingyao only because he didn't want Lin Xiafeng to look down on him, and he wanted to let Lin Xiafeng know that he was definitely a good friend who would go through fire and water for her, that's all.

Being so humble, he didn't even think of asking why His Royal Highness Prince Duan couldn't marry Qin Qingyao himself?

As the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, she is qualified enough to marry Prince Duan as his principal wife!

After Dugu Yu repeatedly assured her that he would never go back on his word, would never force anything, and would have absolutely no regrets, Lin Xiafeng was coaxed into laughing and walked briskly back to claim credit from Prince Duan!

…

King Wu Ling was a man of his word. He would not go back on his word since he had promised Lin Xiafeng that he would marry Qin Qingyao, so he acted flawlessly in the face of his future father-in-law's temptations.

Minister Qin became more and more satisfied with him the more he looked at him!

He looked at Dugu Yu as if he were his future son-in-law, with such gentleness and eagerness that Dugu Yu felt unfamiliar and unworthy.

He only married the Third Miss Qin in order to take advantage of the Qin family, but Lord Qin gave him the feeling that he was very satisfied with this marriage and looked at him as if he were a family member.

Family? Dugu Yu laughed at himself. In this world, apart from Lin Xiafeng, who didn't think he was a monster born with evil and sinful nature, how could anyone be willing to treat him as family?

After a moment of trance, Dugu Yu put on a serious face again and said, "Keep away from me, strangers!"

But deep down in his heart, he was indeed a little curious. What did Qin Qingyao say to her father that made Lord Qin suddenly treat him like this?

Qin Qingyao slept with her mother that night. Before going to bed, in addition to hearing her mother's teachings about her upcoming bride, she also told her mother to be wary of Aunt Pan.

That woman has bad intentions. She will try to sow discord between them by making her stay away from the illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion!

When Mrs. Qin saw that her daughter finally saw Aunt Pan’s true face, she was so happy that she almost cried.

Before, this girl protected Aunt Pan and was not close to her own mother. She didn't know how many times she had wiped away her tears.

"After all, she's going to marry someone else and become his wife. Our Yao'er has really grown up!"

"Of course, mother, don't worry. I will bring my husband with me to be filial to you and father in the future!"

"Pfft, you little girl, your father said you hated getting married, I didn't believe it, but it turns out to be true!"

Qin Qingyao hugged her mother and acted coquettishly in her arms.

It’s so nice to have a family like this. I really want to share it with my husband soon!

The next day, Qin Qingyao felt so bored in the mansion that she insisted on leaving. She couldn't wait to see what the world here was like.

But she hasn't found a servant to take care of her yet. How can a young girl go out without servants?

Qin Yuelin saw that his sister was depressed, and as a good brother who had regained his sister's trust yesterday, he wanted to show off.

"How about I take you out to play, but you have to be obedient and not run around!"

"Okay, okay!"

Mrs. Qin's face suddenly became serious. "Oh no! Do you think we're still in childhood? One of the siblings has already started a family, and the other is about to get married, yet they're still so unstable!"

Qin Qingyao walked over, hugged her mother's arm and started to act coquettishly, "Mom, please let me be willful again. I'm just going out for a walk with my brother. I'm not doing anything bad!"

"I'm going to marry into someone else's family and become a daughter-in-law. I might not be able to go out all year round. How miserable that would be. Before I get married, let me satisfy my curiosity and look around!"

Mrs. Qin felt heartbroken when she imagined her precious daughter trapped in the small house, unable to go out more than a few times a year.

"Alright, alright, you poor thing, go out and have fun with your brother. If you see anything you like, just buy it and bring it over when the time comes!"

Then he turned to his son and said sternly, "Keep a good eye on your sister. If anything goes wrong, you'll be punished when you come back!"

Qin Yuelin had long been accustomed to the shameless partiality of his family members, and happily prepared to go out with his sister.

Qin Qingyao had no idea what the outside world was like. In order to avoid causing any trouble and giving King Wu Ling a bad impression, she changed into Xiao Si's coarse cloth clothes and followed her third brother as a little follower.

The third brother saw her with her hair combed into a servant's bun and walking like a man with a chubby figure, and he couldn't help laughing the whole way.
