As soon as she said this, Luo Lan hurriedly turned around. When she saw Luo Xue standing behind her, she strode up to her and shook her head to comfort her:

"Xue, don't be afraid. I'm here for you. I'll take care of everything for you. You can go back first."

Luo Xue smiled and said to Luo Lan:

"Sister, Leng Ming is Prince Ming of the Great Ning Kingdom. After I marry him, I will at least be his wife. Although I don't have much power, I will have enough food and clothing. It won't be a sacrifice for me to marry him."

"But……"

Seeing that Luo Xue agreed to marry her so easily, Leng Ming changed his arrogant attitude and raised one hand humbly, swearing, and said flatteringly:

"Luo Xue, I, Leng Ming, swear that if you are willing to marry me, I will treat you well for the rest of my life and I promise not to treat you unfairly."

Luo Xue looked at him coldly and snorted in disdain.

"In that case, Prince Ming should go and ask the Emperor for permission..."

"Okay, okay, I'll keep the betrothal gifts and the betrothal money. I'll go find my father now."

After saying this, Leng Ming ran towards the door in a panic as if he had found a great bargain.

"Wait a minute..."

Luo Lan wanted to call Leng Ming, but was stopped by Luo Xue.

"Sister, let him go!"

Seeing Leng Ming leave, Luo Lan turned around and looked at her with puzzled and anxious eyes.

"Xue, I know you feel wronged, but you can't agree to marry him. Judging from this incident, he's not a good person. Maybe he'll do something even more vicious in the future."

"I know."

Luo Xue lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

"Sister, I know everything, but what choice do I have now? If I don't agree to marry him, didn't you see that just now? He's already showing a posture of burning himself to death. I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid that if this gets out, people will point fingers at Dad and Mom, and I'm also afraid that you and your brother-in-law will be implicated. I've thought it through. Instead of letting things get to the point where they can't be resolved, it's better to marry him openly. That way, everyone can save face."

"But...but you are doing yourself too much harm."

Luo Xue smiled calmly.

"No, I don't feel wronged. No matter what kind of person he is, I believe he won't treat me too badly. Besides, how can marrying Prince Ming and becoming his concubine be considered wronged?"

"Xue'er, no matter what, I don't agree with you marrying her. You have a better future ahead of you. Don't waste your precious time on him."

"Sister, I will make the decision on this matter myself. Please don't interfere. Besides, what happened last night has already happened. I only have two choices now: marry him or die. Which one do you want me to choose?"

Luo Lan held her in his arms distressedly, patted her back, and comforted her with an apologetic tone:

"I'm sorry for you. I didn't protect you well. I'm sorry."

"This is not your fault. This is my fate. It's my destiny. I don't blame anyone."

"Xue, I don't want to see you get wronged, but I don't know what to do."

Luo Xue bit her lips tightly, stood up from Luo Lan, forced a smile and looked at her, gently shook her head and smiled:

"Sister, I am marrying Leng Ming of my own free will. Otherwise, in this Daning Kingdom, which other young man has such a high status as him? If I marry him, I won't leave the capital. I can see you often and go back to my parents' home often. Isn't this a good thing? Don't feel wronged by me. I don't feel wronged at all, really."

Luo Xue didn't want to see her sister worrying about her, so she held back the tears that were about to burst out and forced out an ugly smile.

Luo Lan knew what she was thinking. She must have thought about it for a long time before she could say such words.

But she didn't dare to stop him. She was afraid that Leng Ming would make a big deal out of what happened last night. Then Luo Xue would be unable to get over it and do something stupid. She would really regret it.

Are we going to let Luo Xue marry Leng Ming out of grievance?

When she thought of this, she always felt uncomfortable.

In the evening, Leng Yu came back very late and she waited for him in the room.

Hearing Leng Yu opening the door, she stood up and went to greet him.

"Husband, you're back so late?"

Leng Yu let her help him take off his coat and replied:

"I've been busy today and have been delayed for a while. Why aren't you sleeping yet, my lady?"

"I can't sleep. By the way, how's the investigation going into what happened last night?"

Leng Yu came to the table and sat down. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. He shook his head and sighed:

"There's no evidence to prove it."

"What do you mean?"

"Someone saw the person who shouted last night, but he drowned in the pond. The person who delivered the message to me and that person must be the same person. I originally planned to report this matter directly to the emperor and then bring Leng Ming out to question him. However, I thought that if the emperor knew about this, it would inevitably involve what happened in Qingyu Garden yesterday. So, I don't know what to do, so I thought I would come back to discuss it with you."

"Don't check anymore."

Luo Lan shook her head weakly, a deep look emerging from her eyes.

Leng Yu asked in confusion:

“Why don’t you check it?”

"Leng Ming came to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage."

"What?"

Leng Yu stood up from the chair and looked at her angrily.

"He dares to propose marriage? Did your father kick him out?"

"Dad wasn't here at the time, and he didn't know about it either. The most important thing is that Luo Xue agreed."

Agreed?

Leng Yu looked at her as if she didn't understand.
