Wang Jingshuo's words were full of schadenfreude, as if he were watching a good show.

They brought up Su Yanwan again, but none of the three paid her any attention.

Yin Yue continued what she hadn't had time to say, "In Su's carriage was Xiao, who personally escorted Su to the nunnery outside the city."

"I've inquired and learned that Madam Su has already been divorced by the Li family. However, the Li family wants to save face, so they've instructed Madam Su to publicly announce that she voluntarily withdrew. I expect the Li family will release this news soon."

"The Li family divorced Su at this time?"

Ye Zhen's eyes showed some confusion.

According to Madam Shen, Li Heng cares a great deal about his reputation. He didn't let Li Chenghai divorce Su Shi earlier because he didn't want to admit that Su Shi had cheated on him. He will probably wait until the storm has passed before letting Su Shi die.

But now they've suddenly sent Ms. Su to a nunnery...

Ye Zhen thought of something and instructed, "Try to contact Madam Shen and ask about Xie Jinyao's situation."

"You suspect that Xie Jinyao is pregnant and the Li family wants to make her their official wife?"

Xie Tingzhou guessed that if Li Heng was capable of giving birth, there should be news by now.

Ye Zhen nodded.

"Since Li Heng has decided to have a child with Xie Jinyao, he probably doesn't want his child to bear the name of Li Chenghai's illegitimate son. I'm afraid that he divorced Su Shi to make room for Xie Jinyao."

Make Xie Jinyao's child Li Chenghai's legitimate son and daughter.

Xie Tingzhou agreed with Ye Zhen's idea and added, "No wonder the Su siblings said that it was Li Heng's idea to let Su Yanwan get close to me."

Li Heng wanted to save face, but he was also afraid the Su family wouldn't cooperate, so he offered his position as Crown Princess to the Su family as a favor.

Oh!

That's incredibly audacious; they even dared to act against their master.

Outside the courtyard, Wang Jingshuo was still shouting, "Su Yanwan is here! She's right at the gate of the Marquis's mansion, crying and looking like she's been abandoned. Your Highness, if you don't deal with this soon, you'll become a heartless man who starts something and then abandons it."

Xie Tingzhou said to Ye Zhen, "You get some rest. I'll go take care of things first and come see you again tonight."

He had only taken two steps when, as if remembering something, he asked again, "When will Master return? I've asked Mother to come to the Marquis's mansion to propose marriage on my behalf. Should I ask Master's opinion first?"

Ye Zhen said, "I will write to my master. She has already approved of you and will not have any objections."

When she gets married, her master will definitely come back in time. Right now, she wants to see her old friends, so Ye Zhen doesn't want her to travel back and forth.

Xie Tingzhou knew that Yin Jiuniang would not be returning anytime soon, so he said, "Could I write a letter to Master myself, and you can send it out for me at the same time?"

Ye Zhen smiled, "Alright."

Master will be very happy.

Whether it was the sweetness of talking about marriage or being dazzled by Ye Zhen's smile, Xie Tingzhou went back and held her arm.

"I seem to have forgotten to ask you, would you be willing to be my wife and spend the rest of your life with me, just the two of us, with no one else in the harem?"

For the first time, Yin Yue felt that she was so lacking in tact.

She shouldn't be inside; she should be outside.

For now, I can only hold my breath and treat myself as a decoration in the room, hoping not to disturb my two masters.

ah?

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment.

After she and Xie Tingzhou realized their feelings for each other, she never thought about marrying someone else. She thought that getting married to Xie Tingzhou was a natural thing, so she never thought that she needed to ask him about it.

She was willing.

But what came out of her mouth was, "What if you don't want to?"

After saying that, she wanted to slap herself. Her mouth didn't follow her heart; she was too opinionated.

Or perhaps she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, thinking that if she answered readily, she wouldn't be so reserved.

Xie Tingzhou looked down at her with a smile, his nose almost touching hers, and whispered, "Then I'll coax you until you're willing."

Ye Zhen's heart started pounding.

"How...how do I coax her?"

"I'll do whatever you want to coax me. My body, my soul, everything I have is yours."

Yin Yue, "..."

Is it too late to sneak out now?

She was about to burst.

Ye Zhen hadn't forgotten that Yin Yue was still there. Her face flushed slightly, and she pushed Xie Tingzhou away, using her strength to cover up her shyness.

"You are naturally mine. If you dare not marry me, I'll smash your head in."

This made Xie Tingzhou laugh heartily, "Yes, I can only be yours."

He liked Ye Zhen's possessiveness towards him and also wanted to kiss her.

But no matter how hard the moon-drinking figurine tries to hold its breath, it is still a living person, and it doesn't have the habit of letting outsiders see its intimate moments with its wife.

He could only regretfully rub Ye Zhen's face with his thumb, "I'm leaving."

If they don't leave now, Ye Zhenzhen will lose a formidable general.

As he stepped out of the door, Yin Yue gasped for breath, feeling that she had spoiled the mood of her two masters, and wanted to leave the room apologetically.

But Ye Zhen grabbed her arm and said to her happily, "Yinyue, I'm going to have another family member."

Yinyue was also happy for her, "What would you like to eat, Miss? I'll have Wanxing make it for you."

She's good at fighting, but not so good at cooking.

"Or I can buy it for you."

The young lady had few family ties; she grew up alone until the age of six, after which she had a master, General Ye, and Wanxing.

But none of them could really be considered Miss's true relatives, and although General Ye was, he was absent.

Yinyue hopes that Miss will be happy for the rest of her life, and that the Crown Prince can make up for the regret of Miss's lack of family ties.

but.

“Miss, if the young master treats you badly or bullies you in the future, your servant and Wanxing will help you beat him up.”

Who cares about the Emperor or the Emperor? Miss is the most important person. If anyone makes Miss unhappy, she and Wanxing will risk their lives to avenge her.

Naturally, she felt that the Crown Prince was not that kind of person, but her master had also said that people's hearts are unpredictable and feelings are fickle.

Her untimely words were simply meant to let the young lady know that she also had powerful backers.
