Poisonous gas permeated Guanju Courtyard, and layers of murderous aura gradually filled the courtyard. However, at this time, the front courtyard of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and even the area outside the main gate, were extremely lively.

Dongbai summoned all the local people he could.

Besides ordinary people scrambling to get ahead, there were also old women, maids, and servants from large families trying to push their way forward, hoping to get the latest and most accurate information to tell their masters.

Their master also loves a good show.

The old lady could no longer sit still. She stood up and questioned Ye Qingxue in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?"

Yun Chi was also very dissatisfied with Ye Qingxue's actions and wanted to stop her: "Miss Ye has already agreed to marry General Han. She is afraid that General Han will go back on his word, so she called many people to witness it."

"There's no need for such trouble. I will stand up for you. If General Han goes back on his word, I will certainly punish him according to military law!"

There was a hint of anger in Yun Chi's eyes.

Ye Qingxue met his gaze without fear: "I want to verify for myself whether His Highness Prince Ding's visit today to deliver my husband was out of kindness or to humiliate me!"

When his plan was exposed, Yun Chi was shocked and immediately became furious: "What good does it do me to humiliate you? Do you think General Han is not good enough for you?"

The old lady stepped forward and angrily rebuked her: "Qingxue, standing before you is His Highness Prince Ding! How dare you doubt His Highness's good intentions? Kneel down and admit your mistake!"

Kneeling down to admit her mistake again, Ye Qingxue sneered. Can't the people of the Marquis's mansion have any other novel requests?

She ignored the old lady and instead asked Yun Chi, "What, does His Highness Prince Ding not dare to let me verify? If you can prove that the Prince is kind to me, then you can easily win the hearts of the people. Why doesn't the Prince dare? Is he guilty?"

A provocation! Although Yun Chi realized it was a provocation, he also realized that he was damned to fall for it!

Moreover, he couldn't understand how Ye Qingxue could possibly verify whether his intentions were good or humiliating, by summoning so many people.

Yun Chi gritted his teeth and said, "I broke off the engagement before, which made you resent me. Today, you don't believe my sincerity, and I don't blame you. Since you want to verify it, then go and verify it. I will cooperate with you in the whole process!"

"Alright, everyone, please follow me!"

After Ye Qingxue finished speaking, she strode towards the front hall.

Yun Chi was at the prime of his life, and without hesitation, he followed after her.

The old lady quickly followed.

The guards, maids, and servants followed closely behind their masters, protecting them at all times.

After passing through the hanging flower gate and leaving the courtyard, Ye Qingxue specially invited Han Dingbian to stand with her at the main gate!

The area outside the Marquis's mansion was already packed with people.

Ye Qingxue stood under the lintel, facing the crowd of people outside.

Dongbai stood in front of her to protect her.

Han Dingbian stood to her right.

Ye Qingxue cleared her throat and said, "Hello everyone, I am the eldest daughter of the Ye family. I would like to greet you all."

The people did return the greetings, but it wasn't uniform; the whole thing dragged on for half a day.

Ye Qingxue didn't have to wait long before saying directly, "As you all probably already know from the past two days, I was originally engaged to His Highness Prince Ding, but Prince Ding and my sister are in love with each other, so he broke off my engagement!"

From the common people outside the gate to Han Dingbian at the main entrance, and then to Prince Ding and the old lady in the courtyard, everyone was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingxue, as a woman and the person involved, would directly tell the public about being jilted!

Yun Chi felt a surge of anger: Ye Qingxue is really shameless, actually saying such things in public. What exactly does this bitch want to do?

Ye Qingxue: "Therefore, His Highness Prince Ding has always felt guilty towards me. Knowing that I am getting old, he personally brought General Han to my door to ask for my hand in marriage, hoping that I could marry into a good family!"

Hmm? Although Yun Chi had some doubts, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Ye Qingxue couldn't find any evidence to prove that his visit was an insult.

Han Dingbian immediately bowed to the people!

The people immediately started talking about it, saying that General Han fought on the battlefield and protected the country, so choosing him as a husband wouldn't be bad.

The fact that Prince Ding chose General Han as Ye Qingxue's husband shows that he truly cared for Ye Qingxue.

However, some people were saying that Ye Qingxue had a cool and noble temperament, while General Han was too rough and uncouth, and the two of them were not a good match.

They also said that delicate flowers need gentle care, and that Ye Qingxue might wither easily after marrying into the Han family.

Yun Chi smiled. This mismatch was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to humiliate Ye Qingxue. He wanted this "delicate flower" to wither in Han Dingbian's raging sandstorm.

A woman follows her husband after marriage.

Han Dingbian was one of his men, and he was incredibly strong and skilled in martial arts. If Ye Qingxue married into the Han family, it would be easy for him to have Han Dingbian kill her.

At that time, he made Ye Qingxue wish she were dead.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never seen anyone who dared to offend him or make him suffer a setback still alive and well.

The old lady smiled to herself. It didn't matter if outsiders said they were not a good match, as long as Ye Qingxue agreed.

Now that Ye Qingxue has taken the initiative to announce this matter, the marriage is settled, and Ye Qingxue will have no choice but to accept it later.

She needed to get the Han family to determine the earliest possible date so that Ye Qingxue could be married off as quickly as possible.

Ye Qingxue's voice rang out again: "What's even more commendable is that both Prince Ding and General Han claimed that after General Han heard about my meritorious deeds in capturing corrupt officials, he was pleased with me, which is why he specially came to propose marriage!"

Han Dingbian smiled faintly and nodded slightly, acknowledging Ye Qingxue's statement.

He also said, "I sincerely wish to marry Miss Ye. It would be my great fortune to win her favor."

Ye Qingxue suddenly smiled, but her smile was icy.

She then changed the subject: "General Han, there's no need to be so polite. I haven't accepted your marriage proposal yet. His Highness Prince Ding said that to make up for what he owes me, he will find me a good man to marry."

He said that you are skilled in both literature and martial arts, and that you are fond of me. Then I need to confirm whether you are truly a man of both literary and martial talents, and whether you are truly fond of me.

Han Dingbian frowned. Was she really going to do that? What a foolish woman! What good could come of offending Prince Ding?

Han Dingbian's smile vanished, replaced by a fierce and menacing look that was quite frightening.

If it were any other young ladies, those who were less timid, they might have been so frightened by his expression that they couldn't even speak properly. Unfortunately, the person standing in front of him was Ye Qingxue.

He asked, "How does Miss Ye plan to finalize this?"

Han Dingbian's deep gaze towards Ye Qingxue already contained a strong warning: Don't court death.

Ye Qingxue seemed oblivious: "It's very simple, I'll just ask General Han a few questions."

Han Dingbian almost laughed. Could asking him a few questions really verify His Highness Prince Ding's purpose?

She is absolutely ridiculous.
