After Qin Ye finished his meal and passed by the garden, he saw Ling Qianyi chasing Yun Ying to get married.

"Yun Ying, I like you, and you like me too, right? Let's get married today!"

"I've already asked someone to order a wedding dress!"

"Yun Ying, just promise me!"

Yunying ran and Ling Qianyi chased after her.

Qin Ye held his forehead with his hand. It's been half an hour, and you're still persisting?

Seeing Yunying running away, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Ling Qianyi, "Okay, that's enough. Don't scare Yunying away. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"Aunt, I must marry her!"

And as soon as possible, right away, his heart is firm, his love is firm, he wants to prove it to Yunying.

Qin Ye smiled. "You are not in a hurry now, but you suddenly brought it up today. Isn't this a surprise attack? We are not mentally prepared, let alone Yun Ying."

How can such a big event as getting married be prepared in just one or two days?

"Besides, have you asked your parents?"

Having said that, Ling Qianyi's eyes suddenly dimmed, his aura became heavier, and his entire face became gloomy.

Qin Ye immediately realized something was wrong.

He has always been carefree, cheerful and free-spirited, and would never show such a serious expression.

"What's going on?" She held him tightly, "Your parents...don't agree?"

Ling Qianyi's eyes darkened again, and something seemed to be choking in his throat, making him unable to speak due to the pain.

a long time.

Then he spoke hoarsely: "Aunt..."

Because of the Gu family.

Although he is usually nonchalant, he understands everything he should understand. He knows that he is the only son of Marquis Dingguo and has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He cannot put down the burden of the Gu family and must take it up.

But he was unwilling to give up.

He didn't want to give in just like that. He had to fight for the person he loved.

He wanted to marry Yunying as soon as possible to put his mind at ease. After this matter was finalized, he would go and deal with the Gu family.

After Qin Ye heard this, he was silent for a long time.

She overlooked one thing.

Nowadays, many people pay attention to the matching of family backgrounds, not to mention the feudal ancient times? Even if Dingguo Hou can accept Yunying, how can the daughter of the Gu family be willing to lose to Yunying?

She said nothing and returned to Hanfeng Courtyard.

Go inside.

Looking at Zong Zhengchen, he asked, "Is the Gu family really that powerful?"

Zong Zhengchen had just opened the book and was about to take a look when he heard her words and guessed that it was related to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, that is, to Ling Qianyi.

"Ling Qianyi has been engaged to the daughter of the Gu family since childhood."

He said: "The cold weapons and pig iron in the hands of the Gu family account for 70% of Dongling Kingdom, and they have a long-term trading relationship with the royal family. They are richer than ordinary merchants and hold real power."

With weapons in hand, your fists will be stronger.

Therefore, Marquis Dingguo was unwilling to offend the Gu family for the sake of Yunying, an insignificant little girl.

But, if lovers cannot be together...

This is a matter of great importance to the country and the family. Qin Ye cannot neglect the country and the family because of emotional matters. However, on the other hand, how could the country put such important property rights of cold weapons in the hands of the Gu family?

If the Gu family becomes disloyal and colludes with outsiders, won’t they be doomed?

Qin Ye was puzzled: "Why doesn't iron belong to the royal family?"

"It seems that the previous generation before that, the ancestors of the Gu family were good friends with the previous previous emperor, and they even saved him. They were friends for life, and since then they have given up their power. The current queen also has the surname Gu."

"As the saying goes, a great man's achievements overshadow his master, and a tall tree attracts the wind. With the cold weapons in the hands of the Gu family, can the emperor sleep soundly at night?"

Zong Zhengchen pondered and said:

"In recent years, the Gu family has become more and more arrogant. Relying on the merits of their ancestors, they are fearless and domineering. The people have long been complaining. The emperor has always wanted to suppress them, but the Gu family's century-old foundation is deeply rooted and it is difficult to suppress them."

"If you can't suppress it, then eradicate it."

"What Ye'er means is..."

"I don't want my Yunying to be a concubine. I can't let her suffer any injustice."
