When the Ding family arrived, they saw a pool of rotten meat and a head that was no longer recognizable.
A quick look frightened them so much that they immediately set fire to the house. Although the bodies were burned, they did not dare to go back to live there.
Coincidentally, at this time, the emperor issued an edict to promote Ding Chengye to the position of Minister of War.
Seeing that Ding Chengye had become a high-ranking official, the Ding family was worried that he would take revenge in the future, so they simply gave the main courtyard to Ding Chengye's family and moved to another courtyard.
Ding Chengye did not refuse, but the yard needed to be renovated, so they still lived in the original side yard.
After this incident, Ding Chengye was very satisfied with both Xiao Qingyi and Xiao Huaizheng, but he didn't know which one his daughter liked?
When I returned home, my wife mentioned that the queen asked about her daughter's age and marriage.
Ding Chengye asked, "Do you think it will be Prince Jing?"
Madam Ding said, "That's what I'm worried about, because I think Sihui prefers the Prince of Ding, Xiao Qingyi."
Hearing this, Ding Chengye thought of Princess Ding's extraordinaryness and the emperor's blind faith in her, and said, "Isn't that better?"
Mrs. Ding was surprised and asked, "How can it be better?"
"If the brothers quarreled, and a rift arose between the Queen and Princess Ding, the Queen Mother would definitely take her anger out on Sihui."
Ding Chengye said, "You're being too cautious. Our daughter is ours anyway, and Princess Ding isn't one to suffer in silence. Why not wait and see?"
"If Princess Ding sends someone to propose marriage, you can just agree to it."
Mrs. Ding asked doubtfully, "Will it be so smooth?"
Lord Ding said, "It won't be that smooth. Sihui's great-aunt just passed away, so the wedding will definitely have to be held next year.
"But if Princess Ding is interested in arranging marriages for the two children, it would be fine for us to agree."
Seeing that her husband was very confident in his words, as if he knew some inside information, Mrs. Ding gradually calmed down.
In the palace.
When Lin Yue saw Xiao Qingyi, she found that his entire aura had changed. He became calmer and more composed, and there was a touch of nobility between his brows that could not be ignored.
[Wow, I took the force pills before and didn't see any difference. Could it be that the effect is different for men and women?]
[So, has Xiao Jingyun also changed his aura? ]
Just when she was suspicious, Xiao Qingyi, who originally wanted to tell her the truth, suddenly restrained himself.
After all, my father also needs to save face. Instead of letting my mother know that he took beauty pills, it is better to go with the flow and let my mother think that it was the effect of the strength pills.
In this way, my father's face should be saved, right?
[Dear father, this is the most filial thing I can do for you! ]
Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyi decided to keep the secret.
He just rubbed his fingers and turned to talk about his own affairs.
"Mother... Yesterday Sihui accidentally bit me and kissed me..."
"I think……"
Lin Yue's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "I bit you and kissed you accidentally? And it was all done by accident???"
Xiao Qingyi blushed and explained, "It was indeed an accident. At that time..."
Lin Yue raised her hand to stop him from continuing, and said, "That's not important anymore. I understand what you mean, and I have no objections, absolutely none."
"You can prepare wild geese or betrothal gifts, and Mother will be happy to arrange it for you. But don't you need to ask Sihui if she is willing?"
Xiao Qingyi took a deep breath nervously. He didn't dare to ask... but he wanted to.
This is really confusing.
Lin Yue said: "Girls like brave men, don't be a coward."
Xiao Qingyi immediately said, "I'll go ask, don't worry, mother."
Lin Yue said, "Don't beat around the bush. Be straightforward. If you're rejected, don't get discouraged. Ask clearly: do you dislike it, or are you unwilling, or are there other difficulties?"
"If there's a problem, solve it. If she makes a request, meet it. Don't pretend you don't know what she wants, and then blame her for not being considerate."
"If that's the case, Mother won't agree."
Xiao Qingyi nodded, smiled innocently and said, "What mother said will never happen."
"I promise."
Then he ran away as if he could escape, and he seemed to be in a hurry.
But at this moment, the firm steps and brisk back seemed to indicate that this big boy had grown a lot and had his own opinions and courage.
Lin Yue was deeply relieved by this and smiled like a mother.
At this moment, the eldest princess ran in and said happily, "Aunt, Cuicui is back and is in the Zhaixing Tower."
"The Heavenly Master said there is a letter for you."
Lin Yue asked curiously, "Can't Cuicui be sent over?"
The eldest princess quickly said, "I heard from Dazhuang that Cuicui encountered a ghost while flying and is waiting for the Heavenly Master to exorcise the evil spirit."
Lin Yue: "..."
I can even run into a ghost when flying. What kind of crappy luck is this?
Lin Yue hurried over with the eldest princess. When the three little ones heard the name Da Zhuang, they looked indifferent and couldn't even remember that he was their father.
It was not until he saw Lin Yue and the eldest princess running away that he reacted and followed them.
Upstairs of the Star Picking Tower.
Cuicui revealed Yuan Huaizhi's identity. In fact, even if she didn't say it, Zhang Tianshi's current level of cultivation would have been seen.
But he did not act rashly, as if he was completely unaware of the situation.
It wasn't until Lin Yue arrived that he said, "It's just a fragment of soul. It won't affect Cuicui anyway. I don't think there's any need to mobilize a large force. What do you think, disciple?"
Lin Yue saw Yuan Huaizhi's spirit, which was even worse than the golden snake's. It could barely maintain its human form. It was truly miserable!
