Li Jingjing had a good impression of Ye Rong who saved her. When she saw him asking questions, she immediately answered in a graceful manner.
"Thank you, gentlemen of the Ye family. Han Wenbin has harmed the people and molested decent women more than once or twice."
"We must not let this kind of scum go easily."
"Father has already planned to report this to His Majesty. When that happens, I'll really need the four young masters to help me as witnesses."
Upon hearing this, the four of them saluted General Li.
"General Li, if you have anything to say, just tell him directly. My father told me when we got here that General Li has served the country and the people. It is our honor to be able to help General Li."
As the General of Zhenyuan, Li Zhiming had made great military achievements throughout his life and admired Ye Pengcheng, who was also a general.
Now that the Ye family took the initiative to help, he was naturally happy. After exchanging pleasantries with the four sons of the Ye family, he began to discuss the next steps with them.
Ye Xiaoxiao was not interested in this. She was more interested in what happened between Ye Rong and Li Jingjing.
She had noticed that her second brother Ye Rong had been looking at Li Jingjing vaguely since he came into the Li family.
Although Li Jingjing was talking to her, her eyes were always glancing at Ye Rong.
Ye Xiaoxiao found it funny and decided to help them.
"Jingjing, I have something personal to tell you. Is that convenient for you?"
Li Jingjing smiled and nodded, then said something to Li Zhiming and the four sons of the Ye family, and took Ye Xiaoxiao to the yard.
"Xiaoxiao, no one comes here on weekdays, so if you have anything to say, just say it."
Ye Xiaoxiao took a look and found it was indeed quiet, so she looked at Li Jingjing with a smile.
"Jingjing, it's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you have a crush on someone."
Li Jingjing blushed when she heard that, and then shook her head a little embarrassedly.
"Dad is stationed outside, and Mom is worried about him, so she always takes me with her to accompany him."
"Dad has been on the march these years and can never stay in one place for too long."
"So, there is no time to take care of my lifelong affairs."
"Since I was getting older, Dad originally wanted to find a husband for me in the army."
"It's just that my mother didn't want me to suffer the same hardships as her, so she refused to let me find a man who was a soldier."
"But there are no men in the military camp who don't serve in the army, so this matter has been delayed."
"Originally, my mother was hoping that my father would return to the capital to report on his work, and then take the opportunity to find a suitable husband for me."
"I never thought that before my mother even started looking, something like yesterday would happen."
"Xiaoxiao, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this, but now that I have such a bad reputation, my parents are very worried, and my mother has been gloomy all day long."
"By the way, why do you ask this suddenly?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was happy in her heart, but she put on a wry smile on her face.
"Jingjing, I'm sure you know about my situation. The reason I asked you this is because I'm a little worried about you."
"This world is unfair to women. I'm worried that the Han family will try to evade responsibility and throw all the dirty water on you."
"It's easy to spread rumors, but hard to dispel them. You have to be mentally prepared."
Li Jingjing looked at Ye Xiaoxiao gratefully, then pulled her to a pavilion.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I know what's going on."
"But you, now that you're pregnant, still have to worry about me. I feel really bad about it."
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at her relatively flat abdomen and spoke in a gentle voice.
"I'm fine. This child is very worry-free and has never made me feel uncomfortable. I think he will be very caring after he is born."
"If you really feel bad about it, remember to give the baby an extra red envelope after he's born."
Li Jingjing smiled and nodded, and the two chatted casually for a long time. The more they talked, the happier they became. In a short while, they had become a pair of best sisters.
"Jingjing, it's getting late today. I have to go back. I'll give you a big gift another day. I guarantee you'll like it."
Li Jingjing was a little curious, but Ye Xiaoxiao refused to say anything more. Li Jingjing secretly said "naughty", which made the two of them laugh.
"Well, I guess they've finished their conversation. Let's go to the hall and meet up with your brothers."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, and the two of them returned to the hall, talking and laughing. Ye Rong heard their silver bell-like laughter and immediately looked towards the door.
As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao came in, she saw her second brother's eyes looking at them, and she muttered to herself with some amusement.
[It seems like my second brother really likes Jingjing. Look at his silly look, he's almost glued to her.]
[When I get back, maybe I can hint at this to my beautiful mother.]
[Since both the Ye and Li families were very happy with this marriage in the original book, I don't think they would refuse it now.]
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and greeted Li Zhiming again.
When the four sons of the Ye family saw Ye Xiaoxiao coming back, they all stood up.
"General Li, I'm truly sorry to bother you today. Now that everything has been settled, let's go back and tell Father."
Li Zhiming stood up and personally escorted the person out of the Li family's house. Then he and Li Jingjing walked back with a smile.
Ye Xiaoxiao vaguely heard General Li praising the elder brothers of the Ye family, especially the second brother who, like him, loved to wield swords and sticks, and was the one who pleased him the most.
Ye Rong had obviously heard General Li's praise, and now he walked with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Ye Chang, the third brother of the Ye family, looked at Ye Rong with some amusement.
"Brother, you look so heroic and confident. If I hadn't known you, I would have thought you were going to the battlefield right now."
Ye Rong snorted, "A real man should sacrifice his life on the battlefield."
After Ye Rong finished speaking, he looked at everyone, but when he saw Ye Sheng, there was suddenly a little discomfort on his face.
When Ye Sheng saw Ye Rong looking at him, he couldn't help but think of himself in Ye Xiaoxiao's heart.
However, this time, he will definitely not let the tragedy happen again.
Ye Xiaoxiao was thinking about the marriage of Ye Rong and Li Jingjing and did not notice the changes between the four brothers.
It was not until they were about to return to the Ye family that Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that the carriage was unusually quiet.
Ye Xiaoxiao just thought that they didn't want to talk to her after completing the task assigned by Ye Pengcheng, so she didn't take the initiative to speak.
Little did she know that the four people in the car were silent because they were concentrating on listening to her thoughts.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't care about the four brothers of the Ye family, but for some reason, she suddenly thought of Shangguan Lingyun.
It’s a bit strange to say, but the original book did not mention Shangguan Lingyun coming to find Ye Xiaoxiao.
It also did not say where the child was sent after Ye Xiaoxiao gave birth.
Now thinking about what that bastard said last night, Ye Xiaoxiao had a rough idea in her mind.
[It seems that after I gave birth to the child in the book, the child was taken away by that bastard.]
[I just don't know what that bastard is thinking. With his status, having a child is just a matter of a finger.]
[Why do you have to compete with a notorious person like me for a child who should not be seen in public?]
