The King of Yan had never met Xu Lingyi before, but he had heard her name many times from Wei Fuchi.
He often praised her to the highest level, saying that she was the best woman in the world.
At that time, he even suspected that his subordinates might be mentally ill.
It was obvious that she had never been interested in matters of the heart just like him before, so why did they arrange the marriage so quickly after just a trip back to the capital?
Now Qi Yuan probably understood.
When he met her clear and bright eyes, his heart was unconsciously dazed for a moment.
She does have a face that can confuse everyone, so it is understandable that Wei Fuchi was fascinated by her beauty.
"When you have a candidate, send someone to tell this king."
Qi Yuan clenched his fist and coughed, and he no longer looked at her.
Qi Yuan hurriedly left Xu's house.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten something?"
The subordinate reminded Qi Yuan, "Don't we still have to give her Brother Wei's relics?"
Qi Yuan frowned and said, "I forgot today. I'll give it to her next time."
The subordinate hesitated for a moment, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.
King Yan glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Your Highness, although she hasn't married yet, she is still Brother Wei's sweetheart. I see she's not having a good time at the Xu family today. Your Highness, please take better care of her."
With the power of Prince Yan, if he is willing to lend a hand, Miss Xu's future life will not be too bad.
"Your Highness, we didn't know she was so delicate. And that fake girl from the Xu Mansion is so spoiled and domineering. If we don't take better care of her for Brother Wei, I'm afraid she will be bullied to death by that woman in the mansion."
"You promised to help her find a good marriage, and I am also worried that she will be snatched away by that fake guy in the Xu Mansion."
Prince Yan's fierce eyes narrowed slightly, "The Xu family wouldn't dare."
"If she is truly useless to this extent, no matter how much I help her, it will be of no avail. Men and women are different, and I cannot possibly take care of her forever."
But thinking of her red eyes filled with tears today, Qi Yuan said in a deep voice, "Forget it, next time you go to Xu Mansion, I will punish her father."
"Your Highness is wise! Your Highness is truly the most kind-hearted person in the world. If I die in the future, please take care of my family."
Qi Yuan looked over with cold eyes.
"The scourge will last for thousands of years, and your family will never ask you to go to the battlefield."
Qi Yuan thought of the two right-hand men he valued most, one was Wei Fuchi and the other was him.
He lowered his eyes, "Wei Fuchi is different from you. He comes from a humble background... If he wants something, he has to risk his life."
Qi Yuan sighed heavily. Wei Fuchi’s death was no less than losing an arm to him.
It is also a huge loss for the entire Qi State.

"Miss, this is a great news. I didn't expect that General Wei was thinking of you before he died. With the promise of King Yan, you don't have to worry about marriage in the future."
Xu Lingyi didn't say anything. She could understand Chunxiao's worry and relief.
Ever since the news of Wei Fuchi's death in battle reached the capital, not to mention what other people in the capital thought, many people in the Xu Mansion were no longer friendly to her.
After all, Wei Fuchi was dead, so she could no longer become the general's wife.
"What are you so proud of?"
When Qi Yuan leaves, Father Xu will definitely send him off respectfully.
As soon as they left, Xu Wanning stood up.
"Even if you had the Prince of Yan, do you think you could still find a good marriage? You and Wei Fuchi have already completed the betrothal and marriage ceremony, and all that's left is the wedding ceremony. Who knows if you had any affairs with him before the marriage?"
"Why are you glaring at me, you maid? Even if there isn't one, no one in the capital would dare to want your master. Everyone knows that my sister has a deep affection for General Wei. If I were a son of a good family, I would never dare to marry someone like my sister. Who would want a wife whose heart is not with him?"
Xu Lingyi sneered inwardly, but tears welled up on her face. "Sister, General Wei is a man of high character. We've always been polite to each other. You...are you trying to force me to death?"
Father Xu couldn't bear it any longer. He walked out and slapped Xu Wanning.
Xu Wanning turned around with a panicked look on her face. Didn’t Father Xu just leave?
"Dad, why are you back?"
Father Xu's face turned pale and he threw up his sleeves, "Thanks to you, this evil creature."
The King of Yan didn't even want him to send him off.
Xu Wanning covered her face, feeling both scared and aggrieved. Father Xu had never hit her before.
As expected, if they are not biological children, they are different.
"Come here, take this evil creature back to the courtyard. Don't let her out without my order."
————
Father Xu was worried, "Yier, if you see King Yan next time..."
"Father……"
Xu Lingyi sneered inwardly, lowering her head but speaking respectfully, "Your Highness only said that he wanted to find a marriage for his daughter, and didn't mention anything else."
"If my daughter pushes the limit and asks for more, I'm afraid it will only anger His Highness even more, and it might even backfire."
Only then did Mr. Xu calm down. He was also overwhelmed for a while.
"You're right, that's all."
Father Xu was upset, but he knew that what happened today had nothing to do with Xu Lingyi.
After all, he was his own blood, so he tried hard to force a smile.
"Yier, go back and rest. As for your marriage, your father will ask your mother to keep an eye on it and will definitely help you choose a good match."
"The daughter thanks her father."
Xu Lingyi lowered her head, her eyes flashing with a gleam.
She knew very well that Xu's mother was not reliable.
But maybe this would help her.
She wanted to use Qi Yuan's promise to ask him to marry her.
But she also knew very well that just a promise was not enough for Qi Yuan to give her the position of princess.
