Helian Sheng didn't know how to explain this to her. He even wanted to laugh when he thought about it. He just held her hand and asked, "He didn't bully you, did he?"
Duan Qingxi looked at him, thought for a moment, and asked, "What would you do if you were bullied?"
The man's face showed no extra expression, but a murderous intent flashed across his eyes. "Of course I want him to die."
Duan Qingxi asked again: "Do you mind?"
The man seemed to have never thought about this question. After being asked by Duan Qingxi, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "What do you mind?"
Duan Qingxi suddenly felt that this question was a bit stupid, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked, "What should we do next?"
"Leave the rest to me, don't worry."
Duan Qingxi had not been worried at first. After confirming that Helian Sheng had returned, she was completely relieved. She turned her back to Helian Sheng and went to sleep.
It’s really tiring…
Helian Sheng leaned over and kissed her again, then held her in his arms and slept for a long time before getting up and leaving.
Although Duan Qingxi was not awake, she was still somewhat conscious. She knew that Helian Sheng was about to start dealing with those things.
But before she could get enough sleep, Qiao Yun and Chan Xue came knocking on the door.
"Princess, Princess Chaoyang requests an audience."
When Duan Qingxi heard that Yun Xinling was coming to find him, he immediately opened his eyes.
To be honest, she was quite surprised that Yun Xinling had waited so long to come to her, but she was also quite happy. After all, Helian Yun had just left Helian Sheng's body and could help her.
"Come in."
After Duan Qingxi got up, she asked Qiao Yun and Chan Xue to help her wash and dress, and soon went to the front hall to see Yun Xinling.
Yun Xinling seemed very nervous while waiting for Duan Qingxi. As soon as Duan Qingxi arrived at the front hall, she immediately stood up with an embarrassed expression, even with a bit of shyness and difficulty in speaking that is common among girls.
Seeing her like this, Duan Qingxi said, "Princess, why don't you come sit in my yard?"
Yun Xinling looked at the servants and maids around her and nodded. She felt that going to Duan Qingxi's yard would be much better than staying here, so she followed her.
After entering the yard, Duan Qingxi sent away all the maids and guards around. After Qiao Yun and Chan Xue brought up tea and cakes, he asked them to wait outside first.
Yun Xinling seemed much more at ease, but she was still a little nervous, probably because she hadn't figured out what to say.
Duan Qingxi poured her a cup of tea and then said with a smile, "Have you thought it through, Princess?"
Seeing her take the initiative to say this, Yun Xinling bit her lip and asked softly, "Can you really... help me?"
Duan Qingxi said, "That depends on whether the princess is willing to cooperate and whether she is willing to make peace with me."
"Of course I am willing. Otherwise, why would I come to you? But..."
Yun Xinling lowered her head, as if she had something to hide.
Duan Qingxi asked, "Does the princess have any concerns?"
After a long while, Yun Xinling finally said, "I've previously sounded out the opinions of my father and mother, and they...they all disagree with me marrying Brother Yun. Mother, especially, was mad at me, saying that Brother Yun wasn't a good match for me. She also said that if Brother Yun married the princess, I'd only be his concubine and be outshined by Duan Shishi. It wasn't worth it..."
After a pause, she said excitedly: "But I don't care at all! As long as I can marry Brother Yun, I don't care about anything else! I... I just want to be with him, I..."
Duan Qingxi was surprised. Although she always thought that Yun Xinling was blind to fall in love with a guy like Helian Yun, she had to admit that this girl was quite infatuated.
She said, "The princess is of noble status and the beloved daughter of the eldest princess and Prince Yun. Naturally, they don't want to see their precious daughter marry a prince of humble origin, let alone marry him as a concubine. Duan Shishi is very cunning and is not a good person. If the princess marries him... she will most likely be sold and have to help others count the money."
Yun Xinling was in a bad mood, mainly because she felt hurt by the eldest princess's attitude. "How could I be so stupid? I know now that Duan Shishi is not a good person. She kept asking me out for tea and chat before, but I didn't pay much attention to her, but now..."
Duan Qingxi was about to ask her why Duan Shishi had asked her out for tea when she heard Yun Xinling say, "My father and mother are planning to arrange a marriage for me. They want me to marry... to Shangguan Yan. I went to Shangguan Yan and asked him not to agree to this marriage, but he didn't listen to me!"
Duan Qingxi thought about it and then remembered who Shan Guanyan was.
The young marquis grew up with Yun Xinling. He was a bit of a playboy, but he was of noble status and was also very much loved. The key point was that he really liked Yun Xinling.
He guessed that in this world, apart from the eldest princess and Prince Yun, he was the only one who could tolerate Yun Xinling's temper.
Duan Qingxi said, "He is indeed deeply in love with the princess."
Yun Xinling glanced at her and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Duan Qingxi: ...
She didn't want to argue with Yun Xinling over such a trivial matter, so she simply got back to the point and asked, "So, you don't want to marry Shan Guanyan, so you came to me?"
Yun Xinling asked, "You said before that you could help me marry Brother Yun. Is this true?"
"certainly."
"Then...I will marry Brother Yun now."
Duan Qingxi was amused by her and said, "How can it be so simple and easy? Marrying your Brother Yun is not difficult, but don't you want your Brother Yun to marry you willingly, pamper you, and love you... and then use his favor to gradually defeat Duan Shishi and ascend to the position of princess?"
