She wasn't the type to be eternally grateful and devoted to someone who saved her; the Eighth Prince's plan was ultimately doomed to fail.
At most, I'll thank the Twelfth Prince properly when I see him again in the future.
However, He Yue noticed that Yu Xiu had been somewhat absent-minded and blushing abnormally ever since she returned.
Heyue asked her if she was sick, and she hurriedly shook her head and said no.
Since that was the case, Heyue didn't ask any further questions.
As someone whose soul was already in their twenties, He Yue could naturally see the hidden meaning in her expression.
Yuxiu returned from the Twelfth Prince's place, and the reason why is self-evident.
Although the twelfth prince was not as handsome as his other brothers, he was elegant, gentle and polite, and it was hard not to like him.
He Yue was quite pleased to see this situation.
After getting ready, Heyue, supported by her sixth sister and maid, left the manor and boarded the carriage of the fourth princess.
The Eighth Prince and his wife came out to see them off.
Heyue didn't say anything more, as if everything that had just happened didn't exist. She smiled slightly, thanked the Eighth Prince's wife, and took her leave.
On the carriage back to the city, Heyue leaned wearily against her sixth sister and closed her eyes to rest.
※
The Eighth Prince's wife was preparing to return to the city with the Eighth Prince when the Tenth Prince came looking for her.
"Eighth Sister-in-law, I demand an explanation! Why did you try to matchmake Yuehe and Twelfth Brother?!" The Tenth Prince was furious, but because the other party was his Eighth Sister-in-law, he tried his best to suppress his anger, but the questioning tone was obvious.
Guo Luoluo rubbed her forehead in exasperation and glanced at her husband.
Yinzhi smiled wryly and stepped forward to pat Yinzhi's shoulder: "Tenth brother, your sister-in-law is tired and wants to go back to the manor now. Let's talk about this later."
"No! I need to know now!" Yinzhi shook his head, insistent, his eyes fixed on Guoluoshi.
“I still don’t have a primary consort. I can marry Heyue as my primary consort. Doesn’t Eighth Brother want Marhan’s support? If I marry Heyue, everything will be within my grasp. Why is Eighth Sister-in-law unwilling to do so, but instead chooses Twelfth Brother, who has no connections? What good will this do us?”
"Do you truly love Heyue?" Guo Luoluo's sharp eyes swept over the Tenth Prince.
Seemingly not expecting the Eighth Prince's wife to suddenly ask this, not only was Yinzhi taken aback, but Yinsi was also surprised.
But I, Yinzhi, nodded without hesitation: "I love her, so I will marry her!"
Guo Luoluo smiled faintly, her beauty unparalleled: "If you marry her, you must only have her for the rest of your life, and treat her well for the rest of your life. Can you do that?"
I'm not calm about Yinzhi and Yinzhi this time.
Yinzhi looked at Guoluo Shi, then at Yinsi, and blinked blankly: "Eighth...Eighth Sister-in-law, are you saying that, like you and Eighth Brother, this is a joke!?"
Yinzhi frowned and looked at Guoluoshi with disapproval.
Guo Luoluo's lips curled into a mocking smile: "If you can't do it, you'll never win her heart in your entire life! I have no reason to help you!"
After saying that, he was about to get into the carriage.
Yinzhi was stunned for a moment. Seeing this, he quickly ran in front of her, stretched out his arm to stop her, and asked unwillingly, "But even Twelfth Brother couldn't do it, yet Eighth Sister-in-law still managed to bring him and Heyue together. Why does Eighth Sister-in-law say that?!"
Guo Luoluo stopped in her tracks, slightly raised her chin, and looked at him with a stern gaze, no less imposing than the Tenth Prince's interrogation: "Because even if I can't win her love, I can still have her favor. That's what I rely on. Twelfth Brother saved her, and she will be grateful. Compared to others, she has already won a step. If she doesn't love him, she doesn't care how many women he has. Besides, I believe in Twelfth Brother's character and that he will treat her well for the rest of his life. But what about you? I believe you are infatuated for a while, but I don't believe you will like her for a lifetime. She doesn't have any good feelings for you either, does she? Why should I help you? If Tenth Brother wants her heart, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. If you truly like her, then go and win her heart yourself. That's all I have to say."
I was stunned, speechless after being struck by the words "If you don't love me, you don't care."
Yinzhi was slightly surprised, as if he was deep in thought.
Guo Luoluo ignored their expressions and got into the carriage. Yinzhi comforted Yinzhi and then followed.
I didn't chase after Yinzhi. I scratched my head, at a loss for what to do.
Seeing his wife leaning wearily against the carriage wall, Yinzhi felt a pang of heartache and pulled her into his arms: "You're tired, why are you pushing yourself so hard?"
Guo Luoluo leaned comfortably in his arms and sighed softly: "It's not that I don't want to help him, it's that he simply doesn't have the chance. You don't understand her. It's hard for her to like someone like the tenth brother, and it's also hard for the tenth brother to control her."
Yinzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled, "Why? I think my tenth brother is sincere. Even if he can't marry only her, he will treat her well for the rest of his life. Besides, with you here, who would dare to bully her? Why do you need to worry?"
"You also want me to agree to Tenth Brother's request?" Guo Luoluo looked up at him, her brows furrowed in displeasure.
Yinzhi chuckled: "If I said I hoped you would help my tenth brother, would you agree?"
Guo Luoluo pondered for a moment, then sat up and shook her head: "You don't understand her. She's not someone who can be manipulated. She wouldn't stoop to dealing with people like us who are full of ulterior motives. Twelfth Brother is different; when he likes someone, it's genuine, without any element of exploitation. But if it were Tenth Brother, it would be different; she would stay far away from him."
“I see that she and you have a good relationship, and she likes you very much. If you were to speak to her, perhaps she would agree,” Yinzhi asked tentatively, frowning.
Guo Luoluo smiled bitterly and rubbed her temples: "She's so smart. She saw through our scheme just now. She's already wary of me and I'm afraid she won't associate with me anymore."
