y reached out to ruffle her little head. "Don't think about it if you can't figure it out, just eat well."An Xuetang only felt like she was blinded by his smile, and mumbled an "oh" before lowering he...Mrs. Hou pursed her lips. Her mood had improved considerably, but she was still bothered by Xiaoqin's attitude toward her just now.

After all, she is her mother, and in this matter, she is the one at fault. What face does she have to get angry

To actually dare to run away from home

She doesn't seem to know at all what she did wrong.

Such a daughter, she just annoys you by looking at her.

It was also learned that she had secretly met with the Ye family today and reminded Ye Er to be careful

Since she's so capable, let her go out and see for herself what kind of person she is outside the comfort of Anle Houfu!

Seeing his wife's face darken again, An Lehou's heart skipped a beat. He was just about to say something nice for Xiaoqin when he heard his wife coldly say, "What are you taking her back for Isn't she trying to run away from home Then let her stay out there."

“......”

Anle Hou was helpless. His own daughter, at the very least, was a county princess of the Marquisate. What was going on with her wandering around like this

After a moment's thought, An Lehou took his wife's hand and said softly, "My lady, that's enough. Back then, Qin'er didn't know she was just unwilling to marry someone she disliked. She had no idea things would turn out like this. I believe that if she knew what would happen later, she would have willingly married into the Ye family. Qin'er is a good child."

If An Le Hou's words had been spoken on another day, the Hou Fu would have listened intently. But today, the Hou Fu seemed unable to hear a word. She couldn't quite say what was troubling her, but her brow furrowed in thought. Finally, she made up her mind and looked at An Le Hou with determination.

Her gaze made An Lehou's heart tighten, a bad feeling washed over him, and he felt an urge to immediately turn around and leave.

But he was only thinking about it, and had not taken any action. As expected, his wife said to him with a blank face, "Lord Hou, there is now an excellent shortcut that can bring our son back."

"...."

Anle Hou paused, a suspicious look on his face. "What shortcut"

He has thought of almost every way possible this year, but he just can't figure out what shortcut there might be.

"Ye Er likes Qin'er."

...

This made him wonder for a moment if something was wrong with his ears, if he had misheard

He could meet his wife's eyes, and he felt like he hadn't misheard. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "What did you just say, my lady"

"I firmly say," Madam Hou stated, "Ye'er has feelings for Qiner."

As a woman, she trusted her instincts. She believed that if Ye Er didn't like Xiao Qin, he wouldn't always agree to her requests or meet with her repeatedly.

And what others didn't know, she knew very well: Ye Er had once saved Xiao Qin from Jiang Qingyang's hands, preventing her from being abused by him.

When she first learned about this, she actually suspected that Ye Er had feelings for Xiao Qin.

Otherwise, with their identities and Ye Er's frail body, they were already so vulnerable. To chase after him and save Xiao Qin from a martial arts expert like Jiang Qingyang would be impossible.

After much thought, the only possibility is that Ye Er has feelings for Xiao Qin.

Although she couldn't understand why Ye Er, someone they barely knew, would have feelings for Xiao Qin, the events that had transpired suggested that Ye Er's affection for Xiao Qin was no ordinary one.

As for Xiaoqin's matter, he shouldn't just stand by and watch.

"Anle Hou only now reacted that he hadn't misheard. He was a little stunned, "Madam, aren't we discussing how to get our sons back to the capital You... you suddenly mentioned Ye Er liking Qin'er Besides, how could Ye Er possibly like Qin'er That's too far-fetched."

"How is that impossible Everything can be hidden, except for liking someone. You can't hide that even if you try."

But how could that be If Ye Er really had any ideas about Qin'er, he wouldn't have主動ly broken off the engagement with her beforehand.

"My lord, you are mistaken. It wasn't Ye Er who willingly agreed to the annulment. If it weren't for the Northern Border Princess's intervention, the Ye family wouldn't be under his control now. And Qin'er didn't want to marry him either. The Northern Border Princess insisted on the annulment, so Ye Er had no choice but to agree, regardless of what he truly felt for Qin'er, in order to secure the princess's help."

“……”

This explanation holds water, as the annulment was indeed decided by the Northern Border Princess back then.

But speaking of which, what was his wife trying to do by suddenly bringing up Ye Erxin's fondness for Qin'er

Could it be...

Before he could think further, his wife spoke up, “Now Ye Er is the most trusted person by His Majesty. And as you said, Your Lordship, Ye Er practically goes to the palace every day now, helping His Majesty with government affairs. His Majesty trusts him greatly.”

"Since he enjoys so much of the Emperor's trust, if he takes the opportunity to propose that our two sons be recalled from that remote place, it would be a simple matter for the Emperor to agree."

"Furthermore, the reason my sons were sent to such a backward and remote place in the first place was entirely because Your Majesty wanted them, the Ye family, to vent their anger. Now that members of the Ye family are proactively proposing to erase past grievances and allow my sons to return to the capital, do you think Your Majesty would refuse"

"...."

As expected, she had this plan all along.

Anle Hou fell silent for a moment before speaking, “If this matter were brought up by Ye Er himself, Your Majesty would most likely agree. However, have you considered why Ye Er would bring it up He is indeed the Emperor’s favored subject now, but as someone who has only recently risen to power and already makes requests of the Emperor, what will His Majesty think As long as Ye Er doesn't want to jeopardize his future, he won't agree to this.”

Once Ye Er did so, Your Majesty, who was so fond of suspicious people, would suspect Ye Er’s actions. Afterward, he would no longer rely on him or trust him.

That Ye Er could become a favorite of the emperor in such a short time and gain his trust so fully speaks volumes about his intelligence.

Such a person knows what to do and what not to do.

This could very well ruin one's future. No one else would agree to this either.

Mrs. Hou let out a cold laugh at this, "These concubines have naturally thought about it, and Ye Er may not agree either, but at least we can try. Whether Ye Er agrees or not depends entirely on how much weight our daughter holds in his heart."

"! "

And so, hearing this, Anlehou finally caught on to something fishy. He turned sharply to his wife and asked, “What...what are you trying to do”

Hou Fu-ren remained composed, stating word by word, "Since Ye Er is so enamored with Qin'er, then let Qin'er marry him. We will not ask for any dowry, and we will even provide Qin'er with a suitable dowry. Our only requirement for Ye Er is to find a way to bring Qin'er's two elder brothers back to the capital." suddenly stumped. He was taken aback for a moment, then reacted. He turned his head to look at the corpses behind him, and then at Mo Junyi.There was still obvious shock in his eyes, oh my god!Did he...
