id, "Kill!"No matter who these people are, just based on what they're saying to An Xuetang now, Mo Yunjing doesn't want them to live another moment.Yun Yi nodded slightly, just about to have them drag...Seeing that Xiaoqin didn't believe her at all, An Xuetang smiled.

Xiaoqin looked at her, "Your Highness, are you..."

She wondered if the Northern Border Princess had gotten it wrong, after all, how could Ye Er possibly like her

There was no connection between her and him at all.

Love doesn't just appear out of thin air.

But she didn't want to just outright question the Northern Border Princess.

Seeing her distress, An Xuetang smiled and explained one by one, "Xiaoqin, you know Ye Er's body isn't good, right"

"Well, I see."

“Here is a person who is in poor health, knowing full well that they couldn't possibly defeat Jiang Qingyang, yet still went after him, charging in and rescuing you from Jiang Qingyang's grasp. If not for having different feelings for you, do you really think Ye Er was so kind as to risk his life to act bravely”

"...."

Xiao Qin was instantly speechless. What the princess said... seemed to make sense.

She always thought that Ye Er saved her that time because he was a good person. At the time, saving her was just an act of righteousness and kindness.

The princess' words made her truly look at Ye Er's frail body. She hadn't met Ye Er many times, but in the few times they had met, she could clearly see how weak he was.

After she accidentally tripped him, causing him to fall and hit his face against the ground last time, the color drained from his face instantly. He looked like he was about to pass out.

Later, she called the imperial physician to check on him. The imperial physician also said that Ye Er's body needed to be taken care of properly.

Even today, though she had no mind for anything else while negotiating with her parents, she was so close to Ye Er that she couldn't help but notice the strong scent of medicine on him.

And he had a complexion even paler than before.

The scenes that flashed through her mind clearly told her that Ye Er's body was truly in very bad shape.

Now, thinking back on the words of the princess... Ye Er's body is already so fragile. Would he truly be kind enough to save an unimportant person, even at the risk to his own health

If it were her, she definitely couldn't do it.

unless that person is worth her life to save.

"! "

Thinking of this, Xiao Qin's eyes widened suddenly. She... could she be the person Ye Er had in mind, the one he thought was worthy

So, Ye Er truly has feelings for her

When Xiao Qin was still dubious, An Xue Tang slightly narrowed her eyes and looked at Shou'er and Kang'er.

Both men understood instantly with a glance from their respective wives.

Shour approached and handed Xiaoqin the letter Ye Er had personally written that day:

"My Lady, this is a letter from Lord Ye today. Every word in it regarding you is filled with concern. If he didn't have intentions for you, how could he be so worried Even ordinary friends wouldn't care this much."

After Shour finished speaking, Kang immediately chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Anyway, I think it's impossible for ordinary friends to get along like this. That Ye sir must have... ulterior motives for the County Princess..."

“……”

Xiaoqin stared blankly at the people in the room, she saw a kind of thought in their eyes.

Originally, they all thought that Ye Erxin had a crush on her.

And her mother also felt that it was Ye Er Xin's heart she loved her, so she used her to coerce Ye Er into helping.

If Ke Ye really loved her, why didn't he agree at first when his mother made that request

He not only refused but also acted as if he didn't want to have anything to do with me.

Because of his cold indifference, her mother began to suspect that she might be wrong and resorted to tantrums and acting out.

As Xiao Qin thought this, she also openly voiced her suspicions to An Xue Tang and the others.

An Xue Tang understood Ye Er's thoughts. She shook her head and smiled, "Ye Er's love is great. In his eyes, love isn't about possession. He probably knows that you still have someone else in your heart and understands that you're extremely unwilling to marry him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to break off the engagement."

He has feelings for you, but he doesn't want you to be unhappy your whole life, so he doesn't want to pressure you, and even less so would he want you to choose him because of parental pressure. That's why, as soon as he guessed what your parents meant, he deliberately acted that way to make them give up.

It seems that Ye Er didn't expect it either. Even after he did all this, the couple of Marquis Anle would resort to such a despicable tactic, sacrificing Xiao Qin just to pin the blame on him.

Xiaoqin's mind was filled with Ye Er's gaze. Before today, she had always felt a strange feeling in his eyes whenever he looked at her. It seemed indifferent but sometimes she felt it wasn't coldness.

After a bit of guidance from the princess of Bei Jiang, she seemed to understand something.

At this moment, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

He... actually fell for her

That's also why he was unwilling to accept her suggestion of selling himself into slavery.

So he ultimately still, because of her, compromised with her parents and finally agreed to help them out with the Anle Houfu.

So before he left at that time, he disagreed with what his mother said. He said that he didn't want to embarrass her, not because he wanted to save face for her, but because he genuinely didn't want to embarrass her.

I don't want her to be ruined.

After putting all the pieces together, Xiao Qin finally believed what the Princess of Beijang had said, Ye Er was truly smitten with her.

She... maybe wasn't worth it.

Seeing her changing expressions, An Xue Tang knew she must have figured it out. She raised her hand and patted her shoulder:

“As outsiders, we can’t help with matters of the heart. Since Ye Er has promised your parents, he will definitely find a way to bring your two brothers back to Beijing. As for your engagement to him, to be honest, with his personality, if you told him you didn't want to marry him, he would absolutely not force you.”

"That's why he asked me to get involved today. As long as I'm here, the rumors about your private meetings with him won't stand. Every step he takes is actually calculated for you."

To be honest, she had to admire Ye Er's thoughtfulness.

As for Xiaoqin, Ye Er had indeed done a good job, she admitted that.

In this cold and heartless world, the fact that Ye Er is willing to do so much for Xiao Qin shows that he truly loves her deeply. He's loved her to his bones and is willing to sacrifice everything for her, even his own life.

She, An Xue Tang, didn't quite understand those matters of love. She only knew that Mo Yun Jing was the person she was willing to sacrifice her life for, and he was also the person who would sacrifice everything to protect her.

In her eyes, if someone can do this much for themselves, there's no need to be shy or hesitant.

There were no other obstacles between them, and they did not damage anyone's feelings.

...and the Ye family and Ye Er in the past were not relatives at all, but enemies....

So, in her opinion, Ye Er and Xiao Qin being together was nothing out of the ordinary.grimaced in pain, "Valley Master, Valley Master, save me."She knew that whether she sought Kang'er or sought Lu, there would be no result. So at this moment, with all her might, she pleaded with the p...
