mply a hopeless child, and even if An Xuetang tried her best, she wouldn't be able to help her.Liu cautiously looked at An Xuetang, "Ah Tang, in the future... please don't treat your grandparents like...When the steward entered, he immediately noticed the happy smile on his master's face.

He was genuinely happy for his master.

Although he had only just started working at the Ye residence, Master Ye was known for his kind temper and his excellent treatment of servants.

Of course he hoped the adults would be happy.

He had already been concerned about Lady Xiaoqin's affairs because his master was willing to meet the maidservant by Lady Xiaoqin's side. He couldn't help but suspect that his master had feelings for Lady Xiaoqin.

Later, the adults even favored the young servant at the side door. Whenever anything about Princess Xiaocheng was involved, they would bring him in directly without reporting it.

In that instant, he knew his guess was right.

After watching the whole day, he finally confirmed that they were truly in love with the Tenth Lady of Yue.

Otherwise, given their personalities, if something they don't want to do, not even the Emperor himself could force them.

Seeing the genuine smiles on their faces at this very moment, he was even more convinced.

They had been plotting against Miss Xiaoqin for quite some time.

Fortunately, their wish will come true soon.

As the steward of the Ye Mansion, he naturally had to pay close attention to the upcoming arrival of a new mistress. So after seeing off the couple from the Anle Hou Manor, he immediately came to discuss marriage arrangements with his master.

In the afterglow, Ye Er saw the butler walk in. He regained his composure and put away his smile, asking faintly, "Have they left"

"My lord, the Marquis and Marchioness have taken their carriage back to the Marquisate. But before they left, they deliberately circled our estate for a while."

"......" Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

Ye Er let out a cold snort. "She's truly afraid no one will know about their spat today."

The steward also understood this, so there was confusion in his eyes. But he understood his position and didn't ask any further questions at the moment. He just said, "Master, since you have agreed to marry the county princess, should I start preparing the dowry for the county princess"

When this was mentioned, Ye Er's expression instantly improved a great deal. Remembering the woman he had treasured in his heart, his sharp gaze gradually softened.

"Prepare well, for tomorrow I shall seek out the finest matchmaker in all of the capital."

Having said that, he suddenly raised his head and said, "With the temperament of Madam Hou today, she will definitely find a way to bring the wedding date forward. You should start asking people to tidy up Heyuan today."

He cherished the lotus pond with its beautiful lotuses. He wondered where he would place her to live after this, somewhere she would surely love.

The steward excitedly bowed, "Yes, I'll prepare it right away."

After the second young master's reply, the butler excitedly hurried off to get things done.

After all, judging by today's circumstances, it's really not far off before Madam enters the household officially.

......

North Frontier Wangfu

The guards of Ye Mansion were indeed swift in their actions. Soon after, An Xuetang received a letter from Ye Er.

Upon seeing the contents, An Xuetang's brow furrowed.

How did Ye Er and Xiao Qin get in touch again

And this time, it seemed like she had sensed something was amiss.

With a slight narrowing of her eyes, An Xue Tang handed the letter to Ning'er and the others, asking them to take a look.

After they finished watching, their eyes all seemed to have a hint of gossip in them.

An Xuetang, seeing their expressions, knew she wasn't overthinking it. She raised an eyebrow, "What do you think Is there something between Ye Er and Xiao Qin"

Kang'er nodded eagerly, "I feel like they are definitely different. Especially that Ye Er, besides saving the county princess from Jiang Qingyang at the risk of his life before, just today, when the county princess ran away from home, what did he have to worry about"

In his letter to the princesses, Ye Er directly stated that Xiao Qin had run away from home and was staying at an inn. He also said that he was worried that the princess, as a woman, would not be safe living alone outside, so he hoped that the Northern Xinjiang王府 could shelter Xiao Qin during this time.

On condition that he be granted anything about the emperor.

In other words, he's proactively surrendering himself, willing to become the eyes and ears of the Beijang Wangfu for Princess Xiaochun, operating within the Emperor's side.

If one were to say that he had no feelings for Xiaoqin, given how far he's gone for her, nobody would believe it.

Anne Xue Tang also thinks so.

However, Ye Er did not mention much in the letter about why Xiao Qin had run away from home, or how he had found out that Xiao Qin had left.

After a moment's hesitation, An Xuetang still instructed someone to bring Xiao Qin over.

She wasn't eager to meddle, but if taking in Xiaoqin could earn her an insider, it would be worthwhile.

She can't lose money on this deal.

......

Meanwhile, Anle Hou and his wife had returned to the Hou Mansion. As soon as they entered the bedroom, Lord Hou couldn't help himself and raised his hand, slapping his own wife hard.

This was the first time he had ever laid a hand on his own wife.

Lady Hou was stunned for a moment, but after she came to her senses, she didn't blame Anle Hou.

She knew her actions today would bring shame upon her.

The lord did not mention divorce, which was already quite good.

But she wouldn't regret what she had done today.

If she hadn't been blackmailing, being unreasonable and making a scene, Ye Er would never have agreed.

Nothing compares to her sons' return to the capital.

As long as her sons could return to Beijing, what did it matter if she lost all face."“That book, the Prince has a task for you. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, your words might carry some weight with them. This Prince gives you one minute to persuade these soldiers to lay do...
