Chapter 1369: Understanding, Compromise

im, we must find a way to kill Zhao Si and prevent her from marrying into Tianba Kingdom. That way, he will no longer have the support of Tianba Kingdom.Oh!The throne of the Xuan Kingdom is definitely...Qing Ya's eyes were filled with heartache, she could only watch her own county princess with tearful eyes.

And what's worse, the person stabbing the county lord in the heart at this very moment is not an outsider, but her own biological mother.

Perhaps this is the point that the county princess cannot accept.

How could the life of a county princess be so miserable and so full of hardships

At this very moment, Xiaoqin's heart felt as though it were being pierced by a knife, the pain so intense that she could barely breathe.

She understood her mother's longing for her brothers to return, and she also hoped that her brothers, their wives, and nephews could all return to the capital soon.

When it came down to the final decision, and the one ultimately left behind was her, she just couldn't bring herself to say, "It's okay."

Xiao Qin clenched her fists tightly, so hard that she couldn't even feel the pain of her nails digging into her flesh.

Ye Er was actually waiting, to see if she would come in or run away because she couldn't accept the appearance of her own mother.

But she did nothing, she... probably still held out hope.

But a person who can give up on her for someone else or something else at any time, she can understand, she can forgive, but she must know and keep in mind.

After all, she still has several decades ahead of her. What if she encounters some difficulties again She can't be so naive and innocent forever. She should learn to take responsibility for herself.

He must help her grow to the best of his ability, so that even if he is gone one day and can no longer help her, she can still live a good life in this cruel world.

Despite his reluctance, he ultimately decided to continue playing along with the An Le Hou couple.

Then he clenched his fist again, put it to his lips and coughed lightly, looking even more feeble.

"I understand Madam Hou's intentions, but my current state is plain to both Lord and Lady Hou. As I am nearing the end of my life, marrying the County Princess would be irresponsible. It wouldn't protect her; it would only condemn her to widowhood for the rest of her days. In my view, this isn't responsibility, it's pushing the County Princess into a fire pit."

Listening to his clear refusal, Madam Hou's face was visibly agitated. She clearly wanted to speak again, but Ye Er saw her intentions and gave her a gesture of quiet with his hand, "Madam Hou, please listen to me first."

At this, he turned his gaze to Duke Anle once more. “Since all sorts of rumors circulating in the capital are connected to me, I will go and resolve this matter myself. I will make sure those people are silenced, and they will never dare to mention this again.”

As for the damage to the county princess's reputation, I am willing to make compensation. I have recently received many gifts from the emperor, which I am willing to use as dowry for the county princess. With these things, plus the status of the Anle Hou County Princess, I believe that no matter who the county princess marries, no one will dare to mistreat her.

"What do Lord and Lady think of this compensation I think, no matter what, it's better than marrying me, a sickly man. I believe Lord and Lady wouldn't want their daughter to marry into the Ye Family and be widowed at such a young age, would they"

If Lord Anle and his wife came to the Ye Residence today only to help Xiaoqin get justice and clear the County Princess's name, then the solution Ye Er is offering now would be perfect.

It's a pity they aren't.

The primary purpose of the Duke and Duchess of Anle today was to pressure Ye Er into speaking on behalf of their two sons, hoping he would pave the way for them to return to the capital in front of the emperor.

Therefore, such a method could not bring satisfaction from either party.

Although the Marquis of Anle was also concerned about Ye Er's words "widowed," he still cared more about whether his two sons and grandsons could return.

Ye Er's compensation scheme was clearly a way to avoid getting involved in the issue of bringing back both sons to the capital.

Now he was also in a hurry, so when his wife looked over, he obviously chose silence, letting his wife continue to pester Ye Er.

And when Lady Hou received her husband's tacit consent, she suddenly sneered at Ye Er, "So Master Ye thinks that our visit today is just to ask for that paltry sum of money In Master Ye's eyes, the county princess of our Anle Houfu is someone who can be dismissed with a little material possession"

"Ye Fu Butler, Guard:"...

They so badly want to get a word in, this Madam Hou! Do you even know how many rewards our master has received lately

I'm afraid that even after ten years of managing your Hou Mansion's assets, you still wouldn't earn this much wealth!

To actually dare to look down upon our adults' actions like this.

It's utterly ridiculous.

If the atmosphere wasn't so off, they would certainly retort a word or two.

Now they seem to realize that Lady Hou is here today to blackmail them, forcing their master to marry Miss Xiaoqin.

Ye Er was also amused by An Le Hou's attitude at this moment. He thought that at least An Le Hou, as a father, could make plans for Xiao Qin.

He still chose his two sons.

Having probed their attitudes, Ye Er only felt a pang of pain in her chest, as if she was hurting for them.

He had no time for further haggling with them now. His expression was indifferent as he asked, "So, what kind of compensation does Madam Hou desire"

Since she had asked someone to do it for her, Madam Hou naturally wouldn't be polite and repeated her request: she wanted Ye Er to marry Xiao Qin, and she also wanted him to find a way to bring back the two sons of Marquis Anle to the capital.

It can be said that for the sake of their two sons, the Anle Hou couple today have disregarded any shred of dignity.

Everyone present could see it, and Xiao Qin listening outside could see it too. She closed her eyes deeply, and when she opened them again, the stars in her eyes were finally gone.

Xiaoqin shook her head slightly, indicating that she was fine.

She's fine now, she figured it out and it's okay.

The heart hurts, but it still aches. Life must go on.

Besides, she couldn't deny that her parents loved her.

In the beginning, she accidentally killed Ye Xiaoming. If it weren't for her parents and siblings desperately pleading for leniency, she wouldn't have been alive today.

If it weren't for these matters, the emperor wouldn't have had her two brothers transferred from the capital to such a remote and desolate place.

Perhaps her mother now felt that since she was marrying into the Ye family, she wouldn't be in any danger and could even secure the return of her brothers.

This is already as much as she could do, after all, these years she has hardly suffered anything in the capital. But her brothers and nephews have endured hardship outside the city. Now, they are just using her marriage to make a deal, there's nothing she can't accept about it.

After all, this was all her doing.

When she thought about this, her heart didn't feel so bad.

After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and stepped inside.

Ye Er's deep eyes looked at the doorway, gazing at her face as if he wanted to see through her heart and know how heartbroken and sad she truly was.rees covering the mountains. It has to be admitted, it's an excellent hiding place.Therefore, Bai Feng's choice to set an ambush here was not surprising at all.Yes, Han Yun heard that Bai Feng's plan...
