Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Seeing that Miss An persisted to the end, Xu Jingshu smiled. It turned out to be the right decision to let Xier make friends on her own. Didn’t she choose Miss An right away?

When Mu Tangxi saw that his cousin's wife was chosen to be Miss An, he felt that he was very lucky because he had known her before.

But now she wanted to know more why Miss Yi gave up at the last minute?

So, when Mu Tangxi saw Miss Yi leaving the table and walking out, he said something to his mother and followed her out.

She quickened her pace and finally caught up with Miss Yi. She called softly, "Miss Yi."

Yi Linlang turned around when she heard the voice, her eyes slightly surprised, "Miss Mu, why are you here?"

She bent her knees slightly, looked at Mu Tangxi with a look of slight confusion on her face, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Mu Tangxi hesitated a little, and looked at Yi Linlang eagerly with her sparkling amber eyes, "Miss Yi, why didn't you continue reciting poems just now? Is it because you hate me that you don't want to marry my cousin?"

Yi Linlang's eyes darkened. Just as she was about to deny it, she heard the second half of the girl's sentence. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, "How could it be? You are so cute, how could I hate you?"

"Why do you think I can continue with Feihua Ling?" Yi Linlang asked puzzledly. She didn't think she had done anything so obvious that a little girl could see it.

"Because my sister looks like she is very knowledgeable about poetry and literature, she must know a lot of poems!" Mu Tangxi's tone was pure praise, without any other mixture.

Yi Linlang didn't expect this to be the reason. After a moment, she laughed and said, "Thank you for your compliment, sister."

"But since you already know everything, after I tell you, you can't tell anyone else!" Yi Linlang said seriously.

Mu Tangxi nodded seriously, then stretched out the little finger of his right hand, "Okay, let's pinky promise!"

Yi Linlang had a smile on her face. She had left the table originally to relax, but she didn't expect to meet an interesting girl.

"Okay." She also stretched out the little finger of her right hand.

"We're committed to this promise and we won't change it for a hundred years!" they said together.

Yi Linlang regretted it the moment she finished speaking. How could she do such a thing?

Sure enough, I was bewitched by the little girl's bright eyes!

Mu Tangxi lowered her eyelashes to hide the fleeting smile.

She was a little afraid of trouble, so she could use this face to trick out the answer so that she wouldn't have to let Shen Qiu follow her to get information.

"Actually, it's because I..."

----

Behind the rockery, Ji Qichen squeezed Xu Guangzhu and whispered, "Hey, don't squeeze me, you're almost squeezing me out!"

Xu Guangzhu didn't understand their actions at the moment, "Your Highness, why are we hiding?"

"As men, how can we be alone with women? This will ruin the reputation of both parties!" Ji Qichen glanced at his study companion, his eyes clear.

"Oh, that's right... No, that's not right. I saw my cousin coming out alone and I was worried about her, so I followed her out. Your Highness, why did you follow her out too?"

Xu Guangzhu was almost bypassed by His Highness and turned to look at Ji Qichen.

Ji Qichen's eyes were a little erratic, "When I saw you come out, I thought you had a girl you fell in love with at first sight, and you came out to meet her without telling me, and you just wanted to come out and see her."

Xu Guangzhu was speechless. Does he look like the kind of person who would meet a girl alone the first time he meets her?!

"Your Highness...don't think so much next time."

"I know, I know!" Ji Qichen said perfunctorily.

"…So why are we hiding behind a rockery and eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"

Xu Guangzhu hesitated and finally asked.

He felt that this behavior was not gentlemanly at all, and if he was discovered, he would have no way to defend himself!

"We didn't mean to listen to them talking. It was just that you followed your cousin, and then I followed you. Then a few servants came nearby, and I was afraid of being discovered, so I took you to hide in the rockery."

Ji Qichen leaned against the rockery and spoke with a natural expression.

"Ah? Is that so? No wonder you suddenly dragged me behind the rockery when the servants came!"

Xu Guangzhu suddenly realized and felt a little scared. Did he almost ruin the lady's reputation just now?

"I was just following my cousin and didn't see the other lady here. When the servants came, I thought it was okay as my cousin, so I didn't hide."

Ji Qichen looked at Xu Guangzhu with complicated eyes. Why was this guy so slow in understanding the proper distance between men and women?

"By the way, what does your cousin want to talk to Miss Yi about? Are they familiar with each other?" Ji Qichen was hiding behind the rockery and was a little bored, so he just found a topic.

"I don't know. I've already said that I only saw her five years ago."

After they finished speaking, they fell into silence.

Because they heard what Mu Tangxi said, did Miss Yi give up on continuing to receive the Feihua Order?

The two were a little surprised. Could it be that she knew that Xu Guangzhu wanted to go to war?

So she doesn't want to marry Seo Kwang Soo?

However, Xu Guangzhu's cousin was quite naive. She actually thought that Miss Yi hated her, so she didn't want to marry Xu Guangzhu.

Ji Qichen looked at Xu Guangzhu while holding back his smile.

Xu Guangzhu thought his cousin was so cute that she actually attributed the problem to herself instead of him.

After listening to his cousin's praise of Miss Yi, he was thinking about asking his cousin to praise him too!

After hearing them make a pinky promise not to tell anyone the reason, Ji Qichen wanted to pull Xu Guangzhu away.

What happened next was not what they should have heard, but when he just raised his hand to pull Xu Guangzhu, another group of servants came.

It’s difficult for them to leave!

Otherwise, how about he and Seo Kwang-soo just pretend they never heard it?

Even if Miss Yi said bad things about Xu Guangzhu, Xu Guangzhu would not be angry.

Seo Kwang-soo would not get angry at strangers, the weak, or those who were about to die.

In Seo Kwang-soo's eyes, women are all classified as weak.

Miss Yi fits into both the categories of strange and weak.

"Actually, it's because of me..." Miss Yi's gentle voice came.

Ji Qichen and Xu Guangzhu both held their breath, trying to hear clearly what she said.

Xu Guangzhu was simply curious about what she was going to say, so he listened carefully.

Mu Tangxi also raised his head, his eyes full of curiosity.

"It's because my parents decided to marry me to the second prince as his legal wife." When Yi Linlang mentioned the second prince, there was no fluctuation in her eyes, as if that was not the person she was going to marry in the future.

Just a few words shocked the three people present.
