Murong Feng looked at Yu Qingli like this and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In his opinion, as a young lady, it was inevitable for her to have some temper. Those women who only knew how to be gentle and virtuous all day long were actually boring!

Yu Qingli took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes to hide the cruelty in her eyes.

Murong Feng sighed lightly, stretched out his hand and held Yu Qingli in his arms. This time, Yu Qingli did not reject him. Acting naturally requires sacrifices, doesn't it?

"Qingli, I'm so sorry. I didn't keep my promise and made you wait so long."

Yu Qingli remained silent, her body a little stiff, but Murong Feng didn't notice it at this moment. He was immersed in a state of extreme satisfaction. He could be considered successful to have made the most talented woman in Canghe so devoted to him.

"Your Highness, waiting time is always particularly long for Qingli. Most importantly, my father may want to find another good man for Qingli."

What Yu Qingli said was true, and it was also a reminder to Murong Feng that when it came to marriage, there was Yu Zhengsha standing in the way.

Murong Feng frowned. How could he not know what Yu Qingli said? Judging from Yu Zhengsha's seemingly respectful but actually neglectful attitude, he was afraid that Yu Zhengsha would not agree to what was going on between him and Yu Qingli.

"It's all my fault. I didn't properly discuss our matter with the Prime Minister. Now, I've put Miss in a difficult position."

"Qingli is not worried, but I don't know my father's attitude towards this matter. Right now, my father doesn't know about what happened between you and me, so..."

Murong Feng frowned and comforted Yu Qingli, saying, "I understand. I will handle this matter and propose to your father as soon as possible."

"What if my father doesn't agree?"

"This……"

Murong Feng really hadn't thought this through. What should he do if Yu Zhengsha firmly disagreed?

Seeing Murong Feng's confused expression, Yu Qingli retreated from his embrace without a trace, and tapped his forehead with her delicate jade finger. "How foolish! If father disagrees, Your Highness can just go and ask for an imperial decree. Father has always been obedient to His Majesty, and besides, I don't think father would dare to disobey the decree, right?"

Yu Qingli had a cute face and looked so eager to marry Murong Feng tomorrow, which made him very satisfied. It seemed that this woman was sincere to him.

For some reason, Murong Feng felt an inexplicable sense of vanity, probably because he was thinking about the various benefits that would come after a successful marriage.

"Qingli is indeed smart and clever. I'm afraid only Qingli could come up with such a method!"

Yu Qingli felt that Murong Feng's praise was hypocritical. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would have thought of this, not to mention Murong Feng, who was always known for his strategy.

Even though she knew it was hypocritical, she had no choice but to agree, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. Qingli doesn't deserve it."

The two were about to say something when they heard Mei Hong's deliberately raised voice at the door, "Master... Master, why are you here?"

Yu Qingli and Murong Feng exchanged a glance, each startled. Why was Yu Zhengsha here? Did he know Murong Feng was here and come to check on him?

How to do?

Countless possibilities flashed through Yu Qingli's mind, and she finally decided to wait and see what would happen. It was just a visit, so why should she be so nervous? Thinking of this, she straightened her expression and said, "Your Highness, just sit down and drink tea. I guess my father just came to see me."

This sentence brought Murong Feng, who had originally planned to avoid the meeting, back to his original position. After thinking about it carefully, it made sense. He was a guest of the Yu Mansion and there was no need for him to hide.

If that were the case, wouldn't it ruin his status?

Mei Hong entered the room with a panicked look on her face, but saw Yu Qingli and Murong Feng still sitting at the table calmly, with the teacups on the table still emitting the aroma of tea. She was stunned. Is this okay?

But it was too late. Shortly after Mei Hong stepped into the room, Yu Zhengsha appeared at the door, and behind him was still the loyal Jiang Bai.

Yu Qingli gracefully put down her teacup, stood up, and went to greet him. "Father, why are you here? What a coincidence! The eldest prince and I were just talking about you!"

"Me?!"

Yu Zhengsha was a little surprised. The tip he originally received was that the two of them were having a secret meeting, but when he came over, he saw that the door was open and both of them were dressed neatly. Although the maid at the door behaved a little strangely after seeing him, judging from the current situation, it did not seem like the two of them were doing anything shameful.

Yu Qingli's calm expression and the eldest prince's composure seemed to make their appearance seem a little too abrupt.

It's so open and aboveboard that it's hard to find any evidence against them!

Yu Zhengsha couldn't help but feel angry, how hateful!

However, a person like Yu Zhengsha, even when his heart was burning with rage, remained calm on the surface. It was really unexpected that in just a few days, Yu Qingli had become so unpredictable. If this girl really found out the cause of her mother's death in the future, wouldn't it be...

Yu Zhengsha could hardly imagine this result. No, he had to get Yu Qingli firmly under his control as soon as possible before that.

At least, let her give up investigating the cause of her mother's death.

In Yu Zhengsha's opinion, the best way is to marry Yu Qingli off as soon as possible. Yu Zhengsha has already started to formulate a plan and look for candidates.

In fact, Yu Zhengsha already had the best candidate for a son-in-law in mind, but it was definitely not Murong Feng in front of him or Murong Yanhui who had been very close to Yu Qingli recently.

"Why did father come here suddenly? Is there something he wants to talk to Qingli about?"

Yu Zhengsha made an excuse and said, "Nothing, I just came to ask about the shop. I wonder how your talks with the shopkeepers went. After all, these shops have been run by my father for a long time. Although I have handed them over to you, I am a little worried. After all, this is not just our shop, but also concerns the fate of the entire family."

Yu Qingli looked at that hypocritical yet upright face and felt very contemptuous in her heart. At any time and for any matter, Yu Zhengsha seemed to be able to find a high-sounding reason.

"Father is right. Qingli will definitely handle the shop's affairs well and will definitely not let father down."

His face was serious but with a hint of confidence, and his dark eyes shone brightly, making people feel extremely dazzling.

"Qingli..."

There was an unconcealable admiration in Murong Feng's eyes. Such a dazzling woman, it turned out that only he, Murong Feng, could match her. She was so brave, so smart, and so moving!

Yu Zhengsha did not miss the light in Murong Feng's eyes. He couldn't help but frowned, but quickly regained his composure. If he wanted to marry Yu Qingli, he should at least ask him if he agreed, right?

Yu Zhengsha didn't seem to have any intention of leaving for the moment. The three of them stood in the room, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Jiang Bai, who had been following Yu Zhengsha, saw this and broke the deadlock. He stepped forward and seemed to remind him, "Master, didn't you say you saw a nice ornament on the street yesterday and wanted to let the eldest prince take a look at it?"

Yu Zhengsha gave Jiang Bai an appreciative look, well done!

Then he took over and said, "Look, people really can't help but admit that they're getting old. I've forgotten what I was thinking about just now. In addition to coming to see Qingli, I wanted to find the eldest prince to appreciate it together. I heard that the prince has a lot of insights into porcelain and antiques."

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, you are too kind!" Murong Feng had a smile on his face, but he was secretly criticizing in his heart that this old fox wanted to separate him and Qingli.

What a nice thought! Do you really think Murong Feng is useless?

Wen Ya's smile widened. Murong Feng turned to look at Yu Qingli beside him. "This is such a rare opportunity. Qingli, do you want to go and take a look? What the Prime Minister likes must be something extraordinary."

"I……"

Before Yu Qingli could speak, Yu Zhengsha took over and said, "Qingli has just taken over the shop, so it's best to familiarize yourself with the store's operations as quickly as possible."

How could Yu Qingli not understand the implication of Yu Zhengsha's words? However, at this moment, she was grateful to Yu Zhengsha for his meddling. She knew very well that the easier it is to get something, the less it is cherished.

In her previous life, it was probably because she gave her heart too easily that she ended up like that. Now that she thinks about it, she could see something wrong in Murong Feng's eyes countless times, but she still deceived herself by saying it was just an illusion. Now it seems that she was really deceiving herself.

She lowered her eyebrows, looking like a good daughter, "Yes, father, Qingli will definitely live up to your trust."

Murong Feng felt a little unhappy. Yu Qingli actually rejected his respect without even thinking about it, which really made him lose face. His face immediately darkened a little and he turned away, ready to leave.

Seeing this, Yu Zhengsha also walked out of the room. Seeing Yu Zhengsha turned and left, Yu Qingli stepped forward and tugged at the corner of Murong Feng's clothes. In Murong Feng's stunned expression, she lowered her voice and said, "Tonight, I will go to see His Highness."

A hint of surprise flashed across Murong Feng's eyes. When he looked back, Yu Qingli's face was calm, as if what he had just heard was just an illusion. If he hadn't caught a glimpse of the blush on Yu Qingli's cheek.

Only after Yu Zhengsha and the others left did Yu Qingli breathe a sigh of relief. She suddenly realized how tiring it was to deal with others. She was about to call Mei Hong to add some more water, but she found that Mei Hong had left with them without her knowing.

After being stunned for a moment, Yu Qingli couldn't help laughing. In just a few days, Mei Hong looked like Murong Feng's maid.

"It seems your father doesn't want you to have much to do with the eldest prince!"

It was hard to tell whether the low voice contained sarcasm or joy, but with a hint of ridicule and mockery, a black figure reappeared in front of Yu Qingli.

Yu Qingli frowned, "Your Majesty, haven't you left yet?"

"How can we leave without watching such a lively scene?"

He glanced at Murong Yan casually and said, "Your Highness's hobby is really unique. However, I don't have time to chat with you. There are still a lot of messes waiting to be cleaned up outside!"

"Oh, actually, I'm really curious about how you plan to double the sales of these shops?" Murong Yan stroked his chin. "It's really exciting!"
