The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

She doesn't care.

As long as Yang Xueyao marries Qin Chen, she will replace Qin Yurou.

Qin Chen's wife is Yang Xueyao, which is why she was able to marry him!

"Yang Xueqing?"

Just as Yang Xueqing was about to knock on the door of the general's mansion, a group of guards rushed out and surrounded her.

The leading guard raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

This Yang Xueqing is even more beautiful and charming than the rumors say, especially her smile, which has a pure and gentle quality that makes people's hearts flutter.

"roll!"

Yang Xueqing frowned, her anger rising: "I am the legitimate daughter of a general's mansion, a young lady of the Yang family. How dare you insult me?"

The guard laughed loudly twice, his laughter wild and unrestrained.

"The Yang family? Heh, our general has already been bestowed the title of Protector of the Nation by His Majesty. In the entire Qing Shi Town, besides His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, who else has the right to tell us to get lost?"

He was the commander of the guards in the Protectorate General's Mansion, and normally only the emperor could order him to get out of there.

Yang Xueqing's face turned deathly pale.

No wonder Yang Yan disliked her so much; it turns out she was no longer a member of the Yang family.

"Yang Xueqing, stop pretending. Our General Protector of the Nation has decided that once Xueyao's wedding is over, we will immediately send you to the border."

Yang Xueqin scoffed and said sarcastically.

"Yang Xueqin, shut up!" Yang Yan's face was ashen. "If you dare to say another word, get out of the Yang family immediately!"

Yang Xueqin flinched in fright and quickly hid behind Shen Lan.

"Shen Lan, look at the good daughter you raised! She's a disgrace!"

Shen Lan pursed her lips and remained silent.

Her eyes remained fixed on the general's mansion, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Yang Xueqing took a step towards the General's Mansion, her steps firm as she slowly walked inside.

Yang Yan's expression changed slightly. He was about to chase after her when he saw Old Madam Yang grab his sleeve and stop him.

"Sir, since Xueqing is so stubborn, we won't stop her. In the end, she'll be the one who gets hurt, it has nothing to do with us!"

Yang Yan frowned slightly.

"I don't want her engagement with the Qin family to be broken off because of her."

“I know,” Shen Lan sighed. “Let’s wait and see. The Qin family is not an ordinary family. It might not be a bad thing if Xueqing marries into the Qin family. As long as Xueqing can find happiness, I can finally put my mind at ease.”

Yang Xueqing walked in the courtyard of the general's mansion, her fists clenched tightly, her eyes filled with resentment, as if she was suppressing something.

Suddenly, Yang Xueqing stopped in her tracks.

She stared at the scene before her, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Under the sunlight, he was dressed in white, his long legs were slender, and he was handsome and otherworldly, like a banished immortal.

"Axun."

Yang Xueqing called out in a daze.

She knew this man!

He is a disciple of Yunshan.

He is also Qin Yurou's senior brother, Ye Chenxuan.

He's a genius in the entire Eastern Continent!

Yang Xueqing's breath hitched, her gaze fixed on Ye Chenxuan with infatuation.

Ye Chenxuan sensed someone watching him, frowned slightly, and cast a cold glance in their direction.

After meeting Yang Xueqing's gaze, he raised an eyebrow and asked flippantly, "Who are you?"

Yang Xueqing exclaimed excitedly, "I'm Yang Xueqing!"

Her voice had a delicate, sweet quality.

"Oh," Ye Chenxuan nodded, "So you are Xueqing's older sister."

Yang Xueqing's smile froze, and she asked blankly, "Young Master Ye, do you know my sister?"

"Hmm," Ye Chenxuan's voice was calm and indifferent, "Xueqing came to me for help just now, so I agreed."

His voice was completely calm, as if he were talking about something mundane.

"What?" Yang Xueqing's expression changed instantly. "You said Xueqing asked you for help?"

Ye Chenxuan nodded: "Xueqing said she likes me."

boom!

Yang Xueqing's mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

She had only told Qin Xueyao that she liked Ye Chenxuan, but she never expected that Qin Xueyao would secretly come to find Ye Chenxuan.

No wonder... no wonder she hasn't returned so late, she must have gone to see Ye Chenxuan today!

It's ridiculous that she was still so naive as to think that Qin Xueyao really didn't intend to pay any more attention to her.

If her father hadn't forbidden her from setting foot in the Yang family again, why would she have obediently stayed there and dared not leave?

"Second Uncle," Yang Xueqing clenched her fists, her eyes filled with tears, "You should know what kind of family the Qin family is! How could my sister be worthy of Qin Chen? And why would Qin Chen marry her?"

"you shut up!"

Yang Yan's face turned ashen, and he said coldly, "Xue Qing is your sister. I will protect her even if it costs me my life, and I will not allow anyone to bully her."

"Xueqing is my daughter!"

"Xueqing is also a member of our Yang family, so naturally we will not let her suffer any injustice."

Yang Yan's heart trembled. He lowered his eyes to hide the pain in them.

Yang Xueqin's face turned even more unpleasant.

"Second Uncle, I only have this one sister. If you don't agree, I will disown you as my second uncle. Our Yang family doesn't need a spineless coward like you!"

"Insolence!" Yang Yan roared in fury. "How dare you call me a spineless coward?"

"Humph!"

Yang Xueqin turned and left without looking at Yang Yan again.

Yang Xueqing gritted her teeth: "Yang Xueqin, just you wait and see, one day you'll be begging me on your knees!"

Yang Xueqin paused, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "Yang Xueqing, do you think everyone in the Yang family is like you? You're so foolish, you'll only ever be a burden to me!"

Her tone was filled with disappointment.

Once upon a time, she regarded Yang Xueqing as her own sister. Unfortunately, after meeting Yang Xueqing, this so-called sister became a stranger to her.

Perhaps in Yang Xueqing's mind, she was a good-for-nothing, unable to even defeat a male concubine.

There will never be a chance to turn things around in this lifetime.

But she forgot that she had her mother's support, and her mother had a powerful nephew.

She had powerful backers, so she naturally became arrogant and domineering. But she forgot that the people with powerful backers were not only her, but also her mother.

Yang Xueqing's face turned deathly pale.

"Second aunt."

Yang Yan remained silent for a while, then turned to Liu Rong.

"Xueqing did make a mistake, but she is still my daughter. I cannot let her marry into the Qin family!"

"Are you worried that the Qin family will look down on Xueqing?" Liu Rong raised her eyes and smiled slightly. "Although Xueqing is a concubine's daughter, she is still a girl from our Yang family. No matter how unwilling the Qin family is, they can only take her as a concubine!"

Hearing this made Yang Xueqing feel very pleased, and she proudly straightened her chest.

"Xueqing, go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll have someone bring you food later." Liu Rong patted her hand and smiled gently.

"Thank you, mother."

Yang Xueqing obediently responded.

"Oh, by the way, I just ran into the Qin family's steward. He said that I saved Qin Chen's life three years ago when his spirit beasts went berserk." Liu Rong smiled slightly. "Xue Qing, you must repay your mother's kindness properly."
