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

This time, she wanted to see what excuse Yang Xueqing would have to refuse!

Yang Xueqing's face turned extremely ugly. She glared hatefully at Liu Rong before quickly walking out.

As Liu Rong watched Yang Xueqing's figure disappear outside the door, her expression gradually turned icy.

She had noticed Yang Xueqing was acting strangely a long time ago.

But... Yang Xueqing was the child she carried for ten months and gave birth to with all her might.

Even though she felt sorry for her because she was a daughter, she didn't stop her from continuing to dream.

"Second Brother," Yang Xueqin lowered her eyes slightly, suppressing the jealousy in her heart, and gently stroked her belly, "How is your health?"

Yang Yan shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just that I haven't had a good appetite lately and haven't been sleeping well."

Yang Xueqin said with a smile, "Second brother, don't forget, you still owe me a promise. After you recover, you must promise me that no matter what happens, you will stand by my side."

She didn't believe that Yang Yan, given his personality, would sit idly by and watch her being bullied.

"it is good."

Yang Yan nodded.

"By the way, Second Brother," Yang Xueqin pondered for a while, "Xueqing is my only sister, and you know that I don't want her to marry into the Qin family!"

“I will advise my father to cancel the engagement, but Xueqing is the child I raised. Even if she is unfilial, I can’t bear to punish her.”

Yang Yan sighed softly. He didn't know what was wrong with this girl; she was determined to marry the young master of the Qin family.

The young master of the Qin family is already twenty-seven years old and still unmarried, which shows how outstanding he is.

Xueqing is the apple of their eye, and if he were to force the Qin family to break off the engagement, it would probably anger them. Therefore, he could only try to appease the Qin family first.

As for Xueqing's matter, we'll deal with it slowly later.

Yang Xueqin pursed her lips and remained silent, a shadow flickering in her eyes.

"Second uncle."

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

Yang Yan looked up and saw Yang Yu rushing in.

"Yu'er, what brings you here?" Yang Yan frowned. "Have you gotten into trouble again? Your father will definitely punish you if he finds out!"

Yang Yu's face turned pale, and she shook her head frantically.

"Second Uncle, I didn't cause any trouble. It was Grandmother who sent someone to call my third sister and me back because my eldest sister-in-law took my fourth brother and fifth sister-in-law shopping and couldn't come back immediately."

"So that's how it is," Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Liu Rong and said, "Wife, have someone prepare a sumptuous feast. Yu'er and I will stay for dinner."

"it is good."

Liu Rong's eyes showed relief; she had been troubled by this very issue recently.

She was afraid that the snobbish Qin family would look down on Xueqing.

Fortunately, fate was kind to her; the Qin family did not despise Xueqing.

"You come with me."

Liu Rong tugged at Yang Yu's sleeve and walked out of the courtyard.

"mother."

Yang Yu hesitated for a moment before catching up with Liu Rong.

……

Qin Mansion.

The Qin family mansion was even larger and more luxurious than the Yang family mansion, covering a vast area and resembling a palace, magnificent and beautiful.

Yang Xueqing followed behind Liu Rong, her legs feeling slightly weak, her forehead covered in sweat, and she felt a little apprehensive.

Liu Rong seemed to notice Yang Xueqing's unusual behavior, stopped in her tracks, glanced at her coldly, and slowly spoke.

"Xueqing, I'm warning you, don't even think about provoking Chen'er again, or you'll never be allowed to enter the Qin family in this lifetime!"

Yang Xueqing's heart skipped a beat. She bit her lip and clenched her fists in resentment.

"Mother, why do you insist on making me marry Qin Chen?"

"hehe."

Liu Rong laughed sarcastically, her smile chilling. "You're so smart, how could you not figure it out? Chen'er is the most noble person in the entire Qin Kingdom. Whoever marries him represents glory and power. Our Yang family needs to rely on Chen'er!"

Back when Liu Rong married Yang Yan, the Liu family was also very poor.

However, Yang Yan proved himself capable and thrived in the army, which changed the fate of the Liu family.

Now, the Liu family has become wealthy, and Liu Rong has enough confidence.

"Yang Xueqing, let me tell you, whether you like it or not, you must marry Chen'er. He will be the pillar of our Yang family in the future. If you dare to disobey me, I will break your legs!"

Yang Xueqing gripped her handkerchief tightly, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

She was ultimately too young and her foundation was unstable.

In her previous life, Yang Xueqing was somewhat willful and spoiled, but she was not as reckless as she is now.

"Okay, I promise you."

Liu Rong smiled with satisfaction: "Remember, you are Chen'er's fiancée. No matter what, you are never allowed to disgrace the Yang family!"

Yang Xueqing's eyes were red.

She never imagined that one day she would be reduced to a tool for a political marriage!

A fierce glint flashed in Liu Rong's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. She calmly withdrew her gaze and said, "Let's go."

"Ah."

Yang Xueqing lowered her eyes.

Her fingers gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

……

Inside the hall.

The man, dressed in a brocade robe, sat high in the head seat.

Beside him sat a young and beautiful girl, her eyes shy, her body delicate and frail, her beauty captivating.

On either side of the girl sat two handsome young men in blue robes, both exuding a gentle and refined air.

"Second Brother," Yang Xueyao looked up at Yang Yu, "you've gathered us all here today, but I don't know what it's all about."

A faint smile played on Yang Yu's lips: "I heard that the young master of the Qin family will be attending our Yang family's banquet today, but as far as I know, he is blind."

"what?"

The siblings were all stunned.

"Second brother, are you serious? Does that mean... Xueqing is going to marry a good-for-nothing?"

"Second brother, why are you so sure? What if the young master of the Qin family's eyes are cured?"

Everyone turned their attention to Yang Yu.

"I just heard that the young master of the Qin family was assassinated last night, and it was a guard from the Qin family who risked his life to escort him back. That guard had been unconscious for several days and only woke up today."

"Oh, I see..." Yang Xueqin suddenly realized, "No wonder my second brother asked us to come back. I thought something serious had happened."

The Qin family guards protected the young master on his return, which can be considered a meritorious deed.

Second brother is trying to curry favor with the Qin family.

Liu Rong frowned: "In that case, go and invite Young Master Qin over."

"Yes, ma'am."

The old woman standing to the side respectfully cupped her fists in greeting, then turned and left.

Inside the main hall of the Yang family, everyone waited in silence, each with their own thoughts.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside the door, disturbing everyone's peace.

"Young Master Qin has arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several young masters from the Yang family went to greet him.

They had smiles on their faces, clearly quite friendly towards this young master of the Qin family.

Qin Cheng's expression was aloof, his handsome face completely expressionless.

"Young Master Qin, you've finally arrived."

The Qin family's influence extends throughout the entire continent. If they could get on the good side of the Qin family, it would be of immense help to the Yang family.
