Tong Lian looked at Zhao Lian with teary eyes: "This guy is impervious to both soft and hard approaches, I had no other choice but to come to you."

Anyway, I don't want to go home. My parents want me to marry someone I don't like, so I might as well be dead. I originally wanted to marry my senior brother, but who knew he would marry your sister instead.

"Now I've taken a liking to Qiao Feng, but who knew he liked you. So, if you don't like him, please give him to me. Please help me, I beg you!" Tong Lian said, tugging at Zhao Lian's sleeve and looking at her pitifully.

Zhao Lian was speechless. How could she help with something like this? But as the saying goes, it's like climbing a mountain for a man to pursue a woman, but as easy as piercing a veil for a woman to pursue a man.

In theory, it shouldn't be difficult, but if you really encounter someone who's stubborn and won't listen to reason, then it'll be a bit tough. You can't just force it!

Zhao Lian had a flash of inspiration. That's right! Someone as responsible and moral as Qiao Feng is hard to change unless he has ruined someone else's reputation and made him take responsibility.

In Zhao Lian's opinion, although Tong Lian was a bit unruly, she was still quite good overall.

A reserved person like Qiao Feng really should be paired with an outgoing woman so that their personalities can complement each other. Besides, Qiao Feng isn't young anymore.

In fact, Zhao Lian knew that Qiao Feng liked her, but even though they had known each other for so long, she had always treated him as a buddy.

Marrying him is simply impossible for me.

Besides, she had already said that she would marry the emperor when she turned sixteen.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lian felt resentful again. She wondered what the emperor had been doing lately. She hadn't seen him for months and wondered if he had forgotten her.

I don't know why, but I've been wanting to see him a lot lately, but he's been nowhere to be seen.

This person lives deep within the palace; it's truly difficult to even catch a glimpse of him.

Seeing that Zhao Lian remained silent, seemingly lost in thought, Tong Lian waved her hand in front of him: "Miss Zhao Lian, Miss Zhao Lian, what are you thinking about? Are you listening to what I said?"

"what?"

Zhao Lian finally came to her senses and looked at Tong Lian, sighing, "Sigh! I can't even sort out my own affairs, how can I have time to care about your messy business?"

"How about this, if all else fails, you can force him to do something, or you'll have to make him take responsibility for it."

Tong Lian blushed deeply: "This...this won't do! If my father finds out, he'll beat me to death."

Zhao Lian rolled her eyes: "Then do you want to marry Qiao Feng?"

Tong Lian nodded without hesitation: "Yes! I dream about it!"

She had been single-mindedly in love with her senior brother before, and was heartbroken when she learned that he had gotten married. But after meeting Qiao Feng and spending time with him, she realized that Qiao Feng was actually better.

"That's it! I've told you the method; how to implement it is up to you."

"If you can't have physical intimacy, then find a way to let him see your body. That way, he'll have no choice but to marry you."

"But you must remember not to make it too obvious. Remember the four words: 'play hard to get.'"

In fact, Zhao Lian only said these words to get rid of Tong Lian as soon as possible, but she didn't expect Tong Lian to take them to heart and start implementing the plan after returning home that night.

During her stay at the Qiao residence, Tong Lian learned about Qiao Feng's habits: every evening after dinner, he would practice his martial arts in the courtyard for an hour.

Fortunately, the back window of his room was right next to the courtyard, so he could see Qiao Feng's every move.

Qiao Feng had a habit when he practiced his martial arts: no one was allowed to disturb him.

Tong Lian knew that she couldn't disturb him while he was practicing, but she could do the opposite and let him come over on his own.

How could she get him to come over on his own initiative? Tong Lian came up with an idea.

That evening, Tong Lian moved the wooden tub for bathing into the room and had it filled with water.

After dinner, Qiao Feng came to the courtyard to practice his martial arts as usual. It was almost October now, and autumn had already arrived. The evenings were starting to get a bit chilly, making it the most comfortable time to practice.

Qiao Feng's fists moved with such force that a gust of autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves. As he practiced, he even managed to coil the leaves into a ball. He entered a state of complete absorption, becoming more and more energetic with each practice.

"Ah~"

Just then, a scream rang out, and Qiao Feng immediately became alert.

The sound seemed to be coming from Tong Lian's room.

"what!"

Tong Lian screamed again, "Ah! Get away!"

Qiao Feng's heart skipped a beat. What happened to this girl?

In his haste, Qiao Feng broke through the window without thinking, but unexpectedly, he kicked over the screen.

"Ah~"

A deafening scream suddenly erupted from inside the room.

When Qiao Feng saw the scene inside the room, he was dumbfounded. Tong Lian had just finished her bath and was getting dressed.

The screen collapsed, revealing Tong Lian's naked body, her snow-white skin and towering breasts. Qiao Feng's mind went completely blank.

"Ah~"

Seeing Qiao Feng break through the window, Tong Lian turned pale and quickly covered her chest with both hands, but in her panic, she could only cover her upper body and not her lower body.

Qiao Feng realized what was happening and quickly turned his back, throwing the clothes on the rack at him. He said in a muffled voice, "Put your clothes on quickly, or I won't be able to explain if someone else comes."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

At this moment, the other people in the mansion heard the screams, and many servants ran to the courtyard to inquire.

"I don't know, I don't know what happened!"

"The sound seems to be coming from Miss Tong Lian's room."

"Oh no, could something have happened to Miss Tong Lian?"

Just then, Jordan came out.

Hearing what everyone was saying, Jordan quickly went to Tong Lian's door and asked loudly, "Miss Tong, are you alright?"

After a while, Tong Lian opened the door, her expression looking somewhat unnatural.

At this moment, Ling Yun also arrived and noticed that something was wrong with her.

Ling Yun was stunned when she entered and saw the scene inside. There was a large bathtub in the room, the screen was overturned on the ground, and the floor was wet.

Tong Lian's clothes also looked wet.

Most importantly, Uncle Qiao Feng was standing by the window.

"Second Uncle, what's going on?"

Ling Yun asked a question.

Qiao Feng didn't have time to explain, he just said with a stern face, "Quickly tell those servants to leave."

Ling Yun realized what was happening and quickly went out of the room to tell the servants to leave.

"It's getting late, everyone should go home and get some sleep. Is everyone going home now? It's alright, it's alright!"

Although everyone had questions in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask any more and quickly left.

Jordan sensed something was wrong; his wife was definitely hiding something from him.

Jordan walked in and saw the mess in the room, and immediately understood.

"Woo..."

Tong Lian cried out in shame, "Sister Ling, you two must stand up for me! Qiao Feng saw my body naked, and I've lost my innocence."

Jordan's face turned green upon hearing this; he never expected his younger brother to make such a mistake.
