ily were stunned. It was true, if An Xue Tang had this ability, why would they have bullied her so mercilessly in the pastAn Fugui suddenly remembered there was still someone in the courtyard. He rai...Looking at the backs of Qing Ya and the others, Xiao Qin's expression cracked. She truly didn't know what to say.

These people are really...

She raised her hand, moved her mouth, but before she could utter a word, the three of them had already walked away.

She was left with no choice. In the vast courtyard, only she and Ye Da Ren remained. Could she escape

Besides, she lives in this courtyard. Where else could she run to right now

She could only take deep breaths at the moment, comforting herself over and over in her heart: it's okay, it's okay, everything will be fine.

When faced with difficulties, remain calm and collected, and you will find a satisfactory solution.

So that's just the beginning, not... you're fine.

Gathering her courage, she finally lifted her head to look at Lord Ye in the distance.

She almost jumped out of her skin when she saw this headline.

This Lord Ye... when did he walk over

She didn't hear a single sound.

By the time Ye Er was debating with herself, he had already walked towards her. His dark eyes held a certain emotion that seemed to be on the verge of surfacing, "What they said... is it true"

Did she really rush back just to have dinner with him

Xiao Qin didn't know what she was anymore. Seeing Ye Da Ren so close to her, she dared not look up at him. At this moment, she wished she could bury her head in her clothes.

Hearing Master Ye's question, she could only feign ignorance and let out an "ah":

"Lord Ye, what do you mean I... I don't understand. By the way, didn't Lord Ye have dinner yet Then... then why not have a meal first I won't keep you company for dinner today because I already had a meal at the Beijiang王府."

After that, she lowered her head and wanted to rush back to her own room.

Ye Er suddenly let out a light laugh. Before she could leave, he reached out and grabbed her arm, stopping her escape just in time.

Xiao Qin's body stiffened, and she suddenly looked up at him, "Wh...what's wrong"

"Actually, the Northern Border Prince's Mansion sent someone to secretly escort you back. Before you came back, the people from the mansion had already met me. They told me that you didn't stay at the mansion for dinner."

"......" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At this moment, Xiaoqin's expression completely cracked, wishing she could immediately find a piece of tofu and ram her head into it.

To be publicly exposed as a liar... that's so embarrassing!

Oh no!

She screamed internally, wishing she could disappear on the spot, but Ye Er was stubbornly holding onto her arm.

She just wanted to escape, but there was no way out!

Right now, my head is bowed so low, I wish I could just burrow into the ground and disappear.

Looking at her appearance, Ye Er's mood was extremely good. He kept a faint smile on his lips and didn't care about Xiao Qin's current thoughts. He took Xiao Qin towards the dining area.

Xiaoqin could only act like an ostrich, going wherever Ye Er told her to go without saying a word.

My heart is so tired, today I was humiliated to my core.

After Ye Er gestured for her to sit down, she sat beside her.

The dishes and chopsticks were already set on the table. After sitting down, Ye Er used the public chopsticks to serve her some dishes, "Eat first."

"Oh."

Xiaoqin behaved unusually well, picking up her chopsticks and actually eating. She didn't care that everything in her bowl was what Ye Er had clipped for her.

Just as she was eating, she suddenly realized that all the food in her bowl was her favorite.

She wanted to say it was a coincidence, but her mind couldn't help but recall the meals she had eaten over the past few days.

It seems like every meal she had here was made up of dishes she really loved.

A coincidence, maybe once or twice... but every meal like this She couldn't convince herself it was all just chance.

She hadn't forgotten what the Princess had analyzed with her. The Princess said that Lord Ye was smitten with her, and she could more or less feel it too.

With everything he's doing now, and all the respect he's giving her, at this moment, she almost feels certain that perhaps Master Ye truly cares for her.

"Why aren't you eating Is the food not to your liking"

Ye Er's soft voice rang out, and Xiaoqin only then came back to her senses. She had been lost in thought so deeply that she hadn't realized where she was.

At this moment, I came to my senses. I don't know if I had truly understood something, but I looked at Ye Er without any hesitation.

and a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

Ye Er's hand holding the chopsticks froze instantly, she clearly hadn't expected such a sudden, breathtakingly beautiful smile to bloom on her face.

Her smile was so dazzling that one couldn't help but stare at her face. Ye Er stared blankly at the smile on her face.

Xiao Qin blinked, "Lord Ye"

"……"

Ye Er came back to her senses, her gaze shifting away in a slightly flustered manner. She gave a nonchalant hum in response.

Xiaoqin smiled and said, “These are all my favorite dishes. Thank you.”

This was the first time in so many days of sharing meals together that Ye Er had heard Xiaoqin say thank you, and he could almost guess without much thought why she was expressing gratitude.

He didn't speak, but used the public chopsticks to put more food on her plate, showing her with his actions that he liked seeing her eat.

The atmosphere between the two seemed to become incredibly harmonious in an instant. Neither of them spoke, but it felt as if they had already said a thousand words.

After finishing their meal, the two stepped out and saw Qing Ya and Xiao Liang already in the courtyard.

Seeing the smelly girl beside her, Xiaoqin thought of what had happened before the meal and glared at Qingya immediately.

Qing Ya was a person who knew how to bend but not break. At this moment, she quickly put on a flattering smile for her own young mistress.

Then he looked at Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang understood and immediately walked forward with the wine jar, saying to Ye Er, “Sir, this is wine given by the Princess of Beijiang to Madam. She said that you should drink it with your wife on your wedding day.”

""

Here we go again!

Xia Qin, even if she wanted to stay, her face was too thin. At this point, there was no way to continue staying and listening to this kind of topic.

Then he glanced at the wine jar and said to Ye Er, "The princess said this is a very good wine called wine, made from a kind of fruit. Sir, please keep it well."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and fled back to her room like a frightened bird.

Qingya giggled and quickly followed him back into the house.

As soon as she entered the house, Xiaoqin shut the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

Qing Ya giggled silently from the side, Xiao Qin recovered and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Qing Ya, you're getting bold today."

Qing Ya's face changed instantly, she stumbled back two steps, "No, no, I haven't done anything today."

"Is that so"

Xiao Qin let out a cold snort and walked towards her step by step.

……

In the courtyard, Ye Er glanced at the jar of wine that Xiao Liang was holding. Just after instructing Xiao Liang to put the jar away carefully, he heard Qing Ya's cry for help from inside Xiao Qin's room.

His eyes instantly softened with a doting smile, the corners of his mouth twitching upwards uncontrollably.

Seeing him like this, Dalian and Xiaoliang exchanged glances and felt happy for their elders from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Liang glanced at the wine jug in his arms, still couldn't help but ask, "Sir, when are you planning to marry the County Princess"tared at Yun Jialan with a sullen face, "Didn't you forget An Xue Tang's public announcement that she wouldn't treat the Qin family Or did you also forget Young Master Jiang's warning"Yun Jialan choke...
