please. Who can stop me"In the city, An Xuetang and the others listening to the emperor's roar, all smirked.An Xuetang looked at Mo Junyi, "Ziling, your method is good. It's useful to bring Pan Shu's...No!

The answer is naturally yes or no.

He didn't want to see her being affectionate with others and living a happy life at all.

No one knew him as well as he knew himself, and even if he desperately wished otherwise, there was nothing he could do about it.

She is the woman he has always desired, If it weren't for her who cast a glimmer of warmth into his cloudy sky all those years ago, he wouldn't have had the courage to live this long.

He loves her!

Love to the extreme!

He also wished he could accompany her to savor tea, to cruise the lake and admire the scenery together. He longed to row a boat on the lake with her, becoming a couple envied by all.

But he knew very well that such a scene could only ever be realized in his dreams.

The guard waited and waited for a response from his master, but he got none. The longer he waited, the more panicked he became. Had he asked the wrong question

Will an adult not punish him

Just when he was feeling uneasy, Ye Er didn't make things difficult for him. She simply coldly uttered a single sentence, "I don't want to hear that kind of talk again."

After he had finished speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing their master's attitude like this, the guards didn't dare to say another word.

He clamped his lips shut and hurried after her.

......

When Xiaoqin returned to Anle Hou's mansion, she was called by the House Madam who said she had something to tell her.

Xia Qin was thinking that she also had something to say to her own mother, and it just so happened that she could go there.

But she never expected that the moment she stepped into the main hall, before even having time to pay her respects, she would be slapped hard across the face by Madam Hou.

After Xiao Qin reacted, she covered her face and looked at Hou's wife in shock. "Mother, why did you hit me"

"Because you should fight!"

When Madam Hou said this, her expression was extremely angry. Her gritted teeth made it seem like Xiao Qin had committed some heinous crime.

Xiaoqin, who had no idea what she had done wrong, felt incredibly wronged.

Tears welled up in her eyes, “Why should I fight”

Lady Hou did not answer her question, but asked instead with a sharp edge to her voice, “Tell me, who did you just meet”

As for meeting Ye Er, Xiaoqin felt she had nothing to be ashamed of. Their identities were indeed awkward, and there shouldn't have been any interaction between them.

But she wouldn't forget Ye Er's help a few days ago when dealing with the North Border Princess matter.

And just a few days ago, I went to see Ye Er. What private agenda could she possibly have

At that time, she only wanted to know how the emperor would deal with the princess of Beijiang. She just wanted to help the princess of Beijiang a little bit.

And Ye Er wasn't completely unhelpful to them.

At least Ye Er revealed the emperor's purpose and sent a message to the princess of Beijang.

In her eyes, Ye Er had already done a great deal to help.

So when she heard her father say that those cunning and treacherous men in the officialdom were hiring assassins to harm Ye Er, how could she just stand by and do nothing

Ye Er and she were complete enemies, but when she found him and hoped he would reveal the emperor's purpose, he still spoke without holding a grudge.

Now that she knows someone might harm Ye Er and he could be in danger of losing his life, she pretends to be unaware and doesn't tell him. What's the difference between her actions and those of a heartless ingrate

In the first half of her life, she went through so much. Now she is carefree and just wants to live freely and without regrets. Where did she go wrong

Facing her own mother's questioning, Xiao Qin knew she was asking knowingly.

But she had a clear conscience about this, so there was nothing she was afraid to admit. She slowly lowered her hand from her face and looked straight into her mother's eyes, firmly replying, "Yes, I did see Ye Er, I..."

"I'll kill you, you little bastard!"

Xia Qin hadn't finished speaking when Madam Hou, seeing her righteous and self-assured demeanor, immediately raised her hand to slap her again.

But Xiaoqin was already on guard this time. When she raised her hand, she instinctively took two steps back.

And Lord Anle had also walked to his wife's side when she slapped the first blow, his palms and back of his hands were covered in flesh. After all, it was his own biological daughter, he didn't want to see Xiaoqin being beaten either.

So, even before his wife's hand could lift, he had already grabbed her arm. Even if Xiao Qin hadn't stepped back, this slap wouldn't have landed on her face.

"Let me go, today I will beat this bastard to death."

Gongsun Yu only felt weary. When Xiaoqin and Ye Fu were still betrothed, they worried day and night that Xiaoqin would be tortured to death if she married into the Ye family.

Now that Xiaoqin has successfully broken off her engagement with Ye Er, they still worry about any contact between them.

After barely escaping that fiery pit, they are now terrified of her falling back in. They strongly discourage any contact she might have with Ye Er.

Xiao Qin, however, repeatedly challenged their limits of patience. The first time she went to see Ye Er was for the princess of Beijang, which they endured. But after returning, she even had the family doctor go to Ye's residence.

That's enough, I deliberately avoided the guards today and went to see Ye Er again.

How will this make them think

"My lady," Anle Hou sighed deeply, "Do not be hasty. Let us speak calmly."

"How else should I say it Haven't I said it clearly enough But what about her Has she ever listened obediently"

Lady Hou trembled with anger, her eyes full of resentment as she glared at Xiaoqin, gritting her teeth and saying, "If I don't beat her severely, she probably won't learn her lesson. She has forgotten how our whole family was reduced to this because of the Ye family!"

Thinking of her son being demoted to those remote places, unable to return to the capital for a year, and she herself couldn't leave the capital to see her son and grandchildren, all this was because of the damned Ye family.

Even though she knew Ye Er was also a victim in these matters, she couldn't deny that the blood flowing through him was the blood of the Ye family.

Whoever is a member of the Ye family is an enemy of their Anle Houfu!

He should never have had the chance to sit calmly and drink tea with them at Anle Houfu for his whole life.

But she, this rebellious daughter, can't tell what's right from wrong!

He even went to see Ye Er again and again, and he was so righteous. What on earth does she want

Has she forgotten how backward her brother and nieces and nephews live nowt to heal me, I didn't want to take your life today. But why did you choose to stay I gave you an opportunity."Not long ago, when he fought with the two of them, he had unknowingly sprinkled some spec...
