palace, listen! As long as you are willing to surrender, our kind and benevolent young master will never massacre innocents."The emperor on the imperial city heard Yun Wu's words, his brows furrowed a...Whatever the case, it wasn't Ye Er's fault. His mother was in the wrong to do this, and she is the one responsible for this outcome.

So she couldn't pretend she didn't know, she had to apologize to Ye Er.

Ye Er didn't expect that she would still find out about this. He shook his head slightly, "This matter is not entirely wrong. The County Princess is not wrong, and the Countess is not wrong either. I didn't take those words to heart, so the County Princess doesn't have to be so troubled."

But...

Xiao Qin was still struggling with the matter, but Ye Er interrupted her and said, "I heard that Madam Hou intends to marry the county princess to the second son of Chen Shilang's family from the Ministry of Punishment."

"...."

Xiao Qin's thoughts from the moment before, things she was still struggling with, instantly vanished from her mind. She stared at Ye Er in surprise, "You... how did you know"

Ye Er smiled but did not answer.

How could he not know He pays attention to everything about her.

Her other half, a person who will accompany her through life, he must investigate thoroughly, otherwise how could he rest assured.

However, that young master Chen is not someone you can entrust your life to.

He originally intended to have his subordinates leak the information to Madam Hou at a later opportunity.

If Madam Hou understands what kind of person that young master Chen is, Madam Hou would certainly not consider him again.

Under Xiao Qin's eager gaze, Ye Er leisurely sipped his tea, placed the cup down, and just as he was about to pour himself another.

Little did he know, Xiao Qin was quicker than him. She grabbed the teapot and poured him tea herself. After placing it down, she couldn't contain her eagerness any longer and said, "Master Ye, what else do you know"

Ye Erke had never seen Xiaoqin so subservient. He couldn't help but smile inwardly.

"But still, I must say, I heard Chen Shi Lang mention it earlier. However, that young master Chen is probably not a trustworthy man to entrust to. The county princess should think about this carefully."

Xiao Qin helplessly waved her hand, explaining with a slight hint of exasperation, "What did I consider As for arranged marriages, I never agreed to them in the first place. I haven't even thought about getting married! It's just that my mother is upset and wants me to meet potential suitors. That's just her wishful thinking. Whether it's the Chen family's son or the Wang family's son, I won't marry either of them."

I don't know what possessed her mother recently. They had already agreed that her marriage wasn't urgent, and even if she didn't marry by eighteen, no one would dare to hold the Anle Marquis Mansion accountable.

After Ye's marriage fell through, her mother also agreed and wouldn't force her to get married.

She knew not who had told her mother, but somehow the idea of marrying her daughter had sprung to mind again.

Her mother had chosen a husband for her that wasn't just some young master from the Chen family.

Only after her father's investigation did the young master of the Chen family seem reliable.

Others are not men who have countless concubines at home, or those who like to eat, drink, gamble and indulge in prostitutes. Some are even ten years older than her.

Although Master Chen was three years older than her, his courtyard was clean and he had no concubines. He was also very well-groomed and gave a good impression at least.

The only downside is that this Chen family son has been married once, but his wife died just less than a year after entering the marriage.

Since then, Master Chen has been indifferent to love and never thought about marriage or having children.

Logically, someone like Xiaoqin shouldn't humiliate herself by becoming a second wife, especially to the son of an ordinary junior minister.

Because of the long-standing feud between Xiaoqin and the Ye family, families of similar social standing naturally wouldn't want to marry someone with such a tarnished reputation.

Even if there were some willing, it would be difficult for her to find someone of a similar age at her age.

Well, after much deliberation, I still haven't found a suitable candidate. Out of the remaining options, Mr. Chen seems to be the most promising choice.

If she were unwilling to marry this young master of the Chen family, Xiao Qin could already imagine that her mother's next candidate would be someone from the Jia merchant family.

To choose Jia Shang's household is already a last resort.

Ye Er heard that she wouldn't marry, her hands on her knees tightened, her eyes held a complex emotion.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Although I don't know what kind of family the Countess has chosen for the Miss, this young master Chen is definitely not suitable."

He repeatedly brought up the fact that Chen's young master was not a good person, piquing Xiao Qin's curiosity, who had been indifferent to Chen's young master before.

Xiaoqin's gossipy eyes were fixed on him. "Ye DaRen, do you know what's going on What happened to that young master Chen"

She hasn't found a suitable excuse to refuse meeting with Master Chen yet.

If she could just get her hands on some dirt about that young master Chen right now, she could go home and tell her mother, so she could ease up a bit.

Ye Er wasn't planning on hiding it this time, and seeing her curiosity, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "That young master Chen has been going to all sorts of brothels these past few years."

"...."

Men of all stripes and colors... Xiaoqin's expression gradually cracked, could it be what she thought

Ye Er looked at Xiao Qin's ever-changing expression and knew she must have guessed it. Meeting her gaze, he nodded, "That's exactly what the county princess thought."

"!" This…might be a bit hard to accept.

She knew that people have their own preferences and shouldn't be discriminated against for their likes, but what she didn't understand was that if he liked this kind of thing so much, why did he still marry a wife

Before he was married, it's understandable. But after his first wife died, he could have easily used the excuse of being 'deeply devoted' to decline all marriage proposals.

Still want to see her

So is he a player or does he want to marry someone and put them on display To cover up his scandals

In any case, it's just disgusting.

Just as she was still cursing that young master Chen in her heart, Ye Er leisurely said, "His deceased wife didn't die from illness, but because she accidentally stumbled upon his ugly deeds. He was afraid of being exposed, so he used a poison on his own wife, causing her internal organs to fail and die. To outsiders, it looked no different from dying from a serious illness."

"!"

Xiao Qin's mouth opened in shock. After she recovered, she slammed her fist on the table in anger, "This young master Chen is simply outrageous! Is no one suspicious of him"

"The Chen couple covered up the truth for their son and gave the woman's family enough silver. Naturally, no one would suspect anything, as long as the deceased woman's relatives didn't pursue it, who would care"

“...”

That's exactly right.

"Then no one doubted his tastes over the years"

"This young master Chen is careful in his actions, and he has a rather good-looking face. He is accustomed to putting on airs in his daily life and can deceive innocent girls. There are occasional rumors about him and them, so naturally no one would suspect anything about that aspect."s about the war, then Miss Cheng, please don't delay. It's time to hand it over."Cheng Ru'er shook her head, gritting her teeth and saying, "This imperial edict, I...I must personally deliver it to th...
