The two were standing face to face at this time, with a distance of several meters between them. It was not close, but Luo Shuiyao still felt a sense of oppression.
Looking at Ye Yunzhou's furious eyes, Luo Shuiyao regretted her momentary anger and stabbing him with words. A normal person would have played both sides, seeing the situation was against them, but for some reason, she refused to do so when facing Ye Yunzhou. Perhaps she was convinced that Ye Yunzhou wouldn't actually do anything to her, so she remained silent, her brows lowered, staring at the clump of grass at her feet, speechless.
But she was so silent that Ye Yunzhou felt that she had made up her mind. If the current situation did not allow it and he was worried about affecting her reputation, Ye Yunzhou really wanted to rush forward and grab her to ask her clearly.
But because of his previous impulsive actions, even though he was raging with anger, he forced himself to calm down. After finally suppressing his surging emotions, he asked with a barely perceptible hint of grievance in his voice, "Do you really want to be the Young Lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"
This voice reached Luo Shuiyao's ears, creating a sharp sense of disconnection. It was hard to imagine the person before her was the decisive, ruthless Inspector General of the Hidden Dragon Guards. Instead, he looked like a wolf cub, seemingly aggressive but in reality powerless. This inexplicably made her feel itchy. Thinking of this, she found it amusing, thinking to herself: How could I have such a foolish idea?
She had no intention of letting Ye Yunzhou misunderstand anything, so she stopped being silent and responded to him, "I didn't mean that. Whether the Right Prime Minister's son is good or not has nothing to do with me. You don't have to think too much about it."
Ye Yunzhou's hands, held behind his back, gradually relaxed, and the dark glint and grievance in his eyes gradually dissipated. He coughed lightly to conceal his feelings and said, "If that's the case, it's all the better. The Right Prime Minister is not a good man. Don't listen to my mother."
Luo Shuiyao had no intention of getting involved with him anymore, so she just said "hmm" softly.
Seeing this, Ye Yunzhou moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up and just said, "Let's go to the main hall. It's getting late."
He had so many things he wanted to tell her. He wanted to ask her why she was so close to him if she had no feelings for Ah Xing; he wanted to ask her why she so easily accepted someone else's things. But now was not the time to pursue these matters. The most urgent thing was to clarify things with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. It wouldn't be too late to ask these questions later.
.........
In the main hall, the Right Prime Minister's wife and the Right Prime Minister saw the late arrival of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. They exchanged glances, a premonition welling in their hearts. So when the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery asked them to dismiss the servants, they did so. Soon, only the four of them remained in the hall, with the Right Prime Minister standing quietly to the side, seemingly nonexistent.
When no one was around, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery looked back at the Right Prime Minister and his wife, thinking about what he was about to say. He felt a little guilty before he even spoke, and a smile forced itself across his usually cold face. But perhaps because of his long-standing stern expression, his smile looked strangely eerie.
The Right Prime Minister shuddered at his expression, his mind growing ever more certain that this old man's gesture meant no good. He waved his hand and said unhappily, "Whatever you have to say, just say it. Don't try to scare me with that devilish smile."
The corners of the loyal and brave marquis's lips suddenly froze, and for a moment he was unsure what expression to put on. Never mind, perhaps he shouldn't have been so kind to him. Then, with a light cough, he returned to his usual cold expression. Since this old fogey had told him to speak frankly, he wouldn't be polite. Even so, he still considered his words carefully.
"Well, regarding what my wife and your wife discussed yesterday, just pretend that you didn't say anything yesterday, okay?" Although he chose his words carefully, he didn't sound very polite when he spoke.
"What did you say?"
The Right Prime Minister thought he had misheard, thinking that perhaps he was too excited and didn't sleep well last night, which led to the tinnitus. Listen, does this sound like human language? "What do you mean by just pretend you didn't say anything yesterday?"
The Marquis's wife had already cursed her husband the moment he said that. Seeing the Right Prime Minister's incredulous expression, she gave a dry laugh and bowed to him and his wife before saying, "There was a misunderstanding about what we said yesterday. I've thought about it and feel that our families aren't a good match. Thank you so much for your kindness, Right Prime Minister and his wife. It's Yaoyao who's been unlucky."
The Right Prime Minister is no fool. If he were, he wouldn't be able to sit at the head of the civil service. Hearing the Marquis's words, which were full of self-deprecation, while it was clearly them who were rejecting the marriage, the Right Prime Minister suddenly became angry. "It's not up to you to decide whether she's blessed or not. Marrying into our family means we have the final say on her blessings. We don't think she's unlucky."
Seeing him being so rude to his wife, the Loyal and Brave Marquis, who had been standing behind her because he felt he was in the wrong, became unhappy. "Even if she was lucky, she wouldn't marry into your family! It's just a brief exchange between our two families, nothing more, so why are you reacting so violently?"
"I reacted impulsively? You're going back on your word, and you still dare to say I reacted impulsively? Mr. Ye, don't go too far!" The Right Prime Minister was immediately furious. If his wife hadn't intervened, he would have rushed forward to fight with the Loyal and Brave Marquis.
The Right Prime Minister's wife knew her husband was weak and that charging forward against a battle-hardened general like the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would undoubtedly be courting disaster, so she tried even harder to stop him. "Alright, let's talk it over."
The Right Prime Minister was afraid of hurting his wife, so he could only stand there angrily, but he still glared at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, "You have gone too far, man. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never let this go!"
He was furious. His son had finally come to his senses and shown interest in a girl. When his wife told him the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had agreed, God knows how happy he was. With a daughter-in-law, how long before he could have grandchildren? But who could have known this odious old man would ruin his dream? It was simply unbearable.
