After hearing this, the pirates finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Guiyun sent people to take the surrendered pirates away. It was the first time that people around her saw her ruthless side, and it was somewhat difficult for them to adapt.

Looking at the quiet scene around him, Ye Qiong secretly glanced at Fu Yan who was packing up his sword, and spoke first: "The Third Young Master is really as good as a god. He has estimated the pirates' every move accurately."

Every word he said was filled with admiration for this man.

Ye Zhan also showed a look of awe: "The Third Young Master is worthy of being the one chosen by my cousin's wife."

She glanced at Fu Guiyun meaningfully, which meant that she approved of the husband she had chosen for the Ye family from the bottom of her heart.

The brother and sister now know their cousin's wife's character very well. She never cares about the family background of the person she likes, just like when she adopted the children of her concubine.

Now thinking about it carefully, her approach was indeed advisable. Lu Qingchen and Lu Qingyu were raised by her to be sensible and well-behaved, and their uncle and aunt liked them very much.

Although Fu Yan was born out of wedlock, the brilliance he displayed during this grain transportation was enough to make everyone believe that he was qualified to be the son-in-law of the Ye family.

Seeing that the brother and sister's attitude towards him had changed a lot, Fu Yan responded humbly: "Master Ye and Miss Ye are too kind. It was all the Crown Princess's plan. I was just lucky that my words came true."

Fu Guiyun was very pleased to see that everyone was having fun together.

It has been a while since the founding of Daning. My father-in-law has given titles and rewards to the children of the Lu family and even the relatives of the Fu family, but he has no special intention towards the Ye family. His intention is obvious.

He wanted to leave the opportunity of strengthening the Ye family to himself and the prince.

The Ye family plays a vital role in the stability of Jiangzuo and Daning, so she has to be extremely cautious when choosing a marriage for Ye Qiong.

Thinking of this, she left Fu Yan and Ye Zhan outside the tent, took people to clean up the battlefield, and only took Ye Qiong back to the tent.

Although it was obvious that the girl had developed some feelings for Fu Yan, she pretended to be indifferent. She sat down at the coffee table, asked Qinglu to make another pot of tea, and drank it slowly.

Ye Qiong sat next to her, feeling itchy and uncomfortable, but unable to express what was in her mind.

"It will be a while before dawn. It's a mess outside. Miss, please rest in my tent."

Fu Guiyun smiled at her faintly: "I will wake you up when we leave."

"it is good."

Ye Qiong responded softly, but she still sat on the stool without moving.

From time to time, he secretly glanced at Fu Guiyun, and the words in his heart were suppressed when they reached his lips.

This scene made Qinglu laugh.

Ye Qiong suddenly lowered her head with an embarrassed look on her face.

Fu Guiyun would never mention what she was thinking, but just asked casually: "Miss, do you have anything else to say to me?"

"I......"

Ye Qiong wanted to say something several times but stopped herself, clenching her teeth and thinking for a long time in her heart. She had to speak up: "My father is urging me to do this. I just want to ask my cousin's wife, are my cousin's wife and aunt worried about my marriage?"

After a pause, she became anxious and a little shy and reminded: "After this New Year, Qiong'er will be eighteen."

Fu Guiyun knew about this very well. The head of the Ye family had only one daughter, so he was naturally worried that she would never get married.

"My mother and I have never been negligent in the matter of my cousin's marriage."

Fu Guiyun pretended to sigh, "It's just that the Fourth Young Master has already asked His Majesty to grant him a marriage, and it was the leader of the Qingsu Gang who took the initiative to ask for it. Although my mother and I pity my cousin, we can't disappoint the Liren Gang. After all, the Liren Gang has made great contributions to protecting Jiangzuo over the years."

"I will never do anything to embarrass my cousin's wife and aunt."

Although Ye Qiong was somewhat unwilling about the matter between Lu Linzhi and Qing Su, as the eldest daughter of the Ye family, she knew her mission clearly and was aware that she was born into such a family and had no control over her own affairs.

Her father had already told her about the marriage between the Ye and Fu families, and she had no choice but to accept this fate.

After interacting with the Fu family these days, she also felt that the men of the Fu family were no worse than those of the Lu family.

Thinking of this, she pleaded sincerely, "My cousin and the father-in-law have devoted themselves to Daning. My cousin is now shouldering the heavy responsibility of assisting Daning's country and cannot spare the time to take care of the father-in-law. I am deeply loved by my cousin and am willing to enter the mansion to fulfill my filial duty and serve the father-in-law."

Fu Guiyun was stunned: "You want to serve my father?"

Ye Qiong was so aggrieved that she almost cried: "Cousin, Qiong'er didn't mean that. I just wanted to work with the Third... Third Young Master to show filial piety on behalf of my cousin... on my cousin."

Seeing her embarrassed face, she finally spoke her true feelings. Fu Guiyun and Qinglu looked at each other secretly, both of them not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

However, she couldn't agree to Ye Qiong so easily.

Because she knew this girl's personality well enough. She has always been proud and arrogant, and will only cherish things that she has worked hard for.

Frowning, Fu Guiyun sighed repeatedly: "I am very touched by my cousin's kindness, but I am afraid that Yan is not worthy of her. Although he is registered under my father's name, he is just a concubine's son after all..."

Before she finished speaking, Ye Qiong hurriedly explained: "My cousin is really too kind to me. She can entrust the household affairs to the Third Young Master, which shows her trust in him. It will only be a blessing for me if I am lucky enough to have such a good marriage."

Fu Guiyun finally relaxed and said, "Does Miss Cousin really think so?"

"Ah."

Ye Qiong nodded sincerely.

Fu Guiyun smiled with relief and gestured to Qinglu, "Then go and call the Third Young Master in, and I'll ask him what he thinks?"

Qinglu understood what he meant and left the tent.

Not long after, Fu Yan came in led by Qinglu.

Fu Guiyun had asked Ye Qiong to hide behind the tent in advance. When Fu Yan came in, Fu Guiyun was the only one left in the tent.

"Ayan, I know that my father has high hopes for you. Now that you have returned from studying, my father has placed the fate of the entire Third House on you alone."

Fu Guiyun looked at him and smiled softly, "But I don't want to put too much pressure on you. I just want you to live your life as you wish."

At this point, the subject changed: "You are already grown up, you should consider your own marriage earlier, so as not to make your father worry."

"It's natural to start a family and build a career. It's the will of parents and the words of matchmaker. Ayan is favored by my father and elder sister. My elder sister and father will decide on my marriage." Fu Yan responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Fu Guiyun was very satisfied with this: "I have chosen a good match for you, but I still want to ask what you think."

Fu Yan was already grateful to be adopted by his third uncle and escape the cage of the fourth room. Now his eldest sister even asked for his opinion on his marriage, which made him even more moved.

"Please give me your instructions, elder sister."

Fu Guiyun said bluntly: "The eldest lady of the Ye family."
