I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

Yang Liu looked carefully at the little girl in front of her. Although Yang Liu was sitting, she was a head taller than Yang Liu, but she lowered her head very low, looking uneasy.

Yang Liu was born with a very good appearance and a very aggressive look. She looked even more handsome and flamboyant in men's clothes.

The Liu Ruying in front of him also looked like a willow, but her cowardice made her seem extremely petty, timid, and cautious.

"Why are you here, cousin? Are you dissatisfied with something? Or did the servants make you unhappy..." Yang Liu looked at her with a smile on her face, without a trace of impatience, and asked in a soft voice.

"No, no, I'm very satisfied. I came here to thank my cousin for letting me stay... I'm sorry that my parents have made things difficult for you..." Liu Ruying tangle her handkerchief, looking embarrassed and at a loss, and extremely flustered.

She quietly glanced at the handsome young cousin in front of her, and sighed inwardly, "This cousin is really a rare talent. Although he is younger than her, he has the same intimidating aura as the elders of the tribe."

"No, cousin, please feel free to stay here. Since you promised Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu, I will naturally not let you suffer any grievances here. Tomorrow I will ask the mansion to make some clothes for you. You must be tired from the journey, so just feel free to stay and have a rest." Yang Liu considered himself to be very warm, gentle and polite.

"Thank you very much for your care, cousin..." Liu Ruying bowed again, like a flattered little rabbit.

"It's my duty. If you don't mind, you can just call me by my name from now on." Yang Liu didn't want to keep calling them cousin or cousin, as if she was working in orthopedics. Although she was not Yang Yuzhou himself, she felt embarrassed.

"Okay...Yu Zhou..." Liu Ruying nodded and called out tentatively.

"Ah."

After chatting for a while, they couldn't continue. Seeing that he had already calmed down the anxious Liu Ruying, Yang Liu ordered her to take her away. Then, he received the first prompt about the strategy.

[Female supporting character Liu Ruying’s favorability +10, admiration value +5.]

Current favorability is 30 (30/100)

Admiration value: 5 (5/100)]

"Hmm? Where did the extra 20 points come from besides the newly increased favorability?" Yang Liu looked at the extra 20 points of favorability that appeared out of nowhere and asked in confusion.

[This is Liu Ruying's initial favorable impression of you. ]

"And this?" Yang Liu was even more confused.

[Yes, but it depends on the person.]

"What's the use of favorability? I remember it's not within the scope of the strategy, right?"

[The favorability is provided to the host as a reference, for reference only. 】

"Like this..." Yang Liu pondered the feasibility of the reference. Indeed, in most cases, the favorability and admiration values ​​were equal, but what if there were some weird ones?

'Forget it, let's see what happens.'

[Host, the heroine is approaching. 】

"Hmm? Didn't I ask someone to send her home?" Yang Liu was stunned and hurried to Huangfu Ling's direction.

Not far away, Yang Zhao, who was chasing Huangfu Ling for fear that he would fall, was sweating profusely and shouting at him to run slower.

Yang Liu had just stopped her wheelchair when she saw Huangfu Ling throwing herself into Yang Liu's arms and joyfully handing the gift in his hand to Yang Liu.

"Brother Yuzhou, this is a gift my mother asked me to give you! Take a look and see if you like it~" She opened the box like she was presenting a treasure. Inside was an inkstone. One could tell at a glance that it was very valuable and must have been made by a famous artist.

"Although I don't understand what's so good about this, mother said that you will definitely like it!" Huangfu Ling pouted and chattered non-stop, and then stuffed the box into Yang Liu's arms.

Inkstone? Should she like it? Could it be that Yang Yuzhou likes it? But a child likes to write? Is he interested in this thing? She doesn't believe it. She believes that Prince Yong'an is hinting at something. Does he want her to be a writer or to be a staff member for others? He really thinks highly of her.

Yang Liu was puzzled inside, but she still maintained a gentle smile on the surface.

"Well, brother really likes it. Thank you Ling'er for sending it to me... You must be tired from running. Come on, brother will take you to eat some sweet cakes and take a break." Yang Liu stroked Huangfu Ling's head, acting like a good brother next door.

Then he signaled with his eyes that Yang Zhao who was following him was going to help push the wheelchair.

"Great! Brother Yuzhou is so nice! I can't even eat a few pieces in the palace. Mom always won't let me eat..." The little girl pouted, with an unhappy and accusing look on her face.

Yang Liu heard this and couldn't help but joked, "Haha, really? In my opinion, Ling'er can't eat too much, otherwise your mother will blame me as well."

When Huangfu Ling heard this, she immediately disapproved and retorted, "No way! Mother loves you so much! She can't bear to blame you."

Yang Zhao pushed the wheelchair and looked at the little girl who was jumping and chatting with Yang Liu. For a moment, he felt a sense of absurdity.

He seemed to have a sense of absurdity as he was watching himself and the girl next door laughing, chatting and joking from an outsider's perspective.

For the first time, he questioned himself, who was he? But then he laughed at himself for being a fool, he was Yang Yuzhou, Yang Yuzhou who used the alias Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao was in a daze when Yang Liu suddenly asked, "Ah Zhao, you came here with Ling'er, so where are the prince and princess?"

Fortunately, Yang Zhao was not distracted for long, and immediately replied: "The princess is resting in the reception room, and the prince did not follow. It seems that he was delayed by something."

"In that case, let's go see the princess. We can't keep her waiting for too long." Yang Liu nodded.

Huangfu Ling led the way and chatted with Yang Liu. They soon arrived at the reception room, where a beautiful woman was sitting. She was Princess Jun Zhiwan of Yong'an.

Yang Liu looked at her from afar. Jun Zhiwan was more beautiful in the daytime than she was that night. When Huangfu Ling saw her mother, she rushed forward and threw herself into her arms, rubbing against the princess's arms like a spoiled child.

"You little girl, why are you still so reckless at this age?" Jun Zhiwan couldn't help but laugh and scold when she saw her daughter like this.

Following Huangfu Ling in, Yang Liu bowed and said, "Thank you, Aunt Jun, for the gift."

Yang Zhao, who came in with Yang Liu, exchanged greetings and left. He had never been good at socializing and when he was young, he was the one who was least willing to go when his family visited relatives.

Seeing Yang Liu come in and pay her respects, Jun Zhiwan said with a smile: "Zhou'er, there's no need to be so formal. This gift was found by your uncle Huangfu, but he was busy today, so I had to come alone." She really liked this nephew.

"It's okay, it's okay. Business is important. I'm also very happy that Aunt Jun is here. Why don't you stay for dinner?" Yang Liu responded with a warm smile and mentioned staying for dinner.

"Okay, since Zhou'er wants to treat me to a meal, how can I refuse?" When Jun Zhiwan heard this, she remembered that she had something else to say to Yang Liu, so she agreed.

After hearing the agreement, Yang Liu told the servants to prepare the meal and turned around to chat with others again. However, the little girl Huangfu Ling was bored and started to chew the cakes on the plate on the table next to her. Perhaps because the cakes were not very sweet for a child, she stopped touching them after eating two pieces and just pouted her lips, looking unhappy.

"Okay, then I'll accompany Aunt Jun for a walk. I guess we'll have to wait for a while for the meal." Yang Liu glanced at the little girl in the corner, feeling amused. At the same time, he asked Jun Zhiwan.

Come to think of it, she was about the same age as Jun Zhiwan in her previous life, but it’s quite funny to think about the difference in age now.

"Okay." Jun Zhiwan nodded happily.

Yang Liu took the princess and the little girl Ling'er to the back garden, talking and laughing all the way. When they mentioned Yang Yuzhou's childhood stories, Yang Liu also agreed with an embarrassed and shy expression.

"Zhou'er, Aunt Jun wants to tell you something..." Shang You arrived at a pavilion. Jun Zhiwan entered the pavilion first and sat down, and called Yang Liu to sit down too.

"Well, okay." Yang Liu sighed that he was indeed very good at predicting things. Something must be wrong with this sister.

When Jun Zhiwan saw Yang Liu move in, she looked at Huangfu Ling who was following beside her and said gently, "Ling'er, go play with the sisters first, and mother will come to find you later..."

Although Huangfu Ling was still young, she was also very smart. She could see that her mother and brother Yuzhou had something to say, so she tactfully agreed. Because usually when her mother and father had something to say, they would also tell her the same thing.

"Okay, okay~" Huangfu Ling nodded, and then took the maid beside her and led her out. "Let's go."

After several maids led Huangfu Ling out of the pavilion and started playing in the small garden not far away, Jun Zhiwan looked at Yang Liu.

She seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "Zhou'er, have you ever heard your parents mention that you and Ling'er have been engaged since childhood?"

"Yeah, I know." Yang Liu nodded.

Yang Liu knew that this matter would be brought up sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so early. It had been less than half a month since she returned to the general's mansion.

"Ling'er is still young, and you are like this now..." Jun Zhiwan felt a little embarrassed. It was not that she looked down on Yang Yuzhou now, but she felt that it was unfair to her daughter. Her daughter was brought up in pampering by her. If she insisted on going through with this marriage, she was afraid that her daughter would hate her.

"I know what Aunt Jun means. Don't worry, I will pretend that it never happened..." Yang Liu understood and expressed her understanding.

If this is the case, it may be more beneficial to her mission. After all, if the marriage is bound and Ling'er develops a rebellious mentality, it will be more trouble than gain. It is better to give in a little, which not only keeps the relationship but also makes it easier to handle.

"Zhou'er, I definitely feel sorry for you, but it's very unfair to Ling'er. Aunt Jun doesn't want to break the promise, she just wants to make an agreement with Zhou'er..." Jun Zhiwan said sincerely, and this was indeed what she really thought.

"Aunt Jun, don't worry about it. I know that my current situation has really wronged Ling'er, so I agree that this matter can't be finalized." Yang Liu was afraid that Jun Zhiwan was just concerned about her reputation, so she interrupted first, saying that she really did it for Ling'er's own good, and she agreed to cancel the marriage.

On the contrary, Jun Zhiwan was unable to get a word in for a moment, "Zhou'er, listen to Aunt Jun first..."

"Okay." Yang Liu nodded.

Seeing Yang Liu calm down, Jun Zhiwan slowly said, "This is what Aunt Jun thinks. Ling'er is still young, so it is not convenient for me to make a decision for her. If she still likes you in the future, Aunt Jun will not stop her. You can agree to this marriage. What do you think, Zhou'er?" This was a concession she had made before she came.

"Let's do as Aunt Jun says." After hearing this, Yang Liu had no choice but to nod.

Since the princess has said so, if she still insists on asking the other party to cancel the engagement, it would be a bit ignorant.

"Okay, Aunt Jun now knows that Zhou'er is a sensible child." Jun Zhiwan held Yang Liu's hand and patted it in appreciation.

She wanted to cancel the engagement directly, but seeing her nephew like this, if he had a promising future, even if he was disabled, it wouldn't matter. Besides, her daughter wanted to get married when she grew up, so she couldn't stop her, right? In the end, she didn't say too much.
