She knew that He Xuehuai probably wouldn't pick and choose the marriage, but she was surprised that he would clarify and explain.

As if he was afraid that she would misunderstand.

Misunderstand……

Even if Ana Luo was slow, she gradually came to her senses. What He Xuehuai meant by this was...

Ana Luo wanted to confirm her thoughts, so she changed the subject, lowered her eyelashes and pretended to be depressed, "It doesn't matter, you don't have to explain to me. It's up to you to choose or not. After all, you are the real master of the Zhenguo Mansion."

The furrows between He Xuehuai's brows deepened: "In these days, has anyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion ever treated you as a servant?"

Ana Luo shook her head: "No... But I'm not the master. They probably just gave me some face for your sake."

He Xuehuai was rarely soft: "That's not the case."

Ana Luo lowered her head, deliberately hiding the corners of her mouth that were about to curl up, but she said, "It doesn't matter what happens. I want to leave the house, don't stop me."

After saying that, he raised his foot and tried to go around He Xuehuai.

Ana Luo stepped to the left, and He Xuehuai also stepped to the left.

She took another step to the right, and He Xuehuai also took another step to the right.

Ana Luo looked up at her, his eyes wide open: "What are you doing! Blocking my way?"

He Xuehuai lowered his eyes and asked her, "Where are you going?"

Ana Luo turned her head and said, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Since you are saying that I am not a servant of the Duke's Mansion, then where I go seems to have nothing to do with you."

He Xuehuai was unhappy: "How can it have nothing to do with me?"

Ana Luo turned away from him, pretending not to care, but she pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

"...Since you live in the Duke's Mansion, your safety will naturally be the responsibility of the Duke's Mansion."

Ana Luo didn't get the answer she wanted and sighed in her heart.

Seeing that she remained silent, He Xuehuai, who usually seldom tried to persuade her to stay, coughed and said in the same voice as usual: "We have delivered a new batch of Northern Xinjiang milk tea today. Yueyue is not feeling well right now, so I will leave it to you to handle."

Ana Luo simply replied with two words: "Tired of it."

He Xuehuai choked.

"Nanyuan and Beixuan have already started trading with each other. We got some new cheese from there. It is said to be sour and has a good taste. I think you might be interested in the rice milk with chopped fruits."

Ana Luo suppressed her laughter and said, "Okay, I'll go check on Yueyue and come back later to try it."

He didn't even look at He Xuehuai's expression behind him, and pretended not to hear his call, and ran straight to the gate of the mansion.

Ana Luo was very happy in her heart: after working so hard for so long, it would be time to ask for some "commission" from He Xuehuai.

Ana Luo rushed all the way to Princess Rongqin's mansion.

In fact, Princess Rongqin's Mansion is actually Prince Rong's Mansion, it just has a new door plaque.

Ana Luo heard from He Xuehuai that His Majesty had recently intended to move Qin Yuechuan to a larger mansion, but he was bluntly rejected and still insisted on staying here, just changing the name.

Now look, the plaques have been replaced.

Ana Luo was also a regular customer, so the palace guards conducted a routine check and let her in without any obstruction.

Ana Luo walked all the way to Luanfeng Courtyard, but heard a commotion ahead.

Ana Luo was delighted: "Could it be that Yueyue has woken up?"

He quickened his pace and trotted to the gate of the courtyard, but saw Qingfeng, Qingyang, Qinghong, Qingguang and others blocking the door. They seemed to be trying their best to stop something, but they did not dare to use force. They said bitterly:

"No, really no, Master Xu, this, this... please don't embarrass us."

"If you take the princess away, the prince will probably skin us alive when he comes back."

"Yes, we can discuss it after the prince comes back. Please put the princess down first."

Ana Luo understood a little bit after listening, and moved forward. Through the gap between the crowd, she saw Xu Yuanshan holding the sleeping Xu Xinyue steadily in his arms, with a cold face, standing in a stalemate at the door with Qingyang and others.

Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan looked embarrassed, not knowing which side to help. They looked at Xu Yuanshan, then at Qingyang and others. After discussing and making a decision, they decided that they must stay by Xu Xinyue's side. If Xu Yuanshan took Xu Xinyue away, they would follow. If Qingfeng and others stopped them, they would stay with Xu Xinyue.

Anyway, they will follow wherever Xu Xinyue goes.

Xu Yuanshan looked at Qingyang and the others and said, "Your prince gave me a jade token at that time and promised me that if I had any dissatisfaction, I could use this jade token to frame him for any crime."

He looked down at Xu Xinyue and said, "Even though I am dissatisfied now, I have no official position, but Yueyue has suffered this disaster. As a father, I cannot bear to see it. I will use that jade token to get my Yueyue to leave here!"

"He also promised me this!"

Xu Yuanshan's tone changed as he spoke: "I am just afraid that there will be such a day, and I should not agree then. Even if Yueyue never gets married, she can probably live in peace."

Xu Yuanshan was particularly resolute today: "You can tell the prince this. I've left the jade token behind, and I'll take Yueyue away today."

Xu Yuanshan hugged Xu Xinyue tightly and walked out.

Qingyang and the others did not dare to resort to force, because they did not want to fight Xu Yuanshan. If Xu Yuanshan was really in trouble, they would not be able to explain to Xu Xinyue in the future. Most importantly, if Xu Yuanshan resisted and accidentally hurt Xu Xinyue, the prince would not be able to explain to him either.

Qingyang was so embarrassed that he almost knelt down in front of Xu Yuanshan. Didn't he send someone to inform the prince? Why didn't the prince come back yet?

When the situation was at a stalemate, a cold voice suddenly came from behind: "Everyone get out."

Qingyang was delighted, the prince was back!

Today, her eyes were not covered. Her clear black and white phoenix eyes were empty, as calm as an ancient well. She could not tell whether she was happy or angry. She looked in the direction of Xu Yuanshan's voice, with no expression on her face.

Qingyang Qingfeng took the initiative to get out of the way.

Qin Yuechuan and Xu Yuanshan stood face to face.

Xu Yuanshan subconsciously held Xu Xianyue in his arms tightly: "My Lord, do you still remember the jade token you gave me?"

"I don't ask for anything. I just want to take Yueyue away with me."

Qin Yuechuan asked: "Where is Uncle Xu going to take her?"

Xu Yuanshan said: "No matter where, leaving Kyoto, going to Yunzhou, Lizhou, or Yueyue's own fiefdom Minzhou, anywhere is better than Kyoto!"

Qin Yuechuan's brows were gradually covered with frost, and his empty eyes were silent, as if they were not of this worldly nature, which made people feel even more frightened than when his gaze was sharp.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange, and the evening breeze around seemed to gradually stagnate.

Qingyang and the others didn't dare to breathe, and watched the movements of the two men in silence.

After a long while, Qin Yuechuan said, "She is my princess, and she will never leave me."

"But the prince did not protect Yueyue. The day I talked with the prince, I said that there is nothing I would not give up in my life, I just hope Yueyue is safe. Since the prince can't even do this, don't blame me for taking Yueyue away!"

"Please, Your Majesty, get out of the way!"

"I won't allow it. Even if Uncle Xu is Yueyue's father, he has no right to take Yueyue away from here!"

"How does Your Majesty know that Yueyue doesn't want to leave here!"

“This king——”

Before Qin Yuechuan finished speaking, Xiao Chan beside him exclaimed in a low voice: "Princess!?"

Qin Yuechuan's heart tightened, and he took a few steps forward without caring that he couldn't see, and asked anxiously: "How is Yueyue?"

Xiao Chan and Xiao Shu came to Xu Xianyue's side and saw more clearly. They cried and said excitedly: "Princess, the princess is crying——"
