Chapter 54: I Am Willing to Marry Him!

When Ye Zhaojue heard this delicate voice, his expression changed.

Bai Aoxue looked at Ye Zhaojue in confusion. She would not think that anyone in Chengxi would be so bold to call the name of Ye Zhaojue directly. Besides, this person was a woman.

Ye Zhaojue smiled at Bai Aoxue awkwardly: “That is Princess Luoyan of Mobei. She is coming here to marry for unity.”

Bai Aoxue listened to Ye Zhaojue’s words and nodded, while she was still curious. She believed that something must have happened between them.

"We should leave first. Steward Bai will take care of everything." Ye Zhaojue did not intend to say more. No longer paying attention, he walked towards the carriage that has already been prepared together with Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue saw that Ye Zhaojue didn’t explain, so she did not question further.

Following Ye Zhaojue into the carriage, Bai Aoxue indeed did not hear the voice of that woman named Luoyan again.

She thought that Bai Qiwei has already started to communicate with her.

On the carriage, Bai Aoxue sat in a cautious manner with Ye Zhaojue at the opposite.

Neither of them talked. Ye Zhaojue carefully observed his niece whom he has not seen for more than a year. He felt that something has changed just now, but he did not think too much. Now, when he sat down and looked at her carefully, he obviously noticed that something was different.

Now it seemed that except for her appearance, nothing was the same. Although Bai Aoxue used to respect him, she was still afraid of him more or less, while now Bai Aoxue seemed to have no fear at all except respect.

Although Ye Zhaojue had doubts, he did not intend to ask now. He believed that Bai Aoxue would tell him.

And Ye Zhaojue was right about it. At this time, Bai Aoxue was thinking about how to tell Ye Zhaojue her changes.

After a while, they arrived at General’s mansion.

After Bai Aoxue got off the carriage, she looked at General’s mansion which was exactly the same as what was in her memory. She could not help sighing.

"Aoxue, let's go. This is your home." Ye Zhaojue once again reached out his hand and touched Bai Aoxue's small head.

Bai Aoxue gave Ye Zhaojue a smile. Following Ye Zhaojue’s footsteps, she slowly entered General’s mansion.

"General, little Miss, you are finally back!" The old housekeeper hobbled to Ye Zhaojue, his eyes filling with tears.

Bai Aoxue knew this old man. He worked hard for General’s mansion for a lifetime and he was extremely nice to Bai Aoxue.

"Uncle Fu, I am back. Thank you for all the trouble you’ve taken all these years." Ye Zhaojue stepped forward and held uncle Fu by the arm with gratitude.

Uncle Fu looked at Ye Zhaojue and nodded with shivering: "As long as you’re safe. I was afraid that I can't see you in my lifetime, General!"

Bai Aoxue looked at the old man and found that there was still a sense of intimacy in her heart. She could not help but going forward: "Uncle Fu, you can’t say that. You’re going to live for a hundred years!"

After listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, uncle Fu looked at her who has already been different from what she used to be: “Little Miss, you’ve grown up. Miss will be comforted when she sees you in heaven.”

All around was deadly silent at the mention of Bai Aoxue's mother. Everyone stopped talking.

"Look, what am I doing? General and little Miss, you should go in. This is your home!" Uncle Fu probably thought that it was not appropriate to mention Bai Aoxue's mother at this time, so he immediately broke the ice.

Ye Zhaojue hold uncle Fu by the arm and leaded the soldiers into the majestic General’s mansion.

Coming to the lobby, uncle Fu told servants to prepare refreshments, leaving only Bai Aoxue and a few soldiers.

Bai Aoxue looked at them who were probably the most trusted followers of Ye Zhaojue.

"Aoxue, these are my brothers who followed me and risked deaths. They are all trustworthy." Ye Zhaojue took the lead in talking to Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue sent Wenxi and Hongxiu away in the morning. Now only Mumian accompanied with her. Bai Aoxue looked at a few people around, knowing that these people have already been relatives of Ye Zhaojue.

"Thank you for being with my uncle for so many years, uncles." Bai Aoxue got up and said to Xingzhi and others seriously, and then she bowed deeply.

Xingzhi immediately got up and helped Bai Aoxue: "You don’t need to be so polite with us, little niece. Boss and we are like brothers. We accompany with each other."

The other also echoed: "Yes, we won’t be here if it weren’t because of boss. Little niece, you don’t need to say that."

Looking at those sincere faces, Bai Aoxue felt lucky for Ye Zhaojue.

Ye Zhaojue looked at Bai Aoxue, who had grown into a beautiful girl, and was filled the feeling of remorse. At the same time, he signed with emotion.

"Aoxue, tell me. Are you happy this year?" Ye Zhaojue seriously looked at Bai Aoxue. He knew that people in Prime Minister’s mansion were not kind. Bai Aoxue must be humiliated since she lived here.

Bai Aoxue looked at Ye Zhaojue who was serious. When she just wanted to talk, Mumian on the side was excited and answered first.

"General, since you left, Miss was even worse than a servant in Prime Minister’s mansion. Miss was often bullied by them. General, you almost lost her forever!" Mumian quickly knelt in front of Ye Zhaojue and cried.

Looking at a series of movements of Mumian, Bai Aoxue was moved. She immediately stepped forward to help Mumian.

Ye Zhaojue has long been shocked by the words of Mumian. Although he thought that being bullied was inevitable, he did not think that they were so cruel to kill Aoxue!

"Aoxue... You tell me. What the hell is going on? What happened?!" Ye Zhaojue asked after resisting the turbulent fear in his mind.

Bai Aoxue looked at Ye Zhaojue, who won countless battles and was admired by tens of thousands of people. She never thought that Ye Zhaojue would be afraid, while now she could feel it.

"Uncle, it’s not a big deal. I am good now, right?" Bai Aoxue went to hold Ye Zhaojue's trembling hands.

"Aoxue, I want to know what happened to you this year. I am sorry for you, and I am sorry for your mother even more!" Ye Zhaojue thought of his deceased sister and said with profound sorrow.

These two children of Ye had lost parents in their youth. Bai Aoxue’s mother was raised by Ye Zhaojue his own. In order to give his sister a good life, he resolutely joined the army to protect the country. The country was defended, while he lost his sister.

This thing would accompany with Ye Zhaojue all his life. It was a thorn that stabbed into his heart. He would feel pain whenever he thought her.

Now, he almost lost his last relative. How could this not make him not afraid and not angry?

"Since my mother died, the people of Prime Minister’s mansion also gradually looked down on me because of my father's indifference and disrespect. I thought that my father would care more about me since I am his own daughter, but everything was just a mirage. "Bai Aoxue faintly narrated.

"Concubine Su stirred up the servants in the mansion to severely suppress me and Mumian. I thought that would be all of it, while I didn't expect that my sister pushed me down the pond cruelly. I survived from death and I also see through people’s so-called merits." Bai Aoxue continued after a pause.

She should have told the story with tears; however, Bai Aoxue told it calmly as if the main character of the story was not her.

"When I woke up, I was told that I was going to marry 5th princes. Now I have completely figured out. Why should I treat Bai Qiwei as my father if he did not treat me as his daughter? No father would push his own daughter down the sea of fire." Bai Aoxue looked at Ye Zhaojue faintly.

And she cleverly explained her own changes.

After listening to Bai Aoxue's words, Ye Zhaojue even felt sorrier for his own niece who forced herself to be strong, and he finally understood why Bai Aoxue would change so much.

Living in such an intrigue environment and being helpless, she could only rely on herself. He, her uncle, did not give her any protection at all.

"How can a father be so brutal and cold-blooded? What a good Bai Qiwei! Everybody only think that he is just and unselfish. We didn’t expect that he turned out to be so despicable!" Xingzhi shouted loudly, while his eyes looked at Bai Aoxue with more admiration.

"Boss! That 5th prince is a good-for-nothing. He is also a playboy and an ugly weakling! Little niece’s life would be ruined if she marries such a person!" Another man thought of Jun Yeyan and then said angrily.

When everyone listened to the words of this man, they remembered that Jun Yeyan’s affairs were already well known. Now wasn’t he going to ruin the life of Bai Aoxue if she was going to marry him?!

Bai Aoxue looked at those people who were worried about her, a warm current flowing over her heart.

"Aoxue, I will punish them one by one for what you’ve suffered! Today we enter the palace and explained to His Majesty clearly. We will cancel the marriage arrangement. You won’t marry him!" Ye Zhaojue seriously looked at Bai Aoxue.

Even if he was going to against imperial edict, he won’t be afraid! Nothing was bigger than choosing a good husband for Aoxue!

Bai Aoxue listened to Ye Zhaojue’s words and smiled slightly: "Uncle, I’m getting back what they owed me and my mother little by little! Just forget about cancelling the marriage. I don't want uncle to breach imperial edict because of me."

Looking at Bai Aoxue who was so sensible, Ye Zhaojue also felt sorrier for her.

"I don't care them. I am happy as long as our Aoxue can live a happy life!" Ye Zhaojue said resolutely.

"Uncle, marrying Jun Yeyan is my own decision. His majesty has also summoned me, and I agreed." Bai Aoxue said with a faint smile.

Ye Zhaojue looked at Bai Aoxue with amazement. He asked confusedly: "Aoxue, do you have any difficulties? Tell me."

Bai Aoxue shook her head and laughed: "There is no difficulty. I’m going to marry someone sooner or later. I have lost a lot of trouble if I marry Jun Yeyan. Besides, I have also dealt with Jun Yeyan, so you can rest assured."

"But I can find a good husband for you. You have heard the rumors of 5th prince. Don't make fun of your marriage, do you know?" Ye Zhaojue didn’t give up and continued.

"Uncle, you can rest assured. I’ve set up my mind. I know that you are worried about me, but I promise that I will be happy. Uncle, you have to believe me!" Bai Aoxue looked at Ye Zhaojue's eyes and said.

Ye Zhaojue also saw resolution from Bai Aoxue's eyes which were exactly the same as that of her mother. It was the last look that he had the heart to refuse.

"Alas! You are as stubborn as your mother. Now since you’ve decided, I will not force you, but you need to remember that you could always rely on me. You can go home whenever you’re hurt or unhappy. I am waiting for you at home." Ye Zhaojue sighed forcefully.

And Bai Aoxue listened to Ye Zhaojue's words, only felt that the cheerful factor filled her whole heart and lung even was about to overflowing.

It turned out that this was the feeling of being cared by family.
