He merely turned his head and said to Marquis Anping.

"Let's go back to the manor and reunite. I know that there must be a lot of things that the Marquis Anping wishes to tell his family."

Marquis Anping nodded at him.

"Yes, this old official will take his leave first."

With that, he led his family and headed towards the manor.

The Marquis Anping's Wife did not want him to stay with Lin Xuecha any longer, so he barged in beside him, forcefully pushing Lin Xuecha out.

She and Lin Xueyu were left behind to serve the both of them.

Ninth Prince Su Nanxing squinted.

He stepped forward, walked to Lin Xuecha's side, and held her hand as he continued to walk.

Lin Xuecha was shocked, and instinctively retracted his hand, but the strength in his hand was tyrannical.

She did not shake.

When she looked up, she saw that the man was looking in front of her. He walked beside her without a word.

There were tears in Lin Xuecha's eyes, but at that moment, her lips curved up in an enchanting smile.

It was very warm, warm to the core.

She held Su Nanxing's hand, and looked towards Marquis Anping who was surrounded by the crowd, and a faint sense of loss appeared in her eyes.

It had been a long time since she had spoken to him.

However, there were other women beside him that needed to talk to him as much as she did.

After majestically returning to the Marquis Anping Palace, Su Nanxing pulled Lin Xuecha's hand and stood outside the Palace.

His eyes were fixed on her, the color of his pupils darkening slightly.

"After returning to the manor, no matter what the Marquis Anping said, if you think it's okay, listen, if it sounds bad, don't care. I'll tell you in time, what the answer is."

Lin Xuecha felt that it was strange.

she asked. "What would Daddy say to me if you suddenly said something like that to me?"

Su Nanxing did not reply.

He cupped her face in his hands and bent down to place a light kiss on her smooth forehead.

Lin Xuecha's heart throbbed for his sudden gentleness.

Su Nanxing released her.

"Go back to your residence. It's enough to remember what This King said to you."

Although Lin Xuecha was confused, he still nodded his head obediently.

"Go back."

Su Nanxing gave a bland grunt of acknowledgement.

Lin Xuecha smiled at him, turned, and returned to the residence.

However, a strange expression quickly flashed across the man's pitch-black eyes.

A light that others could not figure out shone in the depths of his eyes.

Lin Xuecha's figure had long since disappeared without a trace.

He stood at the door for a long time.

After waiting for a while, he finally turned around and slowly returned to the Ninth Prince Palace.

Everyone gathered in the great hall, Marquis Anping asked without saying a word.

The madame in the hall asked enthusiastically.

Originally, Marquis Anping's Wife could not watch any further.

Every time an aunt threw a lot of questions at him, he would scold her.

"Your Lordship has just returned to the manor. Please take your time to ask. What's the rush?!"

However, Marquis Anping who had not returned to the Capital City for a long time seemed to be apologizing to them all as he raised his hand to signal them.

"Don't worry about it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

The other aunts were even more cheerful.

At first, Marquis Anping's Wife was unable to bring down his pride, but in the end, even he could not hold back and asked.

"Master Hou, do you still want to return to the border? When are we going back? Can we go back later?"

Lin Xuecha sat beside Lin Xueyu, the two of them being the quietest.

All of the madams' questions were what they wanted to ask in their hearts.

He did not say anything else.

Marquis Anping pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth to reply.

"Now that the borders are safe, it's about time for it to be settled. If there aren't any big problems, I'll prepare to stay at the Capital City to watch the two of them getting married and having children with Xueyu."

On the faces of the Marquis Anping's Wife and the many aunts, all of them were happy.

Lin Xuecha also smiled.

Even though Lin Xueyu hadn't spoken much, a faint smile still stained her face.

Marquis Anping's Wife said while laughing excitedly.

"This is truly a joyous occasion. People in our residence have been looking forward to this day for over ten years. They have truly been looking forward to this day for far, far too long …"

As she spoke, she actually cried tears of joy. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, concealing her loss of composure.

Lin Xueyu stood up and walked towards the Marquis Anping's Wife.

She patted her back, and said to the Marquis Anping who was full of shame.

"Since father decided to stay, of course it would be a joyous thing. Mother, why are you crying? It's not good to let father watch …"

Marquis Anping raised his hand and sighed.

"I don't blame your mother for this. It's all my fault. Once I go to the border, I won't return for ten years. Even your growth isn't affected at all. Even your father hates you …"

Lin Xueyu's tender red lips slightly parted.

She had an indifferent expression and a smile on her face.

Father is the pride of Tianchen Kingdom, the hero of our race. It is difficult to achieve loyalty and filial piety in both worlds, Father is the leader, and I will let go of my family. Xueyu believes that no one in the world will complain even half a sentence to Father.

Lin Xuecha lowered his eyes, quietly listening to what Lin Xueyu had to say.

She was a woman of many talents and talents. She was also very understanding and understood the great principles that many men did not understand.

However, she still felt that it was strange.

In the month that they had returned to the residence, she had only seen Lin Xueyu three times.

Most of the time, she hid behind someone and didn't come out.

Last time, she performed a Water Ink Dance and won the admiration of the people around her.

However, she kept an extremely low profile and pushed her onto the stage. After she arranged the marriage, she herself, once again, became someone else.

Right now, she was the only one who was willing to come out. She didn't know what her intentions were.

He couldn't blame Lin Xuecha for being extra cautious against her.

She was indeed unable to fathom Lin Xueyu's thoughts.

Furthermore, the Marquis Anping's Wife had protected her extremely well and she had the Empress behind her back. As her backer, it was an easy thing for her to hide herself from others and make herself known to others.

Unlike her, she had been pushed aside from the very beginning.

It was constantly being pushed out and placed at the heart of the struggle.

He was wary of her because she was someone close to the empress.

Just like how Baili Lianer had treated her extremely well back then, and in the end, wasn't he still trying to frame her in front of Su Nanxing, being heartless and unjust, and cutting him down in twos and threefold …

Marquis Anping sighed deeply.

He did not know where Lin Xueyu had hit him, but he was slightly moved as well, and said immediately after.

"In the future, I will guard your side and accompany you."

Lin Xueyu glanced at Lin Xuecha, and droplets of light flowed out from the bottom of his eyes.

She laughed, "Father made a promise, we all understand. Furthermore, the emperor has already bestowed this marriage on Big Sister, betrothing her to His Highness Jing Ran. At the beginning of winter, Big Brother will be able to participate in Big Sister's wedding ceremony.

"Snow Tea was betrothed to His Highness Jing Ran?!"

Marquis Anping squinted his eyes.

His gaze immediately fell on Lin Xuecha's body, the change in his expression was extremely fast, and everyone could see it clearly.

"Little girl, what's going on? Weren't you engaged to the Fifth Prince? How could you be engaged to His Highness Jing Ran again?!"

Lin Xuecha stood up, the Marquis Anping's shocked expression changed slightly, and she saw it clearly.

But, logically speaking, the relationship between Su Nanxing and the Marquis Anping should be pretty good.

How could it be? Was it because of his current expression?

She lowered her head and thought for a moment before replying.

"One month ago, when Snow Tea first returned to her Capital City, she dissolved the marriage between her and the Fifth Prince. A few days ago, at Empress's birthday banquet, she was granted marriage to Princess Jing Ran.

"Cancelled the engagement?!"

Marquis Anping had a disapproving look as he asked, "How did you cancel the engagement?"

Marquis Anping's Wife took the opportunity to interrupt.

"Because, when Snow Tea returned to Capital City, her face just so happened to be allergic to it, and her appearance was ugly and unsightly. Fifth Prince thought that Snow Tea would grow up to be like this.

Furthermore, at that time when Xue Chuan spoke out in an overbearing manner, Fifth Prince was furious and ended the engagement with Xue Chou. However, this matter cannot be blamed on Fifth Prince, and it cannot be blamed on Xue Cha, the little girl. "

Lin Xueyu patted Marquis Anping's Wife's back.

She stood quietly to the side and did not speak again.

Lin Xuecha frowned, and leaned forward.

"Father, everything that happened in the past has already been decided, so there is no need to pursue it any further. Besides, both Xue Chou and the Fifth Prince are willing to do so. So, please do not be angry."

Marquis Anping's piercing gaze focused on Lin Xuecha.

He said, "Then what, will have to do with His Highness Jing Ran? Could it be that His Highness did not accept you as a disciple?"

Lin Xuecha glanced at Marquis Anping, and told him with a calm tone.

"Snow tea is His Highness' disciple, but …"

"Ridiculous!"

Without holding back, the Marquis Anping interrupted Lin Xuecha's reply, as though he was extremely angry, and slapped the table heavily.

"Then what about you, as your master, your relationship as master and disciple, why didn't you reject the order from the Emperor?!"

Lin Xuecha's expression could not help but change.

"Snow Tea and Your Highness love each other wholeheartedly. Why would you reject her? Besides, Snow Tea …"

Before she could finish, Marquis Anping stood up abruptly and walked towards her with deep anger.

He was a little disappointed with the way they walked.

"Follow me, father."

Lin Xuecha frowned, he turned and followed the Marquis Anping.

Marquis Anping walked quickly.

However, after walking for a while, he seemed to have thought of something and forced himself to slow down.

He waited for the hurried footsteps to catch up with him before he slowly regained his composure.

Lin Xuecha ran forward.

When the person in front of her stopped, she suddenly realized.

The place Marquis Anping had brought her was the place where she had paid tribute to her birth mother.

Pushing the door open, Marquis Anping's gaze focused on the most eye-catching tablet.

His eyes were filled with sadness and nostalgia.

Lin Xuecha pursed her lips, and called out, "Daddy …"

Marquis Anping let out a long sigh.

All of his emotions were deeply suppressed by him.

He first gave three incense sticks worth of time to her mother before closing the door and speaking to her.

"Sit down."

Lin Xuecha moved upon hearing the voice.

She sat on the opposite side of Marquis Anping.

Marquis Anping looked at her, staring at her without blinking, as if he was mourning for someone.

Lin Xuecha naturally knew who the man with the white temples was thinking through her.

She knew very well how much she and her mother resembled each other.

Otherwise, how would the Marquis Anping's Wife have been scared half to death that night? Even now, he still didn't dare to go against her.

Marquis Anping looked at her for a long time before sighing heavily.

He said, "You just said, you and Your Highness Jing Ran truly love each other. What is going on?"
