Sickly Scholar suddenly raised his head and glared fiercely at Ye Li. The expression on his face changed unpredictably. There was anger at being seen through by Ye Li, hatred and unwillingness towards Mo Xiuyao, as well as an indescribable sense of inferiority and sadness. "You make it sound so nice, but don't you just want the prescription?" Ye Li nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "I'm naturally saying this for the prescription and for my husband's life. Could it be that I'm trying to be a matchmaker for Third Pavilion Master? It's not like I have nothing better to do. With the prescription, I'll be happy if my Prince can keep his life. Now that you've recovered, whether or not you want to pursue Pavilion Master Leng is your own business. Speaking of which, if Second Pavilion Master really ends up in Third Pavilion Master's hands in the future, this consort will feel guilty. "From Ye Li's point of view, the strange Sickly Scholar was not worthy of Leng Liuyue at all. So she could only use Leng Liuyue as an opening to talk to Sickly Scholar and would definitely not help him pursue Leng Liuyue. Of course, a woman like Leng Liuyue would definitely have a firm heart. If Sickly Scholar was unable to move her, then other people's ideas might not work.
"You!" Sickly Scholar hated it the most when people said that he wasn't worthy of Leng Liuyue. Although he knew in his heart that he wasn't worthy of his adopted sister, he couldn't allow others to say it.
Ye Li saw that she had said enough, so she got up and prepared to leave. "Third Pavilion Master, think about it carefully. Do you want to try keeping your life, or do you want to gamble with my Prince and see who has a harder life? I promise ….. that I will find a suitable husband for Pavilion Master Leng before you die. "
Leaning against the bed, Sickly Scholar coughed violently as he watched Ye Li leave without any hesitation. "Ye Li! You're ruthless enough ….. "Ye Li had indeed grasped his Achilles' heel. He was never a gentleman, and if he really had to watch Leng Liuyue marry someone else, it would be worse than letting him die.
No one knew what Ling Tiehan and Leng Liuyue had talked about. Later that night, the two of them returned to the Prince Ding Mansion as if nothing had happened.
After dinner, Ye Li and Xu Qingchen had a rare moment of leisure as they played chess and chatted. Sickly Scholar asked the guards in the courtyard to deliver a piece of cloth that was filled with ancient handwriting. It was made of an unknown material. Ye Li unfolded it and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She handed the cloth to Qin Feng behind her and instructed him to personally deliver it to Shen Yang and Doctor Lin's courtyard.
Ye Li looked more relaxed now that she had finally resolved the matter that had been weighing on her mind for a long time.
Xu Qingchen pondered as he fiddled with a chess piece and said, "You've obtained the prescription for the Bi Luo Flower. Why are you so happy?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy. Is Big Brother not happy?"
Xu Qingchen shook his head and said with a smile, "A grown woman cannot be kept at home."
Ye Li was embarrassed by his words. She had already been married for more than two years. Xu Qingchen put down a chess piece indifferently and said with a smile, "You deliberately stirred up the emotional entanglements between Ling Tiehan and his two siblings to force Sickly Scholar to submit. Ling Tiehan is still upset and has not reacted yet. When he comes back to his senses, he will make trouble for you. " Ye Li did not care at all. She raised her hand and put down a chess piece to swallow a few of Xu Qingchen's white pieces and said, "Ling Tiehan has the nerve to make trouble for me? That Pavilion Master Leng is already over thirty years old. She has spent her entire youth on him. He should give someone an explanation, right? "
Xu Qingchen's hand that was holding the chess piece paused for a moment. He looked at her with a smile and said, "Why do I feel like you're implying something?"
Ye Li immediately felt a chill down her spine when Xu Qingchen stared at her with a smile that was not a smile. However, she still maintained her composure and said, "Is it wrong? In this world, what kind of good family can a woman over thirty find? Regardless of whether Ling Tiehan knows or not, as her Big Brother, he allowed his adopted sister to be over thirty years old without even asking about her marriage. Isn't that too unreasonable? To put it nicely, Pavilion Master Ling is obsessed with martial arts and is not disturbed by external matters. To put it bluntly, he is a scum who has ruined a woman's life! "
"Scum?" Xu Qingchen's smile deepened. "Little Sister Li 'er, if you have anything else to say to your Big Brother, you can say it all."
Ye Li sweated and scolded herself in her heart for being so disappointing. She did not know why she was so afraid of Xu Qingchen and not Xu Qingze, who had been even more serious since childhood. Of course, this was not just Ye Li's fault. In fact, the three brothers of the Xu family were more afraid of the gentle and refined Xu Qingchen. "I'm not talking about you, Big Brother. Big Brother, don't take it personally." Xu Qingchen nodded. Seeing Ye Li's rare guilty look, he sighed helplessly and asked, "Did Princess Anxi come to see you?"
Ye Li was a bit embarrassed. Xu Qingchen's love life was not something she should care about. "Princess Anxi didn't say anything about you, but …" Princess Anxi was the princess of a country and the Crown Princess. The people of Nanzhao were completely different from the culture of the Central Plains. They had no interest in the so-called Imperial Jade Seal, but they still stayed in Glass City for a long time. How could Ye Li not know why? Although Xu Qingchen did not hide from Princess Anxi, he was busy with the affairs in the northwest and did not have much time to accompany her. Every time Princess Anxi came to see Ye Li, she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. Ye Li sympathized with her.
"Big Brother, what do you think of Princess Anxi? Second Brother is about to get married. Uncle and Aunt should have urged you, right? "After thinking for a while, Ye Li decided to ask Xu Qingchen's opinion. Not only because of Princess Anxi, but also because of Eldest Aunt, Grandfather, and Uncle, who had always hoped that Big Brother would get married soon. "Princess Anxi is not young anymore. No matter what you think, you should tell her clearly."
Xu Qingchen nodded and said, "I know. I will take care of it."
"Big Brother, you …"
"Anxi and I are not suitable." Xu Qingchen smiled calmly and said, "She is the Crown Princess of Nanjiang. One day, she will inherit the throne of Nanzhao." Ye Li frowned. She was not sure whether Xu Qingchen meant it or not. "What if Princess Anxi is willing to give up the throne of Nanzhao?"
"We are just friends."
Just friends?
Xu Qingchen's refusal was clear in this short sentence. Ye Li could only sigh regretfully in her heart. It seemed that Big Brother and Princess Anxi were not destined to be together.
Ye Li threw down the chess piece in her hand and looked at Xu Qingchen, saying, "In that case, I won't talk about this with you. But … if you really don't have this idea, you should tell Princess Anxi clearly as soon as possible." Xu Qingchen nodded and said, "I know. Li 'er, what else do you want to say?" Ye Li looked at Xu Qingchen seriously and asked, "Big Brother and Uncle, do you have any misgivings about the Prince and the Prince Ding Mansion?" Xu Qingchen was startled. He also put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at Ye Li, asking, "Li 'er, why do you think so?"
Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Big Brother, I grew up in the Xu family. When I was young, Eldest Uncle and Big Brother taught me a lot. Both Eldest Uncle and Eldest Brother are talented people. It is rare to have one of them in the world. And the Xu family is lucky to have two of them. These days, Eldest Brother and Uncle have worked hard on many things in the northwest. But … with Uncle and Eldest Brother's abilities, you don't have to work so hard, do you? "Xu Qingchen lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, saying," Is it Prince Ding's idea? "
