Very quickly, the various Palace Masters also seemed to have realized that Yang Qing was not too happy about this marriage bestowment. Everyone quietly exchanged glances and left, leaving only a few people standing there.
Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing looked at Miao Yi, who was standing there in a daze. Both of them didn't know what to say. Because they weren't clear about the situation, they felt that something was amiss.
Slowly opening his eyes, Yang Qing's fists were still tightly clenched. His gaze shifted from Miao Yi to Qin Weiwei, who was standing motionlessly with her head lowered. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out of the Grand Hall alone, his steps still steady.
Not long after, Yun Zhiqiu entered the Grand Hall. She glanced at Miao Yi, then walked over to Qin Weiwei's side and pulled her hand. "Little Sister, let's go!"
"Stop!" With a ferocious expression, he asked, "Yun Zhiqiu, is this your doing?" Miao Yi abruptly exclaimed, his figure flashing in front of her in a flash.
Yun Zhiqiu retorted, "What could I possibly do?"
Miao Yi bellowed, "Ouyang?? With Ouyang? Interrogate the thief Chu Chun to coax the class to dare to be rotten by the whip to protect? Wu Huang Di? Seven? Sled mackerel
Yun Zhiqiu replied calmly, "You're the one who caused this, and you're asking me what's going on?"
Miao Yi was furious. "You dare say this has nothing to do with you? Yun Zhiqiu, I'm telling you, there's a limit to my tolerance. Shouldn't you have told me about this beforehand? What do you take me for? "
Yun Zhiqiu sneered and said, "You feel wronged? The aggrieved one is Qin Weiwei, but the one who feels the most aggrieved is me! You're the one who stirred up this mess, and now you're blaming me? Do you have any idea how I felt when Mu Fanjun pushed me into a corner? You don't have to agree to this. You can go against the decree. If it weren't for the fact that your Third Brother is in the hands of others, I wouldn't have to suffer such grievances. I could have just left. Niu Er, what's so great about yelling at your own wife? If you're so great, you can just go against the decree. As long as you don't care about Third Bro's life or death, I have nothing to say. I'll leave with you immediately. There's no need for me to swallow my own grievances! Vivi. Let's go! "After saying that, he dragged Qin Weiwei away.
Miao Yi stood rooted to the ground, his expression a little twisted. It wasn't that he didn't like women, nor would he dislike having too many of them. He couldn't stand being pressured like this. If someone was pressuring him, he wanted to resist. However, his third brother had become his weakness. Resist the imperial edict? It was definitely unwise at the moment!
Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing didn't know what was going on, so it wasn't convenient for them to approach. It wasn't convenient for him to say anything, so he just accompanied her from afar …
Decadent! Yang Qing, who had returned to the Head Steward's residence, could only be described as dispirited. He slumped into a chair, his eyes lifeless and powerless!
Qing Mei and Qing Ju had never seen him like this before. Daren, who would always be able to deal with any setback in high spirits, now seemed to be completely defeated. The two of them were greatly startled, not knowing when they could cause him to be so defeated. Qing Mei anxiously asked, "Daren, what happened?"
The two of them kept asking questions for a while. Yang Qingfang said weakly, "I can't stop it. The Celestial Sage has bestowed a marriage …"
He narrated everything that happened in a messy tone. Qing Mei and Qing Ju looked at each other speechlessly. They were also shocked, and they understood why he was like this. It was because the two of them knew that this daughter of his was his weakness.
Then, they heard Yang Qing ramble on as though he was talking to himself, "Mu Fanjun has always been at odds with Yun Aotian. Now that Mu Fanjun has placed Yun Zhiqiu in such an important position, there must be something fishy going on. In the future, who knows what Mu Fanjun will use the Miao couple for. The future of the two of them is unclear, and I'm afraid that disaster is not far away. This matter involves such a high level, and it's not something I can resist. Once I'm involved, I'm afraid I'll be crushed to pieces. How can I sacrifice myself to serve them? I've been secretly plotting a way out, and I don't want to be buried with them. I'm prepared to have a way out if something unexpected happens. Who would've thought that this would suddenly happen? It's over! That silly child. Silly! If she marries Miao Yi, then I'll be tied to Miao Yi's chariot. I'll have to accompany them through fire and water! "
Qing Mei sighed, "Why didn't Milord explain everything to the Young Miss earlier?"
It's not like all of you can't tell that she has always been attached to Miao Yi. If she knew that I was secretly plotting to betray Miao Yi, I'm afraid she would leak the secret. Miao Yi is not a softhearted person, and has always been on guard against me. We are just using each other, and both of us are well aware of this. Once the secret is leaked, he will definitely make a move against me. How can I not be careful with such an important matter? How can I tell that silly girl?! "
How could I tell that silly girl? "The two girls sighed softly. Although Miao Yi seemed unstable now, he was already a force to be reckoned with. He was on good terms with the various sects of the Fifth Earthly Branch, and his relationship with the Four Hosts of the Sea of Constellations was obvious as well. After marrying Yun Zhiqiu, it was only natural that he would have connections with the Great Devil Realm. Rumor had it that he was also on good terms with Buddhist Nation's Grandmaster Qi Jie. And now, he was going to marry the daughters of the Realm Beyond Heaven's Second Master. With Yang Qing's current strength, there was no way he could compete with Miao Yi.
In short, there was no way he could compete with Miao Yi in the Celestial Nation. Furthermore, the consequences of defying the decree would be that he wouldn't be able to get past the Realm Beyond Heaven. The only way was to escape the Celestial Nation with Qin Weiwei. However, even if it was easier said than done, whether or not he could actually escape was another problem. Even if he could, not everyone would be able to wander around the Sea of Constellations, Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, Devil Nation, Boundless Nation, and the like like like Miao Yi. There were many things that were easier said than thought. However, those were other people's problems. Putting oneself in their shoes and experiencing it was not as simple as it seemed. How many lives did one have to gamble? You couldn't afford to gamble with your entire family. Not just anyone could afford to gamble. Not to mention, who in the outside world knew who Yang Qing was? At most, they would know that he was Miao Yi's subordinate.
Seeing Yang Qing in this state, the two girls knew that he had no other way out. He had no choice but to take the risk. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so powerless and dispirited.
The three of them remained silent for a long time. Then, Yang Qing suddenly stood up.
The two girls were a little surprised. They realized that in just an instant, Yang Qing seemed to have regained his vigor, as though he had recovered from the unbearable blow. He strode out the door.
"Milord, where are you going?" the two girls asked.
Yang Qing replied solemnly, "To see the Palace Lord!"
"Milord, please reconsider!" The two girls hurriedly moved to stop him, afraid that he would risk his life to the Palace Lord's side. There were a bunch of Purple Lotus experts there, and most of them were the Palace Lord's trusted aides. Any one of them could easily destroy him.
Yang Qing looked at the two girls and knew that they had misunderstood. He smiled bitterly and said, "I am going to give in to the Palace Lord."
"..." The two girls were dumbfounded, wondering if they had misheard.
However, Yang Qing slowly looked outside and said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no use in going against them. It will only make things worse. I should express my loyalty to the Palace Lord! I must protect my position as Head Steward. The Palace Lord is about to be promoted to Overlord. If he can be promoted to Fifth Earthly Branch's Head Steward … I am the only one who holds true authority. The higher-ups will have to rely on me. I will be Weiwei's greatest support and will not allow Weiwei to suffer. Otherwise, what right does Weiwei have to be on equal footing with the Second Master's daughter? Since that silly girl has decided to walk this path, as her father, I have no other ability but to help her! "As he finished speaking, he passed between the two of them and strode away.
Looking at his departing figure, Qing Ju sighed, "Pity the hearts of all parents in the world. Ever since Milord had the Young Miss, he no longer dared to take risks so easily! "
Qing Mei sighed as well, "That was a one-night stand all those years ago. I wonder what kind of person that Madam is. If she knew that her own daughter was about to be married off, I wonder how she would feel!"
Miao Yi hid alone in the silent quarters used for cultivation. He didn't cultivate, but instead lay on the bed by himself. With both hands on the pillow, he crossed one of his legs and stared unblinkingly at the ceiling. No emotions could be seen on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhiqiu, who was receiving the guests in the main hall, was smiling. Yang Qing had already made his intentions clear, and he had already made his stance known. As expected of a wise man. One could only describe him as' a wise man submits to circumstances'.
After listening to Yang Qing's stance, Yun Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Head Steward Yang need not be so courteous. From now on, we are one family. After I take over Jade Capital Peak, I will still need to rely on you. The position of Fifth Earthly Branch's Head Steward belongs to you, Yang Qing."
"Thank you for your favor, Overlord!" Yang Qing bowed respectfully.
"Since we are one family, there is no need to be so polite. Since Head Steward Yang has already thought things through, why don't you go and talk some sense into Little Sister Weiwei? She won't be happy for the rest of her life if she can't get your blessings on her marriage. She is currently in the back garden, and her mood is very gloomy. This isn't a happy occasion!"
"Understood!" Yang Qing replied.
Yun Zhiqiu looked to the side and said, "Xue 'Er, bring the Head Steward to see Little Sister Weiwei."
Yang Qing excused himself, and Xue 'Er followed his orders to lead the way. After all, there were many women in the harem, and it wasn't a place for men to barge in as they pleased.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhiqiu's smile faded, and she let out a faint sigh. She stood up and went to look for Miao Yi. When she arrived at the silent quarters for cultivation, she pushed open the door, walked straight to the stone bed, and slowly sat down. She looked at the indifferent Miao Yi, and reached out to caress his face, gently asking, "Are you still angry at me?"
Miao Yi replied, "No! You are right. The one who suffered the most is you. I am useless. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to suffer like this. "
Yun Zhiqiu sighed, "Niu Er, as long as you don't betray me, I am willing to suffer any grievances for you. Are you sure you won't resent me?"
Miao Yi shifted his gaze from the ceiling to her face, and smiled faintly, "What's there to resent? I should be more than happy. I have three more women all of a sudden. I'm afraid other men would be more than envious of me. I think I should be happy even in my dreams."
Yun Zhiqiu slowly leaned over, pressing on top of him, and sighed, "I know you're actually unhappy. I believe you when you say you like women. I can see it from the men in my Yun family. Which man doesn't like having beautiful women by their side? But you're someone who can't stand being coerced. You definitely won't like it if it's forced on you! You can think about it from another perspective. Even I, as your wife, don't mind. Just treat it as your blissful life. How beautiful would it be to have so many beauties on your left and right? Don't think about all the grievances you've been forced into. How can a man not be able to stand even a little bit of grievance in order to achieve greatness? When you stand at the pinnacle, you will realize that these grievances are nothing to you. "
Miao Yi used his free hand to stroke her back, and said, "They're pricking me. Next time, when you wear these messy things on your head, don't lean on me."
In the pavilion in the back garden, after the father and daughter reunited, Qin Weiwei cried tears of joy. She was truly overjoyed to receive Yang Qing's approval and blessings.
