Translator: Vesper

  Qiao Tian Chang tried to sort the incidents that had happened previously. From Nangong Che to Nangong Yue’s arrival, then the marriage alliance, and the Princess becoming a Prince and so on.

  Each incident may not seem related but come to think of it right now, there was an indelible connection between them.

  Thoughts flashed in his eyes: “It seems that sending Nan Qi out was the right choice.”


  Qiao Tian Chang snuck out of the General’s Residence, he did not alarm anyone and directly headed to the imperial palace, he then met Xiao Qi Feng in the imperial study.

  ”Nan Qi is back, he brought us some news which is not considered good news for us.

  Nan Qi’s arrival indicated that Nan Yu’s wedding was about to begin. In the morning, Qing Shuang was brought out by others to apply makeup, wiping it away and applying it once more almost caused her to be enraged.

  Although the two of them were only subordinates in the eyes of others, there was no need for such a scene, but the liveliness of the wedding caused the guest to smack their lips.

  The General’s Residence really put in a lot of effort in it, just the wedding of two subordinates was so lively. If it was the master……

  The two of them were orphans, in the end, Qing Shuang’s master represented their parents.

  Nan Qi stood by the side as he watched his elder brother and sister-in-law perform the wedding rituals, his face was filled with excitement.

  After the bride returned to the room, Nan Qi went to have a drink with Nan Yu, he even helped him block off many toasts, allowing him to escape from the drinking table.

  After Qing Shuang and Nan Yu’s wedding, the atmosphere in the capital seemed to be tense.

  Xiao Yi Lin had sent people to ask Xiao Zi Xuan to return to his residence after his initial struggle.

  Xiao Zi Xuan was completely stunned after hearing the news, she gave a doubtful look at the person who passed the message: “Do you know why father wants me to return?”


  ”This subordinate does not know.”


  Xiao Zi Xuan frowned, she then waved to send that person off.

  Ling Luo looked at Xiao Zi Xuan’s worried look and said: “Father-in-law should have something up, that’s why he asked you to return.”


  Xiao Zi Xuan displayed a forceful smile: “I hope so.”


  After preparing for a while, Xiao Zi Xuan returned with her servant girl. Instead of meeting in the front hall, it was in Xiao Yi Lin’s study.

  Xiao Zi Xuan’s heartbeat accelerated after being brought to the study, she had a bad premonition, could it be that Xiao Yi Lin already knows something?

  After giving it a thought, she did not think so, if he really knew, he would have asked for her long ago, why would he wait until this moment?

  Xiao Zi Xuan kept consoling herself, but that intense feeling did not disappear.

  After knocking on the door of Xiao Yi Lin’s study, Xiao Zi Xuan pushed the door and walked in after obtaining his permission.

  ”Father, why did you ask me to return?” Xiao Zi Xuan tried her best to look as normal as possible, but that was if her stiff smile was overlooked.

  Xiao Yi Lin turned around and looked at the anxious Xiao Zi Xuan, he pointed at the chair opposite him: “Have a seat.”


  Xiao Zi Xuan looked at Xiao Yi Lin but was unable to notice his expression, she felt really worried because of that.

  ”Father……”


  ”Have a seat, father only wishes to have a chat with you,” Xiao Yi Lin suddenly smiled, not only did that smile not allow Xiao Zi Xuan to have a peace of mind, she felt even more afraid.

  Xiao Zi Xuan gulped down her saliva, she looked nervously at Xiao Yi Lin: “Father, you……”


  ”Xuan’er, how has father treated you?” Xiao Yi Lin smiled as he looked at Xiao Zi Xuan, he had a gentle expression, just like in the past.

  Xiao Zi Xuan was stunned, she then lowered her head: “Father treats Xuan’er very well.”


  ”Is it really so? Then Xuan’er, Father asks you once more, if you must choose between father and Ling Luo, who will you choose?” Xiao Yi Lin narrowed his eyes as he looked inexplicably at Xiao Zi Xuan.

  Xiao Zi Xuan was startled: “Father, how could I choose?”


  ”Why can’t you?”


  Xiao Zi Xuan’s expression changed a little, she looked anxiously at Xiao Yi Lin: “Father, what is going on? Why are you asking such things?”


  Xiao Yi Lin directly looked at Xiao Zi Xuan, his gaze was no longer as gentle as earlier, it was really cold.

  ”Xuan’er, where is your jade pendant?” Xiao Yi Lin’s gaze landed on Xiao Zi Xuan’s gaze.

  Xiao Zi Xuan unconsciously touched her waist, her expression changed a little: “In the Ling Residence, I forgot to bring it along when I went out.”


  ”Forgot to bring it along?”


  ”Yes.”


  ”Then Xuan’er, can you tell father what this is?”
