After this year's Golden Chrysanthemum Banquet, the topic of discussion in the streets and alleys of Ding Jing City finally changed.

The young Lord Xiao of Lin An Marquis Mansion, with an extremely strong attitude, crushed the arrogance of his two concubines' sons. Although his actions were wild and arrogant, the demeanor he showed in a short time proved that the title of the Jade-faced Asura on the battlefield was not in vain.

The other person was Ye Lily, the "idiot".

It was as if she was reborn or finally aroused the bravery in the Ye family. Ye Lily, who shed her stupidity and cowardice, didn't show any fear when facing Cai Lin in the foot archery. The fierce temper she showed during the confrontation also made the young men and women of her generation quite wary.

As a result, in Guang Wen School, those who used to laugh at her a bit.

When Cai Lin came to Guang Wen School again, facing Ye Lily and staring at her with an unfriendly expression, he surprisingly didn't act rashly. It seemed that Ye Lily had left some shadows on him that day.

Feng An Ning looked at Cai Lin's appearance and laughed: "I didn't expect that bully to be a little afraid of you now."

Ye Lily glanced at Cai Lin. The latter quickly turned away, looking a little scared. She couldn't help laughing in her heart. In her eyes, Cai Lin was just a spoiled and naughty young master. She didn't want to waste too much energy on this. Besides, the Cai family was not far from its downfall. In the future, this noble young master would surely suffer a lot.

"But I heard that the two Xiao brothers were seriously injured, but Lin An Marquis didn't pursue Young Lord Xie's fault. Although he invited a doctor for the two brothers to recover, it was actually a kind of confinement." Feng An Ning sighed: "It seems that Lin An Marquis really prefers his legitimate son. It's true."

Ye Lily asked: "How did you know?"

"I eavesdropped on my parents' conversation." Feng An Ning was a little proud: "But if it were someone else, they would probably also favor Young Lord Xie. Not to mention himself, he is the son of Princess Yu Qing with royal blood..."

Ye Lily raised her eyebrows. To be honest, she always felt that the death of Princess Yu Qing of Lin An Marquis Mansion was a bit strange. Judging from Lin An Marquis' current attitude towards the two Xiao brothers, there was no reason why he let Fang Shi live safely when he learned of Princess Yu Qing's death.

While she was thinking, she saw Liu Yan walk in.

Liu Yan had a gentle smile on his face and happened to look towards Ye Lily. Meeting Ye Lily's gaze, Liu Yan couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

At the Golden Chrysanthemum Banquet, Ye Lily's performance finally made Liu Yan put away his contempt. He also began to notice Ye Lily's unusualness. And he was also sensitive to the feeling that Ye Lily seemed to be secretly paying attention to him. Although he didn't know why, this young gentleman always felt a little uncomfortable, as if being targeted. But thinking that Ye Lily was no more than a teenage girl, he felt that he was overthinking.

"Why do you keep staring at him?" Feng An Ning asked strangely. Then thinking of something, she was shocked: "Don't tell me you have a crush on him again?"

Ye Lily never mentioned Xu Hao now and was cold as if she had forgotten this person. This made those who watched the excitement notice something. Maybe Ye Lily knew that she wasn't worthy of the royal family and had gradually given up. It could be seen from not chasing after Xu Hao at the Golden Chrysanthemum Banquet. Although Liu Yan's status was lower, he was elegant and had extensive knowledge. It was natural for him to be liked by girls.

Ye Lily was a little headache and withdrew her gaze: "Of course not." She was just thinking that since Liu Yan didn't mention the "Strategy for Governance" at the Golden Chrysanthemum Banquet, he wasn't noticed by Xu Hao. But this person was ultimately a major problem. If he was used by Xu Hao in the future... Ye Lily's expression darkened. I'm afraid there would be endless troubles.

But now she didn't have the ability to eliminate Liu Yan secretly and unnoticed. She could only find another way.

...

In Bai Xiang Building in Ding Jing City, there was singing and dancing at the moment. Even during the day, the gauze curtains and night pearls placed everywhere made the whole building shining.

The sound of music was soft and continuous. Occasionally, someone stopped outside but could only look at it enviously. Not for anything else, even ordinary wealthy families would be a little short of money to enter Bai Xiang Building. Even a small pot of tea here was extremely expensive. It was a real money-burning cave.

At this moment, at a window seat, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes was sitting. The man's clothes were all of high quality, but he was ugly, black, and thin. Under the robe, his left leg was empty. It was Prince Yu.

"Did you make it clear with the Ye family?" After a while, he asked, his tone gloomy.

"Your Highness, it has been arranged with Mrs. Shen, the second wife of the Ye family. The female relatives of the Ye family will go to Wolong Temple to offer incense in three days. Then..."

"Three days." Prince Yu frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. Then he waved his hand: "Prepare everything that should be prepared. This prince hasn't met such an interesting person for a long time."

For so many years, his temperament was lewd, evil, and cruel. Countless women died in his hands. But those women, no matter how they resisted, couldn't cause any waves. In the entire Ming Qi, he had long known Ye Xin's fierce name. The daughter of such a fierce general, he wondered what it would be like. And at the Golden Chrysanthemum Banquet that day, the fierceness Ye Lily showed made him very interested. A wild cat that knew how to resist might be much more interesting than those wooden beauties.

He licked his lips, and a trace of lewdness flashed in his eyes.

Opposite the room closest to him, a young man in white was sitting in front of a glazed table. He was about twenty years old, handsome and had a very gentle temperament. After listening for a while, he said to the person in front of him as if watching a good show: "It seems that the girl you saved might have trouble again."

Opposite him was none other than Xiao Jack. He raised his lips and smiled carelessly: "Whether it's in advance or not, so what?"

"If you act in advance... Do they know?" The man in white hesitated to ask.

"Gao Yang, you don't understand one thing. Here now, I have the final say." Xiao Jack said calmly: "The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for me. If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain." When he said the last sentence, his eyes became darker and he didn't look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man.

The man named Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly: "Forget it. I'm just here to watch you. But in fact, I really don't have the confidence to stop you." He changed the topic: "But in three days, you also have to go to Wolong Temple to investigate something. Maybe you can save the beauty again." He smiled rather teasingly.

"Gao Yang, your vision is as bad as ever." Xiao Jack raised an eyebrow: "That girl of the Ye family is not easy to provoke."
