I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to find you some medicinal herbs and guar...In fact, there was no need for Anle Hou to explain too much. Ye Er also understood very well the embarrassing situation of Anle Hou's mansion now.

To be honest, he also wanted to help Xiaoqin's two older brothers so that they could have a smoother time in the officialdom.

He was just powerless, lacking the ability. To outsiders, he appeared as the Emperor's favored minister, the most trusted subject of the current ruler. But who didn't know that the present emperor was a suspicious man He claimed to trust him, but in reality...

Who could have guessed how many spies the emperor had planted around him

He was certain that if he continued to act on behalf of the Anle Hou Mansion and seek benefits for Xiao Qin's two elder brothers before the Emperor, the Emperor would no longer tolerate him.

Moreover, he actually believed that with Xiao Qin's two elder brothers' abilities, as long as they were given more time to adapt, they would definitely be able to excel in their areas of expertise, earning the respect and official positions of others.

Thinking this way, Ye Er nodded to Anle Hou, "My son-in-law understands the feelings of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Regarding the other party's actions towards my mother-in-law, my son-in-law will not take it to heart. Father-in-law, rest assured."

Since Lord Anle had taken the initiative to address them as his in-laws, he was acknowledging his marriage with Xiaoqin. Therefore, there was no need for him to be overly polite towards Lord Anle.

After finishing his words, he turned to Xiaoqin's two elder brothers and bowed deeply, speaking with resolute conviction, "Brothers, there is no need to worry about your future. The situation in the capital is tense at present, it is best to lie low for now. As long as one is a pearl, even if temporarily obscured by darkness, this cloth will eventually be lifted by someone, and it will continue to shine."

"But the wise ruler who could lift the veil for my subjects hasn't appeared yet. My brothers, perhaps you should patiently wait a while longer. What is destined to come will arrive eventually."

"!"

Ye'er's low voice, each word entering the ears of everyone present, instantly made the three men from the Xiao family stiffen and stand rooted to the spot.

His words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering the rationality of the three members of the Xiao family. The few stood face to face, speechless. Could this be said

>

If this were to reach the ears of the current emperor, wouldn't Ye Er lose his head and more

And the meaning behind Ye Er's words, both explicitly and implicitly, was that he knew who would take that position, but the time wasn't right yet, so the two Xiao brothers needed to be patient for a while longer.

The political situation in the palace is turbulent. To stand out during this time, regardless of whether you will hold a position of power or be favored by the Emperor, may not be a wise move.

> If you think about his words a little more deeply, the underlying meaning is...The current emperor can't sit on this dragon throne for too long.

The father and his two sons understood Ye Er's words. They were all scared out of their wits. Such outrageous things, it was surprising that Ye Er dared to say them, without fear of bringing trouble upon himself.

After a while, Lord Anle finally came to his senses. He realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly lowered his voice, "This must never be spoken of again. If anyone else heard it, the consequences would be unimaginable."

This is a statement that could lead to the extermination of one's entire clan.

It seems Anle Hou is truly very nervous. Instead, Ye Er smiled, "Son-in-law understands. Right now, there are only family here. Some things that need to be clarified should still be said. The brothers just returned to the capital, so it's good to know more about the situation in Beijing."

The three of them, Lord Anle and his sons, looked at Ye Er with increasingly obscure and unreadable eyes. For Ye Er to dare say such things in front of them showed that he truly saw them as family from the bottom of his heart, trusting them with all his being.

Otherwise, he would not have so readily revealed his own secrets. This realization filled the three of them with gratitude.

The most excited of all were the two Xiao brothers. At first, they worried that Ye Er would mistreat their younger sister. However, after this short period of interaction and communication, Ye Er intentionally showed them his sincere attitude. The brothers' concerns over these past few days vanished in an instant.

Perhaps Mother was right, Xiaqin marrying into the Ye family might not be as dire as a den of wolves.

Ye Er came today only to discuss their wedding on the eighth day of next month with them. Since Anle Hou had agreed, seeing that most other matters had been discussed, Ye Er directly started discussing with Anle Hou and his two sons how the wedding in the next month should proceed.

Everything needed for the marriage was actually already prepared by Ye Er, he didn't need Anle Houfu to prepare anything extra, he just needed their cooperation.

But in front of Ye Er, An Le Hou assured her time and again that they would make sure Xiao Qin married out of the Hou Mansion with great pomp and circumstance, and they would also persuade the Madam Hou to accept this fact.

Everything Ye Er did was for Xiao Qin. He didn't want there to be any unpleasant things on their wedding day that would make Xiao Qin unhappy. Hearing the three of them assure him again and again, he finally felt a little more at ease.

As the elder brother of the Xiao family, he had spent many years navigating the officialdom and was naturally adept at reading people. Through this brief interaction with Ye Er, he could naturally tell what he was worried about. So he proactively promised:

"Please rest assured, son-in-law. Your mother's family members will take good care of the situation and make her feel at ease. She will do what a mother should do and ensure that Xiaoqin's marriage goes smoothly."

Ye Er cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother."

Since he had received assurances and sincere attitudes from the three family members, Ye Er did not linger for long. After discussing some procedures briefly, he bid farewell.

Although Anle Hou and others repeatedly invited him to stay for a meal at the manor, Ye Er refused.

The Xiao brothers personally sent him out of the house. When the three reached outside the residence of Marquis Anle, Ye Er suddenly turned around and took the initiative to speak, “The things that both elder brothers are worried about will never happen. The county princess is the mistress in the Ye Residence, and no one would dare to look down upon her. And I also assure both elder brothers here that the county princess will definitely be the only mistress of the Ye Residence. This life, I, Ye Er, will absolutely not take a concubine.”

"!!!"

The Xiao brothers instantly widened their eyes in disbelief. Before either of them could speak, they heard Ye Er continue, "You two elders need not worry that the County Princess will be wronged. I will absolutely not allow her to be wronged."

Listening to Ye Er's promise, the two Xiao brothers were full of gratitude. The two big men couldn't help but redden their eyes. Now they were finally completely reassured and reacted by bowing to the person in front of them to express their thanks.

Their thanks were not only for their younger sister's future, but also for Ye Er's help in getting them back to the capital. They were grateful for everything he had done, and would never forget it in this lifetime.

Ye Er nodded slightly, accepting their thanks. Before leaving, she reminded them, "Brothers, if you can't persuade your mother-in-law to give up her previous insistence, perhaps you could mention the Northern Border Princess in front of her."f course knew that with her abilities, it was impossible to knock out everyone in this courtyard. But she had people behind her, what if the people behind her came here, and they made a move on everyo...
