The princess of Beijng Frontier… Ye Er’s reminder immediately made the two brothers realize how to persuade their mother.
After seeing Ye Er off, the two brothers glanced at each other and turned to go to their parents’ courtyard.
As soon as they reached the door, they heard their parents arguing fiercely. It was always the same thing that caused such a commotion.
Their mother still insisted on using Ye Er and Xiao Qin’s marriage to pressure Ye Er again, forcing him to help their brothers secure a better future.

After a moment of listening, deep helplessness appeared in both their eyes. They truly couldn’t understand their mother’s stubbornness, but the Xiao brothers had already found a suitable reason to persuade her, so at this moment, they glanced at each other and continued walking inside.
As soon as the two brothers stepped inside, they saw their mother sitting in a chair, wiping away tears. She was still lamenting how hard her life had been all these years and what she had sacrificed for the family.
To be honest, no one denies her contributions and hard work for this family over the years. However, what she did in Xiaoqin’s matter is indeed wrong right now.
At this moment, Madam Hou saw the two brothers walk in and immediately glared at them fiercely. She questioned them coldly, “Are you finally satisfied now? After meeting Ye Er, are you finally convinced that he is an upright and honorable man who is rare to find? He absolutely couldn’t possibly bully Xiao Qin.”
You all have eyes, you should be able to see that he has feelings for Xiaoqin, right? After Xiaoqin married into the Ye family, she didn’t have any in-laws to suppress her. Plus, with how prosperous the Ye family is now, she became the mistress of the house the moment she married in.
“You don’t know, throughout the entire capital, how many families would kill to have such a marriage. I’ve done everything I could for her. What else do you want?”
“…..”
At this point, the three father and son were speechless. They listened to Madam Hou’s words, claiming she did everything for Xiao Qin’s good, but found it utterly unconvincing.
Although what Mrs. Hou said was reasonable, Ye Er was indeed a popular figure in the capital now. Many families in this vast capital wanted to find ways to marry their daughters off to Ye Er and become the mistress of the Ye Residence. This way, they could help support their own family.
Even the marriageable daughters in this capital city yearn to be connected to Ye Er. After all, he is handsome, holds a high official position, and enjoys the Emperor’s trust. Marrying into the Ye family would indeed mean no oppressive in-laws.

All the marriageable girls thought that marrying a man like Ye Er would be like burning incense to their ancestors.
In the eyes of Anle Hou and his two sons, no matter how good Ye Er’s conditions were, they couldn’t compare to Xiao Qin’s sincerity.
If she were willing to marry, and Ye Er was such an outstanding man, they would surely be a match made in heaven.
If Xiao Qin herself doesn’t want to, even if Ye Er is exceptionally talented, the three of them, father and son, wouldn’t want to see Xiao Qin wronged.
It’s just that things have developed to this point, Ye Er and Xiao Qin’s marriage is set in stone, there’s no way for them to change it.
Even though Ye Er had pleaded with the Emperor on their behalf, and the Emperor had already decreed that they should return to Beijing, they still insisted that they were doing it for Xiao Qin’s happiness and preferred to remain in that remote place.
But they could only return because the emperor had personally issued an imperial decree. How could they just say they were willing to go back and then actually go back?
Once they truly suggested resuming their posts, it would be a provocation to the Emperor’s majesty.
They just told their own mother this, but in reality they all knew that returning to the capital was a done deal, something that couldn’t be changed. As for Ye Er’s kindness, they were willing to accept it if they wanted to, and they had to accept it even if they didn’t want to.
Since they couldn’t change the current situation, the most important thing right now was to allow Xiao Qin to marry into the Ye family with dignity and honor, without being subject to public criticism.

The Xiao brothers are both brave and intelligent; they would never need to use this marriage to coerce anyone or gain any benefits for themselves.
Now, the most important matter at the Duke Anle’s mansion is to make all-out preparations for Xiao Qin’s wedding and ensure her smooth departure from the mansion.
Big Brother Xiao was staring fixedly at his mother, who was still fuming with anger. He got straight to the point, “Mother, do you still remember the relationship between the Princess Consort of Beijiang and Xiao Qin? According to my son’s understanding, the Princess Consort of Beijiang is very optimistic about the marriage between Ye Er and Xiao Qin.”
“If the Anle Houfu continues to make things difficult for Ye Er and Xiao Qin, Mother, have you considered what might happen if Xiao Qin goes to the Northern Border Princess for help? What do you think the Princess will think of our Anle Houfu if she gets involved?”
“…”
Lady Hou indeed did not expect that someone would bring up the Princess of Beijiang at this time.
And she always thought this was just a matter between the Ye residence and the Anle Hou residence. The Northern Border Princess shouldn’t be involved, right?
Now that her son had spoken, she remembered, the Princess of Bei Jiang was indeed kind to Xiaoqin, even bordering on friendship.
If Xiaoqin really went to the Northern Border Princess for help, she would be in the wrong. She wanted to take advantage of Ye Er and blackmail him.
If the Northern Frontier Princess truly came to question her, how would she respond?
I hadn’t thought of that before, and now that I think about it, I’m speechless.
The Beijiang Wangfu’s status in the capital is now different from before, and the Beijiang Princess is not an ordinary woman confined to the inner courtyard.
After several interactions, she naturally saw that the Princess of Beijang was decisive, clear about her love and hate. If she knew that the Anle Marquis’s Mansion repeatedly used Xiaoqin’s marriage to blackmail Ye Er, with the Princess of Beijang’s character, she would definitely look down on the Anle Marquis’s Mansion completely, and might even find ways to help Xiaoqin marry successfully.
By then, the princess of Beijang would never look at the Anle Hou Mansion again.
House Madam thought of this, her eyes blankly staring at her son, her pupils devoid of any light, appearing so hollow. She seemed as if her soul had been emptied.
Her lips twitched unconsciously, as if she wanted to speak, but no sound came out. She clearly wanted to defend herself, but couldn’t find the words.
Hou Anle saw that after moving the Northern Border Princess out, his wife finally calmed down. He narrowed his eyes slightly and before she could speak, he continued his son’s words: “I wonder if Madam still remembers a few days ago, this Hou had already guessed that there might be some unknown relationship between the Northern Border王府 and Ye Er. On the surface, Ye Er is the emperor’s favorite minister and a trusted subject of the emperor, but who can really say who Ye Er truly belongs to?”
“My lady, think about this. What if Ye Er is truly as I suspect? If he tells the people in Bei Jiang Wangfu about this, how will they view our Anle Houfu? In the future, should we ever need to ask for help from Princess Bei Jiang, after this incident, do you really think someone with her temperament would lend us a hand?”
