He frowned and said, "However, the Fourth Prince just mentioned to father that he would seek an edict from the Emperor. He wanted you to marry him and become the princess of the Prince of Yue, so that you could formally propose marriage one day. "I reject you from a distance because you have not reached the age for marriage yet, but the Fourth Prince has already decided that he will persevere and persevere when you reach the prime of your age before you go through the wedding ceremony."

What?

Lian Ruyue's face was filled with surprise for a moment, as she didn't expect that Feng Qianyue would counterattack so quickly.

But soon, a hint of a cold smile flashed past her eyes. This man was really despicable. He purposely used such a method to make her feel uncomfortable.

"So, I want to ask you, have you and the Fourth Prince been through this together? Otherwise, why would he be so attached to you?" Lian Yanqing's tone was ice-cold. It was obvious that he wasn't dissatisfied with this daughter of his for bringing her trouble. If Lian Ruyue surpassed her parents and was privately betrothed to them for the rest of their lives, he definitely wouldn't let her off!

From Lian Yan Qing's tone and manner, Lian Ru Yue could already tell what he was thinking. Ah, no matter what happened, his first thought was to blame her and misunderstand her.

Lian Ruyue composed herself. There was nothing out of the ordinary on her face. On the contrary, she appeared extremely calm and indifferent as she said:

"Father, your daughter doesn't have any private interactions with the Fourth Prince, and your daughter also doesn't have any thoughts of climbing into the ranks of the strong. Your daughter isn't willing to marry the Fourth Prince, so please look into it, Father."

"Really?" He wanted to confirm her intentions.

Lian Xiyue's eyes were sincere as she said, "I will not lie."

When Lian Yan Qing heard this, he nodded his head and said, "Originally, I did not think your talent was enough for you to become the wife of a noble king. But now, it seems that you are mature, mature, righteous, wise, and calm.

However, being the princess consort of the Yueyu Prince would be a great injustice to you. "Therefore, this marriage, as long as it isn't your personal wish, is good enough. Your father will think of a way to have His Highness put an end to this idea before he even asks for an edict from the emperor."

What he was worried about was not her future. What he was worried about was that Feng Qianyue didn't seem to have any ambitions; dancing and writing all day, planting vegetables and flowers, they were all useless to his career.

So, after all, she was only a tool in exchange for status in his eyes, and her happiness was never in his consideration.

Seeing Lian Ruyue's expression, Lian Yan Qing felt a bit uncomfortable, so he said, "Yue'er, you are my Prime Minister's daughter, so I must be careful when it comes to your marriage. Don't be careless. If your grandmother doesn't know about this, keep quiet for now. I will keep a close eye on the Fourth Prince. You must keep your distance from him and not let anyone catch you red-handed. In this Autumn Hunt, you will be included in the list of your peers, so you should be extra careful. "

"Yes, daughter understands." Lian Fu Yue bowed as a sinister light flashed past her eyes.

Walking out of Lian Yan Qing's study, the warm autumn sun shone on her body, but her face was as cold as winter, and even her exhaled breath was almost frozen!

"Eldest Miss …" "What are you doing here?" Qing Dai asked in a low voice.

"What is it?" she asked expressionlessly.

"Auntie Zhao just said that Auntie Xiao seems to have secretly gone to the ancestral temple to visit Third Miss ZZ …" "Yes," she replied.

When Lian Ruyue heard this, her icy eyes that were as calm as still water revealed a trace of ridicule. She said, "She finally couldn't hold it in anymore."

Hearing that she was going to have a fight with Madame Zhao every day, Madame Zhao, who was not afraid of shoes anyways, had the upper hand when she returned. This made her unable to vent her anger and was mocked by the other concubines.

"Do you need to report to the madame?" "Please advise me."

"No." Lian Ru Yue raised her hand and lightly said, "Madam's body hasn't been well recently, so there's no need to bother her with such a small matter. Moreover, Auntie Xiao loves her daughter so much, so it's understandable that she wants to see Third Sister.

"Yes."

Lian Clan Ancestral Temple.

Every time the juniors of the family made a mistake, they would be punished to come here and think. In his previous life, he didn't even know how many times he was punished to kneel here. Even the walls of the temple had a hole dug out by her.

And this time, the one who had been punished to think in this place was the third young miss, Lian Shiya.

"Someone come, someone come. Did you not send any water?" I'm so thirsty that smoke is coming out of my throat! " In that gloomy room, Lian Shiya was lying on the bed as she impatiently shouted a few times. Her voice was as hoarse as a duck's voice …

"Ya Er, Ya Er …" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.

Lian Shiya's entire body trembled as she abruptly turned around, only to see a woman in plain clothes standing at the door with tears flowing down her face.

"Mother? "Mother …" It took Lian Shiya a long time to recognize this plain and frightening person as her aunt, and she immediately cried out.

"Ya Er, Ya Er, don't cry. Have you recovered …" Auntie Xiao walked over and put her arms around her.

Mom, you finally came. I can't take it anymore, I can't take it any longer. Quickly bring me back to Clear Spring Academy. Lian Shiya's last line of defense in her heart was finally defeated as she cried louder and louder.

Aunt Xiao's heart ached as she looked at Lian Shiya. The daughter she was originally so proud of had a beautiful face with bright eyes and white teeth, and a picturesque appearance, but now —

His entire body was dirty and messy, and from time to time, there was an unpleasant smell coming from his body. He had lost a lot of weight, and his face was as pale as a vegetable.

It was just that there were no mirrors in the temple. Even Shiya didn't know what she looked like right now, or else she would have collapsed.

Auntie Xiao raised her sleeves and wiped away the dust on her face. "Ya Er, bear with it any longer. Your mother is currently thinking of a way to bring you back from here. It won't be long. You have to hold on, do you understand?" "When we get out of here, I'll take revenge on Rongxue and Lianyue!"

Hearing that, Lian Shiya immediately cried out in a sharp voice, "You still want me to stay here? Mother, you know what kind of life I live here, without any servants to serve me, I have to apply medicine myself, eat and drink by myself, look at these dishes, they are cold and icy, they make my stomach ache, in addition, every day I have to copy down the scriptures, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore! "

"Ya Er!" Auntie Xiao's heart ached so much that she wanted to cry. Her eyes exuded a strong sense of jealousy as she said, "Madam, Rongxue, even Ru Yue's father is too heartless! How could I bear leaving you here by yourself? You are a descendant of the Lian family after all. "

"Mother, Mother!" Hurry up and think of a way to get me out of here! " Lian Shiya tightly gripped Aunt Xiao's hand and refused to let go.
