He ignored the astonishment in the eyes of the person sitting in front of him and continued, ”But you know Su Qian Xing's character better. You can't just break us apart, it will leave a bad impression on your master, and this will directly affect the future rise and fall of the General's Estate. So, you have to think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds.”

”Although I have a good relationship with Su Qianxing, it's only in private. Even though there's no public secret in the capital, there's no parents' order either. As long as you can use a reasonable method to expel me, even Su Qianxing can't say anything.”

She enunciated every word in her heart, as if she had seen it all with her own eyes.

”Father, what she said is the truth. You want me and the crown prince to …” ”How is this possible …”

Even though he had yet to reveal his identity, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that he belonged to someone else. And that person was Duke Han, not the crown prince!

Xiao Qingyi laughed, obviously wanting to blow the matter. ”What, you think it's unbelievable? I have a new piece of news for you to hear. ”

Xiao Xiyu clenched her fists. Unknowingly, she had already led him by the nose. ”What?”

”Actually, the marriage contract was already set long ago. Zhao Jin is only a third rank, and his son has no rank within the imperial court. Zhao Jin was not stupid, so he knew that the marriage contract was already set long ago. Now that he is suddenly mentioned, don't you find it strange?”

The only reason for this was that Xiao Zhi wanted to use this so-called marriage contract to force Xiao Xi Yu. He already knew what Xiao Xi Yu was thinking. If she used the marriage contract as an excuse, she would most likely compromise.

After all, Su Qian was still better than that nobody.

Xiao Xi Yu was not stupid and immediately reacted after being reminded. It was precisely because she understood this that she became even more angry.

”Father, how could you do such a thing? Even if it's for the future of the General's Estate, you shouldn't take my happiness as a wager. I will never agree to that!” Xiao Xiyu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Her gaze was very firm.

She only liked Duke Han, and she would never change him in her entire life! She definitely wouldn't marry the Duke of Han!

Xiao Zhi's expression was very ugly because his inner thoughts had been exposed. However, he did not have the slightest intention of standing on his daughter's side and thought about it. He bluntly said, ”That's right, this old man has that intention.”

”This old man has made up his mind. The two of you have no choice!” ”The crown prince is someone who wants to become the emperor in the future. Sooner or later, you will be despised by others for entering the imperial family as a concubine, not to mention that you have no morals and talents. The battle for the harem is much more dangerous than you can imagine.”

”I made this arrangement for your own good. Although Zhao Jin only worshipped a third rank official, this is still a good thing for you. As long as you marry him, I can help you keep some things under control. After all, with your identity as a concubine, you will only be able to marry a concubine.”

”Oh, if that's the case, do I need to thank you?” Xiao Qing gave a cold laugh as a cold ray of light flashed across her eyes.

Luckily, this man really wasn't her father, otherwise …

”What, you agree?”

In Xiao Zhi's heart, Xiao Qingyi was very easy to deal with. This child, whom he had never cared about for long, was simply a harmless existence.

Now that Xiao Qing had said that, he had instinctively twisted her meaning.

Xiao Xi Yu lowered her eyes and did not say anything.

Although she didn't agree with Xiao Zhi's method, it seemed that this was the only solution.

No matter what, as long as he wanted to take over this matter, he could do so. When the time came, he would not need to fawn on the crown prince. Even if his father wanted to, he would not be able to do anything to him.

As for Xiao Qing Qing, heh, this woman should be his substitute.

Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows. There was not the slightest bit of anger on her face. Instead, she felt that it was extremely laughable. She raised her finger and said, ”It doesn't matter if I agree or not, as long as this person agrees.”

Xiao Zhi frowned, confused.

Before he could even ask, a clear and cold voice came from outside the door. ”Why is the General's Estate so lively today? What's the good news?” I just so happen to be joining in on the fun. ”

Xiao Qing smiled and turned her head.

The other two also looked towards the door at the same time.

Xiao Xiyu's heart first sank: Why would this man come?!

As Su Qianxing entered, Riko made a gesture to Xiao Qing Qing from behind the door.

Xiao Qingyi nodded her head, and the latter silently withdrew after receiving the order.
