Chapter 429: Xiangyang Actually Liked Him

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At the corner of the street, Qin Xiaoyao instructed the coachman to drive the carriage to the army camp instead of returning to the Marquis’s residence. Princess Xiangyang did not get out of the carriage either. She tacitly agreed to follow her Master to the army camp.

Qin Xiaoyao only glanced at Princess Xiangyang and did not chase her off the carriage.

After a while, Princess Xiangyang couldn’t sit still anymore and spoke to Qin Xiaoyao again.

“Master, why don’t you help me take down Young Master Liu and I will help you resolve the matter of the Crown Prince? What do you think?”

She would put aside the matter of asking her Emperor father and Empress mother to bestow upon her the marriage between her and Young Master Liu for now.

Her Master was right. She had to figure out how Young Master Liu feel about her first.

It was best that Young Master Liu was interested in her. If he was not interested, she had to think of a way to make Young Master Liu fall in love with her.

Just like the way her Master took down her husband.

llehe! She had to admit that her Master was really amazing!

Qin Xiaoyao turned her head and glanced at Princess Xiangyang.

“I can take care of the matter of the Crown Prince myself,” she said.

As long as the Emperor and Empress Jia did not personally bestow the marriage, she did not believe that the Crown Prince would have the guts to covet her.

If he was really bold enough to get close to her, she could still easily frighten him away.

Princess Xiangyang put on a troubled expression at once.

“Master…”

“I’m your good disciple. Can’t you help me?” At this point, her little face had already displayed a pitiful look.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Princess Xiangyang again. “If I were to really help you, I might end up harming you instead.”

If her disciple was interested in someone else, perhaps she might really help her disciple. However, if it was Liu Ling, it was better to forget it.

Princess Xiangyang’s expression froze. Then, an anguished look flashed across her face.

“What if 1 say that I can give up the position of princess for Young Master Liu?” she said solemnly.

Qin Xiaoyao was shocked.

When she saw Princess Xiangyang’s solemn expression, a hint of worry flashed across her heart.

“Xiangyang…”

She had just called out when she was interrupted by Princess Xiangyang.

“Master, I’m begging you to help me.”

Qin Xiaoyao was silent.

After a long while, she finally sighed.

“I can help you ask Young Master Liu about his feelings. If he…”

Before she could finish, Princess Xiangyang interrupted her again.

“Thank you, Master!”

When she saw Qin Xiaoyao looking at her, Princess Xiangyang continued, “Let’s first confirm how Young Master Liu feels first!”

There were no ifs.

It was best if Young Master Liu liked her. If he didn’t like her, she would try her best to earn his liking.

She had already thought about this matter carefully. In this life, she only wanted to marry Young Master Liu. Other than him, she didn’t want anyone else.

Qin Xiaoyao frowned. In the end, she did not say anything else.

In the evening, Liu Ling had just returned to the Marquis’s residence when he was summoned to Qin Xiaoyao’s study by a servant.

Liu Ling thought that Qin Xiaoyao had something important to discuss with him, so he walked very quickly along the way.

Knock! Knock! Knock! After arriving at the place, he knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Qin Xiaoyao’s voice immediately rang out from inside.

Liu Ling smiled and pushed the door open.

“Cousin-in-law…” Upon seeing Qin Xiaoyao inside, he walked toward her.

When she saw Liu Ling, Qin Xiaoyao also smiled.

“Sit.” She looked at the chair not far away.

“Thank you, Cousin-in-law.” Liu Ling did not stand on ceremony and sat down on the chair.

Then, before Qin Xiaoyao could speak, Liu Ling updated her about the recent business progress and also some information that he had obtained.

After Qin Xiaoyao heard his report, she didn’t pay much attention to it. Instead, she looked like she had a lot on her mind.

“Cousin-in-law, what happened?” Liu Ling asked Qin Xiaoyao when he noticed her behavior.

“Nothing.” Qin Xiaoyao finally came back to her senses.

After sorting out her thoughts, she raised her head and looked at Liu Ling.

“I’ve been in the capital for so long, but I’ve never really cared about you and Yun Niang.

“The two of you have already reached the age where you should be engaged.

“I wonder if you and Yun Niang already have someone in your hearts?” Qin Xiaoyao asked.

Liu Ling’s expression froze instantly.

Then, he cupped his hands and bowed to Qin Xiaoyao.

“Cousin-in-law, don’t worry. Before the big matter is completed, my elder sister and 1 won’t have those thoughts,” he said.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned momentarily.

“Oh… That’s not what I meant.”

Liu Ling raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a puzzled expression. “I… Gosh! I just wanted to ask if you and Yun Niang already have someone in your hearts. If you have, as your cousin-in-law, I can help you two arrange it. “Revenge is a grave matter, but marriage is not a small matter either, right?” Qin Xiaoyao tried her best to smile.

Inwardly, Liu Ling felt this whole meeting was very odd.

Even so, Liu Ling still replied respectfully to Qin Xiaoyao, “Oh… 1 don’t fancy anyone right now. My elder sister probably… doesn’t fancy anyone either…” Qin Xiaoyao heaved a sigh of relief, but then she started to worry.

It was a good thing that Liu Ling didn’t fancy anyone in his heart. At least it proved that he didn’t have any feelings for that girl Xiangyang.

However, it was also a bad thing. After all, Xiangyang was a persistent girl.

As the saying goes, when a woman pursued a man, it was as “difficult” as tearing through thin gauze. Perhaps Liu Ling might end up being entangled with her.

“Really no one?” Qin Xiaoyao was a little unwilling to give up and pressed Liu Ling further.

Liu Ling was even more perplexed and replied again, “No… no one.”

When she saw this, Qin Xiaoyao sighed.

After hesitating for a moment, she told Liu Ling about Princess Xiangyang’s crush on him.

Liu Ling was very shocked.

At the same time, when he thought of Princess Xiangyang’s behavior, his heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

How could this be?

How could a high and mighty princess like a lowly person like him…

Even though he was shocked, Liu Ling remained calm on the surface. He didn’t want others to notice anything strange.

Qin Xiaoyao saw this and only thought that Liu Ling genuinely did not have any feelings for Princess Xiangyang.

“That girl Xiangyang is quite stubborn. It’s possible that…”

“She may pester you.” Qin Xiaoyao looked at Liu Ling worriedly.

When she saw that Liu Ling still did not have any reaction, Qin Xiaoyao sighed.

“Empress Jia and that girl are two totally different people. Although she is Empress Jia’s daughter, what happened back then had nothing to do with that girl-

“I hope that you can separate her from Empress Jia.”

Liu Ling cupped his hands at Qin Xiaoyao.

“I know,” he replied.

It went without saying that he treated Princess Xiangyang and Empress Jia as separate people.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be getting along so well with that girl during this period.

That girl was so open and candid, optimistic and hardworking. How could anyone bear to hold a grudge against her?

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Liu Ling.

“That girl will probably pester you after this.

“If you’re not interested in her…” Qin Xiaoyao paused, not knowing how to continue her sentence.

Liu Ling once again cupped his hands at Qin Xiaoyao.

“Cousin-in-law, don’t worry. I know what to do,” he said.

Princess Xiangyang was just an innocent person. He would not make use of her to take revenge on Empress Jia.

At the same time, the enemy Empress Jia was sandwiched between them. It was impossible for any relationship to take root.

Therefore, he would put an end to her fantasy.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded and finally stopped talking about Princess Xiangyang.

After asking Liu Ling about the tasks she had asked him to carry out, she allowed Liu Ling to leave.

Liu Ling excused himself from Qin Xiaoyao’s study.

On the way back, his heart was very tense.

He was unable to digest what Qin Xiaoyao had told him.

Xiangyang actually liked him…
