During this time,
Ye Lingling always removed her veil when interacting with the other women.
Her eyes shone brightly.
She gently raised her hand, removing the veil,
and placed her hand in Ye Qiu's.
Divine power activated.
Space suddenly distorted, and the two disappeared from the courtyard.
Dugu Yan watched the two vanish,
somewhat worried.
Since bringing Ye Lingling here,
although her personality had become more cheerful, there had been no progress between her and Ye Qiu.
There were too many women here, and they all competed for food.
Ye Lingling really had no chance.
"What mischief are you up to now, you stinky woman? Hurry up and wash the vegetables!"
Ning Rongrong squatted under the eaves, urging the dumbfounded Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan glanced at her
, not caring about Ning Rongrong's address. After all, Ning Rongrong often called Ye Qiu "stinky thing
," and she and Ye Qiu were a couple, weren't they?
Just as she was about to step forward to help, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She couldn't do it alone, but she could get help from these sisters!
She immediately grabbed two small stools.
She sat on one and placed the other under Ning Rongrong's bottom.
Ning Rongrong sat on the stool and pouted, "What's the matter with this unexpected offer? Tell me quickly."
Dugu Yan smiled slightly.
"Actually, it's nothing much, I just want to help Lingling, but I don't know how."
Ning Rongrong teased, "You want to send Ye Lingling to Ye Qiu's bed?"
Jiangzhu's hand froze.
She felt extremely uncomfortable.
Was this something she should hear?
The women sitting around the table not far away also turned their gazes over.
They weren't surprised; they already knew Dugu Yan wanted to matchmake Ye Lingling and Ye Qiu.
Besides, they had spent so much time with Ye Lingling
and felt quite good about it .
Dugu Yan was speechless.
Having already experienced Ning Rongrong's fierceness, she nodded helplessly, "You could say that."
"That's easy, just drug her, right?"
Ning Rongrong raised her eyelids, her eyes filled with mockery.
Dugu Yan's lips twitched.
Bringing up such old, stale stuff now, what's the point?!
Not far away, Liu Erlong's face also flushed red. How did she suddenly get dragged into this? She quickly lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Dugu Yan took a deep breath and chuckled dryly.
"This method definitely won't work. Lingling will hate me to death!"
Seeing Dugu Yan's forced smile in front of her, Ning Rongrong felt a sense of satisfaction and didn't make things too difficult. She
curled her lip disdainfully.
"Hmph! So stupid. You stinky woman, why do you always have Ye Qiu take her? Next time, let her say it herself
." Hearing this,
Dugu Yan's clear green eyes widened. How could she not have thought of that?
But this was definitely far from enough.
Dugu Yan then asked, "Anything else?"
"Are you done yet? Ye Qiu isn't just mine, hmph! Ask Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, and the others!"
Ning Rongrong pouted, pointing at Liu Erlong and the others.
...
Ye Manor.
Ye Qiu, hand in hand with Ye Lingling, appeared directly at the main gate.
Having seen this scene many times before, the servants in the manor were no longer surprised.
"Lingling, when are you going back to the academy? Tell me first, and I'll come pick you up."
Ye Lingling pondered for a moment.

"Hmm, first thing tomorrow morning."
"Alright, see you tomorrow then."
Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, not lingering.
Ye Lingling watched the spot where Ye Qiu disappeared, her emotions indescribable.
She had a good impression of Ye Qiu.
That was undeniable.
But to call it liking or love seemed to fall short.
Her soft hand trembled, as if Ye Qiu's warmth still lingered on it.
She exhaled a fragrant breeze, gathering the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and quickly walked towards the mansion.
After walking a few steps, she was met by a beautiful woman.
She wore a pale yellow dress, her face without makeup was without a single wrinkle, and her features were somewhat similar to Ye Lingling's. Her wine-red hair was tied up, and she moved with light steps, very dignified.
Seeing her daughter's improved complexion, Ye Qinshui couldn't help but tease, "Lingling, was it your lover who brought you back again? Why didn't you invite him in for a meal?"
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I've said it so many times, we're not like that."
Ye Lingling's pretty face blushed beneath her veil.
"Pfft, haha, my darling daughter, if we're not like that, why would he be so good to you, picking you up and dropping you off every time?"
Ye Qinshui found it amusing.
Shyness and annoyance—these were expressions she would never have seen before.
It wasn't that she hadn't considered arranging a marriage for Ye Lingling, hoping it might change her lifeless demeanor.
But every time she brought it up in front of Ye Lingling, it strained their relationship and displeased her.
She rushed forward, taking Ye Lingling's arm in two, and said with a smile, "Girl, tell Mom all about him. Which family's talented young man is he? Let Mom meet him sometime. Or I can just come and propose."
Seeing Ye Qingshui getting more and more outrageous,
Ye Lingling quickly interrupted her, "Mom! Stop talking about him. Didn't you have something to tell me? What is it that you called me back in such a hurry?"
"Alright, since Lingling doesn't want to say, then forget it. But an ugly son-in-law has to meet his mother-in-law eventually. You have to keep this in mind."
"Mom! He's not ugly!"
Ye Lingling almost laughed in exasperation.
If Ye Qiu was ugly, then there would be no good-looking people in the world, and she wouldn't have helped him in the first place.
"Haha. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I understand."
It was rare for her usually taciturn daughter to talk so much with her, and Ye Qingshui enjoyed it.
She couldn't help but tease her.
"You! Mom, get to the point, or I'm going back to the academy right now."
Ye Lingling bit her lip.
She'd never noticed her mother's frivolous behavior before.
But at Blue Tyrant Academy, she'd seen and heard far more outrageous things, so it wasn't a big deal.
If she knew her old friend, Dean Liu, was Ye Qiu's woman, she'd see if she still wanted to push her out.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."
Ye Qinshui led Ye Lingling into the house, where a meal had been prepared.
After they sat down,
Ye Qinshui's face turned serious.
"Mom, what happened?"
Ye Lingling immediately tensed up; this was her only remaining family member.
"Lingling, someone from Prince Xue Beng's side came to our door, saying they could break the curse on our Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul."
Ye Qinshui grabbed her daughter's small hand.
Those people had been coming for several days, and she'd hesitated for a long time before deciding to tell Ye Lingling.
"Avalanche?!"
Upon hearing this,
Ye Lingling was stunned for a moment, her heart racing.
Yet, she wasn't overly excited.
It seemed she had lost much of her anticipation for this matter.
"Their condition is that we pledge our allegiance to him."
"Lingling, Mom wants to hear your opinion. After all, Mom is getting old, and you should be the one to make the decisions for this family from now on."
