“You are still young. In the future, you will regret your choice today.”
Ah Wu’s words directly shattered the layers of armor that Yu Yan had armed around his heart, causing his rationality to collapse.
However, after years in the deep palace, Yu Yan was accustomed to sisters turning against each other and brothers fighting each other. He knew that family love was the most solid and yet the most fragile thing.
He didn’t dare to bet on how disgusted Ah Wu would look at him and how decisively she would leave him if she regretted it in the future.
He couldn’t bear it.
“Then, Brother, please don’t make me regret it, okay?”
Ah Wu knew that she would never regret it, but the person in front of her might not believe it.
“I miss home and want to go home with my Brother.”
Under the night sky, Ah Wu’s eyes were particularly deep, as if reflecting a starry sky, and Yu Yan was drowned in her eyes.
Go home…
This tempting word made Yu Yan completely lose his fighting power.

“My dear Little Seventh, don’t think too much. Your father will handle the things outside. You are not a bad star. You are your father and mother’s lucky star.”
The rumors outside obviously hit Mrs. Fan and Ling Yaodong even harder. After finding their daughter, they always wanted to compensate for the child, but now it was this poor little daughter who was the most burdened by the family.
At least, that was what Ling Yaodong and Mrs. Fan thought.
Now the rumors outside have improved with the intervention of the Marquis of Changping Mansion and other forces, but the previous rumors still affected Ling Wu’s reputation.
In addition, Yan Zhongying deliberately targeted her.
As the companion of the Third Princess and the drafted girl of this year, Ah Wu, who was supposed to stay in the palace and move directly to the Chuxiu Courtyard after other drafted girls entered the palace, was sent back to the Marquis of Changping Mansion in a sedan chair.
This seemed to represent the attitude of the royal family, causing the rumors that had originally been somewhat settled to become rampant again.
Although the rumors this time were more about the incompatibility between Ling Wu and several princes, which cleared the air that there was no problem with Ling Wu’s own birth date and time, but how could any good family be willing to marry a woman who was incompatible with the royal family?
It seemed that Ah Wu would have to spend her whole life alone.
These days, Mrs. Fan’s hair almost turned white with worry.
She even thought about arranging a marriage for her daughter far away. But the truth would come out sooner or later. Her daughter’s husband’s family would hear the rumors, and by then, they would be far away, and her daughter would have nowhere to turn to if she was wronged.
Seeing Mrs. Fan, who had aged several years in an instant, Ah Wu felt guilty. Among all the things she had done, the one she felt the most sorry for seemed to be her parents.
If she were honest, her parents had been good to her over the years. It was just because she had found a way to enter the palace to be the Third Princess’s companion, the mother and daughter and the father and daughter did not spend much time together, so they could not really become familiar with each other emotionally.
Besides, any feelings have a first-come first-serve order. Most of Ah Wu’s thoughts were on her brother, so correspondingly, she had less feelings for her parents.
But even if she felt guilty, now was not the right time to tell the truth.
“Mom, it’s okay. I didn’t want to get married anyway. Being a married woman is not as comfortable as being a young lady. Besides, although I have been a rich lady for several years, my essence is still the free and unrestrained little village girl living in Xiaoxi Village.”
Ah Wu hugged Mrs. Fan’s arm and said coquettishly, “Could it be that my parents won’t support me?”
She rarely showed such an intimate gesture, which made Mrs. Fan forget her grief and feel a little flattered.
“How could Mother dislike you? If you don’t get married, your parents will raise you for your whole life. If your future sister-in-law can’t tolerate you, Mother will kick your brother out.”
Ling Zihuai gave up writing and joined the army. He was still training at the border. Therefore, although he was already over the age of adulthood, he had not yet married.
However, Mrs. Fan had already selected a wife of equal status for her son and was waiting for Ling Zihuai to return to the capital to get married.
Ah Wu’s statement made Mrs. Fan feel even more distressed for her.
The so-called unwillingness to get married, after filtering it through Mrs. Fan’s mind, turned into her daughter being sensible. She deliberately forced herself to smile in order not to make her worry.
