Chapter 245 Xiao Yechen’s Worry

The more Xiao Yechen thought about it, the more troubled he became. His heart in particular was aching.

In fact, even though Xiao Yechen had taken Xiao Jiuyuan’s warning to heart, he still entertained some ideas of his own concerning this matter. He thought that when Xiao Jiuyuan finally decided not to marry Feather, he would finally have a chance.

He knew he had a good relationship with Feather and if he wanted to marry her, she would surely be willing to.

However, now he noticed that Xiao Jiuyuan had become more caring toward Feather. ‘Would he let her go then? Would he let someone else marry Feather?’ It should be known that Xiao Jiuyuan was a very possessive person. He would never allow anyone else to come close to anything he liked.

Anyone that dared to make a move on the things he liked would only suffer greatly.

‘Would I go against Xiao Jiuyuan for her? Would I risk my entire family just to go against him? Most importantly, what would Feather think?’

With a troubled expression on his face, Xiao Yechen kept quiet and followed the crowd out of the courtyard.

Inside the Glory Crane hall, it was filled with a lively crowd. The empress dowager had brought two princesses out of the palace to celebrate Old Madam Chiang’s birthday. The empress dowager also brought the emperor’s gift, a two foot high jade Guanyin. Even though the jade Guanyin was nothing uncommon, it actually looked similar to the old madam.

Perhaps the jade Guanyin naturally looked like the old madam, or maybe the emperor had it specifically carved this way. However, one thing was for sure: the emperor held the Chiang family in high regard.

After greeting the empress dowager, the noblewomen there praised the jade statue.

There was a lot of excitement in the hall as the women chatted happily with each other. Just then a servant girl came in through the door and reported, “Old Madam, the eldest lady has brought all the young ladies here. In addition, His Highness the crown prince and His Highness Li Prince have also arrived.”

Instantly after hearing that, the women in the hall became quiet. Everyone instinctively looked toward the entrance eagerly.

Most of the people subconsciously ignored Li Prince. Although Li Prince had great power and a handsome face, everyone felt that he was cursed. After four fiancees dying in a row, who would want their daughter to marry this cursed man? Furthermore, the emperor had already appointed someone to marry Xiao Jiuyuan.

Many people there had thus focused their attention on the crown prince.

Since the crown prince had come, they figured the Huai Prince and Xuan Prince would be here too.

It was a well-known fact that the crown prince, Huai Prince, and Xuan Prince were still single.

Therefore, if their daughters impressed one of the princes, the princes might ultimately marry them.

Everyone present was thinking something along those lines.

Waving her hand, the empress dowager gestured to the servant girl, “Allow the crown prince, Li Prince, and the rest of the people to come in.”

Fortunately, the hall was big enough and it could hold a large crowd of people.

The servant girl quickly went out to invite the princes and the rest of the guests in.

This time, Xiao Jiuyuan did not force Yun Qianyu to go with him. Instead, he went along with the crown prince and led the crowd into the hall.

Lagging behind, Yun Qianyu finally felt a sense of relief.

To be honest, she really didn’t want to catch the attention of the empress dowager. Even though the capital seemed peaceful, Yun Qianyu knew that there were many undercurrents.

Of course, Yun Qianyu had no intention of getting into this mess.

While thinking about this, Yun Qianyu glanced at Hua Mei. Her face was pale and she seemed obviously scared. Seeing her like this, Yun Qianyu clenched her hands and cursed at Xiao Jiuyuan, ‘That damn bastard!’

‘I should have just kicked him out of the carriage and left him with the killers!’
