Liu Zhaoran was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Liu Qianran nervously.

Could it be that the eldest brother wants to take this opportunity to express his feelings to Huanyan?

But now that Huanyan and His Highness the Crown Prince have such a good relationship, they will definitely not agree to this...

"Don't worry." Liu Qianran saw Liu Zhaoran's thoughts and smiled gently at her to comfort her.

He naturally knows what to say and what not to say. There are some things that there is really no need to say to cause trouble to others.

The smile of his eldest brother made Liu Zhaoran feel more at ease. Yes, his eldest brother was not that impulsive person.

But at the same time, Liu Zhaoran couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart because of this thought.

She pulled Pei Zhanqing's sleeve and motioned for him to go out with her. When the two of them left the room, Liu Zhaoran subconsciously wanted to close the door, but Liu Qianran stopped him and signaled that the door should be left open.

"Master Liu, do you want to talk to me about the third prince?" Chu Huanyan looked directly at Liu Qianran with a clear expression.

The latter chuckled lightly, leaned on the bed and lowered his eyes, "Why does Miss Liu feel so speculative?"

"After all, there seems to be no other topic between us." Chu Huanyan also smiled, looked around, and then walked to the table and sat down.

Since Liu Qianran has terminated the engagement, Zhaoran's matter can be considered temporarily resolved, and naturally there is nothing to talk about. Moreover, he had just mentioned the third prince, and Liu Qianran expressed that he wanted to talk to her alone if he had something to say, and most likely, this was what he wanted to talk about.

Liu Qianran still lowered his eyes slightly, his expression as usual, but there was a flash of self-mockery and loss in his hidden eyes.

Yes, in fact, there were no other topics between him and Chu Huanyan. But now, in Chu Huanyan's heart, they were afraid that they were even on opposite sides.

"Miss Chu, what is the most important thing to you?" Liu Qianran slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Huanyan and asked.

Chu Huanyan frowned and did not answer, but asked: "Why did Mr. Liu suddenly ask this?"

A smile appeared on Liu Qianran's lips, "In my opinion, the Liu family has always been the most important. The family's reputation, glory, and fundamental status are the things that I must always put first. Over the years, , and that’s what I’ve always done.”

Chu Huanyan did not speak, but continued to listen quietly.

Liu Qianran turned his head and looked at her, "When we first met at the flower viewing party, I thought that Miss Chu and I were the same kind of people. No matter what others said, you have been guarding the Ning'an Marquis Mansion."

"I did feel like this before. I felt that I had to guard the Marquis Mansion and take good care of my younger siblings, so that I could be worthy of my parents." Chu Huanyan said.

"What about now, has Miss Chu changed her mind?" Liu Qianran looked at the person in front of him intently.

Chu Huanyan raised her eyes to meet this gaze, "Isn't it clear enough? After all, my brother is now infamous and is still recovering from his injuries at home. And my sister was executed for killing, and she suffered the consequences. The reputation of the Ning'an Marquis Mansion has also been affected, and these Young Master Liu should see it clearly."

If we talk about the uninformed people, they may feel that they are helpless in all this. But she believed that Liu Qianran could see some clues.

"Then do you regret it?" Liu Qianran continued to ask.

"Why should we regret it?" Chu Huanyan chuckled, her eyes bright, "They did something wrong, and this is the retribution they deserve."

"But the reputation of the Hou Mansion..."

"In this world, there is always a give-and-take, it's hard to have both. Since I want to see them get the punishment they deserve, why bother using the so-called reputation to tie up and blame myself? What's more, they alone are not capable enough Destroyed the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion." Chu Huanyan said calmly, "Mr. Liu, since you have made your choice, it means that it is more important to you than others, so why should you complain and suffer."

Chu Huanyan didn't think it was suitable for her and Liu Qianran to sit down together and discuss this. She just thought that these words were because the other party felt regret for leaving the Liu family behind this time.

"Indeed, since you have made your choice, it means that you have already weighed the importance in your heart." Liu Qianran breathed a long sigh of relief, "Now, I want to talk to Miss Chu about the third prince."

Liu Qianran's voice was not loud and his speaking speed was slow.

"It's only recently that I've become more aware that the third prince's character contains more hostility than I initially expected. Perhaps it's because in the past, the third prince has mostly had smooth sailing, although he has never been able to sit on the throne of the prince. But he was highly praised by the courtiers. But in recent times, he has really not been able to get any benefits in the court, so..."

Liu Qianran's tone became more solemn, and his brows also furrowed.

"You want to remind me to avoid his sharp edges. Don't provoke the third prince?" Chu Huanyan took Liu Qianran's words.

Do you want to warn her for Zhaoran's sake?

"No." Liu Qianran shook his head, "I want to say that if Miss Chu is willing, she can marry His Highness the Crown Prince earlier. If the identity of the Crown Princess is present, the Third Prince will have to be more cautious if he takes action. "

Outside the room, Liu Zhaoran, who was standing in the corridor, was stunned when he heard the words coming from inside the room.

The eldest brother actually persuaded Huanyan to marry His Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible?

But if Huanyan really marries His Highness the Crown Prince, then the eldest brother won't even have the slightest chance.

Liu Zhaoran was in a complicated mood, frowning and staring at the door. However, the next moment, he felt his hand being held by a warm palm.

Pei Zhaoqing took her hand and led her farther away from the door of the room.

"What are you pulling me for?" Liu Zhaoran said in a muffled voice.

"I'm afraid that if you continue to stand there, you won't be able to help but rush into the room to help Brother Liu and Miss Chu."

"You also know that eldest brother likes Huanyan?" Liu Zhaoran said in surprise. Seeing Pei Zhaoqing nodding, he quickly asked, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Pei Zhaoqing sighed, "Brother Liu didn't admit it, so I can't talk nonsense. Besides, looking at Brother Liu, it's obvious that he doesn't intend to admit it."

But...it's fortunate that Brother Liu doesn't intend to fight for anything with the Crown Prince, otherwise it wouldn't be too difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

"But this is really unfair to eldest brother. How sad he must be." Liu Zhaoran said gloomily.

"If he is not sad, I'm afraid this legitimate fiancé will be sad alone." Xiao Jinzhi's voice came faintly from outside the door.

Liu Zhaoran was so frightened that his back went cold and he hurriedly saluted.

"Tai, Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. My eldest brother just simply had something to say to Huanyan. He absolutely did not, not..."

Looking at Liu Zhaoran who was stuttering nervously, Xiao Jinzhi kindly filled in the rest of the sentence for him, "You definitely didn't poach someone secretly, did you?"
