He took a step back uncontrollably, barely standing still.

"...Indifference, I promise you, I will remain rational. Tell me, did Xi'er accept the imperial edict of marriage?"

Leng Manxiu was dumbfounded, and finally, he could only nod his head.

Others didn't understand Lu Yuanxi's reaction, but Leng Manxiu understood. Others didn't know why Lu Yuanxi reacted so violently, but Leng Manxiu knew.

Because for Lu Yuanxi, this life is not easy to come by. What he wants to do most is to protect his family and not to repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

Leng Manxiu kept looking at Lu Yuanxi, watching him guarding the Zhenbeihou Mansion, watching him protecting his father and sister, and also watching him...secretly protecting himself.

Leng Manxiu knew, he actually knew.

That's why he felt even more distressed when he saw Lu Yuanxi like this.

Lu Yuanxi grabbed the clothes in his hands and kept clenching his fists.

"Indifferent, Leng Shaohe is a hypocrite."

"Ah."

"Indifferent, Xi'er doesn't like him, actually Xi'er already has someone she likes."

"……Um."

"Leng Mo, if Xi'er marries Leng Shaohe, this life will be over."

"..."

Leng Manxiu silently looked at Lu Yuanxi who bowed his head and was silent in front of him. After a long while, he said, "Lu Bi, this is your sister's decision. What she does is not for you to blame yourself."

Lu Yuanxi sighed heavily.

"I know."

After a while, Lu Yuanxi let go of his hand.

Looking up at Leng Manxiu, she asked, "Where is Xi'er now?"

"Waiting for you in the imperial study."

Lu Yuanxi nodded and said, "Then let's go."

After three days, Lu Yuanxi walked out of the East Palace again, but now Lu Yuanxi was in a completely different state of mind.

He walked silently all the way to the imperial study room, and when he reached the door of the imperial study room, the guard went to report.

After a while, the guard came out and invited Lu Yuanxi and Leng Manxiu to enter the imperial study.

Lu Yuanxi had just walked in, and he hadn't seen the scene in the imperial study clearly, only felt a figure appearing in front of him quickly.

In the next moment, someone grabbed his arm.

"Brother, how are you? Are you injured?"

Lu Xier's eyes were full of worry.

The moment Lu Yuanxi lowered his head and met Lu Xier's eyes, he keenly noticed that something in Lu Xier's eyes had changed.

The aura in her eyes, those eyes that were always shining, disappeared.

And the light in the eyes also disappeared...

"Xi'er, why do you..."

"Brother, actually, Xi'er has something that I haven't told you. Ever since I saw His Highness at my brother's celebration banquet last time, Xi'er has been thinking about His Highness. Please Your Majesty bestow the marriage, Xi'er is also very happy in her heart."

As Lu Xi'er said, there was a bright smile on her face that was the same as usual, but the eyes that were narrowed because of the smile did not have the aura of the past.

"Brother, I made you worry, but Xi'er still decided to let His Highness become Xi'er's lifelong beloved. I also hope that my brother can bless Xi'er. After all, Xi'er likes her brother the most."

Seeing Lu Xi'er like this, Lu Yuanxi felt pain in his heart.

Lu Xier seemed to have grown up overnight, Qguan: ⑤49⑥1② She knew that she could no longer live under the protection of her father, brother and sister.

It was time for her to stand up and protect them.

"Xi'er..."

Lu Yuanxi looked at Lu Xi'er, who was clearly sad, but wanted to pretend to be strong, and felt distressed no matter how she looked at it.
