"Second Brother, you may not know this, but the prince of Qi is one of us," Li Qingluo said quietly.
Song Qingshu, standing in the distance, could not help but freeze. Could it be that she intends to reveal our relationship to her family? But her husband is Wang Ziteng's cousin. If she exposes our relationship and brings shame upon the Wang family, wouldn't that backfire?
"One of us?" Wang Ziteng was clearly rather confused as well.
Li Qingluo hesitated before explaining, "Yuyan and he are in love. They have long since pledged themselves to each other in secret."
"What!" Wang Ziteng was instantly shocked. Wang Yuyan was the legitimate daughter of the third branch, possessing beauty that put flowers to shame and the moon to hide, with a temperament that had always been gentle and graceful. After Shen Biqun's misfortune, the Wang family had even considered finding an opportunity to match her with the Crown Prince and make her the new Crown Princess. How could he not be shocked upon suddenly learning that she had already secretly pledged herself to another man?
Not to mention Wang Ziteng—Song Qingshu beside them was equally stunned. Since when had Wang Yuyan and I pledged ourselves to each other? Although Wang Yuyan is beautiful as a fairy, pure, gentle, cultured, sensible, and exceptionally learned... and we do have some friendship, and I do think highly of her, this is still a long way from pledging ourselves for life, isn't it?
Dongfang Muxue looked at him teasingly. "Do all beautiful girls in this world have that sort of relationship with you?"
Song Qingshu's old face reddened as he replied through voice transmission, "Don't talk nonsense. She is probably using this as an excuse to turn hostility into friendship between the two sides."
