nt, he looked down at the wrist she had grabbed, lost in thought.Even through their clothes, he could feel the warmth of her hand, his heart... suddenly fluttered.But An Xuetang quickly let him go, an...As An Xue Tang said, the marriage certificate had already been registered at the yamen. Ye Er never intended to hide this from Xiao Qin.

So, after everything was done, it would be better for him to explain the truth to Xiaoqin himself rather than letting her hear about it from someone else.

After Xiao Qin had rested, Ye Er ordered someone to bring her food. He waited until she had finished her meal before having her brought over.

He couldn't quite guess what Xiaoqin would think, so he figured he'd wait until after she was done eating to explain things. That way, knowing certain things wouldn't affect her appetite.

Xiaoqin didn't know that Ye Er was still thinking so much about her. Before entering the courtyard, all she could think about was the scene of Ning'er changing Ye Er's medicine this morning.

After all, she had never treated anyone this way before and didn't know if she could do it well.

As soon as she entered, she saw Ye Er already sitting up in bed, her brow furrowed. "Master, why are you sitting up like this You heard what Ninger said today, didn't you For the next three days, it's best for your injury to stay lying down."

Ye Er smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, "It's nothing, this little injury is no big deal."

"That can't be taken lightly either."

Xiaocheng saw his indifferent attitude towards his own body and showed a disapproving expression. She didn't care how others would think, and walked straight to the bed, reaching out to help Ye Er lie down.

As she reached out, Ye Er suddenly acted, grabbing her wrist with one hand. His eyes, incredibly serious, stared into Xiao Qin's clear and slightly bewildered gaze.

Right now, they were very close. Xiao Qin could feel his breath on her.

I don't know how, but my heart suddenly felt chaotic. I couldn't even bear to look into his eyes.

"You... let go of me first."

Ye Er pursed her lips, glancing thoughtfully at the place where their hands had touched, before finally letting go of her.

After being released, Xiaoqin didn't even bother with what she had originally planned to do. She quickly stood up and took two steps back.

Her subconscious action made Ye Er's eyes darken.

But he didn't let such emotions affect him. He was now looking at the big beam beside him.

Daliang immediately nodded in understanding, then handed the marriage certificate with his official seal to Xiaochun, "My Lady, please take a look."

Xia Qin was taken aback, "What's this"

Because she didn't know what it was, she didn't pick it up right away. She just subconsciously glanced at Ye Er.

Ye Er gave a slight nod. "Lady, please take a look first."

Since Ye Er has already said so, Xiaoqin had no choice but to take it.

When she saw what it really was, she gasped in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief.

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't have imagined that this was actually the marriage certificate between her and Lord Ye. Moreover, it even had an official seal /

This means she and Master Ye...really became husband and wife

It is not that they are unmarried couples, but rather that they have become legally recognized spouses.

Realizing this, she was now just staring blankly and in shock at Ye Er's eyes. She truly didn't know how to react.

Ye Er also couldn't understand what she was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Ye Er spoke up, "I apologize. I acted without consulting the county princess on this matter. If the county princess is feeling angry or upset, please vent your anger, even if you want to hit me, go ahead. I will not resist."

Xiao Qin came to her senses and shook her head helplessly, "I... am just a little shocked. I don't blame you at all, and... what the elder did was for my own good."

She's not stupid; she could easily figure out why Ye Er did this.

I was just stunned, I was genuinely taken aback by this marriage certificate.

But she truly didn't feel any sadness, anger, or resentment in her heart.

not even a little bit wronged.

Now that she had come to her senses, she realized Ye Da Ren had done all this just to protect her. A warmth flooded her heart.

Where would they lay a hand on him.

Xiao Qin lowered her head and looked again at the marriage certificate in her hand, her mind going blank.

So today is the day she and Lord Ye are getting married

It came upon her suddenly, she always thought that when the day truly arrived that she was married to Lord Ye, she would probably be very uncomfortable.

After all, she married a man she didn't like.

Holding the marriage certificate in her hand, she surprisingly didn't feel any sadness, nor did she feel down.

On the contrary, there is a sense of finality.

She didn't know how she could have such feelings.

Daliang looked at the two of them, then gave Qingya, who was equally shocked beside him, a look.

Qing Ya came back to her senses, subtly retracting the emotions on her face, and followed Da Liang out of the room, giving the "newlyweds" a chance to chat privately.

And she also needed to go out and find an opportunity to ask about the situation. With Master Ye here, no matter how confused she was, she didn't dare to voice her questions directly.

She also couldn't believe it, their young mistress had just become 'Mrs. Ye'

From now on, should she be called "Miss" or "Mrs."

One question after another came to mind, now she needed to find someone to interrogate carefully.

......

After Daliang and Qingya left, only Ye Er and Xiaoqin were left in the house.

Ye Er saw that Xiao Qin's eyes were still fixed on the marriage certificate. He pursed his lips and broke the silence first, "Princess, rest assured, obtaining the marriage certificate is just a temporary measure. I will definitely go through all the three books and six rituals seriously, just..."

"Master Ye, there is no need for explanation. I understand."

Without needing Ye Er to explain, Xiao Qin spoke up to interrupt.

She truly understood why Lord Ye had processed this marriage document in advance. It was to give her a name, allowing her to live in the Ye Residence openly and legitimately.

This way, no one would say those nasty things about her.

And the more she explained, the more she recalled who was responsible for this situation today.

Although she had a family, her biological parents disregarded her reputation and insisted on her living in the Ye Residence.

In fact, she knew better than anyone else that if it weren't for her parents insisting she move in, Master Ye wouldn't have disregarded everyone's opinions and gone to the yamen to register their marriage without completing the three books and six rituals.

So, at the end of the day, it's all her and her family's fault for causing this mess.

Knowing full well it was her own fault, she couldn't possibly accept Mr. Ye's apology and explanation with peace of mind.

Ye Er tightened his hands, unable to tell what Xiao Qin was thinking. He really wanted to ask her how she felt.

That way, he wouldn't be able to ask.

Just as he was hesitating whether or not to say something more to Xiaoqin...for example... if she really didn't want to marry him, after she left the Anle Houfu and could be in charge of her own life, he could give her a divorce letter and set her free.

Though she hesitated, unable to voice her thoughts, Xiaoqin suddenly withdrew all her emotions. She folded the marriage certificate in her hand and placed it on his bedside table. "Perhaps it's best if we let the adults keep this for now."

Ye Er's pitch-black eyes looked at her thoughtfully, "You..."

"Well, since we're already in this kind of relationship, can I move in here now" narrowed her eyes, and spoke in a somewhat helpless tone, "Just say what you have to say. It's unsettling to hear only half of it.""I wouldn't tell him, because I know I could never wake up someone w...
