business, but in this era, the status of merchants is the lowest. Unless they are royal merchants, they will be looked down upon.Now, Master Jia feels he has made enough money. His son has also passed...Shour didn't speak, but obviously agreed with Kang'er's words.

Two people pinned Ning'er's arms, one on each side, their unkind eyes fixed on her face, as if waiting for her response.

Seeing that she was unable to deceive them tonight, Ning’er smiled helplessly and nodded, taking a submissive stance. “Elder sisters, I know I was wrong. If there is anything you need to clarify today, just ask Ning’er. Whatever I know, I will tell you everything.”

Ning'er was the youngest of the four.

Over the years, they have all wanted Ning'er to call them sisters.

Though Ning'er is young, she is the most composed of the four.

Things have always been done the best way.

Therefore, Ning'er had never called them sisters.

Right now, to make things easier on them, they're even using terms like "elder sister."

Shou'er and Kang'er both raised their eyebrows at each other, then said to Ning'er in unison, "Clever words and flattery, but tonight even if you want to call us elder sisters, it won't work."

"It's no use even calling me sister," Ning'er smirked, nodding resignedly. "Could the two sisters please let me go first Let's talk this through."

Shou'er and Kang'er looked at each other, but instead of letting her go, they pushed her to a nearby table and made her sit down.

The two men sat on either side of her, staring straight at her.

Shouer narrowed her eyes, "Tell me, when did you meet with Yunliu in secret"

"We are not operating in the shadows. My friend, Yunliu and I have no private dealings."

Shou'er and Kang'er looked at each other again, and both of them frowned.

Kangle snorted again, "Go on, keep going. Do you think we'll believe you"

"Everything I said is true, and I have absolutely nothing to do with Yunliu."

Having said that, when Ning'er saw the two people were about to refute her again, she immediately added, "That is... Yunliu did express his heart to me privately."

"Eh!" Both Shou'er and Kang'er exclaimed at the same time, their eyes taking on a meaningful depth.

"At that time, Shou'er also narrowed her eyes and said," Then you didn't make your feelings for him clear"

"Right now, I swear on heaven and earth, although I do have some feelings for Yunliu in my heart, before today, I never thought about having a future with him."

"So I have always kept him at arm's length. If I ever dared to be dishonest, then..."

Before Ning'er could finish her oath, Shou'er reached out and grabbed her hand, pressing it down. She gave Ning'er a disapproving look and said, "What are you doing with all this fuss Just tell us what you have to say. We're not here to actually interrogate you."

Kang'er also nodded, "That's right, that's right. We don't want you to swear an oath, but you really are heartless. We're your sisters after all, how can you keep secrets from us"

Whether it's Yunliu expressing his feelings to you, or you having feelings for Yunliu, why not tell us That way we can be prepared. Do you know how scared we were today!

Actually, living together in the palace and guarding it together, although Ning'er is indeed very good at hiding her emotions.

But Shou'er and Kang'er had grown up with her after all, understanding Ning'er's temperament better than most others.

Although Ning'er hadn't said it out loud, Shou'er and Kang'er weren't foolish either. The two of them could naturally sense that Ning'er felt something extraordinary for Yunliu.

They weren't unfamiliar with men, especially those they fought alongside. But when it came to the brothers from Xintang Valley, they truly treated them like older and younger brothers.

Never thought it would develop into a situation where we could be husband and wife.

Their relationship has always been harmonious and comfortable.

But Ning'er is different from Yunliu. When it comes to this issue of Yunliu, Ning'er has always been evasive.

Yunliu was very different from Ning'er in personality. The more Ning'er tried to avoid him, the more she wanted to push Yunliu away, but the hotter Yunliu became.

The more you push, the tighter he sticks.

The people in the palace aren't blind. Before their valley master woke up, they all saw the ambiguous feelings spreading between Ning'er and Yunliu.

It's true that the palace has been busy lately, so no one has had time to pay attention to the twists and turns between Yunliu and Ning'er.

While Shouer and Kang'er knew Ning'er's temperament, they were even more aware of the rules of Xumintang Valley.

So the two of them thought that Ning'er had already made things clear to Yunliu.

Yunliu and Ning'er should not have any entanglement between them.

Otherwise, if the guild leader finds out, the consequences will be severe.

But today's events were like a large stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing a violent splash that shocked everyone and frightened them as well.

If Shou'er and Kang'er had known about the complicated relationship between Yunliu and Ning'er long ago, they would not be so fearful and helpless today.

No one knew how terrified they were when their valley master took out that black bottle.

After all, they had seen with their own eyes what happened to those who took the Heart-Eating Pill - it was a truly gruesome end!

Whether it's Ninger or Yunliu, neither of them could stomach taking the Heart-Eating Pill.

After Kang'er finished speaking, Ning'er naturally knew why they were blocking her tonight.

She also knew that what she had done was not right, so she lowered her head very sheepishly. "This matter is indeed my fault for not considering it carefully. I acted too smartly and arrogantly, thinking I could explain things to Yunliu clearly and, relying on my own strength, draw a clear line with him. But I didn't expect... that the Valley Master would still find out."

Shou'er frowned at this, suddenly raising her hand to lightly pat Ning'er's back. "Alright, there's no need to say these things now. No matter what, the outcome is good. Thankfully, the Princess is here today, otherwise, any plea would be useless."

Kanger also nodded. "Yes, it's good that our Valley Master listens to the Princess very much. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. But we don't need to talk about these things now. No matter what happened before, the Valley Master finally agreed. This is great news."

"The Valley Master prevents us from seeking spouses for our brothers and sisters in the valley, not out of any malice, but because he fears we wouldn't be able to better protect the Princess and those she loves."

But we must always remember, our mission in life is to serve the Princess with all our might, whether we marry or not, and regardless of whether our brothers marry or not. We should always put the Princess and those she loves first. I think that marriage will have little effect on this.

"The Valley Master must have seen this as well, which is why he agreed so readily. Since he has agreed, we should look forward and not dwell on past matters."

"Right now, we need to consider Ning'er's wedding attire. According to the Duchess and with Yunliu's eagerness, this wedding feast will likely be held in a month."

"Ken'er, you still haven't figured out your wedding dress. We need to get started preparing as soon as possible. Don't worry, we'll definitely help you put on a beautiful wedding dress."ked at her skilled movements, watching bottle after bottle of medicine being made. He pursed his lips, "Woman, can you really cure the poison in my Fifth Uncle's body""Well, as long as your Fifth Uncl...
