61 Rescuing the ice princess (1/2)

”Let me hear your plan.” Lately, Qing Bo was thinking about his sister a lot. She was twenty, most of the girls around her age already had one or two kids. He knew one day he must let go of his sister, but he was reluctant to.

Even if the whole prince mess was dealt with, he would still need to see his sister married off. Rather than having his sister go with an unfamiliar man, he would rather marry her off to this guy in front of him. At least he had a good family, a good position, and talent.

”...” Hu Ye knew he was the one who started it, but he didn't think that Qing Bo would easily agree to hear him out. He thought he would throw him out the window the moment he proposed.

Who doesn't know Qing Bo treasures his twin sister more than his life?

As soon as Hu Ye explained the plan to him, Qing Bo slammed the desk.

”Do you know what you are saying?” said Qing Bo. ”You think my father will agree to that? That hopeless man will definitely not let tools like us off!”

Hu Ye revealed a confident and cunning smile. ”True, that's why we won't be the one who entreat him.”

Somewhere in the left prime minister residence, the vicious mother-daughter pair's expressions were grave.

They heard the edict. Since Qing Peng was the Left Prime Minister, the highest ranked official, there a high change that the Emperor would marry their family's daughter to the prince. But, to think the one chosen was the first legitimate daughter.

”Why are they choosing her instead of me, Mother?”

”It must be because of their mother's family. Their grandfather from that side, who was the previous minister, is dead but The Second Brother of their mother who lives in another province is gaining power.”

”Does, does that mean…”

”No, don't worry, he is not powerful enough to make your father suffer.” Yet, she could not help but think. ”There is an influx of new servants from his province, does he have anything to do with it?”

”Ugh…” Qing Li knew the family from Qing Guang's mother's side ruled over the capital's society a very long time. But to think their power still existed even now...

”But, that means that father can still do something, right?”
