I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 345 The snipe and the clam fight

Chang Yu and Mu Ling pouted. It seemed it was time for him to stop acting like a child.

Zhongli Yueluo was being carried by the Su brothers, and since there was no one else around, they didn't care.

"Sister, what did you and Chang Yu Muling do all day today?" Su Fengling squinted, her eyes slightly dangerous.

"Feng Ling, you're even jealous of little kids, you idiot."

"Hmph!" He turned his head away. "My brother and I are kids too. You should treat us equally."

Zhongli Yueluo laughed instead of getting angry: "I'm younger than you now, so you should be taking care of me, not acting like a spoiled child towards me."

Su Fengling frowned slightly and glanced at Su Fengjun: "Brother~ Look at sister, she doesn't even want to be perfunctory with us anymore."

"Hey, Su Fengling, don't try to sow discord."

She turned her head and said, "Feng Jun, I didn't." She gently squeezed Su Feng Jun's hand.

"Yueluo, I know you have your own reasons for doing things. My brother and I will always protect you."

She squinted at him and smiled. Su Fengling pulled her forward, saying, "You have to have dinner with my brother and me tonight."

"Isn't there a reply?"

He pulled her away quickly, and she let go of Su Fengjun's hand.

Su Fengjun followed behind the two, watching with some reluctance. He chased after them and grabbed Zhongli Yueluo.

"Nianhui hasn't returned today either, and I haven't seen Yuhuan either."

Hearing Su Fengjun say this, Zhongli Yueluo was not worried about the others.

Anyway, with Yin Yi following along, there's no way we'll get lost in Taiji City.

"Let them be. We need to get down to business. It's fine if they go out and have fun."

Su Fengling turned her head and pinched Zhongli Yueluo's cheek: "Sister, it's important, it's important! You can't sacrifice yourself..."

He didn't say the word "appearance" aloud, because he didn't really understand that, in terms of beauty, Zhongli Yueluo was inferior to many others.

Yet she always manages to inexplicably attract young men and women who flutter around her.

Or is it because of her peculiar blood? But they are still young, so it shouldn't be.

That could only mean they covet the abilities of the people around her.

"Alright, little brother, I know you're worried about me, but don't go too far when I don't ask you to help."

Her expression was quite serious, not like she was joking. Su Fengling was taken aback; he knew the gravity of some things.

He nodded, silently took her hand, but walked very quickly.

He didn't want to linger outside, nor did he want those strangers to see Zhongli Yueluo.

She broke free from his hand and took Su Fengjun's arm: "It will still be hard on you guys, keeping an eye on things from the shadows from time to time, since Yan Ruoyu doesn't completely trust us."

"elder sister."

"Yes, Yueluo, don't worry. Right now, the only thing we need to be wary of is Qianqiu Changhuan, who is targeting you."

"Feng Jun, do you mean there are still hidden places?"

He shook his head, saying it was still unclear.

"elder sister!"

Su Fengling noticed that the two of them were talking and ignoring her, and her little mouth pouted very high.

"Alright, alright, little brother, tell me what you want to eat tonight. We'll buy some things outside and bring them back."

Zhongli Yueluo deliberately left Su Fengling hanging, so that he would know his place.

"You only talk to your brother, not me."

She smiled gently and reached out her hand, which Su Fengling then placed in hers. The three of them looked incredibly warm and loving.

"Hmph, that's more like it. Sister, let's have the Drunken Crispy Goose. I've heard it's delicious."

The three of them bought some things and brought them back to the Yan residence, where they ate dinner early.

After they returned to their own courtyards, she still had to go and talk to Yan Ruoyu, at least to tell him what had happened that day.

But before she could even step out of the courtyard, she heard a knock at the door. She went over and opened it, and there stood Yan Ruoyu.

His expression remained indifferent, revealing no emotion. He gently clenched his sleeve, seemingly deep in thought.

Hearing the door open, he looked up at Zhongli Yueluo's lovely face.

"I was just thinking of going to find you, and then you came to find me. Is this what they call telepathy?"

"No, I knew you were coming to find me, so I came to find you."

Zhongli Yueluo covered her mouth and chuckled twice: "What tongue twister are you talking about?"

He then stepped aside and gestured for him to come into the courtyard to talk.

Seeing that someone seemed to be watching them from outside, he paused, walked into the courtyard, and closed the door behind him.

His voice was relatively flat: "You seemed to have a lot of fun with Changyu and Muling today?"

"That sounds sarcastic," Zhongli Yueluo blinked and nodded.

"However, that's not enough. It's so boring without anyone to argue with you. How can you stand out if you don't make a big scene?"

"He seems to like you quite a bit?" He just stood there, motionless.

Zhongli Yueluo found a stool and sat down: "I have a lot to say, why don't we sit down and talk?"

He nodded, looking at the same large tree in the yard with two ropes tied to it and a simple wooden board underneath.

No wonder she was looking at that tree and swing in his yard; they were really shabby.

His gaze fell on Zhongli Yueluo's face again. She looked indifferent and relaxed.

Aren't you afraid of getting yourself mired in a quagmire?

"Me? Would you let me get too deeply involved?" Zhongli Yueluo asked, resting her chin on her hand.

"Although Chang Yu Muling seems simple-minded, if you ignite his inner ambition, it might not end so easily."

"What we need is for the snipe and the clam to fight each other. Besides, if no one is fighting for it, your position as the young lord will not be convincing."

"Using you as bait, I..."

She giggled, walked to his side, and brought her face very close: "What's wrong? Is there some inexplicable reluctance in your heart?"

After she hit the nail on the head, he felt awkward and didn't reply.

"Alright, tomorrow you must invite the women from the various clans' collateral branches to the Yan Mansion in my name."

He looked up, somewhat puzzled. Zhongli Yueluo added, "Only collateral relatives are invited; the legitimate sons are not. Understand?"

“Okay, but if we invite them in your name, they might not come. It’s better to invite them in my name.”

She pressed his hand down: "No!"

In an instant, he realized that it was indeed inappropriate to use his own name, and that those above him would turn a blind eye to his secret formation of cliques.

However, if they were to openly form cliques, they would need a better cover, and Zhongli Yueluo was that perfect cover.

Before the moon had fully risen, the paranoid members of various clans all heard this story.

A young lady has arrived at the Yan residence, and she is quite remarkable. In just two days, she has won the favor of the young masters and ladies of several major clans.

The siblings of the Tongchang Yu clan were very close, and they also had a good relationship with the Yan brothers.

After hearing this rumor, they received an invitation from the girl in the rumor.

Going to the Yan Mansion was something many girls from other clans dreamed of.
