The moment Yu Xue saw Zhan Tianye, tears instantly welled up and streamed down her face.
As if greatly wronged, she stumbled forward to Zhan Tianye.
She knelt by his legs.
Remaining silent, her tears fell first. Her body trembled like a willow in the wind, her posture full of pitiful charm.
Seeing this, Qiu Lu frowned. Yu Xue didn't need to act so wronged, did she?
The young prince was only four years old.
Zhan Tianye's expression was blank.
He looked at Zhan Xiao Li, whose small face was filled with coldness and disdain.
"I don't like her," Zhan Xiao Li stated, wanting to say no more, only these four words.
He simply didn't like bad women!
Hearing Zhan Xiao Li openly declare he disliked her, Yu Xue's eyes turned redder.
"My Lord, I don't know why the young prince dislikes me. I... I must have done something wrong to make the young prince hate me so much," Yu Xue said with great self-reproach.
After speaking, she wiped away her tears.
No matter what, she had to marry Prince Ye.
Her brother had said that Prince Ye was a man worthy of entrusting her life to. Moreover, Prince Ye did not seem to be taking a principal consort, so if she married him, she would become the mistress of Prince Ye's mansion in the future!
And Prince Ye trusted her brother, valued him highly, so naturally, he would trust her too!
It was just that this strange child in front of him was too difficult to handle!
Zhan Xiao Li's expression grew colder.
He looked at Yu Xue coldly.
"I just hate you!" Zhan Xiao Li said coldly.
Despite his young age of only four, his words, though few, carried immense presence!
Being told he was hated to her face, Yu Xue's face turned pale again.
"Do you truly dislike her?" Zhan Tianye asked.
Zhan Xiao Li nodded.
Though he was angry with his father, he still needed to express his feelings.
More than being angry with his father, he was more afraid that his father would marry Yu Xue.
"Alright."
Zhan Tianye nodded, his ink-black eyes turning to Qiu Lu by his side. "Send her out of the mansion and back home."
"What?" Yu Xue froze.
After only a few words, she was being sent home?
"My Lord, has Yu Xue done something wrong?" Yu Xue asked in panic.
When she had come to Prince Ye's mansion from home, she had already boasted to her parents that she would definitely stay in Prince Ye's mansion.
"The young prince dislikes you, Yu Xue. Don't ask any more questions. I will escort you out of the mansion," Qiu Lu stepped forward and said to Yu Xue.
Knowing when to stop, he said nothing further.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xue's expression changed drastically.
Just because this strange child disliked her, she was to be driven away? Did Prince Ye not like her at all?
So many women wanted to marry into Prince Ye's mansion, why had Prince Ye specifically sent her to care for the young prince?
"My Lord? Do... do you not like Yu Xue?" Yu Xue knew that if she left this time, she might never have another chance to come to Prince Ye's mansion.
So, she summoned her courage and asked the question that was troubling her.
The next moment, she heard a clear, cold, and unfeeling voice in her ear?
"You're thinking too much."
Yu Xue suddenly sobered up.
It wasn't about liking her; it was solely because of the young prince!
If the young prince disliked her, then she had no reason to stay in Prince Ye's mansion!
Zhan Xiao Li showed no expression.
By the time Qiu Lu returned to Zhan Tianye's side after escorting Yu Xue away, Zhan Xiao Li had already gone back to his room for breakfast.
Zhan Tianye looked at the closed door of Zhan Xiao Li's room, a cold aura emanating from him.
"My Lord, there is a banquet at the palace the day after tomorrow. Will you attend?" Qiu Lu asked.
Zhan Tianye was about to say no, but then he thought of something. "Bring Zhan Xiao Li to the palace with you."
Once they were at the palace, they would encounter many women. Surely, there would be one that Zhan Xiao Li would like.
