In the serene study, the two sat in silence, which felt like an eternity, before Prime Minister Xiao Yiran finally spoke, "Lord Luo, if you truly wish to marry Zhenzhen out of sincerity, then it's her good fortune. However, if your intention to marry her is to acquire intelligence from within Xueyan Country, then you are gravely mistaken. I will not act as your spy because of Zhenzhen."
Upon hearing this, Lou Qianyu let out a laugh and looked at his future father-in-law, Xiao Yiran, with amusement, "Father-in-law, you are thinking too much. I harbor no grand ambition to attack Xueyan Country, and besides, Emperor Jinghe is not a fool. What you have considered, he most likely knew long ago. I genuinely wish to marry Jiazhen, it has nothing to do with any benefits. Rest assured, old man, I won't let her down."
After listening to him, the knot in Xiao Yiran's heart finally seemed to unravel and now, looking at the man before him, he found him much more agreeable.
