Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Making Zhao Xiyan willingly marry me!
After settling down in the carriage, Zhao Xiyan resumed his serious demeanor.
“Yueyue, you mustn’t casually reveal your Innate Divine Strength in the future, the fewer people know about it, the better.”
As he spoke, his handsome brows furrowed slightly.
“…I shouldn’t have indulged you before, letting you destroy that chest, in case Qin Zhongyu noticed something, it would ultimately be problematic.”
“Why?” Qi Yue thought for a moment before adding, “But surely many people know about this incident!”
“As long as you don’t use it, over time, no one will mention it. Innate Divine Strength is your advantage, and it can play a significant role at critical moments. Do you understand?”
Qi Yue knew Zhao Xiyan was still worried about the sudden appearance of the formidable Shen Gong.
That old man had vanished without a trace for several days now, and it was uncertain if he had discovered anything.
The longer he failed to show up, the more anxious it made one feel.
“My husband, don’t overthink it, even if we truly encounter Shen Gong, aren’t you still here?”
Zhao Xiyan pursed his lips and drew her into his arms.
“Do you know why I wanted to take you out? It’s because I was worried that you would get bored and leave on your own… Besides, there might be unexpected situations…”
Listening to Zhao Xiyan’s words filled with concern, Qi Yue deeply felt his anxiety.
She hadn’t anticipated that underneath Zhao Xiyan’s usually calm demeanor, he was actually constantly worried.
She couldn’t help but hug the man in return, softly reassuring, “Don’t worry, even if there are unexpected situations, I won’t be in trouble, I have my trump card.”
“Alright.”
The two agreed not to part from each other and to always stay together happily.
At that time, Qi Yue did not expect that soon after, due to heeding Zhao Xiyan’s advice, she would make a miraculous escape.
The East Main Street, not long after nightfall, remained bustling with activity.
This outing was specially organized by Zhao Xiyan, with Black Feather Guard providing protection all around, ensuring there would be no danger.
The couple enjoyed shopping on the street and later dined at the most famous night building, returning home in high spirits.
In contrast to the couple’s joy, some others were not faring as well.
Qin Lingwei, who had been knocked unconscious, was now slowly regaining consciousness. As soon as she opened her eyes to the familiar inn room, she burst into uncontrollable tears.
“I don’t want to be here, who allowed you to bring me back?”
Qin Zhongyu was also in a rage. When he heard her words, he felt like stomping his feet on the spot in anger.
He raised his arm fiercely, wanting to slap Qin Lingwei twice, but ultimately he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“What kind of pig’s brain do you have, how could you do such a thing? You’ve disgraced both the king and our father.”
Qin Lingwei sobbed uncontrollably.
“It’s all because you’re useless. It’s been so many days, and you said you would make Zhao Xiyan fall for me, but you can’t even get to see him!”
Qin Zhongyu’s face turned an ashen hue with anger.
He charged towards Qin Lingwei, raising his hand again, but ultimately, he used his finger to tap her head repeatedly instead.
“Zhao Xiyan is at the height of his power, it’s normal for him to refuse meetings, but he will ultimately agree to one. When that time comes, I will introduce you grandly, but you… Look at the mess you’ve made!”
Qin Lingwei’s head drooped even lower with each tap, her crying intensifying.
She grasped Qin Zhongyu’s hand firmly, pleading urgently, “Brother, then quickly send another invitation, let’s meet Zhao Xiyan tomorrow!”
“Shut your mouth!” Qin Zhongyu shook off her hand furiously, “There might have been a chance, but with the scene you caused today, do you think Zhao Xiyan will agree to see us again?”
Qin Lingwei was stunned into silence.
“Why not? Didn’t you say you would send Zhao Xiyan gifts? This is a perfect opportunity!”
Qin Zhongyu’s already darkened face was close to swelling up; if it weren’t for his years of restraint, he would really like to throw this pig-headed sister out!
“What opportunity? You’ve squandered all the opportunities. Do you think Zhao Xiyan is that foolish, that he needs those petty gifts?”
Qin Lingwei cried out “wa” and her tears immediately surged to twice their original volume.
“Brother, can’t you think of something? If I can’t marry Zhao Xiyan, I’d rather die!”
Qin Zhongyu was also troubled by his sister’s incessant nagging; he was completely out of ideas at this moment and rejected her coldly.
“Go ahead and die then. Didn’t you see everything from inside the box today? Zhao Xiyan didn’t even glance at you, so just give up on that idea! I’ll return once I have the information I need!”
With that, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
After crying for a while, Qin Lingwei suddenly had an idea and hastily called in the four guards to question them.
From them, she learned that she was carried out of the Qi Residence unconscious because of her own brother, and a hint of coy shyness quickly spread over Qin Lingwei’s lips.
She stopped crying immediately and summoned her maidservant to help her wash up and dress.
The maidservant didn’t dare ask what she was planning and obediently followed orders, well aware that the princess was not someone to provoke.
Quickly prepared, Qin Lingwei proudly approached Qin Zhongyu’s door.
“Brother, I have a great idea that will make Zhao Xiyan willingly marry me!”
At that moment, Qin Zhongyu was brooding alone in his room, deeply frustrated by the setbacks during his visit to Longnan County Government. As Qin Lingwei pushed the door open, he nearly choked on his own spit.
“Just shut up, will you? What good idea could you possibly have? It’s not another foolish plan to present yourself as a mysterious gift again, is it!”
He glared angrily at Qin Lingwei, waiting for her to say yes so he could slap her across the face.
By now, he had gained a clearer understanding of Zhao Xiyan’s capabilities.
In the hour since he’d returned, he hadn’t been idle, instead carefully reflecting on all the events that had transpired.
He always felt that Zhao Xiyan’s steadfast refusal to meet him, the lack of cooperation, seemed somehow related to that woman, Qi Yue.
Moreover, his permission to enter the Qi Residence today had been too sudden.
He made a point to question the guard who informed him of Qin Lingwei’s foolish act, only to discover that the information had come not from inside, but from an external source.
Strange, he thought. How could such a secret affair be leaked from the outside, and specifically brought to his attention?
Linking everything together, there was nothing he didn’t understand!
All of this had actually been under Zhao Xiyan’s control from the start, including the notification of this news to him, and his entry into the Qi Residence, which was meant to make him deal with the situation.
Zhao Xiyan didn’t fancy Qin Lingwei at all!
Previously, he and many others had thought that Zhao Xiyan’s sudden move to attack Donggao and conquer half of the territory was driven only by his ambition to become emperor, ostensibly using “rescuing Qi Yue” as a pretext.
But judging from the affectionate display between the two today, it was clear that Zhao Xiyan was deeply in love.
Therefore, using the tactic of offering a beauty wouldn’t work on Zhao Xiyan, at least not now!
“Brother, how could I be so foolish, I was rash today,” Qin Lingwei confidently stated, “but because of that, I now have a perfect excuse to catch Zhao Xiyan!”
“What excuse?” Qin Zhongyu frowned.
He certainly didn’t believe his sister could come up with any good idea!

Qin Lingwei lifted her proud princess head, giggled, and asked him a question.
“Brother, tell me, as things stand now, what is Zhao Xiyan still afraid of?”
Qin Zhongyu scoffed.
“Afraid of what? In my view, he fears nothing. With his current prestige, he has soldiers at his command, and with just one order, millions of displaced people would willingly become his cannon fodder. He doesn’t lack silver either; only now I realize that Rishengchang actually belongs to him! He even has Qi Yue, the Divine Doctor, in possession of the Qi family’s pharmaceutical business, with all the commoners desiring her medical treatment. What would such a man have to fear?”
Qin Lingwei, however, played with the handkerchief in her hand and shook her head repeatedly.
“These are all matters of power and money, but you’ve missed one thing, brother!”
“What’s that?”
“Reputation!” Qin Lingwei slowly articulated with a smile playing on her lips.
