When Li Yaoyao heard Xue Fanxin mention the marriage, she quickly began thinking of a way to reject it. Furthermore, she had to do it beautifully so that nobody would suspect anything.

“Cousin, I know my mistake. I won’t snatch Yi Tian from you anymore. I also won’t say anything bad about you in front of him anymore, and I won’t ever dream of marrying him again. So, I’m begging you. Don’t target me anymore, okay?

“I am only an orphan. My parents have already passed away. You’re the only family I have in this world. I only wish to lead a peaceful life in the Duke’s estate. I don’t dare to think too much about anything else. Cousin, I’ll give you whatever you want. I only hope that you won’t drive me out of the Duke’s estate.”

Clap, clap, clap… Xue Fanxin clapped a few times, and an unfathomable smile appeared on her face. He said leisurely, “Cousin, you said it really beautifully. I really admire you! To be able to practice acting to such a level, you must have put in a lot of effort in this aspect, right?

While Li Yaoyao was begging pitifully, Yi Tian’s heart ached all over. Seeing that Xue Fanxin was still making things difficult for her, he was enraged. No matter who Xue Fanxin had backing her, he still reprimanded her. “Xue Fanxin, don’t go overboard. Yaoyao is your elder cousin no matter what. How can you treat her like this? I don’t like you. I don’t want to marry you. If you have anything to say, just come at me. Don’t bully her.”

“Yi Tian, have you heard of this saying? Humans are invincible when they are shameless. Regardless of whether you understand what this means, I’ll leave you with these words. Also, I wish you good luck.” Xue Fanxin easily dealt with Yi Tian’s reprimand and had no intention of getting angry.

Xue Batian, on the other hand, felt indignant for Xue Fanxin and stood out for her. “Enough, you two! All of you are bullying my granddaughter! Do you think she’s easy to bully, or do you think I, Xue Batian, am easy to bully? Yi Tian, from today onwards, you don’t have to do anything in the Duke’s estate anymore. Find another place to stay.”

“Lord Duke, aren’t you afraid of disappointing your subordinates by being so indiscriminate and partial?” Yi Tian was not afraid of Xue Batian and started arguing with him. He was truly intent on protecting Li Yaoyao.

“If I, Xue Batian, can’t even protect my own granddaughter, what would I still be alive for?”

“Lord Duke, you’ll be harmed by this granddaughter sooner or later.”

“There’s no need for you to worry, Young Master Yi. From now on, you are no longer a part of the Duke’s estate. My temple is too small for you.”

“You…” Yi Tian could not win against Xue Batian. Furthermore, Xue Batian had saved his life, so he could not say too many ugly words to him.

Li Yaoyao was very happy to see Yi Tian arguing with Xue Batian because of her. At least she was not fighting alone.

She wanted to see if the Duke was really willing to chase away Yi Tian, his right-hand man.

Every time Li Yaoyao felt that the situation was in her favor, Xue Fanxin would add fuel to the fire and counterattack. “Grandpa, you don’t have to quarrel anymore. It’s useless even if you quarrel. Yi Tian, you can take Li Yaoyao and leave the Duke’s estate. From now on, you guys will have nothing to do with the Duke. As for Li Yaoyao pushing me down the cliff, I didn’t suffer much anyway, so I won’t dispute with you anymore.”

Not dispute… was that possible?

No way.

She just wanted to see if Li Yaoyao would really leave the Duke’s estate with Yi Tian.

“Are you serious? You’re not playing any tricks?” Yi Tian did not believe that Xue Fanxin would be so kind.

“I’m a silly and stupid girl. What tricks can I play with a smart person like you? Since you don’t believe me, then go pack your things and leave the Duke’s estate immediately.”

Xue Fanxin’s words made Yi Tian’s heart surge. He had already started to suspect Li Yaoyao, but he still chose to stand on her side.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

No matter what the truth was, he would protect Li Yaoyao.

“You two, get lost from here immediately. I don’t want to see you ever again,” Xue Batian also declared.

Li Yaoyao had initially wanted to struggle, but because of Xue Batian’s words, she knew that the outcome was set. She sat on the ground with a pale face, her heart filled with hatred.

She hated Xue Fanxin.

Xue Fanxin, just you wait.. Even if I have to leave Duke’s Estate, I won’t let you off.
