Chapter 24 . 3: I’m Her Fiance
“Oh . His name is Xuanyuan Mo, and he is my… . . ”
“I am her fiance . ”
[… . . ] Duanmu Xi’s face flushed a deep red . [What nonsense is this fella spouting! ?]
Seeing how embarrassed Duanmu Xi was looking, Xuanyuan Mo’s face then turned slightly red as well .
But he had not said anything wrong . Back when Duanmu Xi had accepted his wolf shaped jade pendant, she was already his fiancee .
“Oh?”
Huangfu Che’s eyes shone with a glint filled with mirth . He arched up an eyebrow and his face was mournful as he looked at Duanmu Xi .
“My Little Xi already has a fiance and how could this father of yours not even know a thing about it? Do you not want your father anymore after having a fiance? Your Imperial Father is feeling so sad!”
[… . . ] That one statement caused everyone to be stunned into a daze .
[Is this the very same His Majesty, the very same cold and murderous Phoenix Empress they had just seen moments ago?]
Xuanyuan Mo as equally stunned as he stared at Huangfu Che with a face red as beetroot, his brows knitted up tightly, highly perplexed .
[This man is actually Little Xi’s father, and he had been so discourteous just now . ]
Duanmu Xi was also staring at Huangfu Che in a daze, at a loss for words .
[So he was really her father . Then would the Vermillion Bird’s Lady Emperor look exactly like her mother as well? Had they also crossed over into this world or… . . ]

Vermillion Bird Kingdom, Duke Jing Manor .
“Lady Heir, you’re here . The Duke is waiting in the study . ”
Upon seeing Duanmu Qing, Duanmu Shuang’s personal aide Black Plum immediately greeted respectfully .
Duanmu Qing nodded and pushed the door to go in .
“Mother, you were looking for me?”
Duanmu Shuang’s eyes flashed as she looked at Duanmu Qing .
“Little Qing, you’re already seventeen this year right?”
Duanmu Qing was taken aback a moment before she replied respectfully . “Yes, Mother . Your child is already seventeen this year . ”

Duanmu Shuang then nodded .
“Seventeen . It’s time for you to have an official spouse . ”
[Official spouse?]
Duanmu Qing furrowed her brows . “Does Mother have anyone in mind?”
Duanmu Shuang’s lips curled up at the corners with a deep and meaningful smile .
“General Si’s only son, Si Yun Han . ”
[Him?] Duanmu Qing raised an eyebrow up in surprise .
[Isn’t he one of Duanmu Xi’s people?]

“What? You don’t like it?” Seeing no expression on Duanmu Qing’s face, Duanmu Shuang came to ask with her brows knitted up .
“Why would I?” Duanmu Qing’s eyes flashed with an evil glint .
[She would like anything that belongs to Duanmu Xi . ]
“Even if I don’t like him, I will marry him . ”
Duanmu Qing’s eyes darkened sinisterly . For military might, she would marry him .
Forming alliances through marriage among the imperial families had never been anything about love and feelings . Those concubines and men in waiting she had were all married to her for the purpose of benefits and interests .
Duanmu Shuang then patted Duanmu Qing on the shoulder in satisfaction .
Among so many daughters, she like Duanmu Qing the most . It was because she was smart enough and very decisive . The one thing that women must avoid the most was being emotional in their decisions and Duanmu Qing had done very well in this aspect .
