Along the way, the beautiful scenery of the courtyard greatly expanded Li Ningxuan's horizons. Li Ningxuan, who had never stepped out of the courtyard, naturally had not seen the structure of the Li Residence, but Li Ningxuan only sighed in her heart. She did not have too many expressions on her face, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it had nothing to do with her.

Along the way, they met Li Ningxuan's maidservants, but the servant did not seem to care about Li Ningxuan. After all, she was not a person that Master liked, and her life was not as good as a servant's.

In a short while, they arrived at Master Li's courtyard.

"Fourth Miss, you can't go in." Just as Li Ningxuan arrived at the entrance of Master Li's courtyard, she was stopped outside the door.

"Why can't I go in?" Li Ningxuan looked at the servant and said, it seemed that this servant was truly powerless, even a servant could bully her.

"The old master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

"Alright, I understand." Li Ningxuan didn't care. In any case, she had only come to the front yard to fight for some benefits, there was no need to fight with a servant.

After she finished speaking, Li Ningxuan took Zi Yi and walked to a corner. Li Ningxuan told Zi Yi to go back first, but Zi Yi didn't agree.

"Miss, how could I let you stay here by yourself? No way."

"Ziyi, just listen to me. I'm fine by myself, and you also know that my body is much better than before. It might be inconvenient for me to move around here."

Zi Yi thought about how the little miss had behaved in recent days and helplessly nodded her head. Maybe it was really her fault for causing trouble for the little miss.

After waiting for Zi Yi to agree with Li Ningxuan's request, Li Ningxuan secretly snuck into Master Li's courtyard. Master Li did not like it and would definitely not be able to get his summons, so he could only go inside the courtyard and inquire about the situation.

Zi Yi watched as Li Ningxuan left. Knowing the changes that had occurred in Li Ningxuan during this period of time, she didn't say anything and just let Li Ningxuan be careful while she returned to the Hibiscus Courtyard first, not causing any trouble for Li Ningxuan.

Just as Li Ningxuan reached the window, she heard someone talking inside and hurriedly held her breath.

"Father, your daughter likes the Third Marquis." Li Ningyu's voice suddenly rang out. Li Ningxuan curiously wondered, who is the Third Marquis?

He didn't even seem to know which of the princes he was engaged to.

Not long later, Master Li's voice rang out.

"Daughter, your sister was just about to marry the Fourth Marquis, so Daddy will do it for you." Master Li spoke sincerely and earnestly.

"I knew Daddy was the best."

"Of course, you are my daughter." Master Li looked at Li Ning Yu lovingly.

Li Ningxuan, who was listening outside the window, felt that the world was cold. They were clearly daughters, why was there such a large disparity between them? However, Li Ningxuan did not take it to heart.

"Father, what should we do about Fourth Sister's marriage?" Li Ningyu hadn't forgotten to cause trouble for Li Ningxuan.

Li Ningxuan, who had been eavesdropping outside the window, instantly rolled her eyes.

"She … Why do you care about her?" Master Li recalled that this unfilial daughter of his was just furious. Li Ningxuan, who was eavesdropping outside the window, didn't mind, since they didn't have any deep feelings for each other.

"She is my sister after all. Although she was born from a concubine, our Li family cannot treat her unfairly." Li Ning Yu said against her own heart.

"Let your mother decide." Master Li didn't think much of it as he spoke. Once Li Ning Yu received the answer she wanted, she didn't say anything more. However, her heart was already blooming with happiness.

After hearing her answer, Li Ningxuan no longer hid. Instead, she showed herself.

"Father, I haven't seen you in a few days. How are you?" With regards to Li Ningxuan's sudden appearance, Master Li was scared out of his wits, while Li Ningyu's beautiful face turned even more pale. She didn't know how Li Ningxuan had come out.

"You, you, you …" Master Li, you didn't say anything for a long time.

"Father, you don't need to say anything. I just want to tell you that no one is allowed to decide my marriage." Li Ningxuan unhurriedly revealed her reason for coming here.

Master Li's hand trembled as he pointed at Li Ningxuan. Li Ningyu gently supported Master Li, truly a father and daughter pair in deep love.

"You unfilial daughter." Master Li was just about to teach Li Ningxuan a lesson, but at this time a servant ran in, walked up to Master Li's ear and said a few words before leaving. Master Li left without stopping, not caring about Li Ningxuan anymore.

Seeing that Master Li had left, Li Ningyu used her gaze to tell Li Ningxuan that she had also left with her father. If Master Li hadn't told her that the Third Marquis had arrived, she wouldn't have let him off just like that.

There was no need to waste anymore time, it was such a waste of a beautiful set of clothes. Li Ningxuan looked at the clothes she was wearing and felt a bit of regret, after all, she rarely dressed herself, so she was the lazier one, there was nothing she could do about it.

"I don't know who the Third Marquis is, but he is here today." Master Li was surprised to see the Third Marquis who had suddenly come to visit. However, he still had to deal with him carefully. He was afraid that he would make a mistake, which would not make up for his loss.

"Fourth brother is going to marry Eldest Miss someday. As his brother, I'm here to take a look." Haoran sat on a stool, lifting a cup of tea and took a sip gracefully.

"Being able to tie the knot with the Fourth Prince is my daughter's fortune." The Third Marquis, whose name was War God, was someone that everyone was eager to curry favor with. Even as the Minister of Rites, he was no exception, not to mention that his daughter liked the Third Marquis. Although he was famous in the outside world, he was still a man.

"You're welcome." The Third Marquis calmly looked at Master Li, then looked at Li Ning Yu. He didn't say anything more as it was wrong for him to suddenly visit.

In Li Ningyu's eyes, this was the Third Marquis' favor, and her heart was so happy that it was about to blossom.

"Your Highness, why don't you stay and have a quick meal instead?" Master Li looked eagerly at the Third Marquis. This kind of dog-legged appearance was annoying when people saw it, and the Third Marquis was no exception.

"No need." The Third Marquis stood up and left as soon as he finished speaking, not giving Master Li the chance to ask him to stay.

Li Ningyu watched on from the side. As a lady of a noble family, she remembered the rules, and didn't let her take a step.

Seeing that the Third Marquis was about to leave, she had forgotten about her noble etiquette.

"Your Highness." Li Ning Yu shouted.

Third Marquis did not expect Li Ning Yu to call him at this time, but out of politeness he stopped.

"What is it?"

"I... "I …" Li Ningyu didn't say anything for a long time, and the Third Marquis just left. He wasn't someone who could be persuaded to stay.

After Third Marquis had left, Master Li began to talk about his daughter, Li Ning Yu.

"My daughter, this time you are too unreserved, how can you stop the prince with your words?" Master Li looked at his daughter and shook his head.

"Dad, didn't I say that I couldn't hold it in any longer? What's more, he's your son-in-law from now on." She looked at her father. In her heart, Master Li was omnipotent, and she did not know what Master Li could not do.

"Hey, you!" Master Li lightly tapped Li Ning Yu's head with his hand, his face full of affection.

"Father, I knew you were the best. Aren't you the one who dotes on me?"

"You, you're really getting less and less serious. Look at your elder sister, you're not learning from her either." Master Li looked dotingly at Li Ning Yu. Although he was talking about Li Ning Xue, he still rather liked this daughter of his. Who told Li Ning Xue not to get close to him?

"Daddy, you only know Big Sis. If you continue like this, I won't listen." Li Ning Yu pouted and acted like Master Li was acting like a spoiled child, but in a place Master Li couldn't see her, she completely changed her clothes and expression.

Li Ningyu thought in her heart, Li Ningxue, you're always fighting with me over this, you're not fit to be my big sister!

In her heart, Li Ningyu hated Li Ningxue even more, but her expression did not change at all. Master Li happily chatted with Li Ningyu, but he did not discover the matters in his beloved daughter's heart.
