Jiang Zhixia never expected that her mother would have such a big prejudice against Ning Yi.

Is it because they started out in the dark and dirty streets?

She couldn't help but start saying nice things about the little fox.

"Mother, Ning Yi is a very good person. He chased me from the capital planet to the front lines, bringing a large amount of supplies. As soon as he landed after returning, he began investigating the situation of females outside the empire, as well as the military robot project. He was very dedicated and spent 3 billion to secure the deal. He had no other motives!"

Jiang Lin shook her head, indicating to her daughter that there was no need to rush.

"Your mother knows all of this," she paused, "but Xiaxia deserves the reward the royal family has given him."

Jiang Zhixia was taken aback.

return?

This word made her vaguely understand her mother's intention.

"Xiaxia, with the help of the royal family, the Dark Street has now officially replaced the Ning family in controlling the East District. Once the female protection law is successfully reformed, the East District's economy will skyrocket. This benefit can only be obtained with the royal family's permission. Once the robot project is launched, he will also have a place in the military... But none of these should be used by him to exchange for the position of the principal wife."

"Think about it carefully. The supplies sent to the front lines are indeed expensive, but can the royal family afford them? The robot project is beneficial to the military, but if he hadn't preemptively secured the position of the mechanic in charge of the design, couldn't the royal family have completed it independently? As for investigating external females, the underworld's intelligence network is indeed more convenient than the royal family's, but is the royal family really incapable of doing it?"

Jiang Zhixia was speechless after being rebuked by her mother. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

That's true. No matter how wealthy Ning Yi is from running the dark alley, he's still under the watchful eye of the royal family. What he can do, the royal family can do too.

But she couldn't help feeling sorry for her little fox.

Ning Yi has done so much, yet his efforts have been rejected like this.

She knew better than anyone how much Ning Yi longed for the position of "official husband," and that a concubine... would make the little fox sad.

"But Mother, he did it all for me."

Jiang Lin couldn't help but sigh when she heard her daughter say that she was "love-obsessed" again.

She held her daughter's hand and asked.

"What if you weren't a princess?"

"I'm not saying he's after your status. I'm saying, if you weren't a royal princess and didn't have strong spiritual power, what would he do if he wanted to be your legal husband?"

Jiang Lin looked into her daughter's eyes and explained her concerns to her in detail: "Before he was confirmed as your beast husband, he used all sorts of benefits to forcibly tie himself to the legitimate husband in order to compete for this position. If you weren't a princess, he would have gone even further."

Jiang Zhixia fell completely silent.

She understood.

The mother meant that Ning Yi was using a transactional approach, disregarding her own wishes, to get what he wanted.

But she knew that Ning Yi wasn't like that.

The little fox was extremely wary from the very beginning and was unwilling to form a contract. It was only by using the term "dating" and promising him a way out that he gradually lowered his guard.

It's already quite an achievement for Ning Yi to take this step.

But my mother might not believe me if I said that.

So she simply said, "Mother, I believe Ning Yi; he's not that kind of person."

Jiang Lin looked at her daughter and smiled helplessly.

"You child, now that you've come to your senses, how come you have such a unique perspective on beastly husbands?"

After a moment of silence, she said softly, "If you like him and want to keep him, that's fine, but you have to wait until he realizes that you can't be bought with benefits. Then it's okay to give him the position of the legal husband."

Jiang Zhixia nodded.

The back garden was quiet. She chatted with her mother for a while, but she was worried that Ning Yi would get anxious if he couldn't wait for her, so she was absent-minded.

Seeing her daughter's restless state, Jiang Lin sighed and released her immediately.

Jiang Zhixia then said goodbye to her mother and hurried to the side gate.

Ning Yi was leaning against the wall, waiting for her.

In the night breeze, the beauty lowered his eyes, his long hair was blown slightly loose, and his noble attire further accentuated his dignified demeanor.

"Ning Yi! You've been waiting long, haven't you!"

Hearing footsteps, Ning Yi looked up at her, his expression unchanged as he smiled wryly.

"Princess, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for so long."

Jiang Zhixia quickly went over and naturally took his hand.

"My mother kept me chatting, which took a while. You sneaked into the palace through here, didn't you? Come on, let's go back to my room!"

She pulled him along, walking forward without looking back.

Ning Yi obediently let her pull him along, looking down at his intertwined hands, his nose stinging with tears.

The queen is right.

There is indeed a problem with my own character.

Jiang Zhixia said she believed him and that he wasn't that kind of person, but he asked himself honestly, what if Jiang Zhixia wasn't a princess?

Will he use every means to drive away all the males around her in order to possess her exclusively, disregarding her wishes and locking her firmly by his side?

He will.

Initially, he didn't want to enter into a contract because of the vast difference in their social status; Jiang Zhixia could easily abandon him.

If their positions were reversed, he would be the one most eager to use a contract to bind Jiang Zhixia to death.

I hadn't realized this before because of Jiang Zhixia's identity.

She was a royal princess, and he had neither the opportunity nor the ability to exercise that kind of obsessive possessiveness. Moreover, she had Jiang Ting, Lu Jue, and Su Chen by her side, none of whom he could easily push away.

However, the Queen easily saw through his recent actions.

Looking back, I realize I was too hasty.

If any other family dared to interfere in the military and political affairs of the royal family like this, and even use it to exchange for the position of the princess's husband, they would probably not see the sun rise tomorrow.

No wonder His Majesty agreed, but the official notification from the chief consort has been delayed...

Jiang Zhixia pulled Ning Yi all the way back to the dormitory. When she turned her head, she saw the beauty with her eyes downcast, looking rather uninterested.

She paused, tilting her head to look at him.

Ning Yi.

Ning Yi looked up. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Jiang Zhixia was silent for two seconds, then suddenly leaned in and stared at him intently, almost face to face.

A hint of panic flashed in Ning Yi's eyes. Worried that he hadn't hidden his emotions well, he quickly put on a charming smile.

"Princess, are you missing me? I've missed you so much these past few days..."

"Ning Yi, don't worry, I'll handle it. Leave everything to me, okay?"
