What Qiu Shuihan said, Ye Xunhuan had thought about too, but what he was afraid of was that woman really turning out to be Chu Ji's mother. If she was, then asking him to use Chu Ji's mother to deal with the King was something Ye Xunhuan truly couldn't do.
So Ye Xunhuan refused without the slightest hesitation.
Qiu Shuihan also knew this son‑in‑law's temperament; seeing him refuse, he didn't say anything more.
Because Qiu Ruoxi had come back, and Ye Xunhuan was briefly free of business, the Xiahou household became very lively, almost like they were celebrating the Spring Festival early.
However, Ye Xunhuan didn't seem in the mood to take part in this lively atmosphere at all; he simply walked out of the house very quietly and headed toward the courtyard.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan stepped out of the house, the Demon King followed him out.
"Marshal, you all right?" the Demon King asked Ye Xunhuan softly.
