Yuan Ye grew increasingly convinced that his own idea was correct; Xiao Li's suggestion was utterly foolish, actually teaching the master to ingratiate himself to a woman, and one whose status was different from the master's no less.
One didn't need to think too hard to know that Her Majesty would never allow such a woman to be a match for the master. Not to mention the master's noble status, but would any ordinary noble or official's family let a legitimate son marry a girl of unknown status, a bastard at that?
Xiao Li pursed his lips and said, "Yuan Ye, when was the last time the master was this close to a girl?"
Yuan Ye was taken aback.
"Since that time, how many women has the master had around him? Especially those serving him closely, which lady has the master allowed near him?" Xiao Li asked again.
Yuan Ye furrowed his brows, "What do you mean by that?"
