The Marquis’s Darling: Matchmaking for Her Own Father Is Off-Limits

Everyone knows the decisive and immensely accomplished Marquis of Dingbei can help the ruler bring peace to the realm. The only person he cannot control is the darling daughter he treasures above all else.

In the main hall, the old madam wears a displeased expression.

“Your wife really has no idea how to run a household.”

Xie Yunluo immediately speaks up in protest.

“Grandmother, if you’re unhappy with Mother running the household, why not manage it yourself? As soon as Mother married into the family, she paid off your gambling debts. How are you planning to pay her back?”

The old madam snaps, “You insolent brat! Adults are talking. What makes you think a child can interrupt?”

Xie Linfeng looks at his righteous daughter, indulgence filling his eyes. With an exasperated smile, he says, “Grandmother, does being an elder mean you can bully the younger generation? If so, I’m an elder too!”

Xie Yunluo grins mischievously, then leaves the residence to cause trouble for her grandmother and father...

One day, her father makes her angry. Xie Yunluo lifts her chin and puts on a cool, distant air.

“Even if you bring out a gold bracelet to win me over, I might not forgive you.”

“So you want a gold bracelet to make it up to you...”

The chill around Xie Linfeng instantly melts away, replaced by tender affection. Smiling helplessly, he takes out a gold bracelet and places it in her hand.

Xie Yunluo clutches the bracelet with a look of disdain, then immediately sidles up to her mother and whispers encouragement.

“Mother, now that we have some capital, why don’t we just keep the child and get rid of the father?”

Xie Linfeng happens to hear her.

His face darkens at once, and the corners of his mouth twitch.

The marquis may be a master strategist in the outside world, but when faced with a daughter who argues and picks fights with him every day, all he can do is keep giving in and indulging her.

No matter how exasperated he gets, his affection for her never wavers, and he lets the little menace turn the marquis’s residence upside down every day.
