Yu Yan and Ying Yue are both surprised when they hear this, Yu Yan stands up and walks toward the garden. Ying Yue on the other hand just has a sad smile on her face and does not dare to follow Yu Yan as she isn't ready to see the picture that Wannian just described.
In the Garden, both Lie Fan and Diao Chan are still strolling the garden talking happily not knowing that Wannian has reported them. Both of them don't expect that they have the same way outlook on life, while for Lie Fan this is nothing special as in his previous life this is normal but for Diao Chan this is such a special thing.
She doesn't expect Lie Fan who she thinks will have a machismo view but turns out he not only cares for Ying Yue like a jewel in his hand but also pampers her and lets her do anything she wants as long as it's not immoral and breaks the law.
Diao Chan yearns to be free, not to be controlled by her adoptive father. She never hated Wang Yun, she cared for her father and always listened to him being a filial daughter. However, year by year she was told to learn this and that to become the best noble lady in Luoyang.
She feels tired with this way of life, learning after learning. Embroidery, cooking, literature, singing, dancing, and many more like a puppet made by her father. Seeing and hearing how Lie Fan treated Ying Yue, she began to yearn for that treatment from Lie Fan also.
Diao Chan: "Brother Lie Fan, next time why don't we just take a stroll outside? I feel bad for my little sister Yue, doing this behind her back coveting her husband."
Lie Fan: " *ahem* The truth is Miss Diao Chan, I already told Yue'er about our arrangement."
Diao Chan: "What?! Why didn't you tell me, little sister must be feeling heartbroken right now! And what if after this we don't have feelings for each other and you only hurt your relationship with my little sister!"
Lie Fan: "I'm sorry for being late telling you this, I just don't want to hide this from her and when she knows from other people it will hurt her more and misunderstand our purpose for other things!"
Diao Chan who heard this feels that what Lie Fan said is not wrong, but she still feels guilty about Ying Yue. She held her first and softly hit Lie Fan, venting her dissatisfaction with Lie Fan's straightforward attitude.
Lie Fan who felt the soft fist hitting him in the chest, looked down on Diao Chan who putting her mouth in displeasure and felt for the first time that Diao Chan is very cute. His height is 178 Cm which is considered above the average height in ancient China and still can grow more, Diao Chan and Ying Yue have the same height about 155 Cm which makes them look petite in his eyes but very cute.
Lie Fana and Diao Chan's eyes meet, and for the first time both of them can see the small attraction in each other eyes. Both of them blushed at the same time and turned their head, not knowing that all of this was seen by Yu Yan and Wannian from afar.
Yu Yan who saw this could only sigh, she knew her son very well because that look was the same one she saw when Lie Fan was first attracted to Ying Yue. Wannian on the other hand doesn't understand the situation that happening before her eyes, she only hides behind her mother and follows suit with what her mother is doing.
Yu Yan: "Okay you little princess, what are you doing behind mother's back?"
Wannian: "To hide! So that Big Brother and beautiful sister don't see Wannian peeking at them like Mother!"
Yu Yan was stupefied and didn't know if she wanted to laugh or cry at her little spoiled princess, she flicked her forehead and took her hand, and began walking towards Lie Fan and Diao Chan.
Lie Fan and Diao Chan still feel a bit awkward but with a bit of a heartbeat, suddenly heard people walking towards them. When they turned their head they saw Yu Yan holding hands with Wannian who was being followed by snow from the back walking towards them.
Diao Chan who saw Yu Yan began to feel a cold sweat on her back, she didn't expect that she would meet Yu Yan in a situation like this. Lie Fan, on the other hand, can only give an awkward smile with eyes that plead to his mother to not say anything bad.
Yu Yan approaches both of them and stands in front of them, Looking towards both of them I silently then sigh.
Yu Yan: "Mother will not interfere in your life Fan'er it's your choice, but Mother only hopes that you can be more considerate toward both Yue'er and Lady Diao Chan's feelings."
After saying this, Yu Yan nodded her head and gave a smile to Diao Chan then held Wannian little hand turned back, and gave a space for Lie Fan and Diao Chan as she had never been there.
Lie Fan who listened to his Mother's words understood what she meant. She supports whatever Lie Fan doing, if he wants to have more wives she supports him. She only hopes that he be more attentive and considerate to the feelings of his wife-to-be and the future woman who will become his future wife.
Diao Chan also understood the underlying meaning of Yu Yan's words and felt warmth in her heart as Yu Yan obstructed them but told Lie Fan to care more for Ying Yue and her emotions, especially if there were more women in the future which she knew will happen as a man as perfect as Lie Fan is almost none in this era.
Even though she still feels that the feelings she has now are still amambigou, she hopes that this ambiguousness can be cleared sooner to not harm the emotions of many people.
Diao Chan: "Brother Lie Fan, can I meet my little sister Yue? I have something I want to talk to her about."
Lie Fan: "Yes you can but please understand if she doesn't want to meet or speak with you right now."
Diao Chan: "Of Course Brother Lie Fam, I can't imagine the emotions she is having right now and can only ask for forgiveness and discuss something."
Lie Fan brings Diao Chan to Ying Yue's room, when they approach the room Lie Fan feels nervous. What if Ying Yue doesn't want to see him and regrets the relationship between the two of them, he feels panicked for a bit and Diao Chan who was beside him can see the panic flashes across Lie Fan's face.
Diao Chan felt funny when she saw that, the imposing and easygoing Governor Lie is panicking right now because of his romantic life.
Arriving at Ying Yue's room, Diao Chan told Lie Fan to stay back and that she would enter alone. Lie Fan nods his head and sees Diao Chan knocking at the door asking Yikg Yue for permission to enter.
Ying Yu who was sitting silently was surprised to hear Diao Chan's voice and asked if she could enter her room, feeling a bit flustered she replied to Diao Chan that she allow her to enter the room.
Diao Chan opened the door and the first thing she saw was the flustered but calm face of Ying Yue, She entered the room and closed the door behind her then walked towards an empty seat near Ying Yue and sat down beside her.
Diao Chan: "Little Sister Yue..."
Ying Yue: "Sister Diao Chan, why do you suddenly come to my room? Aren't you spending time with Brother Lie Fan right now?"
Hearing a bit cold and alienated voice coming from Ying Yue, she gave a relieved sigh. At least there is still room to maneuver and repair the broken bridge between them.
Diao Chan: "I'm sorry little sister is won't mean to hurt you, but you already know about the ambiguous feelings I have for Brother Lie Fan since the day we met."
Ying Yue: "I know Sister Diao Chan, but it does mean I will welcome you with Jan open arms immediately I still need time to let it sink in and accept it."
Diao Chan: "I know that's why I came here to apologize and to talk about something with you relating to Brother Lie Fan."
Ying Yue: "I can't accept your apology for now but I understand, What does Sister Diao Chan want to talk about?"
Diao Chan takes a deep breath, trying to construct the words so they do not offend and hurt Ying Yue's feelings more. She wanted to help Ying Yue walk out from this deep gulf of heartbreak and teach her the outlook a wife of a noble will have.
Diao Chan: "If Brother Lie Fan and I agree to be with each other after finding the answer to our ambiguous feelings, the two of us will become sisters in the future and support each other Is that okay with you?"
Ying Yue: "Of Course, I feel happy that I can become a sister to Sister Diao Chan but not now, why does Sister Diao Chan bring this up?"
Diao Chan: "If we become sisters in the future, we will become the wife of one of the most influential and powerful men in the Empire. What if the same situation happens in the future, I can see that Brother Lie Fan listens to your opinion and is considerate of your feelings how about we work together to ensure that the woman is not a harmful person?"
Ying Yue: "Why do we have to do that? I'm sure that the woman that my Husband accepts is a virtuous and nice person, just like Sister Diao Chan that's why I can accept it even though it's a bit hurtful."
Diao Chan feels sad at the naive thinking that Ying Yue has because of what will happen if she is a bad woman and make her life turns to hell, also she feels a bit happy because this shows the pure kindness Ying Tue has which becomes one of the attractive points Ying Yue have.

Diao Chan feels sad at the naive thinking that Ying Yue has because of what will happen if she is a bad woman and make her life turns to hell, also she feels a bit happy because this shows the pure kindness Ying Tue has which becomes one of the attractive points Ying Yue have.
Diao Chan: "Of course, we can trust Brother Lie Fan's judgment, but what if Brother Lie Fan believes the lies some woman told? If Brother Lie Fan's backyard is full of fighting, wouldn't he be embarrassed pointed out by other people that he can't keep his own family in peace, then how he would lead his people."
Ying Yue: "Wh-what Sister Diao Chan said makes sense, but will Brother Lie Fan believe us?"
Diao Chan: "I don't know about me, but he will definitely listen to you Little Sister! Maybe he can sacrifice all the women he has in the future, not you. You're the apple of his eye you know, Sister is a bit jealous of the treatment you receive."
Ying Yue: "Sister!"
Ying Yue who heard that began to blush a bit embarrassed but her heart was full of sweetness, The concern that Diao Chan said for her maybe right now would not become an issue but in the future, it would be so she needed to help Lie Fan in coordinating the back yard.
She knows that she is too naive and her self-confidence is not that high, but she will learn in the future some necessary skills. Diao Chan also can help, she has been trained in many noble lady manners and intrigue which for Ying Yue the perfect candidate to replace her when she is not around.
Ying Yue: "Then I hope Sister Diao Chan can be with My Husband and help me learn how to do that."
Diao Chan: "Little Sister... Thank you for your sacrifice."
Ying Yue and Diao Chan both looked at each other with a warm smile, they knew that Ying Yue still felt pained with the revelation. However, Ying Yue also knew that it had happened so why didn't she close herself to Diao Chan to evaluate the new women that maybe will come in the future.
Both of them continue talking with each other, about how Diao Chan began to have the ambiguous feelings she has now for Lie Fan. How Ying Yue began to love Lie Fan and the start of their relationship. Women are truly fascinating, at first They are awkward and have a tendency to fight, but now suddenly they become best friends almost like a sister.
Lie Fan who was waiting outside, began to grow impatient as Diao Chan hadn't got out yet. For him, both of them are special, even though he doesn't know what kind of special Diao Chan is for him. At least if it's not love, he wanted to protect her from her original fate married to Lu Bu and being told as a vixen.
He walked back and forth until suddenly the door opened and Ying Yue with Diao Chan walked out hand in hand. Lie Fan seeing this was stunned, as he didn't expect that both of them would come out. Seeing how close they were now and Ying Yue smiling not like before, Lie Fan's heart began to calm down and happy seeing the smile Ying Yue had.
Lie Fan: "Umm Wife! Miss Diao Chan! This is...?"
Ying Yue: "Husband, why you you still call Sister Diao Chan miss? She called you brother, of course, you have to call her sister!"
Lie Fan: "W-well T-that okay! I listened to my wife! Wife & Sister Diao Chan what are you both talking about inside?"
Diao Chan: "You can't know for now, at least when we managed to resolve the ambiguous feeling between us, Right little sister?"
Ying Yue nodded her head in support of Lie Fan, seeing this happening he could only smile and shake his head. It's not that he can't force them if he forces them they will say it but he doesn't want to destroy the delicate relationship that managed to be restored.
Ying Yue and Diao Chan both give Lie Fan a smile that radiates innocence but he knows that the two of them are planning something for sure. Ying Yue and Diao Chan say goodbye to Lie Fan and both walk together leaving Lie Fan Standing there.
Lie Fan can only sigh, it's his fault that he pampers Ying Yue now she is like this he can't bear to hurt her more. He can only watch Ying Yue and Diao Chan walking together hand in hand toward the garden. Lie Fan claps his hand and suddenly 2 oriole members come out wearing maid clothes.
He ordered them to keep an eye on Ying Yue and Diao Chan, protect them both and if anything happened he would execute them. Both oriole members receive the orders in a cold sweat and follow Ying Yue and Diao Chan.
Lie Fan then decided to go towards the southern courtyard where he designated a room as the meeting room for his think tank, he knew that at this time his three think tanks were putting together new plans to begin their fight against both He Jin and Zhang Rang.
Arriving at the meeting room, he heard the voices of Jia Xu, Sun Qian, and Xun You discussing together. He entered the room and saw three of them talking with city maps of Luoyang, putting together 3 different colors of many circle pieces on the map.
Lie Fan: "Three Masters are working very hard, Don't forget to take a rest and fill your stomach. I don't care if we lose but losing even one of you can be disastrous."
Sun Qian: "My Lord is here, thank you for Your care, My Lord. Don't worry even if I and Brother Xun are a workaholic, Master Jia Xu will always remind us to eat in his own ways of course!"
Jia Xu: "Little Sun you can't speak ill of me, Thank you for your care, My Lord. Don't worry about me here these two will be safe. Why don't Master Xun You explain what we are doing here?"
Xun You who heard this turned his head and nodded in gratitude to Jia Xu, he is a newcomer and needs some merits. He knew Lie Fan trusted him highly so he wanted to give that trust back by donating his talent more.
Xun You: "It's like this My Lord, as you can see on the map. I alongside Master Jia Xu and Brother Sun have assembled a map that shows the balance of power held by our faction and the others."
Xun You explain with his hand pointing towards each side, what surprised him and the others was the position controlled by each faction is amazing. Lie Fan leading Baohuzhe controlled both civil officials and military officials who lived in the southern part of Luoyang and even nearing the center where the palace was.
He Jin controlled the Western side where the old noble clan's residences were located, Noble families like the Yuan and Cao with their connections alone supported many members of the He Jin Faction. Zhang Rang on the other hand controlled the East side, he and the 9 attendant built their mansion there, and the officials that they either promoted or bribed put their residences there.
This baffled everyone as this coincidence was too big, but this also helped them know from where they would begin ensuring the peace in Luoyang acting as peacekeepers until Emperor Ling died.
Xun You: "Our first plan is to bring together the Merchant, Landlord, and Big Farmer Clans. We will ensure their support to receive logistical supplies to ensure the engine of our Faction keeps running. This also closes the potential for them to join other Faction."
Lie Fan: "That's good I agree, also Please help me ensure that Sima Clan Head Sima Fang Prefect Luoyang joins our side as they were still reluctant before."
Jia Xu: "Yes My lord, me and Little Sun will handle Sima Fang. I was acquainted with Sima Fang, his first son Sima Lang is a talented youth, and having them join under My Lord can help you greatly."
Lie Fan was pleased by Jia Xu's initiative, he knew that Jia Xu could read his kind and that he wanted to have Sima Clan join under him, not his Faction. However he makes a small mistake, what he is interested in is not Sima Lang but his brother Sima Yi. Sima Yi is still young and if he can put him under his thumb ensure his loyalty to him and not let him marry Zhang Chunhua then there will be no Jin Dynasty in the future.
Lie Fan: "That's great Master Jia Xu, with Sima Fang supporting us Luoyang will be like our playground as he is the Prefect. This is a top priority so please do it as soon as possible."
Jia Xu + Sun Qian: "Yes My Lord!"
Lie Fan: "Master Xun You, please continue your explanation."
Xun You: "Yes My Lord, After ensuring logistic support we will begin to gather the people of Luoyang's support by giving them food and clothes. This will raise your reputation even further and reduce the suspicion the Emperor has on My Lord as you're not fighting for power with the other factions."
Lie Fan actually can see through this plan, he likes this plan because the Emperor will like him more and the people will support him. What the others don't know right now is that the common people are very important, yes the nobles are the backbone of the Empire but the common people are the engines that help the backbone.
Xun You: "Next with the support of the people, we will begin balancing the Imperial Court condition. Both He Jin and Zhang Rang will find trouble with us and fight with each other, we will suppress them to an extent that when Emperor Ling dies they will explode and full-scale war will break out between them while we have long gone falling back to Xiapi but using the Oriole fanning the flame from afar."
