Chapter 322
Cheng Yuyan was taken aback, before "I" finished speaking, Yan Shi asked loudly, "What are you hiding from me?"

Not only Ye Zhaoyan, but also Cheng Yuyan felt very strange about her aggressive look.

In the past, although Yan Shi was a bit harsh, he was always warm-hearted.When she thought that Yan Shi worked so hard for her, although she felt uncomfortable occasionally, she knew how to be considerate.

Ye Zhaoyan was slightly taken aback: "Ma'am, Yuyan couldn't bear to refuse Mrs. Chen, so she wanted to give a small gift and do her best."

Yan's face softened a little, "Miss Ye has a heart." She waved to Cheng Yuyan: "Yuyan, come to me and tell auntie, what do you really think?"

Cheng Yuyan walked a few steps forward before softly saying, "I'm going to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Auntie." There was a trace of anxiety on her face, and for some reason, she became more and more suspicious that her aunt seemed to be particularly resistant to this matter.

Yan Shi frowned and said, "Don't blame your aunt for being unreasonable. Your parents are all working outside, and you are the only daughter left in the house, so you should be more careful. If something goes wrong, how can I be sorry for your parents?" ?”

Cheng Yuyan pondered for a moment, and then said softly after a long while: "I will talk to my parents. Auntie, I promise I will return safely."

Yan's heart was secretly shocked, and he still showed an angry expression on his face, with a reprimanded tone: "Nonsense! Do you know how many people will pay attention to this matter, or if it is spread out, what will happen to your future marriage?" ? Now you are discussing marriage, and soon you will not belong to the family in name, how can you run to the man's house by yourself? How do you want me and your father to explain?!"

Cheng Yuyan was taken aback by her words, and the strange feeling that had arisen was overwhelmed by the grievance: "I"

She also had plans to be invited to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion before, but under Yan's persuasion, she dismissed the idea, and she had never seen her aunt so angry, why did she get so angry this time?

"It was my idea." Ye Zhaoyan got up slightly, and stood in front of Cheng Yuyan, but with a playful smile on his face, which made the angry Yan Shi have nowhere to explode.

Cheng Yuyan tugged at Ye Zhaoyan's sleeve.

Looking at the interaction between the two, Yan Shi knew it well, but pretended to be surprised and put on a straight face: "You girl, didn't you just decide not to go two days ago? Why did you think of it again? Could it be that you listened to others' instigation? "

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ye Zhaoyan's calm face, and he couldn't help feeling anxious, but he continued to put on a majestic look on his face.

"Yuyan is sorry, but I couldn't bear to see her in a dilemma, so I had the audacity to tell Madam." Ye Zhaoyan replied frankly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Cheng Yuyan was stunned, never expecting that Ye Zhaoyan could stand up to save her at such a time.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan being so frank, Yan Shi was a little annoyed, but in front of Cheng Yuyan, she couldn't get angry, so she had to be patient and said: "Miss Ye's actions are making people laugh at us for getting married? Besides, this matter Guan Chengjia's face"

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Cheng Yuyan tugged at Ye Zhaoyan's sleeve, and immediately smoothed things over and said, "Going to the Chen family is my own idea, Auntie, please don't get me wrong. In fact, Zhaoyan is not an outsider, she."

"Don't talk too much." Yan interrupted her impatiently.

Ye Zhaoyan hurriedly cupped his hands and made a big gift, "Madam's concerns are reasonable, if Madam doesn't mind, I will go to the Zhennan Palace as a guest in the name of the Ye family, and I will bring Yuyan along with me, let her stay for a while and finish delivering the gift."

Yan Shi was taken aback.

Although General Ye has already gone to the south, Ye Zhaoyan's mother has a high status among the nobles, so it is very convenient to post in the name of Ye Fugui.

This daughter of the Ye family actually did this to let Cheng Yuyan see the Chen family?
What is the reason for this?
Her tone was a bit cool: "You are really kind-hearted, but I have to say the ugly things first, Yuyan can't meet with outsiders."

Ye Zhaoyan earnestly promised, "Madam, don't worry, if something happens, I will do my best to protect Yuyan and not let anyone bully her."

Seeing this situation, Yan Shi didn't know what to do, her face turned blue, and said reluctantly: "No matter what, this matter must be approved by the Duke."

Cheng Yuyan couldn't help being a little embarrassed when she heard the words.

When Ye Zhaoyan heard this, she already understood Yan Shi's plan. It seemed that even if she told Cheng Guogong, she would find a way to influence her brother's mind.

That being the case, it's better to retreat, anyway, she didn't intend to force Cheng Yuyan to come to the door anyway.

Thinking of this, she said to Yan Shi Fushen: "Since Madam said so, I will leave it to Madam to decide. However, Yuyan has stayed in the mansion for a long time, and in a few days I want to take her to the Ye family's schoolyard to ride horses and relax. Ma'am, please don't refuse."

Her eyes were sincere and tough, and her tone was determined.

Yan squeezed out a stiff smile: "However, learning to ride a horse is a good thing. I am too happy. Miss Ye is so talented, why not take this opportunity to let Yu Yan learn riding and archery. As for the two of you visiting the town together Regarding the matter of the Nanwang Mansion, I will send someone to find the Duke later."

Ye Zhaoyan smiled and nodded: "Thank you Ma'am, then I will take my leave first."

Cheng Yuyan felt a sense of loss, but Ye Zhaoyan took her hand and turned to leave.

When the two walked away, Yan couldn't hold back anymore, and said coldly: "What a shameless thing!"

Cheng Yuyan let out a long sigh of relief after walking out of the yard, "Zhaoyan, my aunt is not like today..."

"Perhaps it's because she's in a bad mood, and it's because I came here by accident." Ye Zhaoyan knew it well.

"Don't say that." Cheng Yuyan still had some shame on her face, "But why did you take me to the Chen family just now?"

Ye Zhaoyan took her arm and walked forward: "Yuyan, we have similar temperaments, and we have never cared about anything. Can you trust me?"

"There is no need to talk between you and me."

"Recently, the Ye family has experienced a sudden change. The neighbors should have avoided it in fear. To avoid trouble, we seldom moved around. You found me suddenly, and I didn't know that your engagement is imminent. This time I suggested you to visit the Chen family for a reason."

Cheng Yuyan was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, not knowing what to say.

She thought of that strange feeling again in her heart, was it really a bit extreme for her aunt to block her like that?
Cheng Yuyan's bewilderment made Ye Zhaoyan feel distressed.

"I can't put you in danger. As for what it is, I can't say clearly for the time being."

"I understand, thank you, Zhaoyan. It's because I didn't think it through for a moment. If I had been more determined, maybe my aunt would have nodded."

Ye Zhaoyan shook his head lightly, "I'm afraid that if you persist, this matter will be difficult. Let's ignore it. If she disagrees, I have my own way."

"any solution?"

Ye Zhaoyan leaned close to her ear and muttered a few words softly, Cheng Yuyan suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Is this possible?"

"Don't worry." Ye Zhaoyan reached out and patted her on the shoulder, signaling her not to worry.

There was a rumor circulating in Jindu City for a while.

It is said that Zhuo Wangfu adopted the son of a spy from the enemy country, so he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country.

This matter was not only secretly circulated in Jindu City, but also became the focus of various factions in the court, and everyone used this to examine the Zhuowang school.
