Chapter 86: Clearing the Field

"Where are you going?"

Zhou Mingcheng invited Xiao Yan several times, but he still refused. He finally got to the point.

Xiao Yan had been waiting for this for a long time: "Let's go to the Marquis' Mansion."

He pointed his chin at Yue Hongyu who was huddled in the corner and said, "My wife's grandmother is ill, and my brother-in-law came to visit her in person. I thought I should show my filial piety and go there in person."

At first glance, there's nothing wrong with what he said. It would be better if his expression wasn't so arrogant when he spoke.

Zhou Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled as he came to his senses: "You can do it."

He laughed: "That's indeed a very filial piety."

Xiao Yan was not angry either, and waved his hand at him: "Okay, I'm still sick, I'll go first. See you next time."

Even after the curtains were lowered, one could still hear people outside laughing and discussing, "Xiao Yan went to curry favor with the Yue family," and "He's amazing! Such a filial son..."

Just by listening to the unruly laughter, you can tell how arrogant those people were laughing, and how "famous" this incident will become.

Yue Hongyu tried to hold back, but couldn't help it anymore: "You just said that, aren't you afraid that everyone will know about it?"

Don't embarrass my sister!

Naturally, he didn't have the courage to say this.

Xiao Yan looked at him sideways, as if he was looking at a fool: "What else?"

Yue Hongyu was stunned: "What?"

He suspected that he had heard wrongly, but he saw the young man leaning back, his every move showing his romantic and dandy manner: "This young master is going to do real work, of course I have to let people know. Otherwise, why should I go?"

Yue Hongyu was a little confused. He understood every word he said, but when they were serialized together, he didn't understand a single word.

"It's just a visit, is that considered a serious matter?"

Xiao Yan laughed, and it made him want to get angry: "To your grandfather, yes."

Yue Hongyu: ...If he could beat him, he would definitely beat him to death!
Just now he said he was his brother-in-law, and now he's his grandfather?

Just wait, when we return to the Marquis' Mansion and his territory, he will make him pay!
He comforted himself like this.

After a while, the carriage arrived at Qianhua Lane. It was a bit crowded here and the carriage seemed unable to pass through. It was stuck for a long time and could not move.

Yue Hongyu finally felt a little relieved: "I just said that the road is difficult to travel, why do you have to take such a big carriage..."

You deserve it!

However, this secret pride did not last long, because he heard Xiao Yan say to the servant outside: "Clear the way."

Yue Hongyu frowned: "This street is like this. No matter how powerful your people are, it is impossible to clear the place immediately."

Xiao Yan closed his eyes and ignored him.

Yue Hongyu was so angry that he cursed his bad luck in his heart. If he had known this earlier, he would have kept silent. He would have known it after being hit by a wall.

Who would have thought that he would be the one to be slapped in the face in the end.

Not long after Xiao Yan's words spread, someone came to find him.

Lifting the carriage curtain, it was an officer dressed in the uniform of the Imperial City Division. He was condescending to the common people, but he was so flattering to Xiao Yan that he almost bowed to the ground. "Don't worry, Second Young Master. We are already clearing the road. We promise that we won't delay your business."

The man next to him just raised his hand impatiently, as if he had long been accustomed to these privileges.

The man in officer's uniform quickly lowered his head and made way.

After a while, the road was cleared and the wide and dazzling carriage slowly headed towards the marquis' mansion.

Even in the car, one could hear the surprised voices of the people outside:
"Who is this? Why is he making such a big scene? Did the Imperial City Bureau clear the way for him?"

"Is he a royal relative?" "No, he's more powerful than a royal relative. He's from the Duke of Wei's Mansion. He said he was going to the Marquis of Yong'an's Mansion to visit the Yue family..."

……

Yue Hongyu looked at Xiao Yan silently, and his originally disdainful and hateful look became complicated.

Finally, he withdrew his gaze and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiao Yan noticed it, but just looked up at him and then closed his eyes again.
-
"What's going on ahead? Why is the road blocked again?"

An impatient female voice came from the carriage, and the maidservant beside the carriage hurriedly explained in a low voice: "My lord, they said that someone wants to pass ahead, and the Imperial City Department is clearing the area."

Princess Anyang suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Who is so arrogant? How dare you block my way?"

A hint of cruelty flashed across the girl's beautiful eyes.

The maid's voice was silent for a moment, and then it sounded hazily: "My lord, it's Mr. Xiao II."

"Xiao Yan?"

The curtain of the carriage was pulled open from the inside, and Princess Anyang poked her head out and asked, "Where is he?"

When she heard it was Xiao Yan, she no longer thought that the other person deserved to die.

If it was him, then these untouchables were indeed not worthy of blocking his way!
The maid opened her mouth, but when she thought about the news she had just heard, she was a little afraid to say anything.

Anyang was impatient: "Tell me! Are you mute?"

"My lord," the maid tried to keep her voice calm, "I heard that the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an is seriously ill, and the second young master went to visit her."

"bump--"

There was no doubt that the carriage was hit hard, and from the expression on her face, it could be seen that the princess had remembered where the "Yong'an Marquis' Mansion" was.

"Turn around. Since the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an is ill, I will go to visit her as well."

The woman's cold voice sounded, and the maid shuddered, and the uneasiness in her heart grew.

The princess has never been treated well when she meets the Second Young Master Xiao!
-
"Who are you? Stop! Do you think you can just barge into the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion?"

Xiao Yan was about to go in to "visit" his grandmother, and was a little slow to react when he was called.

Until Yue Hongyu caught up and saw this scene, his heart suddenly sank:
Oops, he finally remembered what he had forgotten.

"You don't know me, your uncle, but he must know me, right?"

Although Xiao Yan was smiling, people who knew him knew that he was angry.

The servant naturally recognized his young master and said hesitantly, "Hello, young master, son-in-law... Madam ordered that no outsiders are allowed to enter the mansion, so we..."

"Are you waiting here?"

Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head to look at the embarrassed Yue Hongyu: "Didn't your mansion come to ask for medicine in person?"

Yue Hongyu froze, not knowing how to explain. It was his own decision to seek medicine, and he did not tell his grandfather...

Or to be more precise, after hearing the "method" from Yue Xianxian, he couldn't wait to take on the task of seeking medicine without even considering -

Since my grandfather hasn't forgiven my sister yet, what should I do if she comes back with the medicine but is stopped at the door by the servants and not allowed to enter?
"It can't be that we bring medicine to save people but require entry to the Marquis' Mansion, right?"

Xiao Yan spoke with a half-smile and directly tore off the last layer of fig leaf.

At this time, Yue Hongyu also couldn't stand Xiao Yan, and he knew what to say.

"No, I have never been treated like this since I was a child!"

Xiao Yan said something out of the blue, and the following action made Yue Hongyu feel numb——
