Chapter 179

Ye Chen once again took the opportunity to grab my hand: "So, Miss Lu, the two of us have had a long ghost life, so we can only make do with it in the future."

I disliked his words a bit, but was tempted by his beauty, and finally nodded my head spinelessly, and added, pretending to be strong: "Then you have to listen to me from now on! I'm the boss of the family!"

"Yes." Ye Chen coaxed me.

I thought of the aunts of the Ye family in the garden of Changxiao Mansion, and added: "You are not allowed to marry aunts either! You are only allowed to have me as a ghost!"

It was probably because of my serious appearance that aroused his mischievous heart, Ye Chen asked me: "Then what if I have an aunt?"

"Then...then...then I'll go find my aunt too!"

What I said suddenly made Ye Chen laugh, he pinched my nose, and said with a smile: "What aunt are you looking for? I'm not enough?"

"Who told you to take a concubine!" When I thought that he would really take a concubine in the future, I felt extremely sad.

For the head of a family in the underworld, taking concubines is the most common thing.The only ones who are abnormal are old bachelors like my father who don't take concubines.

Ye Chen will take concubines.This idea suddenly flooded my mind frantically in an instant.

"Luyao?" He called me, but I ignored him because of that thought.

He called me several times, but I ignored him until he realized the crux of the problem.

"I don't take concubines." He said suddenly.

I suddenly felt as if my soul had returned to its place, and I woke up again, and I still couldn't believe it: "Really...?"

"Really!" He nodded solemnly and emphasized, "After we get married, I will only have you, and I will not take concubines."

When I heard the word "married", I, who was still a young girl who didn't know anything about human affairs, blushed all of a sudden.

"Who is going to marry you!" I scolded him shyly, and flew out of Changxiao City.

"It's too late if you don't get married!" Ye Chen shouted from behind and chased after her.

I thought it was nothing at the time, but now that I think about it, these words between Ye Chen and I were all on the street, and the ghosts who came and went heard them clearly, it was really embarrassing to throw it at grandma's house!

Slowly recalling the thoughts from the past memory, when he looked up, he saw Wen Renyu's contemptuous eyes: "Do you know that you just laughed like a fool?"

"Then I am also a happy dementia!"

"Hmph!" Wen Renyu still thinks his father is the best, "Isn't it normal for Ye Jun to protect you? Even a male ghost whose own woman can't protect you is useless!"

I can't be bothered to argue with him anymore.This child has never really loved someone, so he won't understand the twists and turns.

He stared for a while, seeing that I didn't respond, he asked a little unhappy: "Do you know about my father's marriage proposal at Lu's house?"

I shook my head, Dad never mentioned it to me.Even now, in the memories I have recovered, there is no memory of Wen Rentan becoming a secret guard.

Wen Renyu's eyes dimmed, he was silent for a while, and then said: "I hope my father is happy."

"As a friend, so do I."

"he loves you."

I don't know how to answer him.

"Are you really not considering accepting him? If you accept him, I guarantee that he will never look at other women again! The reason why he cares is because he can't give you his heart!"

I wanted to refuse, but looking at Wen Renyu's sad face, I felt that my frankness would be too hurtful.

"Xia Sheng, accept my father!"

He was thinking about how to make him think about it when he refused, when suddenly a voice came from outside: "Xiao Yu."

It's Wen Rentan's voice!
The expressions of Wen Renyu and I changed, and the two of them noticed that the carriage had stopped for an unknown amount of time.

Wen Renyu glared at me, then raised the car curtain step by step, Wen Rentan's pale face came into view, and he showed me a gentle smile: "Shengsheng."

I forced a smile at him and followed Wen Renyu out of the car.Wen Rentan held out his hand to help me, but I couldn't bear to refuse, so I quickly withdrew my hand.

Wen Rentan's eyes flashed with loneliness, I hurriedly picked up my Qiankun bag: "By the way, this is the medicine I brought for you."

I took out a smaller Qiankun bag from it, and handed it to him: "Here are the medicines for stabilizing your cultivation. Ye Chen said that your cultivation speed is fast, but the most important thing is to strengthen your foundation. These medicines Just right."

"Shengsheng just cares about me." Wen Rentan smiled at me as always, as if he didn't hear the conversation with Wen Renyu.

I bit the bullet and smiled at him twice, while looking around my eyes.

This is a piece of wasteland outside Youcheng, and there is not even a single ferocious beast in the surrounding desolation.The car stopped in front of a big rock, and at this moment there was an exit on the rock.

"Go in and talk." Wen Renyu reminded.

Wen Rentan led the way. After we entered, the exit on the stone closed automatically, and it became a complete stone again.

Everything inside was ready, and I suddenly remembered the scene when I met Wen Rentan for the first time, and subconsciously asked: "This is not your home, is it?"

Wen Rentan smiled: "Shengsheng is smart."

He called me to tea, I thanked him, and inquired about his recovery.

"I'm recovering well, but if Shengsheng can accompany me, I will definitely be able to recover faster." Wen Rentan seized no time to set me up.

I pointed at Wen Renyu with a smile: "You should let your son accompany you! Why don't you enjoy the time when your son turns into a caring little padded jacket!"

"That's okay haha..." Wen Rentan's mood was quite comfortable when he mentioned this.

For probably so many years, Wen Renyu has always been against him, which made him worry a lot.Now it is paid back with interest.

After joking a few words, I said what I came for: "You asked Li Xia to come to me to tell me something?"

The smile on Wen Rentan's face disappeared, replaced by a serious one: "Shengsheng, you should know by now that I used to be the secret guard of the Lu family."

I nodded, and he said again: "After Ye Chen went to Lu's house to give the bride price for the first time, your father asked me to check Ye Chen's purpose."

Isn't Ye Chen's purpose to marry me?
At the same time, I noticed what he called my dad.Wen Rentan probably resented my father for rejecting his marriage proposal.

I decided not to think about it for the time being, and heard Wen Rentan continue: "I found out that Ye Chen was against this marriage at the beginning, when he first asked to marry Lu's family in the land of Chang Xiao. But later, he accepted."

I also know this.

"Do you know why?" Wen Rentan asked me.

Although I didn't ask Ye Chen, but since I also rejected the marriage at the beginning, and later fell in love with Ye Chen, I can understand Ye Chen.

"He should be like me. He thinks that the other party is a ghost that he has never seen before. Why should he marry her? Later we met, and the situation is different."

"The situation has indeed changed." Wen Rentan twitched his lips, "Yechen used to be the only son of the Changxiao Mansion and the only young master of the Changxiao Land. Once the old Lord Ye passes away, as long as he can suppress those old ministers, He is the lord of the land of long howls. However, that year, Yeran was born."

I knew what Wen Rentan wanted to say, but I refused to listen: "Since you have investigated Ye Chen, you should know that Ye Ran is not a threat to him."

"How do you know that you can't pose a threat? Old Yejun is old age, but Yeran has a quick mind. He is a concubine, and his identity is indeed inferior to Yechen, but he is still the second young master of Changxiao Mansion. In the future, Old Yejun will die. , he also has the opportunity to become the new generation of Ye Jun."

"Yechen treats Yeran very well, and Yeran also respects Yechen." I frowned.

"Shengsheng, that's just what you saw. Why does Yechen treat Yeran well? And why does Yeran respect Yechen?"

"They are brothers."

Wen Rentan shook his head: "Shengsheng, you are an only child, and you have been protected by your father like an eyeball since you were a child, and you don't understand the competition between siblings. The reason why Ye Chen is good to Ye Ran is because of his brotherhood. But Ye Ran respects Ye Chen entirely because of the difference in strength between the two ghosts."

"Then tell me about the competition between Mo Han and Mo Yuan."

"Shengsheng, there is no comparison. The two kings of Pluto come from the same lineage, and they are in the same line of communication. There is no competition. Yeran is different."

"I don't care about Yeran." I corrected Wen Rentan, "What I care about is Yechen."

Wen Rentan's eyes dimmed a little, before he paused, he said: "I know you have already guessed it in your heart, but I still want to make it clear. Shengsheng, Yechen married you because you are the eldest lady of the Lu family, and you are of great value. It is estimated that it can help him maintain an invincible position in the Changxiao Mansion."

"You said these words last time, I don't want to hear them again." I feel irritable when I hear such words.

"Then you believe it was love at first sight with him?" Wen Rentan asked me.

My heart panicked for no reason.

Wen Rentan suddenly took out a black shell.

"what is this?"

"The phonograph conch is similar to a bug in the world." Wen Renyu introduced.

"Listen." Wen Rentan sent some conch shells in front of me.

I knew that it must not be a good thing, my hands seemed to be filled with lead, and I dared not lift them up.

Seeing my hesitation, Wen Rentan frowned slightly, and pointed the mouth of the conch directly at my ear.

There were two whistles from inside, and then I heard a female voice: "Chen'er, I heard that you sent the dowry to Lu's house in Youcheng to ask for marriage?"

"Yeah." A male voice responded in a neutral tone.

The female voice asked with a smile: "Chen'er, how did you figure it out? My mother told you last time, and you still don't agree!"

Ye Chen didn't respond, Madam Ye was immersed in her own joy, and smiled again: "You should have figured it out a long time ago! Fortunately, it's not too late now! That little bitch in Zeqiuyuan thinks it's great to have a son. Let your father know that he wants her son to marry the Lu family! Don't even think about it, as long as her son's hair doesn't even grow, the Lu family will be surprised!"

She smiled a few times, then realized something was wrong, and asked Ye Chen cautiously: "Chen'er, when I sent ghosts to marry Lu's family last time, didn't they still refuse? Why did they agree this time? Could it be Thinking of you as the kid from Zeqiuyuan? That little bitch was brought back from Youcheng by your father!"

"Luyao has seen me before, so she knows it's me, Yechen." Yechen said lazily.

I've never seen him look like this, as if he didn't care about anything, and he seemed to shake hands with everything.

Madam Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I'm afraid I didn't make it clear and let Zeqiuyuan take advantage of the loopholes. However, the dowry you sent is too much, right?"

"Mother, I'm the one who got married." Ye Chen emphasized, "The dowry is not enough, I can't afford it."

"But I heard that the old man from Lu's family is notoriously picky. When we really marry his daughter, what if the old man not only swallows our dowry, but also doesn't give us the dowry?"

"It's not that I can't afford to support an idler." Ye Chen didn't take it seriously, and at the end, his tone rose slightly, as if he was in a good mood.

When Madam Ye heard about this loss-making business, she stopped doing it: "Chen'er! Then we are going to lose money? The treasure is as big as Youcheng, and mother asked you to marry that girl from Lu's family because of those treasures and the black fox! Let alone Heihuling, if that girl doesn't bring a penny over here, why marry her! There are too many ladies from aristocratic families who are right with you!"

"Mother, are you sure you've gone too far?" Ye Chen asked coldly.

Mrs. Ye didn't notice the displeasure in his tone, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Strictly speaking, it seems that only the girl from the Lu family can be counted. The rest are really a little bit worse..."

Madam Ye clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, "But having said that, Chen'er, the ones in our pockets are ours. If Youcheng doesn't have a dowry, then it's not as good as other aristocratic families!"

"Mother, if I belong to Luyao." Ye Chen emphasized.

"Mother knows that she is the only baby girl in Lu's family." Mrs. Ye was concerned, "Patriarch Lu's lifespan should not be long, if he doesn't break through the bottleneck, wait for him. Those things should still belong to that girl Luyao !"

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye became happy: "Chen'er, you still think clearly! If you marry, marry, finish the marriage as soon as possible, and mother will send a ghost to kill the old man of the Lu family!"

I suffocate.

Madam Ye was able to say this with a smile!The relaxed tone seemed to pick up some big treasure!
I wanted to continue listening, but Wen Rentan took the conch away.I stretched out my hand to ring, put it to my ear and listened again, but there was nothing.

"Where's the one below?" I asked Wen Rentan, "Why is it gone? Mrs. Ye sent someone to kill my father! What happened!"

"Your father escaped unharmed." Wen Rentan's eyes looked at me darkened for a moment, "Don't you remember?"

I thought about it carefully, but no relevant memories emerged from my mind, so I could only shake my head helplessly.

Wen Rentan sighed slightly, and stretched out his hand towards me.

I subconsciously stepped back and wanted to refuse, but Wen Renyu stood behind me at some point, and pushed my head forward, just in time for Wen Rentan to put his hand on my forehead.

The figure of Dad's back flashed in my mind for a moment. This was the eve of the large auction in Youcheng.Because of the seriousness of the incident, Dad would personally go to the auction house every year to inspect the venue and conduct supervision.

He was walking in front, and I followed behind not far or near, hiding among the ghosts coming and going.

This is Wen Rentan's memory, as a secret guard, he does not appear in front of people.He's on a mission to protect my dad right now.

Martial law has been imposed around the auction house, however, as soon as my father entered, a group of ghosts rushed in, aiming at the position where father was, and it was the ultimate move.

The guards of Lu's family scuffled with him immediately, and Wen Rentan also swung his sword and stepped forward to protect my father.However, the opponent has many ghosts and powerful moves, and his moves are fierce, my father can't get out of the whole body for a while.

When the two sides were scuffling, the guards from Youcheng arrived, and the group of assassins fled after seeing that the situation was not good.

Wen Rentan looked back at my father's condition, he was injured but not life-threatening.

He winked at Wen Rentan, Wen Rentan understood, and Dang even chased after him.

He chased for a long time, followed the group of ghosts into the capital city, walked around for a long time, then sneaked out of the city, and finally went straight to the land of long screams.

Afterwards, Wen Rentan was discovered by the patrolling Chang Xiao Iron Guards and had to turn back.

Back in Youcheng, when he went to see my father, I was in my father's study expressing that I would avenge him.

Following the study, Wen Rentan had already heard my voice: "Daddy! I won't let them go! How dare they make trouble on us! I must catch them!"

"Okay, you girl, don't worry about this. Don't go out these days, they are here for Daddy, and Daddy is worried that you will be implicated." Daddy told me worriedly.

"But I want to avenge my father..."

"You should save your cultivation to protect yourself! Daddy can protect himself!"

"He wants me to find Ye Chen! He told me that his spies are everywhere, and he will definitely find out those assassins!"

My tone was full of trust in Yechen, and Wen Rentan felt an inexplicable dull pain in his heart.

It was a heart-wrenching pain, like the pain I felt the other day when I heard that I was not Luyao, but the real Luyao came back.

He thought of how he looked when he left the Land of Long Howls, and the group of assassins who finally hid in the Land of Long Howls, his chest was filled with anger.

"Yaoyao, it's not that daddy is talking about you, you have to change your temper that says wind is rain from now on." Speaking of this, daddy sighed, "Actually, daddy is also reluctant to let you get married...but the wedding will come in a blink of an eye...Yaoyao, Are you really willing to marry Ye Chen?"

"Yeah..." I couldn't help but feel a little shy in my tone.

Daddy thought thoughtfully: "I hope that kid is sincere to you. Yaoyao, Daddy will give you half of your dowry on the surface, and hide the rest secretly for you."

"Why?" I wondered.

"You silly girl, of course the ones you hid secretly are for your use! You don't have a heart, you child, if you are cheated of pretending, you have no place to cry!"

"Yechen will protect me! He's so smart, he won't be deceived too!"

"Silly girl, it's him that daddy helped you guard against!" My daddy taught me in earnest, and after a long time, I escaped by perfunctory him.

When I came out of Dad's study, Wen Rentan stood aside.Seeing me come out, I lowered my head and stepped aside.

This kind of guard is very common in Lu's house, I have long been used to it and didn't notice him at all.

There was disappointment and joy in Wen Rentan's eyes, he slowly raised his head, looked at my back, and watched me leave.

It wasn't until I disappeared from his sight for a long time that he slowly withdrew his gaze, turned around and entered Dad's study.

Dad's cultivation base is a bit vain, and he is sitting on the side adjusting his breath.Seeing him coming in, he asked directly, "Have you found it?"

Wen Rentan told the truth about the situation, and his father was furious: "Land of Changxiao?"

Wen Rentan nodded.

Dad was very angry: "What a Changxiao Mansion! You can't wait to kill me like that! Didn't you say that you have taken a fancy to Youcheng's wealth!"

"I only saw them entering the land of Chang Xiao, and there is no definite evidence." Wen Rentan reminded my father.

"What more evidence is needed! If it wasn't the ghost of Changxiao Mansion, why did you go to the capital to confuse the public? I said that Ye's family is unreliable! I haven't died yet! I'm thinking about going to Lu's family! If I die, Yaoyao will not be able to return." What they eat doesn't even have bones left!"

Dad has always been a gentle person in front of me, and this is the first time I have seen him so angry.

"Go, call Yaoyao to me!"

Wen Rentan didn't move: "Miss won't believe it."

He got the point straight, and Dad didn't insist. Instead, after thinking about it for a long time, he made a decision: "Come on, tell Miss that her wedding date has been postponed."

"How long is the delay?" Wen Rentan asked again.

"Delay until the Ye family is finished!" Daddy scolded angrily, "If you want to marry my daughter, don't think about it! Now that the sword is hanging on my head, I will never marry Yaoyao!"

Wen Rentan breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at my father as if he had made a big decision.

Suddenly, the world before my eyes changed.Wen Rentan forcibly pulled me out of his memory, obviously he didn't want me to see the picture below.

That was his privacy. Although I was curious, I didn't pursue it.

In his memory, I also found that although he was the hidden guard of Lu's family, he was not an ordinary guard.

His status should be higher than all the hidden guards, and he didn't use any respect for my father in his words, more like a consultant hired by the Lu family with a high salary.

But he didn't want to say more, so I didn't ask.

"Did you see it?" Wen Rentan asked me, waking up my thoughts.

I nodded, after his reminder, I vaguely remembered that Ye Chen and I had indeed reached the point of getting married in the previous life.But at the end of the day, my father was still reluctant to let me get married, and postponed the wedding until now.

"Shengsheng, it's not that I deliberately slandered Yechen because of jealousy or other reasons. But all the signs I found show that he is not your lover."

But I like him.Just like him.

I whispered in my heart, recalling the memory of the question I saw just now, and couldn't help asking: "Has the murderer who assassinated my father been found out later? I want definite evidence." Instead of just seeing the other party step into the The land of long howls.

Wen Rentan was obviously dissatisfied with my cover-up: "Shengsheng, you should have seen everything I found. Not only did I guess that way, your father also thought the same."

I picked up the phonograph conch on the table again: "But in your phonograph conch, Mrs. Ye said that she will not want my father's life until I get married with Yechen, so that they can embezzle Lu's property." But in your memory, my father was murdered before Yechen and I got married!"
