Chapter 180
Wen Rentan frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I will not hide this matter from you, I discussed it with your father. Your father said that they must not wait."

"Why can't I wait? I'm going to marry Ye Chen in less than 3 months. What can't wait?"

"Yeran will have a coming-of-age ceremony in two months." Wen Rentan reminded me.

I didn't understand: "What's wrong with his coming-of-age ceremony? It won't affect my marriage with Ye Chen?"

Wen Rentan sighed for my innocence: "Old Yejun's lifespan is approaching, according to the information I inquired about, Yeran's birth mother begged for something for Yeran."

He said it carefully, I thought about it again and again, and asked softly: "Isn't it because Lao Yejun passed Yejun's position to Yeran after Yechen?"

Wen Rentan was noncommittal, but I thought it was impossible: "You still don't know that Ye Ran took the initiative to hand over power after Ye Chen came back this time? You see, Ye Chen voluntarily passed on Ye Jun's position this time. Neither him nor Ye Ran. Why did you want to compete with Ye Chen for the position of Lord Ye?"

"People's hearts are changeable, this can't be said for sure."

"I have also recovered a lot of memories back then. Ye Chen was very kind to Ye Ran, and never had any prejudice against Ye Ran because they were half-brothers."

"What about Madam Ye?" Wen Rentan asked sharply.

"Mrs. Ye is just..." The word "QiPai" twirled around my lips, but I couldn't say it out.

After all, that's Ye Chen's biological mother, no matter how bad it is, I'm Ye Chen's fiancée, so it's hard to tell.

I gave Wen Rentan a knowing look, "In terms of a woman's mood, if someone comes to snatch her husband, and even gave birth to a son to snatch things from her son, no one will be in a good mood."

"So don't have children in the future, I don't like having younger brothers and sisters." Wen Renyu interrupted this sentence abruptly, but I rolled my eyes and gouged it out.

"Shut up!" Who is going to marry Wen Rentan!
Glancing at Wen Rentan, I continued: "Ye Ran respected Ye Chen back then, and he also knew that his strength was not as good as Ye Chen's. Most of the retainers in the Chang Xiao Mansion were on Ye Chen's side. Ye Ran He's a sane ghost, he wouldn't do something like that."

"Whether they will do it or not, only they know." Wen Rentan obviously didn't believe it, "Shengsheng, I'd better explain my reasoning to you."

I subconsciously didn't want to hear it, but I heard that Rentan didn't give me time to refuse, and he had already started talking endlessly: "What did Ye Ran's birth mother ask for in front of Lao Yejun for him, the exact news has not been spread, But nine out of ten are related to Yeran's future."

"As for the old Yejun, who has been blind for thousands of years and is blinded by color, it is not impossible to agree to some exorbitant demands of his beautiful concubine. If he is as we think in public, at Yeran's coming-of-age ceremony, he announces in public Ye Ran is Ye Jun's successor, Ye Chen has no chance."

Wen Rentan stared at me with eyes that wished to put all his thoughts into my head: "Shengsheng, just imagine, if it were your son who robbed everything of a concubine's son, you would be What mood?"

I will kill those dogs and men and women!

The thought flashed through my mind and scared me too.

With Mrs. Ye's arrogance and cruelty, she will definitely not sit still.But if Yeran's mother and son were killed directly, Lao Yejun would be the first to suspect her.

Once she is suspected, Mrs. Ye will definitely die a miserable death when Ye Ran's mother and son are favored.Moreover, it will cause Ye Chen to lose everything.

So, she put her mind on Lu's family.

"However, what she valued back then was the wealth of the Lu family, which was incomparable to any country. The matter of Ye Ran attacking the nobles has nothing to do with the wealth of the Lu family, right?" I asked suspiciously.

"Besides the monstrous wealth of the Lu family, there is one thing that attracts thousands of ghosts." Wen Rentan stared at me faintly, seeing that I hadn't remembered it, he solemnly uttered three words, "Black Fox Ling. "

I was suffocated, and many pictures that I don't want to think of now appeared in my mind out of time.

That was when Ye Chen and I were sitting on the cliff behind Changxiao Mansion, listening to the roar of the Santu River below and the whistling wind of the underworld, drinking and chatting together.

"Yaoyao, I heard that your father hid Lu's army?" Ye Chen suddenly asked this for some reason.

I drank in a daze, fell into his arms, lost my guard, lightly rubbed against him and nodded: "Mmm..."

"Where is it hidden?" He asked in a low voice.

I was so drunk that I raised my head, but under the blood-colored phantom moon, I couldn't see his face clearly.

Because I was too drunk, my head was a little dizzy, and before I had time to answer, I forgot about it and fell into his arms.

"Yaoyao?" Ye Chen called me, waking me up who had just fallen asleep.

"Sleepy..." I don't know how much I drank, my consciousness is not clear, and my mind is full of sleepiness.

"Yaoyao, sleep later, where is Lu's army?"

"so sleepy……"

"Tell me you can go to sleep."

I was not on guard against Ye Chen, but when I heard him say this, I yawned and said, "With me..."

Ye Chen's body visibly stiffened, and he asked again: "Where are you hiding?"

"It's right here...I'm so sleepy..." I grabbed his collar with some dissatisfaction, "You liar, you told me to sleep!"

I yawned loudly, blocked what Ye Chen wanted to ask, and fell asleep in a daze.

At that time, I didn't feel anything, and when I woke up, I was still in Ye Chen's arms.When I slipped home, my father thought that Yechen and I had done something inappropriate for children, so he scolded me very distressed.

Looking back now, Ye Chen seemed to get me drunk on that day.

How could he do such a thing...

I felt cold hands and feet, and heard Wen Rentan say again: "If you can get the Black Fox Ling before Ye Ran's coming-of-age ceremony, Mrs. Ye and Ye Chen will win more than half."

"How to win?"

"Before Lao Yejun announced Yeran as the heir, he killed Lao Yejun. Yechen succeeded in taking over the title, and after that, Yeran's mother and son were flattened and rounded by Mrs. Ye?" Wen Rentan analyzed for me step by step .

I endured the shock, and asked again: "To kill Lao Yejun, do you have to use the Black Fox Command?"

"At that time, Ye Chen had a limited number of Chang Xiao Iron Guards, and the Nether Palace let go of the words and would not interfere with the family's succession. Therefore, we can only focus on the Black Fox Ling."

"But at that time, I was about to marry him. If Yechen went to explain the reason to my father, my father would definitely be willing to lend him a soldier. After all, I am going to marry Yechen, and my father would not want to see me suffer. of."

Seeing and me defending Yechen whenever and wherever, Wen Rentan sighed in frustration: "Why don't you want to believe it!"

"You are really stupid." Wen Renyu let out a disdainful snort, and analyzed with me, "If you blatantly borrowed troops from Youcheng, it would be easy for Old Yejun to find out. Once you startle the snake, Yechen will lose all .Secondly, no one has ever seen the power of the Black Fox Ling. After the summoned ghost kills the old Lord Ye, Ye Chen will not be charged with murdering his father and can take over the throne in Changxiao Mansion with dignity."

This is...

In this matter, no matter how I think, I can't find a reasonable excuse for Ye Chen.

"Then what happened later?" I asked, "What did Lao Yejun say at Yeran's coming-of-age ceremony?"

"He didn't say anything." Wen Ren's face darkened.

I was puzzled, Wen Renyu said with a smile: "The old man died the day before Yeran came of age."

I was taken aback.

Wen Rentan further explained: "It is said that the life essence is exhausted, and the soul lamp lit in the Changxiao Mansion has not been damaged. But the truth... who knows."

Whether it is a living person or a ghost, after a certain level of cultivation, they can simply communicate with the heaven and the earth, so they can also infer their own life span, also known as longevity.

The life expectancy of monks with the same level of cultivation is similar, but there are also differences.The difference between the small ones is a few years, and the big ones can be hundreds of years.

There are many life-extending treasures in the Changxiao Mansion, and Lao Yejun's cultivation base has not broken through the bottleneck, but relying on those treasures such as Shouyuan Pill, he has lived for thousands of years.

It is not unusual for him to die on any day, but it happens to be the day before Ye Ran becomes an adult.

"Because of his death, Yeran's coming-of-age ceremony was not completed, and it became a condolence meeting." Wen Rentan said coldly, "After that, Ye Chen Xijue became Ye Jun, and dealt with a group of ghost queens with thunder. , took the position of Yejun firmly. And Yeran's mother died too."

I do remember something about this.Ye Ran's mother was a concubine, and she was supposed to be raised as a side concubine, but under the strong opposition of the main concubine, Mrs. Ye, she failed.

The death of a concubine does not need to be explained to the outside world, but I was close to Ye Chen at that time, so I knew something.

Yeran's mother said that she was commemorating Lao Yejun and died in love for Lao Yejun.

I don't know if it is, I just remember that it was an unusually beautiful and flamboyant woman.

Such a woman, even though I have only met her a few times, I know that she will only live for herself, and will never die for Lao Yejun.

It's just that I'm an outsider, and I can't say anything about these things after all.

Will Yeran hate Shang Yechen because of this?
I was startled, subconsciously got up and wanted to go back to Chang Xiao Mansion and remind Ye Chen to be careful.

However, after sitting down for so long and what I heard was so shocking, I didn't even feel my legs go numb.

As soon as I stood up, my legs felt cramped, as if thousands of ants were gnawing on them.

I didn't stand still and fell down, Wen Rentan hurriedly stepped forward to support me.

"boom--"

At the same time, there was a loud noise outside the cave, and the whole cave trembled.

The stone at the entrance of the cave was broken, and Wen Renyu drew his sword alertly and stepped forward, but two figures appeared there.

"Brother, you have searched all over Youcheng for her, but she is having a private meeting with her lover here!" Ye Ran's voice was full of sarcasm.

Because of the numbness in my legs, and because of the great change just now, Wen Rentan was worried that there was a sneak attack by a ghost, so he almost hugged me in his arms.

Only then did I realize how awkward my posture with Wen Rentan was!
I wanted to push him away, but he stepped up his strength and refused to let me move!

Ye Chen walked towards me step by step with a dark face. Wen Renyu didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he stepped forward to stop him: "Ye Jun, didn't you see that my father and stepmother are mixing oil? Don't go forward -"

"roll!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was cut off by Ye Chen's roar.He strode forward, grabbed my arm and forcibly dragged me out of Wen Rentan's arms.

Wen Rentan stretched out his hand to shoot me, but Ye Chen immediately turned back towards him with the sword in his right hand.

Wen Rentan took a step back to avoid the sword's edge, Wen Renyu was worried about his father's accident, and wanted to rush over, but Ye Ran stopped him.

The four sides are at a stalemate, and a fight is about to start.Ye Chen's complexion is quite bad, I want to explain to him: "Ye Chen..."

But he didn't let me speak: "Go home."

Before I could say anything else, he gouged out his eyes and heard people, and then dragged me outside.

After walking two steps, he realized that my feet were inconvenient, so he simply hugged me horizontally and took me away angrily.

"Hello..." Wen Rentan shouted behind him, but was interrupted by Ye Ran.

"Stop shouting, it's my brother and sister-in-law's housework, and you, an outsider, are not needed."

"That's obviously my stepmother." Wen Renyu said firmly.

Ye Ran mocked: "I didn't expect Mr. Wenren to have the habit of being someone's son."

"It's better than some ghosts who like to be treated as grandchildren." Wen Renyu also mocked.

Yeran's face turned black all of a sudden, and he wanted to make a move while holding the sword, but Ye Chen walked outside the cave and yelled: "Aren't you leaving?"

"Remember it!" Ye Ran threw down a cruel sentence, turned angrily and followed.

Ye Chen hugged me onto his cub, and sat behind me.Ye Ran also got on his own mount, and the two of them headed towards the land of howls.

After walking for a while, I saw that Ye Chen's face was not as ugly as it was at first, and tentatively opened my mouth to explain: "Ye Chen..."

Someone in the night snorted coldly.

"I was wrong..." I sincerely admitted my mistake, but Ye Chen still ignored me.

But Yeran, seeing me like this, said unhappily: "Miss Lu, how could she be wrong?" The tone was full of sarcasm, "As soon as my elder brother heard that you were missing, he left hundreds of old ghost retainers in the land of Changxiao and rushed to you. You City, turned You City upside down, and did not hesitate to use your energy..."

"Ye Ran!" Ye Chen suddenly cut Ye Ran off loudly, "Go to You City and bring the Chang Xiao Iron Guard back."

"Brother! Why don't you let me go on!"

"Are you going?" Ye Chen raised his tone to Ye Ran in a rare way.

Ye Ran glared at me angrily, turned his horse's head and headed towards Youcheng.

My heart was disturbed by his words: "What did you do?"

"Nothing." Ye Chen said coldly.

Seeing Ye Ran's distressed appearance when he left, Ye Chen must have made a great sacrifice, and I became anxious: "Don't lie to me!"

"Then why did you go to Wen Rentan and his son without telling me?" Ye Chen asked back, his tone anxious and angry.

He was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "I asked them to ask about Lu's family, and I didn't do anything else!"

"I'll help you find out about Lu's family. You don't need to go find them!"

"But they have clues..."

"They have clues, why don't I have them?" Ye Chen was really angry this time.

I curled my lips, originally thinking that after asking Wen Rentan for clarification, I would make a quick decision and go back before the Chang Xiao Iron Guards found out that I was missing.

But because the news given by Wen Rentan was too shocking, I was only focused on explaining to Ye Chen, and I didn't notice the time for a while, so I was delayed.

"Sorry……"

"What's the use of being sorry? If something happens to you again, have you ever thought about me?"

"I was wrong……"

"You know you're wrong and you still go to him?"

"I just want to know more about Lu's family... I am the only living ghost in Lu's family... I don't want my father to carry the name of a rebellious minister all the time..." My eyes were slightly moist when I said this stand up.In addition to sadness, there is also some grievances in my heart.

Ye Chen sighed for a long time, and finally he was not so tough: "I know you won't have an affair with Wen Rentan, you are my woman, if I don't even believe in you, I don't deserve you! But Xia Sheng! You shouldn’t have gone to him without telling me!”

"I won't dare anymore..."

"Stay away from him from now on!" Ye Chen got angry when he mentioned Wen Rentan.

I wanted to nod along with his words, but I didn't want to lie to him, so I didn't respond.

Ye Chen was even more unhappy now: "Sheng Sheng! Do you still want to see him?"

He obviously wanted me to refute, but Wen Rentan knew too much information, and I couldn't bear to miss so many clues and let the murderer go unpunished.

"He's my father's secret guard..." I told Ye Chen tactfully that Wen Rentan still had useful clues.

However, Ye Chen didn't give any face to him: "He can't even be your father!"

This sentence suddenly exploded in my mind. After thousands of years, I looked at Ye Chen's sharp-edged face, and saw the domineering and unreasonable him back then in a daze.

Back then, he also said the same sentence to me, just a few days before the accident at Lu's house.

Why did he say this?

I thought about it carefully for a long time, but I couldn't remember it. I just remembered that he was very, very angry at that time, and then we had a cold war.

I went back to You City, and he also went back to the Land of Long Howls.In the next few days, none of us talked to anyone anymore.

Seeing me like that, my father knew that I was being bullied by Ye Chen.In a fit of rage, he seemed to have written a divorce letter.

correct!The betrothal gift that Ye Chen sent back then was sent back by my father at that time!

The engagement between Ye Chen and I was broken a long time ago...

I suddenly felt terrible, this is something I firmly believed in when I was Xia Sheng.But now, unexpectedly discovered that the marriage contract that she had believed in for so long had already been annulled 2000 years ago.

I don't remember these things anymore, but Ye Chen should.

However, he still kept saying that I was his fiancee.

If he really cares about me that much!When my father sent the betrothal gift back, why did he directly sign the divorce letter!

asshole!

I noticed that his arms around me were constantly tightening, and when I remembered what happened back then, I became even more angry, and I pulled his hand away with all my strength.

Ye Chen was taken aback.

I pushed him away and jumped off the horse.

The body immediately lost weight and fell straight down.It was only then that I discovered that Wu Zi had already flown into the sky at some point, and my vaulting horse fell directly from the sky!
"Shengsheng!" Ye Chen's anxious voice came, he left Wu Zai and flew up to catch me, he was relieved.

"What are you doing!" He was slightly annoyed, seeing my complexion, he didn't say any more.

Wu Zai had come back to us obediently, and he hugged me up again.After thinking about it, he comforted me: "We'll talk about it when we go back."

"Let's talk about it now..." Thinking that the engagement had been broken off long ago, I felt thick-skinned when I thought of Chang Xiao Mansion.

Ye Chen looked down at me, his eyes darkened: "What's the matter?" He asked with concern, all the anger and blame just now disappeared.

I didn't have the courage to tell him about the dissolution of the engagement.

He loves me, otherwise, he won't be with me after the engagement is broken, pretending that there is no such thing at all.

The appearance of the black fox flashed in my mind, and the words Wen Rentan said repeated in my mind like a broken record player.

I told Guo Yechen that Heihuling was with me, if he pretended to be with me for Heihuling, it was not impossible.

Suddenly, my heart panicked.

"Yechen..."

"Huh?" He quickly responded, "I'm here."

I don't know what to say, he paused, and hugged me tightly, "I was too anxious just now, I shouldn't attack you. Don't be angry, okay?"

I nodded, I wasn't angry at all because he attacked me.I know cared about that broken engagement.

"Do you...do you love me..." I didn't know what was wrong, so I asked this hypocritical question.The heart seems to be floating on the rough sea, and it can't be stable no matter what.

Ye Chen hugged me tightly, and said to me softly: "I love you, of course I love you."

"Then you won't want me one day?"

"Of course not." He frowned slightly when he saw me, and wiped away the tears in my eyes, "Why are you crying? Stop crying, it's my fault, I shouldn't blame you. I just... ...too anxious..."

"What's the rush?" I asked while trying to hold back my tears.

He paused, and although he had hidden it well, I could still detect the worry in his tone: "I'm worried that you will be snatched away by Wen Rentan. I'm worried that he will speak ill of me."

"I won't believe it..." I whispered.

Only then did Ye Chen heave a sigh of relief, hugged me tightly, and made a solemn promise to me: "Sheng Sheng, I will never let you down again in my life!"

Again?
I was supposed to be extremely happy to hear the word "live up", but the word "Zai" was all over my mind.

In the last life, he betrayed me...

How is it negative?

Dad's pair of eyes that are dying to die seem to be still in front of me, but I look at Ye Chen, but I dare not imagine it anymore.

I returned to the Chang Xiao Mansion in a daze, I didn't even know how I got off my horse and walked into the bedroom.

Yechen whispered many words into my ear, I answered casually, but didn't listen to a single word.

It wasn't until he was about to leave that I stopped him: "Yechen!"

"Huh?" He stopped.

I don't know what to say anymore.

He smiled at me: "Those veterans are waiting for me in the living room. I'll go over and deal with them now, otherwise they will blame you. I will come back to accompany you soon."

I nodded, recalling what I saw in the warehouse last time, and asked again: "The betrothal gift...the betrothal gift you sent to Youcheng..."

I dare not ask further.

Ye Chen turned back, a little puzzled: "Those are all in the warehouse. If you want to take something, just take the key and go get it. The left and right are for you. On the day we get married, if the bride price is not enough, I will give it to you again." Add new ones."

"Then how did the bride price be sent back?" I mustered up the courage to ask.
