Chapter 129: The rain has stopped and the clouds have not dispersed
"Why did Yang Wanli invite you to Yang Han's coming-of-age ceremony?"
On the way back to the Xia family's mansion, Ye still suddenly asked.
"This ...... How do I know, it's the first time I've met our mysterious lord today. β
Xia Fan said with a wry smile.
"According to the customs of our Daqian Dynasty, the coming-of-age ceremony of the younger generation has always only invited family members and the closest friends to participate, and you obviously don't meet these two points."
Ye still didn't look at Xia Fan's face, but walked in front with his hands behind his back, and said to himself.
Xia Fan followed behind Ye Yi, looking at Ye Yi's graceful figure, he was a little uneasy for a while.
"Before today, you and our city lord have indeed never seen each other, so it can be ruled out that the city lord invited you for your personal reasons, and no one would invite a guy who is almost a stranger to attend his son's coming-of-age ceremony."
"What's more, the person who sent the invitation is still the lord of a city. After all, he still has to consider the basic stability and balance in the city, and between the two Xia Liu families, under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for him to show any inclination. So the only reason left is ...... It can only be because of Ning Fei'er. What is the relationship between the city lord and Ning Fei'er? β
Ye still analyzed in turn, speaking at a slow pace, but without any pause.
Obviously, she had thought of these things very clearly.
And Xia Fan was when he heard Ye still ask what the relationship between Yang Wanli and Ning Fei'er was, and cold sweat flowed out all of a sudden.
The first thought that came to mind was the sentence that Ning Fei'er had said to him before.
Never underestimate a woman's wisdom......
"What's the fuss? Are you thinking about how to use a lie that seems as plausible as possible to fool me? β
Seeing that Xia Fan hesitated slightly, Ye still directly debunked Xia Fan's plan.
"Ahem, how dare you...... The main thing is that I don't know what the relationship between the Ning family and the city lord is. β
The inner thoughts were broken by Ye Yi's words, and Xia Fan suddenly coughed a few times in embarrassment, and spoke.
Ye still didn't speak, just stopped, and then turned around and stared at Xia Fan with unblinking eyes.
In a few seconds, Xia Fan was stared at by Ye and couldn't bear it.
Raised his hands above his head, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I surrender." However, I should state in advance that I really don't know what the relationship between the Ning family and the city lord is. All judgments are just speculation. Originally, at the beginning, I thought that the Ning family was the forbidden body of the city lord, and it was a delicate flower raised by the city lord in the Wanhua Building. But then I found out that this idea was wrong, until just now, through the observation of the eyes of the city lord looking at the Ning family, I think the most likely explanation is...... The two should be father and daughter. β
Speaking of this, Xia Fan peeked at Ye Fei'er, and after finding that Ye still didn't say anything, he had to continue: "I don't know why Ning Fei'er lives in Wanhua Building, but judging from Yang Wanli's public praise of Ning Fei'er in the past and today's situation, Yang Wanli himself obviously still loves Ning Fei'er very much. In other words, Ning Fei'er can't live in the City Lord's Mansion, and the relationship between the two can't be made public, and the reason for this is probably that there are some circumstances that even Yang Wanli can't decide. β
"But I don't know exactly what the situation is, so there are still some things that I can't figure out for the time being."
In the end, Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders and put on an expression of incomprehension.
"Yang Wanli's wife is the sister-in-law of the king of Dongshan County, if Ning Fei'er is really Yang Wanli's illegitimate daughter, there is really no way to make this relationship public. In this case, a lot of things make sense. For example, the reason why Yang Wanli is so different from Ning Fei'er is probably partly because of guilt. And he invited you to participate in Yang Han's coming-of-age ceremony because of Ning Fei'er...... He probably already sees you as Ning Fei'er's man, right? You guys ...... last night Is there really nothing happening? β
Ye was still talking, and his eyes were full of doubt again when he looked at Xia Fan.
"I swear!"
Xia Fan immediately straightened his chest and abdomen, his thumb was bent, his four fingers were straight, and he raised his hand next to his face, making a gesture of swearing.
He looked solemn and looked serious.
"Well, I'll believe you. However, Yang Wanli will invite you to participate in Yang Han's coming-of-age ceremony, it must be because he has investigated yesterday's events very clearly and knows about your overnight stay in Ning Fei'er's boudoir last night. In short, it is certain that our city lord must want to match you and Ning Fei'er. β
Ye Yan's tone began to become a little dangerous.
"Ahem, this ...... Even if the city lord wants to match me and Ning Fei'er, he must investigate me first, right? He's only seen me for the first time today, and no father would want to marry his daughter to a bastard. So I think that the lord of the castle may examine me at the coming-of-age ceremony, and as long as I behave the same as before, the lord of the castle will never have such thoughts again, right? β
Xia Fan said cautiously.
"Yes, that makes sense."
Ye still nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing that the dangerous aura on Ye Yi's body dissipated, Xia Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't get me wrong."
Before this breath could be spit out, Ye Yan suddenly spoke again, and Xia Fan's heart, which had been put down, was raised again.
"What?"
"The reason I'm concerned about this is not because I have any thoughts about you. Although you and I are in a fiancΓ© relationship, it doesn't matter to me exactly who you want to have in a relationship with. I'm just worried that if you get too involved with Ning Fei'er, it will be detrimental to your Xia family. β
Ye Yan's eyes flickered a little, and as he spoke, he had already turned around again and took another step.
"If Ning Fei'er is really Yang Wanli's illegitimate daughter, then if you are too close to her, I am afraid it will be a blessing in disguise. Yang Wanli has always paid attention to a balance in the rule of Qingyang City, and he will never allow a force in Qingyang City that can really pose a threat to the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, it is impossible for his children to get too close to the two families. In the event of an unexpected situation, it can only be proven...... Yang Wanli probably had other thoughts, and this kind of thought, almost predictably, would never be of any benefit to the two families. β
Ye still walked in front of Xia Fan, and continued in a very calm voice.
Xia Fan was slightly stunned, Ye Yi's words reminded him of this.
Although most of the reason why Ye still said this was actually just because he was worried about the relationship between him and Ning Fei'er, this kind of unintentional remark often hit the bull's-eye!
Yang Wanli...... Seems to be really plotting something......
Xia Fan thought silently and raised his head at the same time.
The rain has stopped, but the clouds have not yet lifted. The sky of Qingyang City was still shrouded in a fog......
