Previously, Chen Qiuniang asked this question, Ye Xuan did not deny it, nor did she answer it positively, she just had to ask it again.

Ye Xuan pursed his lips and looked embarrassed. He took a cup of tea slowly, took a sip, and then said, "Can I not answer this?" ”

Chen Qiuniang waved her hand and asked, "You signed a confidentiality agreement?" ”

"Well, sort of." Ye Xuan obviously didn't even want to answer this question, so he only drank tea with a depressed expression.

Chen Qiuniang had already guessed seven or eight points when she saw Ye Xuan like this, and the final result of the argument between Jing Liang and Zhang Ci was not to let Chen Qiuniang marry the Zhu family, but let Ye Xuan marry her. After all, the Ye family is just a family of merchants who control the salt industry in the world, and they have a feud with the Zhang family. Ye Xuan came to marry her, first, the Ye family was in charge of most of the salt manufacturing, and in the hearts of the emperors in the past dynasties, it was the center of money manufacturing, and its status was absolutely not to be underestimated, and it could completely compete with the Zhu family; In addition, the Ye family and the Zhang family have a feud, Ye Xuanlai married Chen Qiuniang, and others will not suspect the Zhang family.

"It's a good calculation. It's a pity—" Chen Qiuniang sighed and shook her head.

"What? It's like you have some kind of opinion. Ye Xuan put down the teacup, sat opposite him, and asked very seriously.

Chen Qiuniang held the coffee table in one hand, lit the charcoal fire in the stove again, and said while gently fanning the fire with a pu kui fan: "You have a good abacus, but unfortunately I am a living person, I have my own ideas, and I will not follow the results you agreed." ”

Ye Xuan heard it in a fog, and after a while, he asked, "You mean that you don't want to marry me?" ”

"yes." Chen Qiuniang saw that the fire in the stove was almost enough to boil water, and she made another pot of tea, so she sat up straight and nodded to Ye Xuan.

"Why? Is this son bad? Ye Xuan looked surprised.

Chen Qiuniang sat upright and looked at him for a moment, and said, "The son has a good family background, good looks, and good character. It's really a good choice for a son-in-law. ”

"Then why won't you let me?" Ye Xuan looked dazed.

Chen Qiuniang stared at him seriously, smiled, and said, "Because I found that Ye Gongzi is still very innocent and innocent." actually agreed to the result they finally agreed. ”

"I don't understand." Ye Xuan shook his head, and then, said, "It's one thing for them to agree, it's another thing for me to marry you." At least, I'm not playing with you, I think you're very suitable for me, and you're also very suitable for being the head of my Ye family. ”

"Huh? Isn't the heir of your Ye family your eldest brother? Chen Qiuniang ignored Ye Xuan's seriousness, grabbed a loophole and crooked the building.

She didn't want to marry this Ye Gongzi. Although this Ye Gongzi has a good family background, he is also handsome, and he doesn't want Zhang Ci to be so ignorant of fireworks in the world, rich and powerful. But once she agreed, it would be to set the Ye family against the Zhu family, and with Zhu Wenkang's means, she would definitely use a method to bring disaster to the Ye family.

And can the favored Ye family really sit back and relax? Chen Qiuniang doesn't think so. Because the Ye family has been in charge of the salt industry for too long, it has gone through many generations. Although the monarchs of all dynasties have relied on the Ye family's superb salt-making technology and let them profit from it, Chen Qiuniang does not think that there will be a monarch who is truly grateful to the Ye family.

People in power always want to put everything in their own hands to be safe, and uncontrolled things, people, institutions, and situations will make it difficult for those in power to sleep. The Ye family's salt-making technology, like the Zhang family's firearms technology, is a sharp blade that the emperor wants to hold in his hands. Of these two, one is absolute force and the other is absolute wealth.

Even if she becomes an emperor like waste wood, she will try her best to collect these real things. Then, if she marries Ye Xuan, she may find an excuse for Zhu Wenkang to deal with the Ye family, and at the same time, she will also tear up the hole for Zhao Kuangyin to deal with the Ye family.

Zhang Ci and Jing Liang's move seems to be clever, but in fact, they take care of the Zhang family, but they put the Ye family in danger. But this fool Ye Xuan didn't notice it, so he agreed.

"No, the true heir is me." Ye Xuan said very strictly.

"Yo, your family also plays Chai Rong's set, and the entire heir on the bright side comes to block the real heir." Chen Qiuniang joked lightly.

Ye Xuan looked surprised, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know that Chai Rong's real prince is in the dark?" ”

It seems that the previous guess was good, Chai Yu is indeed the real prince hidden by Chai Rongzhi, the real heir of the cultivation. It's a pity that everything, even if you have no last resort, it depends on luck. From a philosophical point of view, it is only by chance that a necessity can be created. Well, in fact, everything is full of chance.

In a world full of accidents, the final success of anything, in addition to the necessary deployment, the most important thing is to depend on luck. And Chai Rong is the one who has lost so much luck.

Chen Qiuniang sighed for Chai Rong, and then replied to Ye Xuan, saying, "Since you are a member of the Nine Great Families, and you discussed my affairs last night, don't you know that I and Chai Yu are old acquaintances?" ”

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "I heard them say that you and Chai Yu are old acquaintances, but I don't think that the heir chosen by Chai Rong will tell you about those secret things." Even if he can give you his life. Because his identity itself will bring you misfortune. ”

Chen Qiuniang smiled and lowered her head to fiddle with the teacup. I secretly thought in my heart that Ye Xuan seemed to know everything, but he was in a state of great wisdom and foolishness everywhere, which made people feel that this person was harmless.

"Ye Gongzi is very knowledgeable." Chen Qiuniang raised her head again and added tea to his teacup.

"So, I'm curious, how did you learn about Chai Rong's secret cultivation of the crown prince?" Ye Xuan leaned forward and asked in a low voice that only two people could hear.

Chen Qiuniang casually fiddled with the celadon tea set and said, "He only told me about his life when he was a child, I guess." ”

Ye Xuan didn't speak, only drank a few cups of tea before saying, "No wonder he looks at you with admiration." ”

Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Ye Xuan was not referring to Chai Yu, but to Zhang Ci. She couldn't help but think of Zhang Ci's conversation with Jing Liang last night, and her whole heart was in chaos. However, since he cares about her, in the end, she is not no match for the picturesque country.

When she thought of this, she laughed at herself and said, "There are many people who are impressed with me." ”

"He's different." Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "I have known him since childhood. Since you know the Nine Great Families, then, I will sue you that he was born for the Nine Great Families. When he first showed amazing intelligence, he was carefully cultivated to exist as a future heir. His position is destined to be cautious, walking on thin ice, putting the interests of the family first all his life, not having his own preferences, not having friends, and not showing who he cares about, because the slightest care will become a weakness for the enemy to use. He, even if he sneezes, you have to weigh the pros and cons, but he is different to you. ”

When Ye Xuan said this, his eyes looked straight over, and he said very seriously: "The things he did to you, you are so smart, and you didn't fall asleep last night." You know it. Sending someone to protect you was not necessary at the time; Secondly, in the Zhuxi Mountain incident, he used a stratagem to persuade the elders and took a firearm out for you, with the purpose of deterring Zhao Kuangyin. After all, firearms had not been available for hundreds of years, and the elders felt that those emperors dared to run rampant because they had almost forgotten the power of firearms; And this time, since he heard that you were going to marry Zhu Wenkang, he couldn't sleep well, so he sent someone to invite me to Liuhe Town. What he meant was to let me and Zhu Wenkang rob you. Miss Chen, I wasn't happy about it, you know? As the heir of the Ye family, how can I marry an unknown woman at will. ”

Chen Qiuniang listened quietly, looking at Ye Xuanyan's expression, and did not interrupt. Ye Xuan paused, drank a cup of tea, and said: "Chai Yu's matter, we knew about it from the beginning when he came to Liuhe Town, but no one made a move. Because I don't know what Zhao Kuangyin's intention was in putting Chai Yu in Liuhe Town, it was a coincidence, or to lure the Zhang family to make a move. In short, we will never touch Chai Yu's business. You can't give the other party the slightest chance. But because you begged him, he intervened to save Chai Yu. Qiu Niang, he is different to you, in his position, that is already the limit. ”

After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Chen Qiuniang so seriously. Chen Qiuniang also looked at him, the surface was as flat as a mirror, but the heart was ups and downs. She suddenly felt that she was not a very oppressive person, because she wanted to cry very much.

"What's the use of you telling me this." After a while, she sighed.

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just don't vomit unpleasantly." He's done a lot for you. ”

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes, and Ye Xuan said again: "The one on the border of Linqiong is just to protect you and show it to his political enemies." Besides, do you think that if he hadn't deliberately let Jiang Fan go, with the methods of the guards of the Zhang Mansion, Jiang Fan would not have been able to escape even if he was a sword saint. He deliberately let Jiang Fan go to protect you. ”

Chen Qiuniang also thought about these possibilities. But she denied them one by one like an ostrich, and now Ye Xuan has said everything. Her heart was in turmoil.

"Don't talk about it. None of this makes sense today. She waved her hand, but her heart was chaotic, and then she was deeply sad, because a person who cared so much about herself could never walk side by side with herself.

Ye Xuan chuckled lightly and said, "If he sees you like this, he will be pleased." The person who strangled a guard in Zhu Mansion with just a few words like this is so indifferent that people feel that this little girl is almost demonic, and now when it comes to him, you are also flustered. ”

Chen Qiuniang froze, pouted and looked at him, and said, "If you have something to say, it's all meaningless." He helped me save Chai Yu, and it would be fine. ”

"So, marry me. I promise you that you are alone in your life, and the white heads will not be separated. Ye Xuan said again, that look and tone were very serious, as if he was really proposing.

Chen Qiuniang gasped and asked suspiciously: "You know the truth, you still ask for a kiss?" ”RS
