An Ran looked at Shangguan Jing's eyes and was silent for a while before saying, "Brother, I need to think about it." ”

"You think about it, it's right. But in my opinion, it doesn't hurt. Just let the cold shopkeeper come forward to talk, and no one will find out your identity, just like the cold shopkeeper has always been talking about business. Shangguan Jing said.

He thought that An Ran was just worried that others would know that winning the number was actually her decision. Because he didn't know that Ling Ye was Nan Ling Ye.

"If only things were that simple. An Ran muttered to herself.

"What did you say?" Shangguan Jing didn't hear An Ran's words clearly.

"It's nothing, I just thought it would be best to deal with it. An Ran responded.

"Think about it, give me an answer tomorrow, and I'll go talk to Ling Ye again. Shangguan Jing said.

An Ran nodded, and the two walked together, and they didn't talk about this topic again along the way.

Back in the courtyard, An Ran asked people to invite Leng Zhen over, saying that there was something important to discuss, sitting in the courtyard, An Ran pondered.

Leng Zhen came over soon, and when he saw An Ran sitting in the courtyard with a deep frown, he guessed what should have happened.

"Miss, you look for me. Leng Zhen shouted.

"Uncle Leng, sit down, sit down and talk about it. An Ran asked Leng Zhen to sit down first.

After Leng Zhen sat down, An Ran withdrew his eyes, turned to look at Leng Zhen, and said with a straight face: "Uncle Leng, there is something I want to discuss with you, see what your opinion is?"

"Miss, please. ”

"Uncle Leng, have you heard about the salt shortage in the west?" An Ran asked.

Leng Zhen nodded, "I heard, now I heard that the imperial court has sent His Royal Highness King Ning to relieve the disaster, and the famine is easier, but there is a salt shortage, and it is estimated that there is no way to save it from the official salt side." "The most fundamental problem of the salt shortage in the west is because of the problem of official salt.

"Tonight, I saw Nan Lingye. An Ran said suddenly, her tone was very light, as if she was talking about the most ordinary thing.

Leng Zhen was slightly stunned and looked at An Ran, "Miss, why are you, why are you and him still entangled?"

I had long heard the eldest lady say that she would not be entangled with Nan Lingye anymore, but I didn't expect that so long had passed, and they were still in contact.

"There are some things that you can't do if you don't want to. An Ran sighed, took a deep breath, An Ran got back to business, and continued: "Uncle Leng, Nan Lingye specially found me and Shangguan Jing tonight, and the purpose was to do the salt shortage in the west. ”

Leng Zhen raised his eyebrows, thought of something, looked at An Ran, and asked uncertainly: "Could it be that he hopes that Shang Yan will solve the problem of salt shortage in the west?"

An Ran nodded, "He didn't know that I was the one who won the number, he asked Shangguan Jing to meet with you and discuss the cooperation between Guanyan and Shangyan, Shangguan Jing said that he would give him an answer tomorrow, let me think about it."

Hearing this, Leng Zhen was silent, and after a while, he said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Miss, if we cooperate with him, then your identity is very likely to be discovered by him." ”

All along, they have been cautious, just to prevent Nan Lingye from discovering that An Ran is Lin Wuxi, but if An Ran's safety is threatened because of this cooperation, it is absolutely impossible.

"That's what I'm thinking about. But Uncle Leng, if we refuse, although we are safe, but what about the people in the west, so many lives, I can't ignore it. An Ran said.

She didn't want Nan Lingye to know that she was the owner of the winning brand, but she couldn't ignore the lives of the people in the west.

Leng Zhen also knows what An Ran said, no matter how he does it, it is a dilemma.

"What does the eldest lady mean?" Leng Zhen asked.

An Ran didn't speak, those phoenix eyes were extremely deep, revealing a complicated vision, and after a long time, An Ran spoke: "Maybe Shangguan Jing is right, we shouldn't think about things too complicated." ”

Leng Zhen looked at An Ran in confusion, waiting for her to continue.

"It's still the same as before, it's like going to talk about a business, and Uncle Leng will go to the appointment. I was thinking that if Nan Lingye really wanted to track down my whereabouts, then even if we didn't cooperate with him, he would be able to find out. It's been so long, I believe that his heart has also faded and he won't deliberately pursue it. An Ran analyzed.

"What does the eldest lady mean that we have decided to cooperate with the imperial court?" Leng Zhen asked again.

An Ran nodded, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "I can't look at the people in the west like this, and don't do anything." ”

"I see what the eldest lady means. Leng Zhen bowed slightly.

"There is another question, Uncle Leng, when negotiating with Nan Lingye, the necessary conditions still have to be raised, in business, since we are businessmen, we always want more or less, and we can't let him see anything. An Ran reminded.

"What the eldest lady means, I understand, I know what to do, don't worry. Leng Zhen smiled.

"I will tell Shangguan Jing about the appointment tomorrow night. He didn't know that Ling Ye was Nan Ling Ye, so don't tell him about it. An Ran said.

"Everything is according to the will of the eldest lady. ”

An Ran bowed slightly, and said, "That's nothing, Uncle Leng will go back and rest first." ”

After Leng Zhen left, An Ran sat alone in the courtyard, her heart was messy, she didn't know if everything she was doing now was right, but now she could only do this, no matter whether Nan Lingye would investigate the winning number in the future, but for now, their goals are the same, they are all for the people in the west.

Secretly sighing, An Ran's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, got up and walked back to the room.

Let's talk about the future later, let's see one step at a time.

Early the next morning, An Ran sent a message to Shangguan Jing, saying that he was willing to cooperate with the imperial court, and asked him to make an appointment to discuss cooperation with Ling Ye tonight.

In the morning, Shangguan Jing replied, Nan Lingye asked them to go to his mansion for dinner tonight, and discuss cooperation by the way, Nan Lingye meant to let Shangguan Jing and her go over together.

An Ran agreed, she and Shangguan Jing followed, and they could know how to cooperate.

In the evening, Uncle Leng did not go back to the other courtyard, but went directly to Shangguan Mansion and went over with Shangguan Jing first, and An Ran then went by himself.

This arrangement was proposed by An Ran, and in the final analysis, she was afraid that Leng Zhen would come back and go out with her, which would make people suspicious.

Shangguan Jing and Leng Zhen went to Nan Lingye's mansion first, Nan Lingye was already waiting, and when he saw them coming in, he got up and said, "The two of you are here, please take a seat, why didn't you see Brother Lin?"
