Chapter 18: The Quest for the Truth

has already made up his mind to compete with Chang Ruyi, Yan Juan naturally will not easily let go of Cheng Huan's breakthrough point.

"Is the girl planning to let the master bring up the family affair between the two families again?"

Yuqi had never seen Yan Xuan's rejection of Cheng Huan in person, so he naturally remembered the matter of snatching love with a horizontal knife.

It's really that the girl's previous words were too deceptive.

Anyone who heard it thought that she was going to compete with the Chang family girl.

This dispute is naturally the belonging of the young master of the Cheng family!

Yan Wan was surprised: "Why do you think like this, it was not easy to return that headless family affair, how could I ask for it again!" ”

She thought that her attitude in the past had already shown her ambition to accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the person who misunderstood her first would actually be the confidant beside her.

"Even Yuqi, you think of me like this, it can be seen that no one believes that I don't want to marry!" Yan Juan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Guess what the past is from now on, and let's see the future!" ”

After a moment of trance in her heart, Yan Juan mentioned other things.

"By the way, Yuqi, do you know how far the rumors about me have spread in the city now?"

Yuqi paused.

I don't know if I should tell the truth.

Earlier, in the rumors, their girls were just ordinary people who hated the poor and loved the rich, and when the rumors spread that the young master of the Cheng family left Jinguan City, it was almost over.

After a few tosses, today's rumors have involved the young master of the Xie family.

There are always some people who only know the things that are half clawed, but they think that they know the great secret, and they don't ask for anything, so they make it up as they please, and tell the lies more beautifully than the truth.

"I know what those people out there say must not be good, but it doesn't hurt you to say it."

Yan Juan didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, after all, she couldn't imagine that the rumors could also involve Xie Chen.

"They said that you made a private agreement with Young Master Xie early in the morning, and they also said that the reason why you agreed to withdraw from your family was ...... It's because ...... Because you slipped a tire, no, it means that you hurt your body, and that's why you ......"

Even if the voice behind Yuqi is getting lower and lower, what should be heard, Yan Juan can hear it clearly.

She was never as angry as Yuqi imagined, and even her mood was unexpectedly stable.

Yuqi overturned the previous conclusion in his heart, and then he heard the sound of the cloth tearing, and looked at it, the edging of the cuff on the girl's right side was already crumbling, and it was barely connected to the original cuff.

"Yuqi, you pick a young guy in the mansion and tell him to go to the alley behind Drunken Fugui to find a lame young beggar. Zhong Ning was very famous on that street, as long as it was something that happened in Jinguan City, there was nothing he didn't know. You ask him who started the rumors! ”

If it weren't for the current incident, Yan Juan might not have mentioned that she still knew a character like Zhong Ning.

She took out a silver ring from the cassette on the dresser.

The ring looked half jet black, apparently old from many years ago.

"When I ask Zhong Ning for news, he is always half-truthful and half-false, and he has to be carefully debated by others."

Yan Juan handed the ring to Yuqi: "You let him give this, he owes Xie Chen, and this is the evidence." ”

With the credentials, Zhong Ning's news is naturally all true.

She actually has some friendship with Zhong Ning, otherwise Zhong Ning would not have let Xie Chen transfer the ring to her.

However, Zhong Ning may be because he knows too many secrets, and when he looks at others, he doesn't show superiority, but the kind of eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts are always not very liked.

When he looked at Yan Juan, he was fine.

Except for the occasional unconcealed pity, there was no other inappropriate behavior.

It's just that Yan Wan is the strongest in front of people close to her.

She would rather Zhong Ning see her as an ordinary person than the other party's pity.

In this way, it is natural that you can not meet without meeting.

Yuqi was about to take the ring, her hand was already halfway out, but Yan Juan changed her mind.

sighed: "Forget it." ”

Yuqi was full of doubts: "Isn't the girl going to find out about the rumors?" ”

Yan Wan shook her head: "I mean, I'll go find Zhong Ning in person!" ”

"Earlier, he promised me and Xie Chen that if we needed help, we would just go to him."

"But the girl never mentioned this man before!"

Yu Nong subconsciously replied, and suddenly understood what the girl meant.

Friendship is such a thing, it is you who come and go, so that it can last for a long time.

People like Yu Nong and Yu Qi who have always been waiting by Yan Juan's side have never heard of Zhong Ning's name, which shows how precarious the friendship between Yan Wan and Zhong Ning is.

Early the next morning.

Yan Wan took the two maids and left the house through the back door.

The winter in Jinguancheng comes later than elsewhere, and the osmanthus trees on the side of the road are still hanging with stamens, and the slight fragrance is most easily ignored under the cover of the rain curtain.

Dense rain rustled on the oil-paper umbrellas.

Yu Qi tilted the oil-paper umbrella in his hand a lot in the direction of Yan Xuan, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, the rain has been falling all the time now, will that Young Master Zhongning still stay in the alley?" ”

The alley behind Zuifugui is so narrow and small that there is not even a place to hide from the rain.

Yan Juan smiled: "Zhong Ning doesn't like others to call him young master, he said that he was sarcastic about him, when I see him later, don't call him like that again." ”

As for Yuqi's question, she didn't want to answer it directly.

When he arrived at the place and saw people, Yuqi's question was naturally solved.

Drunken Fugui is the largest restaurant in Jinguan City today, and it is early in the morning, and there are already many people in the lobby of the restaurant.

Of course, there are not many people who really come to drink.

Most people are still for the storyteller in the lobby.

In the past, Yan Juan's gate was not out, and the second door was not out, so naturally he had not heard the stories told by these storytellers, but Xie Chen and Zhong Ning had copied these stories into a script and sent them to Yan Juan.

However, she didn't read a single one.

Passing by the door of the drunken Fugui, you can see a small dark alley around the corner.

As far as the eye can see, there are only small alleys full of darkness.

A few days ago, the weather in Jinguan City was always sunny, and the rain only fell early this morning, but somehow there was already a large pool of gray-black water at the alley in front of them.

Half is sewage, half is indescribable filth.

Seeing that Yan Wan picked up the hem of her skirt and was about to wade through the stagnant water and walk deeper into the alley, the little beggar on the side suddenly came up.

"Miss Yan, stop it, don't go inside, our eldest brother is waiting for you in a drunken way!"

The little beggar had dust on his face, and his clothes were patched, like rats scurrying out of a stinking gutter.

Both Yu Nong and Yu Qi were taken aback by him.

The two raised their hands and wanted to say something, but because Yan Wan was present, they took the words back.

Yan Xuan's gaze fell on the little beggar's thin clothes, and she frowned slightly.

The silver ring in the palm of her hand had brought her body temperature, but the warmth had not reached the bottom of her heart.

She paused, took out two silver melon seeds from her purse, and handed them to the little beggar.

"You take it to the Xie family's pawnshop and replace it with a copper plate, add a thick coat to yourself, although the winter in Jinguancheng is not cold, but you can't stand such a little clothes."

The little beggar looked at the silver melon seeds in his palm blankly, and when he looked up again, Yan Juan and the others had already returned drunk.

He scratched his messy hair and pulled his collar again, thinking that his clothes might not have caused Yan Wan to misunderstand.

But before he came, he was moving bricks to make a kitchen, and he should have worn some tattered clothes!

This shouldn't be a big deal, right?

The little beggar put the silver melon seeds into his arms, and when Miss Yan came out, he would return the silver melon seeds to her.

It's not a big deal.
