"What did you say?"

Yan Ran's heart was shocked, and her brows frowned.

She once humiliated Xiao Zun fiercely, and with Xiao Zun's retributive temperament, she will definitely not give up.

But she never thought that Xiao Zun's way of revenge was to ask to marry her, and she did not hesitate to ask the saint for marriage.

You must know that if the royal gift is married, Yan Ran's status in her husband's family will be very different.

In the future, if Xiao Zun dares to treat Yan Ran harshly, he will lose the face of the saint.

Yan Ran could go directly to the palace to complain, which was not beneficial to Xiao Zun, who wanted revenge.

Yan Ran was puzzled, and looked at Su Yu suspiciously: "Why did you tell me about this?" ”

Su Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he only said, "No, why." ”

Su Yu said that, and left in a hurry.

Of course, Yan Ran didn't think that Su Yu was just kindly reminding her, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally came to the conclusion that he was uneasy and kind.

Qingxuan asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Yan Ran sneered: "Su Yu has always doubted my relationship with my cousin, and he specially told me the news that Xiao Zun intends to marry, he should want to see my powerless and dying jokes!" ”

Qingxuan said anxiously: "Girl, then you have to hurry up and think about getting the master to agree to your marriage with Wen Gongzi." Otherwise, when the second prince asks the saint for marriage, there will be no room for turnaround! ”

Yan Ran said firmly: "No, I can't be engaged to my cousin at this time." ”

Qingxuan was even more puzzled: "Why?" ”

Yan Ran said calmly: "Xiao Zun has already moved his mind to accept me as a side concubine, if I am engaged to my cousin at this time, he will definitely think that my cousin is robbing him of people." After all, Xiao Zun is a prince and holds power, and my cousin and I have no power, so we have no ability to compete with him for the time being. If he really provokes him, he will give up his reputation and face, and it will only be a matter of moving his fingers to deal with us. ”

When Qingxuan heard this, she was even more worried: "Girl, what should we do now, we can't sit still, right?" ”

Yan Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, her eyes were cold, and she made up her mind: "Of course I won't sit still, but I won't involve my cousin." This marriage can only be postponed. ”

Yan Ran was not worried about this, with her understanding of Master Yan, he was afraid that he would not agree to Wen Rong'an's proposal.

As soon as Yan Ran returned home, she was called over by Master Yan.

Old Man Yan was happy and looked in a good mood.

He asked, "How is the condition of the little prince?" ”

Yan Ran replied: "It's just a false alarm, and it's not a big deal." ”

Master Yan nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, although you are extremely talented in medical skills, you are self-taught, and you are not as good as an experienced doctor." Prince Rui trusts you and asks you to diagnose the little prince, which is a good thing, but at the same time, there are huge risks lurking. If you are not careful, this relationship will turn into a grudge, and you must be cautious. ”

Yan Ran responded: "My daughter can save it." ”

Old Man Yan changed his words and said, "Ran'er, I asked you about the eldest prince of the Dingguo Mansion before. I see that you have a good impression of him, and now that he has come to the door to propose marriage, it can be seen that the two of you are very fateful, and you will surely live a happy life when you become husband and wife in the future. ”

Yan Ran suddenly chuckled in her heart, and her face stiffened slightly.

She froze down, barely squeezed out a smile, and asked, "Dad, the Wen family's eldest cousin's conduct should be speechless." But he has no father or mother, and he is not liked by the eldest princess of Minyang. Yao'er is now in the Dingguo Mansion, so we should consider the eldest princess's intentions. If you marry him again, I'm afraid you will offend the eldest princess, won't the gains outweigh the losses? ”

Master Yan was unusual, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, don't bully young people into poverty." I think back then, I also came to Anyang alone without any background, and now I am not rising step by step, and my official fortune is prosperous. He is the son of the general of Dingguo, with good talent and the help of nobles, he will shine in the future and have a bright future. As for the eldest princess, she just doesn't like it, and she won't do anything to the eldest son of the Dingguo Mansion. Ran'er, don't worry, the marriage that your father chose for you must be excellent, and he will never wronged you......"

Master Yan thought that Yan Ran was unwilling to marry Wen Rong'an, so he tried hard to persuade him.

Yan Ran didn't listen to anything, only full of doubts.

What did Wen Rong'an do to be able to change the mind of Master Yan, who was so ambitious that Zeng Xiao wanted to take the next position?

Yan Ran couldn't figure out this question anyway, so she could only ask Wen Rong'an.

Wen Rongan avoided answering, and asked with a relaxed and happy smile: "Ranran, your father has agreed to our marriage, are you happy?" ”

Yan Ran's face was worried, and she was embarrassed: "Cousin, I'm very happy, but we can't get engaged yet." ”

Wen Rong'an's heart tightened, the hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist, and he grabbed his palm fiercely, but his face was not shocked, only his voice trembled slightly imperceptibly: "You, but you regretted it?" ”

Yan Ran hurriedly shook her head and explained, "No, it's just that something happened." ”

Yan Ran told Wen Rongan about Xiao Zun's desire to marry the saint.

Wen Rong'an saw that it was not Yan Ran's change of mind, but because of Xiao Zun, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her: "Let's settle the marriage as soon as possible, Xiao Zun's calculation will not be successful." ”

Yan Ran sighed slightly, shook her head and said, "I'm not worried about Xiao Zun's marriage proposal, but I'm worried that he will be unfavorable to you if he knows that after we get married." ”

Wen Rong's head warmed up, and he said softly: "Ranran, you don't need to worry, I will solve it." ”

Yan Ran asked, "How do you solve it?" ”

Wen Rong paused and said, "Fortunately, I secretly took refuge with the prince a long time ago, so it is nothing to tear my face with Xiao Zun." ”

Yan Ran continued to ask sharply, "Will the prince definitely protect you?" ”

Wen Rong'an paused, did not answer immediately, and was obviously uncertain.

Yan Ran grabbed Wen Rong'an's hand and earnestly analyzed the pros and cons with him: "Cousin, there are very few people available around Xiao Zun, so he relies on you very much. But the prince is different, he only looks at you differently because you have gained Xiao Zun's trust and can be used by him. When the great cause is accomplished in the future, I am sure that he will reward you for his meritorious deeds. But before that, once the fact that you are the secret stake he placed next to Xiao Zun is exposed, it will become the evidence that Xiao Zun attacked him in front of the saint. At that time, I'm afraid that before Xiao Zun makes a move, the prince will push you out first to take the blame. ”

Wen Rong'an knew that Yan Ran's thoughts and worries were all for him, so he was not in a hurry, and patiently persuaded her: "Ranran, you believe me, I will do what I promised you." I promised you that you would marry you, so there is a way to get your father to agree to our marriage; I promised you that you would solve Xiao Zun's threat to me, and there must be a way to solve it. ”

Wen Rongan only said that it could be solved, but he couldn't say how to solve it.

Yan Ran felt that Wen Rongan was just perfunctory to her.

He may have been ready to fight against the odds, but Yan Ran would never allow him to be hurt in the slightest.

Yan Ran no longer asked about this matter, but instead asked, "Then tell me, how did you make my father change his mind?" He doesn't even look down on the position of the second princess, how can he agree to marry me to you? ”

Wen Rongan looked at Yan Ran helplessly, but her tone was very tight: "I naturally have my means, you don't have to know, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." ”

Yan Ran is a reborn person, she knows the trajectory of certain things, understands the behavior patterns of some people, she has revenge to avenge and people to protect.

She believes that it is her responsibility and the need to control the direction of everything in order to ensure that her goals are achieved.

So she wanted to know how Wen Rongan persuaded Master Yan to find a way to postpone the marriage and avoid this crisis.

Unexpectedly, as smart as Wen Rong'an, he saw through her careful thinking at a glance.

Wen Rongan looked at Yan Ran, and said seriously and firmly: "Ranran, as you said, I can only marry you." So, no matter if you move forward or backward, I won't let go. ”

Yan Ran was fierce at the beginning, and broke into Wen Rong'an's heart with lightning speed.

Wen Rongan also doubted, retreated, and then slowly believed, accepted, and gave a sincere heart.

He is not an emotional person, but once he starts, he never stops easily.

Yan Ran met Wen Rong'an's affectionate and resolute gaze, and didn't say anything in the end.

After Yan Ran returned home, he called Xuanqing.

Yan Ran asked, "I asked you to stare at the master, but what did you find?" ”

Xuan Qing replied: "The master is the same as in the past, and he has been staying in the study since he returned home. Unlike usual, in recent days, the doors and windows of the study have been closed, and there are two more guards outside. ”

Yan Ran's eyes were calm, her fingers tapped on the tabletop, and analyzed: "In other words, what secrets are hidden in the study, maybe it has something to do with my cousin." ”

Yan Ran thought about it, and then instructed Xuan Qing: "You can find a way to match the door lock of the study with the same appearance." ”

Qingxuan asked, "Girl, do you want to find a chance to go to the study to find out?" It should be equipped with a key, but how can it be equipped with a lock? ”

Yan Ran said: "Since my father has hidden the secret in the study, the key should not be left with him, and it is inconvenient to obtain it." ”

Xuan Qing nodded and said: "The girl is really clever, the master did bring the key to the study with him, and he used to put it with the housekeeper." ”

Qingxuan suddenly realized: "Oh, the slave understands! At that time, we will change the lock first, and when the old man locks the door with the changed lock, we can use the key to open the door. After that, change the lock back, and the next day the master can still open the door as usual, and he won't notice anything wrong! ”

Xuan Qing is a man of action, and he quickly arranged things properly.

But Master Yan strengthened the guards in the front yard, and Yan Ran could only use drugs to stun those people first, and sneak into the study at night to investigate.

Yan Ran has been to Master Yan's study many times, and she is very familiar with the displays and furnishings in the house.

She looked around and saw that everything was as usual, even the books were according to Master Yan's habits, and they were still put back in their places every time they finished reading.

Suddenly, a painting hanging on the wall attracted Yan Ran's attention.

She remembered that there was another painting hanging here, but she looked at it for a long time, and she didn't see any mystery in this painting.

A wild cat meow from outside the window startled Qingxuan.

She saw Yan Ran staring at the painting, and directly reached out to pull the painting scroll: "Girl, why don't we take this painting back to see, and the slave will send it back before dawn tomorrow!" ”

Yan Ran held down Qingxuan's hand and turned the painting sideways.

It turned out that the painting was just a landscape painting when viewed from the front, but when viewed sideways, it looked like a map.

Yan Ran suddenly thought of something, stretched out her hand and slowly groped along the painting axis, touched a dark grid, pressed it hard, and popped out a key.

Yan Ran saw the lines on the key clearly by the candlelight, and her face suddenly changed greatly.
