Chapter 257: Keeping Measure

"Ah Xuan, Mrs. Jiang and her husband are very affectionate!" As soon as Zhou Xianfeng's words fell, Wei Chengxuan's face changed instantly.

"I know!" In fact, from the time he met Xue Yao, he knew that she was already married.

"Now that you know everything, it's time to withdraw in time and stop meeting with her!" Zhou Xianfeng didn't want his friends to hurt himself for emotional things.

"I'll be careful!" Wei Chengxuan couldn't control his heart at all.

He knew he shouldn't go, but he couldn't help but make sure she was okay.

Such complex emotions, Wei Chengxuan has never had before, he is the son of the Hou Mansion, and he will inherit the title in the future.

How many women in the capital flock to him and want to marry him.

However, Wei Chengxuan was dismissive of them.

As a result, he didn't expect that he would be moved by a married woman, but fortunately, he found out in time, and now he is restrained.

"Ah Xuan, I can't help you make a choice, but I hope you can adjust yourself as soon as possible and find a woman to marry!" Zhou Xianfeng reminded.

"Thank you!" Wei Chengxuan knew that he would help him keep this secret.

"We are friends!" Zhou Xianfeng finished speaking and left.

When Wei Chengxuan thought of Xue Yao, he felt like a knife.

If he could start all over again, he would never get close to Xue Yao.

However, now that everything has happened, he can only face his feelings, after all, escaping cannot solve everything.

After thinking about it for a while, he still went to Xue Yao's house with a gift.

The matter of Xue Yao falling into the water quickly spread through everyone's mouths, and people who had business dealings with them came to visit one after another.

At this time, Xue Yao didn't show up all the time, so she had to change her clothes and come out to greet the guests.

Xue Yao told them that she was fine, there was no need to care, and everyone saw that she really didn't look like she was too frightened, so they put down the gift and left.

After a while, when Wei Chengxuan came to the door, Jiang Zhan was also there.

The first few times he came to look for Xue Yao, he happened to go out.

Jiang Zhan learned from the mouth of his subordinates that there was a man who often came to Xue Yao, and he was already unhappy in his heart.

However, after he heard the identity of the other party, he could only suppress the displeasure in his heart.

He always thought that Wei Chengxuan really regarded Xue Yao as a friend, but he was a person with a strong desire for exclusivity.

Even if the other party didn't have the slightest thought about Xue Yao, he still didn't want them to get too close.

Today, he happened to meet Wei Chengxuan, and he wanted to meet this person......

When Wei Chengxuan came in, he looked at Jiang Zhan who was standing beside Xue Yao.

Both of them are very good-looking, and they look extremely matched.

At this moment, Wei Chengxuan tasted heartache.

Although he had known for a long time that the other party had a husband, when he came to find Xue Yao before, Jiang Zhan had never been by her side.

He thought that the relationship between the husband and wife was very poor, so he unconsciously wanted to care more about her.

As a result, he unconsciously had feelings for Xue Yao that surpassed those of his friends.

"Mrs. Jiang, I heard that you accidentally fell into the water today, so I came here to visit!" Wei Chengxuan endured the bitterness in his heart and directly explained his intention.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry to let you go!" Xue Yao was extremely polite to him.

"Thank you Wei Gongzi for worrying about her insiders, she has me to take care of her, and she has not been damaged at all!" Jiang Zhan suddenly said loudly.

It was the same man, how could he not see that Wei Chengxuan's eyes were a little unusual when he looked at Xue Yao.

Xue Yao is his wife, no matter what kind of thoughts Wei Chengxuan has for her, Jiang Zhan will not give him a chance to get close to his wife.

"I forgot, Jiang Gongzi also went to the lake with him today!" A sneer crossed Wei Chengxuan's eyes.

Didn't he keep saying that he wanted to protect his wife, but he didn't let her fall into the water.

Wei Chengxuan felt that he was not capable of taking care of Xue Yao at all.

Jiang Zhan understood his eyes, but he was not angry.

The truth of the matter is only known to their husband and wife, this is their secret, as long as Xue Yao always trusts him, as for what others think, Jiang Zhan really doesn't care at all.

The days are lived by their husband and wife, and the feelings of others are not important at all.

In order to let Wei Chengxuan retreat, Jiang Zhan deliberately showed affection to Xue Yao in front of him.

He and Xue Yao are both introverted people, except in front of Murong Shi, they will deliberately restrain themselves.

After all, this is an ancient time when the folk customs were conservative, and even if it was a husband and wife, they couldn't be too close, otherwise they would be abused and blamed.

Xue Yao is the most dissatisfied with this, as long as modern men and women are interested in each other, they can openly enter and exit each other......

After she noticed Jiang Zhan's actions, she was very surprised.

After all, they hadn't done this before, but since Jiang Zhan wanted to do it, how could she not cooperate.

At this time, Xue Yao didn't realize at all that Wei Chengxuan's attitude towards her had already surpassed the category of ordinary friends.

Wei Chengxuan cared about her very much, and even privately helped her suppress those rumors.

It's a pity that Xue Yao doesn't know about these at all.

She has always regarded Wei Chengxuan as a friend, and even an ordinary friend who is not very familiar with her......

Xue Yao felt that she was an ordinary woman, not to the point of a heartthrob at all, and Jiang Zhan's worries were a little redundant.

After Wei Chengxuan was sure that she was fine, he quickly took his leave.

When he looked at Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao's intimate appearance, his heart was like a needle prick.

So he hurried away, for he had decided to put it down before he came.

Xue Yao has a husband who loves her very much, and she is sincerely happy for her.

They had known each other too late, and he had no chance from the start.

What's more, Wei Chengxuan will not let himself become a despicable villain, because what Jiang Zhan can give her, he may not be able to give.

He is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, and Wei Chengxuan never cared about his identity before, and he didn't care about making friends.

However, after he was tempted, he realized that his origin would also become a kind of fetters.

If Jiang Zhan treats Xue Yao badly, he may still be able to use his power to get her out of Jiang Zhan, but what he is worried about will not appear at all.

The tenderness and happiness in Xue Yao's eyes couldn't be hidden at all......

The next day, Jiang Zhan found out that the young men who had to force Xue Yao to swim in the lake were actually instructed by others.

They had no enmity with Xue Yao, but they refused to let her go yesterday, and it was clear that there was a ghost.

As he expected, Ma Gongzi and others wanted Xue Yao to go to the lake, just to deliberately calculate her and leave her with nothing.

Ma Gongzi and they are not rigorous in their work, so Jiang Zhan quickly found out the master behind them.

"Who ordered this?" Xue Yao saw that his face was solemn, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The Seven Princes!" Jiang Zhan confided in the mastermind behind the scenes with a cold face.

"It's him!" This matter was completely unexpected by Xue Yao.

Xue Yao really didn't expect that the Seventh Prince would get involved in this matter.

"Recently, you and Murong have gotten a little close to Wei Chengxuan, I guess the Seventh Prince should be afraid that we will win over Wei Chengxuan to deal with him together!" Although he found out that Xue Yao's fall into the water was led by the Seventh Prince.

However, the reason why he did this was guessed by Jiang Zhan.

He has no evidence, everything is only speculation.

"This Seventh Prince really likes to be suspicious, we are just general friends with Wei Chengxuan, how could he take refuge with us and join the crown prince?" Xue Yao said sarcastically.

Wei Chengxuan was born in the Hou Mansion, and his identity and power are very top-notch among the younger generation in the capital.

If he leaned towards the crown prince, the chances of the seventh prince winning would be even smaller, no wonder he would be so cautious.

His approach was disgusting, though.

"The Seven Princes are now some soldiers!" Jiang Zhan sighed.

"Although he calculated us, he probably didn't expect that the final result would be a failure!" Xue Yao hooked her lips and smiled.

He thought that he would show his most terrifying side in front of everyone to hit her and Jiang Zhan.

Now, they are all considered to be the prince's people, and if something happens to her, the prince's reputation will also be affected.

The Seventh Prince's move kills two birds with one stone, and he plays it well, but unfortunately he didn't expect that he had a system.

She used the system to avoid this calculation, making the Seven Princes waste a calculation......

After all, she was rescued from the water in front of everyone, and there was no abnormality on her face, and the previous rumors were equivalent to self-defeating.

The Seven Princes stealing chickens and rice are not successful, and they should be losing their temper in the mansion at this moment!

Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao looked at each other and smiled, and there was a cold glint in each other's eyes.

A few days later, the prince suddenly came.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Zhan welcomed the person in.

"The time for martial arts is coming soon, you should prepare for it, and you must not make mistakes when the time comes!" The prince admonished.

Today, he is here specifically for the matter of martial arts.

This matter is related to whether Jiang Zhan can smoothly enter the court as an official, so the prince attaches great importance to it.

He felt that if Jiang Zhan could enter the imperial court, he would definitely become his right-hand man in a very short period of time.

"Thank you Your Highness for reminding me, the grass people will definitely be more careful!" In fact, Jiang Zhan was also a little worried in his heart.

However, he was not afraid that he would not be able to pass the martial arts examination, but that he was worried that someone would make a stumbling block.

Now, the people who don't want him to enter the imperial court, in addition to his biological father Jiang Yuchen, there are also the Seven Princes.

They have been secretly in contact for a long time, so they have always wanted to prevent themselves from gaining any power.

At present, he has the support of the crown prince, and if he enters the court as an official, they will be colleagues in the future.

Although it was impossible for his official position to immediately surpass Jiang Yuchen, he felt a great threat, so he wanted to join others to suppress Jiang Zhan.

The prince noticed that they were moving, but he didn't know what they were going to do, so he could only come to remind Jiang Zhan.

As a prince, it is not good for him to interfere in martial arts, otherwise he will leave people with evidence that threatens him.

Therefore, everything depends on Jiang Zhan's ability, and of course, the prince will also watch from the side, so as not to let people do anything in secret, which affects the fairness of martial arts.

Wuju is to select talents for the imperial court, so the imperial court attaches great importance to it.

However, it is inevitable that some people will want to sneak through the back door and sneak into the court as officials.

Martial arts is not like the imperial examination, you must be brilliant in literature in order to have the opportunity to have high school.

Most of the people who come to take the martial arts test are men who have empty martial arts and don't have much ink in their stomachs!

The imperial court has no restrictions on their knowledge, as long as people with strong martial arts can participate in martial arts!
