Chapter 268: The Unexpected (2)
"Smack!"
Hearing this, the cup that Liu Man'er was playing with fell to the table, but fortunately, Yan Ruifan quickly straightened the cup so that it didn't gurgle and roll to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Yan Ruifan looked at Liu Man'er with concern.
"It's fine." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "Do you know anything else?" ”
"This news has just come from the capital, and I came here to tell you." Yan Ruifan said: "At present, there is only this plan, and the holy decree has not yet come down. ”
"Then if it comes down, it's a matter of timber and boat, right?" Liu Man'er forced herself to calm down and asked, "But then King Dingbei wouldn't watch this happen, right?" ”
"I don't know about that." Yan Ruifan shook his head, feeling that Liu Man'er was too optimistic, he said: "If I am the king of Dingbei, I will definitely support this matter, after all, Ye Yuan marries the princess, so why not worry about Jinshang, but in fact, the king of Dingbei is not worried that Ye Yuan will betray him at all." ”
"Because of our existence, right?" Liu Man'er smiled suddenly, and everything was figured out.
No wonder she seems to be doing things so smoothly during this time, whether it is business or other very smooth, at first she thought it was because she had been doing it for a long time and had a certain foundation, but now it seems that someone may be giving the green light behind.
Seeing Liu Man'er's thoughtful appearance, Yan Ruifan nodded and said, "You understand now?" ”
"Well, but I never felt like someone was watching over us, so why?"
"He doesn't have to do that right now." Yan Ruifan replied: "After all, King Dingbei still relies on Ye Yuan very much, and he doesn't want to make Ye Yuan feel uncomfortable in his heart, so he naturally has to show 100% trust in him." ”
"But as soon as I thought that there might be people around me to supervise, I panicked." She was like a free bird, easy and happy, but when she knew that someone was staring at her from afar with a shotgun, she could no longer relax.
"Don't worry, it's not as scary as you think, and they didn't send anyone to keep an eye on your house, just make sure that your family is here, which can be regarded as a disguised protection." Yan Ruifan comforted.
But it's okay if he doesn't say this, when he says this, Liu Man'er feels even more terrifying, she said: "Then what is this Dingbei King, will he use us to blackmail Ye Yuan?" ”
"I don't know about this, maybe I had, maybe I didn't." Yan Ruifan said softly.
After all, he is a businessman, and his mind is more focused on business wars, and there are people in the family who are in charge of political matters, if it weren't for Liu Man'er, he wouldn't want to know about these at all.
"I suddenly learned about this today, and I don't want to live in the county town anymore." Liu Man'er sighed and said, "I don't want to be a burden to him invisibly, I'm okay, but my mother is so innocent." ”
"Don't say it so scary." When Yan Ruifan heard her say this, he knew that she should be stunned, he only said: "Ye Yuan is now on the side of King Dingbei, since this is the case, King Dingbei will naturally not do anything unfavorable to you, you can rest assured, I think you can take this opportunity to develop your own business." ”
"Heh......" Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "How can I be in the mood to think about this, I am now full of Dingbei Wang's servant threatening Ye Yuan with us, and I just let him marry that princess!" I'm going to have to hide my mother's kiss from them so that he really doesn't have to worry about anything. ”
"You're going to hide your aunts?" Hearing this, Yan Ruifan was a little surprised.
"Yes, it's up to you." Liu Man'er smiled slightly and said, "You have a lot of places to go on weekdays, this time, I asked them to go out for a walk with your caravan, just as a trip." ”
"What you say doesn't have to happen, so why are you so worried?" Yan Ruifan asked puzzled.
"Maybe I don't like being controlled." Liu Man'er said: "People say that a companion is like a tiger, although he is a follower of Ye Yuan, then this King of Dingbei will naturally not be too bad, but how can a person who wants to seek power and usurp the throne be a good person?" I can't put my family's life in the hands of someone else, and I don't want to be someone else's pawn. ”
"Seeking power and usurping the throne?" Yan Ruifan chewed Liu Man'er's words.
"I guess." Liu Man'er said: "Otherwise, Ye Yuan must know that he has this idea, so he will make up an identity for himself again." ”
"There are some things that you can't say." Yan Ruifan just wanted to remind Liu Man'er to be cautious, but suddenly he froze, only feeling that Fu Zhi's soul was general, everything was clear, he had been suspicious before, but now, he was sure.
"Actually, you already knew that King Dingbei had objections, but you didn't trust me? That's why you didn't tell me this? Yan Ruifan looked at Liu Man'er inquiringly, thinking that she should have known the truth a long time ago, and when he thought about it, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"How can you say that, apart from Ye Yuan, you are the person I trust the most." Liu Man'er looked at him innocently.
Yan Ruifan's eyes returned to their normal color, and said: "It's me Meng Lang, we are just a business partner, you told me so much today, you already have a lot of respect for me." ”
"Hey......" Hearing Yan Ruifan say this, Liu Man'er felt a little guilty in her heart, and wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to explain, so she only said: "In fact, many things, people who don't know will be more relaxed, now that you already know, then I will entrust my mother and them to you." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll go and report it today?" Yan Ruifan sneered.
"Don't be afraid." Liu Man'er shook her head, and suddenly her voice took on two points of ridicule, and said, "Let me tell you a little secret, my sister-in-law likes you." ”
"Mrs. Ye, you can't talk nonsense." Yan Ruifan had two unnatural points on his face, and he sat upright.
Liu Man'er felt that his temperament seemed to have changed all of a sudden, she just reminded him, there was no malice, and said: "I just said casually, you can help me take good care of her when the time comes." ”
"I haven't agreed yet." Yan Ruifan snorted coldly.
"Don't be duplicitous, you came to tell me this today, naturally you want to help me." Liu Man'er smiled slyly and said: "My family Ye Feng has long wanted to travel, and when the time comes, you can take him around, my favorite residence is in Nanzhao, just so you can help me take them there to settle first, and I will go to them when the time comes." ”
"You seem to be eating me when you say this, and you have even thought about it?" Yan Ruifan couldn't help but glance at Liu Man'er inquiringly, feeling that she should have been premeditated.
"Don't get me wrong, I really didn't think about this before." Liu Man'er shook her head and said: "It's just that I heard you talk about Nanzhao last time, and I have always longed for it, although this time it is a refugee, but why not choose a better place to live, the people of Nanzhao are happy, the scenery is beautiful, and it has always been a good place to live in seclusion." ”
"You're thinking beautifully." Yan Ruifan hooked his lips and smiled, he couldn't see his joy and anger, but he actually admired Liu Man'er's calmness in his heart, as if no matter what the situation was, she could always live her life like a flower.
At this time, listening to her depict the grand scenery of Nanzhao and all the beautiful future, he couldn't help but want to unload the burden on his body and live such a leisurely life, but in fact, this is just a dream, in fact, neither of them can live.
"There are several cities separated from Nanzhao here, although you are wishful thinking, but have they ever been willing?" Yan Ruifan thought about the reality, and had to pour a basin of cold water on Liu Man'er, and said: "After all, in my opinion, aunt, she must pay attention to falling leaves and returning to her roots, she must like to be in the local area and don't want to run around." ”
"You don't know that." Liu Man'er was confident and said: "My mother is different from others, she used to be here because of hardship, what haven't you experienced?" I'm sure if I just tell her well, she'll say yes. ”
"Heh, it's a good way to deceive her." Yan Ruifan was still a little angry at Liu Man'er's previous concealment, so he spoke with a hint of mockery.
Liu Man'er didn't care, she just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Whatever you say, I didn't deceive her anyway, what's more, sometimes white lies can also bloom beautiful flowers." ”
"Then according to what you say, Ye Yuan's matter, I should also hide it from you, anyway, it's a white lie." Yan Ruifan's eyes once again showed two hints of mockery.
"I'm different, whatever you say, I can bear it." Liu Man'er explained to Yan Ruifan seriously: "But my mother, my body is already in deficit, I finally raised her well, and told her happy things every day, so that she could forget her troubles, before the situation was clear, if you talk nonsense in front of her, don't blame me...... You're welcome! ”
The last few words, Liu Man'er said almost word by word, gritting her teeth, Yan Ruifan didn't feel the lethality in it at all, just smiled: "How will you be polite to me?" Your family will be in my hands when the time comes. ”
"Whew...... yes, I can't help you, so I'll leave it to you, I'm sure you'll be able to keep your mouth shut. Liu Man'er looked at him.
"You've said that, what else can I do?" Yan Ruifan had two expressions of helplessness on his face, and he could only accept it.
The two discussed some more details, and finally Yan Ruifan decided to let the caravan go first, while he stayed in Fengyang, waited for Liu Man'er to deal with the matter here, and then left with Fang and the others.
After Yan Ruifan left, Liu Man'er began to have a headache, how should she tell the Fang family? Although she swore in front of Yan Ruifan and was confident, she really wanted to convince the Fang clan to think of a reason, after all, the Fang clan had just become familiar with this county town, and as a result, she asked her to move......
