"I thought you wouldn't come." Shen Zhan suddenly spoke.

Jiang Yuan poured wine for a moment, and replied: "The vegetarian banquet that my fiancée put so much effort into organizing, how can I not come as a fiancé." ”

Shen Zhan frowned, and said coldly: "I'm not easy to mess with, if Scholar Jiang can't speak well, then don't blame me for not showing mercy." ”

Jiang Yuan chuckled lightly and was silent.

She deliberately provoked Shen Zhan, if she wanted to ask the reason, it was just to test it.

Liu Yuping, who was at the top, saw the two of them talking in a low voice, and for a while she couldn't figure out what Shen Zhan was thinking about Ye Lingwu, but judging from his current face, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he didn't want to see Jiang Yuan.

"Master Hou," Liu Yuping raised her glass, "As the head mother of the Ye family, I haven't thanked you for helping my eldest girl pay off the debt of 18,000 taels of Ziluo Buzhuang that day." This glass of wine is for you, if it weren't for your generosity that day, my eldest girl wouldn't know what to look like. ”

Ye Lingwu's face sank, and she resisted the urge to scold Liu Yuping. She obviously said that the money would be returned to Shen Zhan, but after she said a few words, everyone at the banquet still didn't know how to misunderstand.

"Is this true?" One person chimed in, "Eighteen thousand taels is not a small amount." ”

This question undoubtedly provoked the people present to examine the relationship between the two.

Ye Lingwu's expression changed greatly, and he couldn't be nervous. There was a threatening look in her eyes, and she didn't smile: "The eldest lady is drunk, and the eighteen thousand taels are the one that the Hou Ye saw that I had served by Mrs. Shen's side and lent it to the Ye family, why did it change its flavor when it came to you?" ”

Sensing everyone's gaze, Liu Yuping's face did not change, but her tone was aggrieved: "Yes, yes, what the eldest girl said, blame me for not being able to speak." ”

She looked at Jiang Yuan again and said, "Don't blame Jiang University, it's all because I'm drunk and can't speak, don't speculate, my eldest girl and Master Hou are innocent." ”

Ye Lingwu clenched the hands on his knees, his eyes turned cold, and he was about to scold her a few words, but he heard Jiang Yuan say leisurely: "Since the eldest lady is drunk, let the female envoy help you back to the house, have a good feast, don't ruin it because of unwarranted words." ”

Liu Yuping didn't expect Jiang Yuan to react like this, so she lowered her head and peeked at Wei Fei to relieve the siege.

Wei Fei glanced at her, and glanced at Mother Qiu again, Mother Qiu reacted, and immediately said: "Big lady, the slave maid just asked you to drink less wine, look at you, you can't speak when you touch the wine, and if you offend people, you don't know, the slave will help you to rest." ”

After the pair of masters and servants pretended to leave, the atmosphere in the room became even more strange, everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke first to break the silence.

It is said that it is better to believe it than not, although Liu Yuping and Ye Lingwu do not agree, but what Liu Yuping said is not completely untrustworthy, plus Wei Fei and Shen Zhan took the car to the banquet together, everyone had to sigh about the means of the eldest daughter of the Ye family.

The atmosphere is getting more and more subtle.

Ye Lingwu hesitated for a long time before making up his mind to stand up, raised his wine glass to Shen Zhan, and smiled generously: "Master Hou, thank you for being able to support you today, this glass of wine is considered to be my toast for the eldest lady, but I have to change what she said, this glass of wine toast You can see that Mrs. Shen's face is more than a good look for me, Ling Wu is grateful." ”

Shen Zhan's eyes were pale, staring at her quietly, without the slightest intention of raising the wine glass.

Ye Lingwu's smile showed a slight crack, and there was a little more pleading in his eyes.

looked at each other for a while, until everyone thought that Shen Zhan would not give face, then saw him raise his wine glass, and after replying to the words "you're welcome" without any emotional ups and downs, he drank it all directly.

Ye Lingwu finally breathed a sigh of relief and drank the wine in his hand.

The expressions of everyone in the room were different.

Some are dazed, some are abrupt, and some are confused.

Ye Huai looked around at the banquet with his eyes, and said haha: "Everyone continue to eat, continue to drink, if there is anything inconsiderate, I hope you Haihan." ”

"How come, the Ye family's wine is very good today!" Someone replied.

The banquet was noisy again.

Wei Fei's expression was uncertain, and he turned his head to look at Shen Zhan's unhappy expression, which could be seen by a fool, and then looked past him to Jiang Yuan, seeing that his face was flat from beginning to end, and his heart was congested.

Is this person serious-minded, or does he not care about the relationship between Ye Lingwu and Shen Zhan at all?

After thinking for a while, he said tentatively: "Scholar Jiang, I heard that Miss Ye will return to Beijing to marry you after dealing with the Ye family, what should happen to the Ye family's business after Miss Ye leaves?" ”

Jiang Yuan put down his chopsticks, turned his head and looked past Shen Zhan in the middle, looked at Wei Fei and said: "Everything in the Ye family is decided by Qingqing, I never ask, the eighth master has to ask Qingqing in person about this matter." ”

Wei Fei was stunned, laughed twice and stopped talking.

"Since Scholar Jiang doesn't ask anything, why do you want to go to the banquet today?" Shen Zhan said coldly.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Ziluo Buzhuang suddenly came to spread that no one attended the banquet when the Ye family was about to have a banquet, but as a result, Shen Xiaohou not only brought the eighth master to the banquet, but also attracted many big people from Yuzhou. Shen Xiaohou Ye is the stars holding the moon wherever he goes, and he is ashamed of himself, but he thinks that Shen Xiaohou Ye and Zai Xia are working together in the court, but they have never been at the same banquet, so they hurried over. ”

Shen Zhan frowned and sneered: "It is said that hearing is false, seeing is believing, this news seems to be true or false, and the people behind it have deep intentions." ”

Wei Fei on the side turned a deaf ear and pretended to be calm.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "It's quite deep, yes, Master Hou thinks I should come?" ”

Shen Zhan didn't speak, indifferently picked up the wine glass and drank it again.

It's time to come, don't stifle some rumors at this time, and wait until the rumors are flying all over the sky, that is, you can't tell it clearly, but ...... He actually hoped that these rumors would not be clear.

At the end of the feast, the silent gate of the mansion became lively, and many carriages came and went to pick up their masters.

The two-room couple had to clean up the aftermath of a big mess, drive away all the miscellaneous servants outside the palace, count the dishes and food tables, and clean up the filth left by cooking the delicacies of the mountains and seas...... After instructing one place to go to the next, the heavy responsibility of sending off the guests fell on Ye Lingwu's shoulders.

Sending people away one by one, Ye Lingwu's face and expression were stiff, and his shoulders and back were very sore.

She was about to go to the mansion, when she turned around, she bumped into a broad chest, her facial features wrinkled together in pain, and she finally looked up with her strength, and saw Shen Zhan staring at her without saying a word.

Ye Lingwu was very vigilant, and took half a step back before he was blessed, and pretended to laugh calmly: "Master Hou, why don't you walk silently." ”

Shen Zhan's lips straightened, and he said in a low tone: "I stood for a long time, but you didn't notice it." ”
