Chapter 799 I Won’t Save You This Time (42)
The capital city is full of crises and undercurrents, and various forces are competing secretly.
The royal family was unwilling to compromise with Liang Song, and even more so, they did not want to let their captured sons and daughters die.
The aristocratic families are deeply rooted and unwilling to coexist peacefully with the new nobles supported by Liang Songxin.
This was also the beginning of the troubled times.
However, the Chen family, far away in Yucheng, welcomed a rare happy event.
Chen Ang, the young master of the Chen family, who had been paying the "single tax" for some time, finally set a date for his wedding.
As soon as the news came out, everyone in the city was talking about it.
Although Chen Ang is the eldest son of the Chen family, has outstanding abilities and a wealthy family, he has not married yet because of his cold temperament and his aversion to women.
People in the city even speculated: Although the young master of the Chen family is good in every way, he might like men.
So it was really surprising when this cold-faced young master was going to marry a lady named Yan from the capital.
Madam Yan, Yan Caiyue, is not only beautiful, but also kind.
When she first arrived in Yucheng, she used her unique vision to buy several shops in excellent locations, and the monthly rent was a large sum of money.
Some people in the city even asserted: "A good mistress can bring prosperity to three generations! Although the Chen family is rich, it always feels that it lacks some foundation. When Madam Yan takes over the household affairs of the mansion, the Chen family will definitely move to a higher level!"
In the teahouse, several loud guests were discussing the marriage with great interest.
"After all, she is a girl from the capital. Although she is over 18 years old, she is still very popular!" someone exclaimed in amazement.
"You can't say that. Miss Yan is more than just good-looking. Her craftsmanship can make a lot of money!" another person retorted.
"She wasn't poor to begin with! When she first arrived in Yucheng, all the shops she bought were located in the most prosperous locations. She has a very good eye!" someone else agreed.
"That's right! The young master of the Chen family married her, which was like adding wings to a tiger! The future of the Chen family will probably be even more prosperous!"
In a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, Yan Caiyue stood quietly by the terrace, listening to the discussions coming from downstairs.
She was wearing a cloak embroidered with dark patterns, and her eyes did not have the joy of an ordinary woman about to get married, but rather a hint of alienation.
The maid Xiaoyuan was sorting out the things she had just bought. When she looked up and saw her master standing in the wind, she couldn't help but frown.
"My wife, you have just recovered from the cold you caught some time ago. You were going to go home after buying things, but you insisted on coming to the teahouse to sit down. Before you came, you agreed to drink some hot tea and not be exposed to the wind." Xiao Yuan's tone was a little worried, and she quickly walked to Yan Caiyue and persuaded her softly.
Upon hearing this, Yan Caiyue first gathered her cloak, then turned her head and glanced at Xiaoyuan with a reproachful look: "Are you my maid or Chen Ang's maid? These words are exactly the same as his."
Xiao Yuan was stunned by what she said, then smiled helplessly: "Madam, I am naturally your maid. But Master Chen is also doing this for your own good, you must not let him down."
When Chen Ang was mentioned, an unspeakable contradiction flashed across Yan Caiyue's eyes.
Some time ago, she was seriously ill with a cold. Her fever lasted for a long time and she even fell into a coma. She kept muttering "I want to go home".
However, even Yan Caiyue herself couldn't clearly tell where the "home" she mentioned was.
When everyone was at a loss, Chen Ang spared no expense to invite a well-known miracle doctor in the world, who was able to control her condition.
Before leaving, the miracle doctor had warned Yan Caiyue that her health had been badly damaged in her early years and she must take good care of herself, otherwise it might affect her longevity.
Since then, Chen Ang has paid special attention to her health. Not only did he ask Xiao Yuan to strictly follow the prescription of the miracle doctor to treat Yan Caiyue, he also personally supervised her diet and daily life, for fear that she would have any mishap again.
Thinking of this, Yan Caiyue sighed softly and looked into the distance.
The streets of Yucheng were bustling with people coming and going, but there was always a hint of sadness in her heart, always wandering away from the hustle and bustle.
"Xiao Yuan, do you think... Chen Ang treats me well?" Yan Caiyue suddenly asked in a low voice, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone, "He should like me very much!"
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Madam, I have seen how good Master Chen is to you. He not only saved your life, but also took you into consideration in everything. There are not many men like this in the world."
Yan Caiyue did not respond, but just nodded silently.
Her fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the cloak. Chen Ang was a good person, and she understood that this was a good destination, but sometimes she would feel conflicted. It seemed that this was not the life she wanted.
The person created by Yan Caiyue's memory will probably like Chen Ang.
But the real Xiao Qiluo just wants to go home.
Yun Nihuan and the Wheel of Reincarnation were eating "melon" in her sea of consciousness.
"Is this considered a love triangle?" Yun Ni discussed with her friends with an attitude of asking questions if she didn't understand. "Pan Pan, you see, Chen Ang completely meets Yan Caiyue's criteria for choosing a partner. Chen Ang should like Xiao Qiluo's personality, but Xiao Qiluo wants to go home more."
"You know all this!" Yun Ni, the Wheel of Reincarnation, said to himself as he spoke, "But! We must do good deeds to the end. When she dies, if we have enough energy, it is not impossible to send her back."
“Panpan, you’re so good!” Yun Ni looked at the Wheel of Reincarnation with shining eyes, “I will never laugh at you for being stingy again!”
Samsara Disk: ( ̄▽ ̄|||), it seems that my friend has made some progress, but not much!
Yan Caiyue withdrew her gaze from her consciousness and turned to walk out of the private room: "Forget it, let's go back."
"Yeah!" Xiaoyuan hurriedly followed with a few bags of things.
As for the things that couldn't be taken, Mi Twenty appeared after Xiaoyuan walked out of the room, picked up the remaining packages and followed.
Outside the teahouse, the Yan family's carriage had been waiting for a long time.
When the coachman saw Yan Caiyue coming out, he quickly lifted the curtain and respectfully invited her to get in.
Yan Caiyue had just gotten into the car, and Xiaoyuan also hurriedly got in. Before the car started moving, Yan Caiyue suddenly said, "Wait a minute, there's another person!"
Not long after, twenty large and small packages of secrets appeared, and Xiaoyuan smiled secretly.
"Twenty, you should go back with us today!" Yan Caiyue leaned out and said, "There are too many things. You can't carry them like this."
Mi Ershi looked a little awkward, but he obviously felt that carrying things like this would damage his image as a spy, so he stuffed the things in his hand into the carriage and sat at the shaft without objection.
After everyone had arrived, the coachman drove the carriage towards the Yan family.
