What terrible ideas did they come up with in Chapter 1313?
Hearing his master's words, Ye Xing looked up at him in surprise: "Master, if this is the case, your reputation will be ruined. How will you get married in the future?"
“I have already met the person I want to marry, and reputation is of no use to me anymore.”
Seeing the desolation and hint of dejection in his master's expression, Ye Xing said with some heartache, "Master... it's Su's loss that she didn't marry you, you..."
"There's no need to say that again. Don't let the rumors reach my mother and father's ears. Don't let them know that I'm at Xuanming Temple."
“Master, the master insists on investigating, and we can’t stop him. Last night, they gathered everyone in the manor to discuss how to help you and get Lady Su to marry you.”
"He came up with quite a few...bad ideas..." Ye Xing's voice trailed off, and he didn't dare look at Wenren Qichi.
Hearing this, Wenren Qichi frowned, thinking of his mother and father's unreliable behavior, and felt a headache coming on.
"What kind of terrible ideas did they come up with?"
"The head of the family plans to send an invitation to Lady Su after she returns to Fengdu from Xuanming Temple, inviting her to the manor to admire the flowers. Afterward, he plans to secretly drug her and have...you...force her into marriage."
"My lord thinks this idea is bad. He believes that you would not take advantage of someone's vulnerability and have the head of the family put the drug on you to lure Lady Su over."
Wenren Qichi: "................................................"
"Lord Xuan thinks that drugging is not a good idea. It would be better to let the head of the family go directly to the palace and ask His Majesty to grant a marriage, or to exchange money or power for it."
"Your brother said he would talk to Ms. Su on the condition that he would marry into the Li family."
"Wu Cejun wants to... arrange for you and Lady Su to meet a few times, thereby guiding public opinion in Fengdu and inducing everyone to develop feelings for Lady Su. This way, they can then speak to Lady Su and propose marriage to you directly."
"besides..."
"No need to say anything more. Have a few people keep an eye on them in the shadows. If they make a move, have someone stop them immediately. Go back and tell Mother that she is not allowed to interfere in my affairs with Ms. Su, or don't blame me for turning against her."
"I have already arranged for people to keep watch in secret, to prevent them from doing anything reckless."
"But Master, you should go back soon, or I'm afraid I won't be able to control them."
"I will return to Fengdu in two days. Let Xueying take care of things in Fengdu for now."
"Yes, Master, I... will take my leave now." Ye Xing finished speaking, bowed, and slipped out the window.
Outside the courtyard not far away, Cheng Yao caught up with Cheng Yan, who was heading towards Su Yueyao's room, and grabbed him: "Yan, you just softened your heart! How could you say such things to Young Master Wenren?"
"I wasn't being soft-hearted. I just didn't want my wife to be upset, and I was also afraid that he would misuse the situation and make her sad afterwards," Cheng Yan said stubbornly.
"Is that so? Didn't you always want him to stay out of the house? Why did you remind him like that?" Cheng Yao teased with a smile.
"I..."
"I only said that so as not to upset my wife."
"I'm going to find my wife. You take good care of him. If his arm is ruined, see how I deal with you!" Cheng Yan didn't want to see Cheng Yao's smiling face, so she went straight to Su Yueyao's room.
Cheng Yao watched Cheng Yan leave in a panic, a faint smile playing on his lips. It was rare to see Cheng Yan compromise like this.
When Cheng Yan arrived at Su Yueyao's door, she hesitated, unsure how to explain. She stood at the door, somewhat afraid to go in. Inside, Su Yueyao was already lying in bed, asleep.
The eldest prince was by the bedside, while Huan Yanxi sat on a stool nearby.
When Cheng Yan arrived at the door, the two of them already sensed that someone was coming, but they were curious to see him standing at the door without coming in.
The eldest prince looked at Huan Yanxi, gesturing for him to open the door and see what was going on.
Cheng Yan was trying to figure out how to explain things to Su Yueyao when the door suddenly opened, startling him.
Just as he was about to speak, Huan Yanxi shushed him: "My wife just fell asleep, what's wrong with you? Why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"
Cheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Su Yueyao had fallen asleep.
Looking at Huan Yanxi, she asked softly, "My lady...did she mention me? Or did she look upset? Was she angry?"
"My wife didn't mention you just now, nor was she angry. What did you do to make her angry?" Huan Yanxi said, then suddenly remembered something and continued, "Was it you who drove Wenren Qichi away?"
Cheng Yan said with a gloomy face, "I was just a little... I didn't mean to say it. I thought he wouldn't listen. I didn't mean it."
Huan Yanxi looked at Cheng Yan's expression and his lips twitched slightly. He patted Cheng Yan's shoulder and said, "Yan, be more careful in the future. Is it appropriate to say things like that directly? He just saved the wife and Feng Qi. The wife is already feeling grateful to him. And you still blatantly drive him away."
"I've realized the problem, haven't I? How am I supposed to apologize to my wife?" Cheng Yan said dejectedly.
"When the wife wakes up, come over and apologize to her. Be gentle and coax her. She won't be really angry. She probably already guessed that you were the one who did it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked you to send Wenren Qichi back, nor would she have defended you in front of him."
Upon hearing Huan Yanxi's words, Cheng Yan's gloomy expression vanished, and she immediately thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Lord Huan, I know what to do."
"No need to thank me, we're all brothers. We'll serve our wife well from now on and make sure she has no worries."
"Yes, yes, you're right."
"Then I'll take this opportunity to mobilize some people and observe whether there are any rumors about a wife in Fengdu."
"Alright, go ahead! I've already sent someone to inform the Huan family, and they'll be keeping an eye on things."
Cheng Yan nodded and then disappeared.
Huan Yanxi watched Cheng Yan leave, then smiled and turned to go inside.
The eldest prince asked curiously in a low voice, "Is it Cheng Yan who has come? Does she want to explain to the mistress why Wenren Qichi left?"
"Your Highness guessed correctly. This is the first time I've seen Cheng Yan with so many expressions on his face, and his demeanor is so gentle. It makes me feel like a wife when she's with him," Huan Yanxi joked with a smile.
"It seems he was genuinely worried that his wife would be angry with him, and he panicked for a moment," the eldest prince chuckled.
"It's actually quite good that Cheng Yan is so flustered. He's like a normal person. Otherwise, we always feel like he's carrying a murderous intent and wants to kill us at any moment."
Upon hearing Huan Yanxi's assessment, the eldest prince almost burst out laughing: "What nonsense are you talking about? Cheng Yan is very respectful to us, it's just that she has too much of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) vibe."
