Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 269
"I thought you wouldn't come." Shen Zhan suddenly said.

Jiang Yuan paused as he poured the wine, and replied, "The vegetarian banquet organized by the fiancée put so much effort into it, as the fiancée's son-in-law, why can't I come here?"

Shen Zhan frowned, and said in a cold voice, "I'm not easy to mess with. If the Jiang University scholar can't speak well, then don't blame me for not showing favor in the future."

Jiang Yuan chuckled and remained silent.

She provoked Shen Zhan on purpose, if she wanted to ask the reason, it was just for testing.

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

"Lord Hou," Liu Yuping raised her wine glass, "As the mistress of the Ye family, I have not yet thanked you on behalf of the Ye family for helping my eldest girl pay off the 8000 taels of Ziluobu Village's debt. This glass of wine is a toast to you." Yes, if it weren't for your generosity that day, my eldest girl doesn't know what she would be like."

Ye Lingwu's expression darkened, resisting the urge to scold Liu Yuping.She clearly said that the money would be returned to Shen Zhan, but after she said these few words, everyone at the banquet still misunderstood for some reason.

"Is what the eldest lady said true?" One person echoed, "8000 taels is not a small sum."

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

Ye Lingwu's expression changed drastically, she was extremely nervous.There was a threatening look in her eyes, and she didn't smile: "Miss is drunk, and the 8000 taels are the [-] taels that Hou Ye saw that I had served by Mrs. Shen's side and lent them to Ye's family. How can I talk to you?" Has the smell changed here?"

Sensing everyone's gaze, Liu Yuping didn't change her face, but her tone became aggrieved: "Yes, yes, what the eldest girl said is true, it's all because I can't speak."

She looked at Jiang Yuan again, and said, "Scholar Jiang, don't blame me. It's because I can't talk when I'm drunk. Don't make wild guesses, my eldest daughter and Lord Hou are innocent."

Ye Lingwu squeezed her hands on her knees, her eyes turned cold, and she was about to reprimand her, but Jiang Yuan said leisurely: "Since the lady is drunk, let the maid help you back to the house." Come on, have a good banquet, don't ruin it because of unwarranted words."

Liu Yuping didn't expect Jiang Yuan's reaction to be like this, she lowered her head embarrassingly, and begged Wei Fei for relief.

Wei Fei winked at her, then glanced at Qiu's mother, Qiu's mother reacted, and immediately said: "Big lady, the servant just asked you to drink less wine, look at you, you won't talk when you touch wine , You don’t even know if you offended anyone, so this servant will help you to rest.”

After the master and servant left pretendingly, the atmosphere in the room became even more strange. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke first to break the silence.

It is said that it is better to believe what is there or not to believe what is not. Although Liu Yuping and Ye Lingwu are not in harmony, what Liu Yuping said is not completely unbelievable. In addition to the fact that Wei Fei and Shen Zhan went to the banquet together in the car, everyone had to sigh 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 her mind to stand up, raised her glass to Shen Zhan, and said with a generous smile: "Master Hou, thank you for your support today, this glass of wine is my respect for the lady, but I have to change what she said, This toast to you can see that Mrs. Shen is taking care of me for the sake of face, Ling Wu is very grateful."

Shen Zhan's eyes were light, and he stared at her quietly, without any intention of raising his glass.

There was a slight crack in Ye Lingwu's smile, and there was more pleading in her eyes.

They stared at each other for a while, until everyone thought that Shen Zhan was not showing face, only to see him raise his glass, reply "You're welcome" without any emotional ups and downs, and drink it down in one gulp.

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

Everyone in the room had different expressions.

Some are at a loss, some are stunned, and some are stunned.

Ye Huai looked around the table, laughed and said: "Everyone, keep eating and drinking. If there is something wrong with the hospitality, please forgive me."

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

The banquet became noisy again.

Wei Fei's expression was unclear, and he turned his head to look at Shen Zhan's expression of displeasure that even a fool could see, and then looked past him to Jiang Yuan, seeing that his face was flat from beginning to end, and his heart was filled with embarrassment.

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

After thinking about it for a while, he tentatively said: "Bachelor Jiang, I heard that Miss Ye will return to Beijing to marry you after she finishes dealing with the Ye family's affairs. What will 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 who was in the middle, looked at Wei Fei and said, "Everything in the Ye family is decided by Qingqing, I never ask about it, the eighth master has to ask Qingqing himself."

Wei Fei froze for a moment, laughed twice and stopped talking.

"Since Bachelor Jiang doesn't ask anything, why are you thinking about going to the banquet today?" Shen Zhan said coldly.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Suddenly someone came from Ziluobu Village to spread the news that the Ye family's banquet was approaching and no one was going to the banquet, but as a result, Young Master Shen not only brought Ba Ye to the banquet, but also attracted many important figures from Yuzhou. No matter where you go, Young Master Shen is like a star, I feel ashamed to be inferior, but I also think that Young Master Shen and I are working together in the court, but never have a banquet together, so I hurried here."

Shen Zhan frowned, and said with a sneer: "It is said that hearing is believing, but seeing is believing. The news spread seems to be true and 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, so, does Lord Hou think I should come?"

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

It's time to come, if you don't suppress some rumors at this time, when the rumors are flying all over the sky, even if you have something to say, you won't be able to speak clearly, but...he actually hopes that these rumors will not be clear.

After the vegetarian banquet was over, the quiet mansion became lively, and many carriages came to pick up their masters.

The couple in the second bedroom had to deal with the aftermath of a big mess, driving away all the servants outside the palace, counting the dishes, cleaning up the filth left by cooking delicacies... After ordering one place to go to the next, the important task of seeing off guests is It landed on Ye Lingwu's shoulder.

After sending people away one by one, Ye Lingwu's expression became stiff, and her shoulders and back were sore.

She was about to go to the mansion when she turned around and bumped into a broad chest, her facial features wrinkled together in pain, she managed to slow down and raised her head, only to see Shen Zhan staring down at her without saying a word.

Ye Lingwu was very vigilant, took half a step back, and pretended to be calm and said with a sneer: "Master Hou, why are you walking so silently?"

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