Chapter 169 Don't trade feelings

"Liulang, come with me quickly, someone wants to see you!" Li Yan, who was dozing in the carriage, suddenly heard such a familiar voice. Before he could open the car door, Cheng Huailiang outside rushed in by himself, pulled him outside the carriage and rode his horse to the direction of Cheng Mansion.

"Brother Cheng, who is going to see me?" Li Yan asked while riding on the horse.

"Liulang, I can't help you this time. Not only will my parents meet you, but there is also a person with a special status. If they have any inappropriate actions to you, you must be patient!" Cheng looked at Li Yan sympathetically before speaking.

When Li Yan heard that he wanted to see Cheng Yaojin among his people, he immediately had a headache. Although he didn't have much contact with the other party, he knew very well that Cheng Yaojin, who was a folk legend, was a real human spirit, and was much stronger than Cheng Huailiang, the little fox in all aspects. In addition, the other party was Cui Mengxue's biological uncle. When he thought of facing such a person, even Li Yan could not predict what consequences would be?

With concerns about this meeting, Li Yan and Cheng Huailiang came to Cheng's mansion together. As soon as he got off the horse, he saw an extremely handsome young man walking out of the mansion. However, when Li Yan saw this young man, he was shocked and hid behind Cheng Huailiang, hoping to avoid him with the cover of his burly figure.

It’s a pity that the other party came out for the sake of the two of them. Seeing Li Yan’s guilty look, he snorted coldly and said with some gritted teeth: “Liulang, I haven’t seen each other for a few months, you are really doing a good thing!”

Hearing that the other party called out his name, Li Yan couldn't hide anymore, so he had to stick his head out from behind Cheng Huailiang and smiled awkwardly to the other party, "I haven't seen you for many days, Brother Cui is still in style, I really want to kill me!"

The person who came out was Li Yan's old acquaintance Cui Yu, which was Cui Mengxue's biological brother. However, when Li Yan was talking to the other party, he still pulled Cheng Huailiang and asked him to block him. What he was afraid of was that if Cui Yu was impulsive and took out a knife and stabbed him, it would be a disaster.

Cui Yu saw the report about Li Yan in the newspaper a few days ago. But he didn't know at that time that the woman seduced by Li Yan was actually his own sister. Until today he came to Chang'an, he only learned the truth of the whole story from his aunt.

Hearing Li Yan's obvious words of flattery, Cui Yu did not smile at all, and still said coldly: "My uncle and aunt are waiting for you inside, let's talk about everything when you go in!"

After Cui Yu finished speaking, he ignored him and turned around and entered the mansion. Li Yan was hesitating whether he wanted to go in, but was pulled by Cheng Huailiang and couldn't help but follow him into the Cheng Mansion, passing through the hall in the front yard, and directly into the inner house behind. Then he followed Cui Yu and Cheng Huailiang into a small warm pavilion. The warm pavilion was not large in size, but the layout was extremely elegant. You could tell at a glance that it was Mrs. Cheng's handwriting.

When Li Yan went in, he found that Cheng Yaojin and his wife were sitting upright in the warm room, staring at him with a gloomy face. Cui Yu was standing beside Mrs. Cheng Huailiang came in and stood beside Cheng Yaojin. In this way, he formed a four-on-one posture, and there was no servant serving the entire warm room except for the five of them.

"My younger generation, Li Yan, please see Mr. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng!" As soon as Li Yan came in, he immediately felt the heavy atmosphere in the warm pavilion, which even made him feel like a disaster was coming. However, as a prince, he still had to try his best to maintain his demeanor and should not be careless in terms of etiquette.

However, compared to the day of the Yuan night last year, Mrs. Cheng did not show any smile after seeing Li Yan. Instead, she snorted coldly and said, "Liulang, you are really brave. It's okay to bother with her fiancée, but she even beat her fiancée who was blocking her from the letter. You really have the style of a playboy prince!"

"Madam, don't have to say anything nonsense to this kid!" Before Li Yan could defend himself, Cheng Yaojin slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Li Yan and said, "Liu Lang, you know the situation outside now that our niece's reputation has been ruined by you. You will explain to me and my wife now, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Cheng Yaojin went straight and pointed out the key to the problem at once. Since Lu Hong exposed the incident that day, the affairs of Li Yan and Cui Mengxue were no longer a secret. After all, in the aristocratic circle, nothing can be really hidden from others, not to mention that Li Yan did not avoid others when he went to the Zhulin Medical Center. So now, not only in the aristocratic circle, but even ordinary people know that he pursued Miss Cui, but once the rumors came out, it naturally caused certain damage to Miss Cui's reputation.

Looking at the aggressive look of Cheng Yaojin and his wife, Li Yan naturally felt even more guilty, but he still said with a stern voice: "Don't worry, I, Li Yan, are not a irresponsible person. Everything is caused by me, so I will definitely be responsible to the end. There is no need to worry about the two of Lu's family. I will force the other party to break off the engagement first, and it will definitely not damage the reputation of Cui's family in Qinghe. As for the next..."

When Li Yan said this, he looked up at the angry Cui Yu, and continued without any confidence: "If Brother Cui agrees, I, Li Yan, are willing to marry Miss Mengxue!"

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Cui Yu snorted angrily and said, "Marry my sister? Liulang, you said it nicely. Everyone knows that you have a deep relationship with Princess Qi, so my sister is at most a slutty person. Although Cui is not talented, she will not let her sister suffer this insult!"

Although Cui Yu's tone of speaking was very harsh, Li Yan was shocked after hearing this, because the other party's words revealed a message that Cui Mengxue could marry her, but she was not satisfied with the position of the mistress. In fact, it was no wonder that Cui Mengxue was originally a legitimate child, and her father was the rising patriarch, so her status was naturally much more noble than ordinary Cui women. If she hadn't married her as a wife, it would definitely make Cui Qinghe's face dim. However, there were only mistresses left in his mansion, so where could he find another title that satisfies the other party?

While worried, Mrs. Cheng said again: "Yu'er doesn't have to be angry! With Mengxue's identity, she is really wronged by her position, but now things have become like this. If Liulang really has a way to get Lu off the engagement, then Mengxue will probably not be able to find someone except Liulang. You don't want Mengxue to stay alone in the empty bedroom for the rest of your life, right?"

Cui Yu respected Mrs. Cheng, the aunt. After hearing her words, she immediately put away the anger on her face and bowed and replied: "What my aunt taught her is that my nephew is indeed a little too anxious!"

Mrs. Cheng looked at Cui Yu's well-behaved look and nodded with satisfaction. Then she turned her head and said to Li Yan, who was at a loss, "Liulang, let's not talk about Mengxue's status of marrying for the time being, but you caused the disaster. You also offended the Lu family in Fanyang, so you have to deal with it all over Lu. You have no objection to this, right?"

"No, Mrs. Cheng, don't worry, my younger generation will definitely ask them to ask us to break the engagement, and the name of breaking the engagement will never damage the reputation of Cui and Meng Xue!" Mrs. Cheng's words were considered disguised to relieve him, and what others said was reasonable, so he naturally had no objection.

"Okay, I believe in Liulang's ability!" Although Mrs. Cheng was a woman, she had been married to Cheng Yaojin for many years and had been involved in a lot of generous giving up. In addition, she also believed in Li Yan's ability very much, so she answered very simply.

But she changed her subject and said, "But the Lu family breaks off the engagement is only the first step. Next is the problem of our Cui family in Qinghe. My brother passed away early, and there was only one son like Yu'er in the family. The so-called elder brother is like a father. Naturally, Yu'er's marriage is all decided by Yu'er. However, you also know the situation inside Cui family in Qinghe. As the patriarch, Cui Yan has always disliked Yu'er. In addition, Cui's daughter did not marry in the royal family back then, so if Yu'er agrees to your marriage with Mengxue, she will definitely have to bear all the pressure in the clan. Do you understand all this?"

At the end of Mrs. Cheng's last words, his eyes looked at Li Yan with a meaningful look. At this time, Cheng Yaojin picked up the tea bowl and buried his head as a mute; Cui Yu turned against the anger he had just now, with a hint of ashamed on his face, lowered his head to look at his toes, but Cheng Huailiang blinked at Li Yan, indicating that it was him that he would express it at this time.

In fact, before Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, Li Yan understood the other party's meaning. He even knew clearly that the reason why Cui Yu was so angry just now was actually playing a double act with Mrs. Cheng, while Cheng Yaojin was completely a giver. He had nothing to do when he started to yell. Today, the protagonist was completely the one in front of him.

Mrs. Cheng said so much, but in fact she wanted to express only one meaning, that is, Cui Yu could agree to marry Cui Mengxue to Li Yan, and she didn't even care about her status. However, Li Yan had to agree to a condition, that is, to help Cui Yu with all his strength and let their team regain the position of the head of the Cui clan of Qinghe.

Although it is a bit cruel to say this, this is a true portrayal of the battle between the aristocratic families. Both Mrs. Cheng and Cui Yu regard Cui Mengxue as a bargaining chip to exchange for the external support Cui Yu needs most now. Although the relationship between Li Yan and Cui Yu was also good in the past, it has not yet reached the point where he can fully support him.

After thinking this out, Li Yan suddenly stood in real body, and turned against the timid look just now, with a sense of shrewdness and confidence in his eyes. The King of Qi Li Yan in people's eyes was finally back!

I saw Li Yan and Mrs. Cheng looking at each other for a while, and finally said a word that surprised everyone present: "Mrs. Cheng, I understand what you mean, but unfortunately, I, Li Yan, never traded with others with feelings!" (To be continued...)
