Thinking of this, Ye Fan suddenly felt a little happier. Maybe, maybe, this was where his grandparents lived many years ago.
"In half a day, we can arrive at Aolin Villa." Lin Xichen suddenly appeared at some point, looked ahead and said with a smile.
The horses prepared are all good horses that can travel thousands of miles every day. They only have to rest and go on the road. They are so fast that they have covered so many miles.
"Is Miss Shang feeling better?" Ye Fan asked softly.
"It's better." Lin Xichen sat down in the carriage, "I just fell asleep. When I went out that night, I accidentally got into someone else's way. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have to enter the world again."
Ye Fan pretended to ask casually: "Miss Shang doesn't look like a member of the world, but she looks more like a lady from an official family. Judging from her words and deeds, she should be the daughter of a wealthy family."
Lin Xichen looked at Ye Fan in surprise, with a hint of surprise in her tone, and said, "You can guess right, this girl Shang was originally from a family of officials, but later something unfortunate happened to her family, and she had to live in the world.
among.”
"I heard from my father that there was a general named Shang in the Central Plains of the DPRK. He had been guarding the border. Later, he neglected his duties in a battle and was executed by the emperor. His family members were also executed. Could it be that Miss Shang is a descendant of General Shang?
?" Ye Fan said with a calm face and a hint of curiosity.
Lin Xichen didn't seem to want to hide anything from Ye Fan. She nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Shang is the granddaughter of General Shang. There are more than a hundred members in the Shang family, and she is the only one who survived."
Ye Fan nodded and sighed: "You are really lucky. As an official in the court, it is natural that you sometimes don't know when a disaster is coming."
"However, your father seems to be very popular with the emperor." Lin Xichen said lightly.
"Yes, my father is an upright person." Ye Fan said calmly. In fact, what he wanted to say was that his father held military power in his hands. If we did not live in peace, the emperor would also think about it.
"What do you think of the current emperor?" Lin Xichen looked at Ye Fan and asked.
Ye Fan shook his head and said calmly: "I am a woman and not interested in national affairs. Moreover, my father has taught me since I was a child that trouble comes from mouth and I don't want to get into trouble."
We were still two miles away from Aolin Villa, and we saw red lanterns shining brightly on the road. When we arrived at Aolin Villa, it was already late at night, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still unclear.
As soon as he entered the gate of the villa, he saw Du Ruoxin coming forward happily, completely ignoring Ye Fan's existence, ran to Lin Xichen, threw herself into his arms, and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Xichen, Ruoxin misses you so much."
you."
Lin Xichen smiled, stroked her hair, and said softly: "I miss you too, are you okay these days?"
"No, I just miss you very much." Du Ruoxin said aggrievedly.
Mrs. Lin and Master Lin walked out together.
Looking at Master Lin, this man is the man that Master has been thinking about day and night. He has a strong and handsome face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, exuding a sense of righteousness. He is wearing a navy blue dress, calm and generous,
He looks like a tough guy.
To be honest, in comparison, Lin Xichen seems to be more similar to the master. Lin Xichen is more handsome, not as rough as Master Lin's lines.
At this time, Master Lin was looking at Ye Fan gently.
The woman in front of me is not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old. She has a delicate face, delicate eyebrows, delicate eyes, delicate nose, delicate mouth, and two shallow lips.
She has shallow pimples and a faint charm. Wearing a red dress, the bright color still makes her look as pure as water.
The inspecting gaze of Master Lin was not harsh, but gentle. He did not dislike the woman in front of him. Compared with Ruoxin, the woman in front of him was more transparent and clearer, making people feel more comfortable. Although her expression was light, her words were also so.
It's faint, but it makes people like it.
"Are you Ye Fan?" Village Master Lin asked with a smile.
Ye Fan nodded. The man in front of her was a man that Master liked and could not forget. Even if he gave up, he was still a man that he would never forget. She smiled and said, "I have met Master Lin."
"Haha, now we have to change our title, you can just call me father like Xichen." Village owner Lin said with a smile, "I have always wondered what kind of daughter-in-law Xichen asked for. Look at it this way, Xichen's
The vision is quite good.”
Ye Fan felt a little shy and couldn't help but blush.
Mrs. Lin approached Ye Fan with a smile, held her hand, and walked together. She looked warm and friendly, but heard a faint voice saying coldly: "Miss Ye, you made a bet with me, and now this
Along the way, why did we hear that Xichen is marrying Miss Shang?"
Ye Fan smiled faintly and looked at Lin Xichen and Shang Xiuli who were walking nearby. Shang Xiuli's face was still a little pale and her expression was a little tired. She didn't speak.
"Why don't you speak?" Mrs. Lin asked curiously.
"If I am a bargaining chip, you must learn not to provoke me. If I get impatient, you will ruin all your plans." Ye Fan said lightly, "If Miss Shang accepts it, she is afraid that she will ask me to nod, so don't
To test my endurance."
Mrs. Lin did not say anything. Ye Fan was right. Now, Ye Fan is the biggest bargaining chip. Only through her can we achieve the planned plan. "I will arrange for you to go to Xichen's residence."
Ye Fan nodded, but she felt from the unfriendly eyes of the people around her that she was definitely not a popular person in this Aolin Villa.
Shang Xiuli glanced at Ye Fan lightly, with a bit of sarcasm in her eyes. She had already seen the intentional neglect in the eyes of others. Here, Du Ruoxin is a princess, so how can Ye Fan survive?
It's shocking every step of the way.
"Miss Ye, you have to be careful here." Shang Xiuli said softly with a smile.
Ye Fan nodded and smiled. There was no way he was not frightened in his heart. How could he be calm at the age of seventeen or eighteen? He was just trying to look calm on the surface. He was born in Prince Ye's Mansion and was trained by Prince Ye himself. Not
I have never seen wind and rain, and the imperial court is not a safe place, so I don't care much about the situation now.
However, she kept in mind her father's personal instructions before leaving, telling her that once she comes, she will be at ease, and there will be no obstacles in the world that she cannot overcome. In any case, she will never let herself ruin the clarity and prestige of Prince Ye's life.
"Girl, you go first. I'll go over after I've taken care of the things here." Lin Xichen said softly. She finally got rid of Du Ruoxin, but she still felt the passionate eyes following her closely.
Ye Fan smiled and said nothing.
Mrs. Lin asked a servant to take Ye Fan to the river to take a boat, and said: "First take Miss Ye to where Xichen lives, and be careful along the way. Miss Ye is from the capital and is not familiar with the environment here.
, don’t let her get lost. When you get there, ask Xue Lian and Jiao He to take good care of her."
Du Ruoxin also gave gentle instructions, "Miss Ye is new here, so don't bully others. We have to cross a waterway ahead, so we ask the boat driver to be careful."
Ye Fan smiled faintly again, but there was an ominous feeling in his heart.
