"If he still dares to act recklessly, fix him properly!"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Although he used various methods to force you, he did not harm anyone in the end. I can't possibly go on a killing spree because of this, right?"
"That's true!"
Qiu Yijian nodded with understanding, and then made a gesture of invitation to Ye Chen, "Since Liu Fuguo has been sent away, let's go in and have a drink and chat!"
"Forget it."
Ye Chen waved his hand, "I still have some urgent matters to deal with. If Liu Fuguo troubles you again, please notify me and I will leave first!"
"Since Brother Ye still has something to do, I won't try to persuade him to stay!"
Qiu Yijian didn't force it, he just bowed to Ye Chen, "If I find a place where I can be useful in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Don't worry, if I need your help, I won't be polite!"
Ye Chen said no more and left here immediately.
…
The next day.
The sound of nature.
"Dong dong dong!"
Ye Chen was still asleep when he heard a knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar female voice came from outside, "Sir, are you up?"
"What's the matter?"
Ye Chen asked subconsciously.
Even though he didn't see it, just by hearing the sound, he knew that the person who woke him up should be Xiao Rong.
"Sir, the Fourth Prince has been waiting for you outside for half an hour!"
Xiao Rong's voice continued to come.
"Fourth Prince?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly, "What does he want from me?"
"The fourth prince said that he would not tell you his intention until he sees you in person."
"That's it..."
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Since everyone is here, I want to see what he has to say."
Immediately, he added: "By the way, Miss Xiao, please ask someone to pour a basin of water for me so that I can wash up."
"Sir, there's no need to call anyone else. I've already brought it. Just open the door and I'll help you wash up."
"Did you bring it?"
Ye Chen couldn't help but be a little moved.
Ever since Xiao Rong and Du Yuxiang became the shopkeepers of Tianlaizhiyin, they no longer need to do anything themselves, they only need to instruct their subordinates to do it.
Never thought that Xiao Rong would be willing to serve her tea and water.
Even before I got up, I had already prepared everything in advance.
This shows how diligent Xiao Rong is in order to serve herself well.
"Squeak!"
Opening the door, a graceful and charming woman was standing outside the door holding a basin of water and a towel hanging on her shoulder.
It’s Xiao Rong!
"I'm interested, but I can do it myself."
Ye Chen cast a grateful look and then took the basin and towel from Xiao Rong.
He did this because he didn't want to trouble Xiao Rong, but he was also not used to being helped out of bed.
But his rejection made Xiao Rong's beautiful eyes flash with a look of inferiority.
In her opinion, she, a woman from a humble background, seemed not even worthy of serving Ye Chen.
However, she did not insist. She just forced herself to smile and said, "Since the young master is willing to meet you, then I will go and give a reply to the fourth prince?"
"Well, go ahead, I'll be back later."
"Yes, sir!"
Xiao Rongying bowed and retreated.
Ye Chen carried the basin into the house, washed himself casually, and then went to the reception hall.
"I've met the young master!"
A respectful voice came immediately.
Looking around, a handsome young man wearing a brocade robe immediately stood up from his chair and saluted him.
It was none other than the Fourth Prince Nangong Yuan.
But now, it should be the fourth prince.
As Nangong Mingyue ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the former prince naturally became a prince.
"Fourth Prince, what are you doing?"
Ye Chen pretended to be frightened, and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "You are a prince, and you should be the common people to pay tribute to you!"
"Master Ye, what are you talking about?
You are now the backbone of the empire, let alone me, even if His Majesty comes in person, I would not dare to be rude to you, Young Master!"
Nangong Yuan said politely.
"If that's the case, then don't be polite, everyone!"
Ye Chen smiled, then sat down on the chair opposite Nangong Yuan, and asked tentatively: "The Fourth Prince is here, what do you want to teach me?"
As he asked this question, he quickly considered various words for his reply.
Now that the battle for the throne has come to an end, there are only two possibilities for Nangong Yuan to come looking for him.
First, I am still worried about what happened to me. I am really angry today and want to ask for an explanation.
Secondly, if you encounter any difficulties, you would like to seek help from yourself.
"Master Ye may have misunderstood!"
As if he could see what Ye Chen was thinking, Nangongyuan smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't get your support from the young master at the beginning, which can only show that I have shallow virtue and talent. I am so convinced by my defeat that I don't have any complaints in my heart!"
“I’m afraid the Fourth Prince’s words are a little off-putting, right?”
Ye Chen tentatively said.
"What I say below comes from my heart. The sky can teach me, and the sun and the moon can shine on me!"
Nangong Yuan's face was full of sincerity, "It is an honor for my little sister to get the support of the young master. I really have no other thoughts except envy!"
"not to mention……"
He changed the topic and sighed: "Actually speaking, we brothers can still stay in the imperial capital and hold the position of princes, thanks to you, young master, otherwise we would have been under house arrest or exiled, or our lives would have been in danger.
"
"So, sir, don't think too much, I really don't have any hatred towards you!"
Seeing the sincerity on the other party's face, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "The fourth prince is here, he doesn't just want to tell me this, right?"
"of course not!"
Nangongyuan didn't mince words and said directly: "I came here mainly because I want to ask the young master for a favor!"
"oh?
What are you busy with?"
Ye Chen did not agree immediately, but asked with interest.
He must first listen to what the other person is asking for help before he considers whether to help.
Otherwise, if the other party wants to do something detrimental to you, wouldn't it be a trap for you if you agree in advance?
"Actually, this matter has something to do with you, Mr. Ye!"
Nangong Yuan smiled mysteriously.
"oh?
Does rest and recuperation have anything to do with me?"
Ye Chen suddenly became interested.
"Young Master is now well-known in your imperial capital, but at this time, there are still some crazy people who dare to pretend to be you and go around cheating."
"Is there someone pretending to be here?"
Ye Chen's expression was slightly strange.
"good!"
Nangong Yuan nodded, "That person is very strong, but also extremely arrogant!"
"Then who is pretending to be me?"
Ye Chen asked.
"To be honest, all I know is that someone is pretending to be you, the young master, and is acting tyrannically, but I haven't even had time to collect the other person's identity information."
Nangongyuan shook his head and continued: "Originally, I wanted to handle this matter personally, but then I thought about it. It concerns your reputation, Mr. Ye. It is up to you, Mr. Ye, to personally come forward to expose the fake face.
suitable."
"Uh... I wonder when that happened?"
The more Ye Chen listened, the more embarrassed he became.
If his guess was correct, the impostor Nangong Yuan was talking about should be him.
Just yesterday, he went to Ping'an City to support Qiu Yijian. Someone was using his reputation to force Qiu Yijian to compromise.
But even if he came forward in person, Liu Fuguo, the owner of Wujia Auction House, not only didn't believe him, but said he would find someone to expose him.
At this moment, the fourth prince Nangong Yuan said again that someone was impersonating himself and acting tyrannically.
If what Nangong Yuan was talking about was what happened in Ping An City yesterday, then this misunderstanding would be a bit big.
"I am not a party to this matter, this matter is just hearsay!"
Nangong shook his head at first, and then said: "How about this? I will introduce a person involved and let him personally describe it to the young master. It should be clearer!"
"This...is good!"
Ye Chen only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
Although he guessed who Nangong Yuan was going to bring, it was just a guess after all.
If what Nangong Yuan said was different from what he thought, wouldn't it look too smart and self-righteous?
