"Very good, then I'll go talk to Nangong Xian and then go home!"
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and turned back along the road.
"My nephew, if you encounter any problems and my uncle and I can help, you must tell me and my uncle will do his best to help the entire Nangong family!"
Seeing Ye Chen come back, Nangong Xian came up to him immediately with a smile on his face and his flattery was very obvious.
"Thank you for your kindness, uncle. It's just a small matter, so I won't bother you!"
After making a casual remark, Ye Chen continued: "Since my uncle has no objection to the matter I just raised, I will return to Qingye City first and seek my father's opinion. As for the subsequent details, our two families will discuss it later.
"
"It's rare for my nephew to come to Xieyang City. Don't you plan to stay a few more days to get acquainted with Liuli in advance?" Nangong Xian smiled mischievously.
In order to secure a relationship with Ye Chen as soon as possible, he even lost his old face.
After all, before this, the Nangong family had made things difficult for Ye Chen in every possible way. Now that Ye Chen is willing to fulfill the engagement regardless of past grudges, he must seize this rare opportunity.
"Uncle, I also want to stay a few more days to deepen my relationship with Liuli, but for marriage matters, I still need to obey my parents' orders. According to the matchmaker, if I return to Qingye City as soon as possible, I can finalize the marriage as soon as possible!" Ye Chen
insisted.
"That's it..."
Nangong Xian was a little disappointed.
Ye Chen's words were obviously an excuse.
However, Ye Chen insisted again and again, and he couldn't keep it in vain.
Helpless, he had no choice but to make various verbal promises and give various gifts. Finally, he personally led all the senior officials of the Nangong family to send Ye Chen and his party out of Xieyang City.
…
"Have you finally left this depressing place?"
After leaving Xieyang City, Long Hao was like a trapped animal that had just escaped from the cage, his expression was indescribably happy.
Ever since he entered Xieyang City, he, the real young master of the Long family, has been transforming into a humble servant, working hard beside Ye Chen, a real slave.
This feeling of frustration almost drove him crazy.
Now that we are out of trouble, we can say that the sea is wide enough for fish to jump, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
He wished he could grow a pair of wings immediately, fly back to Qingye City as fast as possible, restore his identity as young master, and then show off his great achievements in Xieyang City to everyone.
Although these great achievements are not his own credit, Ye Chen is still doing it in the name of his young master.
As long as he finds a way to persuade Ye Chen to write a letter of divorce to Nangong Liuli and never have contact with the Nangong family from now on, then all the miracles Ye Chen created in Xieyang City will naturally be attributed to him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Ye Chen with burning eyes, "By the way, Ye Chen, I made a temporary decision to ask you to pretend to be me and come to Nangong's house to take the test. The rest of my Long family didn't know about this. You
You know that, right?"
"I know!" Ye Chen nodded and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Now that we have returned safely from Nangong's house, I hope that except for a few of us, no one else will ever know about this!"
Afraid of being rejected by Ye Chen, Long Hao hurriedly added: "If you agree, I can agree to you on any terms!"
"Okay!" Ye Chen agreed without thinking.
The top priority is to relieve himself from slavery and rescue his sister.
As for the matters between the Long family and the Nangong family, they had nothing to do with him at all, so he didn't bother to interfere.
As for reputation, as a time traveler, he doesn't care at all.
What's more, with the Enlightenment System, he will definitely go higher and further in the future, so how can he stick to a small Aoba City?
"That's good, that's good!"
Seeing that Ye Chen agreed so readily, Long Hao vowed: "Don't worry, as long as you help me keep the secret, no matter what you ask me to do in the future, unless it's something I can't do, I won't refuse!"
It concerns himself and the reputation and future of the entire Long family. Once the scandal is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, as long as he could appease Ye Chen, he would not hesitate to spend it no matter how much it cost.
…
The next day.
Nangong family!
"What? Liuli actually ran away from home?"
After just listening to a maid's report, Nangong Xian's expression suddenly changed, "Do you know where Liuli went?"
"Master, I don't know if I'm going home!"
The maid said in fear: "When I got up in the morning and prepared to dress the eldest lady, she disappeared. I only saw this letter on the table!"
"Could it be that she went to Aoba City?"
After reading the contents of the letter again, Nangong Xian's face became even more ugly.
The letter in his hand was indeed left by Nangong Liuli.
But in the letter, Nangong Liuli only said that she was going out to do some errands and asked him not to worry, but she did not say where she was going, let alone what she was going to do.
"Master, the eldest lady has always been arrogant. Even if she lost to Long Hao yesterday, she still refused to bow her head. Later, Master, you decided for her to marry Long Hao without her consent.
After she learns about it, she will definitely regard it as a great shame and humiliation, and wants to go to Long Hao in person to take back your decision yesterday!" said an elder.
"What a nonsense!"
Nangong Xian was anxious, "We finally reached an agreement with Long Hao to continue their marriage. If Liuli and Long Hao break up, wouldn't all our hard work be in vain?"
"Master, the top priority is to quickly send someone to intercept the eldest lady, or we can send people to Qingye City, hoping to calm down this matter before the eldest lady causes trouble in the Long Family!" an elder suggested.
"It can only be the!"
Nangong Xian nodded in agreement, and then said: "No, in order to express enough sincerity to the Long family, the head of the family should go to Qingye City in person. After all, I am not here, and none of you can persuade Liuli!"
Fearing that something might change later, Nangong Xian did not delay. After taking a group of prominent figures from the Nangong family, he set out on the road to Qingye City without stopping.
…
Xieyang City is dozens of miles away.
In a valley full of flowers, the sound of the piano is heard continuously, causing butterflies to flutter and birds to circle in the sky.
This place is the residence of the piano master Huanyin, called Tingxue Tower.
"Zheng!"
Suddenly, the strings broke and the originally beautiful sound became so sharp that the butterflies scattered in shock and the birds screamed sadly.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"I was playing well just now, but why did the string suddenly break?"
"The master's guzheng is a top-grade instrument, and the strings are extremely tough. Unless the master deliberately breaks them, this kind of problem usually won't happen!"
"Could it be that the master's mood was unstable and that's why he broke the strings?"
Hearing the sound of the strings breaking, all the disciples who were practicing their skills stopped playing with the strings and looked up at the tallest pavilion in mid-air.
That's where the piano master Huanyin often practices his piano skills.
At this moment, on the pavilion, Huanyin looked at the broken strings in front of him, the expression in his beautiful eyes changing.
After a moment, she spread out the guzheng in front of her and said angrily: "What a Long Hao, you keep promising that you will come to Tingxue Tower to find me as soon as the matter with the Nangong family is settled. It is in vain that I have been waiting here.
But you broke your promise and went straight back to Qingye City!"
After a pause, she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I can't find you after leaving Xieyang City?"
"If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, even if you run away to the ends of the world, I will still come to you and ask you clearly!"
After saying that, she stood up suddenly, explained some matters to her disciples, and immediately left for Qingye City.
