Chapter 112 Ye Tingxiao! You plotted against me
"Smooth talk."
"No, I'm telling the truth." Ye Tingxiao had a faint smile on his face, his eyes as black as obsidian were shining brightly, and under the night sky, they looked like a sky full of stars. "Miss Du's medical skills are unique in Wei, and the water she developed is even more magical. And the crossbow she brought out today is unique in the world."
Du Wanwan didn't say anything. She wanted to say that the crossbow was not modified by her, but was something from thousands of years ago. But she knew that even if she said it, Ye Tingxiao probably wouldn't believe it.
She didn't say anything, so Ye Tingxiao talked to Du Wanwan according to his own thoughts: "Do you know how attractive your talents are? Maybe to you, these are just things you come into contact with from time to time and are not worth mentioning at all.
To me, it is a good thing that can change a country's war, stabilize the national strength of Wei, and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Now the Crown Prince and the King of Qi have already started the game of chess. The Crown Prince and I are good friends and classmates, so the Pingyang Marquisate will naturally stand on the side of the Crown Prince.
On the surface, the King of Qi does not seem to have any strength. To outsiders, this game is nothing more than a struggle with one's own will. But is it really so? What if he uses external forces to disrupt Wei and fish in troubled waters?
The banknote you gave me last time is a good piece of evidence, and the question you raised is worth pondering."
"What's the problem?"
Du Wanwan couldn't remember what she said in front of Ye Tingxiao. They had said a lot of things, who knew which one it was?
Ye Tingxiao glanced at her with disappointment in his eyes: "Did you forget so quickly? Tell me, how could a prince with no one and no money open banks all over Wei?"
When this was mentioned, Du Wanwan remembered: "Oh! You said you wanted this! I just said it casually because I felt it was strange."
"No, you gave me a reminder." Ye Tingxiao lowered his voice and whispered in Du Wanwan's ear, "I sent people to check, but they found nothing.
The people at Baofeng Bank are very alert. When a stranger approaches, they keep silent and know nothing about anything. Don’t you think this is strange?"
"Oh?" Du Wanwan stretched out the last syllable and lowered her head to think, "Are the people at Baofeng Bank so cautious?"
"yes!"
Ye Tingxiao smelled the fragrance from Du Wanwan's hair, which was refreshing, as if it was the scent of jasmine, and very pleasant.
I really want to ask her what she uses to wash her hair and why it smells so fragrant.
"Do you need my help to get some information?" Du Wanwan was also curious about Baofeng Bank. "I can ask Xiaoqi and Aunt Hua to be their permanent guests."
Ye Tingxiao's eyes lit up again: "Yes! How could I forget your crow mother and daughter. If you can help, I will be very grateful."
Du Wanwan shook her head: "Forget about being grateful, as long as you can protect me in Liang County and prevent my family from suffering any grievances, that's enough.
Don't worry! We don't commit any crime. We just want to live our lives in peace and stability. I will be satisfied in my life if my family is happy and content."
Hearing this, Ye Tingxiao felt very uncomfortable. Was he not included in her happiness?
Mustering his courage, he asked tentatively, "What kind of husband do you want?"
"Me? I will never get married in my life."
Du Wanwan always regarded Ye Tingxiao as a friend and a brother, and never thought of anything else. In addition, she had modern thinking at heart, so she did not delve into the meaning of Ye Tingxiao's question.
Just think that he cares about you and has no other intentions.
"Why?"
Ye Tingxiao was discouraged and wanted to say, "What should I do if you don't marry me? In order to marry you, I even called off my marriage and ruined my reputation. Now you say you don't want to marry me. Are you kidding me?"
"No reason, I just don't want to get married." Du Wanwan was not talking nonsense, she really didn't want to get married, "It's so nice to be alone and free."
"Why do you have to be alone? Wouldn't it be nice to have one more person around?"
As soon as Ye Tingxiao finished speaking, Du Wanwan looked over and saw that he looked anxious. She smiled faintly, "If there is only one more person around, it would be good, but what if there are several? Can it still be good?"
"What does that mean? Why are there so many more?" Ye Tingxiao was stunned.
"Because men like to have three wives and four concubines!" Du Wanwan teased him, "As a prince, you wouldn't be unaware of this, right? Any man with a little bit of capital would not belong to only one woman.
I am a germaphobe and don't want to share my husband with others. With this kind of thinking, I will be called a jealous woman, and usually I won't get any benefits. Rather than being divorced and going home, it's better not to get involved in the first place. "
"So you've been dressing as a man?"
Ye Tingxiao now understood why Du Wanwan always liked to dress up as a man, and also understood why she was still unengaged at such an age. It turned out that she had no intention of getting married at all.
In a place like Dujia Village, there was indeed no one worthy of her. When she came to Liang County, although there were many sons of noble families, there were almost no ones who could really avoid taking concubines.
"Yes! In this era, men always take advantage. No matter how capable a woman is, she is just a foil for men." Du Wanwan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "I don't like being a foil. I like to control my own destiny."
The first time he heard Du Wanwan say this, Ye Tingxiao felt particularly bitter. She was a talented person, but because she was a woman, she had many inconveniences and had to appear in the eyes of others as a man.
"You do have the ability to control your own destiny." Ye Tingxiao paused, and talked about his family intentionally or unintentionally, "My parents have always loved each other, and my father has never thought of taking a concubine. After my mother gave birth to me, she never had any children, and was finally forced by my grandmother to take a concubine.
Wanwan! Don't worry! If you allow me to stand by your side, there will definitely be no one else. Because having you in this life is enough."
Ah? Du Wanwan was extremely shocked. Was she being confessed to?
In two lifetimes, an ancient person confessed his love to me?
"Ye Tingxiao! Do you know what you are talking about?" Du Wanwan exclaimed, "Are you crazy? You are the son of Pingyang Marquis, not some random person? You said you are with me? Is that possible?"
It was rare to see Du Wanwan so flustered, and Ye Tingxiao smiled slightly: "Pingyang Hou's son is also a human being, and he also has someone he loves. Wanwan! Give me some more time, and when all the limelight is over, I will definitely marry you."
Du Wanwan looked at the man in front of her who was as calm as water, with a handsome face and a smile, and tender eyes. Then she narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in an unhappy tone: "Ye Tingxiao! Are you plotting against me?"
"Yes! I have to make a plan." Ye Tingxiao admitted frankly, "I have been forced into a dead end. If I don't make a plan, I'm afraid I will regret it."
"You asked me to give you medicine just to plot against me?" It was only then that Du Wanwan realized the true face of Ye Tingxiao. "Did you think about it from the beginning?"
