One month later.
Ye Chen and Ye Qianqian returned to the Great Yuan Dynasty.
It is now springtime.
Everything is coming back to life.
The weather is starting to warm up.
The shelter is almost finished.
Zhou Yanyan was still in Dayuan City, distributing porridge to the people.
Ye Qianqian said to Ye Chen.
"Third brother, shouldn't you go and check on Zhou Yanyan?"
Ye Chen nodded.
“Indeed, but I need to confirm one thing first: Zhou Yanyan has already sold everything she could sell.”
Xu Qingzhi's people quickly notified Ye Chen.
"Your Highness, Zhou Yanyan has sold everything she could."
"Now we are asking our families for money to help the people."
"Wei Rong was unwilling to spend any more money. She asked Zhou Yanyan to give up this method in order to win the favor of the Third Prince, but Zhou Yanyan was very stubborn and had a falling out with her family."
“A few days ago, she stole the land deed from the house to sell it, but Wei Rong caught her and prevented her from succeeding.”
"Now everyone in the city knows about this, and they all praise Zhou Yanyan as a good person."
Ye Chen nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, I understand."
"It seems that Zhou Yanyan has managed her public image very well."
Ye Qianqian asked.
"So, what are you planning to do, Third Brother?"
"Naturally, we will proceed according to the original plan."
"We can't let her take all the good reputation; we need to make her reveal her true colors when she's furious."
Ye Chen had already arranged for actors to cooperate with him in this play.
After the carriage stopped next to the soup kitchen.
Zhou Yanyan saw it.
I immediately straightened my posture.
The smiles on their faces have also increased significantly.
And it makes you appear very genuine.
This was also to create an image for Ye Chen that she was very gentle and kind to ordinary people.
Ye Chen stepped down from the carriage.
He said to Ye Qianqian.
"Look at the smile on her face, how much of it is genuine?"
Ye Qianqian said it casually.
"Third brother, you know perfectly well what's going on. I don't need to say anything more. Behind that smile, there's no shortage of heartache. After all, you've almost emptied your family's coffers!"
Ye Chen said it casually.
"Some of the Wei family's businesses are not entirely clean either."
"I'm just taking their ill-gotten gains and using them to do something for the people."
"This can be seen as them taking from the people and returning it to the people!"
Ye Qianqian nodded.
Zhou Yanyan pretended not to see Ye Chen.
She was just waiting for Ye Chen to come over and talk to her.
soon.
Ye Chen's voice rang in Zhou Yanyan's ears.
"Miss Zhou."
Zhou Yanyan immediately flashed a bright smile and turned to look.
However.
Her smile froze when she saw the woman next to Ye Chen.
"this--"
"Miss Zhou," the woman greeted Zhou Yanyan with a smile.
"Who are you--"
Ye Chen said with a smile.
“She is the one I love, Xiangzhuo. She is a woman from the grasslands. I liked her very much when I first saw her, so I brought her back to see my father.”
"After some time, I will choose an auspicious day to marry her."
certainly.
Xiangzhuo's identity is fictional.
She was not a woman from the grasslands, but a newly recruited palace maid by Xu Qingzhi's side.
Because Zhou Yanyan could not enter the palace at will, she naturally did not know of her existence.
Ye Chen wasn't worried about anyone finding out about this.
Only afterwards.
Saying she died of a serious illness would be enough to get by.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanyan dropped the spoon in her hand.
She stared at Ye Chen in shock.
"Third Prince, you, how could you—"
"You only brought back one woman?"
Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Since we are mutually in love, why can't I bring back a woman from the grasslands?"
"Her personality is bright and outgoing, which is exactly my type."
Zhou Yanyan's voice was stuttering.
"But, but, Your Highness, you clearly said before that you would give me a surprise when you came back! What is this surprise?"
"Oh, of course I haven't forgotten!"
Ye Chen took out a thank-you note.
"This is a thank-you note I wrote for you myself."
"It's to express our gratitude for what we've done for the people these past few days."
"Don't worry, after I return to the palace, I will ask my father to issue an imperial edict to commend you."
"With such an honor, you will surely have a smooth and successful future."
Zhou Yanyan was dumbfounded!
{A thank-you note?! I've worked so hard on marketing for so long, and all I get in return is a thank-you note?!}
{I went to great lengths, but that wasn't what I wanted at all. What I wanted was the identity of Ye Chen's wife!}
Otherwise, why would I sell all my things?
{This matter has become the talk of the town again!}
No, I won't accept that!
Zhou Yanyan immediately said.
"Third Prince, why...why are you doing this to me?!"
"What's wrong with me? Did I do something wrong?" Ye Chen asked back.
"I've never written a thank-you note to anyone before, you're the first. Don't you like this honor?!"
"I don't like it!" Zhou Yanyan shouted. "Your Highness, this is not what I want!"
