Chapter 535 Lin Xian: I won't take a concubine, let's go out of the city together

Lin Xian stared at the gift box in her hand. It looked very beautiful, but he didn't know what the gift was. He glanced at Shen Chuwei and saw that she was turning her head to pick up the sweet cake on the table. The cake was only the size of a finger, and she stuffed it directly into her mouth after picking it up...

Ouyang Leyi was very curious about what gift Lin Xian would give her, and couldn't wait to open the gift box in front of Lin Xian.

Inside the gift box was a pair of jade bracelets inlaid with a ruby. The style was a little different from that of the Xing Miao ethnic group, but it was very luxurious and beautiful.

Lin Xian only needed to raise his eyes to see the gift inside. He knew at a glance that it was very valuable. No wonder Shen Chuwei told him not to worry on the way here, and that it would definitely not be embarrassing.

He lowered his eyes to glance at Shen Chuwei, only to see that she was puffing up her cheeks. It was obvious that she was eating silently again.

Shen Chuwei noticed that he was looking at her and smiled at him.

Ouyang Leyi raised her head happily and looked at Lin Xian: "Mr. Lin, I really like the gift you gave me."

Lin Xian said: "As long as you like it."

"Let me try it on and see." Ouyang Leyi put the gift box on the table, took out Jinpao's jade bracelet, and put it on her wrist carefully, fearing that she would accidentally drop it.

She has slender wrists, and the jade bracelet fits perfectly on them.

After Ouyang Leyi put on the jade bracelet, she happily held it up in front of Lin Xian and said, "Mr. Lin, does it look good?"

Lin Xian looked at the jade bracelets. Shen Chuwei had good taste. Although the pair of jade bracelets were small, they still looked elegant.

He nodded, "Yeah."

Ouyang Leyi was extremely happy.

At this time, the maid came over and said, "Princess, the clan leader wants you to come over."

"Okay." Ouyang Leyi raised her eyes, glanced at Lin Xian, and left with the maid.

When the clan leader saw his precious daughter approaching, he waved her to stand beside him and announced in front of everyone, "Today is Princess Le Yi's sixteenth birthday. She has reached the marriageable age. We will select a young and talented man to be her consort."

As soon as the clan leader finished speaking, the crowd below became excited. Many young talents liked Ouyang Leyi and had been waiting for this day to become a royal consort and reach a higher level of status, more honorable than the nobles.

The clan leader smiled and looked at his precious daughter, "Le Yi, which of these young talents do you like?"

Ouyang Letian only glanced at the so-called young talent and said shyly, "My daughter has already chosen one."

Upon hearing this, the clan leader was somewhat curious about his daughter's vision. Who would she choose?

"Tell me who this young master is from."

Ouyang Leyi looked at Lin Xian in the corner. Even though he was standing in the corner, his noble temperament would stand out from the crowd.

His handsome face is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off him once you take a look at him.

"The person I like is Mr. Lin, Lin Xian."

The young talents below were all confused when they heard this, because they had never heard of this person.

"Who is Mr. Lin? Which family is he from?"

"I've never heard of anyone with the last name Lin among the nobles."

Lin Xian, who was named, was also confused. How could someone directly distance himself from the prince consort in public?

Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. Although he guessed that Ouyang Leyi had improper thoughts about Xiao Jinyan, he did not expect that she would publicly name him as a son-in-law.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, and whispered, "Are all princesses so confident?"

This is no less than confessing in public. If both parties are not sure of their feelings, this method of confession can only have two results.

Either the other party agrees and everyone is happy.

Either you get rejected and feel embarrassed...

Lin Xian replied: “I don’t know.”

Ouyang Letian walked down from the stage happily, the crowd automatically parted to form a path, and she walked towards this side with a smile on her face.

Lin Xian looked at Ouyang Letian who was walking towards him and roughly guessed what she was going to do. He stood there straight, and suddenly his hand was held by a warm hand. He turned his head and saw Shen Chuwei beside him.

Who could have thought that I would encounter this on my last day here?

Ouyang Leyi walked slowly in front of Lin Xian. She was dressed particularly gorgeously today.

The eyes of everyone present followed Ouyang Leyi's figure, and they also saw Lin Xian in front of her. They vaguely guessed that he was the young master Lin that Leyi had taken a fancy to, Lin Xian.

"This person looks strange, he doesn't look like a member of the Xing Miao ethnic group."

"You can tell from the clothes he's wearing that he's not from here."

"Why does Princess Le Yi like a foreigner?"

Ouyang Leyi took out her personal belongings, including the silk bag she had worn since she was a child, which was embroidered with beautiful patterns and tied with red tassels at the bottom.

"Mr. Lin, I want you to be my husband."

Lin Xian took a look at the item in her hand. He had seen her carrying it with her every time Ouyang Leyi came these days. And considering those words, it was probably a token of love.

He didn't want to resolve the matter in public, but Ouyang Leyi didn't give him the opportunity.

"Princess Le Yi, you are of noble status and beautiful, but I already have a lover. Thank you for your kindness."

As soon as Lin Xian finished speaking, there was a burst of surprise from all around.

"How many people wanted to marry Princess Le Yi, but he refused them all? He didn't even take Princess Le Yi seriously."

"That's right, you don't know what's good for you. You actually dared to reject Princess Le Yi."

Ouyang Leyi was stunned when she heard that he had a lover, because she didn't expect that he had a lover. But when she thought about it, it made sense. How could a man as handsome as Lin Xian be unpopular?

I'm afraid that people who like him will line up all the way to the square.

"A man can have three wives and four concubines. I don't mind you taking a concubine."

Lin Xian paused when he heard this. If it was someone else, he could just refuse directly, but facing his savior, he couldn't remain silent.

"I promised her not to take a concubine."

When she walked over from Ouyang Leyi, Shen Chuwei stopped eating and kept staring at Xiao Jinyan, wanting to see his reaction.

But now it seems that she is still relatively satisfied with Xiao Jinyan's reaction. Fortunately, she got vaccinated in advance, otherwise it would be very difficult to put such a big hat on her as her savior.

Ouyang Leyi asked in disbelief: "You got married."

Lin Xian nodded, "Yeah."

Ouyang Leyi thought he had made such a big concession at his own expense, but in the end, he gave up taking a concubine for the sake of another woman?

How could she accept this?

Even though his sister acted capriciously and thoughtlessly, she was still his sister after all. Ouyang Jingyuan pulled her close to his arms and said, "You always act like this without considering the consequences."

Ouyang Letian had never met a man who could make her so moved. Even though he already had a wife, she was still unwilling to accept it.

"Who is your wife? I want to meet her."

Lin Xian glanced at Shen Chuwei. It was obvious that it was very sensible for her to suddenly reveal her cards at this moment. He retracted his gaze and looked at Ouyang Leyi and said, "She is in Daxia."

Ouyang Jingyuan angrily shouted, "Haven't you made enough noise yet?"

The clan leader also walked over from the crowd and glanced at Lin Xian. He knew that this young man was rescued by his daughter, but he didn't expect that his daughter would choose an outsider over so many young talents.

"Leyi, stop messing around."

Ouyang Leyi was unwilling but didn't know what to say.

The originally lively and bustling birthday party became a little awkward because of the part about choosing a son-in-law.

When they returned to the guest room, they saw Wu Tan standing under the tree, as if waiting for them.

She took the initiative to ask, "Master Wu Tan, is there something wrong?"

Lin Xian saw Wu Tan’s eyes darken.

Wu Tan took two steps forward and asked gently, "Well, are you going back to Daxia or to Nanzhao?"

Shen Chuwei asked, "Going to Nanzhao Kingdom, what's wrong?"

Wu Tan said, "Nothing. I am planning to go to Nanzhao. Since you are going too, I would like to go with you. Is that okay?"

"I'm fine." Shen Chuwei seemed to have thought of something. She asked curiously, "Could your hometown be in Nanzhao Country?"

Seeing her agree so easily, Lin Xian frowned unhappily and said, "No, we are not going there for fun."

Wu Tan did not look at Lin Xian, but nodded to Shen Chuwei, "Yeah."

Shen Chuwei tugged at Xiao Jinyan's sleeve and said, "Wutan's hometown is in Nanzhao Country. We are unfamiliar with the place. It will save us a lot of trouble if he is our guide."

Wu Tan chuckled: "Nan Zhao Country, I am very familiar with it."

Shen Chuwei tugged at his sleeve again, "Look, having someone you know leading the way not only saves you trouble, but also saves you time."

Shen Chuwei actually wanted to resolve Xiao Jinyan's matter quickly, then return to Daxia, and then reunite his family.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian glanced at Wu Tan and could only reluctantly agree.

After making an appointment with Wu Tan, the two returned to the guest room.

Lin Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. Seeing Shen Chuwei, he handed it to her first, "You ate so much meat, drink some tea to get rid of the greasiness."

"Hmm." Shen Chuwei took the teacup, put it to her mouth and took a few sips.

Lin Xian picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei in front of him. She had been drinking tea with her head down, and it was obvious that she was very thirsty.

Shen Chuwei had drunk enough, so he put down the teacup, his tone full of excitement because he was going to leave this place.

"Let's go to bed early tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. I'll ask Qin Xiao to arrange the horses in advance."

Lin Xian nodded, "Yeah."

They both rested early.

At this time, the light was still on in Ouyang Leyi's guest room, and there were sounds of banging and smashing coming from inside.

"Princess, please calm down." The maidservant shuddered with fear and advised cautiously.

Ouyang Leyi's beautiful face became a little ugly because of unwillingness. She swept the hot tea on the table to the ground, and the boiling tea splashed on the maid's embroidered shoes.

"Get out of here, all of you."

“Yes, yes, yes…”

The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly retreated.

After Ouyang Leyi finished shouting, she still couldn't calm down. She sat at the table, thinking that Lin Xian would be leaving tomorrow. She felt not only unwilling but also reluctant.

She suddenly thought of the note that said Lin Xian would not come back after he left. It turned out that it was referring to the fact that he had already married.

That morning, Shen Chuwei and Lin Xian woke up early. In fact, there was no greeting. Lin Xian came here empty-handed and left empty-handed as well.

No, when I left, there was another person beside me, Shen Chuwei.

Most of Shen Chuwei's things were in the space, so she just carried her luggage with her.

At the entrance to the imperial city gate, there was a carriage to take them out.

Ouyang Jingyuan and Ouyang Leyi are here.
