The older sister and younger brother are both awful; they're too upright and not tactful enough, and they even criticize others for being worldly-wise.
People with different principles cannot work together.
"Yan Mu, you're in deep trouble, and you're still acting all high and mighty here, trying to impress whoever you're talking to?" Xue Yuan looked up at the gate of the Yan residence. It was tall, grand, and imposing, but unfortunately, it was going to be destroyed today. He had been waiting for this scene for a long time.
To Yan Mu's astonishment, Xue Yuan triumphantly unfurled the bright yellow scroll in his hand.
...
Throughout the entire process, Xie Wei had people secretly keep an eye on the Yan family. Anything, big or small, concerning the Yan family, no matter what he was doing, was reported immediately.
Therefore, Xue Yuan's departure was a large and powerful affair, and Xie Wei received the news in less than half an incense stick's time.
He immediately set off. After the carriage had traveled a few steps, he reached the intersection with the You residence. Suddenly, he remembered the matter of the Yan residence and thought that he should perhaps inform You Yue and Jiang Xuening.
The former is now discussing marriage with Yanling, while the latter and Yanling are like siblings.
So he gave instructions to Jian Shu and Lü Xian respectively.
The two men were a little worried about him: "Sir, are you alright with no one around?"
Xie Wei shook his head: "It's alright, Daoqin is also secretly following us."
Both Jian Shu and Lü Xian knew the power of Dao Qin's crossbow, so they didn't hesitate any longer. However, as soon as they took a step, they saw a carriage speeding towards them on the road in front of the You residence not far away.
Jian Shu had excellent eyesight. After a brief glance, he recognized it with delight, "Sir, it's the You family's carriage!"
In the blink of an eye, the carriage had arrived.
The curtain at the carriage window was lifted, revealing Chu Yuan's bright but worried face: "Sir, have you heard about what happened at the Yan residence? It was sudden. Is it alright if we talk as we walk?"
"Can."
Xie Wei responded and immediately got out of the carriage to ride with Chu Yuan.
The carriage moved swiftly, its clatter echoing through the air.
Xie Wei stared at Chu Yuan for a moment, then gripped the small hand warmer in his hand. "I didn't expect you to be so concerned about the Yan family, and you received the news almost as quickly as I did."
Chu Yuan's expression remained unchanged. "Of course, I value Yan Ling. Since he hasn't returned yet, I've naturally had people keep a close eye on the Yan residence. I just didn't expect that instead of the person I was waiting for, that old bastard Xue Yuan would give me a hard time. Coming to the door in the middle of the night, there's no doubt he's up to no good!"
Xie Wei was supposed to call Xue Yuan "father" as usual. Although he hated Xue Yuan to the bone, he couldn't erase the fact that he shared the same blood as Xue Yuan.
Hearing Chu Yuan curse Xue Yuan as an old bastard, Xie Wei was both amused and exasperated, glancing at her a few more times. "I sent people to investigate. Xue Dingfei runs away whenever he sees Yan Ling. He used to be a beggar. He has no other skills, but he is most adept at disguising himself to avoid being noticed."
Therefore, Yan Ling spent some time and effort trying to capture him these past few days, which delayed her return to the capital.
If all goes well, they should be back in about half an hour.
Xie Wei had connections everywhere, and Chu Yuan believed what he said.
He glanced at the sky and sighed. "Then, sir, should we stall and delay, waiting for Yan Ling to return before doing anything Xue Yuan intends to do?"
