On the official road outside the city.
A horse galloped past.
Sitting on horseback, Chen Siyuan noticed the body approaching. She frowned and tried to move forward to create distance between them, but Tao Yifan moved closer again.
Tao Yifan kept a close eye on the woman's expression as he rode the horse.
He freed one hand to smooth the woman's brow.
Chen Siyuan turned her face away, avoiding the man's movements.
They shouldn't be so close.
At that moment, she knew in her heart that they had no future, and she didn't want to marry into that messy family. She was willing to come out to make things clear.
Who would have thought that Tao Yifan, a prominent figure in the capital, would do something like this just to refute her mother?
This was irrational and wouldn't solve the problem, but at that moment, she did feel a warmth in her heart because of the man's actions.
At least, he's willing to show that he cares about himself and that he's willing to protect himself.
Actually, they're better off as friends.
Two incense sticks later, the horses finally stopped, ending their mutual torment.
Chen Siyuan felt a little dizzy; the horse was going too fast, and she was a bit lightheaded. When she looked up and saw the scenery in front of her, she was stunned.
He looked at Tao Yifan beside him.
He actually brought me to this place.
Does he know where this place is?
The buildings here are not grand or tall, and the surrounding area is somewhat dilapidated, but this place is never short of visitors.
Because this is the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon.
Every couple about to get married comes here.
"Come with me," Tao Yifan said gently, with a hint of a smile in his voice.
Chen Siyuan was still in a daze, and staggered to catch up with Tao Yifan.
She hadn't walked far when she discovered that the Temple of the Matchmaker was deserted today.
How is that possible?
Why is there no one at the Yue Lao Temple?
Chen Siyuan didn't believe it. She looked around carefully and there was really no one there.
What's going on?
Chen Siyuan was puzzled and followed Tao Yifan to the statue of the Old Man Under the Moon.
In his previous life, Song Ji didn't want to come to this place because that person didn't value him, yet this person brought him here.
Tao Yifan knelt before the statue of the Old Man Under the Moon and kowtowed.
Chen Siyuan looked at the statue of the Old Man Under the Moon in front of him. He thought that after they made their vows here, obtained the red thread, tied the love lock, and with the approval of both sets of parents, they would write their marriage certificate at the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon, which would be the final confirmation of their marriage.
"I, Tao Yifan, swear that I will only marry Chen Siyuan in this lifetime. If I break this oath, my Tao family will be wiped out!"
"Tao Yifan—" Chen Siyuan exclaimed in surprise.
How could such a solemn oath be uttered?
The old temple is very efficacious this month; if she says that, wouldn't it really mean the Tao family will be wiped out?
She couldn't do such a thing, and she wouldn't allow Tao Yifan to say it.
Tao Yifan looked at Chen Siyuan and smiled slightly, "I'm telling the truth." Just like his decision to marry this woman.
"But you also know that we... are just cooperating." What I really want to say is that there is no longer any need for cooperation.
"Chen Siyuan, is marrying me really that unbearable for you?" Tao Yifan's face darkened.
Chen Siyuan abruptly looked up and met those cold eyes. A pang of guilt shot through her heart, and she quickly explained, "That's not what I meant, it's just..."
"It's okay, I'll handle it."
"But......"
"I know what you're worried about. If I can't even handle this little thing, how can I marry you!"
These words, like a vow, took root in Chen Siyuan's mind.
If I had really married this person in my past life, would this tragedy have been avoided, and would I have avoided a miserable death?
She believed in Tao Yifan's character and that he could do it.
Simply because this person is a man of his word.
If he couldn't do it, he could simply not say it.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me, I'll handle it." Tao Yifan said, taking the woman's hand in his own. "I've already asked Wen Wan'er in the capital to sew your wedding dress."
"you......"
"I heard everything you said."
Chen Siyuan suddenly looked at Tao Yifan. She wasn't surprised that he knew what he was talking about; he was truly capable. However, she felt extremely embarrassed that he had said it like that.
Those were words deliberately meant for Chen Xin to hear, but somehow they took on a different meaning when they reached his ears.
The moment she was reborn was the beginning of her revenge; she planned every step of the way and schemed at every turn.
She wanted to protect her family, but she never thought about relationships.
Today, Tao Yifan's actions have thrown all her plans into disarray.
Tao Yifan saw the woman's reaction and was about to say something when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
In a daze, Chen Siyuan felt like she had been tricked.
She always felt that ever since Tao Yifan appeared in her life, her life had been turned upside down.
This man knew what he wanted to do and took the initiative to propose a plan to her. At this moment, he brought her to the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon and said these words.
It seems that everything is going according to this man's plan.
Soon, Tao Yifan's subordinate, Ren Lu, rushed over.
Chen Siyuan had seen this person before and had some impression of him. This person had been following Tao Yifan's side ever since the Third Prince, whom Tao Yifan assisted, successfully ascended the throne.
"Young Master!"
"What is it?" Tao Yifan frowned deeply.
Today is a special day. When he left with the woman, he instructed that no one should bother him unless something terrible happened. Clearly, something big has happened this time.
I vaguely seem to know what's going on.
Looking at Ren Lu in front of him, he felt a sense of disgust.
I hate that these problems come at crucial moments, and I hate the unpleasant things that come with power.
Ren Lu was stunned for a moment, then, realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately spoke up from the side, "Young Master, the Princess has arrived."
Princess.
Princess Qiya.
Princess Qiya, who was personally bestowed the title by the old emperor?
She is also the third prince's cousin.
Tao Yifan looked at Ren Lu, and Ren Lu nodded.
Ren Lu and the others had been by Tao Yifan's side for many years, and they had all witnessed the princess's fierce style.
What left them speechless was that when Tao Yifan was assisting the Third Prince, he was accidentally encountered by Princess Qi Ya, and somehow, Tao Yifan caught the princess's eye.
Thinking back on those chance encounters in the capital, Tao Yifan was speechless.
What he didn't expect was that Princess Qiya would actually come to Nancheng.
Princess Qi Ya's arrival at this time is not a good thing, especially since Shang Zizhen has just arrived in the capital. Could it be that something else has happened?
