Chapter 126: Meeting on a Narrow Road (Part 1)
The princess was a little surprised: "You mean...Xu Rongqing?"
Ye Chutang nodded.
"I've always wanted to return the umbrella, but I never had the chance."
The princess heaved a sigh of relief, and her tone became more relaxed: "That's easy. I'll send someone to take you there later. It's just a matter of convenience."
Ye Chutang was about to speak when he suddenly realized something and looked back.
A tall and straight figure came into view, it was Shen Yanchuan.
He walked in and greeted the princess, then nodded gently to Ye Chutang: "Doctor Ye."
There was no trace of surprise on that handsome face, and it was obvious that he already knew that Ye Chutang had stayed here last night.
After experiencing the dream last night, Ye Chutang felt very subtle when he saw Chen Yanchuan again.
Which mountain did he go to, who did he meet, and what did they discuss? What did the other party ask him to consider?
Ye Chutang actually had no interest in these things, but for safety reasons, he had to pay more attention to them.
The princess' eyes lingered on the two of them, and she coughed lightly: "Yanchuan, why did you come so early today?"
Chen Yanchuan said: "I heard that you were angry last night. I wanted to come and visit you, but I thought it was late at night, so I didn't disturb you."
The princess snorted coldly: "Why am I angry? It's just that Ye Heng and the Han family are bullying us too much!"
This matter has already spread, so it is normal for Shen Yanchuan to know about it.
He poured a cup of tea for the princess and said, "Now that the matter has been almost resolved, you should stop worrying about it and don't get upset."
The princess leaned back and continued, "Yes, I thought so too. It's a good thing that you're here, so go and help me check if Ye Heng has moved everything."
Ye Chutang raised his eyes and looked over.
The princess suddenly felt a little guilty: "What's wrong Chutang? Is there a problem?"
Chen Yanchuan's eyes swept across Ye Chutang's face calmly. He knew very well how much she avoided him.
Moreover, she knew without a doubt how many people would be waiting outside the gate of Ye's house to watch the excitement today. She naturally didn't want to be with him -
“If it’s not too much trouble for you, Prince, then Chutang would like to express my gratitude here first.” Ye Chutang said in a gentle voice.
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and gently stroked the bone china teacup with his slender jade-like fingers, and lowered his eyes to hide the ripples in his eyes.
Ye Chutang looked at him and asked politely, "Also, I have an unwelcome request. I would like to stop by the Xu Mansion. Is it convenient for you, my Lord?"
“…”
Chen Yanchuan suddenly felt that it would be better not to drink this tea.
He raised his eyelids slightly and met that pair of dark and gentle eyes. The words of rejection in his throat inexplicably took a turn.
"It's just a piece of cake." He said word by word.
Ye Chutang's brows relaxed and a smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
"Thank you, Prince."
…
"The prince is so filial to you that he rushed to see you early in the morning." Zhu Xin praised the eldest princess while massaging her shoulders.
The eldest princess snorted.
"He didn't come back for so long before, and I had to urge him to come. Now he comes more frequently."
Zhu Xindao smiled and said, "You know very well that the prince is afraid of your urging him to get married."
"If he had the ability, would I be the one to urge him?" The princess said, thinking of what happened just now, and leaned back in her chair calmly, "But now I don't bother to care. I want to see who is the one who is anxious in the end."
"Your Highness is so talented, handsome and well-born that he is the best in the entire capital. There are countless rich ladies who want to marry into the Dingbei Marquis's mansion, but it all depends on your preference."
Zhu Xin's words are not an exaggeration.
Even though Chen Yanchuan has not been in the capital in the past few years, there are countless women who care about him wholeheartedly.
The princess smiled and said, "Why not? I think Xu Fengchi's son is pretty good. I heard that he is already an editor in the Imperial Academy at a young age. He has an outstanding appearance, talent and family background."
Zhu Xin was stunned.
The princess threw a handful of fish food into the lake.
"At this age, she is still unmarried. Maybe she already has someone in her heart."
…
The carriage went all the way to Ye Mansion.
Xiao Wu leaned against Ye Chutang, looked at Chen Yanchuan, and then looked at his elder sister.
Hmm... I don't know why, but it seems like every time the prince and my elder sister are together, the atmosphere is a little weird.
But I can't tell what's so strange about it.
Xiaowu had a vague guess in his heart that it was because his elder sister disliked the prince, but he was not quite sure.
After all, the prince is very rich and generous. I have always been very nice to patients like this... no, to friends like this.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiaowu still couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it. He touched his thick purse and began to seriously think about what gift to give to his third brother today.
My elder sister said that the family didn’t have the means in the past few years, but now that we have finally returned to the capital, we must celebrate Third Brother’s birthday in a grand manner!
Ye Chutang was also thinking about something.
——How can I get something out of Chen Yanchuan?
If it was anyone else it would be fine, but it had to be Chen Yanchuan.
This person was someone even she couldn't figure out. Ye Chutang was sure that as soon as she opened her mouth, Shen Yanchuan would immediately notice something was wrong.
...Men who are too smart are really annoying.
Shen Yanchuan tapped his fingers lightly.
It was clearly she who agreed to go with us first, but now she seems annoyed again?
Logically speaking, this trip back to the Ye family was to see the joke of Ye Heng's family, so she should be happy.
But at this moment she seemed to be thinking about something over and over again, hesitating to speak, and being extremely cautious.
Are you nervous now because we are going to Xu’s house later?
Chen Yanchuan's chest inexplicably felt even more blocked.
He said calmly: "Xu Rongqing should be on duty at the Hanlin Academy today. You won't be able to see anyone if you go to Xu's house."
Ye Chutang was stunned for a moment.
Why did he mention Xu Rongqing for no reason?
In Shen Yanchuan's eyes, this expression was one of shock and loss.
He felt inexplicably irritated and looked away.
Ye Chutang suddenly realized that he must have heard her conversation with the princess and knew that she was going to return the umbrella.
In fact, the person she really wanted to see was Xu Fengchi.
Ye Heng's family moved away suddenly, and they had to pack a lot of things, some of which must be things she needed.
It would be great if Xu Fengchi could help.
But in the eyes of outsiders, she and Xu Fengchi had just reunited and didn't have much contact with each other, so it was really too eye-catching for her to suddenly go looking for someone like this.
That umbrella was just an excuse.
"In that case..." Ye Chutang spoke carefully. Before he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped and then he heard a familiar voice coming from outside.
"Xu Rongqing greets the prince."
Ye Chutang was stunned, he lifted the curtain and looked outside, he saw a person standing in front of him, it was Xu Rongqing who was supposed to be in the Hanlin Academy.
"Mr. Xu?"
When Xu Rongqing saw her, he was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly recovered and smiled.
"Sister Chutang, I was just saying I was going to look for you."
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows: "Master Xu is not on duty today?"
"I've heard about the Ye family's affairs, so I took a leave today and came to take a look." Xu Rongqing let out a long sigh, "Of course, Sister Chutang's affairs are more important."
Shen Yanchuan's smile gradually faded.
