If those three families were being threatened, he could still find a way to resolve the situation.
But those three families happened to be the Yue family, and they reached an agreement.
In other words, the lives of those three girls were sold to the Yue family by three different families at a reasonable price.
Although he had considered the possibility of this happening at the beginning, he still felt uneasy when it actually occurred.
Yun Chuwei could especially understand Xie Xuan's feelings.
In her previous life, she went to great lengths to put Xie Sheng on the throne, hoping to use the local fortune to prolong her life.
But Xie Sheng turned around and betrayed her.
Yun Chuwei looked at Xie Xuan and said gently, "If you can't investigate further, then stop. Life isn't always smooth sailing. I think what you should do now is go back, take a bath, and go to sleep."
Xie Xuan shook his head slightly. He looked at Yun Chuwei and asked in a low voice, "Yun Chuwei, can you come with me somewhere?"
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow: "Is it that important? Is it absolutely necessary to go?"
She still felt that Xie Xuan should go back and rest.
Xie Xuan nodded solemnly: "It's very important. For me, I have no choice but to go today."
“Then let’s go!” Yun Chuwei said.
Yun Chuwei followed Xie Xuan out and got into the carriage.
The carriage sped along, heading out of the city.
Yun Chuwei wanted to ask where they were going, but seeing Xie Xuan resting with his eyes closed against the car window, she ultimately decided not to disturb him.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage came to a stop.
The coachman knocked on the carriage door, his voice low: "Your Highness, we've arrived!"
Yun Chuwei turned her head slightly and saw that Xie Xuan was still sleeping with his eyes closed. His breathing was light and shallow, so he was obviously asleep.
She didn't urge Xie Xuan, but instead rested her chin on her hand and looked at him intently.
She's really good-looking; even when she's asleep, she's still a sight to behold.

When Xie Xuan woke up, he met Yun Chuwei's scrutinizing gaze.
He was startled.
Whether before or after his rebirth, he slept very lightly.
Why does he sleep so soundly in front of Yun Chuwei?
Has he forgotten what happened in his previous life?
Seeing that Xie Xuan was awake, Yun Chuwei remained quite calm: "The driver said we've arrived. Where is this?"
Xie Xuan pursed her lips.
Perhaps coming to this place allowed him to temporarily forget the tragic experiences of his previous life, and he only remembered the scene of his first meeting with Yun Chuwei.
That's why he was sleeping so soundly.
He said to Yun Chuwei, "Go out and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei lifted the curtain and glanced outside.
Outside, there was a whole field of rapeseed flowers, which was very beautiful and spectacular.
Yun Chuwei jumped off the carriage, took a deep breath, and felt a sweet fragrance amidst the freshness.
Seeing that Xie Xuan had also gotten off the carriage, she smiled and asked, "So we came here to see the rapeseed flowers?"
As Yun Chuwei spoke, she raised her hand, feeling the fragrant breeze on her face.
Xie Xuan's gaze fell on Yun Chuwei, gentle as water.
He felt that Yun Chuwei's flowing dress and swaying black hair at this moment were just like when he first met her, so beautiful that he was mesmerized.
He looked at Yun Chuwei and asked, "Does this place look familiar to you?"
Yun Chuwei didn't know what Xie Xuan was referring to, so she thought for a moment and said, "Rapeseed flower fields, aren't they all pretty much the same?"
Sometimes when she travels between Xianshan and the capital, she can see vast fields of rapeseed flowers.
She felt that all rapeseed flowers looked pretty much the same.
The difference is that back then, she could ride a horse and gallop through the rapeseed flowers.
If you see injustice on the road, you can even draw your sword to help.
Later, in her youth and ignorance, she tried to divine the fate of the nation, and suffered a backlash from it, often vomiting blood, so she was rarely able to do such things anymore.
Whenever I think about it, I feel remorseful for my youthful ignorance!
Xie Xuan lowered his head and remained silent after hearing Yun Chuwei's words.
She really didn't remember.
For him, it was a life-saving grace.
But for her, it was just a small episode in her carefree journey, so why would she remember it?
Seeing Xie Xuan lower his head, Yun Chuwei also felt that her answer seemed somewhat inappropriate.
She turned to Xie Xuan and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Xie Xuan was about to explain when his gaze suddenly fell on a point in the distance, and his brows furrowed.
Yun Chuwei followed his gaze and saw two familiar faces.
Those were Xie Sheng and Yun Lianhua.
The two embraced amidst the rapeseed flowers, clearly unaware of them.
A hint of doubt flashed in Yun Chuwei's eyes. She looked at Xie Xuan and said, "The Crown Prince actually brought Yun Lianhua here as well. Is it because you and the Crown Prince are on the same wavelength, or is there something here that I don't know about?"
Xie Xuan denied it almost immediately: "No, I have no relationship with the Crown Prince, let alone any telepathic connection."
Yun Chuwei sensed a story brewing and asked Xie Xuan, "Is there something here that I don't know about?"
Xie Xuan nodded: "Many years ago, the Crown Prince and I did have some things happen here. But..."
He originally wanted to tell Yun Chuwei about those things, but after seeing the Crown Prince with Yun Lianhua here today, he hesitated.
"But what?" Yun Chuwei pressed.
Xie Xuan said, "There are some things I'm not sure whether I should mention."
Seeing his predicament, Yun Chuwei suppressed her curiosity and said, "If you can't say, then don't say. I don't really want to hear it anyway."
After Yun Chuwei finished speaking, she turned and walked away from the Crown Prince and Yun Lianhua.
Xie Xuan's gaze swept over the Crown Prince and Yun Lianhua in the distance, and his expression deepened.
Perhaps he needs to find an opportunity to meet with the Crown Prince before he can decide whether or not to say certain things.
Thinking it over, he took a step and chased after Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei walked quite fast, and Xie Xuan chased after her for a while before finally catching up with her wrist.
"Yun Chuwei, are you angry?"
Yun Chuwei paused, turned to look at Xie Xuan, and shook her head slightly: "I'm not angry. I just find it strange. You brought me here and asked if I was familiar with this place, obviously you had something to tell me. Why did you suddenly stop talking? Was it because you saw the Crown Prince and Yun Lianhua? But why?"
Xie Xuan tightened his grip on Yun Chuwei's wrist, but said nothing.
He didn't know what to say.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. These rapeseed flowers aren't really that interesting. Why don't you treat me to dinner instead?"
It's not that the rapeseed flowers weren't beautiful, it's just that encountering the Crown Prince and Yun Lianhua made her lose interest in admiring them.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll take you to eat!"
-
After Xie Xuan and Yun Chuwei returned to the city, they went to Wangjiang Tower, the most luxurious restaurant in the capital.
After the two finished their meal, Xie Xuan suggested sending Yun Chuwei back to the Marquis's residence.
The two walked out of Wangjiang Tower side by side.
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman dressed in fine clothes and with disheveled hair rushed up to them and knelt down with a thud.
