The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Chapter 367: Opening of the Martial Arts School (3)

"There are actually many loopholes in our story. If we really want to investigate, we can't stop the mouths of those who have ulterior motives. Brother-in-law, have you thought of a solution?"

Wu Chen glanced at Ye Xiuyong in surprise and saw that he was still looking straight ahead, but this address was very much to his liking.

"It doesn't matter! What they want is to destroy An An's reputation. Now that the game is broken, even if the truth is revealed, no one dares to openly oppose Prince Zhuo's Mansion."

After hearing this, he felt relieved, but… Turning his head to look at his sister who was clapping excitedly, and then looking at the man beside him who had no expression but his eyes were on his sister, Ye Xiuyong still asked the worry hidden in his heart, "What if my sister's reputation is really damaged?"

The woman with bright eyes on Wu Chen's side said with rare caution, "As long as it's Ye Muan, I will marry her no matter what!"

Ye Xiu never gave up and continued to ask, "What if your family objects? What if many people want to marry you?"

"An An and I were married by His Majesty Jin Kou."

The smile on Ye Xiuyong's face disappeared immediately, and he said coldly, "You married her because of the arranged marriage?"

Hearing the coldness in his future brother-in-law's words, he said with a smile, "What I mean is that those who prevent us from getting married are equivalent to disobeying the imperial decree, and those who want to marry me are equivalent to questioning the imperial decree. So from beginning to end, no matter how many tricks they make, it will be in vain. Once the imperial decree is announced, I believe those people's expressions will be very interesting..."

Now Ye Xiuyong finally understood. It turned out that he and the prince were playing with the people outside!

Yes! An An and Wu Chen were arranged to be married, but this matter was kept secret. There were even people saying that their so-called engaged relationship was an unmarried affair, which was not legitimate... Ha!

The matchmaker for my sister and her friends is the emperor, and this matchmaker is…tsk tsk tsk tsk! It’s over, he is starting to look forward to it!

"Wu Chen, your suggestion is really great! It's so fun here!" Ye Muan rushed over excitedly, and whispered mysteriously, "And these secret guard sisters are so powerful in martial arts! Swish, swish, swish, the sword dance is more beautiful than dancing."

Wu Chen stroked her head lovingly and said, "If you like, I'll take you to the Dark Guard Camp to play tomorrow?"

“Ah!! Is this really possible?!”

"Sure! The princess has been there many times too!"

"Wu Chen, you are so nice!!"

Ye Xiuyong looked at the two people who were acting as if they were alone, and suddenly his mouth twitched. What a hell, he suddenly found that these two were a perfect match. Go to the Dark Guard Camp to play? Are you sure that's a place to play?

Seeing that they were still discussing, it was over, he was also a little tempted...

He Yingying, who was hiding in the dark, gritted her teeth as she watched the two people being intimate over there.

The concubine of the Zhou family at the side followed her gaze and deliberately exclaimed, "Oh my, how shameful!"

Several girls around her looked in the direction of her finger and saw Commander Gu gently wiping Miss Ye's sweat with a handkerchief. They felt jealous and envious.

He Yingying's expression froze for a moment, then she immediately calmed down and spoke slowly, "The Gu family has a strict family tradition. Cousin Gu Chen has been training outside for many years and is the commander of three armies. Most of the soldiers in the army are heroes who don't care about trivial matters, so cousin must be used to being at ease."

The implication is that the shameless person is Ye Muan.

"My elder sister has been looking forward to becoming the commander's wife every day. If it weren't for this merchant's daughter, my stepmother would have come to the Gu family in person to interact with them. Now... Well, even if this Ye is just a concubine, with such a favor bestowed on her, who would not think twice before marrying their daughter to her?" said the concubine of the Song family.

He Yingying felt like vomiting when she heard her straightforward speech. With her family background, how could she marry her cousin? Ha! Although she laughed at her in her heart, she still said with surprise, "Ah? So the sister of the Song family also wants to be my cousin's wife?"

The girl next to her immediately laughed and joked, "Silly Yingying, don't you know yet? When your cousin Gu Chen came into the city that day, he was sitting majestically on a big horse, which made many ladies in Zhuocheng fall in love with him... Oh, don't hit me, don't hit me, hahaha! Zhou Wei, tell me yourself, I was wrong!"

He Yingying looked at the smiling woman over there, and felt even more unwilling.

Originally, she had secretly asked someone to spread the news that Ye Muan was molested at the door of the brothel. As a result, she was lucky and the news of the opening of "Xia Yi Hall" soon spread. Although she did not think that the two were necessarily related, after all, it was impossible to open a new store in an afternoon, but she really couldn't swallow the fact that this woman got such a good deal.

Seeing that her cousin's eyes never left her, He Yingying sneered in her heart. Don't think she didn't dare to mention this, she was going to say it.

"But this Miss Ye...wasn't she teased at the door this afternoon? Why does she seem to be fine now? Is my rumor wrong?"

Seeing that she was quietly discrediting Ye Muan, Zhou Wei believed her guess a little more. Sure enough, this He Yingying also took a fancy to Commander Gu. "What kind of rumor is that? Didn't your maid say that? Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

She did not deliberately lower her voice, and the girls around her fell silent, turning their heads to look over here in astonishment.

Seeing Zhou Wei speak so bluntly, without any intention of covering up for her, He Yingying was really angry and annoyed, but now that it was said, she had no choice but to admit, "My maid saw it and told me, I took a look through the curtains. This was a brothel before, how could I get off the carriage in a place like this..."

This street was a red-light district more than ten years ago, but with the decline of Zuihonglou, the area nearby gradually became teahouses and inns, and it no longer has the glory of the past.

In the past, I could occasionally see some beautiful women passing by nearby, but when I came again today, the street seemed to have been completely renewed. Several nearby shops were closed for renovation, and even a study room opened opposite.

The girls around looked at each other, and their eyes changed again and again as they looked at the two of them.

Girls have an instinctive intuition about certain atmospheres. I often hear people talk about how caring Zhou's concubine and Miss He are. But today, it seems that may not be the case...

Someone immediately jumped out to smooth things over, "Maybe your maid saw it wrong. Those people are probably carpenters. The rumor I heard is that the young master of the Ye family brought the young lady of the Ye family to inquire about the progress of the renovation. The Ye family is the owner, so isn't it normal for them to ask?"

"Yes! I heard about it too..." Another young girl jumped out and said in a meaningful voice, "I also heard that the 'Xia Yi Hall' was originally going to open tonight, and they wanted to give everyone a surprise opening. I don't know who was so bored as to spread such a rumor, destroying the store's sense of mystery! Sigh..."

He Yingying's face turned pale and her eyes instantly turned red. She lowered her head, looking aggrieved. If you didn't know her, you would think she was bullied by someone.

But after this incident, the mask she had been pretending not to want to marry Wu Chen was finally lifted a little.
