Aunt Hualan knew Ye Lan's plan and tried her hand: "If all the aristocratic families join this chaos, I'm afraid the situation will be difficult to control. How about I send these three people away so as not to miss the girl's plan?"

"No, it's better to come at the right time. I just need a way to force out the poisonous snake hiding in the dark." Yelan waved his hand and said to Aunt Hualan, "Go and contact Zhang Yuan and tell me that I am interested in selling."

Aunt Hua Lan was stunned, but she didn't ask anything and nodded: "I understand."

...

King Yi's Mansion.

A man wearing a python robe sat in front of the desk, and next to him was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face. He turned sideways to the man and said: "Your Majesty is very scheming, and the eldest lady really invited me to come to the house for a chat. "

This result was not surprising to King Yi, "The eldest girl is now in jail and has to cut off her tail to survive. She will do everything possible to seize the opportunity, and the olive branch I threw is the only floating boat in the wind and waves. She will not let it go. catch."

Especially, she chose Zhang Yuan directly over Tang Peng and Xue Qiao.

King Yi is a very polite person. After his mother-in-law discussed with him about wooing Yelan, in order to test her attitude towards Yelan, he specially selected three people according to their closeness and distance.

If Yelan had chosen Tang Peng, who was the worst, the possibility of being attracted to him would be extremely slim.

But now it seems that the eldest girl of the Ye family is still a person who understands current affairs. She knows that it is impossible for the Ye family to maintain a clean flow now, and she must take sides.

"When you see the eldest girl tomorrow, you must treat her with courtesy, and you must not rush her, understand?" King Yi asked.

King Yi attaches great importance to Ye Lan, so Zhang Yuan naturally does not dare to treat him lightly.

When he arrived at Ye's house, he made a good show of it and brought many precious gifts to him.

Yelan didn't even move his eyes when he saw these vulgar things. He just asked Yunzhu and Qingye to put them away and sat down with Zhang Yuan in the front hall.

Zhang Yuan was the first to speak, "In the past, the name of the girl was only heard from the mouths of the common people, but when I saw the girl today, I realized that the compliments were too slight. She is indeed the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Her bearing is indeed extraordinary. The Ye family's character is well known." It's true. Recently, the girl is very righteous and doesn't want to take a penny from the people. She is actually willing to subsidize the people at a high rate, which really makes me admire her."

"If the girl is willing, I am willing to buy all the shops in your hands at a high price to help the girl tide over the current difficulties."

Ye Lan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows for such a generous act, "No reward for no merit, how can Mr. Sir be willing to do so much just for a single righteousness?"

Zhang Yuan laughed and did not dare to sit down again. Instead, he stood up and cupped his hands towards Yelan, "Young lady is a smart person. People who are wise don't speak secretly. She should know my identity very well. Naturally, I don't dare to spend money on a word of righteousness." It’s huge, but my master’s heart boiled with excitement after hearing the girl’s impassioned speech in front of the people, and he must help the girl.”

"I appreciate King Yi's sentiments, but our Ye family has been neutral since ancient times and cannot accept King Yi's kindness." Ye Lan said with some regret.

Zhang Yuan's expression changed. He didn't expect Yelan to refuse. This was different from what the prince said.

He was a little panicked at first, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Girl, the prince really wants to help the girl, so why should the girl turn us away?"

"I can sell this shop to anyone, and I don't need King Yi to help me." Ye Lan stood up and shook his head, "I just want to express my gratitude to you sir. The purpose has been achieved, sir." Go back."

Zhang Yuan was a little angry, feeling that he had been tricked by Ye Lan. Since he didn't want to be won over, why should he invite him over pretendingly, just to say thank you?

Ridiculous!

But Zhang Yuan still remembered King Yi's instructions and did not dare to show anything in Ye Lan. He still held back his temper and said: "Girl, our King Yi is sincere. Please think about it again. I will come to visit another day."

After saying that, Zhang Yuan turned around and left without waiting for Yelan's reply.

Yelan looked at his retreating back and calmly drank a cup of tea. Qingye next to him said: "Girl, if you offend him like this, King Yi won't be so angry that he will interfere with it, right?"

"No." Ye Lan shook his head, "King Yi is not stupid, he will understand what I mean."

It is no small matter for King Yi's cronies to visit the Ye family in person.

Gong Chengxuan held down the desk, and everything on the desk shook with his voice, "How could it be? Why did King Yi suddenly intervene in this matter!"

Shen Yan stood aside, thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid that now that Ye Lan has no engagement, the aristocratic family faction will have an idea for her. The spies in the palace reported that Concubine De Gui once revealed this when she was competing with the queen. I want King Yi to marry Yelan."

"It would be troublesome if King Yi got involved."

"Let's look at the situation again. The Ye family has never been involved in party disputes. Now that the Ye family is already under His Majesty's suspicion, Ye Lan should not commit crimes against his will."

Gong Chengxuan looked at Shen Yan nonchalantly, "Which of Ye Lan's actions was within our expectations?"

Shen Yan was silent for a while and replied: "I will continue to keep an eye on Ye Lan to see what her plans are."

"If Ye Lan is really interested, you know what to do."

Shen Yan endured Gong Chengxuan's gaze and said silently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never let Ye Lan succeed."

However, not long after, Yelan's actions hit Shen Yan hard in the face.

Concubine De Gui suddenly summoned Ye Lan into the palace.

Ye Lan had never been easily summoned by the palace concubine in the past, but today he brought Yi Zhi into the palace for the first time, catching Shen Yan off guard.

"Check, check for me! Why did Concubine De Gui suddenly summon Ye Lan!"

Shen Yan felt dizzy thinking about what he said in front of Gong Chengxuan yesterday.

He was sure that Yelan would never be involved in party strife, but he never expected that she, Yelan, would actually ignore the instructions of her ancestors and set foot in this forbidden land!

From the moment he set up the plan, Shen Yan thought everything was under his control, but once again he seemed to feel that something was collapsing and getting out of control.

"Your Majesty! I've found it, I've found it!"

Shen Yan rushed up and grabbed the spy's collar, "What did you find out? Tell me, why did Concubine De Gui summon Yelan to the palace?"

"No... it's not Concubine De..." Shen Yan's strength was too great, and the spy coughed, "It's what Miss Ye did secretly. Our people have been following the people around Ye Lan during this period, and then they found Ye Lan in the suburbs. I secretly bought a private house and hired a large number of people to make salt in the house..."

"Making salt?" Shen Yan said with a pale face, "Are you sure you are making salt?"

"It's absolutely true! We also discovered that they transport salt to other places and sell it secretly."

Shen Yan let go of the spy's collar, staggered back, put his hand on his forehead, and laughed softly, "Yelan, I thought you were bold enough, but I didn't expect you to dare to sell private salt." ? Now, let me catch you."
