Da'an's best son-in-law

In the carriage back to the Wei family, looking at the two people who were sitting quietly, neither of them willing to speak first, Lian'er beside her muttered dissatisfiedly to Ye Chen who looked indifferent next to her.

"Uncle, Chen Moqun said something so rude, why didn't you respond?"

The little girl was obviously still a little dissatisfied with Ye Chen's behavior of leaving just now. After all, Ye Chen was now the young lady's husband, how could he tolerate such provocation from other men.

Hearing this, Wei Yanran on the side also became interested. Her beautiful eyes looked at Ye Chen who was closing his eyes to rest, wanting to see how the latter would answer this question.

Men, to some extent, have some self-respect. How can they endure being so challenged by other men in front of their own women?

"Madam, do you want me to give Chen Moqun a good beating?" Ye Chen looked at the two people who seemed to be interrogating prisoners and shrugged helplessly.

Wei Yanran looked at the innocent look in Ye Chen's eyes, blinked, and gradually laughed.

If Ye Chen really couldn't stand Chen Moqun's stimulation and did something impulsively, he would have given the former a handle.

The former's deliberate attempt to anger Ye Chen was completely seen through by him. Wei Yanran didn't like the man who was so angry that he fell in love with his beauty. On the contrary, she admired Ye Chen's forbearance and scheming.

The former is less than twenty years old, but he does not have the impulsive and irritable characteristics of young people. Instead, he is a little more mature and steady, which is very rare.

"Miss, if I don't stand up for you, why are you laughing?" Lian'er on the side saw Wei Yanran's reaction and asked in confusion.

However, the former did not explain, and said to Ye Chen, "Well, you ask my uncle." Ye Chen also waved his hands towards Lian'er, "Your young lady knows better."

Looking at the two people's riddle-like behavior, Lian'er had a puzzled look on her face. After looking around for a while, both of them refused to say anything and could only stamp their feet angrily.

"Oh miss, uncle, you guys know how to bully Lian'er!"

There was a chuckle from the two people beside him, as the somewhat heavy atmosphere in the car became cheerful due to the negotiation just now.

After the laughter, the sadness in Wei Yanran's beautiful eyes remained unabated. Today's negotiation was probably just a test by the Chen family against the Wei family, and the real contest was probably still to come.

Although Chen Moqun's confident appearance makes people very unhappy, it is undeniable that the Chen family, as the family with the deepest foundation in Jizhou, has recently received support from Suzhou, and its financial resources have increased significantly.

If the Wei family really loses this competition, then the outcome in the future may be difficult to say...

Sensing Wei Yanran's emotional changes, Ye Chen comforted her softly.

"Madam, don't worry too much. Although the Chen family is coming fiercely, the Wei family is still not weak. There is also the Ye family to check and balance. It is not that easy to drive away the Wei family."

Wei Yanran nodded slightly, the worry in her eyes still unabated.

"Then what is Chen Moqun's background?" Seeing that Wei Yanran was still worried about family affairs, Ye Chen changed the subject.

"Chen Moqun is the eldest son of the Chen family, and has always been a man of the hour in Jizhou City. He was known as the number one talent in Jizhou back then."

"There seemed to be some changes during the provincial examination. The Chen family spent a lot of effort to let him travel, and he only recently returned to Jizhou." When Chen Moqun was mentioned, Wei Yanran also had a dignified look in her eyes. After all, the number one talent in Jizhou back then should not be underestimated in terms of both skill and ability.

"The most talented person in Jizhou..."

Ye Chen muttered softly, it seems that this Chen Moqun does have arrogant capital. Jizhou is a wealthy place with many literati and talented people. This person can be called the number one. His ability is indeed not weak. .

Recalling the former's provocative words, Ye Chen's eyes gradually turned cold.

It's not that he wants to remain aloof from the world, but he is used to keeping a low profile and biding his time when he doesn't have enough chance of winning. After all, as a man, you can tolerate some things, but if you tolerate it blindly, that is no different from a coward.

"Madam, don't worry, Chen Moqun's wishful thinking will not come true," Ye Chen said calmly.

"I hope so," Wei Yanran replied softly, thinking it was Ye Chen comforting herself, although there was indeed something unique about her husband.

But that only proves that he is not the idiot as rumored. Could it be that the Wei family can rely on him to save the current disadvantaged situation? After all, Chen Moqun is not an easy person to deal with.

Ye Chen was not frustrated by Wei Yanran's gloomy look, but quietly closed his eyes. Sometimes, some things must be done after all. Chen Moqun, I, Ye Chen, will fight with you. Just one game...

When the carriage arrived at Wei's house, it was already late at night.

To their surprise, the lights in the living room were still on at this time, and several figures were sitting there, as if waiting for the arrival of several people.

"We're back, Yanran." Looking at the two people walking into the main hall, Wei Zhongwen, the eldest son of the Wei family, said.

Wei Yanran nodded slightly, saluted everyone in the room, and said softly

"The eldest uncle and the second uncle haven't gone to rest so late. Are they waiting for Yan Ran? In that case, the two uncles should already know about the negotiation just now."

The two people at the tea table nodded. No one in the Wei family knew what happened.

Wei Zhongwu, the second master of the Wei family, frowned and said, "Yanran, such a big thing has happened, how can you go alone, and bring an outsider with you?" This outsider naturally refers to Ye Chen, who is standing next to the former.

"The incident happened suddenly, so Yanran had to go to the meeting alone first, and then send someone to report to the two uncles. I hope they will forgive me." After answering the former's question, Wei Yanran said again

"Ye Chen is Yan Ran's husband now, and he is also a member of the Wei family. Please pay attention to your words, second uncle."

Upon hearing the former's answer, Wei Zhongwu's face showed a hint of dissatisfaction, and he waved his hands impatiently.

"What's the point of arguing about this now? Let me ask you, what is the outcome of the negotiation?" Everyone in the Wei family looked at Wei Yanran with solemn eyes. This negotiation was related to the life and death of the Wei family. They were very worried about the outcome. perturbed.

"It's an important matter. Grandpa doesn't know about it yet. I think it's better to wait until the clan meeting is held tomorrow and Yanran will inform the matter again," Ye Chen replied calmly.

"How do you have the qualifications to speak for a son-in-law like you?" Wei Zhongwu slapped the back of his chair and stood up angrily to scold him. Wei Yanran dared to disobey him, but the son-in-law in front of him actually dared to contradict himself.

"How come the second uncle is so eager to know the result?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"You!" Wei Zhongwu was about to explode, but was interrupted by Wei Zhongwen beside him.

"Zhong Wu, I think what Ye Chen said makes sense. It's better to wait until father knows about this matter before making a decision. It's getting late now, so everyone should go back and rest."

"Humph!"

Wei Zhongwu had always respected his eldest brother very much. Although he was unhappy, he could only suppress his inner displeasure at this time, snorted at Ye Chen, and walked away.

Ye Chen, however, looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and didn't pay any attention to the latter's reaction.

"Ye Chen, Yan Ran, you have worked hard today, please go back and rest as soon as possible." Seeing that everyone in the hall had left, Wei Zhongwen said softly to the two of them.

"Uncle, please go to bed early."

After exchanging a few words with Wei Zhongwen, the two of them left the hall and returned to their residence to rest. What happened today was indeed a bit complicated, and the two of them were indeed a little tired at this time.
