Da'an's best son-in-law

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Wei Yanran sat in front of the desk, placed the wine bottle gently on the table, stared at the three people in front of her with her beautiful eyes, and said calmly.

When entering the room, Lian'er was huddled at the foot of the bed wearing only a thin shirt. Xiao Xing was like a little female leopard confronting Ye Chen, who froze in place with a look of helplessness.

Wei Yanran was still rational enough to control the chaotic scene and took the three of them to the desk outside. If they were bumped into by others, Ye Chen might not be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Miss, when I came in, I saw Lian'er huddled at the foot of the bed, and my uncle was standing next to me! My uncle must have done something against his will to scare Lian'er like this!" Before Ye Chen and the other two could speak, Xiao Xing rushed to say.

In fact, it's not her fault that she didn't understand the whole story. Anyone would have misunderstood the scene at that time.

As soon as Xiao Xing finished speaking, Wei Yanran raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Chen coldly, with a slightly questioning look in her eyes.

She knew very well about Ye Chen's personality and it was impossible for him to do such a thing, but it would inevitably lead to misunderstandings if two people were alone in the same room at night.

Lian'er listened to Xiao Xing's continued impassioned speech and couldn't help but explain: "Miss, that's not the case."

Under the gazes of the other three people, Lian'er glanced at the wine bottle on Wei Yanran's table and wavered for a while, as if she was determined to make up her mind.

Feeling the strange look in Wei Yanran's eyes, Ye Chen almost felt aggrieved.

Not from here? What exactly is it like?

Lian'er didn't speak, and Ye Chen was too embarrassed to report her. If Wei Yanran knew that this girl secretly drank wine until she was extremely drunk, she wouldn't have to be punished.

"Lian'er, don't be afraid. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it. The lady and I will support you."

Afraid that Lian'er was afraid of Ye Chen's coercion and didn't dare to speak, Xiao Xing rolled up her sleeves and said very fiercely.

"I drank too much and fell drunk on the bed. When my uncle came back, he must have seen me making a mess in the house. He was only wearing a thin shirt and put a quilt on me to prevent me from catching a cold."

"I just... I just woke up and saw my uncle next to the bed and was frightened, so I screamed and brought Xiao Xing over..."

As Lian'er finished her words coquettishly, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This girl is quite smart, not as tough as Xiao Xing.

As the old saying goes, only villains and women are difficult to raise.

If this matter cannot be explained clearly today, Ye Chen cannot imagine what kind of life he will live in the small courtyard in the future, thinking about the weird looks these women look at him every day.

It's scary...

Xiao Xing's eager gaze towards Ye Chen gradually softened as Lian Er explained in a low voice, and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

Lian'er looked so trembling when she entered the house, she thought she had been bullied by Ye Chen.

It turned out that she had misunderstood Ye Chen all along. If Lian'er hadn't explained it in time, she would have said even worse things.

"Uncle, I..."

"Okay, now that the explanation is clear"

Ye Chen stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Xing's head gently, indicating that she was not angry.

Xiaoxing and Lian'er have been by Wei Yanran's side since they were young. They are as close as sisters. If he had such a sister and was bullied, Ye Chen would beat her until the king of heaven didn't even recognize her.

Feeling Ye Chen's gentle attitude, Xiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically at Ye Chen.

If the former really cares about this matter, I really don't know how to face Ye Chen in the future...

"You damn girl, you drank so much!" She scolded the former softly in Lian'er's ear. Xiao Xing pinched Lian'er's waist, causing Lian'er to exclaim.

"Snapped!"

Wei Yanran slammed the table hard, startling the three people in front of them who were all friendly.

"Lian'er, am I too indulgent of you?" Wei Yanran frowned slightly.

This girl has been with her since she was a child, and her relationship with her is also very good. Wei Yanran usually treats Lian'er as her younger sister, and even indulges the former in petty quarrels.

But she never expected that this girl would be so bold as to drink all the jars of wine left by Ye Chen, making herself very drunk.

If the person who came to the small courtyard was not Ye Chen, but other strangers, Wei Yanran could not imagine the result.

"Miss, Lian'er has really realized her mistake." Hearing Wei Yanran's scolding, Lian'er's face turned red and she lowered her head in shame.

She originally just wanted to take a few sips of this strangely fragrant beer while the two people who could watch over her were away. Who knew that the more she drank, the more she drank, and when she got there, she couldn't stop at all.

"Do you realize your mistake? If I don't punish you enough this time, you don't know how much trouble you will cause next time!"

"Okay, madam, Lian'er is still young after all, and she drinks a lot on weekdays, so she didn't control herself." Seeing that Lian'er's eyes gradually misted under Wei Yanran's cold scolding, Ye Chen hurriedly started smooth things over.

Hearing this, Wei Yanran turned her head slightly and glanced at Ye Chen coldly, but did not rebuke Lian'er again.

This girl is naughty and playful by nature. If she doesn't let her remember this time, she may not cause any trouble next time.

Sensing the unkind look on Wei Yanran's face, Ye Chen changed the subject and said, "By the way, don't you want me to know the results of my visit to the Li Mansion this time? I don't have time to talk to you in detail yet."

Sure enough, when the Li family's affairs were mentioned, Wei Yanran's tense expression gradually softened. After all, this matter was related to the life and death of the Wei family.

"Lian'er, you two go down first, I have something to tell my wife."

Lian'er felt like she was being pardoned, and looked at Ye Chen gratefully. Seeing Wei Yanran's acquiescence, she quickly pulled Xiao Xing beside her and left the place in a hurry.

"How is the situation in Li's house?"

When asked about this matter, Wei Yanran's fingers unconsciously tightened her grip on the wine bottle.

The success or failure of this matter is related to the future of the Wei family, making it impossible for her to maintain the calmness of the past.

Under the gaze of the former's beautiful eyes, Ye Chen sighed slowly and sat opposite Wei Yanran with slightly heavy steps.

He pondered for a long time with a heavy face, and then said: "Li Zheng is in a difficult situation."

Didn't make it?

Wei Yanran's hopeful eyes dimmed instantly. She understood what losing this batch of silk meant to the Wei family.

The Wei family will no longer have half an inch of foothold in Jizhou.

"It's okay, husband, thank you for your hard work."

Wei Yanran forced a smile towards Ye Chen and said softly

In any case, Ye Chen has been busy these days and has put a lot of effort into this matter.

Feeling the depressed feeling under the words of the people around him, Ye Chen realized that his joke had gone too far.

"Madam, don't worry, Ye Chen, fortunately, you will live up to your fate."
