Before Nan Yuan could say anything, she saw Xie Luochen standing in front of her, staring at Lin Yitang with a heavy gaze: "Miss Lin San's words are too harsh."

Lin Yitang was choked by these words, and when she saw that Xie Luochen was clearly on Nan Yuan's side, she became even more furious. A down-and-out prince dared to go against her!

"A sickly man and a vixen, a perfect match... no, not at all." Lin Yitang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Luochen with contempt: "Master Xie, you should be careful. Keep an eye on them. You never know if they will pick up a few green hats for you one day."

"Miss Lin San, please don't worry about Mr. Xie's family affairs." Xie Luochen's face darkened for a rare time, and his tone was not very good.

Hearing this, Nan Yuan suddenly came back to her senses.

Seeing that Lin Yitang was about to speak, she said, "Miss Lin San, please be careful with your words. There are many people here and they are gossiping. If what you saw and heard today gets out, I'm afraid your father and brother will be embarrassed as well."

What Lin Yitang is most proud of is her own life experience, which is achieved by the hard work of her father and brother, so she will think twice about anything that is not in her father and brother's favor.

As expected, although Lin Yitang was still angry, he could only hold it in. He glared at Nan Yuan fiercely, turned around and stepped onto the deck: "You are lucky!"

Nan Yuan looked at Lin Yitang with eyes that gradually became deep. She had been tolerant of people like Lin Yitang time and time again, but in return he only became more and more demanding.

She needed an opportunity to make it impossible for Lin Yitang to make a comeback.

If you don't strike, then don't strike. But if you strike, it must be a fatal blow.

"Miss Lin San, take care." Nan Yuan remained polite as always.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, everyone dispersed and went on board to enjoy the scenery.

Xie Luochen looked at Nan Yuan deeply, then immediately shifted his gaze.

He knew that what Lin Yitang said was all nonsense, but it was true that Nan Yuan had a bad relationship with these noble ladies in the capital.

That day, his mother arranged this marriage for him because she wanted to use the Nan family's assets to fill the deficit of the palace over the years.

But now it seems that it is still unknown whether Nan Yuan can help them make up for the deficit. It would be bad if he made enemies in the capital because of her.

Xie Luochen glanced at Nan Yuan. He was very satisfied with Nan Yuan's personality and appearance, but... future was more important.

I still need to think carefully about this marriage after I return.

"Thank you, Master, for taking care of my girl." Yue Ran said with some concern.

They, the servants, were not allowed to board the pleasure boat, but she was really worried about the young lady doing so, so she could only ask Xie Luochen for help first.

Xie Luochen just nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Let's get on the boat first." Xie Luochen changed the subject.

"it is good."

Nan Yuan noticed what Xie Luochen was thinking, but she also knew that now was not the time to talk, so she could only temporarily suppress the uneasiness in her heart and followed Xie Luochen towards the pleasure boat.

But when Nan Yuan saw the whole picture of the pleasure boat, she was shocked and stopped in her tracks.

Isn’t this houseboat owned by Gu Jingheng?

She still remembered that in her previous life, Gu Jingheng had brought her here on this pleasure boat to enjoy the scenery, and they went to a house in the east...eastern suburbs!

Nan Yuan was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Isn't this Gu Jingheng's territory?

"What's wrong?" Noticing Nan Yuan stopped, Xie Luochen turned around and asked.

Nan Yuan pursed her lips to hide the panic in her eyes, and followed.

"It's okay, let's go."

Nan Yuan stepped onto the pleasure boat. After taking a few steps, she felt a cold gaze staring at her from behind, which made her feel creepy.

But when she looked back, there was no one there. Could it be that she was overthinking?

"Cousin, the wound on your forehead is quite serious. Let me apply some medicine on you first." Xie Luochen looked at Nan Yuan.

Even if their marriage could not be successful in the future, they were still cousins ​​after all, which was part of the reason why Xie Luochen stood up and spoke for her.

"Thank you, cousin." Nan Yuan nodded.

She keenly noticed that Xie Luochen's attitude towards her had changed a lot. Marriage is not only about whether two people are suitable for each other, but more about whether two families are suitable for each other.

She married Xie Luochen just to let him help her protect the family property. Even if Xie Luochen married her for no other purpose, he would never let her drag down the Xie family.

And from what happened just now, Xie Luochen must have realized that her relationship with the noble ladies in the capital was not good, which might affect his career.

He may have already started thinking about whether to continue with this marriage.

Nan Yuan concealed the emotions in her eyes and followed Xie Luochen into the pleasure boat, with a hint of doubt in her heart.

"Cousin, you seem to be very familiar with this pleasure boat."

It would be fine if she knew the structure of this houseboat, after all, she had been here in her previous life, but how did Xie Luochen know about it?

Xie Luochen found a secluded place, took out trauma medicine to treat Nan Yuan's wound, and then lowered his voice and said: "I bribed the servant guarding this house, and he took me in for a tour yesterday."

Hearing this, Nan Yuan became even more confused.

Xie Luochen did not keep the secret and said directly: "The Xie Palace looks prosperous on the surface, but my father is not an official in the court. He only occupies the title of a prince, but has no real power.

In the capital, anyone with a little bit of power, like Miss Lin San, has no respect for me or our Xie Wangfu."

Nan Yuan lowered her eyelashes, pondered Xie Luochen's words, and asked tentatively: "Cousin, you came here not only to go outing and have fun, but also to make friends so that you can enter the court as an official?"

Xie Luochen's eyes were emotionless, he just focused on wiping Nan Yuan's wound, and answered casually: "Yes, the Prime Minister's only son will come to the boat today, I thought I could take this opportunity to get in touch with him."

The prime minister’s only son?

"Shen Zhaixing?"

Nan Yuan frowned. She had heard Gu Jingheng talk about Shen Zhaixing in her previous life.

If she could help Xie Luochen get in touch with Shen Zhaixing, Xie Luochen would surely know that he is very valuable.

Then when he wants to cancel the engagement, he should think twice.

But how can he get in touch with Shen Zhaixing?

"hiss--"

Nan Yuan's thoughts were interrupted by the stinging pain on her forehead. She subconsciously tried to touch it, but Xie Luochen grabbed her hand.

"Don't touch it, I just applied medicine." Xie Luochen looked at the wound on Nan Yuan's forehead, which was red and swollen, and subconsciously blew on the wound.

Feeling the breath on her forehead, Nan Yuan raised her eyes and met his concerned gaze, feeling a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Xie Luochen smiled and said, "When I was a child, I bumped into something and that's what my mother did."

"Thank you, cousin." Nan Yuan thanked him.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that cold gaze again.

She subconsciously turned her head and looked behind her, but found nothing.
