Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Yan Ci nodded, "Yes, I have some guesses in my mind, but I still need to meet my brother to be sure."

Xie Chengyin pondered for a while, then said slowly: "Hua Cishu is now imprisoned in the Dali Temple. It is not difficult to meet him. The difficult part is whether he will tell you the questions you ask."

Yan Ci understood what Xie Chengyin meant. Now she was just a person who had nothing to do with the Hua family. If the questions she asked were too important, given Hua Ci Shu's current situation, he might not reveal too much to her.

She looked relaxed, stretched herself and lay back in the chair, then said: "It's okay, you're still here, you have some friendship with him, and the question I asked is related to the Hua family, even if he is wary of me, he will tell you for the sake of the Hua family, and telling you is the same as telling me."

Xie Chengyin curled his lips, he really didn't treat him as an outsider.

"In that case, I will go to the Dali Temple to check the situation first. I will tell you when everything is arranged."

"it is good."

The matter of meeting Hua Cishu was settled. Yan Ci thought about how he saw Xie Chengyin reading the letter brought out from Prince Xiang's Mansion when he entered the room, and compared it with the calmness of Prince Xiang's Mansion, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Come to think of it, why haven't we heard any movement from Prince Xiang's mansion in the past few days? Could it be that Shen Zhaoyan hasn't discovered that the letter is missing?"

Xie Chengyin stood up and walked to the window, looking down from the upper floor, his eyes following the people passing by.

After a while, he turned around, leaning against the window frame, and said, "He must have discovered it a long time ago. The reason he didn't make it public was because he was worried that the Prime Minister's Mansion would find out. After all, without the evidence, it would be harder to control Prime Minister Xiao."

Yan Ci nodded in agreement.

Then Xie Chengyin said, "But the Prince Xiang's Mansion is not as peaceful as imagined. I heard that Xiao Yizhen and Shen Zhaoyan had a big fight on the second day of their wedding. I'm afraid Shen Zhaoyan has no time to take care of this matter."

These words reminded Yan Ci of what happened when he met Xiao Yizhen and Shen Zhaoyan in the palace today. No wonder there was so much hostility between the two of them at that time. It turned out that this was not the first time they had quarreled.

Yan Ci did not mean to gloat over other people's misfortune. Instead, he felt a little sorry.

From an outsider's perspective, as childhood sweethearts who grew up together, they had a deep emotional foundation and common interests. It was already a great thing that they could get married as they wished. Moreover, Shen Zhaoyan wrote three letters to the emperor to ask for Xiao Yizhen's hand in marriage before he got the emperor's consent.

But they got along harmoniously before they got married, so why did they quarrel again and again after they got married?

She heard Xiao Yizhen mention Yan Ru in her words at that time. Could it be that it was really someone else's interference that caused the rift between the two of them?

Somehow, Yan Ci looked at Xie Chengyin who was standing not far in front of her, and asked inexplicably: "Xie Chengyin, will you take a concubine in the future?"

Xie Chengyin was slightly stunned, suspecting that he had heard wrongly, "Take a concubine?"

Yan Ci nodded, "You heard it right, it means taking a concubine."

Xie Chengyin stared at Yan Ci for a long time, unable to guess what Yan Ci meant. Weren't they talking about Prince Xiang's Mansion just now? How did they suddenly get to the issue of taking a concubine?

Yan Ci's jumping thoughts caught him off guard.

He glanced at Yan Ci with a vague look and found that she was looking at him seriously, as if she was really waiting for an answer. He thought to himself: I don’t even have a wife, and I’m taking a concubine.

And his family has no tradition of taking concubines.

His father only married his mother, not just because his mother was a princess, but also because his father, as a prince consort, could not take a concubine. The main reason was that his father and mother had been married for more than ten years and had always been in love with each other. Their inseparable relationship could not accommodate anyone else.

He envied his parents' unconditional love, so he secretly decided that when he got married in the future, he would also live like his parents, with three meals a day and four seasons to support each other throughout their lives.

But his wife...

Xie Chengyin raised his deep eyes to look at Yan Ci, suppressed his infinite fantasies, and asked, "Do you want your husband to take a concubine?"

Yan Ci answered without even thinking: "Of course I don't hope so."

Who would be willing to share her husband with others?

With Shen Zhaoyan, a failed husband, in the past, Yan Ci has reconsidered the matter of marriage. If she gets married in this life, she must marry someone who loves her, has a handsome appearance, a good family background, and a clean backyard...

She was immersed in the fantasy of her future husband, and when she came to her senses, she found that Xie Chengyin had walked up to her without her knowing.

Yan Ci sat on the chair, looking lazy like a big sleeping cat, which formed a sharp contrast with Xie Chengyin who was standing upright.

Suddenly, Xie Chengyin leaned down, put his long arms on the back of Yan Ci's chair, and looked straight into Yan Ci's eyes.

I only heard him say cheerfully, "Then I can't."

At this moment, Xie Chengyin's eyes were as bright as stars, shining brightly. Being stared at by him in such a burning manner, Yan Ci's heart paused for a moment.

"Gurgle" Yan Ci couldn't help swallowing.

He said he couldn't? What couldn't he do?

Yan Ci's brain seemed to have crashed, and she could no longer think. Looking at the handsome face so close to her, she could not hear what Xie Chengyin said.

Looking at those lips opening and closing, I could feel my little heart beating rapidly, and a voice in my heart was clamoring non-stop.

Male beauty!

Tempting!

For Yan Ci, the allure of an abstinent man ranks first.

"Bang!" A voice came in as the door was slammed open.

"Brother Cheng Yin!"

The soft and charming voice suddenly pierced Yan Ci's eardrums, bringing her back to her senses. She pushed away Xie Chengyin who was looking down at her and stood up in panic.

The tenderness in Xie Chengyin's eyes faded away completely in an instant, and then a cold color filled his eyes.

He stood up and looked towards the door, and saw Zhao Yunlan, who looked stunned with a look of surprise.

Qi Cun, who was standing behind Zhao Yunlan, looked embarrassed and said, "I can't stop you..."

Zhao Yunlan looked at Xie Chengyin, then at Yan Ci. The surprise on her face was soon replaced by jealousy and anger. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Yan Ci.

"You! Didn't you say you didn't like Brother Cheng Yin? You clearly promised me to stay away from Brother Cheng Yin, but you went back on your word!"

She saw it all just now. The two of them were so close to each other. If she hadn't come in, they might have kissed each other.

The thought of this filled her with rage. This woman pretended to be weak and gullible, but in fact she was full of tricks.

Not only did she get punished to go to the temple, but she had just returned to see her pestering Brother Cheng Yin again.

Xie Chengyin narrowed his eyes slightly, and before he could speak, Yan Ci walked forward.

In front of Zhao Yunlan and Qicun, she leaned on Xie Chengyin's arms and looked at Zhao Yunlan provocatively, "You're right, I just went back on my word, what can you do to me?"
