unprepared

Su Huai really didn't understand why he had to blow cold wind in the yard in such a cold day, and pretended to be immersed in the beautiful scenery.

"Is it cold?" Yan Chen quietly walked to his side, raised his hand and flicked the plum branch above his head, and immediately the petals fell like rain, mixed with snowflakes, and fell on the two of them one by one.

The instigator was admiring Mr. Su's prosperous beauty in this situation, but Su Huai coldly shrank his neck, turned his head and slapped him on the arm, cursing: "You want to die?"

Yan Chen was neither in pain nor itching, and helped him to pat the snow out of his neck.

Mrs. Su was sitting on the porch with Mrs. Yang drinking tea and chatting, but her eyes were always glued to Su Huai and Yan Chen.

She could tell that Su Huai had been deliberately avoiding Yan Chen ever since he appeared, and he never took the initiative to approach, probably because of her own presence.

But Yan Chen was different, he clearly didn't take the matter of her breaking them that night into his heart.

"What happened to Mrs. Su?" Mrs. Yang said something but found that Mrs. Prime Minister was in a daze.

"Ah? It's nothing." Mrs. Su hurriedly took a sip from her teacup, pretending to be calm, "I see that the three young ladies of the Yang family are all beautiful and elegant. I don't know which young master of the Yang family will be so lucky to be your Yang family. son-in-law."

As soon as Madam Yang said this, she naturally understood what she meant, with a smile on her face: "I think the young masters of the Su family are all good."

"Miss fell into the water, come quickly!"

Just as Su Huai was thinking of keeping a distance from Yan Chen, a cry for help suddenly came from the arch bridge not far away.

The two looked at each other and hurried over.

The arch bridge is relatively short and the ground is slippery. It is not impossible to fall into the water from such a place.

The small ponds at home are usually relatively shallow. If it is summer, there is no danger. The bad thing is that the weather is cold now, and the water surface is covered with thin ice. Let alone falling into the ice hole, put your hand into the water I'm afraid I'll have to freeze my fingers.

After hearing the news, the people who came here had already surrounded the arch bridge tightly. It is conceivable that everyone was worried, but none of them dared to go down to fish for people.

The servants of Yang's mansion found a long pole, but the eldest lady of the Yang family, who was already frozen to the point of unconsciousness, had no energy to stretch out her hand in the panic, apart from panic and fear.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Huai pushed aside the servants who stood in front of him, as if he was about to jump down.

The people around him didn't have time to exclaim, he only felt his waist tighten, and he was thrown back vigorously.

"I come."

Yan Chen's voice rang in his ears.

Before Su Huai stopped the words, there was only a "plop", mixed with exclamations from everyone.

Yan Chen had already jumped into the ice hole.

It took a lot of effort to pick up the two people in the water, the eldest lady of the Yang family had already passed out, and was rushed to the wing by the people of the Yang residence.

When Yan Chen climbed up from the water, although he didn't faint, his pale blue face and trembling body still made Su Huai's heart tighten, and he hurriedly went up to him and took off the cloak on his body , wrapped people up in a hurry.

"Hurry up, call the doctor and send him to the Nuan Pavilion." Su Huai shouted.

Madam Su saw everything that happened here, but Yan Chen's situation was critical now, so it was not the time to worry about it.

The Yang family placed the savior, General Yan, in the Nuan Pavilion, and several doctors consulted one by one.

Fortunately, Yan Chen's health is relatively good, even if he catches a cold, there is nothing serious about it.

"He's all wet now, it's best to take a hot bath to relax, and then drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold." The doctor said.

"Thank you, doctor." Mrs. Yang didn't bother to go to see her daughter, but only learned from her servants that her daughter was fine, so she stayed by the Nuan Pavilion.

Mrs. Yang arranged maids and servants to wait on Yan Chen's bed, but Su Huai drove them all away: "Madam, you don't have to do this. I'll just stay and take care of him."

When Su Huai said this, his eyes were on Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su naturally disapproved of his behavior at the moment, but looking at Yan Chen lying on the bed with his eyes half-opened and seemingly unconscious, she unconsciously softened her heart: "Then you stay!"

After the hot water was ready and everyone left, Su Huai came to the side of the bed, squatted there, touched his forehead, and whispered, "Are you okay?"

Yan Chen blinked, indicating that he was fine.

In fact, his body is still numb to this day.

"To take a bath?" Su Huai said.

"Yeah." Yan Chen snorted softly, looked at him again and said, "I have no strength, I can't get up."

"I'll carry you." Su Huai said as he lifted the quilt.

Although Su Huai was not as strong as Yan Chen, but in order not to embarrass himself in front of Yan Chen, Mr. Su still gritted his teeth and carried him from the bed into the tub.

No, it was thrown in.

Really exhausted, Su Huai's throwing action was very ungentle, half of the bucket was full of hot water.

"Haha~" Yan Chen laughed weakly.

"Laughing fart." Su Huai gave him a blank look, then put his arms around the man's arm and lifted him up, fearing that the man would be drowned.

After soaking in hot water for a while, Yan Chen's body gradually regained consciousness, and the color on his face became less scary.

"Big brother."

Yan Chen hasn't called him that for a long time.

Su Huai was stunned for a moment before asking, "What are you doing?"

"What do you think of the three young ladies of the Yang family?" Yan Chen asked.

"It's pretty." Su Huai thought about it.

"Oh!" Yan Chen's voice sounded a little sullen.

"Oh what, which one are you looking at?" Su Huai pinched his neck from behind.

Yan Chen turned around to look at him, and said very seriously: "No, I won't change my mind for you."

"Tsk, don't say such things in the future." Su Huai coughed a little uncomfortably.

To be honest, he has never felt embarrassed to express his love to the person he likes, but whenever Yan Chen said these words to him seriously, he was always a little... er, shy.

"Did I make you unhappy?" Yan Chen's face, which had been steamed by hot water, was wet, and now he looked at him with drooping eyebrows, not to mention how endearing he was.

"No." Su Huai turned his head away from him, "I know what's on your mind, so I don't need to talk about it every day."

"Okay." General Yan's face turned from cloudy to sunny, and he suddenly thought of something to ask, "How is Fu Yutong recently?"

"Why are you asking about her all of a sudden?" Su Huai frowned. He knew that no matter how he persuaded Yan Chen, he still felt guilty towards Fu Yutong, so generally speaking, Yan Chen would not want to mention this person.

But today it is a bit strange to take the initiative to talk about it.

"I saw her on the way here today, with a man." Yan Chen said.

"A man?" Su Huai was surprised. I don't know if Fu Yutong's temperament was a bit withdrawn after experiencing the incident in Lvlin Village. He didn't get close to people in the prime minister's mansion, not to mention that he had acquaintances outside.

"Yes, a young man." Yan Chen said, "And I think the relationship between the two of them seems... pretty close."

Although the two of them didn't hang shoulders and shoulders, but the distance between the two of them when they walked made it clear that the relationship between the two was not normal.

"Ah? It can't be...she's a good friend!" Su Huai said.

Yan Chen shook his head: "I sent someone to follow, but I don't know if I can find out anything. You should pay more attention to her in the prime minister's residence recently."

Su Huai nodded.

Back at the General's Mansion at night, Cui Min was already waiting at the door of the study.

Yan Chen originally wanted to lie down and sleep, but when he thought of Fu Yutong, the uneasiness in his heart instantly magnified.

"How's the investigation going?" Yan Chen asked.

"Those two went to the chess club together, and then went to a restaurant." Cui Min said, "It seems that the two have a very close relationship."

"Who is that man?"

"The eldest son of the Qin family." Cui Min said.

"Which Qin family?"

"The Qin family of the three major families in Shuojing."

Yan Chen's expression was slightly chilled. If he remembered correctly, the mother and concubine of the sixth prince Yan Xiangnan came from the Qin family.

"General, Prince Wang, please see me." Someone said outside the door.

Yan Chen heard the words and said to Cui Min: "You go down first, please come in, Mr. Wang."

When Wang Xiao entered the door, his face was not very good-looking, Yan Chen rarely saw him like this.

"What happened?" he asked.

Wang Xiao didn't say much, and handed him the letter in his arms: "This is a secret letter from the spies. In the past month, there have been riots in five counties in Dashun. Although they were all suppressed by local officials, I think This matter is not that simple, do you want to report it to His Highness?"

Yan Chen unfolded the letter, and after reading it, he remembered Yan Zhizhou's attitude towards Dashun.

Although he has worked hard for the position of the crown prince and has made every step of the way, but when he thinks about it carefully, it seems that he is not only fighting for the throne, but trying to change the status quo of Dashun by himself.

"Secretly sent to Luoyue Pass, let's see how His Highness decides." Yan Chen said, "Does Su Huai know about this?"

Wang Xiao shook his head: "Your Highness said that all matters in Beijing must be handled by General Yan first."

"I see."

Su Huai has always been concerned about Yan Chen's condition, but the lady has been watching him very closely recently, and her posture seems to mean "if you dare to go one step further, I will tell your father about you".

So Su Huai didn't dare to confront the tough, but felt aggrieved and panicked.

It's not that I miss that person, nor that I'm particularly worried about his condition, after all, that person is as strong as a cow.

He is... well, he is rebellious, Mr. Su who is still rebellious in his 20s, the more others forbid him to do something, the more he wants to go against others.

So when the eldest lady asked him to meet the third young lady of the Yang family again, he finally couldn't help but exploded.

"I'm not going." At the dinner table, Su Huai said with a stiff neck.

The eldest lady frowned: "I have to go, the third lady is interested in you, and the two families are well-matched, so I think it's very suitable."

Su Ting was surprised by his mother's stubborn and tough attitude: "Mother, it's better to be happy with each other in this kind of thing, don't force your brother."

Although Su Qi didn't understand why, he felt that what the second brother said made sense, so he joined in the fun: "Yes, yes!"

"What do you know..." The eldest lady was visibly anxious, she was almost speechless, but fortunately she stopped in the end.

"Forget it, let it be if he doesn't like it!" It was Su Zhang and Prime Minister Su who spoke. It was rare that this stubborn old man would turn towards him, and Su Huai even looked at him in shock.

Then I heard Su Zhang continue: "The third girl of the Yang family is such a good girl, don't let him get into trouble!"
