Chapter 131 I'm so tired
Mei Chengan pinched her nose and guided her.
"With such a bad reputation, will Minister Lin still let your cousin marry him?"
Li Roujia shook her head to free her nose and grabbed his hand.
"Are you targeting an arranged marriage? But this is a marriage arranged by my uncle. It doesn't matter if Prime Minister Lin is not happy about it. It doesn't matter if my aunt is not happy about it either. It doesn't matter if my cousin is not happy about it either. Isn't this just wasting effort? The point is, why is the Crown Prince trying to sabotage it? What does this have to do with him? Although Fan Xian's status is a bit low, he is talented. I think he is a good match for my cousin."
Mei Cheng felt relieved that his status was not low, so he held her hand and smiled.
"They don't want you to feel, they want them to feel. The point is not whether Fan Xian and your cousin are a good match. Let me remind you that the root of the problem lies in the words your uncle added to this arranged marriage."
Li Roujia thought about it.
"Marrying my cousin will inherit the power of the inner treasury? Oh, I see. My aunt doesn't want to hand over the power of the inner treasury, and she is from the bloodline of the crown prince, so this matter is also closely related to the interests of the crown prince."
Mei Chengan gave a thumbs up.
"so smart!"
Li Roujia smiled embarrassedly, and then thought about the strangeness of the matter.
"That's not right. Shouldn't the normal thinking be to contact first, then recruit, and then take action if you can't recruit? Fan Xian just arrived in Kyoto, and he hasn't even sat down yet, but the Crown Prince has already sent people to take action. He's too impatient. It doesn't matter who controls the inner treasury. Wouldn't it be great if he could use it?"
Mei Chengan looked at her in surprise. Roujia's ability to find blind spots was too amazing. It was so amazing that he was surprised! Even astonished! This is a treasure girl.
After thinking about it, Mei Chengan said.
"You're right. As long as he can use it, it doesn't matter to the prince who controls the inner treasury. But it doesn't matter to him, but it matters to some people. For the prince, it's just a change of the person in charge of the inner treasury, but for the princess, it means she will lose the greatest power in her hands! From the most powerful woman in Kyoto to an ordinary woman in the palace, it's hard for her to accept it, so..."
Li Roujia took over the conversation.
"So, it's not the prince who's anxious, it's my aunt! Even if the prince doesn't want to do it, my aunt will force him to do it."
Mei Chengan snapped his fingers.
"correct!"
Li Roujia sighed.
"Hey, looking at the situation today, my cousin and Fan Xian are probably in love. How difficult it will be for my cousin to be caught between my aunt and Fan Xian!"
There was a pause.
"Brother Cheng'an, do you think that Auntie will stop attacking Fan Xian for the sake of my cousin?"
Mei Cheng'an burst out laughing. Not only could he do it, but he could do it with a fatal blow.
"You may have to ask the princess herself to get the answer."
Li Roujia waved her hands hurriedly.
"I won't go. She's the one I fear the most in the palace. Even though she's smiling, she always makes me shudder."
Mei Chengan patted her hands and said softly.
"Then let's not talk about her."
Li Roujia nodded, thought for a moment and asked again.
"If things develop in a bad direction, what should we do? After all, she is my cousin, and Fan Xian is Brother Cheng'an's friend."
Mei Chengan asked back with a smile.
"Your thoughts?"
Li Roujia put her finger on her chin and thought for a while.
"Well... of course I want to help my cousin, but I feel like I can't do much. If my aunt insists on doing what she wants, then there's basically no solution. No one can figure out what my aunt is thinking, let alone change her mind. What I can do, perhaps... is to find opportunities to spend more time with my cousin and talk about other things to divert her attention. What about you, brother Chengan?"
Mei Cheng'an rubbed her little head, let go before she got angry, and smiled.
"As for me, it depends on the situation. Sometimes I can't be too one-sided. If I want to help, I have to see if the other person needs it. If Fan Xian needs it, I will help him to the best of my ability! If the other person can handle it by himself, why should I interfere? That's why."
Mei Cheng'an stood up and stretched.
"Let's just wait and see what happens next."
Li Roujia nodded.
After Mei Cheng'an stretched his body, he accidentally saw the swing in the yard through the window. He had an idea and turned back to propose to Li Roujia.
"I've been sitting in the house for a long time. I see the sun is shining brightly outside. Do you want to go to the yard and swing for a while?"
Li Roujia's eyes lit up and her gaze burned when she heard that.
"it is good!"
……
Changxin Palace.
The prince drank the cup of tea and stood up to say goodbye. The eldest princess watched him leave with a smile.
The moment the prince disappeared, the eldest princess's face immediately darkened and she turned around to look at the maid.
"What is Wan'er doing at Prince Jing's Mansion?"
Lanxiang bowed slightly.
"Not only does His Highness dislike this arranged marriage, the young lady doesn't like it either. I heard that yesterday, accompanied by Ye Ling'er, she went to Fan Mansion to discuss the cancellation of the engagement with Fan Xian. Because Fan Xian went to Yishiju, she didn't go. Maybe she heard that Fan Xian would go to Prince Jing's Mansion to attend a poetry gathering today, so she probably wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Fan Xian in person about the cancellation of the engagement."
Hearing this, the princess's complexion improved a lot, and she thought for a while and said.
"Go to her place later and ask her if she has told Fan Xian about it, what Fan Xian's reaction was and how he responded. Also, tell her that I will help her find a way to cancel the engagement, so she doesn't have to worry."
"Yes!"
……
Royal Villa.
Ye Ling'er was wearing a red dress, sitting on the steps in front of the door, resting her chin on her hand, looking at the intersection on the left with eager eyes.
Suddenly, Ye Linger raised her head to look at the sunlight, then changed her arm and continued to look at the intersection with her chin resting on it, muttering something.
"This shouldn't happen. It's almost noon, and Wan'er should be back. What's going on?"
As he was speaking, a familiar carriage appeared at the corner of the intersection. Ye Ling'er's eyes lit up and she stood up.
Huh? Xiaoxi is not in the car to take care of Wan'er, but is following her outside the car. What a weird thing.
When the carriage stopped in front of the door, Ye Ling'er immediately went forward and saw the door curtain bulging. Wan'er was about to come out, so Ye Ling'er grabbed a corner and lifted it up.
"Wan'er, you are finally back. I've been waiting for you... Who are you?"
Fan Xian looked down at Ye Ling'er, who was dressed in red, and answered subconsciously, feeling a little confused.
"I'm Fan Xian, who are you?"
Ye Ling'er's pupils shrank.
"Fan Xian???"
Fan Xian scratched his head.
"Ah, have you heard of my name?"
Ye Ling'er used actions instead of answers.
Her hand turned into an eagle claw and grabbed Fan Xian's chest directly, while she shouted tenderly.
"Get down here! What did you do to Wan'er?"
Fan Xian leaned forward and reacted quickly, instantly leaning back from forward, while taking a few steps back to avoid Ye Ling'er's grab, then grabbed the roof of the carriage to steady himself.
"No, why are you all the same? You just attack me without asking any questions. What's wrong with you? I don't even know who you are, so you attack me."
Ye Ling'er raised her eyebrows, pointed at Fan Xian, and was about to continue scolding him when Lin Wan'er in the carriage spoke.
"Ling'er Ling'er, I'm fine. Fan Xian... specially sent me back home."
Ye Ling'er snorted.
"Even so, a man and a woman riding in the same car, he didn't consider your reputation at all. It's obvious that he has ulterior motives. What's more, he just dared to speak rudely to me. Wan'er, don't worry about it. I will teach this scoundrel a lesson for you."
As she spoke, Ye Ling'er took a step back, jumped onto the carriage, and slapped Fan Xian with her right hand.
Fan Xian was completely dumbfounded.
"Hey, no, don't do it first, damn it!"
Fan Xian jumped off the carriage and turned to run. Ye Ling'er's palm hit missed and she also jumped down and chased after him.
Lin Wan'er in the carriage became anxious and lifted the curtain and leaned out.
"Ling'er, don't do it, don't do it, you misunderstood!"
Fan Xian ran around the carriage and turned back to shout.
"Did you hear that? You crazy woman! Wan'er said it was a misunderstanding, so stop chasing her."
Ye Ling'er followed closely behind him, her eyes bloodshot.
"I don't care what misunderstanding you have. If you dare to call me a crazy woman, you are dead. Look at my palm!"
Fan Xian sped up instantly.
"I look at you, if you are not a crazy woman, then who is it? I will scold you, crazy woman, crazy woman, crazy woman..."
Ye Ling'er bit her lips in rage and chased after him madly.
Lin Wan'er stood on the carriage, turning around and looking at the two of them.
"Hey, stop running, stop now, what's going on, Ling'er...Fan Xian, stop cursing."
Fan Xian immediately shut up and shouted back.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Make this crazy... person stop!"
Lin Wan'er spoke immediately.
"Ling'er, Ling'er, please...please stop chasing him first, I will ask him to apologize to you!"
Ye Ling'er waved her hand.
"Wan'er, don't worry about it. This matter has nothing to do with you. This is a personal vendetta between him and me. I will not stop until I teach this guy a lesson."
Lin Wan'er was speechless. She was dizzy from spinning around continuously. Seeing that Ling'er was not making sense, she could only persuade Fan Xian.
"Fan Xian, you should go first. I'm already at my doorstep. Didn't you say you would just drop me off?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian ran while observing the gate of the royal villa. After memorizing it in his mind, he went around to Lin Wan'er.
"Okay, I'll leave first and come back to see you another day. Also, please try to persuade this crazy woman behind me..."
Lin Wan'er could no longer be seen, so he walked around the rear of the car and ran to the front. Only when Lin Wan'er reappeared in his sight did Fan Xian continue speaking.
"Tell her not to attack anyone like a mad dog. If it weren't for you and the fact that she's a girl, I would have fought back and beaten her into a pig's head."
Ye Ling'er was breathing heavily.
"Come on, if you have the guts, don't run away. Let's fight with real swords and guns. Let's see who can beat the other into a pig's head!"
Fan Xian snorted.
"Tsk, I'm too lazy to bother with you. I'm leaving first, Wan'er."
As he spoke, he waved to Lin Wan'er, accelerated again, and ran towards the intersection.
Ye Ling'er stopped chasing, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't do it anymore. She held her waist and gasped.
"This guy can actually speed up. He is really too fast! I am so tired!"
