Chapter 497 You knew it a long time ago, didn’t you?
Kyoto Street
There are shops and lofts on both sides, small stalls and tea stalls. The busy streets are bustling with people and traffic, creating a prosperous scene.
"Sir, you are not well yet, you should go back."
On the street, Xiao Ke ran after Yan Chen with an anxious look on his face.
Yan Chen turned his head and said stubbornly: "I won't!"
After walking a few steps, I found a restaurant nearby. I was hungry, so I went in.
In the elegant seat on the second floor, Yan Chen was eating.
Ever since he was kicked out of the palace, he has been staying at home these days, asking Xiao Ke to inquire about Sister Ran's news from time to time.
Ever since he heard that Ji Yunxie was poisoned and almost died because of his sister Ran, Yan Chen felt angry and hateful.
He cursed Ji Yunxie several times for not wanting him to die. He smashed a lot of things and even made himself sick with anger.
Now that he had recovered from his illness, he felt bored and wanted to go out for a walk, but Xiao Ke stopped him, which made him very angry, and he ran out without caring about anything.
Xiao Ke stood beside Yan Chen, looking nervous and worried: "Sir, let's go back quickly after eating."
Yan Chen raised his head and glared at him: "If you want to go back, go back. I won't go back!"
"Humph!"
He turned his head and ignored Xiao Ke.
At this time, I heard the conversation of the nearby guests.
"Have you heard? Beichen Palace is going to hold a wedding."
"It is said that Prince Beichen is going to marry the eldest son of Prince Zhan's mansion, and the wedding will be held tomorrow."
Yan Chen froze, his hand that was picking up the food stopped in mid-air, and he turned his head away in disbelief.
Xiao Ke's face changed drastically: It's bad!
The conversation continued and guests at the adjacent table also joined in.
"Yes, I heard that King Beichen attached great importance to this wedding. He even ordered people to bring 100,000 red peonies from Luoyang and place them on the wedding road. A ten-mile red carpet was laid out. I heard it was a grand ceremony."
"Also, I heard that the betrothal gifts carried into Prince Zhan's palace weighed a thousand loads. A thousand loads!"
"Hi~"
Everyone gasped and was shocked when they heard this.
"Is this true? This is too exaggerated. For ordinary wealthy families, it is considered good to give a betrothal gift of 20 dan."
"I remember that last time a county lady got married, the betrothal gift was only 100 dan, but this one is 1,000 dan, which is ten times more than the county lady's." "It seems that the eldest son of the Zhan Palace is very favored, otherwise the betrothal gift would not be so heavy."
"Of course not. Didn't you see what our Prince Beichen did for the eldest son? He risked his life for his beloved son and even scolded Prince Zhan. He must really love him to vent his anger for him."
"That's true..."
"Snapped!"
Yan Chen put down his chopsticks angrily: "You...you are talking nonsense! Sister Ran will never marry that ugly guy!"
The other guests didn't understand why Yan Chen was angry for no reason and smiled.
"Young Master is an outsider, right? This matter has spread all over the capital. Just ask anyone and they will know."
Yan Chen shook his head repeatedly, unable to believe it: "No... No way~"
Xiao Ke looked worried, and nervously went forward to support Yan Chen and comfort him.
"Sir, don't listen to their nonsense."
Yan Chen fiercely waved away Xiao Ke's hand, his eyes bloodshot with anger, and questioned.
"You knew that already, didn't you?"
Xiao Ke choked: "I..."
Upon seeing his expression, Yan Chen laughed angrily.
"Good! Good! It seems like I'm the only one who's been kept in the dark!"
No wonder he stopped me from going out!
No wonder he was hesitant when he asked about Sister Ran!
It turns out that Sister Ran is about to get married!
Did he intend to keep it a secret from him forever because he didn't come out this time? !
Seeing the young master like this, Xiao Ke felt uncomfortable and scared, afraid that the young master would do something stupid.
"Son~"
"Snapped!--"
"Don't call me Master!"
Yan Chen angrily slapped Xiao Ke in the face, staring at him with resentment.
"You knew I liked Sister Ran, but you didn't tell me she was getting married. What were you thinking?"
