This courtyard is not big. After walking in, you can almost see the structure inside clearly at a glance, and there are not many servants in this house, probably a woman, a maid, and a man.
The yard was brightly lit, the house was carefully decorated, and there were clusters of hydrangeas planted in the yard.
When Chen Yan looked around the yard, she was also waiting for the owner of the house to come out. However, she didn't wait for that person to come out, and she didn't see a few guests who came home late like herself.
Seeing this situation, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
After all, if the owner of this house doesn't come out, how will she know that she hasn't been cheated? And there are no other guests here.
When the woman saw Chen Yan looking around, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl. Our master is not at home today. You can rest here for the night before going back."
When Chen Yan heard this, she asked in a low voice, "Why are there no other guests in your house? Didn't you say there are other guests staying overnight?"
The maid did not expect that Chen Yan would say such a sentence after a while, and the maid was immediately embarrassed.
"We had other guests staying here before, but today there is only the girl."
Hearing the maid's answer, Chen Yan curled her lips.
As expected, there was not a word of truth in this man's mouth, and he couldn't be believed at all.
But she didn't give up and immediately asked, "What's your master's name? Maybe I know him."
After hearing Chen Yan's words, the maid's face was obviously embarrassed.
"Master...it is inconvenient to disclose the name of the master. Please forgive me, girl."
This time the maid said this bluntly.
Just at this time, dinner was being prepared in the kitchen, and the maid immediately wanted to change the subject, "Girl, dinner is ready. You haven't had dinner yet, why don't you come with us to eat something first."
Hearing this, Chen Yan felt that this woman was even more suspicious.
After all, how did she know she hadn't had dinner? It was getting late, and maybe she had already eaten. But since he was so sure that he had not eaten breakfast, there was only one possibility. She had been following him. Otherwise, how could she know that he had not eaten? It's breakfast.
Thinking that she had been targeted a long time ago and that she didn't know the identity of this group of people, Chen Yan suddenly felt scared. Almost before the other party spoke first, Chen Yan wanted to run away.
Being in the same room with this group of people of unknown origin, he might not be safe from being caught by the Jinwu Guards.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan wanted to leave.
But she couldn't leave right away, so she just said awkwardly, "You guys go first. I suddenly remembered that I left something outside. I'll get it and come back."
After saying this, Chen Yan turned around and wanted to run out of the yard.
However, before she could run a few steps, a familiar call came from behind her, "Yan'er."
Hearing the call, Chen Yan turned around in embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw a familiar person.
The man was dressed in green clothes and had a tall figure.
Although his appearance had lost some of its appearance, Chen Yan still recognized him at a glance.
After Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, she finally said, "Ye Ronglian?"
"So it's you, is this your current residence?"
When asking questions, Chen Yan only looked at Ye Ronglian again.
Ye Ronglian nodded.
After retaining Chen Yan, Ye Ronglian only returned to her initial indifference.
He said calmly, "Don't worry, no one will abduct you here. You can stay in the wing next to me and sleep for one night. You can go back early tomorrow morning. No one will stop you."
After Chen Yan saw that it was the other party, the panic in her heart naturally disappeared. She didn't think that Ye Ronglian would be harmful to her. After all, if he really wanted to do something to her, he could have done it long ago.
So she doesn't have to worry about what will happen to her in this house.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but say to Ye Ronglian, "Thanks to you today, Mr. Ye, thank you very much."
"There's no need to thank me. My maid just happened to see you. She took it upon herself to take you in and it has nothing to do with me."
Unexpectedly, Ye Ronglian was only in love with Tsundere at this moment.
However, Chen Yan did not intend to expose the other party.
After all, she knew that Ye Ronglian had feelings for her without him having to tell her.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so happy to take out five thousand taels to help himself at that time, let alone guarding himself at this stall.
So if he has no feelings for himself, then he is not the kind of person who likes to do charity.
It's just that he refused to explain clearly at the moment, and Chen Yan had no intention of exploring whether he still liked her.
After all, in her opinion, things like romance can only be indulged in when you are too full and have nothing to do.
However, it doesn't matter what she wants now, and she has a large family to support. If she continues to focus on love at this moment, she would be really stupid.
Although she has some love brain, she still feels that love should be based on material foundation.
If there are no good material things, then falling in love will not be a pleasure but a torture for her.
After all, feelings are very fragile in human nature.
Let's talk about a relationship when a person is at his most impoverished and most out of position. The result must be tragedy.
And Ye Ronglian seems to have his own difficulties. Maybe this is the best way he can think of at the moment. So since Ye Ronglian didn't want her to know her feelings, she could just pretend that she didn't know anything.
Thinking of this, she only said to Ye Ronglian and the maid who brought her here, "Okay, I'll thank you. After all, without your maid to bring me here, and without you willing to take me in, I might have been taken by Jin Wuwei at this moment." I’m leaving, so to put it bluntly, I should still thank you two.”
After saying this, Chen Yan didn't give Ye Ronglian a chance to perform. Then she just touched her stomach with her hand and said, "Speaking of which, I'm really hungry at the moment. Let's go eat quickly."
After the words fell, Chen Yan took the initiative to go to the living room.
Ye Ronglian had unfinished words, but looking at Chen Yan who didn't look back, he finally swallowed all the unfinished words silently back into his stomach.
He followed Chen Yan and only whispered to the maid, "Let's eat."
The maid was also a little dissatisfied, but the master didn't say anything, and naturally they, the slaves, couldn't say anything either.
Although they were sitting across from each other during this meal, Chen Yan also found that the things on the table were all her favorite foods. However, because Chen Yan was pretending to be dumbfounded, and the other person couldn't express his love for you, the two of them... The person actually ate this meal very peacefully.
Ye Ronglian just asked casually, "Why did you come to Wangliufang?"
Facing Ye Ronglian's inquiry, Chen Yan still had some intentions. In addition, since the matter had not been completed, she did not want to share her secret too early, so at the moment she could only pretend to sigh and said, "My family is poor now." I can’t get rid of the problem, there are no good jobs in Zhuque Street, and Wangliufang is either rich or expensive, so I thought of trying my luck here to see if there are any good jobs I can do.”
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Ye Ronglian couldn't help but said in advance, "Didn't I give you five thousand before? Why did you spend so little time?"
Facing Ye Ronglian's scolding, Chen Yan said helplessly, "I took all the money to pay you back. I borrowed five thousand just to lend you the ransom money, not to mention the previous expenses, so the money you borrowed from me The money was actually spent the moment you borrowed it from me."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Ye Ronglian only lowered her head, and Chen Yan obviously realized that what she said at this moment was somewhat ambiguous, so she just continued to wave her hands nonchalantly and said, "Look, what I'm saying is... What are you talking about? But it’s a good thing you didn’t agree to let me redeem my life, otherwise I would really not be able to repay the foreign debt of 10,000 taels of silver. If you follow me then, you will have no choice but to suffer from the northwest wind."
Faced with Chen Yan's cover-up, Ye Ronglian just hummed slightly, and then he whispered, "How much more money do you need now?"
Chen Yan obviously didn't expect Ye Ronglian to ask this.
She was stunned for a moment. After a moment, she smiled and said, "What? You still want to give me money? What is your request this time?"
Ye Ronglian just said in a calm voice, "I have no requirements for you."
Hearing this, Chen Yan was a little stunned, but after a moment, she laughed again and said, "It's still good for you to criticize people, but I don't need it anymore."
Ye Ronglian asked in a low voice, "Why?"
Chen Yan also said, "Because I want to make money on my own, but if you really want to help me, you can help me pay attention to the jobs nearby and see if there are any other easy and high-paying jobs nearby."
When Ye Ronglian heard what Chen Yan said, she was just unhappy and said, "There is no such a good job in the world, and I don't have time to help you pay attention."
Chen Yan was not surprised by Ye Ronglian's answer. She raised her shoulders and said, "But since you don't want to help, forget it."
After the words fell, Chen Yan obviously didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic. After all, she didn't plan to get anything from Ye Ronglian, and she didn't want Ye Ronglian to know too much about her.
So she just changed the topic and said, "By the way, weren't you always in Fenghuafang before? Why are you here in Wangliufang now? Could it be that Princess Luojia successfully redeemed your life and placed you here?" Where?"
After saying this guess, Chen Yan only felt that her guess was very reasonable, but Ye Ronglian said expressionlessly, "I have left Fenghuafang. It was not Princess Luojia who redeemed my body for me, but the eldest princess. "
Hearing this, Chen Yan finally felt a little surprised. She obviously did not expect that Ye Ronglian's choice after giving up on herself would be the eldest princess.
Although the eldest princess is powerful and has plenty of money, she is decades older than him, and she is surrounded by many male favorites. It is obviously not a good choice for him to stay with the eldest princess.
But then I think about it, what qualifications do I have to comment on his life.
After all, I can't give him anything now.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan could only say sadly, "It doesn't matter if you choose the eldest princess. The eldest princess is powerful and famously generous to male favorites. It would be great for you to stay with her."
