PFC Chapter 131 is the sister who stopped you from leaving yesterday.
Chapter 131 is the sister who stopped you from leaving yesterday.
If there were any ulterior motives, why would someone rush to leave before doing anything, and then want to go somewhere else to play?
Not really.
This person must have happened to stop over in Cihe County, found someone willing to pay him to do something, and followed along without hesitation.
Since they're the ones paying, and he only needs to help with networking in the capital to easily get paid, who wouldn't be happy with such a windfall?
Just as he expected, Si Yan was overthinking things!
This Xie Yaochuan is clearly just a playboy who only knows how to indulge in pleasure and is cynical. How could he have so many tricks up his sleeve?
The most crucial issue now is finding a way to closely connect them with the Wan family. Otherwise, once they part ways this time, there might never be another opportunity to contact the Xie family again.
When the county magistrate heard that Xie Yaochuan was about to leave, he was utterly incredulous. Wasn't this matter going to end abruptly before it even began? And would the only beneficiary be the Wan family?
This is absolutely not okay!
This Lord Xie Yaochuan, his advisor told him some inside information.
When Xie Yaochuan was in the capital, he often frequented brothels, sometimes staying for several days at a time, and he was even unwilling to attend the morning court sessions.
Perhaps we could start by looking for a solution from this angle?
The county magistrate hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xie Yaochuan, who was about to turn and leave, his face full of a fawning smile, and said, "Lord Xie, please wait a moment! Today, I am hosting a meal for you. Please do us the honor of joining us for a delicious meal before you continue your journey, shall we?"
-
Xie Yaochuan stepped into the room, and when his gaze fell on the girls, he suddenly fell silent. He wondered to himself: What's wrong with these girls? Have they all gone mad? Why are they always trying to force people to his side?
Upon seeing this, the county magistrate quickly rose to greet him, extending his hand towards the seat and inviting him to take a seat, saying, "Lord Xie, please take a seat!"
Xie Yaochuan saw through the county magistrate's thoughts at a glance, but did not reveal them. He simply raised his eyebrows slightly, then carried the little girl and walked straight to the high seat to sit down.
Xiao Yuxi curiously looked at the round-faced girl sitting in the first seat on the left, and whispered in Xie Yaochuan's ear, "Brother Yaochuan, that sister is the one who stopped you from leaving yesterday."
Xie Yaochuan looked in the direction Xiao Yuxi pointed, but he didn't have much of an impression of the girl.
Although it was disrespectful, he genuinely had a history of not being able to remember what these women looked like.
The round-faced girl noticed that Xie Yaochuan was looking at her, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red.
She stood up somewhat shyly, her face flushed, and said, "Young Master Xie, my daughter is Zhang Jiayuan, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. We just met yesterday."
The county magistrate seized the opportunity to interject with a smile, "Ever since my daughter had a chance encounter with Lord Xie in the capital, she has been thinking of you day and night and cannot forget you. Moreover, I have heard that Lord Xie is still unmarried..."
Xie Yaochuan interrupted him, "Lord Zhang may not be aware that the family has already arranged a marriage for Xie, and the wedding ceremony has already taken place. It's just that something happened in the bride's family, so we haven't told anyone about it yet."
The county magistrate's eyes widened in shock; he truly knew nothing about this.
This……
The county magistrate turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on his beloved daughter beside him, whose eyes were red and brimming with tears.
He knew perfectly well that his most beloved daughter was the one born to his first wife.
However, he found it difficult to consider Xie Yaochuan as an ideal marriage partner. Nevertheless, he could not resist his daughter's deep affection for him.
The Xie family is indeed an unapproachable and powerful family. Given the current status and position of the county magistrate, it would be extremely difficult to form a marriage alliance with them.
The county magistrate sighed helplessly, "Lord Xie, if you are willing, my daughter is willing to serve you as a concubine."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yaochuan couldn't help but feel a surge of contempt and mockery.
In reality, families of officials of the county magistrate's rank were not worthy of being in-laws with the Xie family. They were even unworthy of being his concubines.
Ultimately, it is the benefits brought by Cihe County that have made these people arrogant and oblivious to their true status.
Xie Yaochuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a half-smile, "I have only been married for a short time. If I were to secretly take a concubine at this time, wouldn't that be too unfair to my wife? Wouldn't such behavior be a bit too much?"
Xie Yaochuan's words directly demoted her from a concubine to a mistress, showing her absolutely no mercy.
Mu Yunchen's gaze lingered on the round-faced woman, and fragments of memories from his past life suddenly flashed through his mind.
He finally remembered her identity: Yan Hou's second wife.
It was quite unexpected that he would come from the small county of Cihe.
How could such a lowly official manage to send his daughter to Lord Yan's side and even get Lord Yan to marry her as his second wife?
There must be something wrong with this.
No wonder he only knew that Yan Hou married a woman from a brothel in his previous life; it seems that his identity was concealed.
Mu Yunchen rested her chin on her hands, blinked her innocent big eyes, and said in a childlike manner, "You are far inferior to Brother Xie's confidante. She is as beautiful as an angel. Brother Xie would never look at you!"
Xie Yaochuan's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Yun Chen, don't talk nonsense!"
Mu Yunchen feigned grievance and muttered, "I was just stating the facts. Can't I even tell the truth now?"
Xie Yaochuan shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alas, Yun Chen is spoiled in the Mu family and doesn't know any manners. I hope Lord Zhang will be more tolerant."
The county magistrate's lips twitched slightly as he forced a smile, inwardly cursing.
He absolutely could not afford to offend this third young master of the Mu family! So he quickly echoed, "Your Excellency is too kind. The child speaks without thinking, how could I possibly take it to heart?"
Just then, a soft rolling sound came from the wheels. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wan Siyan slowly entering the room in a wheelchair.
He looked up and smiled at Xie Yaochuan, introducing himself, "My name is Wan Siyan. My father is unwell and unable to come in person, so I will be the one to see you off, Lord Xie."
The county magistrate pursed his lips, and although he was dissatisfied, he still introduced him to Xie Yaochuan, "This man is Wan Peng's eldest son, Wan Siyan. Several years ago, he was injured in the collapse of the Imperial Porcelain Workshop in Cihe County, which made it difficult for him to move around."
Wan Siyan smiled as he looked at Xie Yaochuan and exclaimed, "Lord Xie is indeed as handsome as the rumors say, unmatched by anyone."
Looking at the smile on his face, Xie Yaochuan felt that this person was like a smiling tiger, and he couldn't see through him.
However, Mu Yunchen had told him about it last night.
