From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

How to stop Ningyue from marrying?

This is a difficult problem.

Because this unequal marriage is the inevitable choice of the Xue family due to their financial difficulties, and it is also the direction of the Xu family's interest in getting in touch with the Xue family's background. This is in line with the demands of the two families, and outsiders cannot interfere at all.

To really stop this, we can only destroy this common interest.

How to destroy it? We can only let Fengminglou withdraw from Yunzhou.

So Zhou Yuan thought of the fragrant mushrooms in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian. This thing has become a delicacy in the previous life, but the cooking methods of this era cannot remove the toxins in it at all.

If people eat it, it will be food poisoning, at least the stomach will hurt for a whole day, and diarrhea is inevitable.

As long as this happens, Fengminglou will definitely not be able to operate, and can only withdraw from Yunzhou.

This is Zhou Yuan's plan.

For this reason, he sent Mingrui to Wuyi Mountain for hundreds of miles to purchase fragrant mushrooms, and specially found Guan Tianci, the guard of the Xue family, and asked him to spread the news of the fragrant mushrooms.

At the same time, through Guan Tianci's control over Baiyan Tower, he used the cook to "tell" Xu Guangchen's people about the cooking techniques.

In order to fool the other party, Zhou Yuan also pretended to be arrogant and asked Ningyue to pretend to be confident.

So, after many designs, today is here.

As for the arrival of Jinyiwei Zhenfushi and Qianhu, Zhou Yuan did not expect it. It was just a coincidence that added a code to the mushrooms in Fengming Tower.

At this critical moment, the rebellion of Wushengjiao was even more coincidental.

It seemed that fate was going to destroy the Xu family, and Zhou Yuan could not control it.

He didn't need to care so much anymore. What rebellion and food poisoning had nothing to do with him.

He only knew that the Xue family would never marry Xue Ningyue to the Xu family again, let alone being a concubine, it was impossible to be a wife.

The goal has been achieved, Ningyue is safe.

Zhou Yuan held her, strode out of Fengming Tower, and got directly on the prepared carriage.

"Hurry, go to Baihua Pavilion."

Also located in the most prosperous section of Yunzhou, Baihua Pavilion is only two streets away from Fengming Tower and can be reached in a few minutes.

Xue Ningyue leaned quietly in Zhou Yuan's arms, staring at this well-defined face infatuatedly, and tears could not stop flowing out for a while.

Zhou Yuan smiled gently, wiped the tears from her face, and pinched her smooth little face.

"Hold it for a while, just go to Baihua Pavilion, there are medicines prepared there, and hot water for bathing is also ready."

Hearing Zhou Yuan's care, Xue Ningyue couldn't help but lean closer to Zhou Yuan, and said gently: "Brother Zhou, you finally saved Ningyue from the fire pit, you are Ningyue's benefactor."

What a foolish thing to say.

Zhou Yuan scratched her nose and said with a smile: "How are you going to repay me?"

Xue Ningyue didn't think he was joking. Her eyes were gentle and firm: "Ningyue is willing to do anything for Brother Zhou, even if her soul is broken and her flesh and blood are separated, she has no regrets."

Zhou Yuan covered her mouth and whispered: "Don't say such stupid things. If you believe me, I will never let you down."

"Puff..."

The strange sound and the bad smell broke the beautiful atmosphere.

Xue Ningyue's face flushed instantly, and she buried her head in Zhou Yuan's chest. She didn't know whether it was moved, shame, or the release of suppressed emotions for so many days. She cried out and trembled all over.

Zhou Yuan just gently stroked her thin back, without saying anything, giving her time to digest.

Soon, Zhou Yuan's clothes were wet with tears, and the carriage stopped.

"Ningyue, we're here."

"Hmm..."

Xue Ningyue hummed softly, raised her head and looked at Zhou Yuan coquettishly, then buried her head with a whimper.

There was no way, it was too embarrassing to have such a thing happen in front of the person I loved the most.

Zhou Yuan didn't care about anything else, just picked her up and strode to the Baihua Pavilion.

Cai Ni came out to greet her in person, and seeing Xue Ningyue's state, she smiled slightly and said, "Don't be afraid, dear sister, I've prepared a fragrant soup for you, go and relax."

She waved her hand and said, "Xiaochan, take Miss Ningyue to wash up and prepare a new set of clothes for her."

"Yes."

The little maid took Xue Ningyue, who was already embarrassed, into the embroidery building.

Zhou Yuan also sat down comfortably and breathed a long sigh of relief. After so many days of layout and planning, he finally completed it without any danger.

Now he feels extremely relaxed!

He took a sip of the tea, squinted his eyes and praised: "Good tea!"

Cai Ni pouted and said: "The tea is good, but the person is so ordinary."

Zhou Yuan turned around and said: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Cai Ni snorted softly and said: "Otherwise, why would the young master not like Cai Ni and like Xue Ningyue instead."

Oh oh oh, the love-brained person is jealous!

Zhou Yuan immediately grabbed her little hand, hugged her into his arms, and smiled: "This is the first time I see Miss Cai Ni getting jealous, she is so cute. "

Cai Ni blushed and tilted her head and said, "I am not jealous, I just think you are partial to me."

Zhou Yuan said, "How am I partial to me?"

Cai Ni was not confident and whispered, "For her, you have done everything you can, from purchasing for hundreds of miles to setting up traps to lure people into the trap..."

"The key is! The key is that you still carried her upstairs!"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Will I carry you next time? But I'm afraid your suitors will beat me up. Now half of the scholars in Yunzhou regard Fairy Baihua as their confidante."

Cai Ni raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's see who dares to touch you! My sword is not vegetarian! Hey! Don't...ah..."

Feeling the big hand coming, Cai Ni suddenly felt weak all over and said anxiously, "You are unreasonable, bullying Cai Ni like this. "

Zhou Yuan smiled slowly and said, "Okay, don't be angry. Miss Cai Ni is the Fairy of Flowers. She is beautiful and has a great body. How can you not like her?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Cai Ni's lips. She tried to hold it back and said softly, "You liar, you only know how to coax me."

Zhou Yuan said, "Then how about I hold you for three days and three nights?"

Cai Ni blushed and said softly, "Three days and three nights, wouldn't my arms be sore? One day will be enough!"

Cai Ni's face turned red and she said softly, "Three days and three nights, wouldn't my arms be sore? One day will be enough!"

Come on, hold me for a day, you think I'm made of iron!

But Zhou Yuan didn't dare to refute at this moment, he could only take action to attack, all the way down.

"Hey, don't do it, sir!"

Cai Ni quickly held Zhou Yuan's hand, ashamed and angry, and tremblingly said, "Bad guy, I have no strength left, you...you go to see Miss Ningyue! She should have finished her bath."

Zhou Yuan blinked and said, "Aren't you jealous anymore? "

Cai Ni's eyes were blurred, and she said infatuatedly: "Cai Ni knows the young master's feelings very well, how can she make the young master unhappy, go quickly, that sister needs you more now."

"Sensible!"

Zhou Yuan kissed her on the face and said, "I'll go see her."

Cai Ni hummed, a sweet smile appeared on her face, looking at the tea that Zhou Yuan had not finished drinking, picked up the teacup and drank it.

She tilted her head and thought, if the young master hugged me like this in front of the world one day, how great it would be!
