He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Let’s talk about Xie Jingyan. After sending Yun Qi off, he returned to Mo Yuxuan.

Just as he reached the door and was about to enter the house, a secret guard appeared and reported, "Master, the Ministry of Revenue just sent someone to deliver a lot of things to the Yan Mansion."

Xie Jingyan asked, "Did you return them all?"

The dark guard said, "Not all of them have been returned, but the things sent by the Ministry of Revenue are more than enough."

Xie Jingyan only gave three days. The Ministry of Revenue had been preparing to send the things to Yan Mansion a few days ago, but the Concubine Chen was moved from Changchun Palace to the Funeral Palace, and Yan Zheng and Yan Qing'er also entered the palace to guard the body. The master of Yan Mansion was not at home, so the Ministry of Revenue did not send the things.

The concubine Chen was buried yesterday, and the Yan residence was no longer busy. The Ministry of Revenue did not dare to delay any longer, and quickly carried the things sent to the Ministry of Revenue from various mansions to the Yan residence.

Well, it wasn’t just Duke Mao who stole the confiscated items from Yan’s residence, there were others as well.

However, Duke Mao withheld the most.

The Queen Mother avoided Xie Jingyan's edge and did not even let the eldest prince compete for the position of crown prince, let alone those things. That evening, she asked Zhao Ma to pass a message to Duke Mao, asking him to send all the things to the Ministry of Revenue.

Duke Mao was very angry, but helpless. Xie Jingyan had a token given by the emperor, which allowed him to mobilize people from the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Censorate to investigate the case. Xie Jingyan was determined to insist that the things in the Yan Mansion were related to the case of Concubine Chen. If he really wanted to search Duke Mao's Mansion under the pretext of investigating the case of Concubine Chen, even the Queen Mother could not stop him.

What's more, the Queen Mother asked Nanny Zhao to pass on the message so late at night, and Duke Mao did not dare to turn a deaf ear to the Queen Mother's words.

When he searched the Yan Mansion, he confiscated several large boxes of things. The most valuable items were the calligraphy and paintings collected by Old Tutor Yan. However, most of them had been given away over the years in order to help the eldest prince win over court officials. It was not easy to get the things that had been given away back, and he was afraid that they would never be recovered.

After Nanny Zhao returned, she conveyed Duke Mao's words to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also knew that Duke Mao was not lying and that he was sincere to his nephew, the eldest prince.

But Prince Ling wanted to be serious and even deliberately caused trouble for Duke Mao's Mansion, and no one could stop him.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, the Queen Mother told Duke Mao to replace them with other calligraphy and paintings if possible, and to convert those that could not be replaced into silver.

All the things from the Yan Mansion that were still in the hands of Duke Mao had been sent to the Ministry of Revenue, as well as the calligraphy and paintings that had been sent to various mansions, but Duke Mao did not send anyone to ask for them back. Now that the Concubine Chen had overturned the verdict and Prince Ling had the opportunity to seize the throne, Duke Mao wanted to support the eldest prince, and it was not enough to win over those ministers. If he asked for them back at this time, it would just give those ministers an excuse to defect.

Duke Mao would not do such a stupid thing.

Duke Mao could only do as the Empress Dowager instructed. If calligraphy and paintings could be used as a substitute, they could be used. If calligraphy and paintings could not be used, they could be converted into silver notes.

Duke Mao was heartbroken by the repair.

Duke Mao returned the belongings of the Yan family that he had seized during the confiscation of property to the Ministry of Revenue. When the news spread, the ministers who had the belongings of the Yan family in their hands could no longer sit still.

Even Duke Mao had to spit out what he had eaten. He made up for what he couldn't spit out with other things. Others dared not return what they had borrowed from heaven, so they all sent their things to the Ministry of Revenue.

Not only were some of the Yan family's belongings sent to the Ministry of Revenue, but some of the things that had passed through their hands were also sent. After all, it was not worth it to offend Prince Ling for one or two things, so they just considered it as spending money to avoid disaster. They also followed Duke Mao's example and made up for it with other things. No one had expected that Concubine Chen could overturn the case back then, and the emperor wiped out all the charges against the Yan family, and returned the confiscated items to the Yan family.

It's normal to get something and then give it away.

This time, among the things that the Ministry of Revenue sent back to the Yan family, only a small part belonged to the Yan family, and most of them were repairs.

Xie Jingyan didn't say anything.

The lives of everyone in the Yan family were still lost, and there was nothing he could do. As for other things, he would not allow any of them as long as the Yan family would not suffer any loss.

The secret guard retreated and Xie Jingyan entered the house.

But when he entered the room and walked to the bedside and sat down, he heard the voice of the Prince of Yanping outside the room, "Brother Jingyan..."

The sound is extremely penetrating.

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan helplessly.

It was a rare occasion that Shen Wan acted coquettishly and asked him to accompany her. Just after seeing Yun Qi off and coming back, the Prince of Yanping and his men came again.

Shen Wan said, "He must have something to talk to you about, go quickly."

Xie Jingyan got up and went out.

As soon as he went out, he saw a scene that made him frown. He saw Prince Yanping and Tang Ze, each holding Du Cheng'an, standing in the yard.

Du Cheng'an's face turned red and he struggled to leave. It was strange that he could walk as the Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze were holding him up.

Xie Jingyan saw it and said, "Why are you holding him up for no reason?"

The Prince of Yanping sighed, "We don't want to put him in a difficult position. He is too shy and doesn't dare to ask you for help."

While the Prince of Yanping was speaking, Du Cheng'an struggled even more violently, and his face became even redder than a monkey's butt.

Although he had become much more thick-skinned after hanging around the Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze for a few months, he was not yet this thick-skinned. Seeing the maids and old women peeking at him, Du Cheng'an wanted to hide in the ground.

He knew that Prince Yanping and Tang Ze were willing to help, but they didn't want to force it. Couldn't they give him a few more days?

Xie Jingyan asked, "Why don't you ask me for help?"

Du Cheng'an hesitated and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Tang Ze was impatient and spoke for him directly, "It's about him asking to marry the girl from the Yan family. Princess Huyang and the Prince Consort felt that it was not appropriate for them to discuss this matter with Young Master Yan, so they asked him to come to you, Brother Jing Yan, and ask you to help propose to the Yan family."

Princess Huyang and her husband were also very worried about their son's marriage.

He first went to the Wang family to propose marriage, and then went to the Minister of Justice's Mansion, but neither was successful because the person he found was not the one who could decide Yan Qing'er's lifelong affairs.

Young Master Yan is Yan Qing'er's biological elder brother. He has full authority to decide Yan Qing'er's marriage, but there is no one in the Yan family who is of the same generation as Princess Huyang and her husband. When they come to their house, it always feels like they are bullying. Princess Huyang wants to ask the Minister of Justice to help propose marriage, but her husband thinks that Xie Jingyan is more suitable.

Xie Jingyan has half the say in Yan family affairs. If he agrees to help propose marriage, the marriage will be a sure thing.

Xie Jingyan didn't expect that Du Cheng'an wanted to ask him for help. He looked at Du Cheng'an and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Du Chengan shook his head quickly, "No, no..."

"Why don't you come to me and ask for help if you don't have any?" Xie Jingyan said.

"..."

Prince Yanping and Tang Ze looked at Du Cheng'an, "You are not really hiding something from Brother Jingyan, are you?"

"I remember that when he was pursuing the girl from the Yan family, he was punched by Young Master Yan," said Tang Ze.

"..."

Du Cheng'an wanted to die.

Are they helping him or hindering him?

He was originally afraid that Prince Ling would find out that he had accidentally kissed Yan Qing'er, and that Tang Ze would expose it.

Prince Bie Ling refused to help him propose marriage and punched him.

He was most afraid that Xu Chuan and Yan Qing'er were related. As a result, what he feared came true. Not only were they related, they were also the closest relationship in the world. They were siblings.

He not only has two cousins, Xu Ji and Ling Wang, but also several sworn brothers-in-law from the Wang family, and Yan Zheng, his biological brother-in-law.

The wind blew into his neck, and Du Cheng'an felt a chill in his heart.
