With that said, Lin Zeyuan took Yue Yiyi's hand again, "Yiyi, this time you help me tide over the difficulties. As soon as I enter the court, I will marry you immediately. At that time, the wealth and power will all be ours!" "

Yue Yiyi looked at Lin Zeyuan, thinking quickly in her mind, and nodded after a moment.

Two thousand taels of silver was almost all of Yue Yiyi's savings. Seeing the other party eagerly taking it, Yue Yiyi felt unhappy in her heart, but she restrained herself and looked at Lin Zeyuan with tender eyes.

"Brother Yuan, I'll wait for you at Fujin Tower."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come to see you again." Lin Zeyuan nodded seriously.

Soon, after handing the money to the mother in charge and breaking the contract, Lin Zeyuan left Fujin Tower.

Walking on the street, thinking of the mocking looks from his mother in charge and the boy in the building just now, Lin Zeyuan secretly swore in his heart that when he entered the court, he would definitely avenge today's humiliation.

Although such scandals have occurred, in Lin Zeyuan's view, as long as the engagement has not been terminated, the Hou Mansion is still his best way to climb the ladder.

After enduring the unhappiness and hatred in his heart, Lin Zeyuan arrived at the Hou Mansion again.

When the servant reported the news to Chu Huanyan that he was standing at the gate of the Hou Mansion and unwilling to leave, Yun Chen happened to have just finished reporting the previous situation of Fujin Tower.

"How could there be such a shameless person!" Xian Yue yelled angrily, "After all, he still wants to take advantage of Miss!"

Chu Huanyan slowly drank a cup of tea and said, "Why not? After all, the aristocratic family values ​​face the most. He is sure that I will not terminate the engagement with him at this juncture because of this matter."

Otherwise, if word gets out that the legitimate daughter of the Hou family has such a fiancé, it will only be embarrassing.

"Miss, are we so helpless?" Xianyue's face wrinkled.

Chu Huanyan did not answer Xian Yue's question, but just smiled and said: "Let him come in."

When Lin Zeyuan was brought to Chu Huanyan, the latter was already half-reclining on the soft couch, his face turned pale, and at first glance, he did look like he was ill.

As soon as he saw Chu Huanyan, Lin Zeyuan immediately explained, saying that he had never thought of contracting a brothel girl.

As for the contract, it was because he was deceived by a friend he met at a poetry party. After refusing, he followed the invitation to the brothel. Under drunkenness, he signed the contract in a daze.

"So, you and that girl Yiyi are not romantically involved?" Chu Huanyan frowned and looked at Lin Zeyuan.

Seeing the other party nodding, Chu Huanyan asked again: "But why did I hear that you are her regular customer?"

"I only met her a few times in Yueyang. It was too pitiful to see her wandering around in the world. After we met by chance, she repeatedly asked me to teach her poetry, so we only met occasionally. It was definitely not a man or woman. Feelings."

Lin Zeyuan frowned and spoke in a deep voice, his back straight, looking innocent.

Chu Huanyan held back her smile and looked at Lin Zeyuan seriously, "Seriously?"

"Seriously, I can swear by my ancestors." Lin Zeyuan said with certainty.

After a while, Chu Huanyan looked back and said, "So that's it."

Seeing that Chu Huanyan seemed to believe it, Lin Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Yan'er, I..."

"Actually..." Chu Huanyan interrupted Lin Zeyuan and smiled a little, "Actually, if you and that girl Yiyi are really in love, I won't be able to help you."

"Yan'er, what do you mean by this?" Lin Zeyuan was stunned.

Chu Huanyan sighed, "I don't want to do anything evil to destroy lovers. If you two really have a heart-to-heart, I can help you redeem her from the brothel, which can also be regarded as saving that girl from the sea of ​​misery."

"Yan'er, what nonsense are you talking about? The two of us are engaged, how can you push me to someone else?"

"The engagement is not irrevocable, but don't worry, even if the engagement is terminated, I will still try to help you enter the court, just like helping the son of an old friend of the Hou Mansion. Of course..." Chu Huanyan's gaze fell directly on Lin Zeyuan's face. "The premise is that you are willing, Huayou, and you really have a deep love for that girl Yiyi."

Lin Zeyuan looked at Chu Huanyan suspiciously, and his heart moved for a moment, but then he doubted the authenticity of Chu Huanyan's words.

"Yan'er, don't make such a joke with me anymore!"

"I'm not joking. If you don't believe me, I can swear to God." Chu Huanyan's expression and tone were all serious, and there was really no sign of deception.

Lin Zeyuan stared at Chu Huanyan, with an undercurrent surging in his eyes. After a moment, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Huanyan, stop joking, I am from a government official background, how could I possibly like that lowly brothel girl!"

"Lowly?" Chu Huanyan frowned, "But after all, she is an old acquaintance of you..."

"so what."

Lin Zeyuan interrupted Chu Huanyan's words without hesitation.

"Don't say it's just an old acquaintance, even if it's my childhood sweetheart who is now a prostitute, I will never have anything to do with her again. A scholar's reputation comes first. If you marry a prostitute, won't you become the laughingstock of others?"

Regardless of whether Chu Huanyan's words just now were true or false, he couldn't gamble.

Now that he has not entered the court, only by firmly holding the engagement contract can Chu Huanyan help him with all her heart!

Chu Huanyan looked at Lin Zeyuan silently, and after a while, she spoke softly: "It seems that it was unnecessary on my part. Just pretend that I didn't say anything just now."

Lin Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said many coaxing words.

It wasn't until Chu Huanyan said she was tired that Lin Zeyuan told her to have a good rest and would visit again tomorrow.

When Lin Zeyuan disappeared, Chu Huanyan got up from the soft couch and went to the next room.

Yun Chen heard the footsteps and opened the door from inside.

Standing in the room at this moment is Yue Yiyi, who was just said to be a lowly brothel girl.

Seeing Chu Huanyan coming over, Yue Yiyi immediately looked at her with resentful eyes.

"Miss Chu asked someone to arrest me just to make me listen to what she just said?"

"Miss Yiyi misunderstood." Chu Huanyan shook his head and looked at her, "I really want to confirm whether you two are in love. If that is the case, I will make it happen for you."

Yue Yiyi sneered, "Miss Chu, do you think I will believe it?"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Since Zeyuan doesn't have you in his heart, I don't need to know what you think."

After saying that, Chu Huanyan ordered to Yun Chen: "Send Miss Yiyi back and give her another fifty taels of silver as an apology."

"Yes." Yun Chen responded with cupped hands.

Yue Yiyi's face was gloomy, and she was extremely angry because of Chu Huanyan's condescending attitude.

Seeing her turning around to leave, he suddenly spoke loudly: "Are you really sure that what he just said was true!"

Chu Huanyan stopped and said, "Of course not."

"then you……"

"But you can't be sure either. What he said must be a lie, right?" Chu Huanyan raised her lips and smiled.

Sometimes, neither pure truth nor pure lies are terrible.

The scary thing is that because it is impossible to be completely sure, there will always be a trace of doubt in the darkness of my heart.

What if it's true?

What if it’s true!

All the expressions on Yue Yiyi's face froze in an instant.

She hated Chu Huanyan's gaze so much.

Countless words came to her mouth to fight back, but deep in her heart, suspicion emerged uncontrollably.

Lin Zeyuan could demean himself like this in front of others behind his back. Is his love really reliable?
