The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Yang Fan was silent, but he was still cautious. He thought for a while and said, "What exactly do you want to do? No need to keep us in suspense."

"Mr. Yang, do you know that Prince Yuan is going to marry a concubine soon?" Xia Yanxiang suddenly brought up another topic.

Speaking of this, Yang Fan's eyes obviously darkened and he didn't say anything.

"It seems that Master Yang knows about this." Xia Yanxiang said after seeing his reaction, "But if I say that the tragedy of the Minister of Works was caused by His Royal Highness Prince Yuan and his concubine, can Master Yang believe it?"

Yang Fan didn't believe it and immediately denied her: "Don't talk nonsense, young lady. I know the concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Yuan. It's impossible for her to do such a thing. She can't do it either."

Xia Yanxiang knew that it would not be so easy to convince Yang Fan, so she chuckled and said, "That second girl is ruthless and cruel, and she treated her uncle's family the same way."

Yang Fan still didn't believe it.

"Although I am not very familiar with the Second Miss, we have known each other since childhood. The Second Miss is a considerate, gentle and kind person. She would never do such a thing!"

Yang Fan has admired Xia Pinxiang for many years. Although he and Xia Pinxiang have rarely met since his family fell into decline, in his heart, Xia Pinxiang has always been that gentle and lovely girl. How could his family's decline be caused by Xia Pinxiang?

"Then, Mr. Yang, do you know who reported to the emperor that there were problems with the Jiangnan Water Conservancy Project?" Xia Yanxiang threw out another question, "If I remember correctly, it was His Royal Highness Prince Yuan who reported it."

Yang Fan hesitated when he mentioned this: "Then, then His Royal Highness Prince Yuan has evidence after all. Although my family has never done such a thing, it is more likely that someone else framed us. But since His Royal Highness Prince Yuan has the evidence, it is normal for him to report it to the emperor."

Xia Yanxiang also sneered: "Humph, the doctor of the Minister of Works is His Royal Highness Prince Yuan's man, otherwise how did His Royal Highness Prince Yuan get the blueprints of the water conservancy project?"

"..." Yang Fan had doubts before and had told his father about it. However, his father was disheartened and didn't want to overturn the case for him, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

"Young Master Yang is a smart man, he must have considered these things." Seeing that Yang Fan was somewhat moved, Xia Yanxiang immediately followed up and said, "Otherwise he wouldn't have worked so hard to pass the palace exam, isn't it for the future of his family?"

Although this is the case, in the previous life, the Yang family never overturned the verdict, and Yang Fan became a sharp blade in King Yuan's hands. Yang Fan was an extremely intelligent person, and the decline of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion in the previous life was closely related to Yang Fan.

It would be a lie to say that Xia Yanxiang didn't hate him, but if she could change Yang Fan's mind in this life, maybe she could correct what happened in her previous life.

Moreover, talents like Yang Fan should not be used by people like Mo Fuyang. He should consider the country. Even if he cannot be recruited as a subordinate, it is good to prevent him from being used by Mo Fuyang.

Yang Fan was indeed moved, but it was indeed difficult for him to betray Xia Pinxiang, and he could not accept the fact that it was Xia Pinxiang who caused the downfall of their family.

Xia Yanxiang had said all she wanted to say. Before Yang Fan could make a decision, she said, "Young Master Yang should just take good care of his injuries. As for overturning the verdict, you can think about it carefully."

Yang Fan didn't expect that Xia Yanxiang was about to leave. He still had many questions in his mind and was about to ask Xia Yanxiang!

Mo Yuchen didn't expect this either, but he believed that Xia Yanxiang's behavior was based on facts. After all, Xia Yanxiang has never been an impulsive person.

Yang Fan looked up at Mo Yuchen and saw a look of approval, which made him even more confused.

But Xia Yanxiang didn't give him a chance to ask, she turned and left.

Mo Yuchen also followed her and left.

The door was closed again, and the sunlight was once again blocked out, as if covering up Yang Fan's originally sunny heart.

After walking a long way away from the house, Mo Yuchen asked, "Why don't you wait for his answer?"

"He is not an impulsive person and will not easily agree to our request." Xia Yanxiang had some contact with Yang Fan in her previous life and had some understanding of Yang Fan's character. "Now we have planted the seeds of doubt in his heart. When they sprout and grow, he will naturally be broken down."

Mo Yuchen was once again shocked by Xia Yanxiang's calmness, not only because of her understanding of Yang Fan, but also because she was now like someone who had worked her way through such calculations in the palace, cold-hearted, even more so, cold-blooded.

Xia Yanxiang didn't care about Mo Yuchen's opinion of her, nor did she notice the complexity of Mo Yuchen's eyes. Instead, she took off her purse and handed it to Mo Yuchen: "Here are some medicines that I always carry with me. If Your Highness Prince Luo has anything to ask, please be patient for the time being. Impatience can ruin a great plan. These medicines are very effective. In just half a month, Master Yang's injuries will be completely healed without any scars."

Mo Yuchen took it, and the complexity in his eyes faded away. He said jokingly: "Miss San cares so much about Mr. Yang?"

Xia Yanxiang was too lazy to pay attention to him: "Your Highness Prince Luo, think whatever you want! If Young Master Yang agrees to us this time, you will benefit, not me. It's up to you to decide whether to apply medicine to Young Master Yang. Please do as you please, Your Highness. I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, Xia Yanxiang said goodbye.

Mo Yuchen was left standing there alone, stunned by Xia Yanxiang's words. He came to his senses and chuckled at himself, "Why are you so angry?"

Xia Yanxiang's carriage returned to Shangyaotang, and then she left.

The carriage went forward for a while, and Xia Yanxiang seemed a little tired, so she leaned back and fell asleep in the carriage.

In order not to disturb her, Anzhi and Yukui got off the carriage.

When they were halfway there, Xia Yanxiang suddenly woke up, her eyes alert, and she secretly calculated the days in her mind. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quietly took off a hairpin from her head and held it in her hand.

As the carriage arrived at a deserted street, Xia Yanxiang's sleepiness had disappeared and her heart was beating rapidly in her chest.

Suddenly the carriage stopped, and Yu Kui outside the carriage shouted loudly: "Who are you? How dare you stop the general's carriage!"

Xia Yanxiang thought, is it true that what is coming cannot be avoided?

In fact, it was also her fault. She didn't check the date when she went out. It was also because she had been living too comfortably these days that she had actually forgotten about this day.

"Yukui, what happened?" Xia Yanxiang asked calmly.

Yukui replied, "Miss, he is a drunkard, no problem."

"Hurry up! This is the general's carriage!" Yu Kui shouted again.
