Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

As far as Yan Ci knew, this girl from the Yang family, named Yang Huating, was the only daughter of Yang Chong'an, a Grand Secretary, and was once a popular figure in the Eastern Capital.

Not only is she talented, but she is also born with fair skin, beautiful features and a charming demeanor. She is a famous beauty in Dongdu City. Originally, due to her family background and appearance, she was chosen by all the good men in Dongdu.

But when her family was looking for a marriage partner for her, news spread that she was having an affair with someone without a matchmaker. In the end, she had to marry the son of an unknown wealthy businessman. It was said that the man was not only stupid but also extremely ugly.

It is just like the saying goes, flowers are stuck in cow dung.

The once favored daughter of heaven was reduced to rubble in the ground, no longer having her former glory.

While Yan Ci was sighing with regret, he was also pondering Zhao Yunlan's words "find another marriage", and it only took him a moment to understand the deep meaning behind them.

It seems that it was Zhao Yunlan who caused Yang Huating to lose her virginity and then marry such a despicable person.

It is true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.

Yan Ci originally thought that Zhao Yunlan was just a little girl who was a little willful and domineering, but now he sees that beneath this seemingly cute appearance, there is an unknown cruelty.

She knew very well how important reputation was to a woman, but as a woman herself, she attacked at the most critical point and mercilessly pushed a woman into an abyss from which there was no escape.

Not to mention that Yang Huating is most likely an innocent person, even if she really likes Xie Chengyin, what's wrong with that?

Xie Chengyin was not Zhao Yunlan's property, and no one else could look at him, think about him, or touch him.

Yan Ci suddenly had a new understanding of the woman in front of him who was smiling harmlessly.

At this moment, Zhao Yunlan was no longer the cute girl that Yan Ci saw for the first time.

She lowered her eyes, held the teacup with one hand, opened the tea lid with the other hand, gently brushed the tea leaves aside, and blew away the tea with her pursed red lips.

The scent of tea in the carriage overwhelmed the faint smell of body odor.

The domineering attitude of the young lady was clearly visible.

As expected of a young lady from the Duke's Mansion, she was so good at acting that even she, who had lived two lifetimes, didn't notice any clues.

I only heard her continue: "You may not know, this Yang Huating is very powerful. I have told her many times, openly and secretly, that Brother Cheng Yin is mine, but she, relying on her father being a palace minister, actually showed off to me."

Yan Ci lowered his eyelashes and thought to himself: That's not the smart move on your part.

Zhao Yunlan raised her eyelids and looked at Yan Ci's honest appearance. She chuckled, "I am a very generous person and I don't want to argue with her. Seeing that she was having a hard time chasing after Brother Cheng Yin, I helped her find a good husband and let her put this idea to rest early."

Yan Ci just listened but didn't respond. She knew what Zhao Yunlan meant by what he said to her.

It was just to warn her with Yang Huating's incident. If she continued to do as she pleased and get close to Xie Chengyin, then Yang Huating's fate would be hers.

Zhao Yunlan didn't say anything, so she played dumb because she knew that this was not the time to have a conflict with Zhao Yunlan. She was still in Zhao Yunlan's carriage. If Zhao Yunlan attacked her at this time, she would not even have a chance to escape.

But she was not Yang Huating, and faced with Zhao Yunlan's naked intimidation, she couldn't help but look cold.

Suddenly Zhao Yunlan changed the subject and looked Yan Ci up and down, "Miss Yan, I think you are old enough to get married. I wonder what kind of husband you will marry, as someone as smart as you?"

Hearing this, Yan Ci's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Miss Yunlan, don't worry about this. My parents are still here, and the elders will decide on the marriage."

Since Zhao Yunlan no longer conceals her true colors, there is no need for her to pretend to be nice to her.

Yan Ci looked directly at Zhao Yunlan and said in a cold tone, "Miss Yunlan, I have made it very clear to you that there is no romantic relationship between Young Marquis Xie and I. If you really like him, then go for him openly and honestly. It is better to hold back on those shady methods. Remember, there is only one Yang Huating in this world."

Zhao Yunlan was very surprised by Yan Ci's words. She made it so clear. A smart person would know that being obedient is the best option.

I didn't expect that he was as stupid as Yang Huating.

Her eyes flashed, her face full of mockery, "Really? Then you may not be able to return to Dongdu."

Yan Ci was horrified. What she feared would come true. She turned around and immediately went to open the window to see where the carriage had taken her.

Unexpectedly, before my hand touched the window, I felt someone attacking me from behind.

Lily, who had been standing behind Zhao Yunlan, walked behind Yan Ci for some reason. In her hand, she was holding a hemp rope three fingers thick and was putting it around Yan Ci's neck.

Yan Ci reacted very quickly and dodged, kicking Lily away.

Zhao Yunlan didn't expect that the frail-looking Yan Ci could be so arrogant. When he saw the maid being kicked down, he angrily scolded the maid for being useless, snatched the hemp rope, and walked towards Yan Ci with a sullen face.

Yan Ci is no longer the same person she was when she was reborn. Her frail body has made some progress after her unremitting training. It is hard to say how she would perform if she met someone with great martial arts skills, but she is still confident that she can handle the two women.

Although it is less than one-tenth of the previous level, it is more flexible and unexpected.

The carriage was spacious. Yan Ci stood in a corner, watching Zhao Yunlan gradually approaching him, and recalling the backhand grappling technique he had practiced for several months.

Just as Zhao Yunlan pounced towards her, she turned around and went behind Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan looked at Yan Ci who suddenly disappeared in front of him and turned around in panic. Before he could see the person behind him, Yan Ci grabbed his arm and pressed him behind his back.

Yan Ci took advantage of the situation and grabbed the other end of the hemp rope, neatly tying Zhao Yunlan's hands.

Zhao Yunlan didn't expect Yan Ci to be so agile. Not only did he fail to catch him, but he was tied up instead.

She yelled in anger and rage, "Lily, catch her!"

Lily was kicked in the heart by Yan Ci, and the pain made her unable to get up for a long time. When she heard her mistress's cry, she got up tremblingly.

Seeing her young lady being tied up, she tried to grab Yan Ci with a ferocious look on her face, but before she reached Yan Ci, she was kicked in the face.

Yan Ci used all her strength in this kick. She couldn't kill the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, but she would not show mercy to a maid.

The carriage was running very fast, and because the windows were closed, the coachman outside had no idea what was happening inside. However, the direction he was driving was becoming more and more desolate.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Yunlan was tied up and thrown into the innermost part of the carriage. The maid Baihe was kicked and fell to the ground unconscious. The originally gorgeous and tidy carriage was now in a mess.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Yan Ci, who was standing in the carriage, was caught off guard and fell towards the door.
