Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Yan Ru doesn't need his coaxing at all.

With these ten boxes of betrothal gifts, Yan Ru was fully convinced that Han Liang's true love for her was testifiable by heaven and earth, the sun and the moon.

At this time, Han Liang was hanging out in Hongfang Pavilion every day, enjoying the beauty in his arms and not wanting to leave.

Fortunately, Han Qi had his plan. No matter how disappointing his son was, he still had to marry a good daughter-in-law.

What's more, she is the daughter of the Yan family.

In Han Qi's eyes, the Yan family today is a powerful family.

When Yan Tonglin was originally suspended by the emperor, Han Qi was still somewhat worried that he would be implicated because of his relationship with the Yan family. As a result, the Yan family was left out for three days.

As a result, not only was the official reinstated, but even his daughter became a favorite of the emperor.

If he didn't hug the thick thigh in front of him, he would be letting God down.

So in just one month, the marriage negotiation process that had been on hold for half a year was almost completed, and the two families were basically tied together.

Han Qi is worthy of being the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. His attitude towards work is still top-notch.

From accepting the proposal to setting the date, Han Qi handled every detail properly, and the final wedding date was set on March 12, the 23rd year of Tianqing.

The marriage was arranged, the Han family was happy, the Yan family was happy too, and both sides, with an attitude of mutual benefit and win-win, accepted each other as in-laws in their hearts.

Although Yan Ciren was in the palace, she also knew what happened in the Yan Mansion. After all, she had a good ear.

Qiu Fuqiu, the god of ear-reporting, sat in Yan Ci's small room, gulped down a large bowl of tea, and pushed the teacup away, asking Yan Ci to refill it.

Today she came not only to talk about the details of Yan Ru and Han Liang's engagement, but also about another matter related to Han Liang.

"Ah Ci, you didn't see it. There was a huge hole in the girl's head, and blood was gushing out, staining the entire floor of Hong Fang Pavilion red."

Yan Ci filled Qiu Fuqiu's cup with tea and brought it over, not forgetting to tease her, "I didn't see it, so, did you see it with your own eyes?"

Qiu Fuqiu choked, "No, that's not the case. When I went there, Hongfang Pavilion had already been sealed by the government. These are all rumors from outside, with detailed details, so true."

Yan Ci sat down on the stool opposite Qiu Fuqiu, "Since it is a rumor, it must be exaggerated. You said that the woman fell from the second floor, so how could there be a hole on her head? It was only two or three meters high, at most it was a bloody wound."

As soon as he finished speaking, another male voice came from outside the door.

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

They both looked towards the door and saw Xie Chengyin, dressed in brocade clothes, walking in. He was a handsome young man, but he put his hands behind his back and acted like a mature man.

Xie Chengyin looked at the two people sitting opposite each other, and sat down on the stool between them without any hesitation.

Yan Ci was somewhat surprised by Xie Chengyin's arrival. If it was Liufang Courtyard in Yan Mansion, it would be fine for Xie Chengyin to come and go freely, but how come Xie Chengyin could come and go freely in Yun Pavilion in this palace?

This is the harem. How can a foreigner like him come in and out so freely?

"Why are you here?" Yan Ci looked at Xie Chengyin and couldn't help asking.

Xie Chengyin took a tea bowl and poured tea. "I came to play chess with the emperor. I won two games, so I was allowed to come to Yun Pavilion to see you."

Qiu Fuqiu clicked her tongue and said, "Oh, oh, oh, you miss Ah Ci already after just a few days of not seeing him?"

Xie Chengyin glanced at Qiu Fuqiu indifferently, and did not respond to her words. Instead, he turned to Yan Ci and asked, "You know everything?"

Yan Ci naturally knew that Xie Chengyin was talking about the Hongfang Pavilion, so he nodded and said, "Miss Qiu told me everything, but the details still need to be worked out."

Thinking of what Xie Chengyin said when he entered the room, Yan Ci asked: "You said you saw it with your own eyes, is it true?"

"I was on the second floor of Hong Fang Pavilion at the time. When the dancer fell, her head did hit the ground first. She did bleed a lot, but it wasn't as exaggerated as the rumors said."

Yan Ci glanced at Qiu Fuqiu, his eyes showing: See, I was right, it was all exaggerated.

After hearing what Xie Chengyin, the witness, said, Qiu Fuqiu's curiosity became curious again, "What was the situation at that time?"

Yan Ci and Qiu Fuqiu were both intrigued by Xie Chengyin's words, and they stretched their necks to wait for what to say next.

Xie Chengyin, who was stared at by two scorching eyes, shut his mouth pretending to be profound, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and tasted the tea with relish.

This made Qiu Fuqiu very anxious.

"Just what? Xie Chengyin, tell me quickly!"

Seeing Xie Chengyin's lukewarm look, Yan Ci knew that he was deliberately keeping people in suspense.

Although he only knew the general outline of the matter from Qiu Fuqiu, and most of it was exaggerated, Yan Ci had already pieced together the ins and outs of the matter.

A young dancer in Hongfang Pavilion suddenly fell from the second floor and died. The person with her at the time was Han Liang, the only son of Lord Han, the Minister of Honglu Temple, and Yan Ru's fiancé.

As soon as this incident happened, Han Liang was once again pushed to the forefront, and many people said that it was Han Liang who pushed the dancer down.

But Yan Ci didn't think so.

Han Liang had been in Hongfang Pavilion for quite some time. Judging from how familiar he was with the dancer, they must have been old lovers. How could he suddenly push her down the stairs, in front of everyone?

Originally she felt that there was something fishy going on, and when she saw Xie Chengyin bring up the matter to her as soon as he arrived, Yan Ci became even more certain that Han Liang was most likely the scapegoat.

Based on Yan Ci's understanding of Xie Chengyin, what could concern Xie Chengyin was definitely not a simple case of a dancer falling from a building.

But since Xie Chengyin was not in a hurry to speak, she was too lazy to be in a hurry either.

"I'm afraid this news has already reached the Yan Mansion. Don't you want to go back and take a look?"

Xie Chengyin saw that Yan Ci didn't seem to be in a hurry, but he became impatient.

Yan Ci imitated Xie Chengyin and sipped tea. The hot steam from the tea created a white mist, making it difficult for Xie Chengyin to see her expression clearly.

After a while she said, "Why go back? He's not my fiancé, why should I worry about him?"

Xie Chengyin asked in a boring way, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Now the Yan family and the Han family are in-laws. If the Han family is involved, the Yan family will probably be affected as well."

Yan Ci glanced at Xie Chengyin and said, "You didn't come to me just to persuade me to go back. Do you know something about the inside story?"

Being seen through by Yan Ci, Xie Chengyin said directly: "I did find something unusual, but I'm not sure yet. Qicun has already gone to verify it. I'll tell you when I have news."

Qiu Fuqiu watched Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin talking to each other as if they had a tacit understanding, while she, who was the first to deliver the message, became an outsider.

Feeling indignant, he was about to leave, "Are you two hiding something from me?"
