Quickly wear the lost man in the world, the plot is always broken

"Why aren't you talking? Are you mute?!"

Ye Qingchen was on the verge of a rage, his low voice was filled with anger, and everyone became more like quails, not daring to speak or even show their heads.

After a while, just when Ye Qingchen was about to get angry again, a short man stood out from the corner. He had plain features and a slightly hunched body. Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you have a solution?"

The man's name was Xu Ping. He usually kept a low profile, but it took him a lot of courage to stand up in this matter. He leaned forward respectfully and said, "Your Highness, the current situation is a dead end. As the saying goes, you have to burn your boats. Your Highness might as well win over an important official in the court right away, and the best way to win him over is through marriage."

The scene was silent for a moment. Ye Qingchen frowned and slammed the table in annoyance. "Go on."

Xu Ping smiled flatteringly, coughed lightly, and straightened his back a little. "But now everyone knows that something happened to you, Your Highness. It is absolutely impossible to contact each other slowly. We can only plan first. As the saying goes, first get the matter done, then get married..."

"Are you talking about drugging?" Ye Qingchen's heart beat faster. He called himself a gentleman, and the only time he had ever schemed was against Xu Wanyan. But that time, his original intention was just to be a hero and save the beauty, not to let anyone insult her.

We were defeated badly that time.

"Your Highness, this is absolutely not possible." Someone immediately came out to refute. It was a counselor that Ye Qingchen usually trusted. "Now the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. Countless eyes are staring at us from all directions. If we take a wrong step, we may fall into the abyss!"

"Besides." The counselor glared at Xu Ping fiercely, "What are you thinking? You are plotting against a court official for thousands of gold. If the court official bears a grudge, it will be a fight to the bitter end. Neither you nor I will survive tomorrow!"

Although this was said seriously, Ye Qingchen knew it was the truth.

Now he only felt a haze hovering over his head, and the insidious enemies hiding in the dark were waiting for him to make a mistake. He seemed unable to do anything, for fear of making a wrong move.

Xu Ping was naturally dissatisfied with being lectured by his adviser. He sneered, "Then tell me, what else can we do besides this? Are you waiting to be thoroughly investigated?!"

This doesn’t work either!

Ye Qingchen was caught in a dilemma, with cliffs in front and behind him.

Everyone fell silent again, a faint despair slowly crept into everyone's heart. Ye Qingchen closed his eyes decadently, and when he opened them again, the hostility in his body became even stronger, and he lowered his head and uttered a word.

"Who do you think is the best person to marry?"

Everyone looked up in fear, only to see Ye Qingchen, who was in a higher position, with a cold gaze, like the cold water of a lake in winter, deep and turbulent, with a desperate madness.

Having no choice, Ye Qingchen tightened his jaw and looked at Xu Ping with sharp eyes, "You speak."

Xu Ping's eyes twinkled, and he chuckled, "Isn't the best marriage... the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

The Prime Minister's Office is in a high position with great power. Having served the Emperor well, one has some face in the eyes of the Emperor. If one can win over the Prime Minister's Office, even if one cannot ascend to that position, one can still be guaranteed to be made a king or a marquis.

At least, it can alleviate Ye Qingchen's predicament.

"No!" As soon as the words fell, Ye Qingchen was the first to deny it. Not to mention that his previous plot against the Prime Minister's Mansion had failed, and...

He didn't want Bai Yun to know these private matters.

"Then it can only be the General's Mansion...but the General's daughter is arrogant and domineering, Your Highness needs to suffer a little."

The mighty general was a founding general. He and the prime minister were one civil and one military, and they were the emperor's right-hand man.

Compared to the daughter of the prime minister's mansion who is proficient in poetry and songs, the daughter of the general's mansion has a strong physique, ordinary appearance, and superb martial arts. She is not inferior to the men of the general's mansion at a young age and has always been the pride of the mighty general.

But for her future husband's family, it was a nightmare.

Ye Qingchen naturally knew all this. He had originally disliked the daughter of the General's Mansion and had chosen the Prime Minister's Mansion. He had never expected that after all these twists and turns, he would still choose that female demon...

"Send someone down to make arrangements."

------------

There was good news in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the whole mansion was filled with joy. Father Xu was extremely satisfied with Ye Qingze. He was experienced in judging people, so he naturally would not look down on Ye Qingze because of his background.

On the contrary, this unknown prince is the biggest dark horse in this "war"!

When everyone was happy, Father Xu waved his hand and doubled the monthly salary of everyone in the mansion to make everyone happy.

The servants were overjoyed and worked more carefully. This joyful atmosphere directly infected Bai Yun. She suddenly realized that it would be a good idea for her second sister to get married.

When a woman gets married, it is reasonable for her to embroider her own wedding dress, but that is an ordinary family. For a prime minister's daughter or a future prince's consort, naturally she would have the best embroiderer to make it for her.

Therefore, when Xu Wanzhen had free time, she would stay with Bai Yun every day.

"Ah, when I get married, you, my careless child, will surely not remember me much."

Xu Wanzhen's tone, like that of a resentful woman in the boudoir, made Bai Yun sound as if she was a heartless person, which made Bai Yun sneer.

"No, I like my second sister the most~"

She spoke coquettishly and comfortingly. Although Xu Wanzhen knew that Bai Yun was coaxing her, she snorted and couldn't suppress the smile on her face when being coaxed by such a beautiful and charming sister.

"That's more like it..." Xu Wanzhen was satisfied, and then changed the subject and asked, "Has your elder sister come back recently?"

Bai Yun shook her head honestly, and Xu Wanyan returned to her usual busy self. Bai Yun had heard Shuyue reveal a little, saying that she was busy with business and had now opened many stores, becoming a "big boss".

"She is so ambitious." Xu Wanzhen snorted. She knew that Xu Wanyan was planning to go into business. Although there were precedents for women going into business, Xu Wanyan was the daughter of a wealthy family. This behavior made Xu's father most angry.

In order to keep the matter a secret from Xu's father, Xu Wanzhen had to talk so hard that her lips were worn out before she finally persuaded Xu's father to have no objection to Xu Wanyan leaving home early and coming back late.

"From now on, tell your elder sister what you want. She is not short of money."

Bai Yun blinked and nodded obediently.

The two were talking when someone came in. It was a strange servant. Xu Wanzhen recognized him at a glance as Ye Qingze's personal servant and could not help but stand in front of Bai Yun.

"What's the matter?"

The servant bowed his head and respectfully presented a bag of things, "This is the chestnut cake that our master bought specially. I heard that the young lady likes to eat it, so I sent it here specially."

The servant's words were all polished, and they showed Ye Qingze's concern. If it were an ordinary woman, she would have been shy and moved.

But... who doesn't know who?

Xu Wanzhen knew that this marriage was forced upon Ye Qingze by her own immoral family, but she did not believe that Ye Qingze agreed to the marriage purely under duress.

Everyone in the court knew the status of the Prime Minister's Office. How many people did they need to win over and please? With this kind of help, Ye Qingze's chances of ascending to that position were half as high.

It can be said that Ye Qingze did not suffer any loss, and Xu Wanzhen had said before that if he did not want to take responsibility, she was not a conservative woman and would not pester him.

Since he agreed to the marriage, he agreed to exchange his marriage for his future.

And...you can never have any thoughts about Yun'er again.

What about now?

Xu Wanzhen was so angry that she laughed. Yun'er's favorite thing recently was chestnut cake. On the contrary, she didn't like this kind of sticky cake. Who was Ye Qingze trying to disgust by doing this?
