Chapter 24: Xiao Yun, the master who came down the mountain

The marriage of the emperor's eldest grandson is a top priority for an empire, and all aspects need to be carefully prepared before the date can be set.

This time when Ye Chen came to the Yu family, he was not to marry Yu Hongyan directly, but to get acquainted with the other family members.

The guests who came to congratulate were arranged in the banquet hall, while Ye Chen and the Yu family met in the main hall.

In the main hall, Ye Chen and Yu Hengwen sat in the first seats.

According to the order of left being superior and right being inferior, Ye Chen is on the left and Yu Heng Wen is on the right.

Originally, Yu Hengwen, the head of the Yu family, was supposed to sit on the left, but he repeatedly declined and tried his best to invite Ye Chen to take the main seat.

Unable to refuse such a kind invitation, Ye Chen had no choice but to agree.

Manager Li stood quietly behind Ye Chen, like a statue, without any fluctuations in his aura.

After everyone from the Yu family sat down, Yu Hengwen said with a smile, "Hongyan, this is Young Master Ye. You young people should interact more often and get to know each other better."

Yu Hongyan, who was below, stood up and bowed slightly: "Hongyan greets Master Ye."

Yu Hengwen nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard and smiled, "Hahaha, sir, I wonder what your impression of my Yu family's jewel in the crown is? Is she worthy of your attention?"

Ye Chen nodded and praised: "I have heard of Miss Hongyan a long time ago. It is said that the daughter of the Yu family is not only beautiful, but also more talented than many young men. If I can marry her, she will definitely be my virtuous wife."

"You are too kind, sir. It is a great blessing for my granddaughter to have the fate of marrying you!" Yu Hengwen laughed.

Ever since he learned that the emperor had issued an edict to marry the eldest daughter of the Yu family to the emperor's eldest grandson, Yu Hengwen agreed immediately after a brief consideration.

Although he had arranged a marriage with a wandering Taoist priest eighteen years ago, the agreed time had passed and the other party had not come to fulfill his promise.

So, he regarded the agreement made that year as invalid.

What's more, since the emperor had issued an edict, the Yu family had no room to refuse.

The most important thing is that this eldest grandson is deeply favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and he may have the opportunity to ascend to the throne in the future.

If that day really comes, his Yu family will have a queen!

No one can refuse such a great temptation.

Ye Chen nodded and looked at the people in the main hall somewhat nonchalantly, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing this, Yu Hengwen hurriedly said, "Sir, you must be thirsty, right? I am sorry for not hosting you well enough."

"Someone, serve tea."

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants who were on standby outside the main hall door immediately came in with tea and fruit plates.

Butler Li, who had been standing still, suddenly fixed his gaze on one of the servants who had an ordinary look.

At this time, Xiao Yun had not noticed it yet. He was still planning to listen to the conversation in the hall to find out who the big shot was.

Unexpectedly, Manager Li spoke directly: "The Yu family in Jiangnan is indeed worthy of its reputation. Even the servants who serve tea and water have acquired martial arts cultivation at the peak of the acquired realm. They are worthy of being a prominent family dominating Jiangnan."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. There was a certain chill in the meaning of what Manager Li said.

Xiao Yun froze where he was. He thought he was hiding well, but he didn't expect to be seen through at a glance.

Yu Hengwen's expression changed, and his old voice became a little higher: "How is it possible? In my Yu family, apart from the children of the family, there are absolutely no martial arts practitioners among the servants. Could it be that someone took this opportunity to pretend to be a servant and do something illegal?"

He was somewhat shocked. He certainly knew what it meant when a peak post-natal warrior sneaked into the family.

It is very likely that someone wants to take this opportunity to assassinate!

The crime of assassinating the emperor's eldest grandson is a heinous crime.

Regardless of whether it is related to the Yu family, if this matter is confirmed, the Yu family will definitely be in trouble!

Ye Chen showed an interested look: "Manager Li, who is the peak post-natal warrior you are talking about?"

A warrior who can cultivate to the peak of the acquired realm has a bright future, whether he serves the court or becomes a guest official of a major family, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be content to be a servant.

No one except the protagonists can perform this kind of operation of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

As expected, fate made the villain and the protagonist meet each other.

Manager Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yun coldly, with a terrifying murderous intent locking onto him.

The servants around seemed to sense an extremely terrifying aura and scattered away.

In the main hall, apart from the people who were seated, Xiao Yun was the only one standing there, looking very awkward.

The next second, the teapot in his hand seemed unable to withstand the pressure and made a slight cracking sound.

It hurts——

The tea splashed everywhere.

Xiao Yun sighed, shook off the tea stains in his hands, and said calmly: "I wanted to listen to what you guys were talking about, but now that I've been discovered, I won't pretend anymore. I'll just show my cards."

"I am Yu Hongyan's fiancé, Xiao Yun."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"What? What nonsense is this person talking about? How could my cousin have such an ordinary and confident fiancé?"

"That's right, this person can't even get a turn in the queue. Could he be some perverted secret admirer?"

"This person took advantage of the time when my Yu family was negotiating a marriage to come and cause trouble. Could it be that the other families did it on purpose?"

"Humph, these are not ordinary relatives, I don't think they would dare to do that."

Yu Hongyan looked at Xiao Yun with a puzzled expression.

She had met this person several times and had a good impression of him every time they met.

But I just regarded him as a special servant.

I didn't expect that at such an important moment today, he would come out to cause trouble.

If you anger the emperor's eldest grandson, you will probably end up in a worrying situation...

Yu Hongyan shook her head helplessly and waited quietly for what happened next.

Yu Hengwen's face changed drastically. Only he and his wife knew that Yu Hongyan was engaged 18 years ago.

Now, his wife has passed away and he is the only one who knows about this.

I thought the time had passed and the engagement was off.

I didn't expect the other party to come at such a critical juncture.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Yu Hengwen said with a sullen face, "Nonsense, how could my Hongyan have a fiancé? This Mr. Ye is Hongyan's fiancé."

"Little brother, I advise you to leave quickly. I can pretend that this incident never happened."

"Master Yu, wait a minute." Ye Chen raised his hand and said, then he looked at Xiao Yun and smiled faintly, "You said you are Yu Hongyan's fiancé, do you have any evidence?"

"Of course." Xiao Yun said in a deep voice.

He took out a marriage certificate slowly and threw it towards Yechen.

Manager Li stepped forward, took the marriage certificate and checked it. After making sure that there was no poison or hidden weapon, he handed it to Ye Chen respectfully.

Yu Hengwen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said guiltily, "Sir, I think this man is deliberately trying to mess things up. This marriage certificate must be fake. I will send someone to kick him out right away."

"Hey, Master Yu, don't be nervous. I'm just a little curious." Ye Chen chuckled and opened the marriage certificate, which clearly showed the names of Yu Hongyan and Xiao Yun.

"Tsk tsk, this marriage certificate looks like it's been around for some time."

Xiao Yun stood with his hands behind his back and said proudly, "Eighteen years ago, the head of the Yu family was bedridden with a stubborn disease. My master traveled here and used his peerless medical skills to cure the head of the Yu family of his stubborn disease."

"Later, in order to repay my master, the head of the Yu family wrote a marriage certificate, and eighteen years later, the two sides became relatives."

"Today, I am here to make this marriage happen!"
