Chapter 232 Shocking words
Chapter 232 Shocking Statement

Ye Xuan stroked his forehead with his hand, feeling grief-stricken. "You, Qiuyan, you couldn't bear to see another sad woman in the world, so could you bear to see another sad man in the world?"
However, Ye Xuan's true identity had been ruthlessly exposed by Qiu Yan, and it was too late for Ye Xuan to save the situation.

Zhu Huan looked at Qiuyan with surprise, and by the time Qiuyan finished speaking, his face was flushed with joy.

"Ye Xuan, I knew you weren't such a sentimental person." But the next moment, Zhu Huan was sad again, "You would rather lie and cheat than be a consort?"

Ye Xuan sighed lightly. He couldn't bear to hurt Zhu Huan, but he also didn't want to be a royal consort and abide by a lot of rules and regulations for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Ye Xuan didn't answer, Zhu Huan already knew Ye Xuan's answer.

She stood there staring at Ye Xuan for a while, and suddenly tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

"Your Highness..." Ye Xuan was suddenly at a loss. What he feared most in his life was women's tears, not to mention that the other party was the eldest daughter of the emperor.

However, before Ye Xuan could say anything to comfort him, Zhu Huan had already covered his face and turned around and ran away.

Ye Xuan raised his hands. For the first time in his life, he felt a little at a loss in front of a woman. He didn't know whether he should chase her or let Zhu Huan leave.

If he chases after him, something is bound to happen, causing Zhu Huan to get deeper and deeper into the trap, and the relationship between the two will become unclear.

But letting the other person take the key away just like that seems a bit cruel when you think about it.

Just when he was struggling to make a decision, Nian Wei appeared from nowhere and happened to block Zhu Huan who was about to leave.

Zhu Huan's way was blocked. When he was about to go around Nian Wei, Ning Wei suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhu Huan's arm.

Zhu Huan looked at Nian Wei in a daze. Nian Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I greet Her Royal Highness the eldest daughter."

"You are……"

Zhu Huan looked at the stunning woman in front of him and had a guess in his mind, but he was still not sure.

But soon, Nian Wei announced the answer.

Nian Wei bowed to Zhu Huan and said with a smile, "I am Ye Xuan's concubine. I heard that the eldest princess of the emperor was coming, so I came here to supervise."

When Zhu Huan heard this, his expression suddenly darkened.

No wonder Ye Xuan had no interest in her. It turned out that he had such a beautiful concubine at home. In terms of appearance alone, Zhu Huan admitted that he could not compare to her.

Zhu Huan thought that Nian Wei was here to demonstrate to him. Although she had a soft personality, she was a member of a noble family after all. He couldn't help feeling a little unhappy when he saw this.

He waved his sleeves lightly and snorted coldly, "I have heard that Captain Ye has a stunningly beautiful concubine in his family. Today I see that it is indeed true."

Although he was saying flattering words, everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in Zhu Huan's tone.

Nian Wei seemed to have seen through Zhu Huan's thoughts, and said with a slightly bitter smile on her face: "I am just born with a good appearance, but I can never be accepted by the upper class."

Zhu Huan felt a little embarrassed when she said this self-deprecating sentence. After all, she was a well-educated and reasonable person, not an ordinary unruly princess. The reason why she snorted before was because she was a little embarrassed and annoyed by Ye Xuan's rejection, and Nian Wei blocked her way, so she mistakenly thought that she was protesting against her.

Now hearing Nianwei being so self-deprecating, he knew in his heart that she had no intention of protesting, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

However, Zhu Huan still didn't understand why Nianwei stopped her, so she looked at Nianwei with her phoenix eyes inquiringly.

At this time, Ye Xuan, Qiu Yan and others had also walked to the side of the two. Ye Xuan directly embraced Nian Wei and comforted her: "Nian Wei, why do you say that? You know I have never disdained your identity."

Nian Wei smiled, leaned her head against Ye Xuan's arms, and said with a hint of happiness on her face: "How could I not understand your intentions, sir? But some things cannot be hidden from others. Instead of hiding it, it is better to say it openly."

Ye Xuan actually agreed with this, but this era is different after all. People attach great importance to identity and face. Nian Wei was born into a brothel, so if she said she really didn't mind, it might not be the case.

However, at this moment, Ye Xuan didn't know how to comfort her, so he just nodded and patted Nian Wei's back gently.

Nian Wei smiled slightly, suddenly straightened up, gently pushed Ye Xuan away with a pair of bare hands, and said, "If you don't mind, we girls have something to discuss. Can you please leave for a while?"

Qiuyan walked up with a smile and advised: "Since Miss Nianwei wants to talk about girlish things, young master, you are a grown man, why don't you step aside for now?"

The two girls, Chunfeng and Xiayu, also came up and pushed Ye Xuan away while laughing, "Young Master, please stay away from girls' affairs for the time being!"

Seeing this, Ye Xuan couldn't refuse, so he had to look at Nian Wei and left the garden worriedly.

After watching Ye Xuan leave, Nian Wei suddenly knelt down in front of Zhu Huan.

This startled Zhu Huan, and he quickly reached out to pull her, but Nian Wei just knelt and refused to get up, saying, "I heard the offensive words from the master's side earlier. Please forgive Ye Xuan for not coming in, Your Highness."

Zhu Huan was a little surprised when he heard this. "You knelt down to me, are you just begging for Ye Xuan?"

"If that's the case, please rest assured, Miss Nianwei. I will never bear any grudge against Lord Ye because of his careless words."

Nian Wei then smiled, but her face still looked a little miserable. She nodded and shook her head and said, "Besides that, Nian Wei has another favor to ask of you."

Zhu Huan frowned slightly, and then asked: "If I can do it, I will not refuse even for Ye Xuan's sake. But although I am the eldest daughter of the emperor, I am just a woman. I wonder what is going on?"

Nian Wei smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, you can definitely do this. Please don't blame the official and still recruit him to be your consort!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Huan was shocked.

Before Nianwei spoke, Zhu Huan imagined many possibilities. What would she ask him for?
Zhu Huan felt that the most likely scenario was that Nian Wei would ask her not to pester Ye Xuan. However, she never expected that Nian Wei's request would be for her not to blame Ye Xuan and still choose him as her son-in-law.

Seeing Zhu Huan's frightened face, Nian Wei whispered, "Although I am from a humble background, I know a little about the rules of the emperor's family's selection of a consort. Please rest assured, Your Highness, if Ye Xuan becomes a consort, Nian Wei will naturally disappear in Yingtian Prefecture and will never let the official find me."

When these words were spoken, not only Zhu Huan, but also Qiu Yan, Chun Feng, Xia Yu and the other three girls showed touched expressions.

Zhu Huan might not be clear about it yet, but Qiuyan, Chunfeng and Xiayu have spent a long time with Nianwei, so they know about Nianwei's feelings for Ye Xuan.
