Jiu’er mustered her courage and walked toward Ye Chen as she spoke.
However, Ye Chen said, “Get out!”
She was stunned, “Huh?”
Subsequently, she seemed to remember something. Her face turned pale, and her tears flowed out like broken beads, “Young master, did Jiu’er upset you? I didn’t do it on purpose…”
Usually, when a rich family got married, they would have one or two maidservants who shared a room with them. Neither the man nor the woman would mind such customs.
After all, in a feudal society, it was common for men to have multiple wives and concubines. It was even more common for them to be promiscuous. Instead of letting men go to brothels, it was better to let their own maidservants take advantage of them.
However, Ye Chen refused to do that.
Jiu’er subconsciously thought that the young master was upset!
“No, what are you thinking?”
Ye Chen shook his head with a forced smile and said, “You didn’t upset me. I don’t need your service.”
Not to mention that he already had a family and would not do anything to let Su Yuhan and her daughter down, he had lived in the 21st century and had accepted the concept of monogamy since he was young. How could he get used to the tradition of having a maidservant?
“Young master, do you think Jiu’er is ugly?”
Jiu’er was crying even harder now.
Ye Chen was in a predicament. He said immediately, “No, you’re not ugly. You’d at least be a school belle in where I come from!”
In reality, there was no exaggeration in his words. Jiu’er was not ugly at all. In fact, she was pure and innocent. Furthermore, this world was filled with spiritual energy. Even without make-up, her facial features were flawless.
Jiu’er wiped her tears, “The school belle?”
She, who had grown up in the Ancient Desolate Realm since she was young, did not know what a school belle was. However, she could roughly guess that he was praising her.
Seeing that she was still confused, Ye Chen pointed at a chair before him, “Come and sit. I’ll tell you.”
“Oh…”
Jiu’er sat down and looked at him obediently.
Ye Chen said, “Let me tell you a story. I came from an open-minded society. There’s no polygamy. We emphasize equality…”
After hearing that, Jiu’er was shocked, “Young master, why is your hometown so strange? Men can only marry one wife in their lifetime? Some men can’t even afford to marry a wife? Is a woman’s status so high?”
“High, very high!”
Ye Chen laughed out loud, “There are three types of men in our world-losers, bootlickers, the tall, rich and handsome. If a man wants to marry a woman, they would need to have a house, a car, money, or they’d have to be super handsome!”
After Jiu’er finally accepted it, she looked at Ye Chen in admiration, “Then, young master must be tall, rich and handsome in your hometown!”
Ye Chen smiled without saying anything.
Back then, when he was wooing Su Yuhan, the daughter of a wealthy family, he was also a loser in the eyes of outsiders. He could not compare with the tall, rich and handsome!
However, everything changed after Su Tao sank him in the river.
Ye Chen said with a smile in the end, “So, Jiu’er, if you go to my hometown, you’ll be able to form a train with your qualities, be it suitors or bootlickers!”
“No!”
Jiu’er shook her head without hesitation and looked at Ye Chen with determination, “I don’t want any bootlickers or suitors. I belong to you, young master.”
Ye Chen was speechless.
Forget it. He had explained to her for a long time, but he still could not change this girl’s mindset. He could only say that the feudal brainwashing was too deep in her system.
The two of them chatted until late into the night. Just as Jiu’er was about to fall asleep with her hand on her chin, the sound of argument came from outside the room.
Jiu’er immediately woke up. After leaving for a while, she ran back in a panic, “Oh, no. Young master, the Grand Elder and the rest are back!”
Ye Chen was confused, “What does the Grand Elder’s return have to do with me?”
“Young master, you’ve no idea!”
Jiu’er said nervously, “The Grand Elder has always been at odds with the fort master. Most importantly, the Grand Elder’s son, Young Master Mu Xuanzhen, has always been fond of young mistress. Before you came, all of us thought that young mistress and Young Master Xuanzhen would get together.”
Ye Chen came to a realization upon hearing that. He frowned and said, “Mu Xuanzhen? His surname is Mu too. It’s impossible between him and Mu Caiwei, right?”
Jiu’er immediately explained, “That’s not it. The Grand Elder and the fort master are not of the same bloodline. It’s said that they’re separated by several generations. Moreover, the Grand Elder has changed his surname, so he can’t be considered a close relative.”
At this point, she seemed to have thought of something and reminded him, “Young master, no matter what the Grand Elder says about you, you must pretend not to hear him.”
Ye Chen smiled nonchalantly.
He did not even care about the fort master, King Mu, so why would he care about a mere Grand Elder? If he did not go overboard, he could still let it go on account of Mu Caiwei, but if he went overboard…
At this moment, a cold snort resounded from outside, “I, Mu Xuanzhen, would like to see exactly what sort of existence the fort master values as his young master.”
Then came the sound of hurried footsteps.
Bang!
The door was kicked open!
At the next moment, a handsome young man in white with sharp brows and starry eyes walked over. He was only in his twenties, and his brows were filled with coldness. Moreover, there were many people from the King Mu Fort following behind him.
Wang Chengliang, who disliked Ye Chen the whole time, was among them. He walked up and pointed at Ye Chen, “Young Master Xuanzhen, it’s this guy!”
Mu Xuanzhen examined Ye Chen with sharp eyes, “You’re Shi Qianhan?”
Jiu’er’s expression changed. She stood before Ye Chen instinctively and mustered her courage to ask while trembling, “Young Master Xuanzhen, what are you doing?”
Mu Xuanzhen berated, “Jiu’er, move aside!”
Jiu’er bit her lips, stubbornly refusing to move!
Mu Xuanzhen’s face sank, “You’re rebelling. You’re only a lowly servant, yet you dare stand in my way?”
At the same time, a pressure emanated from his body.
Ye Chen pulled Jiu’er behind him and looked at him expressionlessly, “So what if it’s me?”
“Shi, how dare you!”
Before Mu Xuanzhen could speak, Wang Chengliang instantly leaped out from the side, “Do you know that the person standing before you right now is the son of the Grand Elder, Young Master Mu Xuanzhen?!”
“You’re the impudent one!”
Ye Chen’s gaze turned cold as he looked at him with killing intent, “You’re just a servant of King Mu. What right do you have to criticize me, King Mu’s son-in-law?”
“You…”
Meeting his cold gaze, Wang Chengliang panicked for no reason. He thought to himself, ‘Why did this trash suddenly have a change of temperament? He actually dared to yell at me.’
“You despicable thing!”
Ye Chen took a step out and shouted coldly, “This is my bridal room. You brought someone to intrude without permission. You’ve committed a crime against your superior. You deserve to die!”
Wang Chengliang broke out in cold sweat.
Jiu’er looked at Ye Chen’s back with infatuation.
‘Young master is so domineering!
‘He’s so cool!’
