Chapter Twelve: Transaction

  To be honest, after a few days of getting along with each other, everyone has already become very familiar. If I really have to leave, my heart will truly feel some sadness.

  "She's been causing a stir in my store for the past few days, to be honest, with her around, I'm much more at ease. Don't even want to let her go." Murong Yu praised, he had always secretly hoped that Ling Feng would come later.

  "Is it? But I also need to use her now, so no one will be left behind. Give up." Ling Feng said with a sip of tea.

  "Do you need her too?" Murong Yu's eyes flashed, and his eight trigrams nature was revealed. "What is it?"

  "Don't bother." Ling Feng gave him a cold glance, knowing he would definitely ask.

  Don't mention it? Murong Yu smiled and pursed his lips. "I heard that when you entered the capital last time, the Emperor wanted to grant you a marriage?"

  Ling Feng slightly furrowed his brow, his tone unpleasant, "How did you know?"

  "Don't ask me how I knew." Murong Yu smiled smugly, "You're looking for Ye Yun, aren't you? You wouldn't be thinking of using her as a human shield, would you?"

  Ling Feng glared at Murong Yu, "You're only particularly clever when it comes to this kind of thing!"

  "Haha, thanks for the compliment. But are you sure Ye Yun can handle those people?" Murong Ying was very clear about the situation in Ling Feng's household, and those people were not easy to deal with.

  "We'll talk about those things later. As long as she can help me get through the emperor's visit, that's all I need."

  "The emperor isn't a fool either. By the way, he's arranged a marriage for you, who is the person?" Murong Yu was very curious about this, and the person who had told him the news didn't know who the partner was either.

  "The daughter of Chancellor Wei Xian."

  "Oh?" Murong Yu's eyes lit up, "What a great marriage! Wei Xian is the emperor's favorite! What? You met the young lady and didn't like her?"

  "You're not unaware of the situation at my house, two such women are already noisy enough, adding one more would turn my Lingyu Mountain Villa upside down. I don't need a delicate miss, I need a woman who can help me manage the household."

  "How did you know Ye Yun would help you with household chores? I think her personality isn't the type that can be bought off, if she really doesn't like it, no matter how much money you offer, she won't do it." After a few days of interaction, Murong Rong had gained some understanding of Ye Yun's personality.

  "I'm not sure. I hired her just to help me block the Emperor, that's all. Once the Emperor's suspicions are dispelled, I'll let her go." Ling Feng never thought of really marrying Ye Yun back home, he just wanted to have her act out a play for him.

  "You. Even if the emperor favors you, if he finds out that you deceived him, he will definitely be furious and punish you for deceiving the king." Murong Ying reminded kindly.

  Ling Feng took a sip of tea, "He won't have the chance to know."

  "There isn't a wall in this world that doesn't show any cracks." Murong Yu reminded him, seeing Ling Feng had no reaction, he didn't say anything more.

  Anyway, he had already reminded him of what needed reminding.

  "You want me to pretend to be your fiancée and help you deceive the Emperor?" Ye Yun felt strange after hearing what Ling Feng wanted her to do. "Just act intimate, make him believe we're deeply in love, till death do us part, is that it?"

  Why does she always feel it's not that simple?

  "That's right!" Ling Feng nodded, generously waving his hand and throwing out a dozen silver tickets. "The price is up to you. This is the deposit."

  Ye Yun glanced at the silver ticket on the table and said, "I can help you, but I have a condition."

  "What conditions, you say."

  "If this thing can't go on, I'll quit!" Yeyun always felt that it sounded easy, but in reality, it would be very troublesome to continue.

  "Alright." Ling Feng replied with relish, "However, during our transaction, you must play the role of a fiancée well. How about it?"

  "Don't worry about this, since I've promised you, I'll do it well." Ye Yun nodded, the corners of her lips curved into an arc, and her eyes shone brightly. "However, I should also let you know in advance that my personality is strong, and the role of a gentle wife doesn't suit me. But being a fierce wife is something I can do very well."

  Ling Feng smiled and said, "As you wish."

  ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

  The next day, Ye Yun and Ling Feng bid farewell to Murong Yu and the black men, and left the Black Shop together.

  The black buddies were all sentimental and teary-eyed, making Ye Yun's eyes moist. But seeing their crying appearance, she just wanted to laugh again.

  Ling Feng's carriage may look simple on the outside, but its interior decorations are quite luxurious.

  The carriage was also lined with animal hides, and whether lying or sitting, it would not feel cramped.

  Inside there is a row of small boxes, which contain some small items, such as snacks and so on.

  A big man going out still brings so many dried fruit snacks.

  Ling Feng looked at Ling Feng with some surprise for a couple of seconds more.

  Ling Feng was unaffected, closing his eyes to meditate.

  After the horse carriage had been walking for a while, Ling Feng suddenly opened his eyes and said: "There's something I need to tell you. There are two very troublesome women in my family."

  "A woman?" Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, "Speak."

  "One is my aunt, the other is my grandmother. As for how much trouble it will cause... " Ling Feng furrowed his beautiful sword-like eyebrows, "Let me tell you, it's better if you experience it yourself after you arrive."

  "Can I do whatever I want?"

  Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, "Alright."

  "What if you were accused of having a shrewish wife?"

  "It doesn't matter." Ling Feng had never been concerned about these reputations.

  If she can really handle those two old ladies, it's just a bit of reputation, he doesn't care.

  "This is what you said, don't regret it later!" Fortunately, a part of the silver had already been received, and Ye Yun was not afraid that he would cancel at the last minute.

  Ling Feng smiled and said, "What I say, I will never regret."

  "Good!"

  How long they would have to run for, Ye Yun didn't know, so she simply closed her eyes. Ling Feng, on the other hand, examined her from head to toe with great care.

  After an unknown period of time, the carriage slowed down gradually.

  Ye Yun opened her eyes and met Ling Feng's scrutinizing gaze head-on.

  "What's wrong?"

  "You woke up just in time." Lingfeng sat up straight, and the horse carriage came to a complete stop.

  Ling Feng got out of the car first and turned around to gallantly offer his hand to Ye Yun.

  Ye Yun didn't mind taking advantage of his "kindness".

  As soon as she got off the horse carriage, she saw four people staring at her with incredulity in their eyes.

  "What's going on? Did something grow on my face?" Ye Yun asked in confusion.

  Only then did the row of people realize their mistake and hastily shook their heads. Then they said to Ling Feng: "Master, your aunt has arrived."

  Auntie? As soon as she appears, she's a heavyweight figure.

  Ye Yun turned her head to look at Ling Feng's reaction.

  He saw his face cold and replied faintly: "I know. Where is she now?"

  "Wait in the hall." The person wearing purple clothes replied.

  "Let her wait, tea is always available. By the way, didn't she come yesterday?"
