Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 265: Deliberate Planning, Unintentional Trick

The girls immediately began to counsel Emmanuelle Belle.

Helen asked anxiously, "What can we use to cooperate with Mr. Yang?"

Parisa said, "What a rare opportunity this is, Your Highness. When we were on the ship, you and I saw how powerful he is, how strong he is, and how powerful he is!"

Tierreba cupped her hands and said, “Now, we see again how rich he is!
Your Highness, you will never find a man more suitable for you in the East."

Lali said: "A woman without a man is like a fish without water. If there is no Mr. Yang, how will we survive in the future?"

Afaf said sincerely: "Women and sardines, choose the smaller ones, this is a wise and ancient proverb.

Sister Belle, please forgive me for being blunt, but you are not young anymore. You are older than us. Don’t miss this great opportunity, or you will regret it.”

"Enough, quiet, be quiet!" Emmanuelle Belle grabbed the "memo" and slammed it on the table.

When the chatter in the study stopped, Emmanuelle Belle said in annoyance, "Are you trying to sell me off just to have a place to stay? I've been so good to you."

Najjar said, "That's not the case, Your Highness. It is precisely because of your selfless care for us that we are particularly concerned about your happiness."

Niosa said: "A woman without a husband is like a crop field without rain. Mr. Yang is the spring rain that nourishes you. If you miss him, you will die of drought."

"Shut up, everyone!"

Emmanuelle Belle shouted, "Geese poop a lot, women talk a lot, it's really true, I'm almost dying of your noise. What's wrong with you, you can't live without men, right?"

All the girls nodded as if it was a matter of course: "Yes!"

"what?"

Emmanuelle Belle stared at these worthless women, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After thinking for a while, her beautiful face showed a little frustration, and she said softly: "You don't know, Mr. Yang... already has a wife."

The girls looked at her with dumbfounded expressions.

Tierreba asked in surprise: "So?"

Afafu also asked blankly: "What does that matter?"

Emmanuelle Belle slapped her forehead and suddenly remembered that in the hometowns of these girls, in Persia and the Caliphate, men were allowed to have multiple wives.

Emmanuel Belle said solemnly: "Everyone, I am from Frank. I am the most loyal knight and the most devout believer of the Lord.

I once swore to the Lord that I would abide by the Lord's teachings. Marriage is a sacred contract given to believers by the Lord when the world was created, and it can only be unique.

Do you unbelievers understand now?"

The study room fell silent for a while, and a mocking voice came from the corner: "Knight? Your Highness, you don't even have a horse now."

"Who is it! Stand out!" Emmanuelle Belle slammed the table and shouted.

The girls fell silent again, but no one stood up.

Emmanuelle Belle said solemnly: "Even if morality is dressed in ragged clothes, it should not be despised!
In this Eastern Empire, there was an ancient sage named Meng, who also said that wealth and honor cannot corrupt, poverty and humbleness cannot move, and might and force cannot bend.

I, Emmanuelle Belle, will practice this and remain committed to it!"

She looked at the girls and said in a slower tone, "I won't ask you to be like me. You can choose the path you want to take."

“Also, I have already discussed with the wise Madam Li that she will come in a few days to discuss business matters with us.

From now on, you will all have your own things to do and make your own money, so you can go to sleep with peace of mind!"

The girls pouted and started to walk out. In the crowd, another sneaky voice came over: "If a fool is given a crown, then Belle will be our queen!"

The girls' tittering laughter rang out, and Emmanuelle said angrily, "What a bunch of stupid women!"

When the study room was completely quiet, she angrily opened the "Memo".

She first recorded today's meeting with Li Shishi in concise language, and then wrote down her collaboration with Yang Yuan.

Finally, she used a darker color to write down her evaluation of the two people and her attitude towards getting along with them in the future.

She spoke in Frank, a language that even these stupid little sisters didn't recognize, so she was naturally not afraid of being seen.

"Mrs. Li is a wise and mature woman, and a mentor I can trust. Whether it's business or life, I can always listen to her advice."

"Yang Yuan is my powerful protector and my most important shareholder. I must maintain a good relationship with him."

"But he is married, and as an unbeliever, his kingdom allows him to have many wives, and I am a devout believer, so I must keep a proper distance from him."

After thinking for a while, Belle added: "He seems to have a good impression of me. It will be very difficult to refuse a powerful person, so I must take precautions. You must know that if you don't mend a small hole, you will suffer from a big hole!"

……

After the girls left the study, they did not disperse immediately.

After living together for more than a year, they have developed the habit of discussing things together.

They went to the main hall of the "Chrysanthemum Garden" and held their first meeting after becoming free people.

However, Emmanuelle Belle, the usual host of the meeting, was not there.

Faldus, who was only fourteen years old and had not spoken a word, and was rather shy, said in a low voice: "If Her Highness Belle is unwilling, we should not force her.

She has done enough for us. Maybe Mr. Yang will like us too? But we have been wearing masks all the time, so he has never seen our appearance. "

Although she is not very old, she is still tall, almost as tall as the tall Leng Yuchan.

Helen shook her head and said, "From the beginning to the end, Mr. Yang never looked at us straight in the eye. He has no interest in us..."

Faldus said shyly: "But...the red-haired girl he was talking about is me."

Afafu glared at her and said, "At that time, Mr. Yang was obviously pretending to be a lecherous and incompetent rich kid in order to paralyze that bastard Pu Yama. Don't be so delusional."

Fardus pursed her lips somewhat sadly.

Mandana said: "In fact, I believe in the ability of Her Highness Belle, and I also believe that she has really reached a cooperation with Mr. Yang. We don't want to sacrifice Belle in exchange for our safety.

I really care about her, this unbelieving and foolish Frankish woman. Her god did not protect her, let alone her in the East. I hope she can have a good ending. "

Tierreba rolled her eyes and whispered, "If we steal her 'memo', when she wakes up, all of us will tell her that she has long been Mr. Yang's woman, and her body and soul have long become Mr. Yang's vessel. What do you think?"

An air of conspiracy began to linger in the hall.

All the girls felt it was inappropriate, but also reasonable, and there was a sense of excitement about playing a prank.

Finally, it was Navar who said, “First of all, we must make it clear that Mr. Yang likes her.

Otherwise, if Mr. Yang disagrees, it will be useless. Secondly, we must first make it clear that she likes Mr. Yang..."

Tierreba said: "She likes it. You should have seen it just now. The only knot in her heart is that Mr. Yang already has a wife, but she is still sticking to her stupid oath."

"I think we don't need to be so anxious. Let's observe for a while. Maybe the two of them will fall in love with each other, and then we won't have to be the matchmaker."

Helen laughed and said, "How is that possible? She loses her memory every day."

Navar said, "No, what Helen said makes sense. Her Highness Belle's memory will disappear every day, but if she spends a long time with Mr. Yang, that sense of familiarity will not disappear.

In her memo, Mr. Yang will become more familiar with her every day. And these will make her feel differently about Mr. Yang every day.

Maybe one day, she will really change her stupid persistence. "

"Clap!"

Lali clapped her hands and said, "Then let's take it for a year, what do you think, sisters?

If things still don't progress by then, in order to prevent Belle from regretting it one day, we...

Just steal her memo and then tell her a story we want her to believe."

The girls looked at each other and nodded together!
……

The next morning, Xue Bingxin taught Fang Zhiping and Chu Yuejiang, two clerks, how to transcribe the information using the table method. The two clerks then returned to their signing rooms to sort out the information.

Xue Bingxin sat in her room, holding a cup of hot tea and daydreaming.

Leng Yatou was really mad at her. When they went out together in the morning, she didn't say a word when she saw her, and they didn't go to have breakfast together as usual.

How infuriating!

But it seems... this isn't bad either!
Can I stop Yuchan from having such a crazy crush on him without letting that bastard Yang Yuan take advantage of me?
Well..., although it will make Yuchan hate me even more, a short pain is worse than a long one.

When they are completely separated, can't I just let Yuye come forward and explain my painstaking efforts to her?
Time will tell, and by then, she will know that I am doing this for her own good.

The more Xue Bingxin thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth.

At this time, Leng Yuchan was mustering up her courage and walking into the courtyard of the "Chanzifang".

Sitting in the signing room early in the morning, she finally calmed down a little.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that she might have really misunderstood Bingxin.

Bingxin and Yang Zhangfang have only had contact a few times. Even if she really has some plans, she wouldn't give her body to someone else after such few contacts, right?

Leng Yuchan and Xue Bingxin grew up together. In her opinion, although Bingxin liked to tell her dirty jokes in private, she was not so unrestrained and bold.

Leng Yuchan decided to give Xue Bingxin another chance to explain, so she came.

Yang Yuan carried a bag and walked to Xue Bingxin's signing room.

This time, he knocked on the door politely.

There was no movement in the signing room. It was strange. Was Deputy Secretary Xue always so focused when doing his work?

Yang Yuan quietly opened the door a crack and saw Xue Bingxin sitting behind the desk in a daze.

Yang Yuan smiled helplessly, then pushed the door and walked in.

"Deputy headmaster?"

Yang Yuan walked to the desk and knocked on it.

"Ah? Oh, hiss..."

Xue Bingxin was startled, and the hot tea in the cup splashed out and burned her fingers.

Xue Bingxin endured the pain, quickly put down the teacup, shook her hands, and glared at Yang Yuan with some resentment.

Yang Yuan looked helpless: "Deputy Manager, I knocked on the door. And I walked right up to you... I didn't mean to scare you, why are you so distracted?"

"Oh, nothing. This... is my own fault."

Xue Bingxin clenched her fingers and said helplessly: "Does the headmaster have any instructions?"

"Oh, I'll compensate you for your clothes."

Yang Yuan put the bag on the table and said, "These are ready-made clothes from Fuhua Cloth Shop in Yu Street."

Yang Yuan took a look at Xue Bingxin's figure and said, "It should be a good fit. If you are not satisfied, you can go back to the store and ask them to adjust it for you."

As Yang Yuan spoke, he took the robe out of the bag and said with a smile, "I went to three clothing stores before I found out about Fuhua Cloth Shop. They make custom robes for the palace ladies, so you can rest assured about their craftsmanship."

Women in the Song Dynasty generally did not wear robes, except for palace maids and women working in some government offices.

Xue Bingxin worked in the Privy Council, so she wore a robe, and the one that was stained yesterday was hers.

Women's robes are derived from men's robes. They have narrow sleeves, a round collar, slits on both sides, a belt at the waist, and a hem that reaches the feet.

The ready-made garment that Yang Yuan bought for Xue Bingxin was made of fine fabric using kesi craftsmanship, and it exuded a sense of elegance.

The robe that Xue Bingxin had soiled was originally made for the palace by Fuhua Cloth Shop, but its texture and fabric were not as valuable as the one that Yang Yuan had taken out.

What girl doesn't like beautiful clothes? The more inconvenient it is for her to show her personality in the occasion, the more she will pay attention to the texture and details of the clothes, and win from this.

So when Xue Bingxin saw the robe that Yang Yuan took out, a smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Yang Yuan with much more favor.

Leng Yuchan walked to the door, hesitated for a moment, and became a little timid again.

She hesitated and took a look inside through the crack of the half-open door.

She only saw half of Xue Bingxin's body because... it was blocked by Yang Yuan's figure.

Leng Yuchan's heart sank suddenly. She looked around and saw that no one was walking by, so she quietly put her ear close to it.

"Oh, such expensive fabric... It's just the official uniform I wear when I'm in the government office. You're too polite, Sir."

"Why are you being polite? I stained your clothes, so I should compensate you. If you don't mind, then take it."

"Then...I would like to thank you, Sir."

"We will have plenty of time to spend together in the future, so why be polite?

You have a cheerful personality and are good at socializing. I will rely on you a lot when dealing with other families in the future."

Xue Bingxin took the robe and smiled, "I'm not bragging.

As for Yuchan, everything else is good except that she has a cold temper and rarely says a word to people she isn't familiar with.

But how can you get to know people if you don’t even talk? "

Xue Bingxin took the opportunity to flatter Leng Yuchan, hoping to dispel Yang Yuan's desire for Leng Yuchan.

She said meaningfully, "Besides, Yuchan is stubborn, she can't let go and takes everything seriously.

Hehe, if anyone provokes her, it will be hard to get rid of her. So, after weighing the pros and cons, the fat roomkeeper gave her to Si Gong. "

Leng Yuchan was furious. Good, good, good! Is this the true face of my good sister?
I really misjudged you. I'm so angry!
At this time, Yang Yuan's voice came out again, quite gently: "Are you still in pain? Do you want to find some medicine to apply..."

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore, Si Gong, don't worry, it only hurts for a moment, I just feel a little bloated now, it's nothing serious."

When Leng Yuchan heard this, she froze for a moment.

Is this... confirmed?

I'm so sorry that I tried so hard to help you out, Xue, Bing, Xin! Hello, you really deserve me!
