The Chen family's ancestral tomb is located on the hillside behind the Chen Mansion.

At this moment, the monks responsible for ancestor worship have arrived one after another and started the ceremony before ancestor worship.

The chief wizard sprinkled willow leaf water on Chen Tanyan's body.

The host mage looked uneasy, and subconsciously reminded: "Your Highness, you need to concentrate when offering sacrifices to your ancestors, and you must not have any distracting thoughts."

But Chen Tanyan's purpose of offering sacrifices to his ancestors this time was to win over connections inside and outside the court, so he turned a deaf ear to the mage's admonition and just replied, "Just do your job well, and I won't give you a penny less."

The host wizard had no choice but to agree: "Yes, Your Majesty."

At the beginning, things went just as Chen Tanyan had expected.

The candidates he had expected, including the Minister of Rites and the Vice Minister of War, all showed up one by one.

Just when Chen Tanyan was excited, the feminine voice of a eunuch immediately made the smile disappear from his face.

"The Censor Dongfang Su has arrived."

The corners of Chen Tanyan's lips twitched unconsciously.

The reason why he was demoted to a fiefdom was all thanks to Dongfang Su.

But this time, it's more covert than before, so there's no need to worry about being caught by him again.

Thinking of this, Chen Tanyan put away his anxiety and prepared to deal with Dongfang Su calmly.

However, what Chen Tanyan never expected was that Dongfang Su, who was always known as an iron-faced judge, smiled when he saw him: "Your Majesty, congratulations."

This congratulations completely confused Chen Tanyan.

We are holding a ceremony to worship our ancestors, so why should we be so happy?

Therefore, Chen Tanyan said unhappily: "Lord Dongfang, please be careful with your words."

But soon, Dongfang Su's words made Chen Tanyan feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

"Your Highness, I am not talking nonsense. When His Majesty heard that your daughter is the daughter of destiny, he was very pleased and granted her a marriage contract. When she reaches the age of 15, she will marry the twelfth prince."

Chen Tanyan’s eyes widened.

He had obviously done it very secretly, so how come the emperor could still notice it?

What's even more outrageous is that this so-called twelfth prince was a hostage presented to the Great Zhou by the Beichen Kingdom as a defeated country. In essence, he was a puppet controlled by the royal family.

Now the emperor wants his daughter to marry him, undoubtedly he wants to control and use him better. How can he have any chance of turning things around then?

But without giving him any time to question, Dongfang Su asked Chen Tanyan to come forward to receive his orders.

Even though Chen Tanyan was so angry that his teeth were itching, he did not dare to completely break off relations with the royal family with his current strength, so he had to bite the bullet and step forward to receive the order.

But soon, Dongfang Su said again: "My Lord, can you let me see this girl of destiny?"

Chen Tanyan's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that the royal family only knows that my daughter is the daughter of destiny, but doesn't know which one? If that's the case..."

Thinking of this, Chen Tanyan decided to take a gamble.

"Of course, I'll call my daughter over right away."

After saying that, Chen Tanyan asked Jin Ze to call Ye Guyan and Chen Shuyin.

After all, in his opinion, Su Yuchen was his absolute trump card, and she would never marry a mere proton.

Therefore, letting Chen Shuyin take the blame is the best option.

After receiving the order, Jinze ran back in a hurry.

But he was stopped by Liu Wenjin halfway: "Lao Jin, what are you doing?"

Jin Ze said in distress: "Madam, the prince has ordered that the third wife bring her daughter to the ancestral worship ceremony."

Liu Wenjin frowned and said unhappily, "Didn't the prince ask you to confine Ye Guyan today? Why did he ask you to invite her after such a short while?"

Jin Ze explained, "I see. But after the Supervisory Censor Dongfang came to announce the decree, the prince changed his mind."

After hearing this, Liu Wenjin thought for a moment and then waved his hand: "Then go ahead."

After years of getting along, Liu Wenjin, who was also very scheming, understood Chen Tanyan's meaning in an instant.

Moreover, Liu Mei also confirmed yesterday that Chen Qiyu was still addicted to Fushouchang cigarettes. Even if Ye Guyan was brought to the scene, it would not change the outcome of their whole family being kicked out of the house.

Originally, Ye Guyan was still worried about whether she could go out, but when Jin Ze dispersed the guards and came in to invite her out, she opened her mouth in surprise: "My daughter really has the ability to predict the future."

Just as Ye Guyan was about to accept the offer and leave, Chen Shuyin stretched out her little hand and tugged at Ye Guyan's clothes: [Mother, we are not little dogs, how can we let him come and go at will? Whoever locked us up, let him come and invite us himself, humph! ]

Chen Shuyin's words were like a slap in the face that woke Ye Guyan up.

The reason her child is in this situation now is probably due to her own timidity and Chen Tanyan's different treatment.

Since he doesn't care anymore, why should I care about his face like before?

Therefore, when Jin Ze thought Ye Guyan would go to the venue with him immediately, he saw her sitting down calmly.

Jin Ze was puzzled: "Madam San, what are you doing? The prince is still waiting for you."

Ye Guyan asked Yan Xi to pour him a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

"Third Madam, you should know that today is an important day for the prince. You'd better not offend him." Jin Ze threatened.

After all, in Jin Ze's eyes, the Third Lady's weakness was well-known in the palace. Since he had Chen Tanyan's support, he naturally didn't need to give her face.

If it were usual, it would be true.

But this time was different from the past. Not long after he finished speaking, a cup of hot tea was poured directly on his face, causing him to cover his face and wail in pain.

Ye Guyan said in an even more domineering tone: "As a family servant, you dare to threaten the master. How arrogant of you?"

Jin Ze, whose face was covered with blisters from the burns, didn't know what Ye Guyan had done today, but he really didn't dare to provoke her again, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Madam, you misunderstood me, I'm asking you to come over."

Seeing Ye Guyan pour another cup of hot tea, Jin Ze was so scared that he took a few steps back unconsciously, his legs trembling.

Fortunately, Ye Guyan didn't target him this time. She just said coldly, "Whoever issued the house arrest order should come to pick me up personally. Otherwise, my mother and I won't go anywhere."

Now, Jin Ze was completely helpless against Ye Guyan and had to run back in shame.

At this moment, Chen Tanyan was serving Dongfang Su on thin ice.

After all, Dongfang Su now represents the royal family. If he is not appeased, his own cause will be in jeopardy.

After Jin Ze came back, he immediately conveyed Ye Guyan's thoughts to Chen Tanyan.

After hearing this, Chen Tanyan slammed the table in anger: "What is this bitch thinking?"

Dongfang Su raised his eyes and asked, "My Lord, what happened?"

Chen Tanyan smiled helplessly: "It's okay, my wife is feeling a little uncomfortable, I'll go back and take a look."

Dongfang Su got straight to the point and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I have to see the girl of destiny. All this is the emperor's intention. Please don't make it difficult for me."

"I understand." After Chen Tanyan said this, he went to the courtyard where Ye Guyan lived angrily.
