Wei Yun's face was also unfamiliar to everyone. Just now he called Ji Yan sister, and she was also a low-status character.

But the young man's eyes were extremely cold, and there was an unreasonable chill when he looked at each other. Based on their experience, such people were not easy to offend.

No one wanted to make a big deal out of this matter. After all, if Xie Chengan was alerted outside, it might also make the prince unhappy.

The troublemakers fell silent. Wei Yun seemed to have expected it. His eyes were extremely cold and he slowly came to Ji Yan's side.

Ji Yan wanted to say something, but Wei Yun sat down beside her.

Before she spoke, the young man lowered his voice and said to her alone: ​​"These people are targeting Miss like this. Isn't Miss upset?"

He lowered his eyelashes and thought secretly in his eyes, if she really wanted to be Xie Chengan's concubine...

"For them to speculate like this is to look down on me and deliberately embarrass me. Even if I explain, they will turn a deaf ear and nothing will change."

Ji Yan also lowered her voice and spoke softly.

"So, why should I make myself uncomfortable for them."

Wei Yun never thought that she would think this way, "But don't you feel aggrieved, Miss?"

"Of course I do, it's impossible not to care at all." She was very calm, but she said thoughtfully, "But they are just passers-by to me, and we may not meet each other in the future. I only need to care about what the people close to me think. That’s enough, so you won’t feel aggrieved.”

Wei Yun narrowed her eyes, "Then if an outsider not only insults the young lady verbally, but also harms the young lady physically, will the young lady not care?"

Ji Yan paused and shook her head: "If this is the case, I will also be angry and will never let him off lightly."

When Wei Yun heard this, he curved his lips and smiled: "If this is the case, Wei Yun is willing to be the lady's sword."

"What's wrong with swords?" The girl was slightly tongue-tied, and then said, "Don't say that in the future."

"and……"

Ji Yan paused and looked sideways at him: "You called me sister when you came just now, why don't you call me sister now?"

The girl's almond-shaped eyes blinked slightly, and her sideways cheeks were bright and charming. At this moment, she looked at him seriously. Wei Yun saw a hint of cunning in those clear eyes for no apparent reason.

Wei Yun said calmly: "Miss and I are not related, so it is most appropriate to call me Miss."

Ji Yan did not force him to correct her, but said, "In that case, is it okay if I treat you as a friend and call you Yan?"

The lady's voice was soft when she spoke, especially when pronouncing his small characters, it seemed that she deliberately emphasized the pronunciation, showing a hint of tenderness.

In the past, Wei Yun didn't like others calling her by her nickname, and when she first met the young lady, she was very wary of her.

But now, although he didn't know whether what the young lady said was true or not, or whether she had any hidden thoughts, Wei Yun didn't feel disgusted when she called him his little words, and even liked her saying his little words so lingeringly.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Wei Yun nodded: "Miss, if you want to call me, Wei Yun won't mind."

After saying that, he thought of something again and deliberately asked: "I heard that the relationship between the young lady and the prince has been getting warmer recently, and they even gave away personal items such as sachets. Are you going to marry the prince soon?"

Sachets?

Ji Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling strange in her heart, and asked with some suspicion: "Who did you listen to?"

Except for Biyun, no one knew that she had made the sachet. How could Wei Yun know about the sachet and mistakenly thought it was for Xie Chengan.

Wei Yun was slightly startled, his eyes gleaming under his eyelashes, he could actually lose his words for a moment...

"That day I went out to buy rice paper and happened to see a young lady coming out of the embroidery workshop with a sachet in her hand..."

This explanation was reasonable, and Ji Yan did not doubt it.

I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Now that Wei Yun discovered it, Ji Yan told the truth: "I did embroider a sachet, but it was not for the prince, but for you."

"Give it to me?" Wei Yun was slightly stunned.

"Yes." Ji Yan said truthfully, "I wanted to give the sachet to you that day, but then I felt it was inappropriate, so I didn't give it away. Now that you know it, I will give it to you later. You can Tie it around you and use it as a money bag.”

Wei Yun was so surprised that countless thoughts lingered in his mind.

He couldn't help but think that the young lady was really... good at manipulating people's hearts.

"I didn't know that the young lady values ​​Wei Yun so much."

He seemed to be laughing at himself.

Ji Yan then said seriously: "Why do you need to underestimate yourself? Not to mention that you are my stepbrother and have saved me twice. Now I also regard you as a friend, and I will naturally treat you sincerely."

Wei Yun lowered his eyes and whispered the word "friend" several times.

He had never had any friends, and now that he had a young lady as his friend, he should be happy, but his chest felt a little stuffy for no reason.

This was too strange, and he didn't like it.

Wei Yun then changed the subject: "Young lady, you don't have to listen to what others say and put your future on the crown prince. I'm ready to take the exam and I can help you live a stable life in the future."

Ji Yan was stunned for a moment, then curled her lips and said, "That's good. I believe that Yanzhi will have a prosperous official career in the future and make a name for himself."

Although her words were heart-warming, they were very similar to what an eldest sister would say to her younger brother.

Wei Yun felt really awkward and didn't want her to really only see him as her younger brother.

When facing Xie Cheng'an, she kept calling her cousin, but treated him as if she were facing an elder brother. This gap made Wei Yun feel depressed for no reason.

But he didn't know why he was upset.

After a while, Xie Chengan entered the boat with several friends.

When the prince came back, everyone on the ship felt guilty and embarrassed for a moment.

Before that, Jin Han had informed Xie Chengan of what had just happened in the ship.

Ji Yan was a sickly woman who was already walking on thin ice in Kyoto. Xie Chengan was also a little angry when she was humiliated like this.

"There is no need to invite me to such gatherings from now on." The prince said with a sullen face.

When he said this, it meant that he knew what had just happened.

The instigator was so guilty that he could not hold his head up and was also very scared.

"Miss Ji and I have an engagement, and she will be the royal concubine in the future. If anyone in Kyoto dares to insult my wife, Xie will definitely make him pay the price."

These words seemed to tear people apart, but no one dared to be dissatisfied.

Originally, they were wronged first, but now that they saw Xie Chengan caring for that young lady in every possible way, they already knew her position in the heart of the prince, and felt a little wary in their hearts.

After the words fell, Xie Chengan said to Ji Yan: "I didn't think well today, and I hope my cousin will forgive me. It's windy on the river now, so my cousin should follow me back to the house first."

Ji Yan was a little dumbfounded at this time and looked at Xie Chengan slightly strangely.

After a while, he nodded.

She was about to stand up, but Wei Yun stood up first.

The two of them were like needles facing each other, and their eyes seemed to collide and create sparks in the air.

Wei Yun did not give Xie Chengan face, "If it were not the prince, my sister would not be humiliated. The prince should first find the reason from himself, and don't shirk all the responsibilities to others."

"As for my sister, I will take her away myself."
