son, don't mess around

An Ning ran away!

Perhaps he didn't want to continue the childish argument with Jinxiu, or perhaps he just didn't want to face it.

The girl holding the sword turned and ran away.

Jinxiu was left standing there, looking at her silly sister's fleeing back with a complicated expression, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

This silly girl has made it very obvious!

The night An Ning was injured, Jinxiu slept with An Ning.

At that time, Jinxiu asked that question, catching An Ning off guard!
Judging from An Ning's reaction at that time, Jinxiu confirmed her guess... An Ning really likes His Highness!

Maybe you don’t necessarily like it, but there is definitely a problem…

At first, she didn't realize it.

Although from the very beginning, Jinxiu had been guarding against His Highness getting close to An Ning and guarding against His Highness hooking up with An Ning.

But Jinxiu actually doesn’t think that His Highness can succeed!

After all, An Ning's personality is very similar to that of the princess. She is cold, emotionally insensitive, and extremely vigilant towards outsiders!
More importantly, people with a personality like yours were what An Ning hated the most in the past!
Therefore, in Jinxiu's opinion, His Highness might try to hook up with An Ning, but An Ning would never take the bait!
The only thing she had to guard against was whether His Highness would use some dirty tricks on An Ning...

But Jinxiu never expected that before His Highness could even start to flirt with her, something was wrong with An Ning over there...

Jinxiu finally realized something was wrong when An Ning went out with His Highness for a night and cried her heart out!

When An Ning came back that morning, Jin Xiu noticed that An Ning looked strange, so she ran to question His Highness and learned from him that An Ning had cried.

Then Jinxiu went to see An Ning again, but An Ning was unwilling to say anything, which made Jinxiu worried. She could only run to the princess, hoping that the princess would come forward.

However, although the princess went to see An Ning, she did not say much to Jinxiu.

Although An Ning's emotions became much more stable afterwards, Jinxiu could still feel that... An Ning was worried!
Why would that girl be worried for no reason?
After that, Jinxiu also discovered that An Ning began to avoid His Highness intentionally or unintentionally.

It was a deliberate avoidance. She didn't want to see His Highness, nor did she want to talk to His Highness. Even when she mentioned it, she was extremely unnatural... At this time, Jinxiu finally realized that things were not that simple.

And it was at this time that a bold idea emerged in Jinxiu's mind... An Ning, is she in love with His Highness?
When this thought came to mind, all of Jinxiu's previous irrational speculations seemed to become reasonable...

An Ning's reaction was indeed like the thoughts of a young girl who had just begun to fall in love. And Jinxiu also discovered something wrong from the details!
It was not until that night a few days ago that Jinxiu asked An Ning in person!

Although, An Ning denied it!

She refused to admit it!
But Jinxiu is her twin sister, how could she not see that An Ning was lying?
To be precise, it shouldn’t be called lying!
An Ning was not sensitive to emotional matters, and could even be said to be very dull. She might not even be aware of her feelings for His Highness.

If Jinxiu hadn't mentioned it, even An Ning wouldn't have realized this.

When Jinxiu mentioned this, perhaps it triggered the biggest secret in An Ning's heart, making her flustered and uneasy, and she subconsciously refuted.

He also subconsciously wanted to find excuses and reasons to refute Jinxiu!
But when she couldn't find a suitable excuse, she could only flee like she did today... escape!

Jinxiu stood there with a complicated expression.

She saw through An Ning's thoughts, but this made things seem even more complicated!

Jinxiu looked a little annoyed!

She took every precaution, but she still didn't expect that the enemy would collapse from within!

An Ning, how could she... fall?
She doesn't have much contact with His Highness on a daily basis, right?

How come...

When she thought of this, Jinxiu's originally complicated expression turned into anger again.

Could it be that His Highness has some private interactions with An Ning?

What did His Highness do to An Ning in private? !

But as soon as this idea came to mind, it was quickly overturned by Jinxiu.

She had specifically tested His Highness a few days ago and was sure that His Highness was not aware of An Ning's feelings.

Your Highness is not clear about this matter yet.

Can you be sure that An Ning is unilaterally in love with His Highness...unrequited love?
Jinxiu's eyes were dim, and it was difficult for her to describe her current mood.

As I said, no matter how cautious I was, I still didn't expect that my dear sister would fall in love with the same man as me!
more importantly……

The relationship between the princess and His Highness hasn't gotten any closer yet, and now An Ning has come in. If the princess knew about this, I'm afraid...

"no!"

Standing there, Jinxiu frowned, hesitated and thought for a long time, finally made up her mind and gritted her teeth.

She must find a way to stop it before things get to the worst!
We must not let An Ning and His Highness...

A trace of shame and anger appeared on Jinxiu's beautiful face. She had already fallen into the hands of His Highness, so how could she let An Ning follow in her footsteps?

Some disgusting scene seemed to emerge in her mind, and Jinxiu's pretty face turned slightly red. She shook her head quickly to get rid of the crazy picture in her mind.

She wanted to take advantage of the fact that An Ning was still unsure of her feelings and find a way to cut off her feelings for His Highness!

Strangled in the cradle!

Thinking of this, Jinxiu looked at the direction An Ning left with a determined gaze and followed with firm steps.

……

The Xu family is one of the most prominent families in Linjiang City. Although its family background is not as rich as other families in Linjiang City, it should not be underestimated.

In the past, Mr. Xu was quite prestigious in the court, although he was implicated in the third prince's rebellion case, which had a very serious impact on the Xu family.

Up to now, Mr. Xu and his family have been under house arrest in Beijing and are unable to return.

But even so, no one dared to underestimate the Xu family.

As for the reason, it’s very simple!
The Xu family has the support of the Linwang Palace. As long as the Linwang Palace exists, the Xu family will remain unmoved.

In the past, Mr. Xu had done a favor to Prince Lin and saved Lin Hengzhong's life. This favor was greater than heaven. Over the years, the Xu family has been able to develop so rapidly, gain a firm foothold in Linjiang City, and rank among the aristocratic families, which is inseparable from the support of Prince Lin's Mansion.

And this time when Linjiang City was in turmoil, all the noble families, big and small, in the entire city were terrified and worried.

Only the Xu family remained unmoved, without any worry at all!
The Xu family had never participated in any fights between the noble families from the beginning to the end, and had only watched the drama in Linjiang City as an outsider. Now, as the influence and consolation of other noble families were weakened, the prestige of the Xu family was strengthened in disguise.

The Xu family's mansion is located next to the Lin prince's palace, and is only separated from the Lin prince's palace by two alleys. This is enough to show how deep the friendship between the Lin family and the Xu family was in the past!

At this moment, at Xu Mansion.

backyard.

Under the eaves, the window of the room was wide open. Under the window sill, a young girl was looking at the yard with her face propped up in boredom, in a daze.

On the other side, a maid in a green skirt also looked bored and listless.

"Miss, how about we go out for a walk?"

"No." Xu Lan's voice was weak.

"I heard that the city is very lively recently. Don't you like to join in the fun, young lady?"

"not interested!"

Xiaolu stood beside the young lady and sighed softly. Her young lady had changed a lot!
In the past, young ladies could not sit still. They would go out every few days and go wherever there was fun.

But during this time at home, my young lady is really reluctant to go.

"or……"

Xiaolu seemed to have thought of something and suggested, "Should we go to the Linwang Mansion to find His Highness?"

When Xu Lan, who was originally bored, heard Xiaolu's suggestion, his eyes lit up slightly and he subconsciously sat up from the windowsill.

But then, the light in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he lay down again: "Forget it, let's not disturb him!" "The city is so chaotic recently, he is very busy."

At this point, Xu Lan's tone was a little annoyed: "If I go there, it will only cause trouble for him!"

Xu Lan knew clearly what had happened in the city these days, and she thought Lin Jiangnian had been very busy. If she went there at this time, it would only cause trouble for him!
“It’s annoying…”

Xu Lan's tone suddenly became a little frustrated: "Xiao Lu, I feel like I am a trouble now. I will only bring trouble to him!"

Hearing what her young lady said, Xiao Lu couldn't help but open her eyes wide in surprise and looked at her young lady: "Miss, you... have really changed!"

Xiaolu was surprised and moved.

My own lady actually thought that she was a trouble one day?
The ladies before were not like this!
My young lady never worried about these things before. She always acted spontaneously and didn't care about what anyone thought.
But now the young lady has actually started to wonder if she is a trouble. If she goes to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, will she also consider whether she will cause trouble to His Royal Highness?

My lady, when did she become so cautious?

Xiaolu was amazed repeatedly.

Sure enough, what is written in those romantic novels is true. When a woman has a lover, she will become anxious and cautious, as if she has become a different person...

Xiaolu secretly compared it and found that her young lady was exactly the same?!

Isn't this the current state of my young lady?

Fortunately, Xiaolu only has a vague understanding of these things and has no experience. If it were Lin Jiangnian who came, he would be able to tell Xu Lan's current state at a glance... She is definitely in love!

……

"Miss, how could you think like that!"

Xiaolu put away her thoughts and comforted her young lady: "If His Highness really likes you, how could he think you are trouble?"

Hearing this, Xu Lan looked even more desolate: "So, does he really like me?"

Xu Lan's tone was uncertain and extremely unconfident.

Until now, she is still not sure about Lin Jiangnian's feelings for him.

Although Lin Jiangnian accepted her after she expressed her feelings that time.

But, but...

Xu Lan couldn't describe it. Although the two seemed to have established a relationship, Xu Lan always felt that something was missing!
The relationship between them was not as...close as she had imagined?
Xu Lan couldn't find the reason either!

I just feel insecure for no apparent reason!
And I have extremely little confidence!
Especially knowing that Lin Jiangnian was accompanied by that princess, and... those two vixens!!

When Xu Lan thought of Jinxiu's beautiful face, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.

What comes with it is a growing sense of uneasiness.

"Miss, please stop imagining things!"

Xiaolu has been with Xu Lan for many years, how could she not know what the young lady is thinking?
"Since His Royal Highness has accepted you, Miss, he must be sincere to you!"

Xiaolu smiled and said, "Your Highness is not a heartless man who loves the new and dislikes the old and does not keep his promises!"

"Humph, he just gets bored easily and loves new things easily. He is a heartless man!"

Xu Lan looked resentful and snorted angrily.

With that vixen by his side, that guy must have forgotten who he is, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Lan felt even more worried, and her tone became even more aggrieved: "If he really has me in his heart, why has he never taken the initiative to look for me?"

"I've been back for so long, but I haven't seen him come once... He must have forgotten me in his heart!"

"You bastard don't take me seriously at all!"

Xu Lan's face was full of anger.

"Hey, how come I hear someone scolding me as soon as I get here?"

Just then, a familiar, teasing voice suddenly sounded from under the eaves.

At the window, the master and servant were both startled when they heard the familiar voice. Then they looked up at the same time.

A familiar figure appeared under the eaves at some point.

He was leaning against the wall, his arms folded across his chest, looking at the master and servant lying on the windowsill with a half-smile.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?!"

Xiaolu's eyes widened in vain, as if she didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would suddenly appear in front of her?

Her tone suddenly became stammering, and she quickly stood up and saluted.

Xu Lan on the side was also confused!

I had just been cursing when the real person suddenly appeared in front of me?

Caught off guard, Xu Lan was confused for a moment.

"You, why are you here?!"

Under the eaves, Lin Jiangnian looked at her, smiling: "If I hadn't come, how could I hear you scolding me here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Lan's fair face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

She could never have imagined that the bad things she said behind his back would be heard by the person who said them!
The shame of being caught made Xu Lan want to turn around and run away.

But then, when he saw the playful and teasing smile on Lin Jiangnian's face, the feeling of grievance in Xu Lan's heart suddenly emerged again.

"Huh, did I say something wrong?!"

Xu Lan raised his head and chest and stared at him with confidence.

"You have a vixen in your house, how can you still remember me?!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed, feeling a little guilty. Xu Lan was right to scold him. He had not taken the initiative to come to Xu's house to look for Xu Lan in such a long time since he came back.

It's normal for the girl to be resentful of him.

"I'm here!"

Lin Jiangnian comforted him, "I came here specially to see you today."

"What do you want me to do?!"

Xu Lan snorted coldly and turned her head away in a somewhat arrogant manner. But a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Soon, she regained her haughty demeanor.

Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything, but just glanced at Xiaolu beside him.

Xiaolu beside him blinked and immediately understood.

"Well, Your Highness, Miss, please chat slowly first. I have something else to do, so I'll talk to you later... No, I won't be back..."

"You guys chat slowly, communicate slowly..."

Xiaolu ran away and slipped away, leaving the place for the young lady and the prince to be alone together.

Before leaving, Xiaolu secretly gave her young lady a look.

Miss, you must seize the opportunity...

After doing all this, Xiaolu ran away, but couldn't help sighing in his heart.

I am such a considerate and well-behaved little maid who worries about my mistress' happiness so much!
