son, don't mess around

As we headed north, the weather became increasingly hot.

In the summer, traveling is the most tiring.

The scorching sun during the day was so intense that no matter how we tried to cool off, we couldn't escape the heat, and the journey north slowed down a lot.

After leaving Linzhou after a journey of more than ten days, the group arrived at the intersection of Linzhou and Chuzhou. After another ten days of travel, they would reach Jiangnan.

Hearing about the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, Xu Lan was very much yearning for it, but this hot summer day can easily make people lose their mood.

However, the journey north was not boring at all.

Everyone has their own thoughts and little calculations.

Ever since the two of them bumped into each other last night and caught each other when they returned, the fragile agreement between Jinxiu and Xu Lan, which was not very reliable to begin with, has completely collapsed!

Both of them believed that the other was fickle and untrustworthy, and that the wound on Lin Jiangnian's mouth was the work of the other.

As a result, the relationship between the two, which had just eased a little, became even more tense.

As soon as they meet, they will definitely fight with each other!
Jinxiu was okay, she wasn't as hot-tempered as Xu Lan, she just made some sarcastic remarks when she saw Xu Lan. Xu Lan was more direct, in her mouth Jinxiu was a synonym for a vixen anyway, so it was common to see the two of them quarreling with each other!

And it was precisely because of the mutual suspicion between the two that they completely overlooked the fact that the real culprit of this incident...had already quietly hidden himself away!

Ever since the night when Lin Jiangnian broke into An Ning's tent and forcibly pushed down her "chastity arch", she has been running away in panic whenever she sees Lin Jiangnian these days.

Even if he couldn't run away, he would stay far away and would not let Lin Jiangnian get close to him.

Because there were many people around on weekdays and An Ning was always with the eldest princess and Jinxiu, Lin Jiangnian had little chance to take action.

Originally, he had thought of finding an opportunity to wait until late at night and then go into An Ning's tent to have a good emotional exchange with her. But An Ning had learned her lesson and these nights she either slept with Jinxiu or went to the princess's tent.

We will never give Lin Jiangnian any chance to take advantage of any loopholes again!

The girl was extremely thin-skinned and timid. After being forcefully kissed by Lin Jiangnian several times, it was normal for her to feel ashamed to face people.

Lin Jiangnian is not in a hurry!
The little girl can't be impatient and needs to take it slow.

No matter what, in Lin Jiangnian's view, the little girl An Ning is already part of his plan.

As for what to do if Jinxiu knew...

Jinxiu has been angry with Xu Lan these days and has even forgotten about An Ning.

On the other side, Liu Su was also angry with Lin Jiangnian.

Ever since Lin Jiangnian shamelessly said "I want both" that day, Saint Lady Liu has been furious!

The reaction was extremely intense!
Based on Saint Lady Liu's previous temper, she would probably run away immediately.

However, Liu Su was seriously injured this time, so even if she wanted to leave, it would be useless. So, her attitude towards Lin Jiangnian was... to ignore him!

Just like An Ning, avoid it!
However, compared to An Ning, it is obviously not that easy for Liu Su to avoid Lin Jiangnian.

"What are you doing here?!"

On the official road heading north, in the last carriage.

Liu Su was not familiar with the others and was injured, so he was in a separate carriage, which gave Lin Jiangnian the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

At this moment, inside the carriage, Liu Su put on the red dress again, regaining her former graceful and elegant temperament. Although her face was still pale, it could not conceal her beauty at all.

But at this moment, Saint Lady Liu had a sullen face and stared coldly at the uninvited guest who broke in.

"Of course I came to see you!"

Lin Jiang smiled and came to sit next to Liu Su.

"Look at me?"

Liu Su sneered: "No need, go with your little sisters."

Lin Jiangnian sat next to Liu Su and took her hand: "Are you still angry with me?"

"No!"

Liu Suleng glanced at him coldly: "How dare I be angry with you, His Royal Highness?"

Well, you are really sarcastic!
"Look at what you said. Isn't it thanks to you that I am the prince?"

As Lin Jiangnian spoke, he rubbed Liu Su's small hand. Liu Su tried hard to pull it back, but to no avail. She stared at him with a slightly red face.

"Oh, I dare not take credit for it. You are the well-deserved prince. What does it have to do with me?"

Liu Su's tone remained the same as always.

Lin Jiangnian didn't take it to heart. This woman has always been like this, stubborn and hypocritical.

"Speaking of this matter, I remembered something!"

Lin Jiangnian paused and suddenly said, "Tell me, why did I appear in that dilapidated temple the night you first saw me?"

"do not know."

Liu Su had a blank expression on her face and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"This is very wrong!"

Lin Jiangnian said, "If my identity is fake, everything can be explained by coincidence. But as the real Prince of Lin... I appeared at the scene where the Prince of Lin died that night. Don't you think it's incredible?"

Indeed, Lin Jiangnian’s appearance in the temple that night was related to the Prince of Lin!

But the question is, what is really going on behind this?

"You said that day that besides you, there were three other forces that appeared that night."

"One of them is probably related to Xuzhou Prince Xu's Mansion, but the remaining two forces have not been found out yet..."

Until now, the two forces have still not been found. They have not shown up until now and are hiding so deeply, it is incredible.

With the intelligence capabilities of the Lin Palace, even the most mysterious force in the world would not be so clueless.

Where exactly went wrong?
Although Liu Su didn't want to answer Lin Jiangnian, she was still very concerned about what happened that night.

After all, this was something she had personally initiated, and now she was dealing with this guy... naturally she wanted to know the truth.

"Could the other force be someone from the imperial court?"

Liu Su glanced at him, neither cold nor indifferent.

"Court?"

This possibility cannot be ruled out. In fact, if it was the work of the previous emperor, it does not seem impossible.

"Of course, there is another possibility."

"for example?"

"For example, someone from your Lin Wang Mansion... There is a traitor in your Lin Wang Mansion!"

After hearing this, Lin Jiangnian began to ponder deeply.

...It's not impossible.

The Lin Wang Mansion is a large and powerful place with good and bad people, and the possibility of a traitor cannot be ruled out.

"Why, are you trying to figure out your origins now?"

Liu Su glanced at him again.

"I want to figure it out, otherwise I won't feel at ease!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed. As long as he didn't figure this matter out, he would feel like an invisible pair of eyes were staring at him in secret.

"Even you, the Prince of Lin, can't find the answer. How can you expect a cult saint like me to help you?"

Liu Su pouted.

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian smiled, then reached out and hugged Liu Su in his arms.

"open!"

Liu Su struggled.

Lin Jiangnian ignored her and forcibly hugged Liu Su beside him. Seeing that she was still blushing and struggling, he threatened her again: "Don't move, or I will be rude!"

Liu Su's body froze, and she stared at him in shame and anger: "Despicable!"

"How can this be called mean?"

Lin Jiangnian looked down at her and said, "But you promised me before."

"What did I promise you?"

"You promised me that as long as I can beat you, you will listen to me." Lin Jiangnian said firmly.

Liu Su was stunned for a moment, and naturally remembered that he had indeed agreed to it that time.

only……

"When have you ever been able to beat me?"

Liu Su glared at him.

This guy's martial arts improvement is indeed amazing, but there is still a gap between his martial arts skills and mine.

"Now?" Lin Jiangnian said, "You are no match for me now!"

Liu Su was startled, and then became even more annoyed: "I'm injured now!"

"Isn't that it?!"

Lin Jiangnian said confidently: "You are injured now, so you are not as strong as me. You can't beat me now, so don't you have to listen to me?"

"You promised it yourself!"

Liu Su was stunned. Could this be the explanation?
"This, this doesn't count!"

Liu Su said angrily: "You are not my opponent at all, wait until I recover!"

"When your injury is healed, that's a matter for the future. As for now..."

Lin Jiangnian put one hand around Liu Su's waist, caressing it gently through her clothes: "Now, you have to listen to me..."

"Saint Lady Liu, you don't want to..."

"you dare?!"

Liu Su's beautiful eyes turned red with shame, she glared at him angrily, and stretched out her hand to slap Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian grabbed it, and seeing that Liu Su was very emotional, he quickly comforted her: "Okay, I was just kidding you, don't get excited...it will be bad if your injury relapses later."

Liu Su snorted coldly and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Then let me go!"

Lin Jiangnian pretended to be deaf and dumb: "Your injury is recovering very quickly, and it should be fine in a few days!"

Liu Su rolled her eyes.

How could she not see what this guy was thinking?

Do it on purpose!

However, I let him go.

"When I get better, the first thing I will do is stab you to death with a sword!" Liu Su said angrily.

"Are you willing to?"

"What's there to be reluctant about for a heartless man?"

Liu Su snorted coldly and glanced at him again: "But, your lovers and mistresses will probably be reluctant to let you go, right?"

"Look how rude your words are!"

"Was that wrong?"

"It can't be said that you are wrong, but I always feel that you are scolding yourself."

Liu Su cried out, then suddenly reacted.

"you……"

"Alright, alright, calm down!"

Lin Jiangnian quickly reached out and gently comforted her.

"Where are your hands?!"

Only then did Liu Su notice that Lin Jiangnian's hand, which was originally on her waist, had fallen on her chest and was gently stroking it.

It seemed like he was comforting her, but in reality he was secretly taking advantage of her.

"Ahem... I'm used to it!"

Liu Su sneered: "Are you used to touching that woman?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "If you keep saying this, we won't be able to continue the conversation."

“Is this my problem?”

Liu Su stared at him unhappily.

She doesn't want to either!
But this guy is so infuriating!
And more importantly... she was unhappy!
Uncomfortable!
"Don't be so hostile to them..."

Lin Jiang young sighed.

"I have tried very hard not to have any hostility towards them!"

Liu Su's face was expressionless.

If she had her old personality, she would have killed all those messy women long ago!
How could a woman as proud as the Holy Maiden of the Celestial God Church tolerate those women?

However, as time goes by, her mentality has undergone tremendous changes.

But in the final analysis, no matter how much she could accept turning a blind eye, she always felt uncomfortable whenever the matter was brought up.

Everyone is selfish, especially when it comes to the most important people and things. Is there any woman who can unconditionally and wholeheartedly accept sharing her man with another woman?

Those women who are willing and keen to share are either mentally ill or have holes in their brains!
Even Xu Lan, who seems to have the most carefree and easy-going personality, cannot be completely emotionless.

However, she knew her own identity and position, and knew that she couldn't fight for it. But even so, she would still have some small emotions occasionally.

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian didn't know what to say.

Somewhat guilty.

So he wisely chose to keep his mouth shut and held Liu Su's soft and delicate body in his arms. As the carriage swayed and bumped, their bodies rubbed against each other gently.

"Why don't you attack the princess?"

Just when there was silence between the two for a while, Liu Su suddenly spoke again.

Lin Jiangnian turned his head and saw Liu Su staring at him intently, with a look that seemed to have deep meaning.

"?"

What nonsense is she talking about?
"Don't dare? Or..."

Liu Su's eyes slowly slid down from Lin Jiangnian's face: "Still not working?"

"??"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but speak. Seeing Liu Su's suspicious look, he sneered, "Don't you know whether this prince can do it or not?"

A blush immediately appeared on Liu Su's fair face, and she looked away in panic.

"I, I don't know."

“Who knows you!”

Haha, you’re still being stubborn!

"really do not know?"

Lin Jiangnian leaned close to her ear and said with a half-smile, "Then how about letting you see it again?"

"Shut up!"

Liu Su was instantly embarrassed and angry, and gritted her teeth to tell Lin Jiangnian to shut up and not let him continue.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and looked at him again: "Since you think you have no problem... why can't you get her?"

Lin Jiangnian was puzzled: "Why are you asking this?"

"Never mind, just answer me!"

Liu Su stared at him with burning eyes: "You didn't even let go of the two maids beside the princess, why don't you dare to do anything to her?"

"What? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "It's not what you think."

"What's going on with that I thought?"

Liu Su pressed forward step by step, his burning eyes filled with scrutiny.

"This……"

I don’t know why Liu Su suddenly asked this, but Lin Jiangnian thought about it and shook his head: "I don’t know either, maybe... the time has not come yet?"

"hypocritical!"

Liu Su sneered: "Why didn't you say that when you bullied me before?"

"After all, isn't it you who can't do it?"

Liu Su's soft and beautiful eyes were full of contempt for him.

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

There is a sense of humiliation in one's dignity as a man.
