son, don't mess around

Xu Lan gnashed her teeth in anger, but she couldn't expose him, so she could only glare at the guy angrily, her face puffed up with anger.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian was indeed pretending to be weak.

Of course, you can't just pretend.

He was indeed very weak, his internal energy was excessively depleted. Although his roots were not damaged, he certainly could not recover so quickly.

Of course, what’s more important is that if Lin Jiangnian acts as if nothing is wrong in front of his aunt, his aunt might leave immediately.

When Lin Jiangnian pretended to be weak, his aunt became extremely nervous and anxiously checked Lin Jiangnian's physical condition.

"What did the doctor say? You were so weak, didn't they notice?"

"I'm fine."

Lin Jiangnian said weakly: "My body is weak, external supplements are of little use, I can only take care of it myself."

Jiang Yuxiang's eyes were full of worry. Ever since she learned that Lin Jiangnian was in trouble, she had been worried.

Jiang Nian is her sister's only child. If anything happened to him, she would not know how to explain to her sister.

Of course, there may be other reasons besides this one.

After learning that Lin Jiangnian had been attacked that night, Jiang Yuxiang was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night. She was slightly relieved until she learned that Lin Jiangnian had returned safely.

But even so, she still felt uneasy, especially seeing Lin Jiangnian looking so weak, she became even more anxious.

There was a hint of blame in his tone: "You brat always does such impulsive things. This time, he almost lost his life!"

"Can't you take care of yourself?!"

Jiang Yuxiang was anxious and angry.

She had already learned about the assassination that night from Zhiyuan. In the final analysis, it was this brat who was determined to set a trap for the Sun family and went alone to meet the Princess Xu.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened and he was targeted by an assassin.

I heard that he had a narrow escape and almost lost his life.

At this moment, Jiang Yuxiang only felt fortunate and scared.

"Aunt, I know I was wrong, I won't do it again next time!"

"Do you still want a next time?!"

"No, there will definitely not be a next time."

Lin Jiangnian promised honestly: "I will never act alone in the future."

After hearing Lin Jiangnian's solemn promise, Jiang Yuxiang's expression eased a lot, and he said unhappily: "I hope you keep your word and don't mess around again!"

"Certainly not!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed and was still talking when he heard a chuckle next to him. He saw Xu Lan was still standing there. Looking at Lin Jiangnian being humiliated and being scolded by Aunt Xiang like a son, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

It’s so refreshing!

She was always bullied by this guy on weekdays. It was rare to see this guy accept a scolding so obediently. Xu Lan was very happy.

Especially when seeing Lin Jiangnian's frustrated look, Xu Lan couldn't help laughing out loud, and even laughed out loud twice without trying to hide it.

"why are you laughing?"

Lin Jiangnian said angrily.

"Don't bully Xiao Lan!"

As soon as Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth, Jiang Yuxiang beside him glared at him: "Why are you venting your anger on Xiaolan?!"

"Aunt Xiang, he always bullies me."

Xu Lan seemed to have found a backer, and quickly complained to Aunt Xiang pitifully: "He bullies me every day, and scolds me when he disagrees with me... I am so miserable..."

Lin Jiangnian: "?"

When did this girl learn to complain?

Also, when did I ever scold her?

Listening to Xu Lan's crying, Jiang Yuxiang's face changed slightly, her pretty eyebrows raised, staring at Lin Jiangnian: "Are you always bullying Xiao Lan?!"

"Not only did he scold her, but he also beat her?!"

It’s no wonder that Jiang Yuxiang, who acts like an elder, has quite a bit of temperament.

Although she is almost the same age as Lin Jiangnian, her temperament becomes even more outstanding because of her elder status.

Lin Jiangnian looked at this face, and inexplicably recalled the 'pale' face that night in his mind, and the two images overlapped.

For a moment, I felt a little dazed.

"Aunt, don't listen to her nonsense. When did I ever hit her?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "If I really hit her, would she have kept it to herself until now? I'm afraid she would have spread it all over the world!"

"You were the one who beat me... You didn't let me tell anyone, and you threatened me and beat me!"

Xu Lan felt aggrieved.

She was so dramatic that she started acting.

"Aunt Xiang, he is the one who bullied and threatened me, you have to stand up for me!"

Jiang Yuxiang naturally knew that Xu Lan's words were somewhat exaggerated, but as an elder, it was natural for her to step forward at this time.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Jiangnian say slowly: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I ever hit you? If you want to talk about hitting you..."

"Does spanking count as hitting?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Xu Lan, who was originally happily complaining, suddenly froze and stood there in a daze. Her face was dull at first, and then it began to turn red with shame at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, her face turned red in an instant.

"you you……"

Xu Lan didn't expect Lin Jiangnian to talk about this. Suddenly, some unbearable scenes emerged in her mind. She was embarrassed and panicked: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

She was so embarrassed that she couldn't stand being teased by Lin Jiangnian in private. But Aunt Xiang was still beside her. How could this bastard say this in front of Aunt Xiang?
Is he still shameless? !

bah bah bah!
Jiang Yuxiang, who was standing by, obviously didn't expect this either. While she was stunned, her eyes fell on Xu Lan's shy face and the uneasy and embarrassed expression on her face.

A strange feeling emerged in my heart.

I can’t explain it, but I feel uncomfortable.

When she looked up again, her eyes met Lin Jiangnian's again. The moment they met, Jiang Yuxiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Then, he moved away in a panic.

Then, she said angrily, "You little bastard, don't bully Xiao Lan, don't act like a hooligan."

"Ok."

"Humph!"

Jiang Yuxiang snorted coldly. For some reason, she felt that the temperature in the room seemed a little high.

She stood up: "You two can chat slowly, I won't disturb you!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the two people in the room with a complicated look, then stood up and left, as if she was fleeing.

After Jiang Yuxiang left, Lin Jiangnian and Xu Lan were left in the room. Lin Jiangnian looked at her with a playful look: "Complaining, huh?"

"You, what do you want to do?!"

Xu Lan caught a glimpse of Lin Jiangnian's malicious gaze, and immediately realized that something was wrong. He turned around and wanted to run away: "I, I'm leaving too!"

As he spoke, he ran very fast.

"Run, run! You can run away from the monk but not the temple. When I get better, I will be the first one to deal with you."

Lin Jiangnian's vicious voice came from behind.

Xu Lan, who ran to the door, stumbled when she heard this, then turned back and glared at Lin Jiangnian in shame and anger: "If you dare to bully me, I will go and complain to Aunt Xiang!"

"Let her teach you a lesson!"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows. Let his aunt teach him a lesson?
Hey, this silly girl probably doesn't know yet, it's not certain who will teach whom a lesson...

……

After all, Lin Jiangnian's body was just weak, and his bones and internal organs were not damaged. He only had some minor injuries, which were not too serious.

After resting for half a day and regaining some strength, I was able to get up from the bed.

Although he couldn't use his inner strength and Qi, nor could he practice Qigong for a long time, he was able to walk without any problems. The Jiang residence had been on high alert for a long time. After Lin Jiangnian woke up, his uncles Jiang Zheng and Jiang Ningkang came to visit him. Even Jiang Shaoan came and asked nervously if Lin Jiangnian was okay.

In Jiang Shaoan's eyes, his cousin is now his supporter who will help him brag and boost his courage in the future, so he must not let anything get into trouble.

The dandy young master back then now only follows Lin Jiangnian's lead.

The last one to come was Mr. Jiang, who looked very unhappy. Knowing that his grandson was almost attacked and killed, Mr. Jiang was rarely angry.

At the same time, he was bound to find out the assassin who assassinated Lin Jiangnian. Now that Lin Jiangnian was safe and sound, revenge should be put on the agenda.

Although it has been speculated that the mastermind behind the scenes is most likely the Xu Palace, it is obviously unlikely that the Xu Palace alone can control the killer far away in Jiangnan to assassinate Lin Jiangnian.

There must be the involvement of the Jiangnan family behind this. What Lin Jiangnian has to do next is to find out the family behind this.

However, Lin Jiangnian no longer needs to supervise these things personally, as the Jiang family and the prince's personal guards will take care of it.

At the same time, the news that Prince Lin and Princess Xu were attacked in Chujiang City has spread. The most troubled person right now should be the prefect of Chujiang City. If he can't find out the truth as soon as possible and give an explanation, his tenure as prefect may be over.

……

The cold little courtyard was quiet.

Lin Jiangnian came to this yard with the help of Xiaozhu.

Lin Jiangnian's movements were no longer impeded, but Xiaozhu was worried about his highness's health, so she still followed him.

"Your Highness, where are we going?"

"Go meet someone."

"Meeting whom?"

"A woman who might have to serve you tea in the future."

"what?!"

Xiao Zhu opened her eyes wide in astonishment. Serve her tea?

Xiao Zhu didn't even dare to think about it.

She is just His Highness' personal maid. How could she be asked to serve tea and water to a personal maid like him?
"Your Highness, you lied to Xiaozhu again!"

"It's true."

Lin Jiangnian walked under the eaves.

Two maids were guarding the door.

"Your Highness."

The maid spoke respectfully.

"How is she?"

"Your Highness, Princess Xu has woken up, but her injuries are still serious."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, not surprised by the result.

Being alive is a blessing, and being able to save a life is a blessing among blessings.

Princess Xu?

Xiao Zhu, who was standing by, listened and slightly widened his eyes.

what the hell!

The person who came to see me was obviously Princess Xu.

Your Highness can't possibly ask the princess to serve you tea and water, right?
Your Highness is indeed lying.

"I'll go see her."

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and walked into the room.

In the quiet room, the air was filled with the faint scent of herbs. Lin Jiangnian came behind the screen and saw a beautiful figure lying on the bed.

Princess Xu!

The Princess Xu, who was full of energy and vigor in the past, disappeared, and was replaced by an extremely pale, bloodless and haggard face.

He was wearing loose casual clothes and the gunshot wound on his shoulder had been re-bandaged. I heard that the wound was a little inflamed, but fortunately it was treated properly and no one was killed.

After three or four days of coma, the Princess of Xu finally woke up. However, due to excessive blood loss, she was still in a daze. Even after waking up, she was still in a trance.

Until she heard footsteps, she turned her head with difficulty and caught a glimpse of a familiar face.

Then, she stared at him blankly.

"Counting this time, you already owe this prince four lives."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her, smiling: "Have you figured out how to repay me, Prince?"

Hearing this, Xu Chaoge suddenly smiled, which added a touch of surprise to her weak and pale face.

"Being a cow or a horse?"

"It looks like you haven't forgotten. I feel relieved then."

Lin Jiangnian said, casually sitting down beside the bed: "Move over, let me lie down too."

Xu Chaoge was stunned, and a barely perceptible shyness flashed in her eyes. She seemed to want to move, but as soon as she moved, the pain in her shoulder came over her, and she suddenly felt weak all over, and a trace of pain appeared on her face.

"Forget it, you'd better not move, or you'll tear the wound later."

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "You should wait until you recover, and then come back to serve me like a slave."

Xu Chaoge looked weak, but seemed to be in a good mood: "Are you so anxious?"

"Can you not be in a hurry?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed and said, "What if you turn hostile and deny your promise?"

Hearing this, Xu Chaoge lowered his eyes slightly: "I will not default on my debt."

"That's fine."

Lin Jiangnian nodded with satisfaction, "And what we said that night still counts, right?"

"what?"

"That's what you said before you died?"

Lin Jiangnian helped her recall: "What do you mean you haven't slept with a man before you die...what do you mean it's such a pity? You said you wanted to have some fun before you die?"

"You also asked me to help you... This should count, you won't regret it, right?"

A blush visibly appeared on Xu Chaoge's pale face and then quickly spread.

Lin Jiangnian's words immediately reminded her of the night she escaped...

She was in a daze at the time and thought she was going to die. She said a lot of confusing and messy words.

At that time, she really thought she was dead, so she talked nonsense.

But now that she was sober, she recalled what she had said at that time, and Xu Chaoge was immediately filled with shame. Especially when Lin Jiangnian repeated her words word for word, she felt the urge to find a place to hide.

No matter how shameless you are, you can't do this, right?

How could I be so shameless at that time?

You're almost dying, and you're still thinking about sleeping with a man?

"you……"

As if due to shyness and excitement, Xu Chaoge's complexion became much rosier. She said in a weak but unpleasant voice: "Can you not talk about this for now?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about another thing."

Lin Jiangnian spoke.

"what's up?"

"Just to mention our assassination attempt..."

At this point, Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on her, the smile on his face faded, and he slowly said, "It was your father who did it, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Xu Chaoge's face gradually disappeared.

fell into silence.
