The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 149 Juxianzhai 4
There are thoughts and moves in the heart.Duanmu Ling just turned his head slightly, and everyone seemed to know where his eyes were going, and quickly made way for him - directly to Xia Jinchai.

Just as Duanmu Ling thought, Bai Jiujiu was indeed sitting directly opposite Xia Jinchai.However, even though the dishes on the table had been swept up in a mess by her, her little face was full of unhappiness.

Did you get scolded, or did you mistakenly think that you broke your promise?
Duanmu Ling's heart tightened, and he walked towards Bai Jiujiu unexpectedly.

When she finally raised her head and met her gaze, Duanmuling blurted out excitedly: "Jiujiu—"

"General Duanmu." Bai Jiujiu didn't get excited because of this, but her small face was filled with embarrassment.The voice of speaking is also much lighter than before.If he hadn't looked at her mouth shape, Duanmuling probably wouldn't have known that she had responded.

Xia Jinchai, who looked at everything calmly, saw Duanmuling walking towards this direction faster and faster, his face was still full of concern, and immediately let out a "cough cough" in his heart.

Only then did Duanmu Ling realize that he had unintentionally neglected Lord Chai.

"The last general, Duanmuling, has met Lord Chai!" Duanmuling saluted respectfully.Don't worry about anything else, just for the prince not to vent his anger on Bai Jiujiu after he left, alas!

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, two voices followed closely behind him, one old and one young, one thick and the other soft.

"Your official, An Yuansong, has met Lord Chai!"

"The little girl, An Shuiyao, has met Lord Chai!"

Xia Jinchai smiled.It's really rare that An Yuansong, who is in the position of prime minister, can show such a big gift to himself in public.

Immediately waved his hands to signal the two to stand up: "Why should Prime Minister An be so polite! Hurry up!"

Unexpectedly, An Yuansong was very sincere, not only did not straighten up immediately, but continued to bow: "Your Majesty, An Yuansong, thank the prince for saving the dog girl!"

Following An Yuansong's solemn bow, An Shuiyao made a big gift.Seeing that the father and daughter showed no signs of deceit, Xia Jinchai was puzzled.

"My lord, my subordinates will tell you later!" Behind him, Xian Shan Fu Er, who had been hiding in the crowd, said softly.

Look at the father and daughter who are paying thanks, and they also have a slight smile on Xianshan.It seems... It's gratitude from the heart.

Xia Jinchai suddenly understood.Hehe, it's really unexpected that Xianshan, a dull man, would actually do good deeds outside behind his back.

Immediately smiled and said: "The effort of raising one's hand is nothing to worry about. Hurry up and get rid of the ceremony!"

These words made An Yuansong, who was full of upright and serious expression, breathe a sigh of relief.Slowly got up with his beloved daughter An Shuiyao.

This brief scene immediately caused the surrounding spectators to sigh.Tsk tsk, I always thought that Prime Minister An Yuansong would disdain to be with the decadent and uninhibited Lord Chai.Today, however, it was an eye-opener to understand that these two people have a very close friendship!The dignified prime minister's daughter owes Prince Chai a favor for no reason!

Countless people kept watching and speculating, and even Bai Jiujiu, who was surrounded by him, became curious.She looked inquisitively at An Shuiyao, who had always been proud in her impression, but was robbed by a blue-gray figure.

The man's eyes flashed a little uneasy and excited, although his lips were pursed, but the anxious expression on his face told her that he had thousands of words to say to her, but he was suffering from the lack of time now.

It would be great if Bai Jiujiu wasn't the maid of Prince Chai's mansion!Duanmuling thought.At this moment, he really wished he could immediately drag Bai Jiujiu to a clean place to explain clearly.Tell her the decisions she has made in the past few days.

Finally, after a lot of patience, he, who has always been capable and calm, lost his patience.

"My lord, I have something I want to say to Miss Jiujiu at the end, please let me do it!"

Xia Jinchai didn't speak, but looked at Bai Jiujiu with a sneer and asked with his eyes.Hmph, didn't you want to hide from him just now, what about now, are you going or not?

Bai Jiujiu immediately felt uneasy about such a choice.He complained endlessly in his heart, but he was almost forced to open his mouth because of the eyes of everyone shooting over him.

"If you have anything to say, the general will say it here. Jiujiu listens carefully." The euphemistic refusal, the tone of life, if not for the strong psychological support of senior brother Huang Min, Jiujiu probably wouldn't be able to say this. kind of talk.

Xia Jinchai felt relieved and drank a glass of wine.

This wine seemed to have the magical function of emotional transfer, and the hearty Xia Jinchai felt much more comfortable in his limbs and bones.However, Duanmuling seemed to have been splashed with cold water, and his originally excited expression turned pale in an instant.

Is this a rejection?He expressed inability to accept.

Looking at Bai Jiujiu in disbelief, he managed to catch his breath.

Duanmu Ling smiled wryly.I'm so stupid, Jiujiu is so timid, and Lord Chai is so fierce, it's no wonder she dared to agree to her rashly.

"I originally wanted to ask Miss Jiujiu something, since that's the case, I'll ask you some other time when I'm free." Duanmuling casually made an excuse.

Hearing such words, Bai Jiujiu finally nodded in relief.It was just a pair of small hands, but they wrinkled the corners of Huang Min's clothes standing beside her table until they couldn't wrinkle any more.

I'm afraid, she really guessed what he was going to say.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and even Xia Jinchai, who was in a good mood, felt uncomfortable being watched by a crowd of idlers.

Teng stood up and said to the guard Xianshan who was standing behind him, "Pay the bill and go back to the house!" Then he went downstairs with a wave of his sleeves.

As for Bai Jiujiu, as if she was afraid that she would be punished if she couldn't keep up, she trotted on her short legs.He looked flustered, but he was ignorant.

Arriving at a place where there was no longer any siege, Liu Wanning, who had been holding back for a long time and was unhappy for a long time, glanced at her mockingly.

"Hmph, no one is chasing you, why are you running so passionately?"

Bai Jiujiu's footsteps froze immediately.That's right, General Duanmu didn't come after him at all, what was he afraid of?
The footsteps slowed down, but within a few moments, Xia Jinchai was several steps away.

But Liu Wanning, who was walking behind her just now, took the opportunity to take two steps forward, and walked shoulder to shoulder with Xia Jinchai with a smile on her face.

"Jun..." The soft and waxy voice just started, but it was interrupted by Xia Jinchai raising his hand.

"Have you never had a memory?"

"Hehe..." Liu Wanning covered her mouth and chuckled nonchalantly, and then changed her words in a whimpering voice.

"My lord, Ning'er misses my lord so much! My lord always misses Ning'er."

Seeing the pair of soft clothes unknowingly pulling towards his arms, Xia Jinchai pulled back calmly.Then he turned his head and yelled loudly behind him.

"Bai Jiujiu!"
