The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 709 Rogue!

Cao Heying hurried to the front hall, and sure enough, she saw her mother's forbearable anger, but because she was still in the Xiao residence, in front of Mrs. Xiao, her mother could not show any emotions, lest Mrs. Xiao notice Arrived, so only a pair of eyes showed a little clue, full of anger.

Seeing her daughter, Mrs. Cao had an unnatural smile on her face, and said to Mrs. Xiao, "Mrs. Xiao, since there is something going on at home, I will take my leave today and come to congratulate another day."

Mrs. Xiao also heard the servants of Cao's mansion say that there was an emergency in Cao's mansion, so she didn't say much to persuade Mrs. Cao when she heard that, she stood up and said, "Since there is an emergency in your mansion, please help me." Go back and deal with it first! You are welcome to come over anytime you want!"

Mrs. Cao said a few words of politeness, then she couldn't wait any longer and left in a hurry with her daughter.

Mrs. Xiao went to work on other things with her sister-in-law without thinking too much.

Madam Cao was so angry that her chest heaved violently while sitting in her own carriage, her face with a bright smile twisted slightly, thinking of what the servant said to her, she just, she just...

She thought that He'er should have figured it out a little bit these days, but she didn't expect that not only did she not think it through clearly, but her demonic obstacles became more serious!How dare she stun the servant and sneak out when she and her sister were not in the mansion, how wonderful, how wonderful!She didn't know until today that her daughter, who had always been well-behaved, turned out to be like this, which made her so disappointed!
"Mother, don't be angry. We still don't know what's going on. Let's go back to the house and find out before we talk about it, okay? Don't get angry." Cao Heying sat beside her mother and kept persuading her. In her anger, she also said what Mu Jinxi had said to herself.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cao calmed down some of her anger. Looking at the sensible elder daughter and thinking about the younger daughter, she felt depressed and puzzled.

The two daughters are twins, and they have the same food, clothing, housing, and education since they were young. The couple also have the same attitude towards the two sisters, but why has it become like this now?The eldest daughter did not live up to their expectations. She was just like a qualified lady, with outstanding appearance, gentle temperament, knowledge of books and etiquette, and knowing how to advance and retreat.

But the little girl, before, she just thought that the little girl was just a little more willful, a little more innocent, and a little more quarrelsome, but she never thought that she... would have such thoughts that she shouldn't have!It's just wishful thinking, I don't know what it means!
"If He'er is half as sensible as you, I don't have to worry about it." Mrs. Cao said wearily.

Cao Heying twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Mother, He'er is just, but still young, and she will be sensible when she grows up."

Mrs. Cao glared, "She's still young, isn't she the same age as you? You're not young when she's young? I really don't know what's wrong. You said how did your two sisters grow up like this? What went wrong? Why is she not like you, not even a single bit of your star! It's been a waste of spoiling her all these years!"

Mrs. Cao nagged and chanted all the way. When she arrived at the mansion, the carriage came up from above before it even stopped, and walked towards the backyard in small steps. Cao Heying almost couldn't keep up with her footsteps.

But thinking of what the servant said, she didn't dare to dissuade her anymore, so she could only follow her footsteps as much as possible, and hurried to her sister's yard.

As soon as Mrs. Cao returned to the mansion, she went straight to Cao Hexiang's courtyard, where the servants had already knelt on the ground.Before the madam went out, she repeatedly told them to guard the second lady, not to let the second lady leave the courtyard, let alone the mansion, but now the second lady not only left the courtyard, but also the mansion, and they didn't know who the second lady was. Where did you go, what should you do?

"Who are you going to tell Mrs. Ben what's going on?!" Mrs. Cao asked suppressing her anger.

"Ma'am, it's like this. The second lady said she was uncomfortable and had a stomachache, so she asked the servants to take her to the latrine, but the servants were waiting outside the latrine. After waiting for a long time, they didn't see the second lady come out. The servants are bold. Only after looking at it did I realize that the Second Miss had disappeared at some point..."

Mrs. Cao laughed angrily, "Missing? Are you coaxing Mrs. Ben?" How could such a big person disappear?What a joke!
"Ma'am, this is really the case. The servants don't know what's going on, and the servants don't know how the second lady disappeared from the latrine. Madam has ordered us to take good care of the second lady. , servants dare not disobey!" the maids and servants guarding Cao Hexiang's courtyard shouted loudly.

"You, you are really useless. You can't do such a small thing well. What's the use of keeping you?"

"Mother, don't be angry, it's important to find my sister!" Cao Heying hurried up and said in a low voice.

Mrs. Cao took a deep breath, and shouted to the slave who was kneeling on the ground angrily: "What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and find someone!"

"Yes, ma'am, the servant will go right away."

Mrs. Cao interrogated all the maids around Cao Hexiang again, and she was even more sure that the youngest daughter did it intentionally and premeditatedly!The reason she has been so quiet these days is to numb them, and then take advantage of the fact that they are not in the mansion today to find a chance to sneak out!
I'm really going to piss her off!
"Ying'er, where do you think your younger sister can go?" The servants searched around but found no one, and the guard also said that he didn't see the second young lady going out. Mrs. Cao felt strange and asked her eldest daughter.

Cao Heying frowned tightly, and after thinking for a while, he said hesitantly: "Mother, He'er, could it be that He'er ran to the palace to look for the young prince Juelin?" So low it's barely audible.

Madam Cao's complexion suddenly changed!Standing up abruptly from his seat, his eyes were wide open. In just a short moment, countless lights flashed in his eyes, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind. He gritted his teeth hard, and said harshly: "She Do you want to kill the entire Cao family?"

It would be better if she didn't go, but if she really went to the palace, she really doesn't know what to say as a mother.

After a while, Mrs. Cao closed her eyes, and she calmed down after being extremely angry, and said to Cao Heying, "Ying'er, go and see if your father is back."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Mrs. Cao waited anxiously in the house, but the result of the wait was not what she thought. Her husband hadn't come back yet, and she had to wait until he came back. She was a woman, so she couldn't rush to visit her husband Princess, this is unlikely.But if the master is here, you can use business as an excuse to go to the palace.

It's just that the master doesn't know when he will come back, should he just wait?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Cao made a decision, and said, "Ying'er, you go to the palace right now, just take a look outside, and if you see your younger sister, immediately pull her back, and tie her back! If Nothing is the best! You just wait nearby, your sister is likely to go to find the little prince Juelin, you can’t let her see the little prince Juelin, it will be troublesome if you see him, the little prince Juelin is not like Miss Mu Easy to talk about."

Cao Heying was startled for a moment, then realized, nodded and said, "Okay, mother, I'll go now."

"Pay attention to yourself and act according to the situation, you know?" Mrs. Cao urged with some worry.

Cao Heying took a deep breath and said, "Mother, don't worry, I understand."

Cao Heying got ready and got into the carriage again, this time heading towards the Wangfu.

The Wang Mansion is at the back of Yulin Lane, while the Cao Mansion is in another alley opposite Yulin Lane. The people living in Yulin Lane are either rich or noble, such as the Wang Mansion, the prime minister Xiao, and others. Most of the officials lived in the alley of their homes. To get from this alley to Yulin Alley, they had to go through a big street in the capital, and normally it would take three quarters of an hour.

In order to get to the palace as soon as possible, Cao Heying had to order the driver to speed up. Fortunately, there were not too many people on the street at this time, and there were no accidents. They rushed all the way to the vicinity of the palace smoothly. The carriage could not go directly, otherwise it would be So compelling.Cao Heying got off the carriage at a corner in front of the palace, and after turning this corner, you can see the scene in front of the gate of the palace.

But when she turned around and looked, she was almost scared out of her wits!

The person standing in front of the gate of the palace is his younger sister He Er, but, there is another person, isn't that the young prince Juelin?
Seeing this scene, no matter how stable Cao Heying was, she couldn't help shaking her body, and her maid hurriedly supported her.

"Quick, quick, help me over!"

On the other side, Cao Hexiang and Jue Lin were in a stalemate.

Cao Hexiang couldn't hide her admiration, she raised her head slightly and looked at Juelin, her heart was filled with excitement.

She finally knocked a servant unconscious while her mother and sister were not in the mansion, and then sneaked out of the mansion among the people who delivered the sundries. Although she knew that her parents would be very angry if she did this, she couldn't sit still!

Mother grounded her in the yard, and saw that three days had passed in the blink of an eye, and if she didn't want to get out, then she really had no chance!She felt that her parents and sister thought too much and were too cautious. If they went to tell the young prince Juelin about such an important matter, it would be a credit, not a crime. Why didn't the parents understand?No man would like someone to deceive him, especially a woman who is going to get married.

The little prince Juelin will definitely be very angry when he finds out that Mu Jinxi has deceived her!He valued her so much, but as for her, she failed his importance.

Cao Hexiang subconsciously ignored many things. It wasn't that she didn't know, or that she was stupid. It was just that she seemed to be blinded, only thinking about what she wanted, and those things that could be figured out just by thinking carefully were all ignored. She completely ignored it, otherwise she wouldn't have come outside the palace to block Juelin.

Although Juelin couldn't see anything on his face, his eyes were full of impatience and disgust.This inexplicable woman suddenly appeared and said that she had a very important secret to tell herself, but she didn't say a word for a long time, just staring at herself in a nympho.If she hadn't said that this matter was related to Jin'er, he wouldn't have wasted any time on this woman!He'll let someone blow her away!

"Miss, do you have anything to say directly? My king's time is precious! I don't have time to spend here with you!" Unbearable, Jue Lin said coldly.

Cao Hexiang was very sad to hear his cold and emotionless words, looked at him sadly and wronged and said, "Little prince, have you forgotten the little girl? Have you forgotten the one we met and talked to?"

Cao Hexiang couldn't accept that he really didn't have any impression of herself.She has always been very confident in her appearance. Although she is not considered heavenly, she is definitely a beauty, at least much more beautiful than Mu Jinxi, isn't she?Mu Jinxi's appearance can only be regarded as handsome at best, and has nothing to do with beauty.Since he was tempted by Mu Jinxi, how could he not have the slightest impression of himself?
Jue Lin frowned: "There are more than ten million women I have met with this king! Does this king have to remember everyone who has had a relationship with this king? Absurd! If you want to talk about it, you can If you leave, if you don't leave again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Jue Lin himself was really nervous, he didn't even know who this woman was, so how could she know any secrets related to Jin'er?It was clearly another Mo Xuerui.

No, she is more annoying than Mo Xuerui, at least Mo Xuerui has never come to block her alone, let alone go to the palace to pester him alone, this woman really has no shame!I don't know which lady it is, if he knows, he really has to ask her parents how to educate their daughter!So shameless, he dared to go outside the palace to pester him.

After Jue Lin finished speaking, he was going to pass Cao Hexiang into the mansion, and call the guards in the mansion to send people away. Don't pollute his place outside the palace!
But how could Cao Hexiang be willing to let him leave like this?In a hurry, she ran to Jue Lin, blocking his way to enter the mansion.

Juelin's nimble footsteps stopped before she bumped into her, but her actions made Juelin's eyes turn cold, and he called for someone directly: "Come here!"

Cao Hexiang panicked, and said indiscriminately, "I know that Mu Jinxi has a son!"

The surroundings were quiet, Jue Lin squinted his eyes, didn't speak, just stared at Cao Hexiang lightly, his eyes made Cao Hexiang shudder involuntarily.

"What did you say? What did you just say?" Jue Lin asked very gently and calmly.

Cao Hexiang swallowed, not daring to look directly into Jue Lin's eyes, she lowered her head and said, "My sister and I met you on the Lantern Festival in Taohua Town. At that time, didn't you pretend to be a family and participate in guessing lantern riddles?" ? That man is you, and that woman is Mu Jinxi, right? Then, that child, he is clearly Mu Jinxi's son, isn't he?"

After Cao Hexiang finished speaking, she couldn't help raising her head and looking at Jue Lin expectantly.

Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town?

In Jue Lin’s mind, there are only Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao in the Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town, and other people and things are out of his mind, so even though Cao Hexiang said so, he still said without hesitation: “This king doesn’t know you. You! This king is giving you one last chance, leave immediately, and this king can still act as if nothing happened, otherwise don’t blame this king for being rude!”

Cao Hexiang was greatly shocked, and stared at the handsome man in disbelief, "How could you not know me? Have you forgotten? There is a pair of twin sisters, and finally bought a clock for Mu Jinxi, my lord, you Have you forgotten? This is impossible!"

Jue Lin frowned, he remembered what Cao Hexiang said. It turned out to be the lady who struck up a conversation with him regardless of her status as a husband.It's no wonder that she knows Jin'er's secret, but what does she want?Threatening yourself with this?

Hehe, if she thinks so, she is really naive and overconfident!

"And then?" Jue Lin asked blankly, without even looking at Cao Hexiang.

"What then?" Cao Hexiang was taken aback for a moment, and asked a little puzzled, but didn't understand.

"Why did you come here? Is it just to tell me the truth about you so kindly?" Jue Lin asked mockingly.

Cao Hexiang blushed at Jue Lin's mocking tone, her face became hot, and she became a little embarrassed, because of the contempt and disdain in Jue Lin's tone, as if she was just a despicable villain with some other purpose.

But she is not, she just, just doesn't want to see him being cheated by that bad woman Mu Jinxi, he is the prince of Dachu, he can't ask for any good woman, how can a woman who is already pregnant and gave birth to an innocent woman worthy of him?He deserves the best woman in the world!
"My lord, you misunderstood me. I don't have any other purpose. I just want to see you being cheated by Mu Jinxi." Cao Hexiang whispered sadly.

Jue Lin snorted coldly and said, "What does it have to do with you if this king is cheated? Do you have the right to worry about this king's affairs? Even if this king is cheated by Jin'er, it's because of my willingness!"

After Jue Lin finished speaking, he was about to walk away with his sleeves, but Cao Hexiang was stimulated by his words, and even reached out to pull his sleeves out of composure, but how could Jue Lin let her touch him, even the sleeves would not work, so he With a merciless wave, Cao Hexiang was thrown out, fell a few feet away, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Cao Heying happened to see this scene when she walked over in a hurry, she let out a soft cry, let go of the maid's hand and ran over quickly.

"Hol!"

Cao Hexiang was looking at the cold-faced Juelin with disbelief and heartbreak, she couldn't accept that he would do something to such a weak woman like herself, and it was so heavy, she felt her whole body ached. Pain in the pit of the heart.

Hearing a familiar call, Cao Hexiang slowly came back to his senses, looked at the people around him with tears in his eyes, and asked in surprise and surprise: "Sister? You, why are you here?"

Cao Heying scolded anxiously and angrily: "You still have the nerve to ask me, what have you done yourself? How dare you sneak out of the mansion and come here to the palace? Do you have tofu in your head?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Heying didn't have time to pay attention to her sister. Cao Heying knelt down on the ground with a plop, looked up at the person standing in front of her and begged: "My lord, please calm down. It's all because of my sister-in-law, who offended my lord. Please forgive me." Sin! No matter what He Er said to the lord, the lord doesn't have to take it seriously, Sister She is a demon, and she hasn't recovered yet, please forgive her this time!"

Jue Lin smiled coldly, looking at Cao Hexiang who fell to the ground coldly and ruthlessly, killing intent flashed in his eyes, as if looking at an inanimate object, Cao Hexiang's body couldn't help but tremble slightly from the cold, He leaned against his sister, as if he wanted to seek shelter.

"She sent her up to seek death herself, and this king will naturally fulfill her!"

"My lord! Please calm down my lord! What Sister She did today was her capriciousness. She has absolutely no other intentions. Please be careful, my lord!" After a pause, Cao Heying remembered something and hurriedly said: "Your lord, little The girl went to Xiao Mansion today, and she has already discussed this matter with Ms. Mu, and Ms. Mu promised the little girl that she will not blame her sister for this incident!"

The cold light in Jue Lin's phoenix eyes faded slightly, and he asked, "You said you've already told Jin'er about this? Why should this king trust you?"

"My lord, it's true. The little girl dare not deceive the lord. If the lord doesn't believe me, you can ask Miss Mu. If the little girl really cheated the lord, the lord can deal with the little girl again."

Jue Lin was silent for a while and then said: "For Jin'er's sake, I will spare you once today, go back and keep your mouths shut. If I let the king hear any rumors that are not good for Jin'er, I will You regret coming to this world!"

Cao Heying felt a little relieved, and said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord! Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely tell my parents when I go back, and ask my parents to discipline my sister well, so that I won't cause trouble for my lord and Ms. Mu." of."

Jue Lin snorted softly, glanced coldly at Cao Hexiang, his eyes showed contempt, turned his footsteps, and quickly disappeared behind the gate of the palace, which was also tightly closed.

It was only then that Cao Heying's body softened and sat on the ground as if suddenly without support, only then did she realize that her back was already soaked in cold sweat, soaking the single clothes on her back.

Taking out the handkerchief and wiping the cold sweat off her forehead, Cao Heying then softly shouted to the maid who was standing not far away: "Why don't you come and help the second young miss?"

The servant girl ran over as if she had recovered, and helped the second young lady who was still in grief, shock and disbelief.

Cao Heying walked over to her carriage without saying a word, the maid didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly supported the second young lady to keep up with the eldest young lady.

Cao Hexiang finally woke up from her own thoughts after getting into the carriage and driving for a while. Seeing that she was already in the carriage, she couldn't help but anxiously said, "Sister, how can you take me back? I can't bear it." Sneaked out of the mansion and came to the outside of the palace to see the little prince Juelin, I still have something to say to him, I—”

"Slap!" Cao Heying's slap interrupted Cao Hexiang's words.

Cao Hexiang covered her face and didn't react for a long time. She maintained the posture of being hit and remained motionless for a long time.

Cao Heying was really angry this time. She stared at her younger sister with hatred and gritted her teeth, "Aren't you sober at this time? Did you realize that you regretted your mistake only when you lost your life? If I hadn't come in time just now, do you think you are still alive now? You can still talk here? Do you have any brains?"

Cao Hexiang covered her face, trembling lips, tears in her eyes, and looked at her sister who loved her all the time with aggrieved eyes, "Sister, you, you hit me, you didn't even scold me, but now you hit me ?”

"I beat you for your own good! Do you want to take your life too long, so you ran outside the palace to block the little prince Juelin, who do you think you are, who do you think he is? Even father dare not provoke little Juelin Prince, why do you think you can do it? Just because of the so-called secret in your mouth? You think it is a secret, but it is not a secret at all to the little prince Juelin, he already knew it, you see Won't you come out? He just wanted to kill you! Because you know the secret!"

"It's impossible, how could he know? If he knew, how could he accept Mu Jinxi? It doesn't make sense!" Cao Hexiang shook her head blankly.

"In short, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore! After you go back, you should reflect in your yard. This time, mother will send more people. If you dare to mess around again, I will suggest that mother send you back to your hometown. !” Cao Heying said fiercely.

"Sister!" Cao Hexiang shouted angrily.

She thought that her elder sister would understand her, but she didn't expect that her elder sister, like her mother, would stop her. She didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to expose Mu Jinxi's false face. She was not wrong, and the person who was wrong was Mu Jinxi Xi, she deceived everyone!

Seeing the grievance, sadness and disappointment on her sister's face, Cao Heying only felt that the veins on her forehead were throbbing all the time, and she no longer had the strength to comfort her.He'er's stubbornness and stupidity are more serious than she imagined, and now she understands what her mother felt when she said those words before.

Why didn't she think about it, they were all her relatives, could they harm her?Didn't they do it for her own good?Why didn't she understand that this matter was not just an ordinary matter, no matter what the truth was, it was beyond their control.

He'er was really bewitched, she thought she was being possessed by something, she never thought He'er was so difficult to discipline before!Why are you becoming more and more disobedient now?
Thinking of the cold and ruthless little prince Juelin just now, as if he was looking at a dead person, Cao Heying felt his head hurt.

Cao's carriage returned to Cao's mansion all the way, and Master Cao also came back at this time. Seeing the slap marks on the face of the little daughter, a bad premonition flashed in his heart. Although Cao Heying knew that if he told the matter, his sister would What happened, but she couldn't pamper her sister anymore, so she told all the things that happened in front of the palace, and also relayed what the little prince Juelin said verbatim.

Mr. Cao was so angry that the beard on his face jumped, and he pointed at his little daughter who was speechless for a long time. It seemed that he was so angry that he finally choked out a sentence and asked his servants to take her back to her own yard to see. Get up, don't let her step out of her room!Whoever let her out again will sell them all!
Mrs. Cao couldn't help but sighed about the wicked girl, which made Cao Heying feel very uncomfortable.

Cao Heying returned to the room by herself after not staying for long, and Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Cao went to the study to discuss countermeasures.

Mu Jinxi soon found out about this. At night, Jue Lin sneaked into her room again. When he came over, she was washing and wiping her hair. She always likes to do this kind of thing by herself. The servant girl came to help and was wiping her long hair when someone snatched the hair towel from her hand, and then someone gently wiped it behind her with a long hair towel.

You don't even need to look at her to know who it is.

"Why are you here at this hour?" Mu Jinxi asked, closing her eyes slightly.

Standing behind her, Jue Lin gently moved his hands. Seeing her enjoyment with her eyes closed, she couldn't help showing a gentle smile. After hearing her question for a long time, she asked, "Is someone coming to the palace today?" They came to find me outside and said they found out our secret, what do you think of this matter?"

After hearing what he said, Mu Jinxi didn't react at all, and said lazily: "What can I think, shouldn't this kind of matter be handled by you? And you have said it all, people are looking for you, not Me. Knowing my secret, I didn’t come to look for me. Instead, I went to you, hehehe, what Sima Zhao’s heart is!”

After all, it wasn't all the rotten peach blossoms he provoked!Mu Jinxi was upset just thinking about it, she opened her eyes abruptly, pulled off the hair scarf, and gave Jue Lin an annoyed look.

Jue Lin looked at her innocently, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's none of my business!"

Mu Jinxi sneered: "It's none of your business? Hehe, I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for you being cheated by a bad woman like me. I want to help you get ahead! You are really capable! It's just that you are in Taohua Town I met once in the past, and I have been thinking about it until now, the charm of the little prince Juelin is so great that I am not as good as a little girl!"

Jue Lin touched his nose and felt that he was wronged.

He didn't remember the pair of sisters he met during the Lantern Festival in Peach Blossom Town at all. If it wasn't for what happened today, he would have forgotten that he had met such a pair of sisters before, and he would never remember it in the future.And at that time he clearly expressed his opinion, okay?This is entirely the woman's own problem. It is her own bad style. So many men don't look at her, but insist on her.Just like what Jin'er said, he is a man of his own.

It's none of his business, does he still want to disfigure these inexplicable women?His looks are all given by his parents, and he is destined by nature, so he can't change it!
"Jin'er, I'm also very innocent. I don't know that woman at all, and I don't understand why she ran outside the palace to block me. I don't know if she has a brain." Jue Lin said unhappily .

"She has a brain, it's just that she doesn't have a brain when facing you." Mu Jinxi gave him a sidelong glance.

Jue Lin choked, then said with a smile, "Jin'er, are you jealous?"

Mu Jinxi's complexion froze slightly, and she said with a blunt smile: "Yes, my lord, the little girl is jealous. You said that if it weren't for you, would this matter happen today? Let me tell you, you will be fine with this matter." If we can't deal with it properly, our marriage will not be possible!"

Jue Lin's complexion changed, and he hurriedly sat next to Mu Jinxi, holding her hand and said solemnly: "Jin'er, don't talk nonsense! The wedding date has finally been set and the dowry has been given, so how can you say that you won't get married?" Talk? Don't worry, I won't let her talk nonsense, if she thinks her life is too long, I will help her!"

Mu Jinxi was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "You don't mean to kill him, do you?"

Jue Lin said indifferently: "If you kill her, you will kill her. It's just a woman, so she won't cause any trouble if she kills her."

Mu Jinxi blinked, and asked as if asking for proof: "Are you serious? Are you really going to kill her?"

"If she doesn't know good and bad, I don't think it's a big deal to kill her. Only dead people don't open their mouths." Jue Lin said lightly.

"Here, don't mess around. She is the youngest daughter of Master Yin Cao of the Jingzhao Mansion. She is not a person without father, mother, or status. If you kill her, how will this matter be settled?" Mu Jinxi rolled her eyes.

Although she also felt that Cao Hexiang was quite annoying, she was not guilty of death. After all, she was a living human being. She was only in her teens, and her life was still long. How could she just kill her?The thinking of the ancient people, sometimes it really doesn’t work, and it’s like cutting a human life like a straw.

Jue Lin frowned: "Is it the daughter of the governor of Jingzhao?"

"That's right, isn't the surname of Jingzhao Mansion Yin Cao? The young lady is called Cao Hexiang, she is the younger sister, and the older sister is called Cao Heying, who are twin sisters under Mr. Cao's knees. If you kill someone, how will you explain to his parents? Yes, not only Cao Hexiang knows about this matter, Cao Heying and Mrs. Cao and his wife also know about it, don’t tell me you want to kill them too? Mrs. Cao and Cao Heying came to the Xiao Mansion today and told me about it, and they promised to watch it The one who lives in Cao Hexiang just let her sneak out of the house in a blink of an eye for some reason, so I guessed that she was looking for you."

As she spoke, Mu Jinxi squinted at Jue Lin with a half-smile, the teasing look in her eyes was naked, making Jue Lin a little bit dumbfounded.

She was fierce just now, but now she is in the mood to tease him again. I really don't know whether it is better to say that she is forgetful or that she has a good heart.

"Do you believe what they say?" Jue Lin asked.

Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and asked back: "Why don't you believe it? Although Mr. Cao has only been in the capital for more than a year, but you are both officials in the court, you know more or less about him, right? It's still you Do you think Mr. Cao is a stupid person?"

Jue Lin also raised her eyebrows and looked back at her, as if asking why she said that.

"Lord Cao should be able to guess the truth of this matter, and he should also be able to guess the twists and turns in the middle. Doesn't it mean that the emperor can marry me to you? Could it be that the emperor is a... Unclear, a woman of unknown origin gave you a marriage? Now that the emperor has given you a marriage, it means that the emperor has known the truth for a long time. The emperor doesn’t care about things, do you think Mr. Cao has the courage to do so?”

"Perhaps he really doesn't know, maybe he doesn't know." Jue Lin said expressionlessly.

Mu Jinxi looked at him speechlessly and said: "If this is the case, they would not choose to come to the Xiao Mansion to tell me secretly, but should directly threaten me or you with this matter, even as Cao Hexiang hoped, Mr. Cao Use this matter as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with you."

"What conditions"

Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and said, "The condition, of course, is to negotiate to let Second Miss Cao, who never forgets you, enter the palace as a side concubine!"

What?Entering the palace to be a side concubine?Jue Lin looked as if he had stepped on some kind of animal feces, and his brows were tightly wrinkled in disgust.

"Because she also wants to enter the palace as a side concubine? Fantastic!" Where is his palace, and all cats and dogs can enter?I don't even look at what I am, if Cao Bingkun dares to have the courage, he doesn't mind spending some effort to pull him down from the position of Jingzhao Fu Yin and let him go back to his original place!

"Yo, Cao Hexiang is the daughter of the majestic Jingzhao Mansion after all, and his status is much more noble than mine. If I hadn't been lucky enough to have an uncle who was the prime minister, I would be nothing but a It’s just a peasant girl. She is not qualified to be a side concubine in the palace, so am I even more unqualified? And I want to be a concubine!” Mu Jinxi didn’t know if she was angry when she said this, Jue Lin would I don't understand her at all.

But he still said very cleverly: "How can she compare with you? Although you are a little worse than her in origin, you are the woman I like, and this is more important than anything else!"

Mu Jinxi gave him a sideways look, and didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

Of course she was not happy about Cao Hexiang pestering Jue Lin so much. Any woman would be upset when she saw another woman pestering her man, right?Especially when Cao Hexiang took her secret and ran past her to sue Jue Lin, she was so happy that it was a ghost.But, she won't blame Jue Lin for this matter, who made him so handsome and handsome by nature?

Didn't I have a good impression of him because of his skin?After all, people are visual animals!
"What are you going to do about this matter?" Jue Lin asked, "You don't really intend to let things develop on their own, do you? But what if something unexpected happens?"

Mu Jinxi's face was calm, she didn't answer Jue Lin's words immediately, she wiped her hair with her hand for a while, and said after a while, "Jue Lin, how long do you think this matter can be kept secret?"

Jue Lin was startled, then frowned: "You mean, you want to use this opportunity to announce the matter?"

"This is a good way, isn't it? It's better than being exposed when we are unprepared in the future, or we announce it ourselves, no matter what the situation is, it is not good for us, but if we borrow someone else this time It is not impossible for us to grasp the direction of public opinion and solve the matter properly."

"Are you sure?" Jue Lin frowned.

Mu Jinxi shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's okay."

The corner of Jue Lin's mouth twitched, what does it mean?Can she pay more attention? This is not a small matter. It is a major matter related to her and Xiaobao's reputation. If this matter is not resolved, it will have a great impact on their future. It will be difficult to gain a foothold.

"Isn't there still you here? How long are you going to wait if you don't behave well at this time?" Mu Jinxi looked at him inexplicably.

"...Okay, what do you say you are going to do?"

Mu Jinxi hooked her finger towards Jue Lin, Jue Lin's eyes flashed, and she moved closer.

Mu Jinxi whispered a few words in his ear, Jue Lin couldn't help raising her eyebrows, she couldn't understand why she chose such a method.

"What? You don't think this is good?" Mu Jinxi raised her chin and asked.

"No, I think it's fine, whatever you say is fine."

"It's more or less the same." Mu Jinxi snorted softly, and was about to stand up and change a towel for twisting her hair, her hair was not dry yet!
But Jue Lin grabbed her hand, which caught her off guard, and she fell back, just in time to fall into Jue Lin's waiting embrace.

"What are you doing?" Mu Jinxi stared and pushed Juelin.

Jue Lin looked at her innocently and said, "Didn't you just seduce me?"

seduce? !
Mu Jinxi almost didn't bring it up in one breath, and growled, "Who seduced you?"

"You have already seduced me. If you can't seduce me, I will run away irresponsibly." Jue Lin said solemnly.

"You are talking nonsense, who seduced you? What evidence do you have?"

"Evidence? Isn't it evidence that I'm sitting here? I was obviously sitting on the other side just now. If you hadn't seduced me, how could I have sat here?" Jue Lin said with raised eyebrows.

Mu Jinxi opened her mouth slightly in surprise when she heard Jue Lin's rascally words, and looked at the pious man in front of her in disbelief, and was about to open her mouth to sneer, when she saw a flawless handsome face pressing towards her , blocking her exclamation.

rogue!
