Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 128 The Calm Before the Banquet

Xiao Lin on the carriage listened to what Xiao Yuan said, and clenched his hands unconsciously. His face, which looked murderous at first, became even more cold under the anger released by Xiao Lin.

Even Xiao Yuan couldn't confirm whether Xiao Lin was angry with Yun Heng or those young ladies who were bewitching everyone with lies.Xiao Yuan just wisely chose to jump off the carriage and trot towards Jing Ning.

The people at the other end had woken up from Yun Heng's sudden words. Yang Qin looked at Yun Heng who was standing not far from him and said softly, "Yun...Brother Yunheng..."

Yun Heng nodded with neither familiarity nor unfamiliarity, as if acquiescing to Yang Qin's address, but also as if rejecting Yang Qin's advances.

Just staring at Zheng Jingning with great interest, Yang Qin was already scratched by Yun Heng's response, Zheng Jingning looked at Yang Qin's appearance, and realized who Yang Qin's sweetheart was referring to, calmly Take a step back.

"Sister-in-law!" Xiao Yuan yelled before she arrived, and the young ladies at the side heard this, and murmured together again, Zheng Jingning helplessly covered her face and looked back.

Xiao Yuan trotted all the way to Zheng Jingning, and didn't care about the sight of those looking over, she still went her own way.Although Xiao Yuan's temper caused Zheng Jingning a lot of gossip, Zheng Jingning didn't dislike Xiao Yuan's temper, on the contrary he admired it.

"How many times have I said, even if you can't get rid of the habit of calling me sister-in-law, don't call me sister-in-law in front of so many people. What do others think when you call me like that?"

After hearing Jing Ning's words, Xiao Yuan patted herself on the head as if she had just reacted, "Yes, I forgot, but it's okay, so that others will know that you are my daughter-in-law of the Xiao family."

Seeing Xiao Yuan like this, Jing Ning couldn't get angry, so she had no choice but to introduce Lan Yao to Xiao Yuan, "This is Lan Yao, the eldest lady of Fuguo Gongfu, you can call Yaoyao, this is..."

Before Jing Ning finished speaking, Xiao Yuan took the lead, "My name is Xiao Yuan, you can call me A Yuan, don't worry about those crooked things, I like delicious food and beautiful men, I hate it the most." Those etiquettes, we will play together when we have time later."

At first, Lan Yao thought that Xiao Yuan would be like those ladies, but now seeing Xiao Yuan's appearance, she really accepted Xiao Yuan in her heart.

Seeing Jing Ning and the other three ignoring everyone as if no one was there, Yang Qin stood up and said, "Everyone, thank you for coming to my birthday party, let's go in first and talk about it later."

After hearing Yang Qin's words, Jing Ning planned to go in first, Xiao Yuan took Jing Ning's hand, and signaled Jing Ning with her eyes, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my brother is still in the car, let's wait for my brother."

Xiao Yuan's voice was not loud but not soft, but with Xiao Lin's hearing, she could hear it clearly, Xiao Lin moved unnaturally, and got off the carriage.

Maybe it's because Xiao Lin was born in a family of generals. He has been honed in the battlefield for many years. He has seen wind and frost, and he has killed people. Like the murderous look in the eyes of the twelfth lunar month, those ladies panicked from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Lin walked up to Jingning, glanced at it seemingly casually, and handed the things in his hands to Yang Qin who was beside him, "Li."

For Yang Qin, Xiao Lin is a very scary person, if it is not for having a proper reason to invite Yun Heng, Yang Qin would not invite Xiao Lin.

After receiving the gift from Xiao Lin, Yang Qin invited everyone to the house again, Yun Heng's servant also came from the carriage and handed the gift to Yun Heng, Yun Heng gave the gift to Yang Qin, and left go in.

And when everyone walked into the house seemingly harmoniously, and sat down to chat at the prepared table, Zheng Xiuning sneaked away from the side and came to the back garden of Yang Qin's house.

Looking at the pool in front of him, Zheng Xiuning smashed the water surface with a small stone, venting his inner anger, one of his feet accidentally slipped, and he was about to fall into the pool, his hands supported Zheng Xiuning in time.

Subconsciously looking up, she saw a pair of eyes, the light in those bright eyes was like the twinkling starlight when the moonlight shines on the lake, illuminating Zheng Xiuning's sky.

Zheng Xiuning hurriedly stood up, the pool water under the sun was sparkling, so beautiful, just like the person in front of him, Zheng Xiuning said, "Thank you for saving me, sir, I don't know the name of you yet, my little girl It’s a good way to repay.”

Hearing Zheng Xiuning's words, the young master who just rescued someone said, "My name is Huan Fengting, there is no need to repay it, after all, it's just a matter of little effort, but in the future, the young lady should not come to the water alone." It’s over, after all, if you’re not safe, you’ll get hurt.”

Hearing Feng Ting's words, Zheng Xiuning's heart was startled. After Yang's departure, this was the first time Zheng Xiuning felt such pure concern. The stone he just threw jumped lightly on the water. And passed, across the clear and shallow ripples, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.

Due to the influence of Jingning's rebirth at this moment, Feng Ting and Zheng Xiuning, who should have met earlier, met again in another way. At this time, Zheng Xiuning fell into the catastrophe of the previous life.

"I don't know if this lady knows where the front hall is?"

"Ah? Go ahead and turn left, and then..."

After the wind pavilion was far away, Zheng Xiuning recovered, and muttered in a low voice, "What kind of pool is this? Why is there no railing? It almost made me fall into the water."

As he said that, Zheng Xiuning seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and walked towards the way he came.

On the other side, Jing Ning and the others were sitting and chatting together. Lan Yao and Xiao Yuan had already sneaked out because they couldn't bear the atmosphere here, and left Jing Ning to Xiao Lin's care.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Yuan and Lan Yao had similar temperaments, the two soon got together, greeted Jing Ning, and then went to find an open space to compete in martial arts.

At this time, only Jing Ning and Xiao Lin were left on the table that originally belonged to the four of Jing Ning. Taking the appearance of a pastry, he stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth.

Jing Ning looked at the tea that suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and couldn't help laughing at Xiao Lin's behavior, especially when she saw that Xiao Lin was holding an osmanthus cake.

In her memory, when Xiao Yuan came to the prime minister's mansion to eat osmanthus cake, she said that her elder brother Xiao Lin hated the taste of osmanthus cake the most and would not even touch it.

Now watching Xiao Lin eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake, frowning slightly, the expression on his face slightly distorted, Jing Ning chuckled immorally, Xiao Lin looked at Jing Ning puzzledly, as if he understood Xiao Lin's eyes. Jing Ning took a sip of the tea pushed over by Xiao Lin before speaking.

"I once heard Xiao Yuan say that you never touch sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, but now seeing you eating sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, I find it funny and laugh."

Listening to Jing Ning's explanation, Xiao Lin swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his mouth, his expression changed subconsciously, he picked up the tea in front of him and drank it, came over for a while, and then said softly "um".

Looking at Xiao Lin's performance in front of him, Jing Ning recalled how she was afraid of Xiao Lin in her previous life. At that time, Jing Ning was so afraid that Xiao Lin would cut herself down with a knife, so she resisted Xiao Lin like that.

Now, after real contact, Jing Ning's impression of Xiao Lin is slowly changing, it seems that getting along with Xiao Lin is not as difficult as imagined.
