Chapter 34: Passers-by in the Ancient World 8

For the following period of time, Ke Xiaoxia's life was very regular.

Practice sword in the morning, embroider in the afternoon, and sleep with me at night.

Jiang Sheng's life is also very regular, he goes out early and comes back late every day.

Every morning when he opened his eyes, he couldn't see anyone, and he didn't come back until bedtime at night. When he came back, he glared at Lin Jing fiercely for a while, and finally closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The opposite is Lin Jing.

Lin Jing would occasionally go out to do some work. When he was out, Ke Xiaoxia and Lu Ying would be in the yard, doing what they were supposed to do.

As the prime minister, Jiang Mingzhi naturally couldn't be so idle.

In addition, Lin Jing is his daughter-in-law on the surface, so he can't just go to the yard where his daughter-in-law is every day, so he naturally doesn't have many opportunities to meet Ke Xiaoxia.

Ke Xiaoxia felt that such a peaceful life was pretty good, and it would be even better if she could maintain it forever.

But you know it's impossible.

Time flies.

Ke Xiaoxia was considered an adult in ancient times.

Jiang Sheng is finally not missing every day.

Lin Jing was not there this time. Ke Xiaoxia was practicing sword by herself, and Jiang Sheng was watching from the side.

After Ke Xiaoxia finished practicing sword, Jiang Sheng came over.

He raised his hand and touched Ke Xiaoxia's calf. Ke Xiaoxia was startled and almost kicked him.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Ke Xiaoxia wanted to dodge but was stopped by Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng's hands are big, his palms are warm, and he is very strong.

He held Ke Xiaoxia's ankle and said seriously, "Massage."

As she said this, her ears couldn't help but turn red.

Ke Xiaoxia was speechless, knowing that it was useless to stop him, so she didn't stop him.

Instead, he asked curiously, "Master, what have you been busy with these days? It seems like I don't see anyone all day."

This ordinary question touched Jiang Sheng's nerve. He looked up at Ke Xiaoxia with red eyes, which scared Ke Xiaoxia.

Before Ke Xiaoxia could say anything, Jiang Sheng said seriously, "Xiaoxia, don't worry, I will definitely get you back."

Ke Xiaoxia: “…”

Jiang Sheng said to himself: "I just didn't work hard before, it doesn't mean I'm useless. Lin Jing is so arrogant just because she knows a little martial arts. Do you really think I'm afraid of her?"

"Xiao Xia, if you want to learn sword, I can teach you. I'm sure I can teach you better than her..."

Ke Xiaoxia listened quietly.

At this time, Lin Jing came back.

He immediately saw Ke Xiaoxia and Jiang Sheng sitting on the stools.

The intimate posture of the two people was annoying to him.

His face darkened and he asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

The sudden sound was really scary.

Ke Xiaoxia's heartbeat became irregular, and she felt inexplicably guilty.

She wanted to pull her legs back, but Jiang Sheng held them tightly and even looked at Lin Jing provocatively: "It's just as you saw."

"Young Madam..."

"Xiao Xia, you don't have to be afraid of her. It's time for her to see her identity clearly. I still have the final say in Shaoguangyuan!"

"I just didn't bother to argue with her before, so I tolerated her. This doesn't mean that I'm really afraid of her."

Jiang Sheng spoke in a very loud voice, and it was unclear whether he was trying to give himself courage.

Hearing this, Lin Jing couldn't help but laugh contemptuously.

He no longer paid attention to Jiang Sheng and only said to Ke Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, come here."

Ke Xiaoxia glanced at Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng comforted her, "Don't be afraid of her. I will definitely protect you. Xiao Xia, just sit back and watch me perform."

After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, he let go of Ke Xiaoxia's calf, stood up, and started fighting with Lin Jing.

When Jiang Sheng fought before, it was obvious that his skills were just mediocre, but now he acts like a decent fighter.

Ke Xiaoxia watched the two people fighting seriously.

Jiang Sheng's progress is obvious. At least he can dodge Lin Jing's punches and occasionally fight back once or twice.

This also explains why Jiang Sheng goes out early and comes back late.

However, progress made in a short period of time cannot be compared with years of martial arts training.

Even in terms of talent, Lin Jing is not bad, not to mention that he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child.

It is almost impossible for Jiang Sheng to defeat Lin Jing in a short time.

Lin Jing didn't put in much effort at the beginning, but instead tried to test Jiang Sheng's ability.

After testing the situation, Lin Jing lost his patience.

He sneered and didn't even bother to dodge Jiang Sheng's fist. He directly caught Jiang Sheng's fist, then took advantage of the situation and twisted Jiang Sheng's arm, forcing him to half kneel on the ground.

Lin Jing's hand was very painful, and as a bystander, Ke Xiaoxia felt the pain just watching it.

If it were in the past, Jiang Sheng would have cried out in pain.

But this time, Jiang Sheng clenched his teeth and said nothing. Sweat wet his temples, and he gritted his teeth and refused to let out a cry of pain.

Lin Jing sneered: "With your little weight, you dare to say that you want to protect Xiao Xia?"

"One day, I will definitely defeat you and take Xiao Xia back."

Because it was so painful, Jiang Sheng almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Lin Jing said disdainfully: "With you, it's impossible in this lifetime."

He relaxed and Jiang Sheng fell directly to the ground.

One arm drooped, evidently dislocated.

Jiang Sheng tried hard to get up from the ground. He smiled at Ke Xiaoxia and said, "Xiaoxia, don't worry, I will continue to work hard."

After saying this, Jiang Sheng left Shaoguangyuan.

Ke Xiaoxia couldn't help but purse her lips when looking at Jiang Sheng like this, feeling very complicated.

Lin Jing stepped forward and asked calmly, "Are you heartbroken?"

Ke Xiaoxia pursed her lips and said nothing.

Lin Jing directly picked up Ke Xiaoxia and held her sideways. Ke Xiaoxia hugged Lin Jing's neck and exclaimed: "Young Madam..."

"You know whether I am a young lady or not. Instead of feeling sorry for him, you should feel sorry for yourself."

These days, Ke Xiaoxia has been pretending to be innocent. Lin Jing sees it and finds it funny, but just lets her go.

But what happened today still made Lin Jing feel very unhappy.

Lin Jing was not a good-tempered person. Jiang Sheng had acted like a coward before, so Lin Jing naturally didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Jiang Sheng is not much better now, but those actions touched Ke Xiaoxia.

When Lin Jing thought that Ke Xiaoxia would feel sorry for Jiang Sheng, he couldn't help but want to beat Jiang Sheng half to death.

He felt that he needed to make Ke Xiaoxia understand his identity correctly.

There are some things that you can't avoid just by wanting to.

Lin Jing brought Ke Xiaoxia into the bathtub, and then slowly began to undress.

Ke Xiaoxia felt her scalp tingling: "Madam, calm down. There is nothing between the young master and me."

"Of course I know you have nothing, otherwise today wouldn't be just like this."

The voice was neither hurried nor slow, and was eerily gentle.

Ke Xiaoxia wanted to escape.

Lin Jing seemed to see through her intention and reminded her gently: "Xiao Xia, if you behave yourself, we can just take a bath together."

"If you're not honest..."

Lin Jing seemed to have thought of that scene and smiled with some pleasure: "I am looking forward to it."

Ke Xiaoxia: “…”
