Chapter 35: Passers-by in the Ancient World 9

Ke Xiaoxia was forced to be honest.

But even if it's just a bath, you have to be honest with each other.

Ke Xiaoxia turned around silently, not wanting to see some scenes that she shouldn't see. Lin Jing's laughter came from behind her, and Ke Xiaoxia couldn't help rolling her eyes.

After Lin Jing entered the water, he walked towards Ke Xiaoxia.

"You don't need to wear clothes to take a bath. Let me help you take them off."

Ke Xiaoxia quickly refused: "No, I'll do it myself."

Lin Jing withdrew his hand and watched from the side.

Ke Xiaoxia could only distance herself from Lin Jing and take off her wet clothes.

The bathtub was filled with mist and being underwater, it was hard to see anything clearly.

This is also the reason why Ke Xiaoxia is willing to take off her clothes.

Ke Xiaoxia didn't want to recall the following scene.

They took a bath together, so how could it be just a simple bath?

Although there was nothing too extreme, it was impossible to continue pretending that I knew nothing.

At night, I still need someone to sleep with me.

At this time, Ke Xiaoxia felt that Jiang Sheng was a good person.

There weren't so many things to do when I was his maid.

Unfortunately, although Jiang Sheng is the master, his status is only slightly higher than hers, and he is always bullied. Jiang Sheng is now treated worse than her.

Ke Xiaoxia couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy towards Jiang Sheng, as if they were in the same boat.

The next day, Lin Jing had to go out again.

Jiang Sheng disappeared again and went back to his daily routine of leaving home early and returning late.

Jiang Mingzhi appeared instead.

Jiang Mingzhi naturally would not go to Shaoguangyuan. He directly asked someone to call Ke Xiaoxia to Wenxin Pavilion.

Although Ke Xiaoxia knew that there would be a man who would fall in love with her for no reason.

But she really had no guard against Jiang Mingzhi, a man who was already married with children and could be considered an older man.

Even though Jiang Mingzhi is handsome and elegant, with an excellent demeanor.

Ke Xiaoxia felt that Jiang Mingzhi called her over most likely because he knew that she and Lin Jing had bathed together yesterday.

It shouldn't be that he killed her to silence her, right?

It would be possible to warn her.

Ke Xiaoxia went to Wenxin Pavilion with a nervous heart.

When they arrived at Wenxin Pavilion, Ke Xiaoxia didn't dare to look up at Jiang Mingzhi, so naturally she didn't know the look Jiang Mingzhi was giving her.

Jiang Mingzhi looked at Ke Xiaoxia for a while, then said directly: "From today on, you will serve me."

This was really beyond Ke Xiaoxia's expectations.

Without waiting for Ke Xiaoxia to say anything, he continued, "You don't have to pack your things at Shaoguangyuan. I will get them for you. You just need to stay here with peace of mind."

This is indeed not true.

Ke Xiaoxia glanced at Jiang Mingzhi secretly.

His eyelashes were drooping, his expression was gentle, and he was holding a white jade cup in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Ke Xiaoxia asked tentatively: "What about the young master and the young mistress?"

"Don't pay attention to them, just stay here."

After experiencing the confrontation between Lin Jing and Jiang Mingzhi last time, Ke Xiaoxia thought that she had guessed some of the plot correctly and understood the relationship between Lin Jing and Jiang Mingzhi.

Why does it seem so confusing now?

Ke Xiaoxia responded and stopped talking.

Lin Jing must have come back very late today, as he didn't find Jiang Mingzhi until it was dark.

Ke Xiaoxia is now in the room prepared by Jiang Mingzhi.

Lin Jing's face was gloomy, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable anger: "Where's Xiao Xia? Give her to me."

This time, Jiang Mingzhi's words were also a little strong.

"Lin Jing, recognize your current identity."

"In the beginning, I agreed to keep her with you because she didn't know anything. Now that she knows, it's not appropriate for her to stay."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of her. She won't be hurt in the slightest."

"You've been too aggressive recently and someone has been targeting you."

All the words Jiang Ming said before were nonsense to Lin Jing.

It was the last sentence that brought about some changes in him.

He was silent for a moment and then said, "I will be careful and protect Xiao Xia and return her to me."

Jiang Mingzhi still refused: "No, she must stay with me these days."

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with what Jiang Mingzhi said.

But Lin Jing still felt that there was something wrong, perhaps it was just an intuition.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and asked with a bit of scrutiny: "Prime Minister, do you really have no selfish motives?"

Jiang Mingzhi remained calm: "What selfish motives could I have to allow you to return to men's clothing and have a legitimate identity? Or is it because Jiang Sheng likes her and you're afraid that I'm partial to him, so you want to give her to him?"

"You can rest assured about these. Others may not know Jiang Sheng's identity, but how can you not know it?"

"The reason why I did this, in the final analysis, was only for you, Your Highness."

These words did not dispel Lin Jing's doubts.

But Jiang Mingzhi had already said so much, it was not appropriate for Lin Jing to continue to be aggressive.

He lowered his eyes and said, "I know Jiang Sheng's identity, so I naturally won't doubt your dedication to me, Prime Minister."

"It's just Xiao Xia..."

Lin Jing took a step back, and Jiang Mingzhi also took a step back: "After this period of time, I will let her go back."

In the end, Lin Jing didn't take Ke Xiaoxia back.

After Lin Jing turned and left, Jiang Mingzhi raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his lips.

He glanced at the window and then left as if he knew nothing.

Jiang Sheng, who had heard everything outside, covered his mouth tightly, afraid of making any sound.

Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief only after he was sure that Jiang Mingzhi had left.

Then came all sorts of emotions.

Shocked, unbelievable, and at the same time somewhat enlightened.

Jiang Sheng didn't expect this. He just knew that Xiao Xia was called away by his father, so he came to look for someone, but he saw Lin Jing enter the study.

There was no one around the study.

It was so strange that Jiang Sheng couldn't help but go forward to eavesdrop, and ended up hearing something he shouldn't have heard.

No wonder, no wonder...

Jiang Sheng's eyes turned red.

No wonder he had to marry Lin Jing.

No wonder Jiang Mingzhi didn't care about him at all.

No wonder Lin Jing wanted to snatch Xiao Xia from him...

Whenever Jiang Sheng thought of Lin Jing, a man who actually deceived Xiao Xia and took advantage of the fact that he was a woman to sleep in the same bed with Xiao Xia, he couldn't help but want to kill Lin Jing.

And he was so stupid that he never doubted it at all.

Jiang Sheng adjusted his mood, some plans flashed through his mind, and then he left.

It's better for Xiao Xia to stay with Jiang Mingzhi now. Although Jiang Mingzhi definitely has bad intentions, he shouldn't go too far in a day or two.

He will definitely take Xiao Xia out of this sea of ​​suffering.
