Chapter 36: Passers-by in the Ancient World 10

Ke Xiaoxia didn't feel like she was in a sea of ​​fire.

It's more comfortable here with Jiang Mingzhi than with Lin Jing.

Jiang Mingzhi didn't need her to sleep with him. He said she was there to serve him, but just like when she first met Jiang Sheng, she didn't have to do anything.

Jiang Mingzhi even found a nanny who was good at embroidery to teach Ke Xiaoxia how to embroider.

The only thing you need to do is probably to have dinner with Jiang Mingzhi?

During the meal, Jiang Mingzhi would ask Ke Xiaoxia some questions like an elder.

What: How is your embroidery learning going? Do you get bored?

Ke Xiaoxia found it very strange.

What does Jiang Mingzhi mean?

Are you interested in her?

Or do you treat her as your daughter-in-law?

Ke Xiaoxia answered Jiang Mingzhi's questions honestly and expressed his gratitude for it.

Jiang Mingzhi smiled and told her not to be polite.

Then he asked, "Xiao Xia, do you like Lin Jing more, or Jiang Sheng more?"

Ke Xiaoxia: "Why do you say that, sir?"

"Don't be embarrassed, just tell me directly. Lin Jing's identity will not be a secret in the future. It's just that it's inconvenient for others to know it now."

"I keep you here for your safety. There are no outsiders here now. Xiao Xia can tell me what he thinks. I treat them all equally."

Jiang Mingzhi's tone was gentle and mellow, and his words were soothing, while also showing his mentality as an elder.

If Ke Xiaoxia was really a naive girl, she would definitely be deceived by Jiang Mingzhi.

Ke Xiaoxia hardly believed what Jiang Mingzhi said.

Treat everyone equally?

Look at Lin Jing, he beats Jiang Sheng whenever he wants, where is the equal treatment?

Although he was complaining in his heart, Ke Xiaoxia looked serious on the surface.

There was still some uneasiness in her expression because she knew the identity of Lin Jing.

At the same time, she felt a little shy, after all, she had slept in the same bed with Lin Jing for so long.

When he replied, he was not too biased: "They are both good, but I..."

Thinking about what happened in the bathtub before, Ke Xiaoxia actually blushed.

A dark light flashed in Jiang Mingzhi's eyes.

On the surface, he looked gentle and understood: "I understand. It seems that Xiao Xia still likes Lin Jing more."

"Lin Jing is a good kid, cold on the outside but warm on the inside..."

Jiang Mingzhi praised him a few times, a trace of difficulty flashed across his face, and then he sighed: "It's just that he has a special identity. If Xiaoxia likes him, she will inevitably be unable to control herself in the future."

"I'm afraid there will be more and more women in his backyard in the future, Xiao Xia should think it over carefully."

"But you don't have to worry too much. After all, Lin Jing is a good kid. You two have a relationship like this, so he will always protect you."

Ke Xiaoxia suddenly lost her appetite.

She bit her lip, her face showing sadness and confusion.

Jiang Mingzhi said considerately: "It's getting late, go back and rest."

After Ke Xiaoxia left, Jiang Mingzhi drank a glass of wine with satisfaction.

Ke Xiaoxia couldn't understand what Jiang Mingzhi meant.

I just know that he probably has no good intentions.

He even took the initiative to reveal Lin Jing's identity to her.

The same can be said about Lin Jing's words, which are both explicit praise and implicit criticism.

Not to mention the inexplicable love, what kind of relationship could there be between her and Lin Jing?

To be honest, when it comes to her relationship with Lin Jing, she is not as good as Luying.

Ke Xiaoxia couldn’t figure out what Jiang Mingzhi was thinking for the time being, so she stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, she is very well-behaved now and won't go out unless she can.

The ancient times were terrifying.

People in high positions are also scary.

It's all convoluted and it's not worth it to cheat people to death.

She is just a little maid.

Ke Xiaoxia stayed obediently in Jiang Mingzhi's yard and learned embroidery from the nanny.

After staying for a few days, Jiang Sheng came.

Jiang Sheng arrived at a very coincidental time.

Jiang Mingzhi is not here tonight, and the nanny who taught her embroidery has also left.

Ke Xiaoxia was a little curious: "Master, why are you here?"

Jiang Sheng pulled Ke Xiaoxia and said quickly, "There's no time to talk any more. Xiaoxia, change your clothes and follow me."

He stuffed a set of men's clothes on Ke Xiaoxia and asked her to change.

"Master, has something big happened?"

"Well, hurry up and change your clothes. Let's go. I'll explain to you when we're safe."

Ke Xiaoxia didn't doubt that Jiang Sheng would harm her.

In addition, Jiang Sheng acted in a very urgent manner, as if he would die if he was late, so Ke Xiaoxia was really frightened.

She went inside to change her clothes, and Jiang Sheng waited outside.

After changing clothes and combing his hair into a men's bun, Jiang Sheng took Ke Xiaoxia out.

The further we walked, the more it deviated. It was obvious that we had to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion from some other place.

Ke Xiaoxia originally thought it was some remote door, but it turned out to be a dog hole.

Ke Xiaoxia was a little shocked.

Could it be that the affair between Jiang Mingzhi and Lin Jing has been exposed, and the emperor is going to confiscate their property and silence them?

Ke Xiaoxia didn't want to die at the age of 15.

Originally she had a lot of questions and was basically dragged along by Jiang Sheng.

Now, when Ke Xiaoxia thought that the Prime Minister’s Mansion might be arrested, she was afraid, even though Lin Jing was most likely the male protagonist and would not die and would be out of danger.

The one who won't die is Lin Jing, not just her.

It’s better to quickly follow Jiang Sheng.

It is very dangerous under the emperor's feet. If you are not careful, you will be confiscated and your property will be confiscated and your witnesses will be killed.

When we left the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a carriage waiting outside.

The two got on the carriage and headed out of the city.

In the carriage, Ke Xiaoxia was very nervous: "Will we be too conspicuous if we leave the city directly like this?"

Jiang Sheng held Ke Xiaoxia's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything. Nothing will happen."

Ke Xiaoxia was not comforted at all. She felt that Jiang Sheng was not a very reliable person.

If it were Lin Jing and Jiang Mingzhi, she would still be more convinced.

But there is really no other way now.

Maybe this was also arranged by Lin Jing and Jiang Mingzhi?

Ke Xiaoxia was lost in thought, and out of consideration for the person driving the car, she did not dare to ask Jiang Sheng what was going on.

The carriage left the city smoothly.

Ke Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Sheng drove the driver away and then drove himself.

Probably because she felt that it was much safer out of the city and there was no one else around, Ke Xiaoxia asked Jiang Sheng what was going on.

"Master, is there something wrong with the Jiang Mansion?"

Jiang Sheng was driving the car. Ke Xiaoxia couldn't see the expression on his face, but could only hear his voice.

His voice was no longer as clear and bright as before, but rather suppressed and hoarse.

"Xiao Xia, you may not know that Jiang Mingzhi is not my biological father. Even I only found out about this not long ago."

Ke Xiaoxia was silent, with a feeling of expectation in her heart.

Before she could think of how to comfort Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng spoke again.

He said: "Lin Jing, whom Jiang Mingzhi asked me to marry, is not a woman. He is a man, a man dressed as a woman."

"I don't know what Jiang Mingzhi was planning with him. I only heard Jiang Mingzhi call Lin Jing His Highness. No matter what they were planning, if they were discovered, they would be charged with the crime of death."

"We are different from them. If we get involved in this kind of thing, we will only die. That place is a hell of a place for us. It's better for us to stay away from them."

Jiang Sheng certainly has selfish motives.

But at the same time, he really wanted to stay away from them and be with Ke Xiaoxia.

So when he found the right opportunity, he took Ke Xiaoxia away without hesitation.

Ke Xiaoxia was completely stunned.

She asked with some difficulty: "So, something happened in the Jiang Mansion?"
