Chapter 40: Passers-by in the Ancient World 14

The two people who were originally at loggerheads looked at Jiang Sheng at the same time.

Jiang Sheng then shut up reluctantly.

Before shutting up, he couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you glaring at me? Am I not telling the truth?"

"Besides, shouldn't we see who Xiao Xia likes now?"

Jiang Sheng also knew that he was not very competitive, so he could only take a roundabout way to save the situation.

Try to belittle others and express your sincerity.

Jiang Mingzhi and Lin Jing were also very curious about who Ke Xiaoxia liked.

Even though Ke Xiaoxia doesn't like them, they won't give up.

But if Ke Xiaoxia likes them, they will naturally be happy.

Meeting the gazes of the three people, Ke Xiaoxia remained silent.

Jiang Sheng looked at Ke Xiaoxia expectantly: "Xiaoxia, who do you like? Just say it boldly, don't be afraid."

Lin Jing and Jiang Mingzhi were more reserved, but there was a subtle hint of expectation in their eyes when they looked at Ke Xiaoxia.

Jiang Mingzhi slowed down his tone and said, "No matter who you like, we won't do anything to you. You can speak your mind boldly."

Lin Jing didn't say anything, but just stared at Ke Xiaoxia, waiting for her answer.

The pressure was put on Ke Xiaoxia.

Ke Xiaoxia glanced at the three people one by one, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Could she say that she didn't really like it?

Liking is a feeling. In this life and in ancient times, Ke Xiaoxia really didn’t have this kind of liking feeling towards the three of them.

Maybe it’s because of their unequal status.

Although all three of them were pretty good and looked pleasing to the eye, Ke Xiaoxia just didn't feel attracted to any of them.

Although she didn't like them, she still had a good impression of them. Ke Xiaoxia had no objection to living with any of the three.

But since it was ancient times, even Jiang Sheng, who had the lowest status among the three, had a higher status than her.

It was very common for men in ancient times to take concubines. Ke Xiaoxia knew that they liked her, but she could not guarantee that they would not have the habitual thinking of ancient men.

Ke Xiaoxia has seen many comments on the Internet that some men's hearts and bodies seem to be separate.

They say they love each other, but that doesn't stop them from having other women.

Ke Xiaoxia hates this.

Divorce is an option in modern times.

If you made the wrong choice in ancient times, there would be no room for regret.

As his thoughts changed, Ke Xiaoxia decided to be the kind of person he hated.

Of course, she is different from that kind of man. She doesn't say she loves someone and then sleep with someone else.

"Actually, you're all good, and I like you all. I can't make a choice."

After saying this, the shame that had disappeared for a long time began to emerge uncontrollably.

After experiencing her previous life, Ke Xiaoxia has actually become much more calm.

Her inferiority complex has almost disappeared, and she will no longer always doubt and deny herself.

But the current situation is still somewhat different.

To say that I like three of them at once is a bit beyond the scope.

After Ke Xiaoxia finished speaking, her face turned red first.

Feeling the heat on her cheeks, Ke Xiaoxia wanted to cover her face.

The three people in front of him were obviously shocked by Ke Xiaoxia's answer.

Jiang Sheng blinked and asked in confusion: "So, Xiao Xia likes all three of them? That means Xiao Xia actually likes me?"

Jiang Mingzhi was the calmest one. He drank a sip of tea with a normal expression and said, "Very good."

Lin Jing was stunned.

His reaction was probably the biggest.

Ke Xiaoxia lowered her eyes and didn't look at him. She just said, "I really can't choose. Even if I have to choose, I'm afraid. I'm just a little maid. Each of you has a higher status than me. If you regret it in the future and have other women, I will be the one who suffers in the end."

"I won't have another woman." Lin Jing said in a deep voice, and he repeated again: "Never."

Jiang Mingzhi and Jiang Sheng also expressed their views.

"Maybe your promise is true now, but a lifetime is too long. I can't gamble my whole life."

Ke Xiaoxia raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jing: "With your current status, you will probably have many beauties in your harem in the future. If I choose you, do I have to fight with them?"

"Don't say you won't take a concubine. Even if you can withstand the pressure temporarily, if I can't get pregnant in this life, are you sure you can withstand it for the rest of your life?"

There really is a throne to be inherited in Lin Jing's family.

Jiang Sheng immediately stated: "I won't take a concubine, and I don't care if I have children or not. I just want Xiao Xia."

Jiang Mingzhi took a sip of tea slowly and said, "I already have a son named Jiang Sheng. If you agree to marry me, Xiaoxia, you can have more sons, and you don't even have to worry about raising them."

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but glare at Jiang Mingzhi fiercely.

Ke Xiaoxia was also speechless at Jiang Mingzhi's words.

Lin Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly, his tone was particularly hurt: "If both of them can do it, then why can't I? Is it just because of my identity?"

"Xiao Xia, you underestimate me."

Ke Xiaoxia lowered her eyes and said nothing.

She didn't look down on Lin Jing, she just didn't trust men in this environment.

Whether it is Lin Jing, Jiang Mingzhi or Jiang Sheng.

The lack of equal social status makes her feel insecure, so she said she likes all three of them and lets them check and balance each other.

Lin Jing and Jiang Mingzhi saw clearly what Ke Xiaoxia was thinking.

Jiang Sheng also felt the same way, but he didn't know how to say it so that Ke Xiaoxia would believe it.

Jiang Mingzhi knew that it was useless to say anything, so he didn't plan to say more. Now it all depended on whether Lin Jing was willing to take a step back.

Lin Jing took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "Xiao Xia, I understand your concerns. You can ignore the existence of Jiang Sheng and Jiang Mingzhi, but Xiao Xia, you must marry me. I want to be your legitimate husband."

Ke Xiaoxia looked at Lin Jing in surprise.

Lin Jing stepped forward and hugged Ke Xiaoxia tightly in his arms.

After the deal was reached, Lin Jing and Jiang Mingzhi began to plan and prepare.

What he was planning was naturally the throne.

Lin Jing wanted to be the emperor, and he wanted Ke Xiaoxia to be the queen, so that when future generations talked about them, they would never be able to separate them.

They don’t know Jiang Sheng, and even if they know Jiang Mingzhi, he is just a subject.

He and Xiaoxia are husband and wife.

Perhaps because of this motivation, Lin Jing worked extra hard.

Jiang Mingzhi didn't think so much about it. He just thought it would be good to let Ke Xiaoxia be the queen. That way, no one would talk behind her back or look down on her status.

Maybe she wouldn't feel so insecure this way?

Jiang Sheng is the most idle among the three.

Jiang Sheng accompanies Ke Xiaoxia almost every day, which makes Lin Jing and Jiang Mingzhi very jealous.

Even if Lin Jing became the emperor and Ke Xiaoxia became the queen, Jiang Sheng would rather pretend to be a eunuch and stay with Ke Xiaoxia.

Lin Jing was so angry that he laughed: "Want to be a eunuch? How about I make you a real eunuch?"

Jiang Sheng turned around and went to Ke Xiaoxia to complain: "Xiaoxia, Lin Jing bullied me. He said he wanted to turn me into a eunuch."

Ke Xiaoxia: “…”
