Chapter 24

Gu Jingchen pretended to be panicked and found her.

"Cousin Yue'er! How did you get here?"

Ye Jingyue quickly tidied her clothes, turned around calmly, and gave Gu Jingchen a decent smile.

"Cousin, I'm lost."

This excuse was fake.

Both of them knew it.

Gu Jingchen pretended to be relieved and said gently: "Cousin, you just came to the imperial city and are not familiar with this place. If you need anything, just tell me and I will take you there."

"Okay, thank you cousin."

[Cousin is really so gentle! Love it!]

Gu Jingchen remained calm and his voice was steady.

"Let's go back to Tianxianglou. They must be waiting anxiously."

"Okay."

An hour had passed since they bought the Tanghulu and returned to Tianxianglou.

This period of time is long enough for lovers who have not seen each other for a long time.

Lin Shishi and Zhou Wei have already gotten over their longing for each other.

So when Ye Jingyue and Gu Jingchen came back, the smiles on their faces were relaxed and happy.

Lin Shishi even went straight forward and held Ye Jingyue's hand affectionately.

"Sister Yue'er, why did you come back so late? The food is already cold. I'll ask someone to bring up what you like to eat."

Ye Jingyue rubbed Lin Shishi's soft hands with her small hands, with a sincere smile on her face.

"The Imperial City is so much fun. I had so much fun that I wasted time."

[The Fifth Prince is already blind, and he has basically no chance of becoming the emperor. This can be regarded as helping Lin Shishi avoid the Fifth Prince, this bastard. But the Prime Minister is a snobbish man. He is shameless for power, and there is no telling how he will harm Lin Shishi. ]

[The best way is for nothing to happen to the Duke's Mansion, my cousin, or Zhou Wei. ]

[A beautiful and gentle girl like Lin Shishi deserves a happy ending. ]

[Alas! Sure enough, I have no resistance to beautiful and gentle girls. ]

[For Lin Shishi to have a good future, this hero will take action again!]

A touch of tenderness flashed across Gu Jingchen's eyes.

My cousin is a kind person.

As for the archery competition…

Archery is the vanguard of Daqian’s military deployment, so every three years, an archery competition is held, and the winner will receive rewards and official positions.

He wants to use Zhou Wei, and there is nothing better than letting him win the first prize in the archery competition.

However, this is a friendly competition, and there will be no casualties.

Zhou Wei will be pierced by thousands of arrows in this competition and die

. His intuition told him that there was a conspiracy.

He raised his ears and listened carefully, hoping to hear more from Ye Jingyue’s inner voice.

Ye Jingyue, however, had already taken Lin Shishi's hand and led her into the private room. She pointed at the scenery outside the window with her slender hand: "Sister Lin, look, there are lanterns on the water."

The private room was very large, and their voices became smaller and smaller after they walked in.

Fortunately, Gu Jingchen was very skilled in martial arts, and as long as he paid attention, he could hear their conversation, and he could also hear Ye Jingyue's thoughts.

Zhou Wei saw that Gu Jingchen's eyes were always looking in the direction of the private room.

He knew that Gu Jingchen was definitely not looking at Lin Shishi.

Because Lin Shishi was his lover.

"You seem to care a lot about your new cousin."

Gu Jingchen smiled meaningfully.

He is so concerned! He wants to be with her all the time!

Ye Jingyue here took Lin Shishi's hand affectionately and took her to the window, looking at the beautiful scenery on the lake outside the window.

Lanterns one after another, reflecting the peaceful lake with colorful lights.

She turned over Lin Shishi's palm.

"Sister Lin, I know a little about palm reading. I'll study it for you."

"Really? Okay! Show me."

Lin Shishi likes Ye Jingyue very much. She makes her feel comfortable and happy.

She likes Ye Jingyue.

Ye Jingyue looked at her palm and suddenly frowned and said.

"Sister Lin, your marriage line is so strange..."

Lin Shishi was amused by her cute expression and smiled and said, "Oh, why is it strange? Tell me about it."

"Sister Lin, the marriage line on your palm shows that your first marriage is not smooth! Your first marriage is in name only. The two people's hearts cannot be close, and they will separate after a few years of marriage."

The surprise on Lin Shishi's face flashed by, and she quickly hid it.

She smiled.

"What you said is very interesting! Could it be that I have a second marriage? Haha, I'm very curious, please continue."

Lin Shishi didn't think what Ye Jingyue said was interesting, but obviously thought she was too accurate.

Only she, Gu Jingchen and Zhou Wei knew about her deal with him. She believed in Gu Jingchen's character. Even if Ye Jingyue was his cousin, he would not reveal a single word.

There was only one possibility!

Ye Jingyue was too accurate.

Ye Jingyue rubbed her hand in a fake manner, and his fair fingers moved across the marriage line on her hand.

"Your palm shows that you have had two marriages. Your second marriage was a mutual one, and your first marriage was actually paved for the happiness of your second marriage."

Lin Shishi was shocked beyond words.

Gu Jingchen pricked up his ears to listen. If he could not hear Ye Jingyue's inner thoughts, he would be suspicious of who sent Ye Jingyue when Ye Jingyue so abruptly told him the essence of the matter.

Ye Jingyue looked at the shock on Lin Shishi's face and knew that she had believed it to some extent.

So he struck while the iron was hot and pretended to be thoughtful and said, "It's just that your second engagement may not happen, because your palm says that the other party will have a great disaster recently. He will die a violent death." Ye Jingyue's calculations before were too accurate.

Now Ye Jingyue's change of tone made Lin Shishi very nervous.

She tried to calm down and keep her tone as calm as possible.

"What disaster? If he can't get through it, does it mean that I won't get married again and can stay with your cousin for the rest of my life?"

"What disaster... Your palm shows that it seems to be a kind of competitive competition. He will be tricked and lose his life in the arena. It will happen in the next few days."

Almost in an instant, Lin Shishi thought of the archery competition in a few days.

Not long ago, Zhou Wei excitedly told her that he would participate in the archery competition held every three years.

He will win first place in the competition and prove himself.

If what Ye Jingyue calculated is true, Zhou Wei will be in danger in the competition

. Ye Jingyue's reminders are almost enough. Lin Shishi's expression is very obvious that she has taken it to heart, so she quickly turned a blind eye.

"Sister Lin, I just said it casually, it's not accurate. You and my cousin are so well matched, you must be a match made in heaven, you will be happy in this life, and there will be no second marriage, don't believe my nonsense."
