Chapter 177 Purple Air Coming from the East
Lin Yunhuan was choked by Lin Xi's words and was speechless. His sister has changed her personality.
After a long silence, Lin Yunhuan asked, "How did you get to Beijing?"
Lin Xi did not hide it, "Wang Jing brought us here."
"You guys are actually involved with the Wang family." Lin Yunhuan really didn't expect that he could still get in touch with the Wang family from such a long distance. "This is simply courting death!"
Lin Xi knew this, and quickly tried to comfort him, "Second brother, given the situation, why not take a gamble? Besides, the chances of winning are very high."
Lin Yunhuan looked at Lin Xi in shock, "How do you know the chances of winning are high?"
"Intuition." Lin Xi couldn't say that he had the role of the protagonist and it was impossible for him to die miserably.
Lin Yunhuan: “…”
"Second brother," Lin Xi said in a slightly coquettish tone, "I haven't seen you for so long, don't you miss me?"
Lin Yunhuan really had no idea what to do with his spoiled sister and looked helpless.
"Where do you live now?"
When Lin Xi heard Lin Yunhuan say this, she knew that her second brother had forgiven her.
"It's just an inn."
"Inn?" Lin Yunhuan asked in surprise, "No, which inn? I'll go and pay the bill, and you guys can stay at my place."
Lin Xi was about to say that if they left, the Wang family wouldn't be able to find anyone there, but before she could finish her words, Lin Yunhuan said, "No room for negotiation."
Considering that she had already made her second brother very angry before, Lin Xi didn't dare to say anything more at this moment. In the end, she could only obediently live in the house where her second brother lived.
However, Lin Xi was still quite uneasy, "Will Wang Jing be worried if he can't find us?"
Xiao Yongyan knew Wang Jing too well, and said nonchalantly, "He knows that we have never returned to the inn, so he must have guessed that we were most likely discovered by the Lin family."
Lin Xi wanted to ask Wang Jing how he got there, but she stopped talking. Xiao Yongyan was the only one left in the capital from the Regent's family. If she said anything more, wouldn't it seem like she was being unreasonable?
The next day.
Lin Yunhuan came over early in the morning, holding a wooden box in his arms.
Lin Xi looked at it curiously with anticipation. Seeing her expression, Lin Yunhuan knew what his sister was thinking. He simply stopped hiding it and opened the box directly for Lin Xi to see.
The thing inside was strange. Lin Xi picked it up and it looked like a human face, but it felt like leather when he touched it.
"Human skin masks." Lin Yunhuan explained, "I guess you two will definitely not stay in the house quietly. Remember to wear the masks when you go out and be sure to talk less. There are spies everywhere in the capital. If your identities are discovered, you will be in big trouble."
Lin Xi was deeply moved. In the original owner's memory, this second brother seemed somewhat unreliable. But now it seems that he is thoughtful and wise.
"Thank you, second brother." Lin Xi thanked him sincerely.
Lin Yunhuan snorted, "Don't thank me, I'll just give you a few days, and then I'll take you out of the city."
When Lin Xi heard this, he quickly said, "No, I came to the capital for something important to do."
"What if?" Lin Yunhuan didn't care. "My mother wants to see you, which is the most important thing for me."
Speaking of her mother, Lin Xi suddenly became quiet. She had never seen the original owner's mother, but the emotion flowing in her blood seemed to be aroused by the word "mother".
"Mother," Lin Xi paused, and seemed to have made up his mind before saying the last two words, "Is it okay?"
Lin Yunhuan was in a dilemma, "You will know when you see it."
He didn't know whether he should say it was good or bad. If it was good, it would certainly comfort his sister, but in reality, how could she feel good inside when her daughter was suffering outside.
After saying this, Lin Yunhuan seemed to have other things to do and left first.
Xiao Yongyan looked at the facial masks on the table with interest, "You, the second brother, are more powerful than I thought."
Lin Xi was a little surprised when he heard Xiao Yongyan suddenly say this, "What's going on?"
Xiao Yongyan covered his face and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, your second brother seems to have his eyes on another one."
Another one? Lin Xi was a little slow to react for a while, and it took her a while to realize that Xiao Yongyan meant that Lin Yunhuan was on the side of another claimant.
"How can this be possible!" Lin Xi stood up suddenly. "If we are not careful, we will lose our lives. Wouldn't that bring trouble to the entire Lin family?"
What's more, the fact that they are on the side of the Thirteenth Prince will be exposed sooner or later. By then, the Lin family will be in a real dilemma, as they are neither popular nor not popular.
"Whether the Lin family is willing or not, they are destined to stand on the Thirteenth team." Lin Xi said, "Second brother is not a stupid person, can't he figure this out?"
Xiao Yongyan just smiled and said nothing. It's not that Lin Yunhuan didn't understand, but he probably couldn't accept his younger sister getting involved in these things for the time being.
"You've finally come to the capital, and you clearly didn't have a good time last time. It's rare that your second brother gives you such good things, why don't you go out for a walk?" Xiao Yongyan suggested.
This suggestion was exactly what Lin Xi wanted. How could she be willing to stay in the house quietly?
"good."
The two men left as soon as they said they would, and behind them were Lin Yunhuan's secret guards.
The capital city is magnificent and dazzling. Lin Xi felt it was even better after strolling along the streets during the day.
Xiao Yongyan looked up and saw a jewelry shop, so he pulled Lin Xi in.
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Xi has been with him for such a long time, but he has never bought her anything. He should make up for it.
"Come in and see if there's anything you like?"
Lin Xi had little interest in gold, silver and jade. This store had many styles of silver, gold and jade wares, but there was only one thing displayed alone in the center of the store.
She immediately became interested because she used to buy this thing often - crystal.
Compared to these metal jade artifacts, Lin Xi is more interested in the wide variety of crystals.
"This is amethyst." Lin Xi said, staring at the amethyst raw stone in front of him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood in front of the crystal, the waiter in the store rushed over, fearing that if he was a step late, Lin Xi would destroy this treasure of the store.
"My dear sir, this is the most valuable treasure of our store - Purple Air Coming from the East. It's very expensive," said the waiter.
The so-called high price, how much is it? Lin Xi was a little curious, "How much does it cost?"
The waiter looked embarrassed. He looked at the way Lin Xi and the others were dressed and it seemed that they couldn't afford it. Why did they keep asking questions? "Sir, to be honest, this piece of Purple Air is enough to buy the shop next door."
Lin Xi remembered that there seemed to be a small snack shop next to this jewelry store, but the land price in the capital was expensive, and it would probably cost several thousand taels to buy the shop.
But Lin Xi was not unable to afford the money. Seeing that Lin Xi seemed to like it, Xiao Yongyan said, "If you like it, let's buy it."
Lin Xi quickly interrupted, "What are you talking about? Don't make a fool of yourself here. I'm just looking to see where to buy it."
Xiao Yongyan was very thoughtful. When he heard Lin Xi say that, he immediately cooperated and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will make a lot of money and buy you ten Purple Qi from the East."
