Chapter 201 Token of Love
Lu Wanyin really didn't want to pay attention to him, but her feet were itchy.
When she almost couldn't breathe from laughing, Xie Jingci tucked the little feet back into the quilt: "It's cold, keep it warm."
Lu Wanyin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, snorted, and prepared to bury her face in the quilt again.
But someone grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back.
Something cool touched my face.
Lu Wanyin felt suffocated and reached out to grab it.
The tentacles are warm and smooth, and when you touch them carefully, you can seem to feel faint lines on your fingertips.
When Lu Wanyin took it and took a look, she found that it was actually a jade-carved hairpin.
The shape is simple, with two pieces of finely carved jade in the front and back, firmly fastened together in the middle with ingenious craftsmanship.
The links are inlaid with exquisite gold threads, outlining delicate patterns.
Especially the jade itself, the faint purple light flowing through it makes all external decorations become unimportant.
Lu Wanyin's eyes lit up, and she couldn't let go of it and played with it: "This is the piece of spring color..."
A piece of jade the size of a fist is not long enough to make a hairpin.
Lu Wanyin only asked the shopkeeper who could turn stone into gold to make a jade crown, but now there was an extra hairpin.
Lu Wanyin looked at the hairpin and liked it very much: "Where is your hair crown?"
Xie Jingci took it and showed it to her: "Since it is a token of love, of course you and I should have one each. I came back today and happened to see it was finished, so I went to get it."
Lu Wanyin was delighted, and the dissatisfaction she had originally wanted to ask questions disappeared without a trace.
She held the hairpin to her head and carefully put it away: "Forget it, I'll forgive you this time."
After a long time without seeing any response from the person next to her, Lu Wanyin turned her head to look.
But I found that Xie Jingci had fallen asleep without me noticing.
He still held the jade crown tightly in his hand, his head resting on the pillow beside her neck, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.
Lu Wanyin looked at the pale blue under his eyes and sighed.
She raised her fingertips slightly, wanting to touch the dark circles under his eyes, but when she was about to touch them, she pulled her hand back.
Forget it. This man has been out for two days, so he must not have had a good rest. It’s better not to wake him up.
Lu Wanyin got off the bed quietly and rummaged around in the space for a long time.
When she searched the capital for houses, she found a lot of incense from various families.
Half of it is filled with the best calming incense.
Lu Wanyin closed the window, took out some fine calming incense, lit it, and placed it on the bedside.
Finally, she did not forget to put the huge rock at the door back into the space.
On the bed, Xie Jingci's slightly wrinkled brows gradually relaxed.
Looking at his handsome features, Lu Wanyin smiled silently.
Only at this time could she not worry about him doing something bad.
The scent of the calming incense gradually filled the room.
Thinking that Xie Jingci should be sleeping soundly enough, Lu Wanyin slowly took off the jade crown from his hand and put it aside.
She gently helped him take off his shoes and socks, and moved his long legs onto the bed.
Lu Wanyin stepped over him and prepared to move closer to avoid touching him.
But as soon as she lay down, Xie Jingci seemed to sense a familiar breath, and subconsciously leaned towards her, skillfully holding her in his arms.
"lady……"
He mumbled something but did not wake up.
Lu Wanyin put her face against his chest, listening to the clear and strong heartbeat, and smiled with pursed lips.
She quietly put her arms around his waist, listened to his heartbeat, closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning.
When Lu Wanyin woke up, Xie Jingci was no longer around, and the jade crown had been taken away.
She yawned lazily.
The calming incense yesterday was very effective.
She didn't know whether Xie Jingci slept well or not.
She had a very good sleep.
After washing up, Lu Wanyin felt refreshed.
It’s almost time, let’s go downstairs to have breakfast and then take a walk around the farm.
And that wheelchair should be finished.
The corners of Lu Wanyin's lips curled up slightly.
Oh, it's another busy day.
On the other side, the Fanzhou government office.
Xu Yinghe's aunt arrived at the government office early in the morning.
The prefect of Fanzhou had not even woken up when he was woken up by the woman who wanted to file a complaint.
If someone else complained, he would send someone to deal with it.
But this woman...
The prefect of Fanzhou met the woman impatiently and asked: "Mrs. Lin, who are you suing today?"
Xu's husband's family was the Lin family, a well-known merchant family in Fanzhou.
In the entire Fanzhou, only Mu Ji can challenge the Lin family.
If the Lin family were just a wealthy business family, the Fanzhou prefect would not be afraid of them.
However, the head of the Lin family had a sister from a side branch who was extremely beautiful and was favored by the prince of Qi Xuanhou and was taken as a concubine.
The Lin family now works for the Qi Xuanhou Mansion, and even his ability to hold the position of prefect was due to the help of the Lin family.
Since he took office as prefect, the two families have had frequent interactions.
Of course, he didn't want to offend the Lin family.
"Sir, please help me. There's a woman who has no regard for the law. She dared to rob people in broad daylight."
Whenever Xu mentioned Lu Wanyin, she became furious.
She recounted what happened yesterday, adding some exaggeration.
She felt ashamed when she thought about how Lu Wanyin had lied and lied about being Hou Yuanji's friend and had scared her away.
Xu couldn't help but add fuel to the fire: "Sir, that woman forced people to write blood letters. The whole page was written in blood. This is not going to kill people."
She knew that Xie Ziqian was fine, but she deliberately didn't mention it, intending to make a big deal out of it.
Upon hearing this, the Fanzhou prefect perked up: "This actually involves a life. Come on, quickly arrest the criminal."
It's the end of the year, and he has been indulging in pleasure this year and has not achieved any political achievements.
Now a person has come in and caused a murder.
Political achievements are coming.
If I can handle this matter well, I can also do the Lin family a favor. It is such a good deal.
Xu smiled with a sinister look on her face: "Sir, you don't know the thief, I will lead the way."
Isn't that woman arrogant?
She wanted to see how he could still be so arrogant now.
At Xu's request, the prefect of Fanzhou sent half of the officials and soldiers from the county government office, who rushed all the way from the government office to the inn with great fanfare and surrounded the inn tightly.
Xu adjusted the gold hairpin on her head and looked at the people passing by with pride.
She deliberately wore yesterday's outfit today.
To regain the upper hand, of course, one must act more superior and more gorgeous.
"Everyone."
Xu smiled and looked at the officials: "The prefect said that if we catch the thief this time, we will reward him according to his merit, regardless of life or death."
How dare he treat her like a fool?
Even if the king of heaven came today, he couldn’t save this bitch.
"What are you doing here? It's an eyesore. Get out of here!"
Before Xu had time to take people to arrest Lu Wanyin, an impatient voice was heard at the door.
It was Hou Yuanji.
Xu immediately recognized what was going on and quickly went over to greet him with a smile: "It's Young Master Hou who has returned. Why don't you guys get out of the way and stop blocking his way?"
She walked to the door in a few steps and smiled at Hou Yuanji ingratiatingly: "Master Hou, do you still remember me?"
How could Hou Yuanji not remember her?
Now when he saw Xu, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.
It was all because of this woman. He was almost scared to death by Lu Wanyin yesterday.
