Chapter 71: Saying the same thing too many times will make you bored
Is it for the future of the Lin family again?
Saying the same thing too many times will make people bored.
Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, and a flash of impatience flashed in his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.
However, he still held her in his arms and comforted her softly.
He said, "You are kind-hearted, so you would do this. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have disappeared long ago, and some would even marry someone else instead."
It's not uncommon for people to marry on behalf of others.
This is what the Ningguo Marquisate did in the previous life. At first, the prince's concubine was clearly the daughter of Minister Su, but later, the prince fell in love with the concubine of the Ningguo Marquisate.
Originally, the matter had been a foregone conclusion, but for some unknown reason, at the time of the Crown Prince's wedding, it was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Ningguo who showed up. However, the matter was done and could not be changed. It was a pity that the concubine's daughter ended up marrying the man who could be her grandfather, and was eventually tortured to death.
Seeing that it was profitable, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Ningguo replaced the concubine's daughter.
And now, the eldest daughter of the Lin family is unprofitable and even has a miserable end. Why can't Lin Qingjun take her place and let her suffer the pain of being childless in her previous life?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan was stunned again.
How could he have such a ridiculous idea?
No, no, even if they wanted Lin Qingjun to replace Lin Yingxue, he would not agree. He said that he would marry Lin Qingjun. Even if she was not his wife, he would make her a concubine as compensation for killing her in his previous life.
Therefore, the best way is to let the Lin family cancel the marriage with the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Xiao Yuan recalled the scene when he met Lin Yingxue.
"Yingxue, do you know that when you took out the cake and appeared in front of me, you really were like a fairy from heaven who saved me from suffering."
"I will never forget you coming here with your back to the light. Even though you were wearing a veil, I could still vaguely see your beautiful profile through the light."
"I was thinking, how nice it would be if I could see you, even if it's just from a distance."
"After all, God has been very kind to me. Not only did he allow me to see you, but he also allowed me to be so close to you. I, Xiao Yuan, really have nothing else to ask for in this life."
Recalling what happened in the past, Xiao Yuan's eyes were full of affection. He hugged Lin Yingxue even tighter, wishing he could rub her into his own bones and blood.
But he didn't notice that Lin Yingxue's face turned paler with every word he said, especially when he mentioned giving her cakes, she was so scared that she couldn't control herself.
Only she herself knows the truth, but she will keep it to herself forever and never tell anyone.
"Yingxue, what's wrong with you? You feel a little cold."
Lin Yingxue quickly said, "No, I, I'm just scared."
Lin Yingxue thought of something and changed the subject.
"Xiao Lang, you said that if there were two paths before you, one was to become the prince's personal guard and a powerful official, and the other was to follow the routine, from student to Jinshi, and then to Hanlin Academy, which would take several years or even more than ten years to become a Hanlin Academy Bachelor?"
She desperately wanted to know what he would choose, because she also had a hard time choosing.
Although Xiao Yuan didn't understand what Lin Yingxue meant by asking this question, she seemed very anxious.
He thought for a moment and said, "For you, I can become the prince's personal guard."
Only in this way, when he had greater power and was above the Wu'an Marquisate, could he stop the marriage.
At that time, he could force Lin Yingxue into his arms so that she would not be snatched away by others.
Moreover, he had already walked the path of a Hanlin Academy scholar, and he didn't want to go down the old path again. Therefore, when he prepared to meet the Grand Tutor at this palace banquet, he wanted to meet the Crown Prince through him.
When Lin Yingxue heard this, the balance in her mind slowly tilted towards the Crown Prince. Even Xiao Yuan thought that the Crown Prince was a good choice, let alone her? So, don't blame her for being ruthless, but rather that Ji Chenchuan was not worthy of her.
However, Xiao Yuan was right, the prince was the most important. How could the position of the old lady in the marquis's mansion be compared with the position of the imperial concubine in the harem?
"By the way, Yingxue, where is the handkerchief you used before? Why haven't I seen you use it for a long time?" Xiao Yuan asked.
Lin Yingxue was startled again and hurriedly put away the handkerchief in her hand. How could she use such a dishonest handkerchief?
She casually picked up a handkerchief that was not a fashionable style and dealt with it hastily.
"Alright, Xiao Lang, it's getting late. You should leave the house. Don't let anyone notice us doing anything strange."
Lin Yingxue thought again of the broken brush that Xiao Yuan left in front of her yard. It had really hurt her badly, and she didn't want to be punished again.
Lin Yingxue walked out of the rockery and left without looking back.
Xiao Yuan looked at her figure, which seemed to be about to flee, but he immediately denied this idea. Yingxue was so kind, she must have done this because she didn't want to be discovered, not run away.
Xiao Yuan straightened his clothes and strode out of the Lin Mansion.
Lin Yingxue went all the way back to Xueyuan, but halfway there she met Lin Qingjun who was also out to relax.
She suddenly remembered that Xiao Yuan had just mentioned the handkerchief, and anger surged up in her, and she knocked the thing in Lin Qingjun's hand to the ground.
Lin Qingjun looked at the thread basket on the ground, looked at her with cold eyes, and without thinking, pulled out the hairpin on her head and threw it into the lotus pond.
She had bought that hairpin for twenty taels of silver. Both its style and workmanship were excellent, and it was one of her favorite hairpins. But how could it be thrown into the pond by Lin Qingjun?
Lin Yingxue was stunned for a long time before she reacted and screamed and cursed.
"Are you crazy?"
"How dare you, a mere concubine's daughter, throw away my hairpin?"
"Lin Qingjun, if you miss, just tell me."
More importantly, how dare she do that? In the past, she would only smile when she saw her, stay beside her like a dog, and obey her every word. She wouldn't dare to go west when she was told to go east, and wouldn't dare to do anything when she was told to stand.
Today, she just knocked over the thread basket, and she took her anger out on her hairpin. Is she really crazy?
Lin Qingjun snorted coldly, "You also said that, that was me before."
How could she compare to her current self? Did she think she hadn't suffered enough in her previous life?
She said that in this life, she would never allow her to do anything to hurt her, anything, understand?
"you?"
Lin Yingxue was so angry that her face turned pale.
"Lin Yingxue, why don't you let me go? Are you going to tell this to my father or mother?"
"Will they believe you? It's just you and me here now. If I say that you threw the hairpin into the water and wrongly accused me, what do you think they will think?"
"You might want to say that they naturally believe you, but don't forget that it was me who reminded them of the Crown Prince's banquet."
If she wanted to frame Lin Yingxue, she would have gone to the prince's banquet. With her looks, she was more than qualified to be a prince's attendant. If the prince inherited the throne in the future, she would at least be a concubine in the harem, truly becoming a phoenix.
But this time, she took the initiative to give up this opportunity, which shows that she doesn't want to ride on Lin Yingxue's head.
She cared so much about her, how could she lay hands on her hairpin? Isn't this a joke?
