Chapter 1702: Feeling like being stabbed
Tang Bao rubbed her forehead helplessly.
Brother, you are so rude!
Those words were said by my nephew, not me.
You don't like being schemed against by women, you don't like being thought of by women, you don't like women coveting your looks, you don't like women falling for your masculinity...
We can all find ways to guard against these.
In short, I will definitely protect your innocence and will not let anyone succeed.
But can something like an engagement be made up casually?
Yi Mo is not an ordinary person, he is the future high priest of southern Xinjiang.
If I make up these things in front of her and they are exposed as lies in the future, wouldn't it hinder the relationship between the two countries?
"Brother, I didn't offend you, why are you taking revenge on me?" Tang Bao asked unconvinced.
Xuanyuan Jin felt a pang in his heart.
"Saying that you and I are engaged is revenge against you?" Xuanyuan Jin asked gritting his teeth.
"Of course!" Tang Bao said confidently, "A girl's reputation is so important! You are deliberately destroying my reputation! If this gets back to Dayan, how will I get married in the future?"
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
It wasn't just a heart attack, it felt like I was stabbed.
In fact, he knew that the little girl was right, but he just felt extremely uncomfortable.
Princess Linghua noticed that the atmosphere was not right. She secretly glanced at Xuanyuan Jin, then quickly reached out and smoothed Tang Bao's chest, saying, "Don't worry, Su Tang. Even if your reputation is damaged, you will definitely be able to get married..."
"That's right, Sister Fuya, you are now a celebrity in the entire capital and the most favored daughter-in-law in the hearts of wealthy families!" Xia Siya also quickly agreed.
Princess Linghua gave Xia Siya a blank look.
She hasn't finished talking yet, okay?
She added, "At worst, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be held responsible!"
As the Crown Prince's aunt of the same clan, Princess Linghua felt that it was her responsibility to speak up for her nephew, the Crown Prince, at this time.
So he quickly took back the conversation.
"Don't worry, Su Tang. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ruins your reputation, we can just let Him take responsibility." Princess Linghua said quickly.
I was afraid that if I spoke too slowly, someone would interrupt me.
After saying that, he quickly asked Xuanyuan Jin.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince will surely be willing to take full responsibility, right?"
As soon as Princess Linghua finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.
You can hear a pin drop!
Xuanyuan Jin: "...Yeah."
Suddenly, I felt an itch in my heart, and something broke out of the ground...
Tang Bao's mouth twitched.
"What's the point of being responsible? He's my brother!" Tang Bao angrily slapped Princess Linghua's hand away and emphasized, "Everyone in the capital knows that I, a little girl from the countryside, am the Crown Prince's sister!"
Tang Bao paused here, then changed her tone and continued, "When I went on a diplomatic mission to Western Qin with my brother, it was because of our brother-sister relationship that we didn't attract criticism."
Tang Bao glanced at Xuanyuan Jin and continued, "We don't have any elders around us right now. If rumors get out, won't we be accused of being unmarried and unengaged, and of having poor moral character?"
She doesn't care, but the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, and there must be no flaws in him, otherwise he will definitely be impeached by the censor!
Look at how considerate you are!
She is truly the best sister in the world!
Princess Linghua suddenly widened her eyes and said in shock: "Su Tang, you are so pedantic!"
Tang Bao: “…”
Is she pedantic?
Princess Linghua thought that Tang Bao would never care about those superficial things, but she didn't expect Tang Bao to say such words!
"Su Tang, I really misjudged you!" Princess Linghua said again.
Tang Bao immediately defended herself and said, "I am just observing etiquette, okay?
Well, she actually didn't know why she said that.
Anyway, those words came out.
It seems that if I don’t say it, something will happen.
Tang Bao couldn't explain how she felt, she just felt she had to say that.
What's more, she didn't want her brother to be tied to her out of responsibility.
Her brother will naturally marry a sister-in-law who is in tune with him in the future.
"We have elders around us." Xuanyuan Jin suddenly spoke softly, "Master is downstairs. Once a teacher, always a father. He can make the decision."
Tang Bao: “…”
Blinked.
What's the meaning?
"If you feel that the master's qualifications are not enough, there are two ancestors outside the southern border. The identity of the ancestor should be enough, right?" Xuanyuan Jin said again.
Tang Bao: “…”
No, what do you mean?
Tang Bao was a little confused.
"Or do you think I'm not worthy of you?" Xuanyuan Jin looked at Tang Bao with a dim gaze and added another sentence.
In the darkness, the phoenix eyes that sparkled in the daytime appeared extremely dark and bottomless.
Tang Bao: “…”
What should I do if my scalp suddenly feels numb?
As for what the little brother meant, she suddenly didn't want to know anymore.
"Well, hehe...it's late, let's get some rest quickly. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Let's disperse..."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, he quickly opened the door, went into the house, and escaped.
When Shi Liu saw this, he quickly followed him in and quickly closed the door.
An eerie silence suddenly filled the air.
Princess Linghua gave Xuanyuan Jin a sympathetic look, then secretly pulled Xia Siya's arm, and the two of them quickly slipped back into the house.
Da Pan and Er Pan felt the low pressure all around them, looked at each other in the dark, and quickly lay down on the floor to sleep.
The more you say at this time, the more mistakes you will make; the better off you will be if you say nothing.
Now that their aunt had left, they didn't dare to speak carelessly anymore.
Xuanyuan Jin stood in the dark for a moment and glanced in the direction of the stairs.
Zhao Wu felt a chill and quickly turned around and went downstairs.
He really didn't mean to eavesdrop.
He was just worried about his master's condition and went upstairs to ask.
As expected, I heard the little princess' words at the stairs.
Moreover, he could feel the master's depressed mood.
At this time, it is safest to stay away from the master.
Zhao Wu shed tears of sympathy for his master in his heart, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Hehe... the master will definitely have more and more depressed days in the future.
In a three-story bamboo building not far away, Yi Mo sat at the table, playing with a red and black poisonous snake with a look of boredom.
The poisonous snake lay obediently motionless between Yi Mo's hands, allowing Yi Mo to roll it into various shapes.
"That damn girl named Su Tang really has some skills!"
Yi Mo's voice rang out in the darkness, with a hint of resentful madness.
"Does she think she can protect him like this? Dream on! There's nothing I, Yi Mo, can't get when I set my eyes on it! She wants to protect him, but I'm determined not to let her have her wish..."
"I want her to watch her brother willingly kneel down beside me..."
"I want to refine him into a human puppet. I want him to be my dog, a poisonous snake, and bite her to death... bite her to death..."
Yi Mo spoke faster and faster, and by the end his speech was incoherent and his expression was ferocious.
Lu Yi stood in the corner, scared to the point of cold sweat on her forehead, but she dared not move, for fear of making the slightest noise and disturbing Yi Mo.
