Just as Lingzhi raised the hairpin and was about to scratch Xiao Qingyun's face, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Lingzhi Mechanical's gaze moved inch by inch towards the handsome man in front of it.
He pursed his thin lips slightly, his black eyes like an eagle in the night, cold, arrogant, lonely, yet domineering.
This aura is so scary!
He looked a little unhappy.
Lingzhi then realized that she was too bold to openly assassinate the regent!
At this moment, she was half lying on Xiao Qingyun's chest, holding a hairpin in one hand and pressing the other hand on his chest. The weight of her whole body was almost on him. She was so close that she could feel his warm breath.
It is said that the regent can take the enemy's heads as easily as taking candy from a sack.
Lingzhi touched his head and felt that he could no longer keep it.
She was panicking inside, and quickly put her hairpin back on her head, trembling as she tried to climb off him. "Well, listen to my excuse...explain!"
"Ali..."
Xiao Qingyun grabbed Lingzhi's wrist and said, "Please don't go, don't leave me, A-Li!"
Ganoderma lucidum is as dumb as a wooden goose.
What the hell!
Is this a nightmare?
"Let me go, you've got the wrong person." Lingzhi shouted in panic.
After a while, Xiao Qingyun let her go, and his blurred eyes gradually became clear.
"No, no, you are not her... She is dead... It can't be you..."
Xiao Qingyun's whole body began to tremble, and he kept denying himself.
Lingzhi thought to himself: Why are you so excited?
I'm afraid he has some serious illness!
It is not advisable to stay here for long at this moment.
Lingzhi wanted to slip away, but was stopped by Xiao Qingyun: "Wait, you look familiar to me, are you the young lady of this mansion?"
She thought she was beautiful, and her body was rather frail. Because the young lady treated her kindly and her clothes were better than those of ordinary maids, Xiao Qingyun had a misunderstanding.
However, this misunderstanding is good.
Lingzhi lowered her eyes to hide the secret joy that flashed across her eyes.
Since he had recognized the wrong person, she had her own way to make him hate "the young lady of the Shen family" so much that he would never think of bringing her back to the capital.
It really was effortless.
She was just pondering when she heard Xiao Qingyun in front of her say again: "That day on the street, I vaguely saw the young lady when I opened my eyes, but then someone knocked me unconscious. You..."
"I didn't hit you!"
Lingzhi didn't bother to explore the complexity in Xiao Qingyun's eyes and hurriedly denied it.
Realizing that he was too impatient, he coughed twice and said, "It's... the maid in the mansion was ignorant and made a mistake..."
"A momentary mistake?"
Xiao Qingyun stared at her, his expression sinister and wary, his gaze as cold as a blade: "In my opinion, this is simply premeditated murder."
"That won't happen." Lingzhi put on a smile that was more embarrassing than crying.
"Such a bold maid deserves to be punished." Xiao Qingyun's low and cold voice sounded faintly.
"What punishment?" Lingzhi asked cautiously.
Xiao Tianmo opened his eyes coldly: "Walking on a mountain of knives, jumping into a cauldron of oil, peeling off skin and bones are not too much!"
Lingzhi was horrified when she heard this: "That's not necessary. The maid has already been reprimanded and punished. She knows she's wrong."
After hearing this, Xiao Qingyun narrowed his black eyes slightly, his eyes became playful, but he said nothing.
During the long time of waiting for him to speak, Lingzhi's heart felt like fifteen buckets of water were being drawn at it, beating wildly.
After a while, Xiao Qingyun leaned back slightly and said in a cold voice, "In that case, I won't bother with it."
Lingzhi felt relieved, and a smile overflowed from her heart, "You are really generous."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyun's eyes lit up and he looked handsome and extraordinary for a moment.
Lingzhi was stunned for a moment.
"I would also like to thank you for saving me and taking care of me for so many days. I will definitely repay you one day."
Xiao Qingyun's voice came into my ears.
Lingzhi came to his senses and despised himself for being so useless and indulging in beauty. He quickly got down to business and started to chase the people away:
"There's no need to rush to repay your kindness. I should have kept you for a few more days to recuperate, but I know you're eager to return home..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Qingyun interrupted her: "My family doesn't know that I'm in trouble, so they won't worry about me."
Seeing that he was unmoved, Lingzhi became determined and put on a greedy and mercenary face:
"Although the Shen family has some wealth, we are a merchant family. We value both profit and justice. If you really want to stay here, you must pay ten taels of silver per day."
"I should repay you with a thousand taels of silver. Twenty taels of silver a day is not too much!" Xiao Qingyun answered in an orderly manner.
Lingzhi widened her eyes. How could this person be so shameless?
Being insulted with money, shouldn't a high-ranking person like him be ashamed and angry?
Why are you still staying here?
"Then you just give me the money every day." Lingzhi concealed the strange look in his eyes.
She thought he had no money, so she was standing there asking him for it.
The implication is: If you can't pay, get out.
Xiao Qingyun felt around his body and hesitated for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was wrong.
He simply handed her the only jade pendant left on his waist: "This jade pendant is made of top-quality white jade, and its market value is no less than two hundred taels. Take it first, young lady."
Lingzhi looked down at the flawless jade pendant in front of her, and it was obvious that it was no ordinary item.
But he still took it without blushing or beating his heart, "Okay, the jade pendant is good for ten days, I'll come back to collect the money in ten days."
Lingzhi held the jade pendant in his hand, feeling very proud.
Now you must be shocked by her shamelessness and desire for reward, right?
