Ling Jing didn't expect Lin Jiu to be so disrespectful to her. She refused outright, and the embarrassment on her smiling face was hard to hide for a moment.
Ye Xiu quickly tried to smooth things over, "Oh, Xiaojiu is too tired today. She just arrived in the capital from Bincheng, and we dragged her to play mahjong and other things. Let's quickly arrange for her to rest. Butler, quickly arrange for Miss Yejiu to wash up."
The housekeeper understood what Ye Xiu meant and quickly arranged for the servants to respectfully approach Lin Jiu. "Miss, please come this way."
"Cousin, you just arrived and are not familiar with the place, so let me take you to your room!" Ling Jing stood in front of the servant and held Lin Jiu's arm tightly.
Lin Jiu is also a smart man. Just based on the conversation and eye contact between the few people in this moment, he can tell that Ling Jing is deeply loved by the eldest brother Ye Chen.
You have to give face to your elder brother, so Lin Jiu reluctantly agreed.
When Lin Jiu walked into his room, he stopped being polite with Ling Jing and said, "Go back. I need to rest. I don't like strangers in my room."
Ling Jing's face turned pale at these words, but her eyes immediately softened. "Cousin, we are sisters, not strangers. I'm going to rest now, and you should rest early too."
After Ling Jing left the room, she cursed fiercely, "Miss from the countryside, you are no match for me. We will meet again."
She walked leisurely in the corridor, reached into her pocket and touched a bunch of keys, which were the keys to Lin Jiu's room that she had copied.
"You'll have to bear the consequences!" Ling Jing proudly turned the corner of the corridor and suddenly bumped into someone.
The man was wearing a white suit and his face was cold, as if the air around him had become cold because of his temperament.
"Sorry." Bai Mu nodded politely, then walked past Ling Jing and left.
"It's okay." Ling Jing replied politely, but she was cursing fiercely in her heart. Ever since Lin Jiu came to the Ye family, this place has become like this. They even took in such a stray dog.
Bai Mu returned to his room, sat on the sofa and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket.
This is the key to Lin Jiu’s room that Ling Jing copied. Bai Mu deliberately bumped into Ling Jing and took the opportunity to get the key.

After Lin Jiu finished washing up, he lay down on the soft big bed.
The room is very luxuriously decorated, and the bed sheets and quilt covers are all high-end.
This is her home, and she has many relatives there.
Lin Jiu felt like he was dreaming, nothing seemed real.
But it suddenly reminded her of someone who had soft hair that felt very comfortable to touch.
But Huo Shen left in Bincheng in a hurry that day and has not sent her a message until now.
Lin Jiu, lying on the bed, opened his mobile phone, clicked on Huo Shen's profile picture, and edited a message.
[Ye Yan has been rescued safely. I am in the Ye Family Castle in the Imperial Capital.]
But after waiting for a long time, there was no reply from Huo Shen.
Maybe he's working on something right now.
Just as Lin Jiu was about to turn off his phone, a notification sound suddenly came from WeChat.
Huo Shen's profile picture flickered. He sent a photo of Lin Jiu sleeping, along with the caption, "Go to bed early. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
It was obvious that Huo Shen must have taken this photo secretly while she was sleeping. Lin Jiu cursed silently in her heart, "You bastard."
Then he sent a GIF of a Dalmatian and turned off his phone.
She rubbed her temples. Playing cards tonight really took up a lot of her brain cells. It was also her first day living in her own home, so she fell asleep quickly and slept very soundly.
In the early morning, the door handle of Lin Jiu's room moved.
The man in white pajamas slowly opened the door, holding a sharp dagger in his hand.
The wind blew outside the window, and the shadows of the trees swayed.
The man walked briskly to Lin Jiu's bedside, then stabbed Lin Jiu's neck with a dagger.
