Chapter 198 Taking the opportunity to discuss business
Xiao Chujing's words were full of mystery.
"Not really," Ye Xiaoman's tone was more casual than Xiao Chujing's. "It seems Ji Wenyi likes another concubine in the palace, named Bao-something."
Xiao Chujing: "He called you Abao?"
Ye Xiaoman: "Hmm, Ji Wenyi just pulled me out to block the knife."
The logic was flawless, and Ye Xiaoman successfully escaped.
Ye Xiaoman probed: "You and Ji Wenyi are good brothers. Has he told you about his emotional development?"
Xiao Chujing was not interested in Ji Wenyi's affair with his stepmother, as long as it didn't happen to him.
"There is no true friendship between men."
"It's just a friendship of interest."
The only time he relaxed in front of Ye Xiaoman was when he would not hide his true thoughts from her.
Just like a young couple hiding under the quilt, whispering to each other and talking privately.
"Ji Wenyi needs my help."
Xiao Chujing scratched Ye Xiaoman's nose lovingly.
"I need to support my family."
When the word "supporting a family" is mentioned, the puppy's eyes light up and his chest becomes sweet.
He didn't have a complete family since childhood.
In the big world, he pretends to be friendly with all kinds of people in order to earn more resources to prepare for building his own small home.
Ye Xiaoman felt relieved when she found out that the two men had not communicated with each other.
Xiao Chujing was extremely tender and smiled as he watched Ye Xiaoman happily playing with the necklace pendant. She was like a child who had received a beloved gift, so childish that it was endearing.
He seemed to have a skin-hungry disease. As soon as he saw her, he couldn't help but long for her hug.
He coaxed ingratiatingly: "Little Junior Sister, let Senior Brother hold you, okay?"
Ye Xiaoman let Xiao Chujing hold her for a while. She was afraid of being seen by Ji Wenyi's men, so she found an excuse to leave the small dark room. She and Xiao Chujing pretended to be strangers, and left the corridor one after the other.
Ye Xiaoman hesitated, pretending to stand by the corridor to enjoy the scenery. She made sure that Xiao Chujing's scent had gone away before continuing to walk forward.
She couldn't make it twenty steps.
Swish.
Another empty tea room opened a crack.
Bang!
Scored twice.
She was pulled by the arm into a brand new small dark room.
Ye Xiaoman looked at the Su sisters in front of her and felt depressed.
She guessed that she had some damn sense of brokenness in her, otherwise it would be hard to explain why both men and women liked to press her against the door.
Su Lingzhen was half a head taller than Ye Xiaoman. She rested one hand on the wooden board next to Ye Xiaoman's face and looked down at her expressionlessly, "Hand it over."
Ye Xiaoman looked down at the hand Su Lingzhen extended to her, "What?"
"Hush money."
"You are the prince's concubine, but we witnessed with our own eyes that you and that Xiao Xianchang were hiding and meeting secretly."
Su Lingzhen calmly read out the evidence of Ye Xiaoman's infidelity:
"You should thank us for leading the prince away for you just now. Otherwise, according to the prince's methods, you would have been dead today."
Ye Xiaoman's eyes widened. "When Ji Wenyi was following me, you didn't warn me. In order to extort money, you deliberately waited until I made a mistake before taking action?"
Su Ling was too lazy to explain. She stretched her hand further forward and repeated like a tape recorder, "Hush money."
Ye Xiaoman was surprised. She had a very good impression of Yuan Shu Suling.
Su Ling really thought that Xiao Chujing had kidnapped her sister Su Nian. She was furious and chased Xiao Chujing for three thousand miles with her sword. Her strength was so strong that Xiao Chujing had to draw his sword.
Later, I heard Su Nian say with my own ears, "Sister, I went with him of my own free will."
Su Lingzhen sighed deeply, "My Su family is a glorious family, and we have never produced such scum as to be content to be a concubine or a maid."
She broke the sword in anger and threw it at Su Nian's feet, severing all ties with her.
For the rest of his life, he never spoke a word to Su Nian again.
He was determined to rescue his sister, and left without looking back in disappointment.
The original book rarely describes her, probably because she is a martial arts fanatic who is oblivious to the world outside and is only focused on practicing.
While the protagonists were fighting monsters together, she was practicing.
She was still practicing when the demons attacked the city.
When Ji Wenyi was about to exterminate the entire Su clan, the family came to the cave to seek help. Su Lingzhen finally broke through and rushed to Ji Wenyi's throne with a sword.
The two of them contributed the shortest proposal scene in the book.
——Emperor Yi didn't even raise his head, nourishing his beloved orchid with his spiritual energy, "Marry?"
——Su Lingzhen: “No.”
——Emperor Yi: “Why?”
——Su Lingzhen: "My beloved daughter."
——Yidi: "Death?"
Su Lingzhen felt the emperor's pressure, looked down at her cracked sword blade, frowned, turned around and strode out of the palace: "Wedding in three days."
The original novel does not clearly explain the ending of Su Lingzhen. Based on clues, readers infer that she finally married Ji Wenyi for the benefit of her family.
However, their relationship became cold after marriage, and it was estimated that they never even held hands. One lived in the imperial city, and the other lived in the northern border forever, and they never had any contact with each other until they died.
In short, Su Lingzhen, as the only graduate of the Wuqing Dao in the world of cultivation, is a very heroic sister.
Now this sister is robbing people on the road.
Fortunately, they were very polite. Ye Xiaoman was wearing a veil, so no matter how curious they were, they did not pull off her veil to see her true face.
Ye Xiaoman clutched the pendant against her chest and cried, "I don't have any money."
Su Lingzhen directly took out the frost grass stuck in her hair and said, "Use it to pay off the debt."
Only then did Ye Xiaoman realize that Su Ling was really eyeing her spiritual herbs.
In order to play the role of the weak little white lotus, she found a bunch of magical herbs that would bloom white flowers from her storage bag and pinned them on her hair as an ornament.
The Frost Face Grass was given to her by a client as a reward when she was helping someone repair spiritual herbs. Its properties do not match her physique and she would be of no use if she just left it there. If Su Ling really wants it, just give it to her.
Su Lingzhen frowned when she saw Ye Xiaoman looking pitiful. She casually pulled out a gold hairpin from her head and put it back in its original place as compensation.
After she got the treasure, she stood aside contentedly and watched, no longer paying attention to what was happening around her.
Su Nian cleaned up the mess for her sister.
She had an arrogant and domineering appearance, but a gentle personality. She apologized gently, "My sister is a martial arts fanatic and has never understood the ways of the world since she was young. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
He then explained, "My sister has a congenital Xuanyin body, and the Frost Face Grass is very beneficial to her cultivation. However, it is a precious spiritual herb that is hard to come by. In recent years, my family has been unable to purchase it from many places."
"That's why my sister acted so inappropriately just now."
After she finished speaking, she quickly grabbed a handful of gold leaves from her sleeve and stuffed them into Ye Xiaoman's hand. Feeling that it was not enough, she added the hairpin she had just made.
"Are you willing to sell it? If not, I'll have my sister return it to you."
When Su Lingzhen heard Su Nian wanted her to return it, she just glanced at Su Nian and could see that she was being strictly controlled by her sister.
Ye Xiaoman found their interaction very amusing. After weighing the gold, she smiled and said, "The price you offered is far beyond my expectation. I'll sell it to you."
Su Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Xiaoman picked up the hairpin that Su Nian gave her and looked at it. It was a beautiful hairpin inlaid with gold beads. The petals were as thin as a cicada's wing, and the craftsmanship was quite exquisite.
"You did it?"
