Xue Zhiyi's words made Lu Minchun narrow her eyes: "Niece, please don't say the wrong thing."
He really hated Xue Zhentong for threatening him with his son Lu Yan's life.
He didn't want to give up his youngest son, but he also didn't want to risk the lives and future of his entire family. So, he, who was already wavering between Prince Gong and Prince Cheng, decisively chose to side with Prince Cheng.
It was at this time that he realized that the idiot Xue Zhentong didn't even know when his illegitimate son joined Prince Sheng's army.
In this way, the person who really holds Lu Yan's life in his hands is not Xue Zhentong, but Xue Tingliu and King Cheng.
Prince Cheng wants him to cooperate with Xue Tingliu and pretend to agree to Xue Zhentong's request, but actually use this matter to set up a trap. Afterwards, Lu Yan will naturally be safe, and Xue Zhentong will be in trouble.
But...how could a little girl know about his plan?!
Compared to his shock, Xue Zhiyi was extremely calm. She said softly, "I understand, uncle, you don't believe me. I overheard the news of Lu Yan's death and your collaboration with Xue Tingliu when I was at home. If you don't believe me, you can go and verify whether Lu Yan is still alive."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Lu Minchun's voice was a little hoarse because of excitement.
Xue Zhiyi simply said slowly, "Uncle, you should know that the Xue family's legitimate and illegitimate branches are at loggerheads with each other. That's why Xue Tingliu wanted to use you to destroy my eldest brother. I told you all this on my own initiative. What other purpose could I have? I simply wanted to protect my brother. Besides that, I also hope that you can help me fight back against Xue Tingliu."
Having just learned of the loss of his beloved son, Lu Minchun clenched his fists on the table and shook violently: "Why?"
"The Rong family has a grudge against your uncle for killing his son." Xue Zhiyi smiled slightly: "Uncle, don't you want to avenge Lu Yan?"
Lu Minchun remained silent.
By this time, he had already boarded Prince Cheng's pirate ship. If he turned against him and defected to Prince Gong, it would be too late. On the one hand, he had offended Prince Cheng, and on the other hand, he had no bigger tree to protect him. He could only wait for death.
Unexpectedly, Xue Zhiyi revealed what he was thinking: "This is your chance to choose your side again, uncle. I hope you won't miss it."
"You..." Lu Minchun was stunned: "Prince Gong also knows?!"
Xue Zhiyi smiled but said nothing.
Lu Minchun felt a chill all over his body... No wonder everyone was wondering why Prince Gong would choose such an ordinary woman as his princess. Now it seems that this woman is too terrifying. Perhaps one day, she will become an important force in Prince Gong's fight for the throne.
Xue Zhiyi smiled and said, "Your Highness hopes that your uncle will choose the right tree to inhabit and not hurt Your Highness's feelings."
Seeing Lu Minchun lost in thought, Xue Zhiyi stood up and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing your uncle from listening to the music today. I'll take my leave now. Please make a decision soon. I have the leverage you need to bring down the Rong family and avenge Lu Yan. It all depends on your decision."
After saying that, she turned and left in the frightened gazes of Qiuyun Suyue, Yan Gui and the other two.
After leaving, Xue Zhiyi said to Yan Gui, "Tell the Marquis of Lin'an what happened today. I have been away for a long time today, so I will not see him. Thank you."
…
To avoid being seen by the Xue family, they did not take the carriage today.
Walking on the road, Qiuyun and Suyue were hesitant to speak. After walking for a long time and returning to Jiangxuexuan, Suyue covered her chest and did not dare to speak loudly: "Oh my God, my hands are shaking..."
Qiuyun also asked her, "Miss, are you involved in any trouble?"
Xue Zhiyi just smiled comfortingly: "Don't be so surprised, you will get used to it in the future."
"In the future?!" Su Yue was shocked: "Miss, will you still do these things in the future?!"
Xue Zhiyi didn't answer, but just lazily lay down on the chaise longue: "You guys should take a break too, you've really exhausted me today."
She asked them to close the door so that she could close her eyes and rest for a while, but she fell asleep without realizing it.
When I woke up again, it was already dusk.
The evening light shone through the window lattice onto her face, making her feel as if time was blurry.
Xue Zhiyi rubbed his head. He had slept for a long time during the day and his body felt weak and uncomfortable.
She seemed to be dreaming of someone, that person came from her past life's memories, some scattered and broken fragments, with a blurry face and figure.
But she didn't know whether she was still asleep or what, she seemed to see the vague figure in her dream...
There was no light in the room at this time. She only saw a man in red sitting at a table not far away, with his head tilted and looking in her direction.
Immediately, the tiredness in Xue Zhiyi's eyes disappeared, and he sat up with a start.
But then he heard that person laugh: "Awake? Xue Zhiyi."
Blinking, she saw the person in front of her clearly and laughed in anger: "Lin'an Hou is so elegant, coming here uninvited. He must have done so many things to get into other people's houses that he must be very good at it."
Perhaps because he had just woken up and was not fully conscious yet, Xue Zhiyi couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction with Huo Wuyou.
What kind of good man would dare to intrude into a girl's boudoir like this? It's unheard of.
Xue Zhiyi usually seems respectful and polite, but in fact he is weird. At this moment, he rarely hides his emotions, like a cat slave with its fur standing on end.
Huo Wuyou felt that Xue Zhiyi was extremely interesting at the moment. He ignored the scolding he had just received and sat down next to the chaise longue. "Don't be angry, I came to see you because of something very important. I didn't expect you to be sleeping so soundly in broad daylight. I am not the kind of rude person who would disturb someone's sleep, so I had to follow the example of Master Cheng, standing in the snow. How considerate!"
“…”
So shameless.
