Chapter 24: No Faith
"Do I have to obey His Royal Highness King Jin before I lose?" Liu Mengyan finally stopped, and when she looked back at Jin Ruyu, a smile had already changed to a smile on her face, but there was no sincerity in the smile.
"Your Royal Highness King Jin, with your ingenuity, don't you know that the more you pester me, the more you will hate you?"
"Make a bet with this king, as long as you listen to this king's explanation, you will definitely not be disgusted with this king again." Jin Ruyu put it another way, Liu Mengyan's prejudice against him is terrible, and it is really difficult to get Liu Mengyan to listen to herself.
"I don't dare to listen, His Royal Highness King Jin is so sure that it seems that I will be deceived as soon as I hear it. To stay awake, I'd rather not listen. ”
"Why can't you believe that what the king says is true? How has this king deceived you? Even though I never deceived you, I still can't make you believe this king? Jin Ruyu used to feel very close to Liu Mengyan, but those existed in the past, and the two of them were too far apart now.
"Never fooled me? It sounds even scarier. This kind of words made Liu Mengyan even more unbelievable. Even if Jin Ruyu really never deceived her, it was probably a strategy, and it was in order to gain her trust from the beginning, so he deliberately never lied to her.
"Actually, this king was not in Kyoto City at all a while ago, until that day in the Imperial Garden, it was this king who had just returned to Kyoto City......" Jin Ruyu saw that several requests were useless, so he simply began to explain directly, whether Liu Mengyan wanted to listen or not, he had to tell Liu Mengyan.
However, as soon as Jin Ruyu's words came out, he was interrupted by Liu Mengyan, "So the person who saved Miss Murong Qi before and secretly fell in love with her was not you, the person who destroyed my carriage was not you, and the person who wanted to expel me from the Yueyue Tower was not you, those are all pretending to be others, right?" ”
"Hmm." Jin Ruyu was still pleasantly surprised when she heard Liu Mengyan say this, but as soon as she met her increasingly cold gaze, her heart sank suddenly, and the situation became worse and worse.
"Even if I can continue to make up a statement, how credible can it be? His Royal Highness King Jin had just praised me for his intelligence, but now he deceived me with such a contempt for me. ”“
"What the hell is this king going to do, so that you believe that what this king says is true?!"
"His Royal Highness King Jin, I just want to ask, why are you so persistent? Don't say you like me, my nephew won't believe this reason. Even if you used to like me, but I've been so bad to you these days, how much I like it should be consumed by me. There are so many women who like His Highness, His Highness has a better choice, there is no need to hang himself on my crooked neck tree! ”
Liu Mengyan also once felt moved by Jin Ruyu, at the beginning, she was wary of him, but when he helped her. But that liking was really so shallow, just because Jin Ruyu's attitude changed, it immediately dissipated. Comparing the heart to the heart, Jin Ruyu is also a person, even if he really comes for the heart, he should die.
"Because the day you marry this king, this king will be glad for his persistence at this moment!" When answering this, Jin Ruyu's tone was firm, and such confidence made Liu Mengyan laugh again.
Why did he Jin Ruyu think that she would definitely marry him!
"I thought that His Royal Highness King Jin never looked at people squarely and was arrogant, but I didn't expect that there was actually something wrong. No wonder you want to bring a miracle doctor with you, it turns out to cure your brain. For such Jin Ruyu, Liu Mengyan really can't think of a better explanation than attributing him to illness.
Jin Ruyu's face was stunned for a moment, could it be more outrageous, he was actually said by Liu Mengyan to have a brain disease, which made him not know whether to be sad or laugh. Jiang Xue really deserves to be Jiang Xue.
But even if it is said that he has a brain disease, it is better than Liu Mengyan not wanting to listen to him. Liu Mengyan thought that this would make Jin Ruyu die, but he didn't know that Jin Ruyu saw hope because of this sentence, he felt that this was Liu Mengyan's attitude towards him had changed, and sooner or later he would be able to use his persistence to make Liu Mengyan change his mind.
After all, Liu Mengyan only blindly didn't believe him, and she didn't care what kind of person he was, but now she can still give him an evaluation, which is a great progress.
"This king's brain is very good, otherwise Doctor Chu will see if it is good for this king?" Jin Ruyu stretched out her hand at Liu Mengyan and exposed her wrist to Liu Mengyan.
Liu Mengyan opened his hand and said impatiently: "His Royal Highness King Jin is still as skilled as ever in misinterpreting other people's words. Although I should have been respectful to His Royal Highness King Jin as I was, His Royal Highness King Jin repeatedly forced him, so I said it bluntly, His Royal Highness King Jin's appearance beside me with a dead face made me feel very disliked, and I really wanted to never see His Royal Highness again. ”
"Can this king still see this kind of thing? If you want the king to stop bothering you, listen to what the king has to say. Jin Ruyu rarely had a smile on her face again, although Liu Mengyan's attitude was still bad, it was really milder than before, and his entanglement still worked.
"Don't listen! Chu Jiangliu, let's go! Liu Mengyan turned her head and took a step, as if there was a ghost chasing her behind her, and her steps were extremely fast.
Chu Jiangliu struggled to keep up with Liu Mengyan's steps, although he didn't say a word of nonsense, because there were indeed ghosts chasing after him.
Usually Jin Ruyu followed Liu Mengyan in the palace, and he would give up before Liu Mengyan left the palace, but this time he followed their sister and brother out of the palace.
"Go to the Taishi's Mansion." Liu Mengyan knew that Jin Ruyu was still there, but she really couldn't do anything about Jin Ruyu, it was useless to scold her, and she couldn't hurt Jin Ruyu's iron-clad face, so she could only ignore him.
The coachman listened to Liu Mengyan's order and drove the carriage slowly towards the Taishi's Mansion. Jin Ruyu's carriage followed slowly behind.
When the carriage stopped, Jin Ruyu got out of the carriage, and saw Liu Mengyan standing at the door of the Taishi Mansion and had not yet entered, suspected of waiting for him, no matter why he was waiting for him, Jin Ruyu subconsciously felt a little more good, hooked the corners of his mouth and walked towards Liu Mengyan.
Liu Mengyan is indeed waiting for Jin Ruyu, when she enters the Taishi Mansion, Jin Ruyu will definitely follow in shamelessly. Jin Ruyu doesn't care what place this is, Liu Mengyan is the cousin of the Taishi Mansion, so she can easily enter and exit, and Jin Ruyu, there is almost no place that he can't go to in this Heavenly Holy Dynasty.
After Jin Ruyu approached, Liu Mengyan couldn't help but put a mask on his face.
"What is this?" Jin Ruyu's voice was quite innocent, which meant that he was in a good mood.
Liu Mengyan didn't mean to forgive Jin Ruyu at all, any change in attitude was Jin Ruyu's wishful thinking, and Liu Mengyan didn't care what Jin Ruyu's mood was now.
"Towns, towns, your demonic spirits!" Liu Mengyan looked at the mask on Jin Ruyu's face, this mask was turned out of the carriage by her, probably bought back by Chu Linglong, it was a rather delicate mask, with a pale golden base and delicate lines, it was a mask that was very suitable for women, but it was not feminine at all on Jin Ruyu's face, and it had a natural and noble momentum.
"Demonic spirit?" Jin Ruyu was dazed, when he was covered by the mask, he only had time to look dark in front of him, and he didn't see what the mask looked like at all.
Only Liu Mengyan was not thrown out by him when he did this kind of thing, and if he was someone else, he was even dreaming of getting close to him, but he treated him differently, but the girl in front of him didn't notice it at all.
"I don't want your annoying tail to follow me in, and it will become the whole Taishi Mansion saluting you, carefully serving you, just because of your existence has become so restless. You say you're not demonic. Liu Mengyan said as she turned around and pulled the Chu River into the Taishi Mansion.
Jin Ruyu didn't refute, but she was quite happy that Liu Mengyan acquiesced to his following.
Also, Jin Ruyu, who was wearing a mask, was still a luminous body, unlike the guard Fang You who followed behind Liu Mengyan.
is also following behind, Fang You will never have a sense of existence, few people will pay attention to Fang You's existence, Jin Ruyu is watched by everyone wherever he goes, although this time there is a mask in it.
Anyone who sees the mysterious masked man breaking into the mansion will suspect his identity.
The subordinates of the Taishi Mansion had already gone in for Liu Mengyan to inform her arrival. The last time she came was when Mrs. Qiao was sick, and that time she came for Mrs. Qiao, but in the end it was unpleasant.
And this time, Old Madam Qiao had already left the Taishi Mansion, if it weren't for Murong Luoluo's jokes, she really didn't have much interest in coming to the Taishi Mansion.
The person who came out after the report was Jiang's, compared to Liu Mengyan's dislike of Taishi's Mansion, Jiang's was grateful and guilty to Liu Mengyan because of the last incident. “
"Jiang Xue, Jiang Liu, go in with your aunt, your sixth cousin was still talking about the two of you a few days ago." Jiang greeted him warmly.
The so-called sixth cousin naturally refers to Qiao Gusi, the son of the Jiang family.
Liu Mengyan doesn't like the Taishi Mansion, but she doesn't hate the Jiang family, the Jiang family is really good to their sister and brother, as for Qiao Gusi, although she is dead to Murong Luoluo, but just because Qiao Gusi didn't recognize Murong Luoluo's six relatives before, Liu Mengyan can't like Qiao Gusi.
"Who is this?" While pulling Liu Mengyan and Chu Jiangliu and her two siblings inside, Jiang asked Jin Ruyu behind Liu Mengyan.
When Jiang first came out, the first thing he noticed was really not Liu Mengyan and Chu Jiangliu, it was really this masked man who was too eye-catching, and he couldn't even see it.
"Guards." There is no need for Jin Ruyu to speak by herself, Liu Mengyan has already spoken.
She came to the Taishi Mansion today to wait to see Murong Luoluo's jokes, not to see how the Taishi Mansion entertained Jin Ruyu, and she couldn't let the people in the Taishi Mansion know that this masked man was the famous King Jin.
"Jiang Xue, where did you find the guard, dressed so luxuriously...... At first glance, he is a person who does not know how to work well. Jiang Shi approached Liu Mengyan and thought that he was speaking in a very small voice, but in fact, whether it was Chu Jiangliu or Jin Ruyu, they could hear it clearly.
The guard Jin Ruyu was very cooperative, and didn't say a word, Liu Mengyan said what it was. It was Chu Jiangliu, listening to his eldest aunt Jiang's evaluation of Jin Ruyu, he couldn't help laughing, didn't dare to make a sound, and shrugged his shoulders silently on the side.
"That's right." Liu Mengyan didn't want to talk to the Jiang family about whether Jin Ruyu was suitable for being a guard, so she just nodded and agreed to Jiang's statement.
"Speaking of which, there's a guard behind you. These two guards don't look like each other at all, where did you find them? Jiang couldn't help but be a little curious about this, the last time Liu Mengyan came to the Taishi Mansion, it seemed that there were no guards behind.
"Oh, picked it up on the road." Liu Mengyan replied perfunctorily.
"How dare you take it with you when you pick it up on the road, this one from an unknown source, what can you do if you do something unfavorable to you. The one without a mask is fine, at first glance it is a reliable one, and the one with a mask looks suspicious. Jiang Xue, you listen to your aunt's advice, you must not ask for such a guard! Jiang believed it and tried his best to persuade Liu Mengyan.
Liu Mengyan was too lazy to explain, but whenever Jiang Shi said, she just nodded.
Fang You in the back nodded silently, expressing his affirmation of the Jiang family, this woman is insightful, and it can be seen that he is more reliable than the flashy guy next to him.
Jin Ruyu turned his head and glanced at Fang You, who was also a guard, not very happy. In terms of martial arts, he is stronger than this inconspicuous little guard, in terms of strategy, his ability is known all over the court, and it is not enough to be a guard, where can he compare with this little guard.
Liu Mengyan was not interested in what the two guards behind her were thinking at the moment, only Chu Jiangliu looked behind her sister with interest. Although Chu Jiangliu and Liu Mengyan didn't like Jin Ruyu, they also had to admit that looking at the entire Tiansheng Dynasty, it was really his own sister who could play King Jin so much, and King Jin really loved his own sister, otherwise how could he be willing to be judged as a guard here.
However, because Jin Ruyu attracted the attention of the Jiang family, the Jiang family didn't even think of asking them about the intention of the Chu family sister and brother to come to the Taishi Mansion.
"Cousin Jiang Xue, cousin Jiang Liu." At this time, a male voice sounded not far away.
Liu Mengyan and Chu Jiangliu both looked up and followed the prestige, and saw Qiao Gusi, who was dressed in white brocade, walking towards this side, with a look of joy on his face.
After experiencing the same thing, the Qiao family and the Chu family's siblings obviously had completely different ideas. While the Chu family sisters and brothers were disappointed in the Qiao family, the Jiang family or Qiao Gusi changed their views on the Chu family sisters and brothers, especially Liu Mengyan, who was so grateful to Dade, this time they were really relatives.
"Sixth cousin." Although they didn't treat this cousin too well in their hearts, Liu Mengyan and Chu Jiangliu still called out politely.
"Why did you suddenly come to the Taishi Mansion today, is there anything wrong?" Jiang Shi didn't think of the question to ask, Qiao Gusi asked for her.
"Come and be a guest." Murong Luoluo's matter, Liu Mengyan planned not to talk about it first.
It's not that Liu Mengyan wants to surprise the Qiao family, but whether the Qiao family is happy to be apologized by Murong for Liu Mengyan's sake is hard to say. For this mother's maiden family, Liu Mengyan once had expectations, but she was disappointed, so that she couldn't do it to the Qiao family's desire to treat the relatives of Zuo Xiangfu.
She didn't have that confidence in the Qiao family, and she trusted that the Qiao family would support all her actions, only the people from the Zuo Xiangfu, her father, her brother, nephews, sisters, and aunts, who made her believe that no matter what she did, they would stand behind her.
"Guest? Look at what you kid said, Taishifu is also your and Jiangliu's home, how can you say that you are a guest when you come to Taishifu. Jiang reproached.
Jiang said Jiang's, Liu Mengyan listened to it, and she wouldn't take it seriously. She can't be in charge of the Chu family, let alone the Qiao family.
"Cousin Jiang Xue, who is this?" Like Jiang, Qiao Gusi also asked about the masked man Jin Ruyu.
Liu Mengyan was a little helpless, no matter who she was, she didn't forget to put her eyes on Jin Ruyu, Jin Ruyu was really a little annoying.
"It's just a guard, and when I go back today, I'll fire him, so my cousin doesn't have to ask more." Liu Mengyan replied perfunctorily.
Hearing Liu Mengyan say that Jin Ruyu was going to be fired, Jiang nodded approvingly, feeling that his own persuasion had an effect. As for Jin Ruyu, he couldn't see any expression while wearing a mask.
"Cousin Jiang Xue is really just here to be a guest? If it's nothing important, why don't you come and help me sharpen my ink? Qiao Gusi said very naturally, it seemed that he and Liu Mengyan were really close cousins, just like the previous thing that had a falling out for Murong Luoluo did not exist.
Qiao Gusi's heart is so big, she can treat the past things as inappropriate, but Liu Mengyan can't, if she wants to be familiar with this cousin, she feels twisted.
"Cousin, I can't do this thing, you know that I am free and stubborn, but I find it difficult to do anything elegant." Liu Mengyan refused.
Jin Ruyu listened to Liu Mengyan's words, and naturally remembered the painting that Liu Mengyan made when she was at Mrs. Li's birthday banquet. However, whether Liu Mengyan knows nothing about calligraphy and painting is still a mystery, and her lack of painting does not mean that she must not be able to draw well. “
"Cousin, is it because of what happened last time, you haven't forgiven your cousin?" Qiao Gusi is also a smart person in the end, and his face is silent, but he is still worried about whether he has left a very bad impression on Liu Mengyan by the previous incident.
Let's just say that this grinding ink, how can anyone not know, the rough maids in the house who don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting will, how can someone like Liu Mengyan not be.
Liu Mengyan wanted to reply with a "yes", but when she said it, it still violated her heart, "My cousin is too worried." It's just that this grinding ink also pays attention to the color of the grinding ink, I really can't, I'm afraid that my cousin won't dare to respond. ”
"My cousin can understand this, and he must have some experience in grinding ink. You're going to do my cousin a favor. Qiao Gusi winked at Liu Mengyan, a little flattering.
This cousin's skin is naturally good, how to say that before he went to the border, he was also a well-known romantic figure in Kyoto City, talented and good-looking. Such a beautiful action in the blink of an eye, done by Qiao Gusi, is the icing on the cake, which is very exciting.
