Chapter 20 Purpose
The night was getting deeper, remembering what Murong Jun said last night, Lin Yingxue waited for Di'er to leave, got up and lit the candle again, put on her coat and sat up.
The room was extremely silent, looking at the candle flame jumping in front of her, Lin Yingxue's thoughts gradually drifted away.
In her previous life, she and Murong Xun spent so much effort to bring down Murong Jun in one fell swoop, so she couldn't know much about Murong Jun, although she didn't know why Murong Jun would target her, but with her current situation and ability, she really didn't want to have too much to do with Murong Jun.
Just thinking about it, the faint candle flame in front of her suddenly beat violently, Lin Yingxue stretched out her hand to protect the candle, and at the same time raised her head to look at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, "The third prince is really true to his word, saying that he will come over every day, and he really came over." β
Lin Yingxue said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
However, Murong Jun didn't mind at all, and still sat down opposite Lin Yingxue with an uninhibited smile.
"I have always been the most trustworthy person, and Miss Lin will naturally understand my temperament after getting along with me for a long time in the future." As Murong Jun spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, as if he was the master of this room.
"Really?" Lin Yingxue was about to refute when she heard this, but she remembered the contact with the person in front of her in her previous life, and the person in front of her was indeed extraordinary in his means and principled in his actions, so when the words came to his mouth, she was forced to change his words, "As a royal family, the third prince is not good to stay in the imperial city, but he went to this small county town to play, and he did not live in the mansion carefully prepared by the magistrate, but lived in the Song family of this small family, I don't know if this is too contrary to the way people of the royal family act?" β
Lin Yingxue's tone was relaxed, and it sounded like a casual question during the conversation, but Murong Jun already had a trace of vigilance in his heart.
He put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at Lin Yingxue, although there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, there was not even a trace of emotion in his eyes, "Then the world has passed down the fifth miss of the Lin family to be a timid and cowardly straw bale waste, so why don't I act like Miss Lin these days?" β
Murong Jun stared at Lin Yingxue fixedly, his ink-colored eyes were like a deep pool, and it was unfathomable at a glance.
Although the matter of rebirth is too unbelievable, ordinary people will not easily believe it, but looking at Murong Jun's scrutinizing gaze, Lin Yingxue still felt a little weak inexplicably.
She lowered her eyelids, picked up the cup on the table and drank half a glass of water, and after her mood gradually calmed down, she slowly spoke again: "As the saying goes, if a rabbit is forced to be in a hurry, it will still bite people, let alone people?" In the face of such a difficult situation, wouldn't the third prince allow others to make some changes? β
Lin Yingxue said easily, but there was a hint of chill in her tone.
Murong Jun thought of Lin Yingxue's situation, and a faint sympathy drifted through his heart, so he didn't dwell on this topic, but changed his relaxed tone and said: "Miss Lin is right, people will always change, for example, the changes in Miss Lin right now are very much my liking." β
There was a bright smile in the peach blossom eyes of the person in front of him who fascinated everyone, and even Lin Yingxue felt that she was used to seeing beautiful men, and her heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster at this time.
"I'm cold-hearted, I'm not the kind of person who will be confused by beauty, the third prince should not use the trick of flirting with others on me." Lin Yingxue sat upright, but her simple and elegant face had a calmness that was very inconsistent with her age.
Although Murong Jun is a few years older than Lin Yingxue, he is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in the final analysis.
"Well, that looks a lot cuter." As he spoke, Murong Jun involuntarily reached out and touched Lin Yingxue's head.
As if he knew that Lin Yingxue would definitely feel displeased, when Lin Yingxue turned his head and glared at him angrily with beautiful eyes, Murong Jun had already taken his hand back.
Seeing that the topic was gradually crooked, and she had deviated from her original expectations, Lin Yingxue was busy and straightened her complexion, and said in a cold tone: "The third prince doesn't have to deliberately change the topic here. I don't know if the Song family is stupid, but what I do know is that the three princes must not appear here for no reason, and I don't know what the three princes want to do. β
"But I have no grudges with the three princes in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future, so naturally it will not be an obstacle to the three princes' actions, so please raise your noble hand and stay away from me."
Otherwise, Murong Jun is always wandering around in front of her, and she doesn't dare to say anything about other people, as far as the jackals, tigers and leopards of the Song family are concerned, they will inevitably be jealous, and her situation will be even more difficult at that time, so at the moment, she just wants to get as far away from Murong Jun as possible.
After Lin Yingxue's words fell, the smile on Murong Jun's face obviously faded.
"You're smarter than I thought." Murong Jun picked up the teacup on the table and played with it, and his slender fingers made the ordinary white porcelain teacup look much more valuable.
Lin Yingxue raised her eyebrows, it was undeniable, after all, if she didn't have two brushes, how could she help Murong Xun win the throne in her previous life?
Murong Jun stared at Lin Yingxue's detached face for a long time, and finally put down the teacup in his hand and stood up awkwardly, "As you wish." β
After finishing speaking, Lin Yingxue's eyes flashed, and the breeze transmitted the warm voice from the wide open window, and when she looked closely, where was the shadow of Murong Jun in front of her?
Thinking of the words that Murong Jun threw down when he left, he thought that Murong Jun should not come to harass her again in the near future. Lin Yingxue breathed a long sigh of relief, and her tense body finally relaxed.
Tonight, she was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
After a good night's sleep, when she woke up the next morning, Lin Yingxue saw Di'er pouting her mouth with a sad face, and she didn't know if something unpleasant happened again.
"What? Is it difficult for the people of the Song family to be for you again? Lin Yingxue asked softly.
Xu felt aggrieved in his heart, and when Lin Yingxue asked softly at this time, Di'er couldn't help but redden, "Miss, the slave maid went to the kitchen to get breakfast for the young lady just now, but the people in the kitchen said that the slave maid was late and had nothing to eat, but the slave and maid clearly saw that the breakfast was not out of the pot yet!" β
"The slave and maid wanted to go up and argue with the cook, but the men in the kitchen forcibly drove the slave and maid out......" Di'er said this, and her voice was already filled with tears.
Seeing this, Lin Yingxue felt distressed for a while, she hurriedly stepped forward, patted Di'er's back gently, and asked softly: "If you don't have it, you won't be hungry if you don't eat a meal, those people didn't hurt you, right?" β
Seeing that Lin Yingxue had reached such a point, Di'er couldn't help biting her lower lip and shaking her head, "But all the jewelry that Miss can sell these days has been sold, and the little bit of broken silver left in our courtyard may not last for a few days......"
"It's okay, with your young lady here, I will never starve you." Lin Yingxue raised her head and looked in the direction of the main courtyard, her eyes were cold-presumably Murong Jun stood up and blatantly protected her that day, which still made the Song family jealous and hateful, afraid that blatantly cleaning her up would cause Murong Jun's displeasure, so she thought of this way to torture people behind her back.
It's just that they can't help but look down on her Lin Yingxue too much, do they really think that deducting her food and clothing can bring her down?
These people are too naΓ―ve!
"Miss Lin, someone is looking for you." Just thinking about it, there was a sudden impatient voice from Yahuan at the gate of the courtyard.
Lin Yingxue gathered her mind and looked up at the gate of the courtyard, and saw an acquaintance at a glance.
