Chapter 54: Provocation
"Xiao Yu, who is the man who just went in?"
Xia Liuying came out of the study and happened to bump into the subordinate who was about to go in to serve tea.
"That is our deputy pavilion master, the big and small affairs in the Lingxiao Pavilion, the pavilion master generally rarely cares, and the deputy pavilion master is presiding."
Xiao Yu deliberately increased the bite in the second half of the sentence, and everyone with long eyes could see that Xia Liuying was busy with his heart, and his heart was on their pavilion master, just for the position of the pavilion master's wife. Xiao Yu was very curious, if this Miss Xia knew that the real power in the pavilion was the deputy pavilion master, would she still bother to please Lin Zhan like she did now?
"What does it mean that they are all presided over by the deputy cabinet master?"
Xia Liuying didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Yu's words, Lin Zhan was the head of Lingxiao Pavilion, wasn't he?
"Our pavilion master is troublesome, all the things in the Lingxiao Pavilion are handled by the deputy pavilion master, our pavilion master's biggest hobby is to play around, eat, drink and have fun, this kind of thing that requires physical and mental strength, he has never liked to do."
"Oh, really?"
Xia Liuying's face changed slightly after hearing this, which meant that he was referring to Lin Zhan's title of pavilion master, but it was empty. Then her efforts these days have not been in vain.
What the? After she returned to the room, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, didn't she say that Lingxiao Pavilion was passed on to him by Grandpa Lin Zhan? How is it that there is another person in power.
Thinking of the Zhu Yang I saw in the study just now, five big and three coarse, unkempt, compared to him, Lin Zhan is completely like a son and brother of a big family who is ignorant of the world. In addition, Lin Zhan seemed to be afraid of Zhu Yang, could it be that Lin Zhan was coerced by him and forced to hand over power to him? In an instant, Xia Liuying felt that she had the truth.
If she can help Lin Zhan take Lingxiao Pavilion back from Zhu Yang's hands, it is not much better than her relying on her beauty to stay by Lin Zhan's side, and when the time comes, she will be able to gain a firm foothold in Lingxiao Pavilion completely.
Soft music slowly leaked from the panel on the bathroom wall, and Lin Zhan was lying comfortably in the bathtub soaking in the hot bath.
Suddenly, the door to his room was pushed open, and Xia Liuying sneaked in from the outside. The sound of music overshadowed the sound of the door opening, and Lin Zhan didn't find that there was one more person in his room.
The beige ceiling is hung with golden glass chandeliers, and a thick velvet blanket is spread on the floor, and the feet are loose and soft on it. The huge floor-to-ceiling window stood obliquely next to the bed, Xia Liuying walked to the window, opened the glass door, and there was a small balcony outside the window, leaning on the handrail by the balcony, the night of the entire manor was in full view. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhan is still a person who can enjoy it.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Zhan came out of the bathroom and looked at Xia Liuying who appeared in his room in surprise.
"Pavilion Master"
Lin Zhan had just finished taking a shower, his upper body was shirtless, and he only wore a bath towel around his waist, and the water droplets slid down on his white chest from the broken hair between his foreheads, Xia Liuying looked at the strong muscles on Lin Zhan's body, and her cheeks began to get hot.
Looking at the blush that gradually appeared on Xia Liuying's face, Lin Zhan seemed to realize something, and quickly took a nightgown from the wardrobe and wrapped himself up.
"Pavilion Master, as the Pavilion Master of Lingxiao Pavilion, you are infinitely beautiful in the eyes of outsiders, and I now know that we are all poor worms under the fence. Lingxiao Pavilion is the hard work of your grandfather for many years, and now it is in the hands of Zhu Yang, you must be very unwilling. Pavilion Master, if you want to take back Lingxiao Pavilion from Zhu Yang, I can help you. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
What is it, Lin Zhan was confused, what was this woman talking about?
Xia Liuying was confused by Lin Zhan's reaction: "Now that the power is gone, don't you want to take Ling Xiao Pavilion back from Zhu Yang's hands?" ”
"When did Lingxiao Pavilion become Zhu Yang's, why don't I know?" Lin Zhan asked, where did she hear these words?
"Pavilion Master, now that everything in the pavilion is controlled by Zhu Yang, doesn't this explain the problem?"
Xia Liuying was very anxious, why didn't Lin Zhan understand what she meant?
"You are too worried, Zhu Yang is not that kind of person, and I personally handed over the affairs in the cabinet to him to deal with."
"Pavilion Master, you must have a sense of distress. The reason why Zhu Yang still doesn't dare to cover the sky with one hand is to take into account the prestige of your ancestors, this person has the ambition of a wolf, and controls everything in the palm of his hand, maybe he will take his place that day, you have to have more eyes. ”
"No, I know him."
Lin Zhan said very firmly, he believed in Zhu Yang, and from the day he handed over the power of the cabinet to Zhu Yang, it meant that Zhu Yang was his most trusted person. It doesn't matter how long they've known each other, it's just that Zhu Yang is worthy of his trust.
He knew very well in his heart that he was not a person who could take care of the home. If Ling Xiao Pavilion hadn't been watched by Zhu Yang, maybe he would have been defeated a long time ago.
Besides, even if he really gave Ling Xiao Pavilion to Zhu Yang, he didn't have any opinion. He was very afraid of trouble, and he was lazy, so lazy that he didn't want to ask anything in the pavilion, and Zhu Yang could do it in a few minutes. That's right, Ling Xiao Pavilion is grandpa's brainchild. But instead of watching Ling Xiao Pavilion fall in his hands, wouldn't it be better to let Zhu Yang carry it forward?
"But the Pavilion Master..."
Xia Liuying wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Zhan.
"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, you can go out first, I'm going to rest."
Xia Liuying was so angry by Lin Zhan's indifferent attitude that she deserved to be ridden on her head by a subordinate. She took a deep breath and looked at Lin Zhan with a smile.
"Pavilion master, you have worked hard day and night during this time, and it is too lonely to sleep alone at night, or I will stay and accompany you."
"Wait" Lin Zhan suddenly stopped Xia Liuying, who was approaching him: "You came in with shoes?" ”
"Hmm!" Xia Liuying looked down at her shoes, the pink wool slippers on the lambskin soles, and there were two white feathers stuck to them, the girl's heart was bursting, is there any problem?
"Who let you in with your shoes on? Get the hell out of here. Lin Zhan suddenly changed his face and shouted loudly, causing Xia Liuying's body to shrink violently.
"Why are you still stunned, get out!"
Xia Liuying was stunned by Lin Zhan's roar, and hurriedly ran out of his room.
"I'm sorry"
Xia Liuying was red-eyed, lowered her head and rushed out of the room, and accidentally bumped into Zhu Yang who was standing at the door, she looked up at Zhu Yang's face blankly, this man is so handsome!
Zhu Yang went back to the room to trim up and shaved the rough stubble on his face, so Xia Liuying didn't recognize the handsome man in front of her for a while, it was the sloppy deputy pavilion master who was disgusted by her during the day.
"It's okay, be careful next time you walk."
Zhu Yang's smile felt very warm, Xia Liuying's heart was empty, and she hurriedly ran away from him.
Zhu Yang looked at Xia Liuying's back, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly retracted, and his eyes became sharp.
The door was hidden, and Zhu Yang listened to the conversation between the two, and this damn woman dared to provoke the relationship between him and Lin Zhan. The anger in his heart made him want to tear apart this woman who didn't know what to do.
Originally, he planned to 'entertain' Xia Liuying well, but in the end, Lin Zhan's wholehearted trust calmed him down, Zhu Yang smiled very happily, happy that Lin Zhan was willing to believe him. Let's just let this damn woman stumble a little more, maybe there will be other uses for it next.
Lin Zhan in the room was staring at the place where Xia Liuying had just stepped on, he had a serious cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, so clean that the bed sheets had to be changed once a day, he never wore shoes into the room, and the carpet in the room had to be changed at least every five days.
His room is not allowed to have any smell and dirt, except for the servants who clean every day, no outsiders are allowed to enter his room, so Xia Liuying, who didn't understand the situation, was completely disgusted by him.
Lin Zhan looked at his bed in embarrassment, and then looked down at the floor again, although he could bypass the place where Xia Liuying had stepped on from the left and right sides, and return to the bed, but he just didn't want to move, he didn't want to approach the place where Xia Liuying's shoes had stepped on.
"Lin Zhan, what's going on? Why did Miss Xia run out of your room crying. ”
Zhu Yang pretended that he hadn't heard anything, and the first thing he did when he entered the door was to take off his shoes, he knew that Lin Zhan had a habit of cleanliness, and he couldn't stand others soiling his room.
"She actually put on her shoes and came into my room."
Lin Zhan looked at Zhu Yang aggrieved and angry, and Zhu Yang was amused by his helpless little eyes.
"Miss Xia is new to here, so I don't know your habits, you gave her a lecture today, I believe she will definitely not dare to step into your room at will in the future."
Zhu Yang looked at the nightgown on Lin Zhan's body, a large patch of fair skin appeared on his chest, and his face immediately sank: "Why are you dressed like this to talk to her?" ”
Zhu Yang's words had a strong vinegar smell, he had never seen such a tempting Lin Zhan himself, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Xia Liuying, a woman.
"I just got out of the shower, and I don't wear a dressing gown or anything in my room."
Lin Zhan looked at his dressing gown and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his dress.
"You go back to bed and sit first, it's getting late, let's change the carpet tomorrow."
Zhu Yang saw that Lin Zhan's hair was still wet, so he took out a dry towel from the closet.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Yang turned around and found that Lin Zhan was still standing straight in place, not moving a bit. He followed Lin Zhan's line of sight and glanced at the carpet, knowing that it was the awkward energy in his heart that was doing trouble.
Zhu Yang walked to Lin Zhan's side without saying a word, picked him up by the waist, and then gently put him on the bed.
The moment Lin Zhan's butt sat on the bed, his heart finally became a lot more steady, if Zhu Yang didn't come, he was still worrying about how to get back to bed. So Lin Zhan didn't think that there was anything wrong with being hugged by a princess like another big man as a big man at all.
Zhu Yang picked up a dry towel and stood in front of the bed, gently helping Lin Zhan rub his wet hair: "Lin Zhan, is Miss Xia interesting to you!" ”
"Really? No way? ”
Lin Zhan remembered that Xia Liuying had said that he would stay with him at night, and suddenly felt like someone had been caught by someone for doing something wrong, and he was a little panicked in an instant.
"She cares about your affairs, everything, I guess she should like you, right?"
Zhu Yang looked at Lin Zhan's expression silently, and as long as he found that there was something wrong, he would immediately deal with the woman. So Xia Liuying, without knowing it, walked again before the ghost gate closed.
"How is it possible, she should be grateful to me for saving her, so she will try her best to repay the favor."
"So you don't like her, do you?"
"Of course, a little girl's family, how could I possibly like her." Lin Zhan blurted out without the slightest hesitation.
Zhu Yang was very satisfied with Lin Zhan's answer, the anxiety in his heart eased a lot, and the corners of his mouth showed a relieved smile. Xia Liuying looks good, and he likes Lin Zhan very much, he is afraid that Lin Zhan will be interesting to her.
"If you don't like her, remember to be tough, don't give her any chance to reverie, so as not to hurt others and delay her life's events, you know?"
"Well, got it, I'll pay more attention."
