"No, it won't." Su Xiaoke suddenly smiled slightly, looked at Jin Muming and asked, "I still want to fight for it, after all, if I can't let go of me if I'm so good, maybe you'll agree to me?" β
Su Xiaoke is not a person who likes to compete, but in the face of a man who has gone through so many talents, she still wants to try to fight for it, at least so that even if they are really separated one day, she will not feel any regrets.
Jin Muming was originally extremely nervous, but when she heard Su Xiaoke say this, she suddenly got up and hugged the girl in front of her in her arms.
At that moment, when Su Xiaoke said that he would not still smile at him, Jin Muming always felt that thousands of flowers seemed to bloom in front of him, and he was overwhelmed by the beauty.
"I can't leave you right now." Jin Muming hugged Su Xiaoke tightly and said in a low voice: "Even if I recover all my memories, you are still in my heart, I can't get rid of it, do you say you did it on purpose?" β
"Yes, how could you possibly remember me if I didn't mean to?" Su Xiaoke couldn't help laughing when he heard Jin Muming's words, but he still patted him on the back before saying: "Jin Muming, what I just said is true, I am a small-minded person, and I can't accept that my man has other women around him, if you decide to stay by my side, then you have to be careful." β
"If someone says that to me, I will definitely think that maybe this woman is delusional." Jin Muming couldn't help pinching Su Xiaoke's nose, then kissed her forehead, and looked at her before speaking: "But I can't help it, I feel heartache when I think that I may never see you again in my life, and I may see you marry someone else." β
"You...... Promised? Su Xiaoke was a little surprised, speaking of which, she still thought that Jin Muming would probably have to think for a long time before she could give herself an answer, right?
"Don't forget, you are the prince, in case others say that you or the emperor wants to give you a marriage in the future......"
"Ke'er, you should have faith in me." Jin Muming touched Su Xiaoke's hair and said lightly: "What I don't want to do, no one can force me, no matter who is who, and I, with such an interesting girl as you in this life, is already a mercy of God, or rather, everything I encountered before seems to be just to meet you." β
If you want to say that she is not moved, Su Xiaoke feels that she must be bragging, because she will have been moved, okay?
Rao is that she knows that she and Jin Muming are in love now, and she can't fully believe many words, but she still can't help but be a fool in love at this time.
Since this person can guarantee her at this moment, then she is willing to gamble for this person.
Of course, Su Xiaoke's biggest confidence comes from herself.
Because she knows very well that her relationship with Jin Muming will only be evenly matched, she has her own future, and she will become an existence that many people look up to, at that time, no one will say that she is not worthy of Jin Muming.
Love, in addition to wishful thinking, has always been the wind and snow of the strong, and it is by no means the bitter hatred of the weak.
Only if you are equal in strength can you be qualified to talk about why you are standing by the other person's side.

"Father, how can you have time to eat with your daughter today?" Wang Xu looked at Wang Xianyi, who was sitting opposite him, and asked in some surprise, "Don't you have to go to the town to have a look?" β
"Haven't you and Helian read both of them?" Wang Xianyi said with a smile: "And I came this time to select what fish king, purely for fun, how can I still deal with official business every day?" β
"I knew that my father had no official business when he came to Qingshi Town, so it was better to bring my mother with me." Wang Xu said with some pity: "Mother rarely goes out on weekdays, and she must like such an interesting thing." β
"It's not so calm here, your mother has always been a lively person, and I'm worried that something will happen to her when she comes." Wang Xianyi waved his hand and said, "Let's let her stay in Chaozhou in peace!" β
"Why did my father say that?" When Wang Xu heard Wang Xianyi's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then frowned and asked, "Father, have you heard any news?" β
"The people of the Lu family came to Qingshi Town, do you think they are for this fish king competition?" Wang Xian waved his hand and motioned for all his subordinates to retreat, and then said lightly: "Xiaoxu, you won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that the Lu family is interested in this, right?" β
"Speaking of which, the night I had dinner with Xiaoyu and Man'er and Su Xiaoke, we also met the eldest young master of the Lu family." Wang Xu said thoughtfully: "If it's just to join in the fun, then Lu Xian really doesn't need to come over in person." β
"What has our Chaozhou been paying tribute to the imperial court, you should know, right?" Wang Xianyi looked at Wang Xu, smiled slightly and asked: "This is already March, and generally the local government will set tribute things in April, and then send them to the capital, for fear that the weather will get hotter and hotter, and some rare food will be spoiled, but we don't have this worry." β
"It can't be the Lu family's jadeite, right?" Wang Xu was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Xianyi mention this, and then asked with some surprise: "This is unlikely, right?" Didn't Lu Xian find several natural jadeite veins in the mountains before? β
"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." Wang Xian waved his hand and said lightly: "Two months ago, someone entered the Lu family's treasury and swept away all the jadeite. β
"Really?" When Wang Xu heard the news, he couldn't help but be taken aback, but then said: "Even if the treasury is gone, then you can mine it again, didn't the court say that the people can't mine jadeite?" β
"The key is that in order to avoid people's eyes, Lu Xian mined all the places he found and put them in the warehouse." Wang Xianyi values his daughter very much, so he didn't say anything at this time, but patiently explained: "So, now the Lu family has nothing." β
"Father means that Lu Xian came to Bluestone Town to continue looking for natural jade veins around?" Wang Xu put down his chopsticks and asked with some curiosity, "But why did they come in the name of the King of Fish Competition?" β
In fact, before the Lu family, no one knew the value of jadeite, and even if someone accidentally found natural jadeite in the mountains on weekdays, they would throw it to their children to play with.
But then the Lu family had a Lu Xian, who avoided the high-priced jade that had been accepted by the world, and specially invited skilled craftsmen to make some of the jadeite he accidentally found extremely exquisite, and soon became loved by those young ladies of the family.
It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Xian, who made a fortune from jadeite, would also be in trouble because of jadeite.
"Wang Qi is the person of the War King." Wang Xian stopped at one point, looked at the thoughtful Wang Xu and said: "Although the Lu family looks wavering, they don't like the prince, you should know that the prince was the most important thing in the life of the king of war." β
"The Lu family is suspicious of Wang Qi, right?" Wang Xu snorted coldly and said: "Obviously, they are worried that others will rob the jadeite business, so they will all open it out and put it in the warehouse, and now they are all served by people, and they start to be suspicious." β
"It's not just the Lu family's trouble now." Wang Xianyi said with a wry smile: "Don't forget, your father is the prefect of Chaozhou, if you can't get this year's tribute, then your father will also be subject to a certain amount of suspicion." β
"What does that father mean......" Wang Xu looked at Wang Xianyi with some surprise and said, "We helped the Lu family through this crisis?" β
"How is that possible?" Wang Xianyi snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, Mr. Guan was originally a matchmaker for the two families, but later what you found out, the Wang family could find other excuses to push off this marriage, but the Lu family actually ruined your reputation outside, do you think your father can bear this breath?" β
"Father, in fact, ......" Wang Xu didn't expect Wang Xianyi to protect himself so much, he couldn't help but be a little moved at the moment, and when he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Wang Xianyi waving his hand.
"Xiaoxu, you don't have to blame yourself for this, for your father, no career can compare to your and your mother's position in your father's heart." Wang Xianyi said seriously: "Therefore, my father will help Wang Qi deal with the Lu family this time, as long as something happens to the Lu family, then the court will naturally not pursue my father's failure to pay tribute." β
"Has the Lu family made it clear that they want to help the second prince?" Wang Xu couldn't help but look at Wang Xianyi with some surprise and asked, "But my father has always been impartial before, and now he suddenly wants to cooperate with Lord Wang, will he believe it?" β
"That's why the Father is telling you these things today." Wang Xianyi said calmly: "You have always had a good relationship with Wang Man, so if you tell her about it, she will naturally tell Wang Qi, Xiaoxu, not everything has to be said on the surface, some things, as long as they know each other, it is enough." β
Wang Xu wanted to know how Wang Xianyi was going to bring down the Lu family, but she knew her father's temper, and if he didn't want to say it, it would naturally not reveal half a point.
"Father, I came to Bluestone Town to meet a girl." Fang Cai's deliberation came to an end, and Wang Xu thought of something about Su Xiaoke, and said in a low voice at the moment: "That Miss Su has the prince's jade medal in her hand. β
"Are you sure?" Wang Xianyi's hand paused slightly, and then asked thoughtfully, "That girl also participates in this King of Fish Competition?" β
"Yes, she gave me a fish earlier, and I told the kitchen to make it for my father tonight." Wang Xu nodded and said, "Man'er told me privately that she was going to bet a thousand taels on Miss Su. β
The gambling house in Qingshi Town also set a bet because of the King of Fish Competition, and everyone can choose a person they think may win to bet, but Wang Man took the initiative to participate in the bet This matter is still very strange for Wang Xu.
"It seems that Wang Man is very sure of this Su Xiaoke?" Wang Xian thought for a while, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Xiao Xu, do you think Lu Xian will let Su Xiaoke go so easily?" β
