Chapter 286

☆★☆★☆★

Lin Jue left the yard and leaned down dejectedly against the yard wall, his eyebrows full of despair and despair.

He was still too useless. He once said that he would give her happiness and that he would not let anyone hurt her, but in the end, he was himself!

He knew in his heart that although she showed calmness on her face, her heart must be covered in blood.

As stubborn as she chooses to accept, that is, she chooses to give up.

She wants to give up their relationship for more than three years.

And he was powerless.

Lin Jue tried hard to recall what happened that night, but his mind was blank.

He had been drunk, but there was almost no such thing as this when he had no impression at all.

He always felt that something was wrong here.

But what is specific is unknown.

"Brother." At this time, a voice suddenly came from the front.

Lin Jue raised his head and found that it was Lin Zhaoyan.

He smiled, "Zhaoer, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Zhaoyan stared at him and said word by word: "Brother, you can't agree to this marriage."

Seeing her expression serious and serious, Lin Jue knew that she was telling the truth, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "What can I do if I don't agree? Now the situation is no longer under my control."

How could he not see what grandmother and mother mean?

"Everything is done by man." Lin Zhaoyan said, "I am very sure that the child in Qin Yuxue's belly is definitely not the eldest brother. Therefore, as long as we have the evidence, we will definitely be able to promote this marriage."

Lin Jue looked at her in surprise.

Lin Zhaoyan nodded confidently.

"You, how did you make sure?" Lin Jue was very surprised. How could Zhaoer, an outsider, be so sure of something that even the person involved could not figure out?

Lin Zhaoyan was inconvenient to tell him that reason. He could only say: "Because Zhao'er believes that the eldest brother is definitely not that kind of person. Even if he is drunk, the eldest brother will never betray his eldest sister-in-law." As he said that, he paused and spoke again in Lin Jue's complicated expression. "Zhao'er believes that the eldest sister-in-law must believe in the eldest brother. The reason why she agreed to this marriage was just for the sake of his eldest brother's career. The eldest sister-in-law always had the eldest brother in his heart, so the eldest brother must not misunderstand the eldest sister-in-law. It is necessary for the husband and wife to work together to make a profit and cut off the gold."

After listening to it, Lin Jue couldn't speak for a long time.

He claimed to be smart, but no little girl could see through it.

Lin Zhaoyan knew that he had been moved by Lin Jue's expression. In fact, she never worried that she could not speak because her elder brother and sister-in-law were in harmony. It was just that the authorities were confused by this matter. As long as someone mentioned a few words, they could figure it out after calming down.

The most important thing between husband and wife is to work together.

After pondering for a while, Lin Jue lowered his voice and said, "But it is not that easy to find out the truth. Even if I don't recognize it, it is a foregone conclusion that I and Qin Yuxue have been to the inn. If the quarrel starts, the people from Zhennanbo Mansion will definitely testify with the inn. At that time, the matter will turn into the result that my grandmother said. Killing one thousand enemies like this is really not worth it..."

"So we have to do it secretly, silently, and not be known to anyone." Lin Zhaoyan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "And, after we have obtained the evidence, we cannot go directly to Zhennanbo Mansion to settle accounts, but to find the Queen Mother, seize the initiative, put himself in the position of the victim, and let the Queen Mother decide for us."

Lin Jue couldn't help but look at Lin Zhaoyan. Unexpectedly, this fourth sister who was silent on weekdays was so meticulous, which was really impressive.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Jue nodded vigorously, "I will also ask your sister-in-law to explain it clearly and talk to her clearly. We must face my fault, her fault."

Zhao'er is right, the most important thing is that the couple is united. If both of them start to distrust each other, then even without Qin Yuxue, there will be the next Wang Yuxue and Lan Yuxue...

They must face themselves.

Lin Zhaoyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and showed a shallow smile to Lin Jue.

After watching Lin Jue leave, Lin Zhaoyan also returned to the yard by himself.

She was considering who to ask for help.

Behind Qin Yuxue's affairs is Zhennan Bo Mansion. It is not that simple to find out the truth. Lin Jue's strength alone will definitely not work. She must help him secretly.

But her connections are all Lu Yanzhi's people. Lu Yanzhi is Qin Yuxue's cousin, and she told her last time that he was definitely on Qin Yuxue's side, so it's not feasible to rely on him.

As for the second prince, he would help her, but she didn't want to owe him any favors.

Xiao Qi said nothing even more.

So, who else?

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night is quiet. A black shadow quietly crosses the high wall, then jumps up to the roof, and walks over quickly and lightly on the roof tiles, and finally flashes into a room with lights and candles.

"You are here." A cold voice slowly rang out in a corner of the room.

"I'm here." The black shadow responded and walked forward a few steps. His eyebrows and eyes gradually became clear under the candle. It was Xu Xiujin.

The man sitting in front of him with his back facing the candlelight was Xiao Qi.

He heard Xu Xiujin's voice and slowly turned around. His delicate face was filled with emotion, which was so indifferent that it made people feel chill.

"Has the matter been found out?" He raised his hand and signaled Xu Xiujin to sit down opposite him.

Xu Xiujin walked over, raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't find out that I came over late at night, are you going to sleep with you?"

Xiao Qi raised his eyes, glanced at him lightly, and said nothing.

Xu Xiujin laughed and sat down, "I heard you hurt the Fourth Princess? The Second Prince is checking you everywhere!"

Xiao Qi curled up the corners of his lips and said confidently: "He can't find it."

"Of course I know he can't find it, he doesn't even nod at the moment." Xu Xiujin suddenly stepped forward and smirked, "But what I'm more curious about is, what do you do suddenly with the Fourth Princess? No, I'm going to do with..."

"Mu Qing." Xiao Qi interrupted him mercilessly, "You are talking too much nonsense, hurry up and get to the point!"

Xu Xiujin shrugged, not in a hurry at all, "I advise you not to have a love affair with your children."

Xiao Qi frowned and said coldly: "You don't need to ask about my personal affairs. In short, I will not let your efforts over the years be in vain."

Xu Xiujin sighed, "You know I didn't mean that."

Xiao Qi didn't say anything, but his gloomy face revealed his unhappy mood at the moment.

Xu Xiujin naturally knew that he should not provoke him anymore, so he had to say, "Okay, okay, I said, I'll say that."

Xiao Qi's expression calmed down a little.

"But let me have a cup of tea first." Xu Xiujin was more and more eager, and even leaned forward to get the tea cup that Xiao Qi placed in front of him.

Xiao Qi held him down, "I'll pour you another cup."

Xu Xiujin rolled his eyes, "Poverty and particularity, who can be with us?"

Xiao Qi ignored him at all and soon took out a new cup to make tea for him.

"I don't know who can help you get rid of this bad habit." Xu Xiujin took the tea and muttered.

He knew that Xiao Qi had always rejected being too close to others, which was mainly due to his childhood experience. He actually hoped that someone could let him completely let go of his guard and get close to and trust him wholeheartedly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi paused his hand, but he soon recovered as before, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and tell serious things!"

"Okay, okay." Xu Xiujin drank the tea and his expression became solemn, and finally began to get to the point.

"Your father and Xi Nanbo have a private deal." Xu Xiujin said this in a concise manner.

Xiao Qi frowned and instantly understood what he meant, "You mean, my father has successfully won over the West Nanbo?"

Xu Xiujin nodded, "Yes."

Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment and said, "Can Chen Zhongling be healed?"

"Smart!" Xu Xiujin looked at him with appreciation, "So, marrying Chen Zhongling will no longer become a bad thing, but a good thing."

"So... Princess Xiao doesn't want me to take advantage of this, so she will make Xiao Ming better?" Xiao Qi continued indifferently. Although the clouds on his face were calm and windy, there was a surging anger in his eyes.

At first, marrying Chen Zhongling was just a decoration, and maybe even a spy, so Prince Xiao was unwilling to do so.

Now, marrying Chen Zhongling has become a bargaining factor in stabilizing the relationship with Southwest Bo, and Prince Xiao is naturally very happy.

Perhaps for Prince Xiao, consolidating his power is the most important thing. He doesn't care which son marry Chen Zhongling at all. But for Prince Xiao, he won't let him get any benefits.

She couldn't wait to push Xiao Ming out, a large part of the reason was that she wanted to show it to Nanxi Bo, right?

She wanted Xi Nanbo to know that Xiao Ming was truly worthy of support.

"Also, I found out that there is another deal between Nanbo and your father. After he ascended the throne, he would directly kill Chen Zhongling and let Nanbo's daughter marry again."

Marrying Chen Zhongling is just a springboard because it will not cause doubt, but she is just a niece after all, and when things are done, she will have to be sacrificed.

"And I found something." Xu Xiujin stepped forward again and said mysteriously: "Don't Princess Xiao have a fixed time every year to go to Lingyun Temple to burn incense and pray for Xiao Ming?"

"Yes." Xiao Qi sneered, "She has always loved Xiao Ming like his life."

"You are very wrong." Xu Xiujin quickly denied him and said solemnly: "She went to Lingyun Temple to pray for blessings was simply a cover, because Xiao Ming was unable to recover from it. In this way, she could conceal Xiao Ming's shocking genius learning and not let the emperor be afraid. Second, she could use the matter of burning incense and praying for blessings to facilitate her transactions with others and plan major events."

Xiao Qi looked at him in disbelief.

Princess Xiao’s feelings for Xiao Ming have been obvious to all over the years, but it turns out that they are all fake?
