Chapter 177 Can You Be Serious?
Chapter 177 Can You Be Serious?
"Anyway, now that I have said this, it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
After saying that, Lin Acai left the yard and went to the small kitchen to prepare dinner with Yu Jie.
"Girl, I really can't understand. Obviously, your relationship with the prince has improved, but why do you still let yourself live in this small courtyard? Obviously, the vacant large courtyard over there is more comfortable to live in. Girl, I am really curious about why you do this?"
While picking vegetables, the royal sister looked at her girl and finally couldn't help asking a soul-searching question.
Lin Acai smiled and said, "Sister Yu, haven't you ever thought that my courtyard is only separated from the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion by a wall? If I really live there, it will definitely be a lot of inconveniences, and the wedding day will not be grand enough. After all, there is only a wall between us, and the wedding procession will line up directly from the door of my house to the back door of the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion."
and many more......
Lin Acai suddenly felt that something seemed wrong. She had heard the conversation between the young man and Bai Jing.
Bai Jing said in person that there were men in black setting an ambush on the way to the wedding. If they had just married from next door to the next door, wouldn't they have avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble on the wedding day?
Thinking of this, Lin Acai suddenly asked, "Is the prince back?"
Yujie thought for a moment and said, "What's wrong, young lady? Bai Jing and the prince went to the general's mansion. They said there were important things that needed to be verified. Bai Jing said that if they could find out quickly, they should be back before dinner."
While the two were talking in the small kitchen, the sound of horses neighing suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard.
"Girl, could it be that the prince and his men have returned?"
Lin Acai stood up and went to the door.
Xiao Jue, who had a gloomy face, suddenly disappeared when he saw the young woman coming out to greet him. He strode forward with open arms.
"Acai, why can't you wait for me anymore and start going out to greet me?" The joking words seemed to come out of his mouth.
Lin Acai bit her lips deliberately in shame and anger, and reminded: "Can you be a little serious, so many people are watching you. Oh, I have something important to discuss with you, come in quickly with me."
"Acai, what's the urgent matter? Are you thinking about that again..."
"Shame on you, why do you keep talking about this?"
In just a moment, Lin Acai's little face turned red with anger, but Xiao Jue smiled when he saw this. He grabbed Lin Acai's hand, pulled her to his side, and took advantage of her unpreparedness to suddenly pick up the little woman sideways.
Lin Acai waved her little fists and pounded the man's chest hard, but she never expected that the more she pounded, the more excited the man holding her became. He even slowly moved his face closer to the shy little face, wanting to get a kiss.
As expected, after a while, the man threw the woman onto the bed in the inner room with a mighty stride.
"Xiao Changxiu! Stop it, I really have something important to tell you, can you please stop thinking about that kind of thing when you see me?"
Lin Acai hurriedly sat up from the bed and called out Xiao Jue's name.
"What did you call me?" Xiao Jue's hand, which was taking off his coat, suddenly paused. He was very surprised. This was the first time that this woman called him by his full name so blatantly.
It was obvious that this little woman was really anxious.
"Xiao Changxiu! Why do you want to punish me for calling your name?"
Lin Acai actually knew that in this world where husbands are the most important thing, she was actually violating a taboo by calling her husband's name so recklessly.
However, the man seemed to have compromised and had no intention of pursuing the matter.
"It doesn't matter. As long as Ah Cai is willing, it doesn't matter what you call her.
You just said you had something important to discuss with me, what is it?"
In a short time, Xiao Jue's eyes suddenly became more serious. Lin Acai looked at those peach blossom eyes and suddenly said faintly, "Why don't we move back to Jingyuan Marquis' place? If we get married there, won't we be able to save ourselves a lot of unnecessary trouble?"
Xiao Jue chuckled when he heard this: "Acai, is this what you want to say?"
Lin Acai nodded, expressing her confusion: "Isn't this important? Didn't the black-clothed men plan to deploy more than 30 people on the road where we will welcome the bride? If our two families live next door to each other, then they won't be able to deploy these people at all."
"A Cai, why do you have such an idea? Haven't you ever thought that if that happens, the deployment of the men in black will be concentrated in the Marquis' Mansion, and we will be in great danger. After all, it is not so easy to catch them all in one fell swoop."
Lin Acai was stunned on the spot.
It took her a while to recover from the shock; she really hadn't thought of this.
Then we...
"A Cai, I know you are worried about this matter, but you don't have to worry. Your little brother is on hand to take care of everything. I have secretly arranged all the places where those men in black might hide. We have people nearby. As long as they make a move, our people will be able to respond in time."
Xiao Jue was right. In the past two days, Bai Jing had secretly hidden their people according to the marks he made on the Kyoto geomancy map.
Moreover, there were new moves from the Jinyiwei. Four more ministers on the list were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice after their homes were confiscated by the emperor's imperial edict.
Among the list of people who were brought down this time was Guan Yueshan, the former censor of the Ministry of Justice.
The newly appointed Censor of the Ministry of Justice was none other than his mortal enemy Wang Qijian. The two had been at odds with each other for many years. Now, Guan Yueshan was completely in Wang Qijian's hands.
There is no need to worry at all. He has been harboring resentment towards the Queen's party for many years. I'm afraid that even without them taking any action, this man will be able to squeeze a lot of useful information out of Guan Yueshan.
However, recently, Nanny Zhang has started a hunger strike and refuses to eat or drink. I had originally wanted to let the maid go before the Emperor to personally correct the vicious Queen, but I didn't expect that she would cause such a scene at this time.
Lin Acai seemed to have noticed Xiao Jue's thoughts: "Brother, why do you have other thoughts?"
Xiao Jue was about to shake her head, but Lin Acai suddenly turned her head towards her, "Brother, please look into my eyes and don't hide anything from me, okay? Since I am going to be your wife, I have the right and obligation to share your burdens and face the difficulties and obstacles ahead with you."
Xiao Jue was very moved, and he grabbed Lin Acai's hand from his face, "Acai... Nanny Zhang has been threatening to go on a hunger strike these past two days. She must have thought she was going to die. I was thinking of using her..."
Without waiting for the rest of the words to be finished, Lin Acai looked at the man in front of her and suggested, "Can I meet her and have a good talk with her? Maybe I can convince her."
Xiao Jue: "Acai, you...really can do it."
"Hmm..." Lin Acai nodded decisively.
