Lu Yan raised his eyes and asked in shock, "What do you mean?"
Shan Wu was afraid of scaring the other person, so he forced out a smile that he thought was friendly, but was actually a bit ferocious.
"Master Lu and the young lady will become a family when they get married, so there is no need to be polite!"
Lu Yan: "No reward for no merit, so it's better not to do it."
From what he knew about Miss Lin... she had always taken money very seriously, not to mention having the temperament to suffer losses.
Now that he has received so much money from charity, he is afraid that there is a sinkhole waiting for him to jump out of.
Shan Wu could not tolerate rejection: "Yes! Let's leave first. My lady will come to visit me another day. Young Master, just wait at home!"
Lu Yan: "..."
After the people left, the surroundings became quiet again.
He looked at the things in the yard and frowned.
The way Lin Xi and her guards did things was a bit like a bandit leader forcibly hiring a girl from a good family.
The two have only met a few times. Does she take marriage seriously?
The slaves on Zhuangzi had already been greeted by the Lu family and told to treat Lu Yan as nothing if he came to live here.
Don't take any care of yourself.
Originally they planned to make a joke, but they didn't expect that several fierce and strong men came the next day and brought so many things.
The person in charge of Zhuangzi was shocked and sent someone to deliver a message to Lin Mansion.
——
Lin Xi has been running around the mountain with Feng Ye in the past few days.
It's good to sleep in the Duke's Mansion, and it's fun to have fun in the mountains.
When she came, she packed several sets of close-fitting dark clothes, which were very convenient for hunting and fishing.
Yesterday, Lin Xi discovered a small waterfall in the back mountain and a pool under the waterfall.
Today I took people to play by the waterfall.
Zhao Zhi was very disdainful, Lin Xi did not have the slightest bit of ladylike demeanor...
She is indeed a village girl who has been living abroad for many years and grew up in the countryside!
Seeing that the little prince became more and more distant from her in the past two days, but he was very close to her.
Zhao Zhi was unwilling to give up, so he followed him today.
Lin Xi walked to the water's edge, pulled up the two ropes next to it, and raised the bamboo cage from the bottom of the pool.
"I saw that there seemed to be turtles here. I lowered two cages yesterday and it turned out to be fruitful."
There are five turtles in the cage, and one is golden yellow, very beautiful in the sun.
Texue covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm afraid that all the turtles under this waterfall will be caught by the young lady."
Lin Xi: "Today we will eat soft-shelled turtle, braised in red."
Zhao Zhi's eyes widened and he frowned and said, "You are too cruel. The Queen Mother is cultivating Buddhism in Baiyun Temple. Please release these turtles quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked over quickly, pretending to come to get the bamboo cage.
Lin Xi hid the bamboo cage behind his back and got it with great effort.
I'm afraid this person is crazy.
She smiled and said, "You can release the ones you catch yourself, but the ones I catch usually contain ginger."
"Why are you like this!" Zhao Zhi said with a look of hatred on his face, "All things have spirits! You will get retribution for this! Little Prince, look at how cruel she is, let's go back."
Feng Ye took a step back, dodged her hand, and said in a sweet voice: "But Lin Xi said that turtle is delicious, and the meat is fragrant and elastic."
Zhao Zhi: "..."
"Yes, it's super delicious." Lin Xi turned to look at Miss Zhao: "Mosquitoes also have spirits. You don't need to use a handkerchief to keep them away."
Texue added at the right time: "Yes, Miss Zhao also killed several mosquitoes. It's a sin."
Zhao Zhi: "..."
She was so angry that she fainted. Who are these people?
Zhao Zhi must dominate the little prince today, so Lin Xi went with her.
Now that she had time, she went down the mountain alone.
It had been three days, and Lu Yan should have thought clearly that if hesitation changed, it would be better for them to settle their marriage as soon as possible.
Lin Xi and Shan Wu met and, under the guidance of the other party, visited Zhuangzi where Lu Yan lived.
Lu Yan was mentally prepared and was not too surprised when he saw the person. He said in a calm voice: "Miss Lin, it's better to change your mind as soon as possible. Don't waste time with me."
Lin Xi sat down opposite him: "Why don't you want to? I'm not ugly and I'm quite rich."
The female supporting character in the book is as good looking as the heroine, but she has low self-esteem and is timid. She keeps her head down and doesn't speak all the time. She is far inferior to the free and easy and generous heroine, which is why she is compared to fish eyes, making people look down upon her.
But she doesn’t feel inferior! At most, they are envious of other people's wealth.
She is rich and beautiful now, how could she not be worthy of it? Do you want this man to see that he still has a dagger in his sleeve... and that he is very powerful?
Forget it, this is still inappropriate.
A deal must be concluded willingly by both parties in order for it to last.
Lin Xi reminded: "You have no money, you are suppressed by the Lu family everywhere, and Princess Pingning is only banned for three months."
Lu Yan: "Don't worry, girl."
Lin Xi: "The prince and the two princes all want to win over my uncle through marriage. But I know you don't think so. Right now I need a husband who has nothing to do with the three forces."
Lu Yan was slightly surprised: "The girl is really honest."
"There's no harm in getting married, it's a benefit to me. Getting married can also help you and break through difficulties. It's beneficial to both of you."
After a pause, Lin Xi added, "We can agree that we will divorce if it's not right after three years, and it won't prevent you from staying together with the one you love."
Three years later, Emperor Zhou died and the court was shaken. She would probably take her whole family away from the center of the whirlpool.
Naturally, the marriage was abandoned.
Lu Yan had always thought this proposal was ridiculous, but now he was inevitably moved.
After all, win-win cooperation is more secure.
It is indeed inconvenient for him to be watched by the Lu family all the time... If he can use the influence of the British public, it will be of great help to him if he has a plan.
If you can't, you won't lose anything.
Although this girl is not easy to get along with.
The two people looked at each other across the flickering candlelight.
In the silence, there was an unusual movement outside.
The two people stood up together and walked towards the window in unison.
In the courtyard, Shan Wu mingled with the masked man in black. The light of swords and shadows of swords, the wind blowing with murderous intent.
Lin Xi watched the exchanges between you and said calmly: "Someone wants your life."
Lu Yan was slightly startled: "The Lu family does not have such a hard hand."
"Did I bring it? I'm really sorry." Although she said this, her smiling eyes showed no apology at all.
Although Lin Xi left the capital, countless people were watching her secretly.
Both the Crown Prince and Prince Duan were afraid that she would deviate from their plans and would not use her for their own purposes.
They found out that Lin Xi met Lu Yan in private and sent someone to deliver something, so they were inevitably anxious and couldn't sit still.
To nip it in the bud, as long as one party is killed, the marriage will naturally fall through.
Lin Xi sighed inwardly, look, as long as she doesn't get married, those people won't let it go.
She is more determined to marry a smart shield home.
Although the killer who came today was good at martial arts, he did not expect that there was a master lurking in the courtyard.
In less than a stick of incense, four corpses were lying on the ground.
After another incense stick, the body disappeared, leaving only puddles of water stains.
Even the few blood stains were washed away cleanly, as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xi turned around, smiled and said, "You are all implicated. If you don't get married to me, there will be no benefit at all. Isn't this a great loss?"
Lu Yan nodded: "You are right. Naturally, I can't just take the bad side."
He had already wavered just now, and now he has made up his mind.
Lin Xi: "Very good. I heard that your grandmother has been in good spirits these past two days. You can ask her to come forward and propose marriage on your behalf."
Lu Yan: "Thank you very much, Miss Lin, for thinking about me."
"The nineteenth of this month is a good day. I will wait for Lu Lang at my house. My uncle should have returned to the capital by then."
"Okay, I will definitely come as promised."
Lin Xi got the other party's approval and stood up to say goodbye when the sun was about to set.
After Shan Wu disposed of the body, he came back to report to her.
The two of them were walking side by side on the road, and he couldn't help but say: "I checked on Mr. Lu, and the doctor said that he will not live long."
Lin Xi: "It doesn't matter. His short life is his fault, and it won't do any harm to me."
Being sick and coughing up blood must mean that he is not very well at all.
However, if she becomes a widow, she can block those plots in the short term and have no impact on her.
Shan Wu looked hesitant, lowered his gaze and said: "...Princess Pingning knew that he would not live long, so she said similar things, and said that she should take advantage of the heat."
"Is that so? Then my future husband will really attract bees and butterflies." After a pause, Lin Xi said with a smile: "At least he is willing to follow me, and we are happy with each other."
