In the dead of night, Lu Yizhi knocked on the door of General Dingguo's Mansion with a box of silver notes.
The concierge led him to the side hall. Xie Yuan held the scissors in his hand, cut off a camellia branch with a click, and inserted it into the amphora vase on the table.
The greasy white porcelain, dark green leaves, and well-proportioned red camellias form a pleasing painting.
Who could have imagined that a great general who was so powerful on the battlefield could have such gentle flowers inserted into his hand holding a sword.
"Thank you, young master, one hundred thousand taels are here." Lu Yizhi took the initiative and said forward.
Xie Yu'an didn't look at him, his eyes always fell on the camellia in his hand, as if he was choosing some precious gift, concentrating on it.
Lu Yizhi didn't dare to disturb and stood quietly aside.
Xie Yu'an didn't keep him waiting for long. He quickly put down the scissors and said while admiring his work:
"Except for the member Zhao you know, I went to look at his house. I didn't find any decent jade in his house. However, the camellias in the yard were blooming well. I broke a few branches and brought them back."
Xie Yuan pointed to the vase of camellias on the table and asked, "Doesn't it look good?"
Lu Yizhi's pupils shrank and his face suddenly lost color. As if he was frightened, his fingers subconsciously tightened the money box in his arms.
Xie Yu'an raised his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yizhi coldly, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Master Lu, could you please tell me where you found the jade pendant?"
Lu Yizhi took a deep breath and seemed to finally calm down.
He knew that frankness was the best choice when talking to a smart person like Xie Yu'an.
"I found Yu Chan a long time ago, but I just didn't have the chance to get to know the young master. It wasn't until a few days ago that Miss Qiao came to me with drawing paper, and she made a smooth favor."
Xie Yu Anding looked at Lu Yizhi with an indifferent expression, as if he was thinking about whether his words were true or false.
Lu Yizhi knew what Xie Yu'an was concerned about and said quickly: "I have no ill intentions towards Qiao Yin, I just want to use her hand to meet the young master. Yuchan is not my certificate of surrender. My certificate of surrender is for the upcoming autumn hunting. The third prince is planning to attack the prince on the Autumn Hunting."
Lu Yi's words were surprising, but Xie Yu'an was not surprised.
"What do you want? The position of the heir apparent of the Lu family?"
Lu Yizhi shook his head and sneered: "I want the entire Lu family to be destroyed and destroyed!"
His eyes were fierce, and every word seemed to be forced out of his throat through gritted teeth.
Xie Yuan was indifferent to his hatred and only warned him again in a deep voice:
"No matter what you want, I still say the same thing - stay away from Qiao Yin!"
…
The next day——
"Does it look good? Does it look good?"
Qiao Yin held up two newly made red strips to show to Bizhu.
Bi Zhu nodded and shook her head.
"You are good-looking, but Miss, your face is not very good-looking. You haven't slept all night, and the dark circles under your eyes can't be covered by even the powder."
Qiao Yin leaned closer to the bronze mirror. The person in the bronze mirror had a beautiful face, but her complexion was a little pale, and there was a faint crow green under her eyes. It didn't affect her beauty, but it added just the right amount of vulnerability.
I feel pity for the weak willow supporting the wind.
"Whatever you want to cover up, this is the effect I want. Xie Yu'an later saw me making things for him even though I was sick, and he was so moved that he was still unmoved." Qiao Yin said proudly.
Bizhu curled her lips and couldn't help but pour a ladle of cold water.
"Miss, are you sure General Xie will find out? The first time you learned how to do incision, you did it for two days and two nights. Your eyes were so red that Lu Jinzhi didn't even see it. And it was your first time making incense. He didn't even notice that your fingers were poked like a hornet's nest, and he thought your work didn't look good, so he threw it to the boy."
Qiao Yin wished she could sew Bi Zhu's mouth shut with a needle, "Xie Yu'an is different. If you don't believe me, you'll see later!"
Qiao Yin ignored Bizhu, took a piece of red string and tied it on the jade pendant given by Xie Yu'an, and then hung it around his waist.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard.
Qiao Yin put down her things and walked to the door of the room, only to see a bright red camellia being carried in.
The flower pot is as tall as a person, and the tree is full of red flowers. The flowers are in clusters and have a fragrant fragrance.
They all look delightful.
Qiao Yin was surprised and said: How did Xie Yuan know that she liked camellias?
Just as he was wondering, a pretty figure emerged from behind the camellia.
"I heard that you were sick, so I came here to see you."
Xue Wanran waved her handkerchief and walked up quickly.
"What's your expression? Are you unhappy to see me?"
"Haha, no, no, I'm very happy." Qiao Yin quickly smiled and pointed to the flower path outside: "This flower?"
Xue Wanran explained: "I remember you said before that you like camellias the most. I went out this morning and saw the flowers in our academy blooming, so I chose the best one and sent it to you. Am I interesting?"
Not only was it interesting, Qiao Yin even felt a little moved.
"You actually know my preferences?"
Xue Wanran smiled awkwardly, "Last time, when you and Yan Ruyu were fighting for velvet flowers, you were actually quite pitiful. There were so many of them, and they were not expensive things. Aren't we all just trying to find something new? Lu Jinzhi would rather give Yan Ruyu a reward. None of the servants are willing to give it to you."
Okay, here's another mouth that needs to be sewn shut!
Qiao Yin didn't want to continue this topic, so she got up to pour tea for Xue Wanran, but Xue Wanran became filled with indignation and followed her in a chatter.
"I've heard everything. Lu Jinzhi deliberately threw your things into the lake, and also confused right and wrong and said that you were seeking death because of your failed courtship. Why is he so shameless? How despicable!"
It turned out that the visit to her was a lie, but I thought the gossip was true.
Qiao Yin said: "Lu Jinzhi probably didn't do it."
Xue Wanran looked at her in astonishment: "After all, you still speak for him. Do you still like him?"
"I'm not speaking for him, I'm just seeking truth from facts. Lu Jinzhi is arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't bother to use this method. It's probably the work of the Duke's office." Qiao Yin said impartially.
Xue Wanran has known Lu Jinzhi for a longer time. After thinking about it carefully, wasn't the reason why she fell in love with Lu Jinzhi in the first place just because of Lu Jinzhi's noble and unruly aura?
"Qiao Yin, I really admire you now and your magnanimity. Lu Jinzhi treats you like that, and you can still evaluate him so impartially. I couldn't do it if it were me."
Xue Wanran's eyes showed admiration, while Qiao Yin felt inexplicably guilty and embarrassed.
Lu Jinzhi was cold-hearted towards her because he didn't like her. And why she is so calm now, isn't it because she doesn't love her?
After all, she chose to please Lu Jinzhi for the mission and to survive, and it had nothing to do with Lu Jinzhi. Lu Jinzhi is free to refuse or accept, and he doesn't owe her anything.
There is only one person who owes her, and that is that dog system! ! !
If there were no errors in the system, she would have met Xie Yuan long ago...
As soon as Qiao Yin thought of Xie Yuan, from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the blue figure coming in from outside the courtyard gate, and a handful of red camellias in his arms...
