"If you don't fight with Xie Yu'an today and don't waste your time, the lead today will be yours. Do you know what you did? You ruined our carefully planned plan for several months." Jiang Huaiyan said rudely.
"In addition to the marriage, if you come out on top, the position of deputy general of the fifth military camp will be yours." Jiang Huaiyan hated that iron could not make steel.
With the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Five Military Camps, Jiang Huairu would have to be afraid of him even if he had the support of the Xie family.
But now, a good game of chess is all in chaos.
Jiang Huaiyan was suffocating and had nowhere to vent his anger. Looking at Lu Jinzhi's silent look, he became even more exhausted.
"Lu Jinzhi, you have been really abnormal these past two days. What on earth do you want to do!" Jiang Huaiyan shouted sternly.
Lu Jinzhi seemed to have finally come to his senses, raised his head and said firmly: "I want to marry Qiao Yin!"
"What?" Jiang Huaiyan felt like a thunder exploded in his head, and his mind was buzzing.
"I don't want to marry Yan Ruyu, I want to marry Qiao Yin."
Lu Jinzhi rubbed his neck and repeated again, his eyes filled with anger and jealousy.
Just now he ran over excitedly to say a few words to Qiao Yin, but Qiao Yin didn't see her at all and ran happily to find Xie Yu'an.
"Lu Jinzhi, are you mentally ill? You don't want the prime minister's daughter, but you want to marry Qiao Yin?" Jiang Huaiyan looked at him in disbelief, his face already stained with anger.
"Please wake up. Haven't you always looked down on Qiao Yin? Why are you so crazy? The prime minister can only win over you, not offend him!"
Lu Jinzhi turned to look at Jiang Huaiyan, feeling an inexplicable resentment rising in his heart.
"The third prince wants to win over the prime minister so much, why not do it himself, divorce the third prince's concubine, and then marry the prime minister's daughter?" Lu Jinzhi said angrily.
He didn't know what he wanted before, so he did what they said.
He liked reading, but hated horseback riding and archery, and had no talent. However, in order to bring glory to his aunt and help his cousin, he practiced hard every day. He had blood blisters on his hands, so he continued to practice with blood.
But now that he knows what he wants, why can't he fight for what he likes?
Jiang Huaiyan was choked by his words and was about to get angry, but seeing Lu Jinzhi's angry eyes gnawing at him, he knew that Lu Jinzhi was really angry, so he had to slow down his voice.
"You and I are of the same blood, and we are both prosperous. Marriage with the prime minister is helpful to me, and why not to you?"
"The current Jing'an Marquis Mansion can also help you." Lu Jinzhi said coldly: "You have nothing to lose by marrying Qiao Yin."
If it were before, Qiao Yin would naturally be incomparable to Yan Ruyu. But today is different.
Looking at the emperor's rewards for the Qiao family, we know that the emperor is full of love and trust, and the Qiao family will definitely become the emperor's confidants.
Jiang Huaiyan was shaken, weighed it carefully, raised his head and asked, "But you saw with your own eyes just now how intimate Qiao Yin and Xie Yu'an were. Are you sure you can bring Qiao Yin back?"
The image of the two people hugging each other appeared in Lu Jinzhi's mind, and there was an unspeakable sourness in his heart.
"I do, wait and see, I will make Qiao Yin realize Xie Yuan's true face!"
…
Qiao Yin and Xie Yuan went to the leather-making department. When they came out, it was already dusk, and the torches in the camp area were already lit.
Occasionally there were people coming and going, and it was not easy for the two of them to ride together. Xie Yu'an let Qiao Yin sit on the horse, and he held the reins and walked slowly in front.
Qiao Yin liked this kind of quiet time together. She relaxed completely and couldn't help but ask: "Do you still remember the question I left for you? Do you have a clue?"
She had asked him for the correct answer once, but he hadn't said a word about it, and she didn't know if he still remembered it.
Xie Yuan looked back at her, "What, do you want to give me some tips?"
Qiao Yin snorted coldly: "I'm not as stingy as you, and I'd love to give you some tips. Tell me, what tips do you want?"
Xie Yu'an thought for a moment and said, "Does your hometown have many things that are not available here? For example, that special calculation you wrote at Yingtian Academy."
Qiao Yin was shocked, and a voice in his heart said: He really guessed it! !
Her thoughts suddenly became entangled. She was looking forward to getting to know Xie Yu'an. She expected that the process of exchanging information with Xie Yu'an would be interesting, but she was also a little scared. After all, her identity was too incredible for him.
Xie Yu'an saw her confusion and said warmly: "Don't worry, this is a secret between you and me. I won't tell the third person." He was not willing to share their secret with anyone.
Xie Yuan's voice was full of countless feelings of security. Qiao Yin looked at him and nodded slowly towards him.
Xie Yuan was very satisfied and contented.
So what if Lu Jinzhi had occupied her for four years? Her secret was not only told to him!
Qiao Yin also felt that his whole person suddenly became enlightened and relaxed a lot.
It turns out that it is so pleasant to have someone to share secrets with. She hoped that one day, she could also tell him her second secret.
They walked to the camp area, and more and more people passed by. The passers-by had different expressions, but their eyes fell on Qiao Yin intentionally or unintentionally, and some of them started whispering directly.
Qiao Yin's expression remained normal, but she couldn't help but think of what those people had said about her last night.
I don’t blame those people for talking about it, the gap between them is really too big.
No matter how powerful the Qiao family becomes, in the eyes of the world, she is still far from worthy of the young master of the Xie family.
Xie Yuan sent her back to the camp and helped her off the horse.
"There will be the bonfire you are looking forward to tonight. Dress warmly and I will roast rabbit for you."
"Okay! Then I'll change my clothes and go find you."
Qiao Yin and Xie Yuan separated and returned to the camp in high spirits. Princess Ning Yao was nowhere to be seen in the tent, and neither was Bizhu.
"Her Royal Highness is still in the imperial tent. Miss Bizhu was invited away by the servant next to Vice General Qiao. He said that there was something missing and asked Miss Bizhu to go and have a look." The maid who stayed behind at the tent replied.
Qiao Yin nodded to show his understanding, then returned to the cubicle and changed into thick clothes, adding a snow-green cloak.
While cleaning up, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"Miss Qiao Er, my eldest son, please come over and have a chat." Zhuye stood outside the tent and said respectfully.
Qiao Yin was stunned for a moment, and said directly without thinking: "Go back and tell your heir apparent that we have nothing to say between us and ask him to respect himself."
Self-respect?
Zhuye felt his face was burning, and he blushed for the heir apparent of his family.
In the past, the most common thing the prince said to Qiao Yin was: please respect yourself.
Unexpectedly, these words could still be applied to the prince today!
Zhuye waited outside the tent for a long time, but when he saw that there was no movement inside, and after confirming that Qiao Yin really did not see Lu Jinzhi, he turned around and ran back to recover in despair.
In the camp, Qiao Yin continued to clean himself up, not taking this matter to heart at all, and fully looking forward to tonight's campfire appointment with Xie Yu'an.
Just as they finished cleaning up, an unfamiliar maid came in in a panic and shouted: "Miss Qiao, go and see, Vice General Qiao got into a fight after drinking."
"What? Where?"
Qiao Yin was startled, put down the things in her hands, and followed the maid out of the tent quickly.
"How come there's a fight?"
"I don't know, but I heard a few people talking about you, Miss Qiao. For some reason, Lieutenant General Qiao rushed over and started fighting with them."
The maid said she had a nose and eyes. Qiao Yin did not doubt that he was there, and followed her quickly into a tent with an anxious look on her face...
