No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 112 Trading and Betrayal (Part [-])

Of course not enough!

Even Shen Lingxiang knew that for Luo Jinyan, this little clue was definitely not enough.

That person has already been watched by Luo Jinyan, and it is easy to catch him.

Luo Jinyan was a little impatient, tapped the table with his slender fingers and said, "Cousin, since you have come to see me, don't waste our mutual time."

With such ruthless words and expressions, even though Shen Lingxiang had been prepared, he was still a little startled.

After a while, she took a deep breath and said, "I do know a secret. The person I went to find today should, should, maybe not be from the Central Plains."

Luo Jinyan reminded in a cold voice with no expression on his face: "You said before that you don't know his identity, so it's not a good thing to retract a confession casually."

Shen Lingxiang hurriedly said: "I didn't lie to you! I really don't know who they are! But... I have known him for almost three years. When he suddenly appeared and said he could help me, I didn't believe it at all. But later... he always He will help me solve some small problems, and I gradually believed it. It’s just that he doesn’t let me go to him often, and I’ve seen him less than ten times in the past three years. But... At the end of last year, I went out on business and watched him inadvertently. When I arrived at him, he was very conspicuous because he had a lame leg, so I recognized him at a glance. I was always a little worried about him. When I saw him, I felt a little strange, so I didn’t make a sound. He also said before that no one should know that we knew each other. I saw him talking to two foreigners, although I don’t know what they were talking about, but his foreign language is very fluent, not like he just learned it.”

"What foreign language?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.

Shen Lingxiang shook his head and said: "I don't understand the foreign language, but he is very respectful to those two foreigners. It must not be a chance to meet friends and chat. One of the foreigners... has black but curly hair, good-looking, cheekbones. There is a red pattern on the bone, this person...I saw him twice later in Shangyong City. He is the shopkeeper of a store in Nancheng that specializes in goods from the Western Regions."

"Which store?"

Shen Lingxiang said his name. It was a well-known shop in Shangyong City that exclusively sold treasures from the Western Regions.It is very popular with the noble ladies in the imperial city. It is said that the master behind the shop is the prince of Ning Wangfu.

When she said that, Luo Junyao also remembered.

She did have this shop and such a person in her memory.

Luo Jinyan stared at Shen Lingxiang, and said, "You know that he might be a spy from a foreign race, but you still dare to associate with him, you are quite courageous."

Shen Lingxiang bowed her head and said nothing. Although she didn't like that person, she always had a feeling that that person would not harm him.

Of course, she didn't feel guilty for betraying that person at this time, even if that person might have something to do with her mother.

Her mother obviously didn't want to see and hear about that man, didn't she?Since he has been targeted by Luo Jinyan, it's nothing she said, right?

"Big cousin, I know... I told you everything."

Luo Jinyan sized her up for a while, and after making sure she hadn't concealed anything, he nodded, "Go back."

"But, Xie Chengyou and I..." Shen Lingxiang said anxiously.

Luo Jinyan said: "I will suppress the matter for you temporarily. As for your marriage with Xie Chengyou, it depends on whether you have the ability to ask Xie Chengyou to come to propose marriage in person. If Prince Mu's residence comes to propose marriage, the Luo family will not refuse."

Shen Lingxiang's face was a little ugly, which was obviously not in line with her expectations.

Luo Jinyan said indifferently: "You don't think that you can make the Luo family protect you as the regent's daughter-in-law by providing this bit of information, right? You have earned money by temporarily suppressing this matter for you."

Shen Lingxiang heard the word "temporary" clearly, and he had a deeper understanding of Luo Jinyan's cruelty in his heart.

But now she was caught by someone, and she had something to ask for, and she had no other way.

Even if Luo Jinyan threatens her with this matter again in the future, she still has nothing to do.

Shen Lingxiang couldn't help but turn red eyes, with mixed feelings of grief and resentment in his heart.

"I see." Shen Lingxiang said in a low voice, at least... Luo Jinyan promised not to hinder her marriage with Xie Chengyou.As for getting Xie Chengyou to come to propose marriage...she will definitely find a way!

Watching Shen Lingxiang leave, Luo Junyao belatedly wondered if he should remind Shen Lingxiang: Girl, don't forget to take the contraceptive pill.

However, Shen Lingxiang probably doesn't need it.

"Brother, if Xie Chengyou came to propose marriage, would you really agree to their marriage?" Luo Junyao looked at Luo Jinyan and asked curiously.

Luo Jinyan glanced at her, "Do you think Xie Chengyou is willing to come to propose marriage?"

Luo Junyao thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "Should...no."

Based on Shen Lingxiang's current relationship with the Luo family, Xie Chengyou's marriage to her basically meant that he really only married such a person.Not only is there no other added benefit at all, because of the relationship between Luo Junyao and him before, no one would think that Xie Chengyou married Luo Yun's niece is really Luo Yun's niece and son-in-law.

They only felt that Xie Chengyou slapped the Luo family in the face, and those who didn't want to offend the Luo family would respect him and stay away.

Of course, it's not too far off now.

How could someone as ambitious as Xie Chengyou tolerate himself marrying such a regular wife?

Luo Jinyan said: "Shen Lingxiang overestimates herself too much. If she pushes Xie Chengyou hard, she doesn't know what will happen."

As for agreeing to Shen Lingxiang to suppress the news, those dudes were originally sent by the regent to get them there, so they would not talk nonsense without the regent's permission.

But if...the news leaked from Xie Yuan and Prince Mu's mansion, it's none of his business.

"What do you plan to do with that person in Yongping Lane?" Luo Junyao asked.

Luo Jinyan played with the pendant in his hand and said, "Catch it first."

"Huh?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "I thought Big Brother wanted to set a long line to catch big fish."

Luo Jinyan said: "The person who instigated Xie Chengyou behind his back doesn't know if he has anything to do with that person. If there is, those people may not know that such a big thing happened on Xie Chengyou's side. It would be unbeautiful if he ran away."

Luo Jun shook his head, "There is also that foreigner."

Luo Jinyan looked at his sister with a smile, and said, "Yao Yao is so smart, it can be seen that he is really sensible."

It was rare for Luo Junyao to feel embarrassed when he praised himself so seriously.

Calculated, her age in the previous life was actually only one year younger than Luo Jinyan.

Luo Jinyan stood up and said, "Brother still has things to do, shake off and rest early."

Luo Junyao waved his paw obediently, "Good night, brother."

Shen Lingxiang went back to the yard and casually dismissed Luo Shi before returning to his room.

Her current situation is extremely bad. She hates Luo Jinyan for being ruthless, but she doesn't know how to resist.

Now I can only pray that Luo Jinyan didn't lie to him, and that he can really suppress this matter.Then... She still has to find a way to get Xie Chengyou to agree to marry her.

Lying on the bed, Shen Lingxiang just felt weak all over, and wished that he would fall asleep and never wake up again.

Shen Lingxiang was uncomfortable, and Xie Chengyou was no better than her.

When something like this happened, Xie Chengyou didn't return to Prince Regent's Mansion immediately, but went to Prince Mu's Mansion with Xie Yuan.Then the two brothers and sisters knelt down outside King Mu's study until it got dark.

Xie Yuan's heart was full of grievances, she felt that she was really innocent.

She was invited to see Shen Lingxiang. This was an extremely common thing, and it was not unheard of before.Who knew that these two people would actually do such a messy thing in the restaurant?
Now her grandfather wants her to kneel down with her eldest brother, which is really too much.

Xie Yuan rubbed his knees indiscriminately, then looked at Xie Chengyou who was also kneeling aside with a gloomy expression, and swallowed back a few words that he wanted to say to him.

She, who was implicated innocently, is not unhappy yet, what is he doing with such a stinking face? !

"Eldest son, the prince invites you in. Second miss, you can go back." A middle-aged man came out of the study and said to the two respectfully.

Xie Yuan immediately supported the hand of the girl next to him and stood up, and didn't dare to say anything, and went back to the courtyard of the big house in despair.

Xie Chengyou stepped into the study, the atmosphere inside was scary and gloomy.

At this time, only King Mu and his father Xie Heng were in the study, "My grandson kowtowed to the ancestor..."

"Bang!" Before Xie Chengyou finished speaking, King Mu had already picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at him.

Xie Chengyou couldn't dodge in time, the teacup hit him on the shoulder.The brown tea had wet most of his light-colored brocade clothes, making him look very eye-catching.

Xie Chengyou didn't dare to say anything more, he could only lower his head and say, "Grandfather, grandson..."

King Mu snorted coldly, and said, "Chengyou, you have disappointed me so much."

This is not the first time King Mu said this, but Xie Chengyou has never been as frightened as he is now.

He fell to his knees with a plop, "Grandfather, my grandson knows I'm wrong! Please help my grandson!"

King Mu sneered and said, "I've said it before, that person named Shen is a disaster, and you want to get entangled with her, are you happy now?"

Xie Chengyou said with some embarrassment: "Lingxiang, she is also..."

Mu Wang said: "Okay, tomorrow I will let your mother go to the Luo Mansion to propose a marriage and marry her as the main wife. Are you happy now? It just so happens that Xie Yan also wants you to join together, so that everyone is satisfied, and there is nothing wrong with it." it is good."

Xie Chengyou's face suddenly changed, he certainly knew what marrying Shen Lingxiang meant.

If love really comes first, as long as beauties don't have power, why did he plot against Luo Junyao in the first place?
"Grandfather! My grandson knows I'm wrong, please help my grandson one more time. Today is really an accident, it's...someone planned it! That Zheng Jingchuan, Xu Chengyu, and A Yuan suddenly appeared there, someone planned it! "

Xie Heng, who was standing on the side, also said good things for his son, "Father, Chengyou has always listened to your words the most, and will never deliberately go against your will. He knows that we are negotiating for him, how could he do that?" This kind of thing? I'm afraid it's..."

Xie Heng stopped talking halfway, but King Mu himself had figured out the rest.

Just before Xie Yan finished talking, he brought Shen Lingxiang and Xie Chengyou together, and the two of them had an accident in the evening. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Mu Wang's face was gloomy and he had already scolded that disobedient son thousands of times in his heart, but he still wanted to beat Xie Chengyou on his face.

"This king is old, how can I know what he thinks? Maybe he still dislikes me, an old man who cares a lot."

Xie Chengyou naturally kowtowed repeatedly to admit his mistake, expressing that he knew that his grandfather had put in so much effort, and he would never dare to be ignorant of good and bad.

Xie Chengyou, Xie Heng and his son talked kindly in front of King Mu for a long time, and King Mu's expression gradually eased down.

King Mu looked at Xie Chengyou and said: "In the evening, I have already sent someone to beat up those boys, and it shouldn't be too much trouble for a while. But there is no guarantee that they will not obey others, or spread it from other places. You Go back and tell Xie Yan in a while, let him send someone to Luo's house tomorrow, and bring that Shen Lingxiang back in a few days."

Speaking of this, King Mu sighed tiredly, "Originally, if you wanted to marry a real daughter of a noble family, you should clean yourself up. Now there is no other way, so you can only do this first. It's better than waiting for the news to spread and then rushing around." Be nice."

Taking Shen Lingxiang as a concubine was originally Xie Chengyou's original plan.

Hearing what King Mu said, he naturally agreed, but he was a little worried, "Father..."

King Mu said angrily: "He won't care about such trivial matters! Do you really think that he will come to propose marriage for you in person? Do you still want to make a big fuss about this scandal? Send a steward to tell the Luo family, and turn around quietly Just bring him back!"

Although Xie Chengyou felt that Shen Lingxiang was a little wronged, his doubts about Shen Lingxiang had not been eliminated in his heart, and he was somewhat displeased.

Therefore, he didn't say any more, just cupped his hands respectfully and said: "Yes, grandfather."

　Two couples with different ideas:
　　Shen Lingxiang: He really loves me, I must have a way to make him marry me.

　　Xie Chengyou: She really loves me and will definitely understand me.
