son, don't mess around

Chapter 453 Meeting at the Inn
late at night.

Autumn leaves town.

A carriage slowly stopped outside the inn.

A young lady jumped down from the carriage. She was wearing a brocade skirt, and had a natural beauty, bright eyes, and sparkling light.

Behind her, there followed a cold girl, wearing a plain dress and holding a sword in her arms. There was no expression on her slightly tense face, and she was looking around coldly.

It was late at night and the streets of the town were pitch black. Most people had already gone to bed, except for a few places where there were still a few sparks of light.

The inn was brightly lit.

However, there was no sound in the hall any more. The waiter had gone to some corner to peek in. Not far away, behind the counter, the innkeeper was dozing off.

It was not until he heard the faint sound of a carriage outside the door that he raised his head slightly. Another guest?

Although the town is not big, there are always travelers passing by from the south and the north. In the middle of the night, foreign travelers can only stay in his inn.

Sure enough, not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Then, two figures stepped into the inn.

The shopkeeper looked up, and the next second, his expression was stunned, as if a little surprised, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Two women with extremely beautiful looks and amazing temperament appeared in his sight.

She has a stunning appearance and good temperament, and even the clothes she wears show that she is either rich or noble.

Obviously, he is not from an ordinary family.

More importantly...they look exactly the same!
Although their outfits and temperaments are completely different, their looks are exactly the same.

Twin sisters!

In the middle of the night, a pair of twins suddenly came to the inn. The innkeeper couldn't help but gasp, his eyes were filled with astonishment!
So surprised!

As the innkeeper, he had seen many people in the past few years. But he had never seen such young and beautiful twin sisters appear in such a place!
Aren’t such stunningly beautiful women usually treasures kept in the deep courtyards of powerful nobles?

This late at night?
Aren’t they afraid of being unsafe for two women to go out alone?

How many people in the world are coveting this?

The shopkeeper was shocked, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the girl in plain clothes behind him.

He looked cold and cold, with a sword in his arms!

Are you here to wander the world?

The shopkeeper had seen a lot of things, after a brief moment of daze, he quickly came to his senses and stood up: "Ladies, do you want to stop by or stay overnight?"

"Stay at the hotel."

Jinxiu, who was wearing a skirt, said softly, "I want three clean rooms and some food, which will be delivered to the rooms later."

"Three rooms?"

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned. Two people want three rooms?

However, the shopkeeper soon realized something, glanced at the carriage outside the door, and nodded: "Okay, wait a moment, sir, I'll be ready!"

Let's not talk about why two such beautiful women appeared here at this late hour. Since they appeared, it means they are not ordinary people. The shopkeeper did not dare to slack off and quickly got up to find the lazy waiter in the back to work.

There was silence in the hall.

"Finally I can get a good night's rest!"

After the shopkeeper left, Jinxiu stretched lazily, a trace of fatigue on her face: "I am almost exhausted these two days."

As Jinxiu spoke, she rubbed her waist with her hand and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so boring to be on the road!"

An Ning, holding a sword, stood quietly aside, not saying a word, just looking around.

"what happened?"

Jinxiu noticed her gaze and asked in confusion.

An Ning withdrew her gaze and shook her head with her cold little face.

"It's boring!"

Seeing this, Jinxiu curled her lips and said, "You only know how to learn from the princess. How boring!"

Jinxiu couldn't help but sigh.

It's fine that her princess has a cold temper, but An Ning also follows her example. She was really annoyed on the journey, how could she stand two taciturn people?

"If I had known, I would have let you follow the princess by yourself!"

Jinxiu curled her lips, as if she had thought of something, and said with some regret: "I should have gone with His Highness."

Hearing this, An Ning seemed slightly stunned and looked up at her.

"It's a pity that he ran too fast..."

Jinxiu's tone was a little regretful.

Three days ago, the affairs in the palace were settled, and the princess took her and An Ning on the journey to Linzhou. It was also three days ago that she learned the news that the Jiang Mansion was deserted.

Old Mr. Jiang in Jiangnan is seriously ill, so the Jiang family leaves the capital and returns to Jiangnan.

I heard that Lin Jiangnian also went there.

However, this has not been confirmed.

It is unknown whether he really went to Jiangnan or changed his route halfway.

In short, Lin Jiangnian seemed to have disappeared, concealed his whereabouts, and no one had seen him since.

This made Jinxiu feel somewhat regretful...that guy ran too fast!

If she had known that it was boring to follow An Ning, such a taciturn person, she might as well have followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

We are going to the Prince Lin's Mansion anyway, and it might be more interesting to be with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

An Ning said nothing and looked at her expressionlessly.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

Jinxiu glanced at her, as if she had thought of something, and looked her up and down with a vigilant look: "Are you thinking about him?"

An Ning said expressionlessly: "It's you who misses her."

"I didn't."

Jinxiu denied it.

Why would she want to be the Crown Prince?

She was just worried that her only sister's soul would be seduced away by the Prince Lin.

This silly girl is stupid and dumb, and easily deceived. If I, as her elder sister, don't keep a close eye on her, she might be sold and even help the Prince of Lin to count the money.

Fortunately, there is still a month's journey to the Linwang Mansion. Within this month, she has to find a way to instill some ideas in An Ning.

We must not let her take the bait!

Be careful of the Prince Lin!

Jinxiu made up her mind secretly.

An Ning ignored Jinxiu, turned around and walked out of the inn, and returned to the carriage outside the inn.

At the same time, the innkeeper also came back.

"Girl, the room has been cleaned. It's on the third floor."

"The waiter will deliver the food to your room later."

Upon hearing this, Jinxiu nodded slightly, took the room number handed to her by the shopkeeper, turned around and walked outside the inn.

"Princess, the room is ready!"

Jinxiu appeared beside the carriage outside the door and reported in a low voice.

"Ah."

A cold voice was heard from inside the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, Li Piaomiao, dressed in white, slowly walked down from the carriage.

She always seemed to be wearing the same long white dress, with a cool temperament and a chill covering her whole body, which made people feel intimidated.

Jinxiu glanced at her own princess and felt inexplicably worried.

The coldness in the princess' body...seems to be unable to be suppressed and is breaking out again!
Several days have passed since the last time Prince Lin helped the princess "cure her illness".

Jinxiu knew that the princess had originally planned to go back with the Prince of Lin, and that she could get treatment on the way.

But unexpectedly, Lin Jiangnian suddenly disappeared without a word, leaving without saying goodbye. In order to hide his whereabouts, the guy didn't let anyone know his whereabouts.

As a result, the princess had to go to Linzhou alone this time. Everything else was fine, but the coldness in the princess' body recurred, causing her to regain her old cold temperament.

Even though there was a slight gap between us, I could still vaguely sense it.

It’s at least a month’s journey from here to Linzhou. I don’t know if the princess’s body can handle it.

More importantly, will the Prince of Lin be in the Prince of Lin's Mansion at that time?

What if he’s not here... While Jinxiu was worried, Li Piaomiao had already got off the carriage and walked into the inn.

The princess did not hide her whereabouts during her trip southwards, and anyone who was interested could find out. However, Li Piaomiao's identity was sensitive after all, so she rarely showed up during her trip southwards to avoid causing too much unnecessary trouble.

Of course, I’m not worried about encountering any danger!
Even when going to Linzhou this time, Li Piaomiao only brought two personal maids, Jinxiu and An Ning.

But on the way south, neither Jinxiu nor An Ning worried about encountering any danger.

After all, in their eyes, their own princess is the biggest danger...

Inside the inn.

When the shopkeeper saw this stunning pair of beauties suddenly come to the carriage outside the inn again, he immediately realized... there might be an even more distinguished person in the carriage!

Which noble family is this?

Or the descendants of kings and princes?

Just as the shopkeeper was guessing, a figure in white slowly appeared in the inn.

With a cold and aloof temperament, as soon as you step into the inn, it seems as if a chill instantly permeates the hall.

The shopkeeper shuddered subconsciously, his skin seemed to be covered with goose bumps in an instant, and a hint of fear appeared on his face.

Then, he froze in place.

His eyes were dazed, and he just glanced at it and quickly looked away.

My heart was in turmoil and I was horrified.

This woman...

so horrible!

Just one look and there is such a terrifying aura lingering.

This woman must be very skilled in martial arts.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper finally realized something...

No wonder they dared to go out in the middle of the night with such a pair of stunning twins. It turned out that their master was so powerful.

Over the years, the shopkeeper had traveled back and forth between the north and the south and had met many people from the underworld who stayed in the hotel, and had also seen many masters. But none of them could be as terrifying as this woman in white, with such overwhelming pressure that it almost made him breathless.

He must be a top-level expert in the world!
And this extraordinary temperament also made the shopkeeper realize that the other party was indeed of great importance.

It was not until the woman in white took the two twins upstairs and left that the atmosphere in the hall finally dissipated.

The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

A big shot is coming!
At this time, Li Piaomiao had already brought Jinxiu and An Ning upstairs to the third floor.

Just when I was about to go back to my room.

On the third floor, at the corner of the stairs, a figure was walking out of the next room.

It was Lin Qingqing who had just taken a shower and changed her clothes.

Lin Qingqing was exhausted from the continuous travel these days, so Lin Jiangnian ordered her not to stay up tonight. Lin Qingqing obeyed and went back to take a shower and change clothes, ready to have a good rest for the night.

However, after resting until midnight, I still felt a little uneasy and prepared to go out and take a look.

As a result, as soon as I walked out of the room, I ran into three people going upstairs.

Lin Qingqing looked at the three familiar figures that appeared in her sight, and her head seemed to be hit by something, and she stood there in a daze.

Somewhat incredible!

"Princess, eldest princess?!"

"Lin Qingqing?!"

Jinxiu, who was following the princess, recognized at a glance that the man in front of her was a trusted subordinate of Lin Jiangnian.

"You, why are you here?!"

Jinxiu was a little surprised, but then she seemed to realize something, her beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and she said in surprise: "Lin, Lin Jiangnian is here too?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, one could clearly feel the atmosphere around him change.

Li Piaomiao had a cold expression, but his eyes followed the room not far behind Lin Qingqing.

An Ning on the other side was still holding the sword in his arms. When he heard Lin Jiangnian's name, he subconsciously couldn't help but raise his head.

Facing three pairs of 'watchful' eyes, Lin Qingqing felt tremendous pressure in an instant.

These three people...

When he heard the name of his own prince, his eyes lit up!
So excited?
Especially Her Royal Highness the Princess. No, she couldn't be coming here for Her Royal Highness as well, right?
Wait, it seems... Her Royal Highness the Princess is still nominally the fiancée of our prince!
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing's heart skipped a beat!

not good!

That Miss Xu is still in His Highness's room.

This……

As if realizing something, Lin Qingqing's pupils widened slightly.

Breaking into a cold sweat.

"It's over!"

"..."

early morning.

The sunlight slowly shines into the room through the windowsill.

Lin Jiangnian opened his eyes.

After a good night's sleep, I felt refreshed.

Lin Jiangnian sat up and stretched.

When I caught a glimpse of the ground not far away from the corner of my eye, I realized something... there was a person on the ground!
Lin Jiangnian looked towards the mat on the floor and saw Miss Xu sleeping soundly there.

Her long black hair was disheveled, and she had a delicate face with her eyes closed, sleeping soundly.

Miss Xu only appears quiet after she falls asleep, with quite a bit of the temperament of a young lady.

but……

Lin Jiangnian frowned quickly.

This Miss Xu's sleeping posture is not very flattering!
She was lying on her side, with her legs slightly bent and the quilt sandwiched between her legs, her whole body curled up into a ball.

There is nothing wrong with this sleeping position.

But the problem is... this Miss Xu is not wearing any clothes!

To be precise, he was not wearing any outer clothes.

She took off her outer clothes at some point last night, so Miss Xu was left with only her underwear.

As she turned sideways, her pair of long snow-white legs were clearly exposed to the air and to Lin Jiangnian's sight, very dazzling!
You know what, the legs are quite long.

It's also quite white.

From this perspective, this Miss Xu is not without merits.

She was only wearing a thin white undergarment on her upper body. The material of the undergarment was like silk, very smooth and thin, and her snow-white skin was vaguely visible through the undergarment.

As she leaned sideways, her delicate collarbone was slightly squeezed...

Lin Jiangnian took a casual glance and made a judgment in his mind.

Small scale!

But not much in size!
But Lin Jiangnian's expression became strange!
She...what is she planning?
A man and a woman were alone in a room, and she dared to take off her clothes?

Dressed like this... do you trust him so much?

and many more……

Thinking back to what happened last night, Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt...could she have done it on purpose?

Playing the game of seduction?
Not to mention...

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Miss Xu inadvertently again.

I looked at it twice more.

Young people are hot-tempered!
Especially when you just wake up in the morning!

It starts very high!

Can't calm down.

I have to say, Xu Lan's seduction really worked.

At least at this moment, Lin Jiangnian...really had some evil thoughts about Miss Xu, who wanted to become his sworn brother.

"Sin, sin!"

"..."
