The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Chapter 5 Xiao Xuan likes her sister

Lin Zhiyu pursed her lips tightly, not caring at all about being stared at and speculated by Xiao Xuan.

"I did say this, but the second sister... no, those are all nonsense words made by me because I was insane. Don't take it to heart, Mr. Xiao."

Second sister?Thank you?
It was her.

Lin Zhiyu looked like she had said something wrong. After a long while, he tentatively asked again: "Mr. Xiao, do you...have nowhere to go?"

"I am a person from Xunyang. I traveled thousands of miles to Beijing this time to participate in the Spring Festival of the coming year. Unfortunately, I was robbed and kidnapped by bandits as soon as I entered Beijing. That's when I met Miss Lin."

It means that he really has nowhere to go.

It was precisely because of this rhetoric that on the night he was rescued, Lin Zhiyu climbed up and threw a bargaining chip for help, saying that he would keep him in the Marquis Mansion and give him a fortune. After that, he even asked his parents to recognize him as their adopted son, which was ridiculous. She also said it out loud, terrified that he would abandon her.

Not surprisingly, she was taken advantage of in her previous life. She was really stupid and annoying at that time.

Lin Zhiyu suddenly recalled this matter, and was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands, "Oh, yes, yes! Mr. Xiao, you said that I don't have a very good memory..."

"But I didn't think well about keeping Mr. Xiao. The place where Mr. Xiao is now is Yixiang Garden in Pingxihou Mansion. I am the fourth girl of Pingxihou Mansion. I have made an appointment with Prince Jianning in the early years. We are engaged, you and I are men and women, so it is really inconvenient for me to keep you here."

"Young Master Xiao saved my life as a great favor. It would be bad if I ruined Young Master Xiao's reputation again because of me."

In his words, there was no mention of worries or suspicions about Xiao Xuan's ulterior motives.

Xiao Xuan heard everything. With Lin Zhiyu's mind, someone must be teaching her what she said today.

Lin Zhiyu knew Xiao Xuan quite well after being married for many years in their previous life. Seeing his current reaction, she knew what he was suspecting.

It is not surprising that Lin Zhiyu deliberately mentioned Xie Yiwan and diverted the trouble. At this time, Xie Yiwan really hated Xiao Xuan.

Today, Xiao Xuan does not have the powerful position that he later had, so he cannot catch Xie Yiwan's eyes, and he has ruined Xie Yiwan's plan to get rid of Lin Zhiyu with the help of bandits. She is about to kill Xiao Xuan quickly.

In the past few days alone, Xie Yiwan had mentioned more than once that his savior had impure thoughts, and had made insinuations to lure Lin Zhiyu'en to avenge him and drive him out, nipping the possibility of Lin Zhiyu making true friends in the bud.

Knowing that Lin Zhi was already suspicious after being prompted by someone else, Xiao Xuan did not force him, "In that case, it is inconvenient for me to stay longer, and I don't bother Miss Lin to send servants. I will leave today."

Lin Zhiyu quickly stepped forward to stop her, "No! You are still injured, how can you leave today?! My mother will not let you leave today!"

"No need."

"Today is New Year's Eve. All the inns are closed to welcome guests. Where can you go? If you don't stay for two more days, I will go back and try again..."

Lin Zhiyu bit her lip, struggling to swallow back the words she was about to blurt out, "Anyway, please Master Xiao to stay for a few more days. The house has prepared meals for the New Year. I will send someone to deliver them later!"

"There are servants arranged by me at the door. During the training period, if Mr. Xiao needs anything, just ask them to convey it."

After that, without waiting for Xiao Xuan to refuse, he walked out.

Xiao Xuan knew what Lin Zhiyu was hesitating to say, and she wanted to try to persuade the elders in the house to keep him.

The reason why Lin Zhiyu said this was because she knew that Xiao Xuan was a deep-minded and suspicious person. It was not enough to try to get him to believe her just by mentioning Xie Yiwan inadvertently.

She deliberately acted wavering and couldn't bear to let him go, in order to dispel his doubts about her.

"Miss Lin." The moment he stepped out of the inner room, Xiao Xuan's voice came from behind Lin Zhiyu.

Lin Zhiyu paused, sweating in her palms.

Could he have seen something?
"Please ask Miss Lin to take away everything in the hands of those outside the house."

Xiao Xuan was referring to those generous gifts of gold and silver.

Lin Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Those..."

"I'm trying to save people for peace of mind, not for fame or money. Please don't humiliate me, Miss Lin."

Lin Zhiyu sneered in her heart when she heard this. He was not after gold and silver, but the lives of her Lin family.

*
After leaving Yixiang Garden and returning to his room, Lin Zhiyu felt a little exhausted.

On the table in front of the window, the fragrance of hot tea swirled around. Lin Zhiyu casually opened a few account books in front of him, his eyes touched the snow outside the window, and his thoughts drifted back to his past life.

On the day Xiao Xuan made her sister his queen, the snow was so heavy that everything was white.

In her previous life, she lived in the palace for three months, but she didn't know that the person imprisoned in Hanzhang Palace was Sister A.

Just a brief confrontation with Xiao Xuan has already made her anxious. Sister was imprisoned by Xiao Xuan for two years in her previous life. According to Sister's public and hasty temper, she will inevitably confront Xiao Xuan. How did she endure it? Came here?

Xie Yiwan told her that Xiao Xuan made sister his queen just to take advantage of her.

But Lin Zhiyu knew that this was not the case.

If he didn't really like her, Xiao Xuan would never go against all the opinions and make a married woman his queen.

Taking by force, the king taking away the wives of his subjects, Xiao Xuan was unwilling to let go even if he had to bear the hatred of his country and his family.

How affectionate is this?
He approached her and kept it secret, not only to take advantage of her trust for revenge, but more importantly, to divert the danger that should have fallen on Sister A to her.

Lin Zhiyu is willing to protect her sister.

But why on earth does Xiao Xuan like Ajie?

And when did you start liking it, and when did you develop bad thoughts?
If this evil thought could be killed in time... But if we treat each other sincerely, why would Xiao Xuan welcome Xie Yiwan into the palace and become a noble concubine?Doesn't he know that Sister A and Xie Yiwan have always been at odds?

Do you really want to take advantage of it, or is Xiao Xuan just such a dissolute and passionate nature?

The more she thought about it, the more disgusted Lin Zhiyu became towards Xiao Xuan. In her previous life, she would do all kinds of stupid things for such a person, and almost died several times.

I don’t know if Sister A has seen her last letter to her...

'Boom—'

The window was suddenly closed, cutting off the snowy scene and interrupting Lin Zhiyu's thoughts.

"Miss, you haven't recovered yet. You're just enjoying the snow. Why are you looking at these account books all day? Stacks here and there, sketching... Is it possible that you want to do business in the future?!"
