The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 25 Awkwardness during the day

Zuo Xiangning bit her lower lip, showed a sincere smile, and said in a gentle voice: "I am not short of money now. When I am, I will tell the prince."

Ling Xiao took the land deed and put it back in his arms angrily.

"Where did you buy this snack?" Zuo Xiangning tried to lighten the mood, took the snack and ate another piece, "It's really delicious."

The man sat there with a sullen face, not even looking at her.

Zuo Xiangning sighed awkwardly, lowered her head and sat by the window, and stopped talking.

The man felt even more angry when he saw her submissive look.

When the two arrived at Mingyue Mountain, Ling Xiao got off the carriage first and opened the door curtain. He saw Zuo Xiangning sitting there with her head down and pouting. It took her a long time to stand up and walk towards the car door.

Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand towards her.

Zuo Xiangning glanced at his face and put her hand on his arm.

Ling Xiao's mood was better.

"The mountain I chose for you is the mountain in the southeast. It is surrounded by rivers and the scenery is better." Ling Xiao pointed to the much shorter mountain peak and said, "The mountain directly to the east has no river flowing through it."

In fact, Zuo Xiangning didn't want to build another courtyard.

The reason why she bought the mountain in the first place was just because of the gold mine.

But she is already riding a tiger, and if she says no now, Ling Xiao and Gu Zhiqing may doubt her intentions, and Jiang and her third brother will think that she has a child's temperament, which will suddenly change.

She felt sick just thinking about it. With 5000 taels of silver, she could buy five small shops. She could collect several hundred taels of silver just by collecting rent in a year.

"Not satisfied?" The man who had been paying attention to her secretly frowned and said: "You may not think it is short, but I found a spring in the south of it. You can build a courtyard in the south and a farm in the east. The paddy fields at the foot of the mountain are covered with water. Good farmland to wait for.”

"I'm very satisfied." Zuo Xiangning turned her head and saw that he had no concern on his face. She hurriedly smiled at him and said, "I like it very much."

The man noticed Zuo Xiangning's perfunctory attitude. He glared at her, turned and walked to the carriage, and asked Zuo Xiangning, who was still standing there, "Why don't you get in the car?"

Zuo Xiangning frowned slightly, why was he so impatient?

This man is quite gentle at night, why is he so awkward during the day?
Zuo Xiangning thought of what her third brother once said to her.

He was arrogant, arrogant and rude, and he liked those who liked him, but he hit and scolded those who didn't like him. Even several princes avoided him.

Did he like him in the dark before, but now he doesn't like him in broad daylight?
Zuo Xiangning didn't dare to provoke such a person. She didn't know how to get rid of Gu Zhiqing now. If he came again, she might die even worse than in her previous life.

She just wants to end her involvement with this man as soon as possible.

She held his arm and got into the car. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain he was talking about, Zuo Xiangning looked around and expressed her satisfaction again.

"This place is great. It's much better than the previous location on the mountain." Nice words rolled out of Zuo Xiangning's mouth, "It's really helpful for the prince to take the trouble. If the prince can use my place in the future, No matter what you say, I will go through fire and water, even if I die."

Ling Xiao was amused by her words, "I don't think I need you to die for me."

If you don't need it, that's the best thing.

Zuo Xiangning thought to herself.

Seeing that she was silent again, Ling Xiao thought that he had not accepted her kindness and had made her unhappy, so he asked, "Shall I accompany you to the mountain to see the spring?"

"My shoes today are not suitable for hiking. I will bring the steward to check tomorrow." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "I think it's going to rain, so let's go back to the city early."

Ling Xiao saw that the sky was indeed a little cloudy, so he helped her get into the carriage.

"Do you need me to find someone to help you design your house?"

"No need, the manager my mother found for me will figure it out." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile.

"I'm going to build a bridge here in a few days. I'll help you build the bridge too," Ling Xiao said again. "When my mother came here last time, she had already found someone to repair the bridge." Zuo Xiangning smiled awkwardly and said, "I am very grateful to the prince for his kindness."

Ling Xiao's eyes darkened, he took a deep look at Zuo Xiangning and stopped talking.

The air in the car suddenly seemed to have dropped several degrees.

Zuo Xiangning was on pins and needles, just hoping that the carriage could run faster.

When the carriage entered the city, Ling Xiao lifted the curtains and took a look outside. He turned around and said, "You didn't eat anything at noon. I'll take you to dinner. Are you going?"

Zuo Xiangning clearly felt the man's displeasure.

But does he have a weak brain?

How could she blatantly go to a restaurant with him for dinner in the capital?

"I sneaked out for a day and my family would be worried if I came back too late." Zuo Xiangning said sheepishly, "I'll treat you to another day."

Zuo Xiangning's repeated refusal made Ling Xiao's face completely cold.

Until Zuo Xiangning got off the carriage at the door of Zuo Mansion and told him, "See you later," he didn't say a word.

It's better not to say anything, because the two of them can "see each other indefinitely".

Zuo Xiangning returned to Xianglanzhai and asked Pancui to find her third brother in the front yard and ask Pancui to find someone to bolt several windows from the inside.

She took Panxia to change clothes.

When she finished changing her clothes and came out, the little girl who had gone to the front yard also ran back, "Sister Lixia said that the third young master hasn't come back from school yet."

"Not back yet?" Zuo Xiangning looked at the darkening sky. It was already past the time for school to end.

"Sister Lixia said that when the third young master comes back, she will tell him that the girl has something urgent to do with him."

Zuo Xiangning couldn't help it, so she turned around and asked someone to serve the food.

Before her food was set, Zuo Xiangyu walked in from outside.

Zuo Xiangning looked at her favorite carrot sweet potato on the table, walked outside the door, stood on the corridor and asked, "Why is the third sister here at this time?"

Zuo Xiangyu stood in the yard, looked up at her, and said, "What have you been busy with my sister these past two days? Why can't you be seen? Isn't it just that you are just hanging around the madam and forgetting about the old lady? He didn’t even look at her old man.”

Zuo Xiangning secretly bit her back teeth, couldn't Zuo Xiangyu stop for a while?

"I'm just busy, unlike my sister who eats fasting, chants Buddha's name every day, and cultivates her moral character." Zuo Xiangning knew that Zuo Xiangyu was eager for quick success, so asking her to recite sutras honestly every day was just like being punished.

She deliberately angered Zuo Xiangyu and said: "Third sister was too impatient before. I think my sister is much calmer now, which shows that it is still effective. Sister, I heard that just memorizing the scriptures is not enough, you have to write and memorize them. You have to keep it in mind so that you can wholeheartedly do good.”

Zuo Xiangyu read the scriptures to the old lady for several days. When she heard the word "scripture", she felt sick.

Now listening to Zuo Xiangning's sarcastic remarks, the anger in her heart suddenly jumped up.

But when she thought about her mission this time, she suppressed it forcefully.

She glared at the smiling Zuo Xiangning with her willow eyebrows upside down, and then said: "I'm here to tell you that the second sister is deeply uneasy because she failed to take good care of you at the last flower-viewing banquet, and I want to invite you Let’s meet at Prince Qi’s Mansion tomorrow, and I’ll come find you tomorrow morning.”

"I can't go tomorrow." Zuo Xiangning refused without thinking: "Third sister, please tell the second sister that I understand that as a concubine, the second sister has no right to speak in Prince Qi's palace, and I will not blame her. What’s more, nothing major happened that day, so there’s no need for the second sister to be uneasy.”

"Zuo Xiangning! What are you talking about?"

In Zuo Xiangyu's heart, she had always been prepared to rely on Zuo Xiangyun to help her find a good son-in-law.

Now the person she relied on wholeheartedly was just a "concubine" with no status in the heart of Zuo Xiangning, a helpless little concubine. She couldn't help but be furious!
This is worse than looking down on her, Zuo Xiangyu!
