Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 243 Xiao Lin Helps
Lan Yao handed it to Jing Ning for the two of them to read, and then asked nervously, "What do you think? Will Chen Zhi like it?"

Jing Ning carefully looked at the sachet in his hand, and found that the workmanship was really fine, and he also knew that Lan Yao was really embroidering with heart, and liked Chen Zhi with all his heart.She curled her lips and smiled, "I think it's very good. In fact, Yaoyao," she stared at Lan Yao, "No matter what you give Chen Zhi, whether the embroidery is fine or rough, Chen Zhi will be very happy."

Lan Yao was stunned after hearing this, and the emotions that had been depressed for several days disappeared in an instant.

"But Yaoyao, why did you embroider plum blossoms for Chen Zhi? I saw that other women embroidered fishes and the like for the man they loved. They were all embroidered with colored threads on colored silk. Why do you think so?" It looks so... um, plain." Xiao Yuan stared at the sachet for a long time before she spoke slowly and asked Lan Yao.

"Chen Zhi doesn't like things that are too complicated. If I use colored thread and colored silk, it's too fancy, and I'm afraid he won't like it."

When Jing Ning heard Lan Yao's indifferent explanation, he was happy that Chen Zhi was liked by this woman, Lan Yao.
"Besides," Lan Yao blinked, "Don't you think Chen Zhi is very similar to this red plum?"

"Alike?" Xiao Yuan was puzzled.

"They all give people a very cold feeling." Lan Yao seemed to be thinking about something, "Don't look at Chen Zhi smiling like a monster every day, but in fact, if you find out carefully, you will see that the smile is completely different. No warmth. Although he treats people very romantically, he is actually very cold in his heart."

Jing Ning listened carefully to Lan Yao talking about Chen Zhi. The Chen Zhi she said was different from the Chen Zhi that ordinary people saw. Everyone else only saw Chen Zhi's superficial appearance. Only Lan Yao was paying attention to his hiding. In my heart, that real Chen Zhi, that cold Chen Zhi.

Xiao Yuan didn't quite understand, "But, I don't think Chen Zhi is so indifferent, he feels very happy with us."

"That's because he really regards us as his friends." Lan Yao smiled very warmly, "He regards us as his good friends, so it's naturally very happy to be with us."

"Then when do you plan to give it to him?" Jing Ning asked.

The smile on Lan Yao's face slowly faded, "I don't know yet. I wanted to give it to him when I finished the embroidery. But I never had a chance to go out."

"Do you want us to help?" Jing Ning and Lan Yao are good sisters, and naturally they are very clear about what Yaoyao is thinking, so she didn't say anything like 'I'll help you bring it to him', but just asked herself help something.

"I can't help anything for the time being. I can't see him, and I can't see him now." Lan Yao sighed. If she secretly met Chen Zhi at this juncture, it would really be Nafu Guogong's mansion. Regardless of life and death.

"Let's wait until this turmoil is over. There's no rush." ​​Although she said no rush, the anxiety in Lan Yao's eyes still betrayed her.

Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan are also people who understand the overall situation, so they naturally know that it is impossible to arrange for the two to meet now, so there is no need to mention it.

The three of them talked again in the room. Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan looked at the sky, and comforted Lan Yao not to worry. Xiao Yuan also vowed again that her brother would find out who spread the rumors. Then he left Fuguo Duke's mansion.

When Xiao Yuan returned to the General's Mansion, there was a young servant waiting there as soon as he arrived at the door. Seeing her return, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, the young master is waiting for you in the house?"

"Wait for me? Wait for me?" As soon as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, she realized that she forgot to ask Jing Ning about her attitude towards marriage.She patted herself on the head with an annoyed expression, it's not easy for her brother to do business now.

"Well, tell my brother that I just came back from a day of exhaustion, so I'm going back to my room to rest." Xiao Yuan hurriedly finished speaking and was about to run away, but she didn't expect that young man to stop her quickly.

"Miss, the young master also ordered the young one to say that if the young lady doesn't go to him, then the young master will go to you in person." The young servant said with a smile on his face, looking at Xiao Yuan's murderous eyes, he felt very helpless, But he would rather upset the young lady than provoke the young master.

Xiao Yuan gritted her teeth and glared at the servant, drooping her head, that's all, she couldn't escape.

She followed the boy slowly to Xiao Lin's courtyard, and the boy turned his head frequently along the way, afraid that the young lady would suddenly disappear.

When he finally reached the gate of Xiao Lin's courtyard, the servant breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, we're here." He didn't stop after speaking, and ran away as if to escape.

"Brother." Xiao Yuan squeezed out a smile.

Xiao Lin's face was pale, and he put down the brush in his hand, "You're back?"

"Yeah, I'm back!"

"How is it?" Xiao Lin asked, if you look carefully, you will find that there is an eager light in his eyes.

"Uh... that... Jing Ning and I went to Fuguo Duke's Mansion today." Xiao Yuan didn't dare to look into Xiao Lin's eyes, and dodged them.

"Does she hate this marriage?" Xiao Lin immediately lost his patience and asked openly.

"I don't know yet." Xiao Yuan said in a low voice, and secretly glanced at her brother's expression, as expected, her face darkened.She swallowed, "But when I went, Jing Ning was embroidering a wedding gown." She quickly lowered her head after saying a word.

Embroidered wedding dress?Xiao Lin's eyes lit up, and her dark eyes were shining brightly at this moment, "Is she embroidering a wedding dress? The wedding dress when she got married?"

Xiao Yuan rolled her eyes at Xiao Lin in her heart, nonsense, isn't it the wedding dress when she got married, or the wedding dress she wears every day?Wasn't her brother always very clever?Why are you so stupid now.Although she hated Xiao Lin in her heart, Xiao Yuan didn't dare to show it on the surface, and nodded obediently, "Yes. The wedding dress when we got married."

The corners of Xiao Lin's lips curled up slightly, so Jing Ning did not reject this marriage.

"By the way, brother." Xiao Yuan curled her lips when she saw her brother's smile, and suddenly remembered what she promised Lan Yao, so she hurriedly called out.

"what happened?"

"You know that the matter of Chen Zhi and Yaoyao was reported to the court officials, right?" Xiao Yuan asked eagerly.

"I know a little bit." Xiao Lin frowned.

"That...can you help me to check and see who is passing it on. Jing Ning and I guess it's a high-ranking official, but we don't know who it is." Xiao Yuan wisely mentioned Jing Ning.

Xiao Lin's eyes flickered when he heard Jing Ning's name, "Okay, I'll check."

Xiao Yuan cheered inwardly, but on the surface she said reservedly, "Jing Ning really wants to know who passed it on, brother, can you be faster?"

Xiao Lin glanced at Xiao Yuan lightly, and stared straight at her, almost making Xiao Yuan surrender.After realizing that Xiao Yuan couldn't hold on any longer, she nodded, "I'll tell you in two days."

Xiao Yuan felt that her legs were going weak, and guessed that her brother must know that she was bluffing him with Jing Ning, but she was right, Jing Ning really wanted to know.
