The panic on her face and the sound of "Yuan Ke" attracted Pei Jinruo's strange glance. However, Xiao Lingxi did not notice her gaze at all, but just stared at Yuan Qingluo.
Yuan Qingluo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Of course." As he said that, he had already gotten off the horse and stepped forward to help Pei Jinruo up from the ground, "This is my relative's cousin, the only one. She did not know how to punish the princess, so she would ask for a lot of money to forgive her."
Xiao Lingxi laughed in an instant, "Look at what you said, I am just joking with Miss Pei, why should Miss Yuan Er take it seriously? In this yard, we can only wander around the outer court, which is boring. It is better to be together, and maybe it will be more fun."
Pei Jinruo looked at Xiao Lingxi's bright smile and was really surprised. This was the first time she saw Xiao Lingxi facing her in her past and present life. Such a passionate expression really made her... she was flattered, but she was not full of energy and had goose bumps.
Yuan Qingluo refused without thinking, "I still have some things to do, so I won't disturb His Highness the Princess's pleasure."
As he said that, he nodded at Xiao Lingxi, turned around and pulled Pei Jinruo on his horse. He pulled the reins and walked away in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Lingxi's face was not good, so she glared at the county lord Anping and Peng Yunwei, "Did you two deliberately treat me as fools? She actually hides so much and urges me to stand up for you. She didn't even tell me that the Pei girl was the granddaughter of the Duke of England?"
"Lingxi, be careful, listen to me." After all, the Lord of Anping County and Xiao Lingxi are cousins. The daughter of the Xiao family of the Daliang royal family is a delicate daughter, and their cousins are pretty good at getting along well, so that she can persuade Xiao Lingxi to stand up for her.
She naturally also knew some unknown thoughts of Xiao Lingxi.
Therefore, except for the anger and resentment that Xiao Lingxi might have at first, she panicked for a moment, now she has completely calmed down.
"Lingxi, don't be angry. Speaking of which, this matter is not just for helping me stand up, but also for your own good. Do you know why you didn't know that Pei Jinruo is the granddaughter of the Duke of England's mansion?"
Xiao Lingxi frowned and silently questioned with her eyes.
"That's because, since her mother disappeared, the Duke of England has almost cut off contact with their family. Then do you know, when did Pei Jinruo start to move with the Duke of England again?"
"It was only since the middle of last year. This Prince Yuan is the only child of the Duke of England. Now he has lost his wife for more than two years. Speaking of which, he should have married again. At this time, the girl named Pei shook her head and went to the Duke of England. What else can she do for?"
"Even a serious cousin, she will inevitably have no other thoughts. Some people are born with light bones, but they are very scheming and deep. Who knows if she has any other thoughts based on the name of this cousin?"
"Lingxi... don't be stupid. Some things and some people should be guarded against, but they still have to be guarded against."
The subject of Anping County was very serious. Seeing Xiao Lingxi's face completely calmed down, he couldn't help but look at Peng Yunwei quietly and exchanged a successful look.
