With a show of hands, several butterflies flew into the glass jar.

Jin Zixi quickly closed the lid and stuffed it into Jiang Liyun's hand. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him like a cunning fox: "If you like it, just take it and play with it slowly."

She treated him like a child, and the Marquis found this behavior funny.

In the past half month since entering the mansion, Jin Zixi would look for Mrs. Liyue from time to time at night. She was afraid that she would be too bored to stay at the bottom of the well alone, so she brought her good wine and food. After asking around, she found out that Jiang Liyun was pretending to be someone else.

Mrs. Liyue knew about the silly things, but Mr. Hou did not.

According to Mrs. Liyue, the Marquis loves his son very much, so not letting him know some things will make him more cautious.

Mrs. Liyue refused to say anything, and Jin Zixi naturally didn't say anything. She just saw that the Marquis also looked at Jiang Liyun like a child, and felt a little funny in her heart.

Fortunately, Jiang Liyun held the butterfly and didn't bother her anymore. Jin Zixi glanced sideways at this moment and saw that Wu Wanyue had been taken away by Jiang Shaoqing. They were so loving, and she didn't know who it was made for.

After drying the clothes, Mianxin stayed behind to watch over them, while Chunhua Qiuyue followed Jin Zixi and Jiang Liyun back to the backyard.

After returning to the house, when there were no outsiders, Jin Zixi helped Jiang Liyun sit on the chair: "Don't think too much, your elder brother is deliberately irritating you and forcing you to show your weakness, you must not

Fell into his trap."

Jiang Liyun's face was calm, and the previous smile was gone. Jin Zixi couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, so she sat alone on a chair nearby: "Actually, after everything is over,

, you can let Wu Wanyue change her identity and come back to you, and you don’t need to care so much..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liyun turned to look at her, his dark eyes as dark as night, making Jin Zixi feel uncomfortable all over.

He didn't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly showed a smile, the corners of his thin lips raised slightly, and his slender fingers tapped lightly on his knees.

This scrutinizing look gave Jin Zixi an ominous feeling, but the glare in Jiang Liyun's eyes quickly dissipated, and the look he looked at Jin Zixi was somewhat soft.

He opened his thin lips, as if he was planning to say something to Jin Zixi, but at this moment Qiu Mei pushed open the door and walked in hurriedly to Jin Zixi, whispering: "Palace Master, there is new news!"

Jin Zixi slowly raised her hand, and as soon as the wind passed by, the door was closed. She gave Qiu Mei a faint wink: "Go ahead."

Anyway, it is the matter of the Hou Mansion, and there is no need to hide it from Jiang Liyun. Unexpectedly, Qiu Mei looked troubled and said with some hesitation: "Palace Master, the secret guard has found out that the carriage that fell off the cliff was damaged.

, but... the Fourth Young Master seems to want to fall down on his own."

Hearing this, Jin Zixi couldn't help but smile and looked lazily at Jiang Liyun who was silent on the side: "Of course, if you have the strength to push Jiang Qitian out, but if you don't have the strength to escape by yourself, the fourth young master doesn't treat everyone as a fool.

Are you kidding?"

After saying that, she waved her hand to ask Qiu Mei to step back first, while she slowly walked to Jiang Liyun and held his shoulders: "But having said that, if your third brother Jiang Qitian is a real idiot,

You put so much effort into saving his life, but it’s not worth the gain!”

"How do you know he didn't tamper with the carriage?"

It was rare that Jiang Liyun was willing to talk to her so normally. Jin Zixi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "If it was really Jiang Qitian who moved his hands and feet, you could pull him down the cliff together when something happened. Why bother to save his life? Do it yourself."

Playing this cruel trick? But

, I would like to ask you, Jiang Qitian is so arrogant, and now he is in charge of the money of the entire Hou Mansion. Is he just acting like you, but in fact he has been prepared for it secretly? Also, does he know?

Do you know you are pretending to be stupid?"

"Only you and mother know that I'm pretending to be stupid." Jiang Liyun said this lightly, then raised his eyes to look at Jin Zixi, his eyes burning, with a hint of probing, "As for third brother... you check it out.

.”

Jin Zixi didn't expect that it would be so difficult to get words out of Jiang Liyun's mouth. At this moment, she couldn't help but frown and looked at him coldly: "I'm helping you, but why do you seem to be playing tricks on me?

"

"I never thought about asking you to help..." At this point, Jiang Liyun sighed slightly, "I gave you a bag of gold and asked you to kill the Emperor of Nanxiang, but I never thought about asking you to come here.

Wading in troubled waters.”

"Then what? I kill the emperor, and then wait to be hunted down by you Nanxiang people? Or, at that time, you eradicate the dissidents, kill me again under the banner of avenging the emperor, and then secure your position as king?

"Jin Zixi sneered, Ming

His bright eyes were still cunning, "Jiang Liyun, now I am willing to be used by you because I know that bigger meat is behind me. I stay because I keep my word, not because of you, nor because of you."

I’m curious about the Southern Xiang Kingdom, do you understand?”

Jiang Liyun also had a good temper. Even if she said everything that was on his mind, he was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and asked, "But don't forget, we are a married couple. If I really have the ability to become the emperor, then

, you are the queen, it’s not up to you to decide whether it’s rare or not.”

Jin Zixi still just sneered: "Okay, let's see if you can find me then!"

The conversation ended on bad terms, and Jin Zixi never spoke to Jiang Liyun again for the next few days.

However, a few days later, Jiang Shaoqing returned to Beijing, and Wu Wanyue came to visit Jiang Liyun when she had nothing to do. Perhaps she was worried that others would gossip, so she came with the fifth lady Jiang Feilin.

Jin Zixi just welcomed her, letting the spring flowers and autumn moon make tea and cakes, leaving her soft heart to serve her.

Seeing that Jiang Feilin frowned and her favorite fourth brother's expression didn't even change at all, Jin Zixi couldn't help but become suspicious and asked Wu Wanyue curiously: "What's wrong with Miss Fifth? Why is she so distracted?"

Wu Wanyue, who had been looking at Jiang Liyun, finally came back to her senses and smiled faintly at Jin Zixi: "Mrs. Hou is looking for a husband for the fifth young lady..."

Speaking of this, Wu Wanyue added: "You also know, among the daughters of wealthy families, whose marriage is not a victim?"

As if talking about herself, Wu Wanyue sighed slightly.

But Wu Wanyue knew that she had no reason to complain, because marrying Jiang Shaoqing was of her own free will.

Jin Zixi was silent for a while, and then asked: "Who does Mrs. Hou want to marry the fifth lady to?"

Wu Wanyue shook her head: "There are several candidates, but they have not been confirmed yet, but the fifth lady seems... not very happy..."

After hearing this, Jin Zixi couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that the fifth lady already has a sweetheart?"

"I don't know either. After all, I haven't been in the mansion for a long time, and... because of marrying Jiang Shaoqing, Miss Fifth seems to have some misunderstandings about me. You know, I can't explain it."

Seeing the wry smile on Wu Wanyue's lips, Jin Zixi wanted to find something to comfort her, but didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, at this time, Wu Wanyue raised her eyes to look at Jin Zixi and smiled at her: "Actually, you are much better than me.

, even if I don't marry Jiang Shaoqing and force my father to abide by the original engagement and stay with Li Yun, I can't be like you and protect him in everything. After all, I... don't know martial arts, so I can't do anything.

way……"

"Actually, some things don't depend on whether you know martial arts, but whether you have the heart." At some point, Jiang Feilin left Jiang Liyun behind and walked out of the room. She happened to hear what Wu Wanyue said just now, and she smiled half-heartedly.

A bit contemptuously, "I don't understand, sister-in-law, you showed off your affection to me when my eldest brother was here. Now that my eldest brother has returned to the capital, who are you showing this sad look to?"

Wu Wanyue was startled, and she clenched the teacup tightly with both hands. Jin Zixi quickly pulled Jiang Feilin aside: "Children, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

"Child?" Jiang Feilin glared at her, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are not a few months older than me, right? If I am a child, what about you? Also, my sister-in-law and fourth brother are engaged, so today she asked me

When I came over, I felt strange, why did you want to be with me? It turned out that you just wanted to complain to you conveniently! Things like being forced by your family and not knowing martial arts are all excuses! If I have someone I like, I will never do it.

Will marry someone else!"

Jiang Feilin said this in a hurry, and Wu Wanyue stood up and left. Jin Zixi saw that she was leaving in a hurry, so she quickly asked Mianxin to follow her, but she didn't know that Jiang Feilin was still making faces with her: "Fourth sister-in-law,

You don't need to worry about her. Who doesn't pretend to be kind? If you don't come early, you won't come late. But as soon as the eldest brother leaves, she comes to the fourth brother, which shows that she is lonely in the boudoir and wants to find her old lover! Dream on, the fourth brother has been gone for a long time

Remember her!"

Jin Zixi glanced at the helpless Jiang Liyun in panic. Seeing that his expression did not change, she hurriedly advised Jiang Feilin: "You are really... you are getting more and more energetic as you talk! She really has her own reasons. She is your sister-in-law no matter what. How can you

That’s what you’re saying about her?”

Jiang Feilin pursed her lips unhappily: "I've wanted to say it for a long time, but I never had the chance. Today she complained to you instead, what's the point? Now you are the wife of the fourth brother Ming Media, and she still dares to say such a thing in front of you

Aren't you angry when you say that? That's all, I can't stand it, so I stood up for you, fourth sister-in-law. Since fourth sister-in-law doesn't appreciate it, I think I'll just leave!"

Jin Zixi quickly grabbed her. She really had the temperament of a child and there was nothing he could do to her.

"Don't leave in a hurry. I have something to ask you. Do you have a sweetheart? That's why you lost your temper just now?"

Jiang Feilin was startled, with a trace of blush on her face. She seemed to be told something important by Jin Zixi, so she turned her hand away and faced her, fiddling with her hair: "How did the fourth sister-in-law know?"

"You have made it very clear just now that as long as you really like something, you will not marry someone you don't like even if your family forces you to." At this point, Jin Zixi sighed slightly, "Yes.

Doesn't it make you so upset that Mrs. Hou chose a husband for you?"
