Chapter 399 Have You Been Planning This for a Long Time?

After a heavy downpour last night, the sky was gray, as if a shadow had been cast over it.

The air is filled with moist cold air, mixed with a biting chill, giving people an indescribable feeling of loneliness.

A heavy rain turned the entire courtyard into a mess.

The various rare flowers and plants placed in the corners of the courtyard were also damaged and humiliated by last night's heavy rain.

Withered, dilapidated, and embarrassed, it fell in a corner of the courtyard.

Extremely pitiable.

Under the eaves, Xiaozhu was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, his little face slightly flushed by the cold wind, and he was walking towards the door of the room with a bowl of hot ginger soup.

After taking just two steps, he met a figure head-on.

"Your Highness?"

Lin Jiangnian appeared under the eaves at some point. He looked at Xiaozhu and then at the thing Xiaozhu was holding: "This is it?"

Xiaozhu explained: "Sister Zhiyuan just woke up, I'm going to deliver some ginger soup to Sister Zhiyuan!"

"Give it to me."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, took the ginger soup from Xiaozhu's hand, and thought of something else: "By the way, Xiaozhu, go help His Highness with something!"

Xiaozhu looked excited: "What's going on?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the room not far away, leaned into Xiaozhu's ear, and whispered something.

After Xiaozhu finished listening, a look of surprise appeared on his red face: "Your Highness, you..."

"Go quickly."

"Okay, okay..."

Xiaozhu nodded obediently, turned around and tiptoed towards the courtyard next door.

Watching Xiaozhu leave, Lin Jiangnian turned around and came to the next room with ginger soup.

Knocked on the door.

"Zhiyuan, are you awake?"

Not hearing a response from the room, Lin Jiangqing pushed the door open gently.

The door opened and he walked in with ginger soup.

The sky was overcast and the room was slightly dark.

Lin Jiangnian walked into the room and saw Zhiyuan, who had already stood up and put on a plain white thick dress. She was sitting quietly at the table, lowering her head and reading a book.

The cool temperament vaguely blends into the atmosphere in the room.

"woke up?"

Lin Jiangnian carefully placed the ginger soup on the table, came to her side, and said with a chuckle: "It's cold, are you hungry? Let's drink some soup to warm up first."

Zhiyuan ignored it, still looking down at the book in his hand, without even raising his head to glance at him.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian stepped forward behind Zhiyuan, bent slightly and came closer, and chuckled: "What are you looking at? Are you so fascinated?"

As if aware of Lin Jiangnian's approach, Zhiyuan frowned slightly, with a cold face, and glanced back at him.

Lin Jiangnian didn't seem to notice. He reached out from behind and hugged Zhiyuan's slender waist, and pulled her into his arms.

He rested his chin on her shoulder and turned his head slightly, smelling the fragrant scent of the girl and her delicate and flawless face.

It seems cold, but in fact...it is really deserted.

Hugging the girl's delicate body, you can feel the girl's slightly tight body, as well as the slight resistance that seems to be absent.

Lin Jiangnian understood and kissed the girl's smooth and delicate face, then chuckled and said, "Are you still angry with me?"

After being kissed suddenly, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Zhiyuan's eyes.

However, maybe it was because I had experienced it many times before. Although I was a little embarrassed, I didn't have much strong reaction.

She struggled slightly, but to no avail, so she gave up. She had a cold expression on her face, didn't look at him, and didn't speak.

Such a slightly cold and stubborn look was inexplicably cute in Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

He couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't help but get closer and kiss her.

At this time, Zhiyuan finally had some reaction, turned her head slightly, and glared at him slightly angrily.

Are you saying you're not angry?

This is obviously a sign of anger, and his emotions are written all over his face.

Lin Jiangnian sat down next to Zhiyuan and took advantage of the situation to hug her and sit on him.

Sensing Lin Jiangnian's movement, Zhiyuan's face finally changed slightly, showing a hint of shame and anger. She twisted her body, trying to struggle down.

"Hiss... don't move, you might get angry..."

Hearing this, Zhiyuan's body froze in place, not daring to move.

A blush climbed up from the crystal clear earlobes in her hair, and soon half of her face was red.

She stared at Lin Jiangnian with wide eyes, feeling ashamed and angry.

There is also a bit of indescribable anger, which makes people look a little bit sympathetic.

"I'm kidding you!"

Seeing Zhiyuan's expression, Lin Jiangnian quickly spoke softly, hugged the girl's soft and slender waist, took her voluptuous bare hands, and held them tightly.

Looking at the girl's embarrassed look, Lin Jiangnian said in a loud voice: "I'm here to apologize to you!"

Zhiyuan seemed slightly startled, staring at him.

Still didn't speak.

"I know, you must be angry with me... Why should I bring her back to Jiang Mansion..."

"You must feel uncomfortable, I..."

"I don't."

Before Lin Jiangnian could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Zhi Yuan.

She spoke calmly, glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and suppressed the shame in her eyes.

Not angry?

Lin Jiangnian looked her up and down, staring at Zhiyuan's white and red face, as beautiful and pure as a peach blossom, as if he wanted to see the truth in her words.

How does she look lifeless?

Soon, Lin Jiangnian thought of something: "Not angry, but unhappy?"

Zhiyuan looked away, expressionless.

Silent.

That is the default!

As expected.

"She..."

Lin Jiangnian pondered how to talk to Zhiyuan.

The current situation in front of him really gave him a headache. Zhiyuan and Liu Su did not get along, and there was a conflict between them.

The source of this conflict was also very complicated and difficult to resolve.

Lin Jiangnian was caught in the middle, and it was indeed difficult to deal with.

It's hard to treat everyone equally... It's hard!

Just as Lin Jiangnian was sighing in his heart, Zhiyuan slowly moved her eyes to Lin Jiangnian.

"What are you going to do?"

She suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little unresponsive: "What?"

"How do you plan to arrange it?"

Zhiyuan stared into his eyes and asked casually.

How to arrange it?

Lin Jiangnian was a little unsure of Zhiyuan's thoughts for a while, and tried to ask: "How do you think it should be arranged?"

Zhiyuan didn't say anything, just stared at him quietly.

The calm eyes made Lin Jiangnian feel more and more guilty.

"Ahem..."

"I want to hear your opinion."

Lin Jiangnian held her hand and said softly: "No matter what, I respect your idea..."

Zhiyuan was silent for a while, and then she looked away and didn't look at Lin Jiangnian again.

"I don't know."

She said calmly.

It's not just Lin Jiangnian who hasn't thought it through, she hasn't thought it through either. She didn't know what she was thinking, she just felt complicated and a little confused.

After a while, she looked at Lin Jiangnian again and suddenly said: "Do you want to keep her?"

This...

Lin Jiangnian didn't seem to expect Zhiyuan to suddenly ask such a question, he hesitated for a short while: "She may not be willing..."

With Liu Su's personality, it might be difficult to keep her.

"What about you?"

Zhiyuan asked again.

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

Zhiyuan's aggressiveness seemed to have suddenly become stronger.

Facing Zhiyuan's burning questioning, Lin Jiangnian hesitated for a moment, but still spoke his mind: "Well... If you are willing, I naturally hope that I can..."

Zhiyuan's face still showed no emotion: "What if I don't want to?"

Lin Jiangnian hugged her tighter, feeling the girl's soft and delicate body, and the fragrant body fragrance filled the air.

He sighed softly: "If you don't want to, I will of course respect your idea."

"No matter what, I don't want you two to have a gap because of me, and I don't want you to have any unpleasantness..."

"After all, no matter what, she is the only relative in the world who is related to you by blood."

Lin Jiangnian said very sincerely.

But after thinking about it carefully, he also found that his remarks were somewhat...shameless?

After Zhiyuan finished listening, her face still didn't show much emotion.

She is not like an ordinary woman. Even when encountering such things, she is silent most of the time and doesn't show her expression.

She will not lose her mind. On the contrary, she has always been very calm.

It's just that occasionally calmness will be dominated by emotions. After all, she is still a person with feelings, unlike the eldest princess in the palace.

Zhiyuan was silent, perhaps Lin Jiangnian's last words touched her. There seemed to be some emotions brewing in her bright eyes.

This time, she was silent for a long time.

When Zhiyuan raised her eyes again, her tone was more determined, and she looked at Lin Jiangnian: "I want to talk to her."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her, a little surprised.

But at the same time, he was a little worried: "You..."

Zhiyuan's beautiful eyes were calm: "I won't care about her."

"What you said just now is indeed very right. After all, no matter what, she..."

Zhiyuan's beautiful eyes were shining, looking out the window quietly, and spoke lightly.

"After all, she is my sister!"

"..."

Outside the courtyard.

Lin Jiangnian recalled what Zhiyuan said just now, and always felt that she seemed to have something to say?

But he didn't figure it out for a while, but he was slightly relieved.

Apart from anything else, Zhiyuan basically never lies. Since she said she wouldn't argue with Liu Su, it was probably true.

As for Liu Su, Lin Jiangnian was not sure!

So far, he didn't know what Liu Su thought.

She always had a hostile attitude towards Zhiyuan. It was a question whether the two sisters could sit down and have a good chat in peace.

I didn't know how my aunt talked with Liu Su. I asked Xiaozhu to eavesdrop just now, but why didn't she come back?

Lin Jiangnian thought about it while returning to the courtyard.

Not long after he came back, he ran into Jiang Yuxiang who had been waiting for a long time under the eaves.

"Aunt?"

Lin Jiangnian looked up and saw Jiang Yuxiang standing under the eaves, with her arms folded across her chest, looking at him with a condescending attitude.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the courtyard next door behind her: "Are you done talking?"

Jiang Yuxiang crossed her arms and said coldly: "Come here!"

Lin Jiangnian didn't understand, but felt that his aunt had some bad intentions. He took a step back and said cautiously: "Aunt, we can talk... What's wrong?"

"I'm talking to you... Come here first!"

"I won't go over, aunt, just say it directly."

"..."

"I just heard Liu Su say that you always bully her?!"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian was stunned: "When did I bully her?"

"Liu Su told me personally, how could it be false?"

Jiang Yuxiang said angrily: "You are really getting more and more successful. You only bully girls, right?"

It is obvious that Liu Su didn't know what she said to her aunt again.

Isn't this clearly slander?

"Aunt, do you believe this?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed.

"What else?"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "Don't think I don't know that you like to bully Zhiyuan on weekdays?"

"Liu Su is a girl, helpless and wandering outside. Isn't she bullied by you?"

"Aunt, did you get it wrong?"

Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but say: "She is not a girl. She is a saint of the Tianshen Sect. She has a noble status and unfathomable martial arts...Aunt, do you think that with my little kung fu, I can bully her?"

Jiang Yuxiang's expression froze...It seems that there is some truth?

"Is her martial arts very powerful?" Jiang Yuxiang couldn't help asking.

"Much more powerful than me!"

"Can't you tell?"

Jiang Yuxiang looked suspicious. She had just communicated with that little Liu Su. That girl was weak and cold, a bit like a kite. How could she look powerful?

She was clearly a weak and boneless woman?

"Of course you can't tell, auntie... She hides it very well. She always bullies me..."

Lin Jiangnian sighed.

Liu Su bit back, and turned against Tian Gang!

"Hmph, no matter what, she is a girl, how can she bully you? But you, I'm afraid you have wronged her a lot, right?" Jiang Yuxiang glared.

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

Why do I feel that the people in the Jiang family are a bit unreasonable, and they like to bend their elbows outward?

Lin Jiangnian suddenly understood Jiang Shaoan's feelings a little bit.

Seeing that Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything, Jiang Yuxiang also restrained his expression slightly, looked at Lin Jiangnian, and sighed: "Next, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm?"

"How are you going to deal with the two of them?"

"I haven't thought about it yet..."

"I haven't thought about it yet?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang glared at him and said angrily: "Why didn't you think about the consequences when you provoked the girl before? Don't tell me, you are going to let Liu Su down?"

"Of course not!" Lin Jiangnian shook his head.

"I don't think you dare!"

Jiang Yuxiang glared at her and warned, "If you dare to abandon me, I'll break your legs!"

Lin Jiangnian wondered, "Am I this kind of person in my aunt's eyes?"

"I'll warn you first!"

Jiang Yuxiang snorted, "I like Liu Su very much. She's pretty and polite... Anyway, I recognize this nephew's wife. If you dare to treat her badly, I won't forgive you!"

Lin Jiangnian said, "What about the kite?"

"The kite is naturally me..."

Jiang Yuxiang spoke subconsciously, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, raised his eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian, suspiciously, "Wait, have you been planning this for a long time?"

"Huh?"

"You stinky boy... do you want to get both sisters?!"

"Am I right?!"

"..."
