son, don't mess around

Chapter 255 Miss Xu
Jiang Mansion, in the alley outside the back door.

Two sneaky figures stood there.

Judging from the clothes on their bodies, they look like a pair of master and servant.

The leader is a handsome-looking... man?
He is wearing a blue man's robe, and he has quite the temperament of a rich man. His face is covered, but he can still see a bit of exquisiteness. His small and exquisite facial features also seem to be a bit like a woman?
But when he saw the plain, flat chest under the other party's robe, he felt a bit more confident.

Indeed, he looks more like a more delicate-looking man!

Behind her was a pretty maid, who was carefully looking around, muttering a little worriedly: "Miss, is this really okay?"

"His Royal Highness will really meet us?"

The handsome-looking 'man' snorted: "That's natural, he will definitely see it."

"Oh……"

Xiaolu was a little worried, raised her head and looked ahead, feeling uneasy: "Miss, if we run out, what if the second young master finds out..."

The two of them were Xu Lan and the maid Xiao Lu beside him.

Today, the two of them took advantage of the lax supervision of the house and sneaked out quietly, and came to Jiang's house, wanting to see Prince Lin.

Xiao Lu didn't want to come out, but was forcefully dragged here by her own lady. At this time, her face was full of worry, sadness, and fear.

"Don't worry, even if you are discovered, I will be there to protect you."

Xu Lan disapproved, glanced at the sneaky maid next to her, and said angrily: "Why are you so afraid? We both wore makeup to disguise ourselves today, no one will recognize us."

"But……"

Xiao Lu was still a little anxious, and when she was about to say something, a maid from the Jiang Mansion came out from the back door.

"You two, come in with your servants."

Hearing this, Xu Lan's eyes lit up slightly: "Is that guy at home?"

The maids in the mansion didn't know why. The two people outside the door wanted to see His Highness the Crown Prince today. Although they didn't know the origin, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to meet, they must be his distinguished guests.

The maid nodded and led Xu Lan and the maid into the Jiang Mansion through the back door.

"Is this the Jiang Mansion? It's really extraordinary."

Xu Lan followed the maid and looked at Jiang Mansion.The Jiang family in Jiangnan has strong financial resources and is also extraordinary in Beijing. Even this mansion in Beijing is comparable to her Xu family in Linzhou.

The Xu family's current status in Linzhou was all thanks to the support of Prince Lin.If it weren't for Prince Lin's care for the Xu family over the years, the Xu family would never have achieved what they have today.

But now...

As if thinking of something, Xu Lan's eyes dimmed, and then became a little angry.

I really don’t know what my grandfather, father, brother, and others are thinking in their minds...

After sighing deeply, Xu Lan gathered her thoughts and stepped into Jiang Mansion. For some reason, she suddenly became nervous.

It's an indescribable feeling!
There was an unconcealable feeling of apprehension, a bit of irrepressible excitement and joy, and an inexplicable shyness.

It's hard to describe.

I haven’t seen that guy for a long time. I wonder how he is doing. Does he still remember me...

That bastard, maybe he has forgotten her a long time ago, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Lan gritted her teeth and couldn't help but ask about the maid who led the way.

"Does your Prince Lin, Prince Lin, live here?"

The maid didn't know why, so she nodded and replied: "My master is His Royal Highness's biological uncle. This Jiang Mansion can be regarded as His Highness's other home. His Highness will naturally live here after entering the capital..."

"Is there anyone else besides him?"

"Yes, His Highness will be accompanied by many escort maids when he enters the capital this time."

"Who are there?"

"This……"

The maid shook her head: "I don't know, slave."

Xu Lan nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the maid had already led Xu Lan through the long and narrow corridor to a living room in the backyard.

The maid led Xu Lan and the two of them to sit down, and poured hot tea for Xu Lan: "Wait a moment, His Highness will be here shortly."

After saying that, the maid left first.

Xu Lan and the maid Xiao Lu were left, looking around curiously.

The cold wind was blowing outside the hospital. Xiao Lu glanced at the slightly unnatural expression of the young lady beside her. She seemed to have thought of something and whispered: "Miss, are you nervous?"

"nervous?!"

Xu Lan's voice became louder: "I, why should I be nervous?"

"You are about to meet Your Highness, whom the young lady has been thinking about so much. Aren't you nervous?"

Xu Lan looked a little confused and glared at her angrily: "What the hell are you talking about? When did I miss you so much?"

Xiao Lu was about to say something, but saw her young lady staring at him with an unkind expression. She quickly shut up, muttering in her heart.

My young lady has been obsessed with Prince Lin ever since she arrived in the capital. She is always concerned about his life and death, and she insists on running out to meet him... Isn't this what she is thinking about?
"Humph."

Xu Lan's expression was unnatural, and she hummed softly: "Ben, I'm just afraid that he will die... He hasn't fulfilled the bet I made with him, and he can't die now..."

"I just came here to see if he is still alive. If he is really dead... forget it, it doesn't matter. If he dies, there will be one less scourge in the world..."

Listening to her young lady's increasingly harsh words, Xiao Lu sighed to herself.Just when they were about to say something, a cold voice came from behind the two of them.

"Why do I hear someone from so far away cursing my prince to death?"

As soon as the voice came out, the two of them were startled, and they turned around. Not far behind them, stood a handsome young man with extraordinary temperament.

He has good facial features, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. Perhaps because of the dusty journey to Beijing, he lacks the elegance of a scholar and has more of a chivalrous spirit.

Zheng appeared not far away, looking at the two of them.

"Shi, His Highness the Crown Prince?!"

Xiao Lu was startled, and when she turned around to see the figure behind her, she was slightly startled.

This, is this His Royal Highness Prince Lin? !
After not seeing each other for a long time, Xiaolu blinked, why did he feel that His Highness... was different?

It seems, it looks better?
Xu Lan stared blankly at the familiar figure that appeared in his sight. It was still the same familiar face, but somehow, it seemed to have changed a lot.

Seems to have grown taller?

It also seems to have a bit more temperament that it didn’t have before...

We haven’t seen each other for half a year, but it seems like many years have passed.

For some reason at this moment, Xu Lan's heart tightened, and an inexplicable sense of tension surged into her heart.

Even she herself didn't know what was going on.

She obviously has nothing to fear tomorrow, not to mention she still holds this guy's crucial 'handle', so why should she be nervous?
But she was really nervous, her palms clenched subconsciously, and her fists were covered in sweat.

Inexplicably, I feel like I'm reunited with my lover after a long separation...

Xu Lan quickly shook her head to get rid of these messy thoughts.

What the hell, how could she think that these things were not available?

Taking a deep breath, she seemed to find some sense of familiarity when she saw a familiar smile on that familiar face. Her nervousness weakened a lot, and she softly snorted: "It would be better if I died, this is what I want to do." There will be one less scourge in the world..."

Lin Jiangnian looked at the master and servant in front of him, Xu Lan and the maid named Xiaolu beside her.

We haven’t seen each other for half a year, and Xu Lan still hasn’t changed much...she is still dressed and dressed more like before.

When she was in Linzhou, Xu Lan had a fiery personality and dressed more neutrally.Coupled with Yima Pingchuan's physical characteristics, at first glance, he looks exactly like a man.

Of course, it also has something to do with the reason why she sneaks out of the house from time to time.

But today she...

Lin Jiangnian was stunned: "What is that painted on your face?"

Xu Lan seemed to have some makeup on her face, which made her look a little different from before.

"Hmph, it's not your fault!"

Xu Lan spoke.

"Blame me?"

Lin Jiangnian was confused. What does it have to do with him?
The maid Xiaolu on the side explained softly: "Miss was afraid of being discovered, so she disguised herself before coming to see you, Your Highness..."

"Afraid of being discovered?"

Lin Jiangnian was even more surprised: "Why are you afraid of being discovered?"

How does this sound like an affair?

"Naturally because..."

Xiaolu subconsciously opened her mouth, but was quickly covered by Xu Lan standing beside her.

"Xiao Lu, you don't have anything to do here. You can go out and play first." Xiao Lu glanced at his lady aggrievedly, said 'oh', got up and left the living room.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Xiao Lu who was walking out, thoughtfully.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be alive."

After driving Xiao Lu away, Xu Lan looked at Lin Jiangnian again with an unnatural look on her face. She looked away slightly and snorted: "I thought you would die on the road."

The familiar tone is indeed the speaking style of Miss Xu.

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "What? Do you want me to die?"

"I don't."

Xu Lan pouted.

"Then you just cursed me?"

"Can't you?"

Xu Lan glared at him lightly.

"Have I offended you?"

"Yes."

"tell me the story?"

Lin Jiangnian walked closer and looked at the vaguely familiar Miss Xu in front of him. It seemed that nothing had changed.

Haven't even touched the development?
"Humph!"

Xu Lan seemed to have regained some confidence and glared at him: "You have been gone for half a year without any news. It is as if you are dead. Do you know how worried I...my father and others are about you?"

"Is your father worried about me?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her in astonishment, and then said, "Didn't I tell you everything? It may take a long time for me to return to Beijing this time. It could be as short as half a year, or as long as one or two years..."

At this point, Lin Jiangnian remembered something: "By the way, why did you come to the capital?"

"Play!"

"Play?"

"Yup!"

Xu Lan glanced at Lin Jiangnian and hummed: "If you can come, can't I come?"

"I'm here to do business."

"I'm here to play!"

Xu Lan pouted: "After you left Linjiang City, there was no one to play with this girl. I was bored, so I came to the capital..."

For some reason, Lin Jiangnian could hear a hint of grievance in her tone?

Xu Lan was indeed aggrieved.

This guy left immediately, and there was no news after leaving Linjiang City.

She came to the capital quietly, hoping to give this guy a surprise. Unexpectedly, something happened to him on the way and he almost lost his life.But she was so worried and anxious that she finally found out that this guy was still alive. Now that she saw him, she felt inexplicably angry.

Can't tell.

"I see."

Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly, looked at Miss Xu in front of him, and said with a smile, "Is the capital fun?"

"It's not fun at all."

Xu Lan pouted, her tone a little dull.

She hasn't been out much since she came to the capital...

However, seeing Lin Jiangnian's still familiar face, it felt like he had returned to Prince Lin's Mansion.The original tension in her heart and the sense of alienation she had not seen for a long time gradually disappeared.

I haven’t seen him for a long time, but this guy hasn’t changed yet.

This made Xu Lan feel relieved.

The small grievances that had been accumulated in the past also disappeared.

Then, she grabbed Lin Jiangnian and asked about her experiences along the way.

"By the way, what happened on your way to Beijing this time? I heard that you are about to die? Is that true? What's going on? Come on, tell me..."

Xu Lan asked all the questions.

She was someone who couldn't hide her worries. Now that Lin Jiangnian was not alienated from her, she couldn't wait to know what happened during this period.

"Calm down first, I'll tell you slowly."

Lin Jiangnian had expected that Miss Xu would be curious about these things, so he calmed her down first and then slowly told her about it.

However, Lin Jiangnian also gave a brief explanation and mostly brushed off what happened.Even so, Xu Lan still heard the danger in it.

From the time he entered Xunyang City, he was assassinated and almost buried in a secret room, to being injured and then continuing to the capital, encountering various assassinations along the way, to almost dying at the hands of Uncle Shen Lingjun, a narrow escape...

Even if it was just a brief description, Xu Lan was still shocked by what he heard. His eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.

Xu Lan is different from other women. She has had a strong personality since she was a child, and she has also been extremely yearning for the world. She is much more tolerant of fighting and killing than ordinary women.But now that she heard Lin Jiangnian's description, she still felt extremely thrilling and terrified.

"It's not easy for you to reach the capital alive. I'm so lucky..."

Xu Lan couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, if it weren't for my great fortune, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see my son today." Lin Jiang young smiled.

"The disaster has lasted for thousands of years, and I'm talking about you."

Xu Lan subconsciously retorted, but then thought of something again and said angrily: "Who is the person who sent people to assassinate you and almost killed you? Have you found out?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"Revenge!"

Xu Lan said angrily: "You were almost killed, how can you not avenge this?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at Xu Lan with an angry look on his face and sighed: "I can't retaliate!"

"Why?"

"The other party's background is too great!"

Xu Lan was surprised: "Is there anyone with a greater background than you, Prince Lin?"

"How not?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "My title as Prince Lin is only valid in Linzhou. After I leave Linzhou, how many people will take it seriously?"

When Xu Lan thought about it, it seemed to make sense...

During the time she came to the capital, she often heard people in the capital scolding Lin Jiangnian.

Although there were a lot of scoldings in Linjiang City before, I never expected them to be so unscrupulous in the capital city...

"Then you don't plan to take revenge? This doesn't sound like you?!" Xu Lan couldn't help but said.

"What do you think we should do?"

"Of course I have to take revenge, tooth for tooth!"

Xu Lan said matter-of-factly: "Since they sent people to assassinate you, then you should also send people to assassinate and take revenge, and reciprocate the favor!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at Miss Xu in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Xu still enjoys grudges and is brave and resourceful!"

"Hmph, that's not right!"

Xu Lan raised her face slightly proudly.

"Xu Nuxia's martial arts skills are unparalleled. How about taking revenge for this prince?"

"I won't go." Xu Lan refused without even thinking.

"Why?"

"Don't even think about tricking this girl into dying!"

Xu Lan snorted coldly and said angrily.

How could the person who could assassinate Prince Lin be an ordinary person?

If her three-legged cat skills are over, isn't that going to cost someone her head?
Although Miss Xu is naive, she is not stupid.

Mentioning this matter, Xu Lan quickly remembered something, and just as he was about to speak, a figure appeared in his sight.

"what?"

"Zhiyuan... girl?!"

"..."
