The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 18 The Uninvited Guest

She hurriedly took out the dagger she had hidden before from under the pillow, held it tightly in her hand, and looked at the black figure without blinking.

The black shadow hesitated outside for a moment before reaching out to lift the bed curtain.

Zuo Xiangning held the dagger in both hands and stabbed him hard.

The black figure was startled by Zuo Xiangning, grabbed her two wrists, and whispered: "It's me!"

Zuo Xiangning, who couldn't move, stared at her big eyes for a long time before she recognized the person, "Shi...Shiziye?"

She let out a long breath.

Ling Xiaosong took the dagger from her hand, which was glowing coldly, and looked at it, "Where did it come from?"

"I...I bought it." She stretched out her hand to grab it back.

Ling Xiao raised his hand to avoid it and put the dagger on the table next to him.

"How much did you pay for this piece of crap? You didn't even open the blade." Ling Xiao said.

"What do you mean a crappy thing?" Zuo Xiangning got off the bed, put on her shoes, carefully put the scabbard on the dagger, and whispered: "It cost me ten taels of silver."

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I'll give you a good one tomorrow."

"I don't want it." Zuo Xiangning lit a candle and placed it on the table by the window. She looked back at the man in black. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind. She stared at the man's slender eyes, no. He asked with certainty: "It was you last time?"

"What do you mean?" the man asked confused.

"Have you been here before?"

"When did I come here?" Ling Xiao looked at the dagger on the table: "It's not because someone entered your room, so you prepared the dagger for self-defense, right? What did he do to you? You actually want to Kill him?"

That night, it was dark, the man still had his face covered, and Zuo Xiangning didn't know what he looked like.

But thinking about the man's repeated emphasis not to talk outside, he changed the subject and asked, "How do you know I live here?"

"There is no place in the whole capital that I don't know about."

Zuo Xiangning looked at the arrogant man and asked, "I wonder if the prince came here in the middle of the night. Is there something urgent?"

Ling Xiao was secretly amazed when he saw the little woman who was not even taller than his shoulders, wearing a white robe, with her hair loose, and wearing a pair of pink embroidered shoes. She didn't have the slightest shyness of a woman, but was very generous on the other hand.

In the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone in the same room, and she was not afraid at all?
Zuo Xiangning saw that he was staring at her closely, and she also lowered her head to look at herself. She found that her figure was bumpy under the thin material of her clothes. Her face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly turned around to pick up the coat next to her and put it on her back. I draped it on him and cursed in my heart, "Pervert!"
The man didn't notice anything strange about her. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zuo Xiangning, "Sign on it and put your thumbprint on it."

Zuo Xiangning fastened the buttons, then turned around to take it and take a closer look.

"5000 taels?" Zuo Xiangning glanced at him and handed the thin paper back, "I told you, I won't sell it."

"That mountain in your hand is just a stone. Even if you give it to King Chu, King Chu will not dare to do anything." Ling Xiao did not reach out to take it, "I am doing it for your own good. If you are involved, , I’m afraid it will bring fatal disaster to you and your Zuo family.”

Zuo Xiangning was slightly confused by what he said.

It was precisely because she was afraid of causing trouble for the Zuo family that she did not dare to tell Jiang and Zuo Zimo.

"Otherwise, I will give you another 5000 taels." Ling Xiao said, "There are not many women in the entire Jin and Southern Dynasties who have 1 taels of private money."

Zuo Xiangning thought for a while and said: "5000 taels per year."

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"I know what's on that mountain, and I also know its value." Zuo Xiangning whispered: "I also told you yesterday that I originally planned to share half of it with you, but I know that I don't have this ability, and I also I don’t want to cause trouble to my family, so I don’t want this mountain, but I want 5000 taels of silver every year. If you mine it for two years, I want two years of silver. If you mine it for five years, I want five years. .”

5000 taels was not a big deal to Ling Xiao.

He nodded and said, "Okay."

"Don't let other people know about this matter." Zuo Xiangning added: "I will buy the mountain next to it." "I will buy it for you." Ling Xiao simply did it to the end, "I will give you the land deed tomorrow. send over."

Zuo Xiangning took the candle and went to the study next to her. She sat at the table, took out paper and pen, and started writing the agreement.

"What I promise you, I will definitely do it." Ling Xiao looked at her beautiful handwriting and said, "It's best not to leave any traces on such things, so as not to fall into the hands of malicious people and cause unnecessary trouble. .”

"The problem is that you changed too quickly," Zuo Xiangning said without raising her head: "During the day, you promised to be half the same with me, and then you changed again in just a few hours."

"It won't change now." Ling Xiao said.

Zuo Xiangning raised her head and glanced at him. The man's eyes were bright and inexplicably convincing.

She tore up the half-written agreement, "Then it belongs to Prince Yi."

"Then I'm leaving." Ling Xiao nodded with satisfaction at her crispness, turned around and walked out.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zuo Xiangning hurriedly stood up and followed him, saying politely: "Master, please go slowly."

The man in front stopped when he heard this, and Zuo Xiangning suddenly bumped into his back. Her nose was sore from the bump, and she almost shed tears.

"Why did you stop suddenly?" Zuo Xiangning rubbed her nose aggrievedly.

"I thought you asked me to walk slowly because I still had something to say." Ling Xiao looked at her wrinkled features with a smile in his eyes.

"What I said about walking slowly is that you walk slowly on the road and be careful not to be discovered. Even if you are discovered, please don't say you know me." Zuo Xiangning walked to the north window and opened it a little. , waiting for him to leave from the window.

"I'm going to the door." Ling Xiao stood at the door and opened the door. "When I talk to you, it's an honest matter."

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly ran over and pressed the door of the room, whispering: "You went out of my room in the middle of the night, did you want to harm me?"

"Then if I climbed out of the back window of your room in the middle of the night, wouldn't I be harming you?" Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Zuo Xiangning also raised her eyebrows, "Isn't that how you came in?"

"When I came in, I had something to discuss and was forced to do so, but when I went out, I was honest." The man said with his hands behind his back.

Zuo Xiangning looked at his condescending look, blinked her eyes, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She was very prepared to meet him, and they only met five times in total, but each time he gave her a different feeling.

Which one is the real him?
"Are you leaving or not? I'm going to bed." Zuo Xiangning yawned and said, "If you don't want to leave, just sit here. There are tea and snacks on the table. When it gets dark, I'll let you go Someone will take you out in a sedan chair from the main gate."

Ling Xiao looked at the woman walking into the inner room, slightly startled.

This woman said she would just leave him here and leave him alone?

Zuo Xiangning really doesn't want to care about him anymore. What kind of person this prince is has nothing to do with her.

She was feeling depressed about the gold mine that was gone just a few days after she got it.

She originally thought that this gold mine would be her reliance after her rebirth, but after only a few days, she had to change hands. Fortunately, she still had 5000 taels of silver to earn in a year.

From the day she was reborn, she would lie in bed every night with random thoughts and couldn't sleep for a while.

But she walked a lot that day and was frightened. She was really tired, and after a while, she really fell asleep.

The man stood outside for a while. When he heard the rustling sounds in the inner room, he gently opened the door, walked out, and closed the door gently.

Zuo Xiangning got up in the morning and asked someone to tell Zhang Rui's family that she wanted to see Zhang Rui.

As soon as she finished her breakfast, someone came from Zuo Zimo's yard and asked her to come over.

"The third young master said there is something urgent, please ask the fourth girl to come over immediately."
