The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 258 You don’t deserve her name

Xiao Lianxi lowered her head and shrank in silence.

Xiao Yifeng couldn't help but said: "Ah Li."

"Shut up!" Tantai Lin said displeasedly: "You are not the one to call her Ah Li. Don't let me hear such a name again in the future!"

The sudden burst of strong air pressure caused the temperature in the entire room to drop a bit. It was clearly the height of summer in June, but the Xiao brothers and sisters felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar, with a chill all over their bodies.

Xiao Yifeng struggled to suppress the bitterness in her heart, and managed to smile and said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Miss Jing, I brought my sister-in-law here just to apologize to you!"

"No need!" Jing Li interrupted Xiao Yifeng and continued: "Brother Xiao gave me a lot of help when I got to know the Xiao family. No matter what, I will always keep this in mind!"

"But one code is another code. I just want to ask Miss Xiao something today. I also ask Brother Xiao not to get involved. Just listen from the sidelines!"

Xiao Yifeng suddenly looked sideways. He felt that the girl in front of him had changed. She was no longer the Ah Li he had seen in Qingzhou. The girl in front of him exuded a strong and iron-blooded aura that was exactly the same as King Changling. She was completely separated from the Jing Li in his memory. .

Xiao Yifeng did not dare to say any more words and lowered her hands, all kinds of bitterness suddenly welling up in her heart.

"Miss Xiao, please answer me, how can I not forgive you?"

Xiao Lianxi looked at the man lying lazily on the soft floor in front of her. The man next to her was indescribably tender and caring, and the jealousy in her heart could no longer be calmed down.

"Why? You have seen the scandals in my life. Do you know how important reputation is to a noble girl born into a famous family?"

Although the Dafeng Dynasty was said to be morally corrupt, her mother was born in the Cui family of Qinghe and had always been a role model for a well-known clan wife. Naturally, she had extremely strict requirements for her eldest daughter.

She had been raised as a wife of a famous clan since she was a child. To put it bluntly, if her grandfather was still alive, even the prince of the Tantai family would have to think carefully if he wanted to marry her.

It happened that my aunt at home was causing trouble. Taking advantage of the instability in Qingzhou when she first arrived, she actually tried to ruin her reputation, and even let a peasant girl like Jing Li see her.

After she and her brother returned home, her brother quietly dealt with the aunt, and her mother didn't know about it from beginning to end.

But she felt like a knot in her throat, fearing that one day someone would expose this matter and shatter the image she had built over the years.

Xiao Yifeng looked at her sister in disbelief: "You actually hold such hatred for Miss A. Jing?"

"She obviously saved you. If it weren't for her, don't you know what kind of desperate situation you would be in?"

He really didn't understand that his sister, who valued honor so much, could actually vent her anger on Jingli, her savior.

"Ha, rice rises and rice hates rice. I finally understood this today!" Jing Li sneered, and she said that every time she saw Xiao Lianxi, she always felt an inexplicable sense of alienation and disobedience. The reason for her love was Here it is!

Jing Li suddenly said with a cold look in his eyes: "Well, when we first arrived in Chang'an, the city gate master Bo obviously arranged for Jinzhong County, but in the end, we were replaced by Mayi halfway. This is also what you did, Miss Xiao. Bar?"

When Tantai Lin heard this, he immediately stabbed the two of them with eyes like cold knives. He explained why he changed the route to Mayi in the middle of the trip despite all the arrangements.

He thought that Jingli had taken a fancy to the terrain of Lao Beishan and bribed Li Xunying to choose it, so he didn't ask about it. He never thought that there was someone involved in the matter.

He was so cowardly that he actually dared to do something under his nose, and he didn't notice it yet.

Xiao Lianxi was heartbroken and gritted her teeth and said: "Your hometown is in Qingzhou. That place is in chaos, but you, a little peasant girl, can actually escape." "Qingzhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and you are a girl. I actually managed to escape bandits and refugees and get here with my tribe, shouldn’t I be afraid?”

"The world is changing, and people's hearts are not the same. What if you don't get what you want one day and use this to threaten me?"

"Shouldn't I end this hidden danger for myself? I'm just taking precautions for my own reputation. What's wrong with me?"

Coincidentally, after she arrived in Chang'an and heard the news of Qingzhou's fall, she gradually forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, the wet nurse came back that day and casually told an interesting story, saying that her nephew was on duty at the pass and unexpectedly saw people from a village who had fled from Qingzhou to Chang'an with their entire family, and a girl actually led the group.

After the wet nurse finished speaking, she subconsciously asked: "Girl, do you think this is strange enough?"

At that time, she had an inexplicable feeling that the girl leading the team was Jingli.

Then he asked Manager Chen to go and find out. If it was really Jingli, then they would be moved to Laobei Mountain where the Liao people often plundered.

She never thought that when Manager Chen went and came back to report, it was really Jing Li. She felt relieved at the foot of the old Beishan Mountain, feeling that no matter how powerful Jing Li was, he could still withstand the Liao people's cavalry.

Unexpectedly, on New Year's Eve, the old Beishan people killed the Liao people, which instantly panicked her. She began to feel that Jingli was getting stronger step by step, and it would not be so easy to get rid of her in the future.

"So, you conspired with Yang Shiyue to harm me?" Jing Li asked coldly.

"No!" Xiao Lianxi said sternly with tears on her face: "It's her, she forced me!"

"She said you should have died a long time ago, but you were still alive and well, making her and Princess Xiushan the laughingstock of Chang'an City!"

Yang Shiyue originally wanted to use Jing Bo'an to let Su into the mansion as a concubine, let Jing Li become the concubine of the mansion, and then replace her in the marriage.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Su refused to be a concubine to death, and even made Jing Boan lose face.

Seeing that this road was not feasible, Yang Shiyue heard that Xiao Lianyun had invited Jing Li to her birthday party.

She found Xiao Lianxi privately and asked Xiao Lianxi to conspire with her to scheme against Jingli.

Xiao Lianxi was suffering from a severe heart disease. When Yang Shiyue said this, she felt like she was sleeping on a pillow, which was exactly what he wanted.

But she was from a famous family after all, so she still didn't want people to think that she was a sinister person with such underhanded tactics, so she showed hesitation on her face, intending to wait for Yang Shiyue to coerce and induce her, and then reluctantly agreed to this. thing.

Unexpectedly, Yang Shiyue's next words instantly made her heart sink into an ice cellar.

"Miss Xiao, let's not tell secrets. I know that you want to marry into Prince Wei's palace. But just because you were kidnapped and almost sent to the Flower House in Qingzhou, do you think it's possible?"

Xiao Lianxi suddenly looked at Yang Shiyue with a pale face. Apart from her, Jing Li, and her eldest brother, not even her sister Xiao Lianyun knew about this matter, so how did Yang Shiyue know about it.

Yang Shiyue took in her expression and smiled in her heart. Of course, she had heard in her previous life that the eldest girl of the Xiao family had become the number one in the flower house, attracting countless princes and grandsons to fight over her.

After hearing this, Jing Li thought in her mind that Yang Shiyue was undoubtedly reborn, otherwise how could she know about Xiao Lianxi.

Tantai Lin had a stern look on her face. It seemed that she had misjudged her. This niece was a bit extraordinary!
