Chapter 149 Persuasion
Too lazy to pay attention to this man, Lei Qing'er turned around and wanted to leave.

But how could He Nuo retreat in such a difficult way?She dodged and blocked Lei Qing'er's way, and said with a smile: "Don't think you can't tell me, just run away. In fact, you also think what I said is very reasonable, don't you?"

Frowning, Lei Qing'er raised her hand and attacked He Nuo, causing him to back away in a hurry.When he turned around again, he found that Lei Qing'er had disappeared.Clapping his palms angrily, He Nuo said dejectedly: "It's really troublesome to chase a woman who knows martial arts!"

In the past few days, Shaoyao didn't know what was wrong, she was always pestering her eldest grandson Jingrong to go shopping.In the end, Changsun Jingrong couldn't resist her, so he agreed to accompany her for half a day.But after walking for a long time, she didn't see anything Shaoyao really wanted to buy, which made Changsun Jingrong suspicious.

Casually looking at the shops on both sides of the street, Changsun Jingrong asked casually, "Shaoyao, you are the one who has been with me the longest among these few people. You should know that I don't like people lying to me, right?"

Heart skipped a beat in panic, Shaoyao smiled and said: "Of course the servant knows. In fact, not to mention Miss, even the servant feels like being cheated. But sometimes, things are not so absolute, and it depends on It depends on the situation."

"Oh, for example?"

"For example, it's good to go out and take you, because you want to help the other party!"

Changsun Jingrong stopped suddenly and stared at Shao Yao until the latter's forehead was dripping with sweat, then she looked away lightly and said indifferently: "It seems that you really have something to hide from me. Now that I have found out , let’s get straight to the point, what are you guys plotting?”

"The servants dare not plan anything. The only expectation in their hearts is that you can be happy again!" Shaoyao looked anxiously at her eldest grandson Jingrong and said, "Since you returned to Beijing, your smiles have become less and less, and you are silent. There are more and more times, and we can only watch you running around and tired, but there is nothing we can do. The only thing the servants think about now is to hope that the young lady can show her beauty again and stop being tired by the past!"

With a soft sigh, Changsun Jingrong himself knew that the people around him would not have any intention of harming him.It's just that she still felt suspicious of Shao Yao and others' sudden change of attitude, so she asked: "Then what are you planning to bring me here today?"

Scratching the back of her head, Shao Yao looked left and right, and after seeing a figure, she smiled and said: "You may not listen to what the servants say, but you should listen to the advice someone gives you!"

Following Shaoyao's gaze, Changsun Jingrong also looked over, and the moment she saw Mr. Zilin's figure, she understood everything.

Seeing the man getting closer and closer, Changsun Jingrong turned his head, wanting to teach his maid a lesson, but Shaoyao, who was so excited, had already slipped away, not giving her a chance to scold him in the street.

"Jing Rong, don't come here without any problems."

Changsun Jingrong's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Please don't call me by my name outside."

Although the eldest grandson Jingrong's attitude was not very friendly, Mr. Zi Lin didn't take it seriously at all, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with me around, I won't let the things you want to keep secret be leaked."

"When everyone has a hundred secrets, I won't bet my wealth and life." Changsun Jingrong finished speaking in a deep voice, turned around and walked back.As he walked, he thought in his heart that he must teach those guys a lesson when he goes back.

But Mr. Zi Lin finally met his eldest grandson Jingrong, how could he see the opportunity slip away so easily?Naturally, he followed closely behind his eldest grandson Jingrong, and said, "It would be strange for anyone to see the world-famous Mr. Zi Lin chasing after an old woman. Don't tell me you won't be afraid of revealing your identity?"

This bastard dared to threaten himself!
The eldest grandson Jingrong stopped suddenly, looked at Mr. Zi Lin bitterly, and asked, "Then what exactly do you want!"

Raising his arms calmly, Mr. Zilin pointed forward: "There is a tea pavilion in a small courtyard over there. It was opened by an old friend of mine. It is safe and hidden. We can go and sit there."

Changsun Jingrong could feel the strange gazes of the people around him, so he had no choice but to go to the tea pavilion first.

But it was only when Changsun Jingrong came to the inside of the tea pavilion that he realized that this place is really a wonderful place, surrounded by small bridges and flowing water, pavilions, terraces and buildings, which is very elegant.If you don't say that this is a tea pavilion, people might think that this is the living room of some hermit.

A middle-aged man in a black and white robe walked over quickly after seeing Mr. Zilin, and said with a smile, "Sir, you are really on time. The room is ready for the two of you, please come inside."

Nodding politely to the man, Mr. Zilin turned around and looked at the eldest grandson Jingrong behind him, and said, "The Cuiqing tea here is a must. You can try it later."

What kind of tea, she didn't want to drink it, she just wanted to hold on to this guy and slip away quickly!

Changsun Jingrong didn't bother to pay attention to Mr. Zilin, turned his head to the other side, and looked at the scenery pretendingly.

And her awkward expression just made Mr. Zilin shake his head amusedly.

Sitting in a room next to the water, Mr. Zilin ordered something familiar, then asked the middle-aged man to leave and closed the door.

Holding his chin with one hand, the eldest grandson Jingrong said half-sneering half-seriously: "I think that person just now must be very strange. What kind of friend did Mr. Zi Lin bring here today? It's neither a young talent nor a A beautiful woman, not to mention an important official of the imperial court. Maybe they will be cruel and think that I am your elder!"

Facing the deliberate provocation of grandson Jingrong, Mr. Zi Lin said with a smile: "I never judge a person by their appearance. When looking at a person, it depends on her heart, not her appearance. Appearance will grow old one day. Pursue appearance Being undefeated for a long time is the most stupid."

Cursing his lips, Changsun Jingrong said disdainfully: "You say that now, but if I were really an old woman, I don't believe you would still be so persevering. You men, don't worry about what you say, you still like young people in your heart." Beautiful!"

After the words fell, there was a knock on the door. It was the man just now who came in with tea and exquisite snacks, carefully arranged them for the two, and then left quietly.

Seeing the man's actions just now, Changsun Jingrong said: "In my opinion, this should be the boss of the tea pavilion. It's really amazing to let the boss arrange tea utensils for you with his own hands."

Putting the teacup in front of the eldest grandson Jingrong, Mr. Zilin smiled and said, "We are all friends, so I don't care about that anymore. However, I have heard about Miss Xue's family. It must be your masterpiece."

Playing casually with the cup in front of him, Changsun Jingrong said, "Don't talk nonsense about things that have no evidence."

"I have to say, you did a great job, but Xue's family is still like ants on a hot pot, with no clue. It's just..." Mr. Zi Lin thought for a moment before saying, "Don't tire yourself out. "

After taking a sip of tea, Changsun Jingrong said meaninglessly, "I am very happy now that I can do what I like."

"But these are all imposed by you yourself. Are you really happy? Or is it an obsession in your heart?"

Looking up at Mr. Zilin's eyes, Changsun Jingrong said resolutely: "This is not an obsession, but a belief, the reason that supports people to go on. Maybe Mr. Zilin doesn't know this feeling, after all, you are as respected as you are." The characters may have gotten rid of this kind of boring problem."

"You are wrong, I also have obsessions in my heart." Mr. Zilin smiled lonely, and said slowly, "I used to think that I would spend my whole life alone, just like my master. There is nothing wrong with going through life. But then I found out that I have someone I care about. Seeing her unhappy, I want to do everything I can to make her smile again. Seeing her happy, I feel that my own The sky also turned azure blue. Gradually, my heart no longer belongs to me, and my life has a new meaning. Jingrong, you are very smart, tell me, what kind of feeling is this?"

Looking down at the cup in front of him, Changsun Jingrong couldn't believe his ears.What is this, a confession?It's just that in front of such an old face, how can he still say these words tenderly? !
Seeing the eldest grandson Jingrong's silence, Mr. Zilin smiled gently: "You don't need to feel any pressure. I just said this because I don't want to make myself feel regretful."

Rubbing the surface of the teacup with his fingers, no matter what Changsun Jingrong thought, he felt that this guy seemed to be teasing him.But the dignified Mr. Lin, why are you teasing a married woman?It doesn't make sense.

Biting his lip, Changsun Jingrong looked at Mr. Zi Lin inquisitively, frowned and said, "You...are you trying to amuse me?"

"Jingrong, do you think I'm the kind of person who is joking?" Mr. Zilin sat up straight and said seriously, "I mean what I say! But, you don't want you to respond, After all, this is just my wishful thinking. But I hope you can give me a chance to take care of you by your side and help you solve your problems."

Raising his eyebrows and looking at Mr. Zi Lin inquiringly, Changsun Jingrong wanted to see something from it.But after looking at it carefully, I found nothing except the gradually deepening eyes.

Biting her red lips, Changsun Jingrong suddenly smiled and said, "I don't have the heart to think about others now, I can just clean up my own mess. Helian Zilin, it doesn't matter what you just said is true. Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s fake or not, I don’t want to listen to it a second time, I don’t want to cause myself more trouble.”

Leaning back, Mr. Zilin smiled wistfully, and said, "You are really a deserted woman. I thought that going all out once would make you change differently, but now I realize that the most ridiculous thing is actually Myself. It's me, I overestimated my position in your heart. "

Hearing this, Changsun Jingrong kindly "reminded" and said: "Don't forget, I still have a husband in name. If you do this, aren't you afraid that Sima Xukong will come to trouble you?"

"He's already come to trouble me," Mr. Zi Lin said, raising his eyebrows to look at his eldest grandson Jingrong, "and, more than once."

His eyes changed a few times, Changsun Jingrong's expression darkened, and he asked, "You mean, he has already found me?"

"Otherwise? Why do you think Xue Lingruo's scandal can spread outside the city?" Mr. Zi Lin didn't seem to realize what kind of impact such words had on his eldest grandson Jingrong, and he still said leisurely, "I have to say that the Ninth Prince is really capable in this regard. Even the Xue family was played by him. However, I really shouldn't talk about him. When you mention Sima Xukong, your eyes are different. gone."

Meeting Mr. Zi Lin's playful gaze, Changsun Jingrong said, "If he finds me, how long do you think I can be free?"

"Let's not mention him now, shall we?" Mr. Zilin smiled faintly and said, "I just want to talk about what I can do for you. I know you hate Xue Lingruo, but why did you get along with him? She has a grudge?"

Unconsciously recalling the scene back then, Changsun Jingrong frowned and said: "It's all over, I don't want to bring it up again. Anyway, I am at odds with her!"

"You hate someone for a reason. So, what do you want her to do? Ruin her reputation?"

With a sneer, Changsun Jingrong said: "Even if she loses her reputation, the Xue family behind Xue Lingruo will support her for the rest of her life. If the Xue family also collapses, Xue Lingruo will be traumatized and be able to get what she deserves." punish!"

Looking at Changsun Jingrong's eyes ignited by anger, Mr. Zi Lin's voice was like a breeze penetrating through the forest, gently blowing over people's hearts, his words were light, but it made people feel like water, and said: "What happened?" , supporting your strong hatred? I think Xue Lingruo must have hurt someone you cherish, or taken away something you care about, right?"

Cherished people, things you care about?

Changsun Jingrong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Mr. Zi Lin thought too much, Xue Lingruo annoyed me with his words, and I am a very vengeful person, so I have to take revenge at all costs."

"You can't even convince yourself with such a reason." Mr. Zi Lin said, patting his eldest grandson Jingrong's shoulder lightly, "Actually, I can more or less guess that this matter must be related to the Ninth Prince. But if you Being able to say it openly proves that you no longer have his place in your heart. But you are covering it up and looking for excuses, what does this mean, I don't think I need to say it clearly. "

"I..." Changsun Jingrong straightened his waist, opening his mouth to defend himself.But looking at Mr. Zi Lin's knowing eyes, Changsun Jingrong felt that everything was in vain.

Lowering his eyes in desperation, Changsun Jingrong said: "I know how to do my own business."

"Then what's your plan next?" Mr. Zilin's topic always changed suddenly. One moment he was still talking about heartbroken topics, and the next second he calmly analyzed the situation, saying, "Xue Lingruo has become corrupted. The longer the rumor spreads, the more detrimental it will be to her. So far, she has not found the mastermind behind the scenes, but I think General Xue must have found a scapegoat, and when the time comes, he will use some means to cover up the matter. With such a turmoil, the Xue family cannot be shaken at all, what do you want to do next?"

Taking a deep breath, Changsun Jingrong said solemnly: "The Xue family can stop the rumor crisis this time, but it may not be able to stop the second time. I have already made arrangements, and there will be new crises waiting for Xue Lingruo. This time, I will Let her make a fool of herself at the royal feast, in front of the emperor and the empress dowager. Those in power will not sit idly by and watch someone offend their majesty, let alone, the other party is just a little girl who doesn't know the heights of the world. And this time , Xue Lingruo's 'famous name' will spread throughout Kyushu, I want to see how the Xue family will extend its tentacles to all parts of Kyushu!"

Looking at the radiant side face of the eldest grandson, Mr. Zilin smiled and said, "Your bet is a bit higher. If someone finds out that you are behind the scenes, you will be in trouble."

"It was already my mistake for you and Sima Xukong to discover my identity, so I won't let others have the opportunity to find out my flaws," Changsun Jingrong looked at Mr. Zilin calmly, and said, "Your Opinion, I have already mentioned it to my subordinates, in terms of disguise, I will definitely improve it. Maybe next time, you will not recognize me as an old woman."

"It's not safe to rely on disguise alone." Mr. Zilin shook his head and said, "The best way is to draw the attention of the Xue family to others, which can delay time and let you leave, and can Obfuscate and disconnect the clues from you."

Dragging his chin with his fingers, Changsun Jingrong murmured: "You are asking me to find a scapegoat too. The method is feasible, but who is more suitable..."

"Xue Lingruo is very suspicious. If she finds out that someone close to her betrayed her, I think she would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. In this case, you will definitely save a lot of effort."

Eyes narrowed, Changsun Jingrong said, "You mean Miss Chen? That woman is indeed loyal to Xue Lingruo, but she is a fool. It is difficult to make Xue Lingruo believe it completely. But you are right about one thing, If Xue Ling is extremely jealous of people around her betraying her, it seems that you have also investigated her."

"It's related to you, of course I have to check it carefully." After pouring a cup of tea for the eldest grandson Jingrong, Mr. Zilin said, "Although this Miss Chen is sincere to Xue Lingruo, there is something that easily arouses Xue Lingruo's taboo. , that is Ms. Chen's cousin, who is the empress's younger brother and sister. Although she doesn't move around on weekdays, the relationship will not change after all. As long as you do something about it, it will easily create a rift between Xue Lingruo and Ms. Chen. Then using it again will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.”

"It's a good idea," Changsun Jingrong nodded slowly, "It seems that this matter needs to be started as soon as possible, so as not to delay the progress."

"Don't worry Jingrong, I've already arranged this matter for you, the current Miss Chen must still wonder why she was suddenly rejected by Xue Lingruo."
