My apprentice is not easy

Chapter 167
"……fine."

Li Xin did not expect that Lin Qingwan would still be worried about herself.

And he came back with a marriage decree...

Although there are reasons, what if Lin Qingwan is unwilling?

Before, Lin Qingwan was forced to have a marriage contract with a dude because of her parents.

Escaping marriage was still destroyed by him.

Now, another marriage contract was placed on Lin Qingwan, and it was still reached without her knowledge.

Would she really be willing?
Li Xin felt that if he were himself, after experiencing it once, he might be very resistant to this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Li Xin hid the imperial decree under his sleeve, and walked inside.

He had to find a suitable time to tell Lin Qingwan about it.

As he was walking, he suddenly remembered something, and told the attendants beside him.

"Have someone prepare lunch."

He has almost eaten in the palace.

But looking at Lin Qingwan's appearance, it should be that she has waited until now and has not eaten.

Lin Qingwan followed Li Xin's footsteps.

"Your Majesty didn't make things difficult for you, did you? Zuo Cheng... I'm sorry, I got you in trouble."

Li Xin turned to look at her.

"The matter in Zuo Cheng's mansion is over, and there will be a conclusion soon. Zuo Cheng should...doomed."

Lin Qingwan was taken aback.

"Really?"

Your Majesty, are you actually on the side of the Sixth Prince?

"real."

Li Xin replied and continued to walk inside.

Lin Qingwan chased after her.

But it felt like Li Xin was walking faster and faster, bigger and bigger.

So she asked him suspiciously.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?"

Li Xin's steps froze for a moment, then stopped.

"The matter in Zuo Cheng's mansion is over. In the afternoon, you and I will go to Cui Shangshu's mansion."

"it is good!"

After getting off the flower boat that day, Lin Qingwan accepted Cui Shangshu's daughter Cui Xinle's request before leaving.

But it has never been completed.

Before, it was because he was imprisoned by the Lin family all the time, and later, it was because of the affairs of Zuo Cheng's mansion, and he was afraid that he would be involved in Cui's mansion after he went.

So it dragged on and on, until now.

Now that the matter in Zuo Cheng's mansion is over, it is time to return the things.

Thoughts were spinning in Lin Qingwan's mind, and when she looked up, she saw that Li Xin had gone far away.

"..."

You went to the palace, are you so hungry?

That's horrible!
……

The sixth prince is here.

As soon as this news spread to Cui's mansion, the whole mansion was thrown into chaos.

Ever since the sixth prince robbed the marriage, everyone in the capital has been discussing this matter openly and secretly.

At the same time, they are also paying close attention to the movements of the sixth prince.

So they all knew that Li Xin and Lin Qingwan had stayed in the Sixth Prince's Mansion for a while and never went out.

But now, the sixth prince suddenly visited the Cui Mansion.

He also brought the other protagonist of the incident, Lin Qingwan, with him.

What is their... purpose of coming here?
The people in the Cui Mansion didn't know, but they couldn't help but worry.

In case, what bad news does it bring?
What if Zuo Cheng's mansion finds out about this sudden visit, and this will implicate Cui's mansion?
What if... too many what ifs.

Given the situation of the sixth prince at this time, they really couldn't help but worry.

Cui Shangshu hurriedly came out from the residence with a forced smile.

His gaze stayed on Lin Qingwan for a moment, and then he saluted Li Xin.

"Your Highness Six!"

Li Xin hummed lightly.

So Cui Shangshu straightened up, maintained a forced smile, and spoke.

"It's the first time that the Sixth Highness came to the old minister's place. I don't know what His Highness...why?"

Li Xin saw his reluctance, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he also smiled.

"What? Cui Shangshu won't invite me in?"

Cui Shangshu was unwilling in his heart, but he didn't have the courage.

"Where is it, His Highness Sixth... please come inside!"

Li Xin laughed lightly.

Take the lead and walk towards the mansion.

Lin Qingwan hurriedly followed, and when passing by Cui Shangshu, she even smiled at him.

The smile on Cui Shangshu's face froze immediately.

He felt that he immediately welcomed two plague gods for his family...

Li Xin and Li Xin, led by Cui Shangshu, walked to the living room of Cui's house.

Li Xin sat at the head, and Lin Qingwan stood beside him.

Cui Shangshu ordered people to serve tea, and sat down in the first place by himself.

Then, the whole person froze on the chair.

The whole face was filled with bitterness.

Li Xin was silent for a moment, and called out.

"Master Cui."

"Hey! Here!"

Cui Shangshu was shocked, and answered in a raised voice.

Li Xin: "..."

He had heard before that this Cui Shangshu was capable, but his temper was too soft and he was easy to be taken away by others.

From this point of view, it is not a lie.

"Cui Shangshu, don't be nervous. I'm here this time to give you something."

"Dong, something?"

Cui Shangshu couldn't speak well.

He is not familiar with the sixth prince.

Who could it be, please send him something from the sixth prince?
Cui Shangshu couldn't think of it for a moment, and then he became nervous uncontrollably.

This thing...is it not dangerous?
"Well, a jade pendant."

Li Xin said, looking at Lin Qingwan who was at the side.

Lin Qingwan got the order, took out a box, opened it, walked to Cui Shangshu, and put the box on the table.

Cui Shangshu looked down and was immediately stunned.

"This, this... this is..."

Cui Shangshu stood up while muttering.

In the expression, the tension of the previous second was completely gone, only disbelief remained.

And... pain.

He reached out and picked up the white jade pendant in the box.

Put it in front of your eyes and look carefully.

Then, the body trembled uncontrollably.

He turned to look at Lin Qingwan.

"This jade pendant is...you, have you met Le'er?"

"fun……"

A female voice appeared at the door, and then a woman hurried in.

"Where is Le'er? Has she come back? Where? Where is she?"

Her gaze swept back and forth in the hall, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see.

Eyes are suddenly wet.

Cui Shangshu didn't care about anything else, he walked towards the woman holding the jade pendant.

"Ma'am, ma'am!"

Following his shout, Madam Cui set her eyes on the jade pendant.

In an instant, tears rolled down his eyes.

Afterwards, Mrs. Cui shed tears and walked in front of Lin Qingwan.

"Girl, tell me, Leer... is she still alive?"

Her tone was full of caution.

Lin Qingwan couldn't help showing bitterness in her heart.

"She asked me to tell you."

Lin Qingwan adjusted her tone and repeated what Cui Xinle had left.

"Daughter is not filial, go first, wait for the next life... to be the daughter of parents..."

After the words fell, Mrs. Cui's eyes widened immediately.

Only tears flowed silently.

Cui Shangshu walked up in a few steps.

The previous cowardly attitude was completely gone, and his face was hostile.

"How did she die? Tell me, no matter who killed Le'er, I will...make him pay the price!"
