Chapter 165: Men Are Jealous
Seeing Shen Qingshu's face gradually becoming ugly, Lu Ji seemed to be unsatisfied. He turned to look at him again, with a sneer on his face, as if to deliberately irritate him: "A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman, but he can't get her, and he tosses and turns. I'm afraid that Mr. Shen will only toss and turn for the rest of his life."

Shen Qingshu smiled faintly: "Shen is not coveting the prince's person, I just can't stand you treating Miss Qin harshly."

He loves and pampers his little girl, so when would it be the turn of a little scholar to interfere?

Seeing Lu Ji's face darken, Qin Xiaoning hurriedly stopped Shen Qingshu and said, "Sir Shen, I have already told you that there is no need for others to interfere in the matter between me and the prince, so please don't say anything more."

"He's already getting married, and you're still deceiving yourself like this?" Facing Qin Xiaoning's endless protection of Lu Ji, Shen Qingshu gradually lost her mind: "A girl like you, are you really willing to be a slave to others for the rest of your life?"

Qin Xiaoning retorted angrily: "I am willing, it's none of your business."

If these two were allowed to continue arguing, Lu Ji would have to resort to violence in no time.

If the news gets out that the Crown Prince beat up a court official for his concubine in his mansion, she will really become a disaster.

The little white rabbit persona that I have worked so hard to build up over the years is about to be ruined.

Qin Xiaoning said something to Shen Qingshu, and finally made him shut up. Turning around, she saw Lu Ji provoking Shen Qingshu with a gloating look. Qin Xiaoning rolled her eyes at him secretly, still in a bad mood: "If you are happy to talk to others here, then I will go back by myself."

After saying that, she walked away.

Seeing Qin Xiaoning leaving him behind, Lu Ji followed her, not forgetting to glance at Shen Qingshu.

Then he followed Qin Xiaoning back to Qingsong Garden with the attitude of a winner.

The two of them walked in silence all the way. When they returned to Qingsong Garden, Lu Ji went to the main house, while Qin Xiaoning went back to her own back porch.

When Lu Ji saw that no one followed him, he couldn't help but frown. He sat on the chair for a while, but still couldn't help but stand up.

I went straight to her room. The door was open and the little girl was leaning on the bed reading a book.

Lu Ji walked into the room, sat down in front of her, and snatched the book from her hand. It was a boring storybook that described love stories.

Lu Ji lowered his eyes and glanced at it, then casually threw it aside and asked her, "Why are you angry with me?"

Qin Xiaoning was amused when she heard this and asked him, "When did I get angry with you?"

The man said, "Just now in front of that Shen, didn't you glare at me? And you were even mean to me?"

Qin Xiaoning rolled her eyes at him and said, "If I don't give you some strength, will you keep arguing with him endlessly? If we quarrel a few more times, I'm afraid you'll start fighting, right?"

I really want to beat up that guy named Shen.

He deserves to be beaten to death for liking his little girl.

Lu Ji smiled faintly when he heard this: "Why would I use violence? If I did that, wouldn't it make me look like I don't know manners? Wouldn't it make him feel that you are being bullied by my side?"

Qin Xiaoning frowned and asked him, "Have I never been mad at you?"

The man raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose: "You have no conscience, when have I ever made you angry?"

The little girl straightened herself up and began to count the men.

"You've been mean to me a lot. Once I made you unhappy, you would always scold me until I cried. Once you even slapped me in the face."

As she spoke, her face turned cold: "You hit me so hard, it must have hurt."

In her life, he had only slapped her once, and she would bring up the past with him whenever she thought about it.

The man lowered his eyes and glared at the little girl: "If you hadn't made me so angry, would I have hit you?" Then he snorted coldly: "I get angry when you mention this matter, but I think a slap in the face is too easy for you."

Seeing that he had no good words to say, the girl stood up and was about to leave, but the man pulled her back, held her on his lap and asked her, "Did you really run into that Shen guy today by chance?"

Qin Xiaoning raised her eyes to look at him and asked, "What else? Did we still make an appointment beforehand?"

"you dare!"

Hearing this, Lu Ji's face darkened, and he glared at her fiercely, saying in a sharp tone: "If you dare to do this, I will tie you up and punish you according to the family rules, and I will beat your buttocks to pieces."

The vicious look made the little girl unhappy.

She twisted her body to break free, but the man held her tightly and refused to let go: "What are you doing?"

The little girl rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't want to hear you scold me."

Lu Ji pulled the man back and softened his tone: "You have really grown up and become more capable? You don't even want to be told a word?"

The little girl seized on the reason and retorted, "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I be scolded by you here?"

As she spoke, taking advantage of his distraction, the little girl broke free from his arms, twisted her waist, and left him alone with a cold face.

Although she used to like to lose her temper with him, she was still afraid of him in her heart. She was also afraid when he occasionally said something harsh to her. But now, she didn't know when it started, but she was not afraid of him at all. Instead, she would give him the cold shoulder at any time.

Spoil the little thing.

Lu Ji frowned. Seeing that the little man was about to disappear from his sight, he couldn't help but follow him and stretched out his arms to stop the man.

"Can you talk properly?"

The little girl had a dull face and scolded him instead.

The man sighed slightly and replied, "I just feel unhappy to see you with that Shen."

The little girl raised her head and looked at him with her watery eyes. Her eyes were like autumn water, with a little anger, and looked a little fierce, but in Lu Ji's eyes, she still looked quite cute.

He couldn't help but soften his expression, a smile in his eyes, and raised his hand to touch her little face, but the little woman dodged him.

"What's wrong? I've been wronged, and it would be fine if you didn't give in to me, but why are you so fierce?"

An innocent expression appeared on the man's resolute face, as if he was acting coquettishly towards the little woman.

Qin Xiaoning rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What wronged you?"

Lu Ji said sternly, "That Shen guy obviously likes you. He has made it very clear in front of you and me today. I don't believe you can't see it."

"Of course I can see that."

Qin Xiaoning asked back: "What do you want from me? Are you wronged because of this?"

Lu Ji was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but was interrupted by the little girl. She said in a cold voice: "I have always been protecting you in front of Shen Qingshu. What else do you have to feel wronged about?"

He is of noble status and has reached a high position at a young age. He is used to being praised and cannot tolerate any dissatisfaction.

Qin Xiaoning didn't tolerate him and scolded him coldly: "If you continue to be unreasonable and want to kill me, don't expect me to pay attention to you."
