Chapter 64 I've spoiled you, huh?

During this period, there were undercurrents in the court. Concubine Jing's brother Zhou Jing defeated the Qin army and completely wiped out the King of Qin. The eldest prince King Qin, who followed the army, found letters between the King of Qin and King Xuanchen in the King of Qin's palace.

Before the King of Qin returned to the capital, he could not wait to order his scouts to rush back to the capital with evidence of the collusion between the King of Qin and the King of Xuanchen and present it to the Saint.

After the saint opened the letter in front of all the civil and military officials, his face turned pale and without saying a word, he threw the letter directly to Prime Minister Jiang.

On the second day, Prime Minister Jiang reported to the emperor at the court meeting that King Xuanchen had rebellious intentions and asked him to send troops to the northern border to eliminate King Xuanchen.

The Minister of War, headed by Zhang Tingjing, came out to strongly oppose it. The two sides argued fiercely, but the saint did not express his position.

Lu Ji came back early recently, but he did not go back to the main house. Whenever he returned to the mansion, he would either discuss things with the eldest master in Tingxueju or handle official business in the study. He would also sleep in the study at night.

Qin Xiaoning also had no peace, as Princess Huayang would pester her whenever she got the chance, trying to find out about Lu Ji in some subtle ways.

Qin Xiaoning was extremely annoyed. After school that day, in order to avoid Huayang's harassment, Qin Xiaoning hurried to leave the private school. However, as soon as she left the bamboo forest, she was stopped by Huayang again.

"Sister Ning, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Qin Xiaoning smiled helplessly: "School is over."

As he was about to leave, Huayang stopped him: "I've known you for such a long time, and I feel like I'm compatible with you. It's still early, how about I go over to your place and sit with you?"

There are many noble ladies in the private school who secretly like Lu Ji, but none of them is so blatantly shameless.

Qin Xiaoning smiled helplessly and replied, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request, Princess. My room is in the main room of the prince. The prince has strict rules. Not to mention outsiders, even the maids cleaning the yard cannot enter the main room without his permission."

Upon hearing that Qin Xiaoning lived in Lu Ji's main house, Princess Huayang's face immediately turned cold.

"The Lu family's young master dotes on you." Huayang said in a sarcastic tone.

Qin Xiaoning didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either. She replied indifferently, "It's okay."

Princess Huayang sneered when she heard this and said, "He dotes on you right now, but you are a concubine after all. What are your plans for the future?"

"I haven't thought about it." Qin Xiaoning said.

"I don't believe you won't miss it." Hua Yang took two steps closer, pulled her aside, and said to Qin Xiao Ning in a tempting tone: "At present, Lu Ji hasn't married yet, so you can live a comfortable life. But after the mistress comes into the house, your life will be in the hands of the mistress."

Before Huayang could finish her words, Qin Xiaoning interrupted her impatiently and said, "What do you mean by telling me this, Princess?"

Hua Yang looked around and lowered his voice and continued, "To be honest, I have a crush on Lu Ji. If you can lend me a hand, I will definitely be grateful for your help when I become his legal wife. I promise you that I will not chase you out and will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

Seeing Qin Xiaoning remained silent, Huayang tugged at her again and continued, "I know that there are many noble ladies who like Lu Ji right now. There are several in the Lu family's private school alone." He snorted coldly, "I saw you getting close to Fang Silan from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Tsk! That little bitch, don't think I don't know what she's thinking. She's just thinking about Lu Ji. Oh, in order to get close to Lu Ji, she must have given you a lot of benefits."

I have never seen such a shameless person.

Qin Xiaoning couldn't help herself and replied coldly: "If the princess likes Lu Ji, just go and fight for him. I can't help you with anything." After a pause, she added: "Also, Miss Fang only told me that she likes to watch the prince play polo. She is not as bad as the princess said."

After saying that, Qin Xiaoning was about to leave, but Huayang stopped her tightly: "So, you don't want to cooperate with me anymore, right?"

She glared at Qin Xiaoning with her narrow eyes: "Don't pretend with me. You don't want to help me. Someone must have promised you something. Is it that little bitch surnamed Fang, or the bitch from the Shangshu Mansion?"

"Miss Qin, Miss Qin——"

Qin Xiaoning was being harassed by Princess Huayang, and Desheng came running over: "Miss Qin, what are you doing here?" He raised his hand and pointed outside the bamboo forest: "The prince is over there, can't you see him?"

As soon as Desheng said this, before Qin Xiaoning could react, Princess Huayang couldn't wait to speak: "Lu Ji? Where is he?"

Qin Xiaoning avoided her and walked out of the bamboo forest quickly. She looked up and saw Lu Ji standing not far away. She looked back at Hua Yang who was standing on tiptoe and looking at Lu Ji, and then walked straight towards Lu Ji. Before she reached Lu Ji, she heard him coldly questioning: "Who are you talking to? You are so engrossed that you don't notice I'm here?"

Qin Xiaoning sneered and replied indifferently: "My Lord, don't you recognize the woman who spoke to me?"

Lu Ji frowned, stared at her and asked, "What do you mean?"

Qin Xiaoning said, "That woman is Princess Huayang of Prince Xian's mansion. She likes you very much." As she spoke, she glanced at Huayang who was standing not far away and looking at Lu Ji, and said to herself, "Seeing someone here, she didn't pounce on him. It's not that she is completely shameless."

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Ji to speak, she left everyone behind and walked straight towards Qingsong Garden.

Lu Ji looked at her indifferent back, gritted his teeth in hatred, and when he saw her walking away for a long distance, he couldn't help but follow her.

He was tall and walked with big steps. When Qin Xiaoning walked to the gate of Qingsong Garden, Lu Ji followed her. Neither of them spoke. After entering the house, Lu Ji pushed open the door of the main house, glanced at Qin Xiaoning, and motioned her to go in. Qin Xiaoning raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Ji, but turned towards her back porch.

"Come back here."

She had just taken two steps when Lu Ji pulled her back. He had a cold face and scolded her in a deep voice, "I really spoiled you. After all these days, you're still making trouble? Really?"

Qin Xiaoning defended herself: "I didn't make trouble with you."

Lu Ji frowned and asked, "What did you mean by those words just now at the gate of the private school?"

As he said that, he blocked her against the wall without saying anything. He propped his arms against the wall, trapping her firmly in the space. She stared at him with deep eyes, suppressed her anger, and scolded her: "What kind of messy women are sticking to me? Are you trying to annoy me on purpose?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, he shouted impatiently: "Speak!"

Qin Xiaoning frowned and answered truthfully, "I didn't get any woman attached to you. The woman just told me in person that she likes you and wants to be your wife. She also said that if I am willing to help her, she will not kick me out in the future and will treat me well."

After hearing this, Lu Ji laughed out of anger: "Such a tempting condition, you agreed to her?"

The tone suddenly softened again, but it was gloomy, like the unusual calm before a storm.

Qin Xiaoning was a little afraid of him, but didn't want to give in, so she simply turned her head away and held on.

"Aren't you trying to piss me off on purpose?" He raised his hand and wiped away the tears from her eyes with his thumb, sneering and questioning, "Are you scared?"

She was afraid in her heart, but she was also holding her anger. She had done nothing wrong. He just bullied her because she didn't follow his will.

Qin Xiaoning sniffed and whispered back, "If the prince dislikes me, just kick me out."

She had never disobeyed him like this before. When Lu Ji heard this, he was suddenly stunned.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and cursed, "You really don't know how to live or die." As he spoke, his big, bony hands rested on her neck.

As long as he used the slightest force, her slender neck would be twisted into a knot.

He was so angry that he really didn't care about any feelings.

She was scared and even more sad. She wanted to give in, but when she felt the faint power coming from his hands, she held her breath.

I would rather die than beg for mercy from him.
