Bai Shaoyuan simply felt that he had been unlucky recently. Originally, he was just enjoying the service of the Jiang sisters, and his life was very uncomfortable.

As a result, we received such unlucky news that Xu Changshi was beaten by Miss Liang and sent to jail!

If his colleagues knew about this matter, they probably wouldn't say anything openly, and secretly they wouldn't know how to talk about their prime minister's office.

"Okay, you three, don't cause any trouble here. Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first. The Prime Minister will personally communicate with Mr. Liang about the matters here."

Bai Shaoyuan waved his hands towards them impatiently with a livid face, and turned away, obviously not wanting to say another word to them.

When a woman encounters something, she just cries. She cried so hard that he was as big as his head and two!

However... this third daughter seems to be much calmer than the other two.

Bai Shaoyuan couldn't help but hear Master Kong Hui's words again in his mind, don't treat the pearl as dark dust?

He and his mother had always believed that the person Master Kong Hui was referring to was Ci'er, so they spared her life.

But will Ci'er really be that pearl?

Bai Shaoyuan looked back at the girl in moon-white clothes who was leaving gracefully, with a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes for the first time.

But before he could think about anything else, Mr. Liang, the Minister of Household Affairs, had already walked in with angry expressions on his face.

Bai Shaoyuan's eyelids twitched and he lowered his attitude a little with a guilty conscience. He concentrated on dealing with Liang Taiping's anger, but hoped that the matter could be resolved properly.

Bai Lishi and Xu Yujiao had no intention of wandering around at this time. They seemed like a defeated rooster, getting on the carriage and heading back home.

Bai Zhaoyi found an excuse to part with them here, and after the Prime Minister's carriage had gone away, he turned around and walked in the other direction.

"Miss, you are here. Mr. Lin has been waiting for you on the second floor for a long time."

Jingzhe was slightly surprised to see Bai Zhaoyi not covering his face this time, but he quickly calmed down and looked at his lady with a smile.

I don’t know how Mr. Lin contacted the young lady. In the past, the two of them sent messages to each other through Jishitang. This time Jishitang did not receive any letters.

"Well, take me to the second floor." With a faint smile on his face, Bai Zhaoyi held up his skirt and followed Jingzhe step by step toward one of the private rooms on the second floor.

Pushing open the door to the last room, Lin Jiuqing was sitting at the table looking at the account book in his hand, surrounded by the aroma of tea.

Hearing the sound at the door, he turned his head slightly and looked towards the door. Then he saw that the person coming was Bai Zhaoyi, and then he put down the account book in his hand and stood up with a smile.

"Miss Qiao came much earlier than Jiuqing expected." The gentle look on Lin Jiuqing's eyebrows made him more approachable, and he exuded the air of a humble gentleman.

There is no doubt that Lin Jiuqing has a gentle and good-looking face, elegant yet firm, gentle yet chic.

If Lin's father and mother hadn't passed away, and the burden of the family had to fall on him, he would have definitely participated in the scientific examination and become famous all over the world.

"Master Lin, please stop teasing me. My biological mother's surname is Qiao. It is easy for a woman to do business outside and attract criticism. That's why I call myself Qiao."

Bai Zhaoyi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly at Lin Jiuqing, without any uncomfortable look on his face.

The smile in Lin Jiuqing's eyes deepened. He admired the courage and intelligence of the woman in front of him. The third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was only known to the world as a concubine but did not know that she was such a powerful person.

Presumably even the prime minister doesn't know what kind of person his third daughter is.

"Miss Bai just calls me Jiuqing. I invite Miss Bai to meet me here at Wangjiang Tower this time. It's really Jiuqing's abruptness, so please forgive me."

After that, Lin Jiuqing poured a cup of tea for Bai Zhaoyi and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.

"Jiu Qing, please call me A Zhao. You must have something you want to ask me when you invite me here today, right?"

Bai Zhaoyi had known for a long time that such a day would come, and she didn't expect her tricks to be able to hide Lin Jiuqing, the richest businessman in the capital, with a devilish mind.

It's just that there are some things that she can't explain to him one by one.

Lin Jiuqing's eyes flashed with admiration, he nodded, put down the tea cup in his hand, straightened his expression and said:

"The items in the warehouse are related to the items lost by the third prince? Why do you hate him so much?"

Bai Zhaoyi's eyes trembled. His fingers under the table tightened slightly, but there was no change on his face. He still had that calm look. He said with a smile at the corner of his mouth:

"Jiuqing is really smart. After all, the third prince is our common enemy, isn't he? If the third prince succeeds to the throne, do you think that with his narrow-minded character, he will be able to tolerate the Lin family, which is extremely wealthy?"

Bai Zhaoyi raised his eyes and looked at Lin Jiuqing, who was slightly absent-minded across from him, raised his eyebrows and asked. This question must have been answered by Lin Jiuqing in his heart.

For his own benefit, he killed an unrelated young child and framed the blame on the eldest prince, trying to provoke a conflict between the Lin family and Xiao Teng.

And he just needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and benefit from it.

How can such a ruthless and unscrupulous person be a wise king?

Lin Jiuqing was silent for a long time without saying anything. He knew that what Bai Zhaoyi said was true. If Xiao Yan became the new emperor, the Lin family would probably be destroyed.

What will happen to Abao then?

Do not--

He would never let the Lin family's century-old efforts be ruined by his generation. It might be too late before the third prince's wings were full.

Lin Jiuqing looked up at the slightly immature girl in front of him with a complicated expression. Why did she know so much when she was only 14 years old?

Lin Jiuqing's voice was a little hoarse and once again asked the question that Bai Zhaoyi had just avoided talking about:

"Azhao, you haven't answered me yet, why do you hate the third prince so much?"

It's obvious that she has no interaction with the third prince, right?

Where did such strong hatred come from?

Even though Bai Zhaoyi hides himself well, his eyes cannot deceive.When he mentioned Xiao Yan, Bai Zhaoyi's eyes clearly flashed with murderous intent.

Bai Zhaoyi put down the tea cup in his hand and the smile on his face faded a bit. He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window and said:

"I'm sorry I can't tell you the reason. You just need to know that no one in this world wants him dead more than me, so Jiuqing and I are really on the same page."

Bai Zhaoyi's voice reached Lin Jiuqing's ears lightly, and the room fell into silence for a moment. The two of them had their own thoughts, and no one broke the silence first.

After a cup of tea, Lin Jiuqing suppressed the doubts in her heart, picked up the tea cup and spoke first with a smile:

"Then I wish us happy cooperation in the future."

Bai Zhaoyi turned around and also held the tea cup. His eyes were sparkling and he looked at the young man opposite with a smile and said:

"I guarantee you that Jiuqing will not regret today's decision in the future."

Lin Jiuqing recalled today's decision many years later and couldn't help but feel grateful again for his original choice.
