Provoking the villain, madly criticizing the tyrant for kidnapping my sedan chair for the bridal cha

Seeing that Ji Shen was in high spirits and her eyes were full of expectation, Lin Lixia couldn't help but pour cold water on him.

For a moment, no words could be thought of to dissuade Ji Shen from riding a sweaty horse to and from Zizhu City.

She could only delay.

"Braised chicken kidneys, you came all the way on a fast horse. You must be thirsty and tired, right?"

Hearing Lin Lixia's concern for him, Ji Shen suddenly wanted to feel more distressed: "Well, I'm thirsty and tired!"

"Then I'll make you a cup of tea!" Lin Lixia finished making a cup of tea and already had an idea in her mind.

She handed the tea cup to Ji Shen, and when Ji Shen finished drinking the tea, she poured another cup for Ji Shen.

"Braised chicken kidneys, traveling from the capital to Zizhu City is not a big deal, but I don't want you to rush around like this."

Ji Shengang thought the tea was a little sweet, but suddenly felt a little bitter: "Why?"

Lin Lixia looked at Ji Shen and said, "You can rest after the sweaty horse has gone back and forth. After you go back and forth..."

Speaking of this, Lin Lixia paused deliberately before saying, "If things continue like this, I'm worried that your body won't be able to withstand such exertion."

"Lin Lixia, do you feel sorry for me?" Ji Shen couldn't hold back the smile on her lips.

The look in Lin Lixia's eyes became even hotter, as if he could breathe fire.

Feeling Ji Shen's burning eyes, Lin Lixia lowered her head slightly, avoiding the eyes that made her heart beat.

She tried to keep calm and continued to persuade Ji Shen.

"If love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?"

Ji Shen's eyes were full of ecstasy.

"Lin Lixia, you finally admit that you also have feelings for me?"

"..." Lin Lixia froze, wanting to say that the key point of her sentence was not in the first half.

Facing Ji Shen's straightforward questioning, she was afraid that if she said this, something else would happen.

It was just one step away from coaxing Ji Shen into compromising.

Never give up halfway.

"The point is, I don't want you to be tired and running around, do you understand?"

The smile in Ji Shen's eyes was like seeing flowers blooming.

"I understand. I listen to you. For our long-term future, I won't travel long distances easily."

"Lin Lixia, I'll take you for a while before returning to Beijing!"

Seeing Ji Shen's compromise, the tense look in Lin Lixia's eyes relaxed, and a genuine smile appeared on her lips.

"If I send you off again, you won't be able to catch up with dinner when you return to Beijing."

"Then don't eat it!" Ji Shen smiled happily and ordered the driver to drive on.

The sound of each other's heartbeats echoed through every corner of the carriage.

This made Lin Lixia feel very uncomfortable. She opened the curtain and pretended to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way.

Ji Shen sat quietly, watching Lin Lixia's every move intently, as if she couldn't get enough.

As the car drove farther and farther, Lin Lixia's heart gradually became uneasy, fearing that Ji Shen would continue to see her off.

"Broiled chicken kidneys, just send them here! We must say goodbye after a long journey."

Ji Shen was silent for a moment, looking at the sunset on the horizon, "Then you will take me off the car?"

"..." Lin Lixia was speechless, but she didn't want to waste any more time, so she had to get out of the car.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood firm, she was hugged by Ji Shen.

A hug.

She leaned her head against Ji Shen's heart, listening to his strong heartbeat, and her heart was in chaos.

"Lin Lixia, am I waiting for you to come back in Beijing to celebrate your birthday?"

"Okay!" Lin Lixia responded quickly, "Let go of me."

"Let me hug you again!" Ji Shen hugged her tightly.

Afraid that he would let go.

The two of them agreed with the second half of the sign.

Lin Lixia did not dare to resist, she could even feel Ji Shen's complicated emotions of worrying about gains and losses.

For a moment, she also wanted to go crazy and have a vigorous love affair with Ji Shen.

But when she thought about it, she was going to be imprisoned in that cage in the deep palace.

Spend your whole life competing with a group of women for the favor of one man.

I feel that it doesn’t matter if a man doesn’t want you, or if your love doesn’t respond, life is better if you are free.

Although she was shaken in her heart, her rationality finally prevailed, and she patted Ji Shen's back gently.

"Let me go!"

This time, Ji Shen did not refuse, let go of Lin Lixia, jumped on his horse, and left without looking back.

He was afraid that if he looked back, he would never be able to leave again.

*

On the third day after Lin Lixia returned to Zizhu City, Grandma Rong took a carriage to Zizhu City.

"Girl, your father has you in mind and ordered this old slave to come and serve you."

Lin Lixia was stunned.

Her father had said that if he failed to pass the imperial examination, he would come to Zizhu City and take care of the family business with her.

"Mother Rong, what plans does my father have recently?"

"Your father entered Longteng Academy to study. Your grandfather was very happy about this and planned to settle in Beijing. The management of the family was handed over to Grandma Yuan."

Lin Lixia was shocked. Could it be that Ji Shen was afraid that she would not return to Beijing, so she deliberately left her father in Beijing?

"Mama Rong, what are the arrangements for my eldest brother and sister-in-law?"

"The old lady said that when your eldest brother takes office, he will take your eldest sister-in-law and Mother Zhuang with him."

"That's good!" Lin Lixia just finished speaking.

Seeing Yan Mo rushing in, her face turned red.

"Girl, Mr. Duan is here?"

"Finally here!" Lin Lixia's eyes lit up with a smile, "Invite him in quickly."

This scene fell into the eyes of Aunt Rong, and she suddenly felt wary.

She specifically sought refuge with Miss Lin, with the purpose of becoming the first female official around the Queen.

If Miss Lin were to fall in love with someone else, wouldn't her work be in vain?

"Girl, who is this Mr. Duan?"

"You'll know later." Lin Lixia looked at the door with a smile.

Duan Zihuai, still wearing red clothes, entered the door elegantly.

"Miss Lin, I'm here today to apologize to you for leaving in a hurry that day..."

"Aren't you here to apologize?" Lin Lixia was surprised and interrupted Duan Zihuai's polite remarks.

"I thought Mr. Duan was here to discuss business? Am I mistaken?"

"No, there is no misunderstanding!" Duan Zihuai was used to Lin Lixia being direct.

Still stunned for a moment.

"I heard that Miss Lin has opened a tiger balm workshop, and I really want to cooperate with her."

"We can cooperate!" Lin Lixia had been waiting for Duan Zihuai for a long time: "But, I only want cash."

"Besides, before we cooperate, please compensate me for the losses of the teahouse that day, a total of two hundred taels of silver notes."

"..." Duan Zihuai laughed and took out a stack of banknotes without even asking.

Lin Lixia took out two banknotes and only received two hundred taels.

"The raw materials are limited and the supply is not very sufficient. Mr. Duan must pay a 30% deposit first."

"Today, one month later, Mr. Duan came to pick up the goods with enough banknotes."

Duan Zihuai frowned slightly, "Miss Lin, one month is a bit long, can it be faster?"

Lin Lixia was silent for a moment, "It will be mentioned in half a month at the earliest."

"That'll be half a month later." Duan Zihuai never thought that his business negotiations would go so smoothly this time.

He didn't even finish a cup of tea, and he didn't even want to leave so soon.

"Miss Lin, I'm here for the first time in Zizhu City. I wonder if I can fulfill my duty as a landlord?"

"..." Lin Lixia was stunned. The deal was concluded. Is it necessary to treat the big client to a meal?

Aunt Rong was extremely anxious, "Girl, I'm a little unsure about the store in Jingzhong, and I still need the girl to make up my mind."

Duan Zihuai: "..."
