After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Xiao Jingyi smiled fondly, "My Yao'er is the most well-behaved and sensible."

Lin Qingyao froze when she heard his address. He could really say it. Why didn't she realize that he was so good at acting before?

Xiao Jingyi felt that Lin Qingyao was a little different today, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Although he was smiling, docile and well-behaved as usual, he still felt that he was not as close to him as before.

Jamel Xiao on the side looked at the interaction between the two, and his eyes dimmed instantly.

As expected, she still cared about her fourth brother the most.

Gu Jingan patted his back gently and sighed.

Xiao Jingyi noticed Jamel Xiao's sad expression, and felt extremely proud, and instantly put the thoughts behind him.

Jamel Xiao, you can’t beat me.

"Fifth brother, why don't you and the Crown Prince take the table first? Yao'er and I have a few words to say."

Jamel Xiao looked at Jamel Xiao proudly and deliberately emphasized the word "Yao'er".

"Fourth brother, please."

Jamel Xiao pulled Gu Jingan and turned around to leave without any hesitation.

Out of sight, out of mind, it’s better to leave as soon as possible.

Lin Qingyao looked at Jamel Xiao's lonely back and felt very distressed, and her hatred for Xiao Jingyi became even deeper.

Looking at Xiao Jingyi's triumphant face, he wished he could slap him twice.

Lin Qingyao withdrew her gaze and pretended to be coquettish: "Don't be so obvious in front of a large audience. It will make others gossip."

"Who in the entire Great Qi Kingdom doesn't know that you are my future princess, and who dares to gossip about me."

Xiao Jingyi smiled and said, "Is it possible that Yao'er is shy?"

Lin Qingyao felt a chill again, it was really shameless.

When she thought about having to deal with him like this for a period of time, Lin Qingyao felt that her life had no hope at all.

Lin Qingyao could only pretend to be shy and nodded shyly.

"My Yao'er is so innocent and so cute."

After saying this, Xiao Jingyi himself felt a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about it, Lin Qingyao loved hearing these words from him.

In order to make her completely devoted to him, he had no choice but to risk everything.

Lin Qingyao may sound naive at best, but in fact he is just a useless idiot who can't even compare to Rou'er.

Speaking of Rou'er, isn't she usually inseparable from Lin Qingyao? Why don't you see her today?

Xiao Jingyi pretended to be relaxed and looked behind Lin Qingyao, "Yao'er, isn't your cousin inseparable from you every day? Why haven't you seen her today?"

Lin Qingyao snorted in her heart. She was really thinking about Lin Qingrou. She started looking for her when she couldn't see her for a while.

He was so obvious to Lin Qingrou, why didn't she notice it before?

It's a pity that he will be disappointed today, as he can't see his Rou'er anymore.

Lin Qingyao sighed with pretense of regret, "The third sister made a mistake and was punished by her grandmother to think about her mistakes behind closed doors. She will not be able to attend the birthday banquet today."

When Xiao Jingyi heard that Rou'er had been punished, he excitedly held Lin Qingyao's arm, "What mistake did she make? Why wasn't she allowed to attend such an important day?"

Lin Qingyao's arm hurt from his hold, so she immediately broke away and said coquettishly, "You hurt me!"

Lin Qingyao sneered inwardly. If she hadn't pretended not to know, Xiao Jingyi's anxious look would have revealed his secret.

Only then did Xiao Jingyi realize that he was too excited and almost exposed his relationship with Rou'er.

He quickly apologized to Lin Qingyao: "I'm sorry Yao'er, I was excited and lost my concentration. Are you okay?"

Lin Qingyao snorted in her heart. Lin Qingrou was indeed his darling. He was so excited when he heard that she was punished that she almost forgot to lie to herself.

"I'm fine, but why does Yao'er think His Highness cares about the third sister? He cares more than Yao'er."

Lin Qingyao deliberately pretended to be hurt.

Ha, it depends on how you explain it.

Xiao Jingyi was stunned, when did Lin Qingyao become so aggressive? He could have dismissed her with just a few words before.

When did she become so good at focusing on key points? I thought I could fool her by just caring about her.

"Usually, you sisters have the best relationship. I am so excited because I am worried about Yao'er. Yao'er should not take any chances."

Xiao Jingyi could only coax her patiently.

But I was extremely irritable inside. It seemed I had to speed up the progress. It was really disgusting to say these words to her hypocritically every day.

If she gets it done earlier, she can marry Rouer back earlier, otherwise it would be too painful to face this idiot every day.

Haha, he keeps thinking about her, he is really eloquent.

"It's not that Yao'er didn't help the third sister, it's just that what she did this time was a little too much, and my grandmother was angry."

Lin Qingyao's actions are difficult to explain.

A few days ago, Rou'er told him about her plan to kill two birds with one stone. Just now he saw Lin Qingyao appearing safe and sound, so he just assumed that Rou'er didn't implement the plan.

Lin Qingyao said Rou'er was punished. Could it be that something went wrong?

Lin Qingyao looked at Xiao Jingyi's anxious look and paused deliberately, "The third sister pushed me into the water and framed it for the eldest sister. How can I not punish my grandmother?"

Lin Qingyao deliberately avoided the important and ignored the easy, making him anxious without expressing her attitude.

Only then did Xiao Jingyi realize that Rou'er's plan had failed, but Lin Qingyao had always believed in Rou'er's words, so this result was something he did not expect.

Rou'er was so gentle and kind, and would not have taken such a risk if it wasn't to help him further gain Lin Qingyao's trust.

It's no wonder Lin Qingyao, a bitch, was so smart this time.

We must stabilize her first, and we must not let Rouer fall short.

"Yao'er, your cousin definitely didn't do it on purpose. She has such a good relationship with you, how could she push you into the water on purpose?"

Hehe, Xiao Jingyi was afraid that he would find out that Lin Qingrou had bad intentions and help her make amends.

"Oh? Really? Why does His Highness seem to know the third sister very well? He knows that she didn't do it on purpose."

Lin Qingyao deliberately asked him back, just to make him feel guilty.

"I... what I mean is that Miss Lin San usually looks weak and doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing."

Oh, let’s not expose him yet. It will do no good to you if you make him anxious.

"What Your Highness said makes sense. I was very angry at the time, but when I calmed down, I realized that Third Sister is not such a person."

"It was all instigated by my eldest maid Lianxiang. I know the character of the third sister best, so naturally I won't blame her."

Xiao Jingyi's expression softened after hearing this. As long as she still trusts Rou'er, everything will be easy to talk about.

"That's good, don't let this matter affect the relationship between you sisters."

"only..."

Lin Qingrou opened her mouth slowly, but stopped talking.

"Just what?"

Xiao Jingyi thought Rou'er had something else going on, and his heart became excited again.

Lin Qingyao covered her chest and made a weak gesture, "It's just that when His Highness heard this, he didn't even ask if Yao'er was okay when she fell into the water. Instead, he was quite concerned about the situation of the third sister. Yao'er is so sad."

Xiao Jingyi secretly said something bad. He was so worried when he heard Rou'er was punished that he forgot to care about Lin Qingyao's physical condition.

"Of course I am most worried about Yao'er's health, but seeing Yao'er's radiant face today, she must be in good health."

"It was my negligence. Yao'er must not be angry."

Recalling Jamel Xiao’s worried expression when he heard that he was sick, the contrast was really strong.

Only those who truly care about her will put her first in everything.

"Yao'er is just complaining. How can Yao'er be willing to be angry with His Highness?"

Lin Qingyao saw that Xiao Jingyi's patience was about to run out, so she gave up. Today was her grandmother's big day and she was too lazy to bother with him.

"It's getting late. Your Highness, please take your seat first. Yao'er has to help her mother entertain the female guests."

"In order to have a few words alone with His Highness, Yao'er has been standing here for a long time."

"Thank you for your hard work, Yao'er. Come in quickly."

Xiao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief when he finally fooled Lin Qingyao.

This damn girl seems to be smarter than before and is becoming harder and harder to deceive.

It seems that their plan needs to be accelerated.
