Xiao Xuetang sneered: "I have always been a domineering person, and I never like to share my things with others."

"Besides, there are so many people in the Marquis' Mansion. My sister is so capable that she can definitely lead them. Why does she have to keep staring at my little piece of land?"

Ye Jin was almost knocked over by Xiao Xuetang's anger!

She had already experienced how difficult these people were to deal with in the afternoon, so she had no choice but to use a trick to instigate Xie to involve Xiao Xuetang, but she didn't expect that the other party would not buy it at all.

Now, not only did Ye Jin's plan fail, but he was also scolded by Xiao Xuetang. One can imagine how depressed he felt.

Xiao Xuetang was too lazy to look at Ye Jin's angry face as his plan failed, nor did he want to continue to be entangled with Xie, so he took Qiyue away from Xiangzhu Garden and fed the rotten rice to the guard dog.

After all, Xiao Xuetang was the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. No matter how excessive the people under her were, they would not dare to send her such filthy food every day.

It just so happens that the things I sent today were a little bit bad...

If she remembered correctly, the first person Ye Jin called to the yard for questioning today, using Xie's words to bully others, was the one in charge of the kitchen.

"Today's self-torture plan was so successful, and it's all thanks to Ye Jin."

Seeing Xiao Xuetang was so heartless, Qiyue was almost angry to death, and said: "Miss, what are you talking about? In my opinion, you should tell Madam about this matter today and let Madam make the decision for you!"

When mentioning Xie Shi, Xiao Xuetang's smile faded and she said, "She can't even make decisions for herself, how can she make decisions for me?"

In his previous life, Xiao Xuetang still had a little hope for the Xie family, but in this life he was completely disheartened.

Hearing Xiao Xuetang's cold tone, Qiyue knew that she had said the wrong thing and felt a little annoyed.

However, Xiao Xuetang did not take this matter to heart and said, "But today we have uncovered this matter. Even if Ye Jin is very poisonous, he will not dare to tamper with the food. But this is not a long-term solution. After the matter in the yard is resolved, we have to open another small kitchen."

Since Xiao Yi promised her the freedom of Litangju, Xiao Xuetang would make full use of this "using chicken feathers as a token of authority" to the fullest.

Xiao Xuetang was thinking about what to do next, but the big yellow dog just sniffed the leftovers and turned away with disgust...

Even dogs won’t eat these things!

"Picky little bastard."

Xiao Xuetang scolded with a smile, and asked Qiyue to feed it the leftovers from Tianxianglou. Although it was leftovers, it was rich in fat and the big yellow dog ate so much that it kept wagging its tail. Xiao Xuetang couldn't help but touch its sleek back.

When she was at the Xie family, she also raised a puppy that she picked up from the mountains. Unfortunately, things changed for the Xie family later and the puppy disappeared.

When Xiao Xuetang felt sorry for the little puppy, Qiyue misunderstood and said, "Miss, if you feel bad, just cry."

Xiao Xuetang laughed and said, "Why would I cry for no reason?"

Qiyue bit her lip and said after a moment, "How could Madam be like this? You are her biological daughter, but instead of pitying you, she obeys the orders of an outsider and embarrasses you, young lady."

Xiao Xuetang didn't say anything, but patted her big dog's head. Under the moonlight, it was already late at night when the master and servant returned to Litangju.

Bi Hen was very worried when she saw that they had not returned yet. She was just about to go out to look for them when she saw them coming back.

"Miss, you are finally back."

Bi Hen said, "The concierge just delivered two invitations. One is from the Third Prince, inviting you to the teahouse for tea."

Although the separation between men and women is very strict nowadays, Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu are engaged after all, so if they go to the teahouse to drink tea privately with maids and servants accompanying them, it will not be considered rude as long as they do not do anything inappropriate.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuetang sneered, knowing that she had claimed to be sick and did not enter the palace today. She was afraid that Lin Shaoshu was not as careful as the Xie family and was a little nervous, so she sent the invitation overnight.

"Just say I haven't been feeling well lately and won't be going out."

Xiao Xuetang's voice was very cold. Bi Hen was puzzled and said, "Miss, you were eager to meet the Third Prince every day, why..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiyue pulled Bihen and he swallowed the remaining questions.

Xiao Xuetang's mood was not affected much. She put the post sent by Lin Shaoshu aside, took the one next to it and asked, "Whose post is this?"

Taking a quick look, the words "Prince Regent's Palace" suddenly appeared before his eyes. Xiao Xuetang's hands trembled and he almost dropped the post on the ground.

"It was sent by the old princess, saying that she wanted to invite you to the palace to appreciate the flowers and thank you for your help at the Huguo Temple last time."

Xiao Xuetang couldn't help but think of the man's cold eyes and she gasped.

Qiyue was more careful than Bihen. Seeing that Xiao Xuetang looked unhappy, she said, "Miss, if you don't want to have too much contact with the Regent Palace, then just refuse it."

Xiao Xuetang could reject Lin Shaoshu without hesitation, but when it came to the old princess, she had to think twice.

Firstly, if it weren't for the support of the old princess's people, Xiao Xuetang would not have been able to get away with the attack in the suburbs of Beijing so easily; secondly, Xiao Xuetang was not sure whether it was a coincidence that Lin Xun came to the Marquis' Mansion twice and happened to run into him both times, or was it because the incident at the Huguo Temple made him suspicious?

In this new life, Xiao Xuetang just wants to live a peaceful and stable life, but doesn't want to provoke that evil spirit...

Xiao Xuetang thought for a moment, then took out a pen and paper and wrote a long paragraph to the old princess.

The gist of it was that he was not feeling well and could not keep the appointment. He also repeatedly stated that saving the old princess at the Huguo Temple that day was just a coincidence and he did not want to repay the favor. He also gave the old princess a box of aromatic medicines for nourishing her body and calming her mind.

Xiao Xuetang felt that her reply was perfect. It would not offend the old princess, and Lin Xun would not become suspicious when he saw it.

He shouldn't stare at me anymore...right?

At this time, Xiao Xuetang had no idea that there is a law in this world that the more you fear something, the more likely it is to come!

……

Lin Xun had no idea how much psychological trauma the two chance encounters had caused Xiao Xuetang. It was already midnight when he returned from the censorship office.

The Jinjianyuan was founded by him five years ago. It was a place used to balance government affairs and collect information. He had been away at the border for several years, and some forces in Kyoto had begun to stir...

If we want to completely eradicate those forces and clean up the government, we must find the thing left behind by Old Master Xie!

Lin Xun inexplicably thought of Qi Yusheng’s words during the day, a beauty trap... ?

Just when he was thinking about something, he just stepped into his yard, when suddenly he saw a black shadow rushing out and pounced towards him!
