Started as a poor little girl

Li Lulu really had no other choice but to bite the bullet and go to King Jin for help.

In fact, she was reluctant to bother him, but the current matter concerned the life and death of the entire Wei family, and she could not give up any hope easily.

With an extremely uneasy mood, Li Lulu finally arrived at the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion.

However, when she actually stood here, she began to hesitate and waver.

After all, this matter is of great importance. If one is not careful, it may involve many people, and even the Wei family will be in irretrievable danger.

She couldn't help but think to herself: [I wonder if Brother Jinnian is willing to help? ]

Seeing this, the housekeeper of Prince Jin's Mansion hurried to the study to report to the prince:

"Your Highness, I just saw Miss Lulu arrive outside the palace, but she has not dared to step into the palace. After thinking it over, I think I should inform Your Highness."

"Invite her here quickly!" Xiao Jinnian urged.

In fact, he knew very well why Li Lulu came to visit him at this time.

However, how could such a great opportunity be missed? He even had to thank Wei Lingheng for giving him such a great opportunity.

Now, only Prince Jin has the ability to save the Wei family from the dire straits.

Moreover, he knew very well that Li Lulu attached great importance to the Wei family.

Li Lulu was brought to the door of the study by the housekeeper. She raised her hand and was about to knock on the door, but the door opened from the inside as if by magic.

"Lulu is here. Come in and sit down." Xiao Jinnian smiled and took a step sideways, making an inviting gesture.

Inside the room, exquisite tea and pastries had already been neatly placed, as if waiting for Li Lulu's arrival.

Xiao Jinnian closed the door gently and slowly walked to sit next to Li Lulu.

Seeing that Li Lulu remained silent for a while, he spoke first: "Lulu came here because of Wei Lingheng!"

Li Lulu lowered her head and said nothing, her hands tightly twisting her clothes. She was extremely conflicted and didn't know how to start the conversation.

"It's better not to tell me. Just pretend I never asked." Xiao Jinnian calmly poured a cup of tea and took a sip leisurely.

Li Lulu was extremely anxious. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Xiao Jinnian's eyes. Her voice was as soft as the wind: "Yes, please, Brother Jinnian, save them."

Xiao Jinnian looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a smile:

"Oh! They have committed the great crime of treason. If I help them, what good will it do? What if they are really traitors? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

Li Lulu also thought so in her heart, but she was now at her wit's end, and only Xiao Jinnian could help her at this moment.

She knelt down without hesitation, tears pouring out like a flood, her eyes soaked with tears, like two crystal gems.

Her tears fell one by one like pearls from a broken string. "Brother Jinnian, I beg you to help me."

Xiao Jinnian looked at her like this, feeling distressed and angry, and said angrily: "Why are you helping them? What is your relationship with them?"

"Wei Lingheng and I are best friends, and their family is very caring towards me, so please, Brother Jinnian, please help them." There was a hint of pleading in her voice.

There was no way out. Wei Lingheng had not yet come to her house to propose marriage, so she had to lie and say that she was his friend.

Xiao Jinnian was very surprised that she didn't even say that Wei Lingheng was her lover.

"I can help you, but what benefit can I get in return?" Xiao Jinnian smiled gently and waited for her answer.

Li Lulu was overjoyed, she knew that Brother Jinnian would definitely help her.

"As long as Brother Jinnian is willing to help them, I'm willing to do anything." Li Lulu's face was filled with joy, and her tone became cheerful.

"Oh! I'm willing to do anything." Xiao Jinnian raised his eyebrows, "Then, I want Lulu to be my princess, how about that?"

Li Lulu covered her mouth, surprised! She had always regarded Brother Jinnian as her own brother, so how could he let her be his princess?

"Brother Jinnian, when did your feelings for me change from family affection to love?" Li Lulu seemed to have suddenly realized something, so she asked.

"There is no family affection at all. It has been love from the beginning to the end, but you have never noticed it." Xiao Jinnian's face showed sadness. He never said that there was family affection between them!

"But you never said it." Li Lulu remembered clearly that Brother Jinnian had never revealed his feelings to her.

Xiao Jinnian smiled bitterly. It was obvious that he had done that, but she just didn't understand. His way of expressing himself was more restrained.

"I have given you the token of love, but you don't understand my feelings."

On the day of her coming of age, he gave Li Lulu a jade pendant, and it was a pair of jade pendants!

He took out the other half of the jade pendant from his waist, smiled helplessly and said, "I'm afraid you haven't even opened the gift I gave you on your coming-of-age day!"

Li Lulu lowered her head in embarrassment. She indeed had not opened it to read it. If she had, perhaps she would not have come to find Brother Jinnian.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jinnian, I really don't know." After saying that, she prepared to get up and run away.

When she ran out the door, she heard Xiao Jinnian in the study say, "I'll give you three days to think about it. If you exceed the time limit, I will never help the Wei family in the slightest."

Xiao Jinnian said it so decisively. He was actually gambling on how much Li Lulu cared about Wei Lingheng.

If Li Lulu cared about Wei Lingheng enough, she would definitely come back.

He didn't care whether she loved him or not. As long as she was willing to marry him, he would treat her well and believed that there would be a day when the clouds would clear and the moon would appear.

It's just that it takes time.

After Li Lulu returned to the palace, she locked herself in the room. She did not go out or eat for two days and two nights.

This made the queen very anxious. She didn't know what to do. She hurried to find the emperor, but the emperor was busy and had no time to care.

In desperation, the queen had to leave the palace to find Prince Jin.

Seeing the Queen in person, the butler hurried to report.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Queen... Her Majesty has come to our house!" The old butler ran so hard that he was out of breath and almost couldn't catch his breath while speaking.

"Please come in quickly!" Xiao Jinnian looked helpless. Is there any need to inform them? Please come in quickly.

A female voice as gentle as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley came from not far away: "Alright, alright, Jinnian, don't be angry. I came here by myself."

The queen walked lightly from the corridor to the garden and sat down gently beside Xiao Jinnian.

"I wonder why the Empress Dowager came here today?" Xiao Jinnian poured a cup of tea and handed it to the Queen.

The queen took a sip and spoke slowly, "It's all because of that kid Lulu. I don't know what happened to her the other day. She locked herself in her room for two days and didn't come out. She didn't eat or drink. I was so worried!

It’s probably because of the Wei family that she couldn’t save them, so she locked herself in her room and felt sad! "

When Xiao Jinnian heard this, he was unusually calm. The Queen was a little puzzled, because Jinnian was usually the one who worried about that girl.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law." Xiao Jinnian calmly told her everything about what happened that day when Li Lulu came to see him.

"Oh! Jinnian, it's not a good idea for you to do this! What if..." The Queen hesitated to speak. What she actually wanted to say was, what if this backfired and we couldn't even be friends anymore.

However, Xiao Jinnian thought to himself that he had to take a gamble, as such an opportunity was really rare. There was a determined light flashing in his eyes, as bright as stars, and as if burning with a blazing flame.

"Okay, then I wish you immediate success. After all, your brother and I fully support your marriage."

Xiao Jinnian is already nineteen years old, but he still hasn't married. This is really worrying.

Although they knew that he had someone in his heart and had been waiting for someone, they couldn't help but feel anxious!

The queen did not stay for long. She left in a hurry, and at the same time, she did not forget to instruct Cuizhu to guard outside Li Lulu's door and pay attention to her every move.

She was extremely excited, her heart was beating like a drum, and at the same time she was full of nervousness, waiting to see whether Lulu would go out to meet Jinnian today.

Li Lulu pondered for two whole days, and when her stomach growled with hunger, she entered the space to find some food to fill her stomach.

When she opened her computer out of boredom, she was surprised to find that she had already accumulated all the points.

This means that she can finally return to the modern world she has always dreamed of, but at this moment she does not want to leave because she still has concerns.

She was determined to rescue Wei Lingheng and others who were trapped in the cage.

What's more, Xiao Jinnian treated her very well, and could even be said to be caring and considerate. She really couldn't bear to hurt this kind man.
