I just want to rob you of your luck

When Nangong Yi heard Lin Jiuer's words, his eyes lit up. He knew that Lin Jiuer had saved him and would not let Lin Ruoshui get her wish.

After all, she and Lin Ruoshui don't get along, it's no exaggeration to say they are mortal enemies.

Prime Minister Lin was so angry just now that he almost agreed out of frustration, but was interrupted by Lin Jiuer's words.

He calmed down instantly. How could his daughter marry someone of such a low status? Absolutely impossible!

He knew that Lin Jiuer wanted to seek justice for Shen Yi today, so he said, "Jiuer, what do you mean?"

"I don't agree. Sister, you should consider other guards in the mansion. If you keep thinking about the people in my yard, I will go out and spread the word for you."

Lin Ruoshui was so angry. Who said she had to marry the guard? She wanted to marry Shen Yi!

"Shen Yi, what do you think? Are you willing to marry my sister?"

"I don't want to!" Shen Yi replied with a grim expression.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Lin became even angrier. After all this time, Lin Ruoshui had been trying to use various tricks to marry Shen Yi, but the other party still didn't like her!

This made him dissatisfied with Lin Ruoshui. Could it be that her daughter's vision was so low because her biological mother was of humble origin?

But that shouldn't be the case. The fact that Aunt Liu fell in love with him at the beginning proved that she did have some vision.

When Aunt Liu heard this, she quickly grabbed Lin Ruoshui and stopped her from speaking. Her daughter was simply bewitched.

What's so good about that guard? Apart from his good looks, how is he worthy of her daughter?

"Ruoshui, why don't you apologize to your father and tell him that you won't do such stupid things again."

Lin Ruoshui was very unwilling to miss such a good opportunity today. However, seeing that things had come to this point, she could only endure it for the time being. She couldn't completely anger Prime Minister Lin. She would think about it later.

"Did my aunt make a mistake? Shouldn't my sister apologize to me and my guards? After all, it wasn't my father who drank the aphrodisiac!"

When this matter was brought up again, Lin Ruoshui's face turned red. She really didn't want to apologize to Shen Yi and Lin Jiuer. Apologizing to Shen Yi was understandable, but what did it have to do with her?

Prime Minister Lin was annoyed and angrily said, "Lin Ruoshui, why don't you apologize to your sister and Shen Yi quickly? You had the courage to do that, but now you don't have the courage to apologize?"

Lin Ruoshui knew that her father was really angry this time, so she reluctantly apologized to Shen Yi and Lin Jiuer.

Lin Jiuer didn't want to continue arguing with them, so she took her people back to her yard.

She called Shen Yi into her room and then sent everyone away.

She opened the heart-reading talisman and was secretly delighted. It seemed that her recent efforts were not in vain. The color of Nangong Yi's hair changed from gray to light pink, indicating that he had some feelings for her.

"this is for you."

Shen Yi took over a yellow card with some doubts. There were some patterns painted with red cinnabar on it, which seemed to be a talisman.

"Miss, what is this?"

"This is the amulet I asked for you today. Remember to carry it with you."

Lin Jiuer was suddenly so nice to him, he was a little flattered and a little overwhelmed.

Lin Jiuer looked at his earlobes which were gradually turning red and found it a little cute. It seemed that now she could give him some stimulation to advance their relationship.

She walked in front of Shen Yi, so close that they could feel each other's breath.

Shen Yi felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to step back, but Lin Jiuer simply grabbed his arm, stood on tiptoes, and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

Shen Yi was a little panicked. This was the first time he had such close contact with a woman. He looked at Lin Jiuer in disbelief.

"Miss, you..."

"Shen Yi, I like you. I saved you not because Lin Ruoshui and I don't get along, but because I was worried that you were really with her, so I followed you to the temple fair."

Lin Jiuer looked at him with her big eyes as bright as black grapes, with admiration in them, which made Nangong Yi's blood boil.

He only felt a buzzing in his head and he could not hear anything. Only one voice echoed in his mind.

"Shen Yi, I like you..."

Lin Jiuer saw him standing there blankly without saying a word, his face as pale as a cooked shrimp. It was the first time she saw such an expression on his icy face.

I thought, he wouldn’t be so shocked that he became stupid, right?

She touched his forehead with the back of her hand and it was indeed a little hot.

"Shen Yi, are you okay?"

Shen Yi finally came back to his senses. He stuttered a little: "I, I'm fine."

"Silly, let me ask you, do you like me?"

Shen Yi was stunned again. He thought hard for a long time but couldn't find the answer.

He used to hate Lin Jiuer very much, but recently she had been very nice to him, often helping him out, giving him a farm and solving his problems. He was somewhat grateful to her.

But it seems that we haven't reached the stage of liking it yet?

Besides, he is just a lowly guard now. How could he deserve the favor of the prime minister's daughter?

The hardships he had experienced over the years had worn away his pride as a prince, and he even felt a little inferior when faced with Lin Jiuer's confession.

Lin Jiuer didn't want to force him anymore, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, you must not have thought it through yet. I won't force you. Go back and think about it carefully. Answer me when you have thought it through."

Shen Yi hummed softly. He really needed to go back and think about it carefully.

"I've asked someone to prepare dinner and hot water for you. After dinner, take a bath and have a good rest."

"Thank you, Miss. I'll go back now."

"Shen Yi, my man doesn't have to be a prominent figure, but he must have only me in his heart. If you can accept this condition, and if you think you like me, then after I reach the age of 15 in two months, we can make an engagement, okay?"

Shen Yi looked at Lin Jiuer deeply. This condition seemed simple. If it was an ordinary family, it was not impossible for a couple to be together for life.

But if he were to sit in that position in the future, he had never thought about this question. Besides, he had nothing now, so how could he be qualified to talk about marriage with her?

"I know, I will seriously consider it."

After Shen Yi returned, he ate a quick meal and soaked in the bathtub.

All he could think about was what Lin Jiuer had just said. He knew that he shouldn't develop any romantic feelings at this moment, as this would only slow down his speed in drawing his sword.

But he felt a little regretful and reluctant to refuse like that. He felt he couldn't express it and his mood was very complicated.

He didn't know if this emotion could be considered love.

As the night deepened, the water in the tub grew cold before he got up. Lin Jiuer did not force him, so he planned to think about it for a few more days.

Suddenly there was a knock on the window, followed by a cat's meow.

He pushed open the window and a dark figure flashed in.

"Master, we have won over a deputy commander of the camp outside Beijing. His father used to be General Shen's deputy."

Shen Yi's heart moved. If he had started earlier and waited for him to reach a high position, would he be qualified to say that he liked him?

He still looked calm as he patted the man in black on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The man in black was named Mo Yan. He was one of the secret guards chosen for him by his mother. Now, the other secret guards were either dead or scattered, and only he stayed by his side, doing his best to help him contact people outside and pass on messages to him.

Mo Yan looked at Nangong Yi's expression and always felt that his master seemed to have something on his mind.

Nangong Yi took out a stack of banknotes from under the pillow: "Here is this for you. Take it to improve the food for the brothers. Buy whatever they need."

Mo Yan was not polite, he said happily: "Master, that's great, the brothers haven't eaten meat for a long time, but where did you get this banknote?"

"Don't worry about it. Just use it. Let the brothers practice diligently. It seems that the time is coming soon."
