Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Cheng Jinchu originally thought that after sending Aunt Mo away, she could rest in peace for a while, but unexpectedly, someone came to tell her that the young lady from the Ling Mansion was looking for her.

Cheng Jinchu couldn't remember who this young lady from the Ling Mansion was for a while, and Chengzi reminded her at this time.

[At the beginning, it was Ling Zixin]

Cheng Jinchu immediately remembered the person who strongly opposed Ning Jiaoer marrying Xie Yu.

Cheng Jinchu felt so sorry for herself that she couldn't sleep, so she asked the doorman to bring Ling Zixin to her.

Cheng Jinchu didn't have to wait long before he saw a green figure coming in.

Ling Zixin was wearing a green dress. Her injuries seemed not to have healed yet and her face was still very pale. When she saw Cheng Jinchu, she lowered her eyes and spoke softly.

"I, I heard that you came back today. It was indeed impolite to come here in a hurry, but I have something very important to tell you.

Cheng Jinchu nodded, took her to his room, and asked Yunzhi to wait outside.

“Have a cup of tea first!”

Cheng Jinchu poured a cup of tea for Ling Zixin and placed it in front of her. Ling Zixin picked it up and drank it.

Since she came in, Ling Zixin seemed a little silent. She drank the tea and put the cup on the table, seeming to be still thinking about something. Cheng Jinchu didn't rush her. She waited for her to organize her words and think about what to say before she listened carefully.

However, when Ling Zixin came to find Cheng Jinchu, Cheng Jinchu probably guessed that she wanted his help in stopping Ning Jiaoer from marrying into the Duke's Mansion.

Cheng Jinchu didn't know why Ling Zixin came to her. Was her acting so bad? Ling Zixin also saw that she didn't want the two of them to be together, so was Ling Zixin looking for an ally?

"I came to see you today because of Yuanyuan's matter."

Cheng Jinchu nodded. Ning Jiaoer was the only person they had in common.

"That's right, my power is limited. If possible, can you help me?"

"Why do you think I would help you? Besides, you see, I am just an unpopular young lady in the Shen family. My father is only the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. To be honest, I am surprised that you can come to me."

Ling Zixin lowered her head. She came here because she knew Cheng Jinchu could help her!

"When I first met you, I was at the Marquis' Mansion. Yuanyuan liked you very much. I think she treated you as her sister, so I thought that if she got into trouble, you would help her, right?"

Cheng Jinchu took a piece of cake and took a bite, looking at Ling Zixin, waiting for her next words.

"So, I want to ask you to help me stop Yuanyuan from marrying Xie Yu."

Cheng Jinchu put down the half-eaten piece of cake, picked up the handkerchief beside him and wiped his hands.

"What if Yuanyuan really likes Xie Yu? What if you accidentally break up a couple of lovers?"

"No! No matter what, I will not let Yuanyuan marry that man."

Ling Zixin was very excited, and her excitement was mixed with anger. Her excitement made Cheng Jinchu a little curious. She wondered why Ling Zixin had such an emotion.

Is it because of her brother?

Or maybe she knew something and that's why she acted like this.

Cheng Jinchu is more inclined to the second reason.

"Ms. Ling also knows that we met through Yuanyuan. We are not familiar with each other. To be honest, I like Yuanyuan very much. She is very cute and kind. I don't want her to marry badly. But you came here today and asked me to help you stop Yuanyuan from marrying Xie Yu. I am curious. You want me to know why it is not the case, right?"

Ling Zixin bit her lip.

"The day before yesterday, I got a piece of news that the concubine that Duke Xie liked the most was pregnant. I don't know if you saw that concubine the last time you went to the Duke Xie's mansion."

Cheng Jinchu nodded.

"I saw her. She is very beautiful. It is true that young and beautiful women make old and ugly women even less competitive. She is indeed very favored in the mansion, even more than the Duke's wife."

"Yes, that woman was given to the Duke. In the Duke's mansion, she was even called Madam, and the servants served her as if she were Madam. The Duke's Madam only had the position of a legal wife."

Ling Zixin went on to add, however, even if she didn’t say it, Cheng Jinchu knew it.

"Then what? What does this have to do with Yuanyuan not being able to marry Xie Yu?"

Ling Zixin took a deep breath.

"If I say that the concubine is pregnant with Xie Yu's child, would you believe it?"

Believe it! Of course I believe it! Cheng Jinchu even heard it at that time... ahem...

Well... But Cheng Jinchu couldn't just say he believed it. Most people wouldn't believe it when they heard such shocking news, and they would have to act shocked.

Cheng Jinchu pretended to be incredulous. She widened her eyes, stood up suddenly, and looked at Ling Zixin. It took her a long time to find her voice. She took a deep breath and then started speaking.

"Don't say such things. That concubine is his father's woman. How could she be pregnant with his child?"

Ling Zixin had a sarcastic smile on her face.

"Humph~ What's impossible? Xie Yu only looks like a gentleman on the outside. He pretends to like Yuanyuan very much, but that doesn't stop him from being affectionate! He just likes simple women to be his wives to help him keep up appearances, but he also likes women who are open-minded and know how to have fun.

He presented himself to others as a gentle and modest gentleman. Naturally, his love for visiting brothels was totally inconsistent with that image.

I have no idea what kind of person Xie Yu is. He said he likes Yuanyuan and likes her so much that he wants to possess her, and he has affairs with many women.

You say, if he could be more direct and marry all those women, it would be fine, but he likes to play the role of a loyal person, and he wants outsiders to think that he only has Yuanyuan as a woman, and he even swears that he and Yuanyuan will be together for the rest of their lives! How hypocritical! "

"what?"

Cheng Jinchu didn't quite understand Ling Zixin's next words. Did Xie Yu promise those words? Ning Jiao'er seemed to have never been together with Xie Yu except for the Lantern Festival. Did they say they would be together for life?

She had trouble following the last few sentences.

"I mean, if they get married in the future, everything I said will come true, and Xie Yu will definitely play the role of a loving wife, but you see, he is now involved with his father's woman."

Cheng Jinchu certainly knew that what Ling Zixin said was right, but as an uninformed person who had never investigated these matters, she still needed to express her doubts.

"You said he was having an affair with that concubine, but I can't just listen to your one-sided story!"

Ling Zixin smiled.

"I know it's hard to believe, but I'm here to tell you something today. It's going to happen soon, and I can take the girl to see it then."

Cheng Jinchu was very interested.

"whats the matter?"

Ling Zixin curled her lips and smiled.

"Not long after, this concubine will bleed to death due to miscarriage, but she will only die as a concubine. Xie Yu will take her to live somewhere else."

"Actually, you can take Yuanyuan to see it. That way, she won't..."

"No! Yuanyuan can't go. She has been monitored by Xie Yu's people. He will never allow Yuanyuan to know this. If he rashly transfers these people away, Xie Yu will be alert."
