Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly
Chapter 299: The Sickly Cousin in a Female-Dominant Novel (22)
"Hey! That's exactly what she said." As if someone had spoken the truth, Lin Xi suddenly slammed the table and shouted, which scared Wanqi Changge who was sitting opposite her.
"How about that?"
Wanqi Changge was very disgusted with Lin Xi's startled look. Isn't it said that the criminal justice department's Sikou is meticulous and never shows his emotions? Why is this person in front of him like an ignorant and reckless woman, with all his thoughts written on his face?
Fortunately, her purpose today was to lead Lin Xi to speak out her true feelings about disliking Chang Sun Yan. Therefore, although she was very impatient with her in her heart, she still endured it and persuaded her patiently.
"What are you saying..." Lin Xi dragged out her words under Wanqi Changge's eager eyes. After whetting her appetite, she suddenly changed the subject and shook her head angrily, "It's simply alarmist!"
"I also thought... Hmm? What did you say?" The triumphant smile on Wanqi Changge's face froze in an instant before it could fully bloom.
"I think such unfounded words are simply alarmist." Lin Xi repeated his words tirelessly.
Wanqi Changge's expression froze, but he continued to seduce her, "Although I don't believe it either, but you just got engaged to Changsun Langjun, and then there was an assassination. Your life is hanging by a thread. I think you will have some resentment in your heart."
"Your Highness, what are you talking about?" Hearing this, Lin Xi's eyes widened in surprise, and he shook his head in disapproval. "Wasn't it Anle Hou who was responsible for my assassination? His Majesty has issued an order, could it be that the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have found out some secrets while I was recovering from my injuries for so many days?"
"Of course not..." Thinking of the Anle Marquis's family, whose three clans were ruthlessly exterminated by his own mother, and the more than a hundred officials who were implicated, Wanqi Changge couldn't help but feel a chill on his back and stammered with some guilt.
"Besides, anyone with eyes would not believe such absurd remarks as a dignified and elegant person like Changsun Langjun, and be a fool who cannot distinguish between fish eyes and pearls, Your Highness, don't you think so?" Lin Xi seemed not to notice Wanqi Changge's ugly expression, and asked sincerely.
Although Wanqi Changge lost his life in his previous life due to his poor judgment of people, he was not a stupid person after all. After hearing this, he understood that Lin Xi was mocking him. He became angry and prepared to retort.
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly remembered the person sitting in the private room next door. His heart trembled, and he quickly suppressed it, showing a fake smile and responding vaguely, "Of course there is no such fool."
As expected, after living a new life, he has made some progress. Looking at Wanqi Changge, whose face was distorted due to his suppressed anger, Lin Xi sneered in his heart, but still put on a fake smile and said, "But speaking of this, I have something to thank Your Highness for."
"What's the matter?" Wanqi Changge knew that his goal today could not be achieved, and he was no longer in the mood to play along with Lin Xixu, so he asked casually.
"If it weren't for His Highness's willingness to give up my love, how could I have the honor of marrying Runshi and becoming a perfect match?" When Lin Xi mentioned Changsun Yan, the smile on her face became more genuine. "But my parents are both gone, and this is my first time getting married. I don't know anything, and I don't want to let Runshi down. As the wedding date is approaching, I've been worried day and night these days, and I can't sleep or eat well."
Wanqi Changge didn't want to play along with Lin Xi anymore, but Lin Xi didn't intend to let it go. She took the initiative to make her speech complete and consistent, and smiled as she stabbed Wanqi Changge in the heart.
Even though Wanqi Changge repeatedly warned himself to stay calm in his heart, he still couldn't help but yelled in anger after hearing Lin Xi's words that made him look like a monkey, "Only someone like Lord Lin who stays in the dungeon all day would not mind such a withered tree..."
"Bang!" Wanqi Changge hadn't finished his words when he saw Lin Xi, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly frown and threw the teacup in front of him, which was still wet, towards him.
Wanqi Changge's pupils suddenly shrank, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge to the side, but Lin Xi was too fast, and she had no time to react in a split second. She could only watch the teacup flying towards her face.
"Bang!" The expected pain did not come. Lin Xi seemed to have planned it out long ago. The teacup she threw flew out almost close to Wanqi Changge's ear and hit the wall behind her, breaking into pieces immediately.
Although Wanqi Changge was not hit, she was still splashed half over by the tea that splashed out from the teacup. The brown-red tea flowed down from her shoulders, wetting a large area of her bright yellow robe.
"You! How dare you!" Feeling the wetness on his shoulder, Wanqi Changge came back to his senses from his fright. He stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and said angrily.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. There was a poisonous bee flying behind your ear just now. I was afraid that the bee would hurt your body, so I took action in a hurry." Compared to Wanqi Changge's shock and anger, Lin Xi seemed much calmer. She stood up slowly and said words of apology, but there was no respect on her face.
"What nonsense! How could there be a poisonous bee in the room..." Wanqi Changge was almost amused by Lin Xi's nonchalant attitude. He turned around and pointed at the broken teacup on the ground, and was about to call someone to come in and take Lin Xi down.
But he suddenly stopped talking halfway. It turned out that Lin Xi slowly walked to the pile of debris and gently kicked away a piece of broken porcelain, revealing a wasp as big as two knuckles that was still struggling underneath.
"So, Your Highness can be trusted?" Lin Xi stepped on the poisonous bee's head, forcing it to raise the long poisonous stinger at its tail. She looked up at Wanqi Changge and asked lazily.
Wanqi Changge's chest rose and fell, and it was obvious that he was extremely uneasy at the moment. But after a while, he still forced an extremely ugly smile, and said with gritted teeth: "In this case, I have to thank Lord Lin for saving my life."
"I should be loyal to the emperor and eat his food. Your Highness is the emperor's beloved daughter, so I am naturally concerned about your safety." Hearing Wanqi Changge's extremely reluctant thanks, Lin Xi chuckled, raised her foot and stepped on the poisonous bee that was raising its tail to fight back, crushing it to death under her feet, and said calmly.
"It's getting late today, and I still have official business to attend to in the Criminal Justice Department. I can't stay any longer, so I'll leave first. Thank you, Your Highness, for your hospitality today. I'm very grateful." After doing all this, Lin Xi looked up at Wanqi Changge, bowed to her, and then without waiting for Wanqi Changge's response, turned around and strode out of the private room.
