Marrying Gold and Jade

Chapter 173: Upside-down Dream (2)

She regretted it the moment she got into the strange carriage. Her eyes were filled with uncontrollable tears, but she was afraid that people would despise her for crying, so she almost shrank into the corner of the carriage.

As a result, the man got in the car, took a glance at her, and pulled her to his side.

"hand."

Lin Yu hesitated, but still handed it over tremblingly.

The other person looked at her wound and shook his head, then said, "The other one."

As if he was looking at her injuries very carefully.

"Are you really... the Fifth Prince?"

Still not used to such a distant and cautious test, Xu Jinxuan let go of her hand and said, "Xu Jinxuan, my name. Jin means to be promoted, and Xuan means to be summoned."

The dusty girl blinked, seemingly not understanding why he had to give his name. She withdrew her hand and sat further away.

She squatted in the corner for a while, her skirt and back were covered with dust, for fear of dirtying the prince's light-colored robe.

However, Xu Jinxuan thought she was shy and did not force her to sit close to him.

After a while, I heard her timidly say, "My name is Lin Yu, Yu means gold on the left and jade on the right."

He knew, of course he knew, but he acted as if he was hearing it for the first time and responded with a "hmm".

He only brought one person with him when he left the Lin Mansion, so he had to do some shopping before returning to Yunwu Mountain, including clothes, jewelry, and even the Liangji Honey Peach Pancakes that he had not been able to offer before. This time, he included everything.

Lin Yu was fine at first, but was a little confused when she received the order of peach pancakes.

"Your Highness, have you ever seen me before?" Otherwise, how would he know that she liked the peach pancake, and it had to be from Liang's.

Xu Jinxuan said: "I won't answer any of your questions until you call my name."

Then he threw her a difficult question: "Which of these two colors do you like?"

There are two styles of blouses. One is light yellow and embroidered with flowers and plants, which looks like something a young girl waiting to be married would wear; the other is bright red and embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, which makes people suspect that it is something worn under a wedding dress when getting married.

Buying coats and pleated skirts is fine, but how can you buy tight-fitting clothes...

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Jinxuan decided for her: "Take three each."

"No...no way!"

Underwear needs to be changed regularly and you can't have too many identical ones.

So after she stopped the man's decision, she had no choice but to choose six styles herself.

After shopping along the way and following others to the top of the Yunwu Mountain, Lin Yu's restraint seemed to disappear a little.

Just because this man looked fierce but seemed very easy to talk to, she rejected him in a hurry but he didn't react.

It was drizzling when she entered the room, and she was protected tightly by someone's sleeves.

Someone set up a charcoal basin in the house, someone brought hot water for bathing, and everyone acted in an orderly manner.

"come over."

She was pulled by the man to sit down, and the cool ointment was almost applied all over her hand.

Just that morning, she was washing clothes on an empty stomach, and the back of her hands was so painful that blood was flowing out.

"Your Highness..." She wanted to ask, but then she remembered the rules set by the man and changed her words awkwardly, "Xu, Jin, Xuan."

After reading it, she carefully looked at his face.

It wasn't her usual tone, but it was a good start.

"Well," the man responded, trying to remain calm, "Take a shower and change your clothes. I have something to tell you."

Everything happened too suddenly. Lin Yu thought a lot while taking a bath, wondering whether that man would do anything to him.

Unexpectedly, he was quite serious when he spoke, but she was the one who was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

"...You said that I am my parents' biological child, and that Wan Ying was arranged by you?"

"Yes."

"You have planned so much just to find something on my father and get my family's wealth in the name of dowry?"

“Yes.”

Lin Yu pursed her lips, as if she couldn't understand what was going on for a moment.

Xu Jinxuan stared at her and asked, "Aren't you going to hit me?"

In my memory, she had such a flamboyant personality that even though she was under his control, she still showed her temper.

But at this time, Lin Yu had been ostracized at home for half a year and had learned to endure, or it could be said that endurance was all that was left.

Her hands were still covered with the ointment he had applied to her after bathing. Lin Yu only asked, "I dare not, but I don't understand why Your Highness is telling me this."

There was no reply for a long while. When I looked up, I saw him staring at me.

She remembered and changed her tone: "Xu Jinxuan."

"Yeah." He agreed as usual, and then said, "Because I regret it, your money is useless to me."

"Right now, I just want you."

He suddenly leaned closer, and Lin Yu was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly, but she forgot that the round stool had no backrest. When the man came to help her, she subconsciously grabbed his collar.

The result was that the ointment on his hands was all over the fabric of his chest.

"You came here all of a sudden!"

Perhaps it was because of her anger, or perhaps she was frightened, but her naturally savage nature suddenly emerged.

Xu Jinxuan stared at the obviously haggard face in front of him, and suddenly he couldn't suppress his longing for the person anymore, so he pushed the person into his arms regardless of anything.

"What are you doing...let me go!"

"Xu Jinxuan!"

That's it, that's how he should be called.

"Well, it's me."

After hearing his confession, Lin Yu was so angry that she dared not say anything. Now that he was holding her forcefully, she was so angry that she hit him on the back.

"Be gentle," he said, "your hand isn't healed yet."

It was like a punch hitting cotton. Lin Yu saw a giant blue python winding on the ground behind him.

Only then did I realize that I seemed to have entered his snake den.

No matter how she protested, she had to sleep on the same bed with someone at night.

The man threatened her: "Just lie down obediently, I won't do anything."

Lin Yucai didn't believe his lies. She covered herself with the warm quilt that she hadn't felt for a long time, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Why are you crying? When did your eyes become so shallow?"

As he spoke he wiped her tears.

Lin Yu hadn't been treated with care for a long time, and tears flowed like a dam breaking.

But unexpectedly, this man who she met for the first time was very patient with her. He wiped away all her tears until she fell into a deep sleep due to hard work and running around.

She was also very conflicted in her dream. She didn't hate the Fifth Prince, but all the suffering she had endured in the past six months was because of him.

When she finally accepted that she was lying in the same bed with a man she was barely familiar with, Xu Jinxuan began to forcefully promote their relationship.

"I want to marry you."

Facing Lin Yu's horrified face, he added: "No dowry."

Lin Yu tried to calm herself down, her heart was in turmoil, and she replied, "You are dreaming."

"It's not a dream."

Buddhists often say to stay away from upside-down dreams.

Even if everything before his eyes overturned his original reality, Xu Jinxuan would stubbornly believe that this was not a dream.

This time he doesn’t owe anyone a life, he wants to be with people and “live” well.

Lin Yu ignored him, but he took out the ointment and applied it on her. It can be said that his ointment was very effective. All the fine scars had scabbed over, except for a particularly large one.
