Marrying Gold and Jade

Since Qingdai asked this, it must be someone they all know.

Apart from staying by Xu Jinxuan's side, Lin Yu stayed in this room and never went out for a walk, so she could only shake her head.

"Who?"

"Butler Qi!" Qingdai could hardly hide her surprise, "He is the master's most capable assistant. Is he going to follow us to the capital?"

Housekeeper Qi was on the boat, but no one in her family told her.

She had heard Lin Ji talk about Uncle Qi's past. The young talent took a wrong step and missed the chance to marry his mother. He ended up in the Lin Mansion after many twists and turns.

Zhu Lian didn't notice him either, so she asked Qing Dai, "Where did you see it?"

"When I passed by the Fifth Prince's door, I saw him coming out."

Zhu Lian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe it's hard to manage the family property, so the master sent me here."

Lin Jianchang almost burst into tears under the carriage. The two maids standing under the carriage saw it clearly.

Lin Yu smelled something wrong.

No matter how difficult it is to manage money, since it has been given to Xu Jinxuan, he can just send someone to take over. Why bother with bringing someone from the Lin family?

"I want to meet Uncle Qi when I have the chance tomorrow."

Deep down in her heart, she had a thought that she wanted to think the worst of people, and she had to meet the person and ask him in person to make it come true.

The night was calm.

"What are you doing seeing him?"

Xu Jinxuan was not used to getting up early. When he was in the mountains, he would usually sleep until noon before getting up.

Today, she knocked on the door outside before she reluctantly got up to wash and dress, and met people lazily.

Lin Yu also realized that she had disturbed him, but there was no one serving him and no one outside the door to stop her, so she came in unhindered.

"I have something to ask him."

Since she had seen everyone, it was not difficult for Xu Jinxuan to guess what she wanted to ask.

"It's the same if you ask me."

The thin young man was leaning against the table. His posture was not very straight and his complexion was still a little pale, but fortunately he had a good-looking appearance and his laziness made him look unconventional.

Lin Yu didn't want to ask him.

Although she was somewhat used to it now, when she got close to him, she would often forget what she originally wanted to say. The feeling of emptiness that had long appeared in her body would become stronger, tempting her to get closer to the man.

"No need, just help me call him over."

She refused, and Xu Jinxuan looked up at her, "I said, ask me."

"I know this without you even asking. I'm telling you, he sold your family to earn a future for himself."

Her thoughts were suddenly revealed, and Lin Yu turned to look at him, still a little hesitant.

"What, you don't believe it?"

Xu Jinxuan said lightly: "He knows everything about your Lin family, and knows your mother's past, and he can also tamper with the Lin family shop."

"Lin Yu, can you find a second person?"

Can't.

It was the combination of these events, and the appearance of Butler Qi on the ship heading north, that aroused Lin Yu's suspicion.

She didn't really trust Xu Jinxuan, but she could understand why he did that.

Although he was banned from taking imperial examinations in this life, his heart was still alive.

He found a way that might be described as devilish and crooked, but it was indeed the most effective.

While she was lost in thought, the man had stood in front of her without her noticing. His slightly sharp eyes looked down, trying to see the expression on her face.

Lin Yu suddenly couldn't think of anything and took a step back silently.

"Remember to come to my room tonight."

The tone of voice is unclear and gives people a chill down their spine.

Lin Yu ran out almost immediately, but did not give up and continued to look for Butler Qi.

However, there were too few of her own people on the ship, and Butler Qi only appeared for a brief moment and then disappeared immediately.

As the sky darkened, she became even more upset when she thought of what Xu Jinxuan said in the morning.

Lin Yu opened the window and could see the fleet following behind him.

It would be nice if Lin Ji was around.

She could see Lin Ji's boat, and Lin Ji could see his own, but the two of them never met again.

The wind on the river was cool, and Lin Yu wrapped himself tightly in his cloak. Soon, he could not bear it anymore and closed the window.

Meals were delivered to each room. She became even more nervous after dinner. She simply washed up and wrapped herself tightly before she dared to knock on Xu Jinxuan's door.

There was silence from inside for a while, and when I opened the door, it was Yunniang.

She was obviously very dissatisfied with Lin Yu's appearance. She looked him up and down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Jinxuan in the room answered for her: "I asked her to come."

"You obviously..."

It could be heard that Yunniang wanted to scold, but as she turned around, the words did not come out and she moved aside to make way.

"come in."

Only then did Lin Yu see the situation in the house clearly. There were a lot of bottles and jars inside, and he didn't know what they were for.

"come over."

Xu Jinxuan's bed curtains were drawn. Lin Yu moved towards the bed. As soon as a corner of the curtains was lifted, she saw the man's naked upper body and turned around in fright.

She was shy, but Yunniang was used to it.

He took the jade bottle containing the poisonous insect to the bedside and motioned Xu Jinxuan to stretch out his hand.

This is the last gathering of poison.

If he can drain all the toxins out of his body by his twentieth birthday, he will be able to become a normal person and have healthy children in the future.

But this process is extremely painful and difficult for ordinary people to endure.

Seeing that she turned her back to avoid suspicion, Xu Jinxuan had to speak again: "I asked you to come over."

He looked up again and gave Yunniang a look.

The pain from the poison was extremely severe and occurred once a month. Yunniang would do whatever he wanted on that day.

She placed the jade bottle on the incense table beside the bed, and turned around and left.

Lin Yu carefully moved to the bedside, but he didn't dare to look around. He could only ask in a stiff voice: "What are you going to do?"

Xu Jinxuan had already taken the jade bottle and looked into it. The poisonous insect inside was very active. Once it entered the body, it would cause chaos in the blood and make the person lose consciousness.

Xu Jinxuan will not lose consciousness, but this makes him more awake and more susceptible to pain.

"The bed has been wiped, sit down."

Lin Yu hesitated for only a moment. Since she was not asked to go to the bed, she leaned against the bed, put on her clothes and sat on the floor.

There was a heat source approaching from behind, and it was not difficult to guess that it was Xu Jinxuan sticking his head out of the tent.

She was wrapped tightly, with only half an inch of skin showing on her slender white neck.

But the tighter you cover it, the more you want to peel it off.

"If I can't help it later..."

The cool breath from his nose sprayed on his skin, and Lin Yu couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Then I heard him say, "Can I bite you?"

She was so frightened that she immediately dodged to the side, "What on earth are you going to do!"

I turned around and looked up, but was only met with a playful smile in the corner of his eyes.

Xu Jinxuan stood up and pointed the mouth of the jade bottle at his arm, "Look."

Lin Yu saw a small black insect that stayed on his wrist for a moment and then disappeared immediately.

Veins bulged on that thin arm, and it even began to tremble slightly.
