Marrying Gold and Jade

On the big ship, Lin Yu held the amulet and stared at it for a long time.

She clearly didn't want to cry, but the more she held back tears, the more sad she became. When the first tear fell, Xu Jinxuan also walked to her bedside.

She immediately lay down with the small object in her palm, not wanting anyone to see her loss of composure.

But Xu Jinxuan refused and picked her up again.

"All go out."

These words were spoken to the two maids. Qingdai naturally wanted to stay and take care of them, but this was Xu Jinxuan's room, and it would be inconvenient for her to come back in once she left.

"Your Highness, the girl's fever has not subsided yet..."

She was afraid that Xu Jinxuan would not behave himself, so he wanted to make trouble for Lin Yu right after sending Lin Ji away.

Xu Jinxuan glanced at her sideways, then focused his eyes back on Lin Yu and said, "Go out and kneel down."

Qingdai didn't dare to say anything.

Afraid that he might be doing Lin Yu a disservice, he just said "yes" and was about to leave.

It was so cold at night when winter just began. Qingdai was not wearing thick clothes and she had never experienced such hardship when she was at home.

Lin Yu held back her tears of grievance and said in a hoarse voice: "Why? Qingdai did nothing wrong."

The man raised his eyebrows and said, "It's her fault for disobeying me."

She had no close brothers or sisters since she was a child, and the personal maid who had been with her all year round was like a sister to her and would never punish her for the slightest "disobedience".

"She's mine, I don't want her to kneel!"

One of her arms was still stuck in Xu Jinxuan's palm. She shouted this sentence with great force, and her already burning throat suddenly felt a sharp pain, causing her voice to become hoarse.

Xu Jinxuan stared at her again and again, and seeing that she temporarily put aside the man who had just left, the anger in his heart was almost subsided.

"Where do you think this is?" he said nastily, "Lin Yu, this is not your home."

Of course Lin Yu knew.

So as long as he doesn't go too far and doesn't hurt herself, she can endure anything.

Now we have to add one more rule: don’t harm the people around you.

Qingdai couldn't bear to see her being wronged, let alone because of herself. She was about to take the blame when Zhu Lian beside her grabbed her arm.

As soon as he was distracted, Lin Yu spoke: "Then can you please not punish her?"

His tone softened, and although there was some begging in it, it was mostly reluctant.

Xu Jinxuan loves to see this look.

Although he said soft words, the resentment in his heart was written all over his face.

Extremely interesting.

Glancing at the two maids still standing beside them, Zhu Lian immediately understood what was meant. She took Qingdai's hand, bowed, and hurried out.

The cool wind scraped across her face like a blunt knife. Qing Dai asked blankly, "Then...should I still kneel?"

Zhu Lian let go of her arm and just said, "We just need to listen to the young lady."

"Really?" She was skeptical.

No matter how you look at it, my daughter always loses in front of men and doesn't seem to be able to make the decision.

The two walked onto the deck, and when the light from the room was no longer shining on them, Zhu Lian lowered his voice and leaned closer to say, "He was able to get Master Ji on board, what do you think?"

Qingdai was suddenly enlightened and murmured, "Yes..."

He could give in to that. Whether he was punished to kneel or not was simply an insignificant matter.

Qingdai looked at the red curtain beside her. It was too dark outside and she could only make out a vague outline of herself.

"Zhu Lian, I wish I were as smart as you."

Zhu Lian said, "Sometimes it is a good thing to live a simple life. Just remember, when you go to the palace, you must not disobey other nobles."

Qingdai nodded and took these words to heart.

inside the house.

As to whether Qingdai could be spared the punishment, Xu Jinxuan did not say anything more. He just raised his hand and touched her forehead.

It was still very hot, and seemed no different from the morning.

Lin Yu was feeling awkward when suddenly he felt a cool fingertip dig into his palm, and the thing in his hand was snatched away by him before he knew it.

"mine……"

Meeting the man's sidelong gaze, she pursed her lips and dared not say anything.

She can tolerate small things, but won't give in to big things. Xu Jinxuan thought he knew her well.

"What kind of rubbish is this? It's worth your cherishing it so much."

After saying that, she casually tossed the crumpled amulet onto the bedding in front of her.

Lin Yu didn't dare to talk back and quickly rolled the thing back into his palm.

She was still sick, and her rosy face was still a little pale. She said carefully, "I'm sleepy."

"Still feeling sleepy after a day of sleep?"

I sat by her bed the whole day, and when she woke up I just acted like a bad guy, and then she said she was sleepy again.

Even a cat would be more energetic than her.

The girl pursed her lips and said, "I'm sick."

Seeing that Xu Jinxuan was still unhappy, Lin Yu's not-so-clear mind began to work.

"I'm thirsty, give me a glass of water."

The man's tension relaxed and he turned around without saying a word to pour water at the table.

He really likes to serve himself.

Although Lin Yu felt that this conclusion was a bit strange, after he asked him to pour water, he seemed to be less fussy.

The white porcelain cup was handed to Lin Yu's lips, and he took a sip from his hand without hesitation.

Be careful to complain: "It's a bit cold."

Xu Jinxuan always forgets that she is always hotter than him.

Lying on the same couch, if they got a little closer, he would feel very hot.

"Re-brew?"

"No need," Lin Yu just wanted to test his attitude, and when he relaxed, he just said, "I'm really sleepy."

This time Xu Jinxuan didn't stop her from lying down.

Lin Ji had just left, and Lin Yu really didn’t want to talk to him too much.

She was just pretending to sleep, but her already groggy mind pushed her into a dream again.

There were many people in the house during the day, and Xiao Lan would stay nearby and rest at night.

It has come to its senses now, and its bloated body, which has not yet shrunk back to its original shape, snakes to the side of its master, and then stretches out its dark blue head to sniff the girl on the couch.

Thinking of her high fever and the low body temperature of snakes, Xu Jinxuan nodded in tacit agreement.

After getting the nod, Xiao Lan got under the quilt and slid into the girl's arms, consciously pressing against her cheek to cool her down.

Xu Jinxuan doesn't like anything on the couch, but Lin Yu is an exception.

So that night, he spent the whole night on the low couch in the room.

When Lin Yu woke up, he naturally saw a snake head next to his face again.

But she was no longer as frightened as she was the first time she saw it. She could only touch Xiao Lan's body helplessly and found it cool and comfortable.

Xiao Lan was also sensible. She didn't bother with her body when she was sick, but just quietly served as an object to cool off all night.

The couch was narrow, and when Xu Jinxuan stood up he felt pain in his shoulders and neck.

"Ah--"

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the couch.

"what happened?"

Lin Yu hurriedly pulled up the quilt and hugged the big snake that was about to crawl out of the quilt.

"I...call Zhu Lian over." Her complexion seemed to be a little better, and her face was flushed.

Xu Jinxuan stared at them for a moment. He hadn't even washed up, and didn't know which one was Zhu Lian and which one was Qing Dai, so he called both of them over.

Lin Yu didn't dare to move. Looking at the "innocent" snake head beside her face, she quietly said "I'm sorry" to it many times.
