Chapter 220 Kick Away
When Xu Rongrong came out of Fan Tower, she felt indescribably embarrassed. She wanted to bury herself completely in the cloak to cover her red cheeks and swollen lips.
She really didn't want to see Mu Rong again, but the man held her arms tightly and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
He naturally didn't care about Xu Rongrong's angry glare.
The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that the imperial guards moved too quickly and the blockade lasted too short, causing him to only eat half full.
The carriage stopped in front of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, and a group of servants came forward to greet them.
Just like when they came, when they returned home, Mu Rong personally carried Xu Rongrong out of the car.
The servants in the mansion lowered their heads and eyes, looked at their noses and their noses at their hearts, as if they saw nothing, and just bowed and bent down to welcome their master back to the mansion.
Xu Rongrong twisted Mu Rong's arm through his cloak.
"Rongrong, you're naughty. Aren't you afraid that I'll get hurt by you and fall down accidentally?"
Xu Rongrong was startled when she heard this. If she fell, wouldn't everyone in the mansion see her? So she subconsciously grabbed Mu Rong's clothes...
Mu Rong smiled, and under the illumination of the lantern in front of the door, he emitted a gentle and thoughtful arc of light.
At the corner, a pair of eyes were fixed on him.
A figure shrouded in a black cloak was trembling slightly.
The cloak was attached to a black hood, covering Lin Jiaoyue's face, which was severely distorted by jealousy.
She dug her fingers fiercely into the cracks in the wall, not caring even if blood flowed out: originally, such affection, such tenderness, such honor, were all hers, hers! But now, she could only watch secretly, allowing others to take away everything that originally belonged to her!
What does she have now?
Brother? The tendons and veins in your hands and feet are damaged. You won’t be able to lift a gun or ride a horse in the future. You’ll be a cripple for sure!
Mother? Judging by her recent attitude towards me, I must have known that I was involved in my brother's injury. Although I hid it from my father, I'm sure she wouldn't forgive me. But it didn't matter. Mother was the most useless person in the mansion.
She only cared about what her father thought of her. It was obvious that her father no longer had any hope for her after she failed in front of His Majesty.
If this is true, then her future will surely fall into darkness.
She couldn't tolerate this happening. With her brother crippled, her chance had come. If she could reconnect with the Fourth Prince, Wu Tianqi, her father would surely look upon her differently. However, having lost his title as Princess, the Fourth Prince also treated her with indifference.
The only way to regain his attention now is to give him what he wants most.
All he wanted was a high-ranking and powerful court official.
His father is one, and the Minister of Rites is also an excellent bargaining chip.
So, she decided to give her handkerchief to Cheng Jintong, the only granddaughter of the Minister of Rites, and send it to that man's bed.
She looked at the perfect couple in front of her, and then thought about what she was about to do.
She's disgusting!
And all this disgusting thing was caused by them!
The hatred in her eyes naturally did not escape the eyes of others.
Ever since the incident in the southern suburbs, Lin Jiaoyue has been followed by a guard from the Marquisate with excellent lightness skills. Her every move cannot escape Mu Rong's eyes.
That night, Mu Rong knew.
During the time when Mu Ai was injured by Chu He, the people in charge of external affairs in the Marquis' Mansion were Mu Wu and Mu Lu.
After assassinating the Chang family members, Mu Wu went into hiding.
The news about Lin Jiaoyue was naturally delivered by Mu Lu.
In the study, Mu Rong was reading "Seventy-two Ways to Chase a Wife". He had been busy a few days ago and had put the book away. Now that everything was going well, it was time to revisit it.
But when his subordinates came over, he put it away.
Listening patiently to Mu Lu's words: "...Sir, Lin Jiaoyue has repeatedly plotted against the eldest lady, do you want to take action against her now?"
Mu Rong narrowed his eyes: "Do it? Do you want to kill her?"
The young guard was choked by his own lord's unclear words: "Ah? Yes... yes... is it okay?" For a moment, his mind was in turmoil:
What? Has the Marquis not yet let go of Miss Lin?
Ah, this... what should I do? If I encourage the Marquis to kill her, wouldn't that be like walking on the edge of a knife?
What if the Marquis is thinking of marrying a beautiful woman to Qi, then when Miss Lin comes into the mansion in the future, won’t he be the first one to be sacrificed?
It’s over! It’s over! It’s over!
Mu Lu's heart was trembling at this moment.
Fortunately, Mu Rong didn't let him panic for too long.
"If we just kill her, wouldn't that be too easy?"
Mu Lu: “…”
It was so dangerous, so dangerous, it almost scared him to death just now!
The Marquis is right! The eldest lady has suffered so much and endured so much pain, how can she let that Lin guy get away with it? He must let her suffer the most! Mu Lu muttered in his heart.
Outside the Marquis' Mansion, although Lin Jiaoyue was unwilling, she still gritted her teeth and left.
She looked up at the dark night, waiting for the Flower Festival on February 12th.
She left the house this time to see Cheng Jintong. She knew that the girl had a crush on Wu Tianqi, so she laid out the bait.
Sure enough, she just mentioned Wu Tianqi's name briefly, and Cheng Jintong was like a deer in love, with her eyes and eyebrows full of joy, and she kept asking her questions.
But when I mentioned inviting her to the Flower Festival Garden Party, she hesitated:
"Grandfather and Daddy said that your family has been busy lately and asked me not to disturb you..."
Lin Jiaoyue sneered in her heart when she heard this: It seems that the news that my brother has become a disabled person has spread among his colleagues in the capital.
What do you mean by not disturbing her... It's just that he wants to avoid her because he sees the Lin family is declining.
My elder brother is a military general. Now his tendons and veins in his hands and feet are damaged. He will never be able to return to the Jingji Guard in the future. At most, he will be given a sinecure. My father only has my elder brother as his only son. If my brother's future is gone, the Lin family will have no one to rely on.
Even though his father is still the powerful Minister of War, without a capable son, he is nothing in the eyes of others.
Huh, she can't allow the Lin family to fall like this!
So, she shook her head slightly, a look of regret on her face: "What should I do? I heard that the Fourth Prince will also be attending the garden party on the Flower Festival."
Cheng Jintong smiled and said, "It's okay. Miss He also invited me to go with her a few days ago. Maybe I can meet him."
Cheng Jintong doesn't have only Lin Jiaoyue as her close friend. Recently, the young ladies from the He and Xu families have been flocking to her.
Lin Jiaoyue's expression was gloomy, but she smiled the next moment. "It would be best if someone goes with you. I was worried that the rules in your house were strict and they would restrict you and not let you go out."
"Father certainly didn't want me to go out before, but I'm coming of age this summer, and Mother has recently agreed with Father to let me go out to meet friends. I think going to the garden party shouldn't be a problem. I can just take a few more maids with me."
Is he determined to kick himself away?
