The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 14: Working for Her

Xihe watched her taking bites left and right, and suddenly felt curious - why did she usually think that this pastry was not so delicious?

"I will go to the Emperor to discuss the marriage. It will probably take place in the next few days. Do you have any objections?"

The sooner they get married, the sooner they can help her realize her wish. Lin Shanjuan waved his hand without hesitation: "No, it's up to you to decide."

Xihe nodded, and suddenly became curious - the Huang Yue she had found out was a concubine's daughter of a wealthy family, who was usually very cautious, so how could she be so different from the person in front of her?

Lin Shanjuan noticed that she had been staring at him, so he subconsciously retracted his hand and quickly wiped his mouth: "Did I eat too much?"

Xihe came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, I was just thinking that your personality seems to be very different from what I know."

Lin Shanjuan stopped eating because he really couldn't eat anymore.

From what we know so far, His Highness Xihe is no fool. She didn't even hide it from Bai Shu, so there's no need to hide it from Xihe either.

You will be husband and wife from now on, is there anything you can’t talk about openly?

"Huang Yue is Huang Yue, and I am me. Although I don't know what kind of Huang Yue you know, I, Lin Shanjuan, am just like this."

She glanced at Xihe, who didn't seem surprised. After thinking for a moment, she said considerately, "If you like that type, I can help you find one."

Xihe's composure broke down and she fell completely silent. She realized that this person really had the ability to annoy her with just a few words.

Looking?

Does she really think she likes women?

"No need. Someone will take you there to stay temporarily. I will also inform you when the wedding takes place. Get out!"

Lin Shanjuan, trying to grab the last piece of dessert, was stunned. Wasn't he fine just now? Why did he suddenly get angry? Was he really that moody?

Since she was not allowed to eat it, she was too embarrassed to take it, so she could only get up and leave.

I felt a little reluctant before leaving.

It's the last piece. Oh, I'd better eat it quickly. I'm almost feeling like my internal organs are coming out from riding in the carriage. I have no appetite at all and I'm starving now.

Ugh.

After leaving the house, Bai Shu approached him with a worried look on his face: "How is it?"

Lin Shanjuan followed the maid who led the way, hands behind his back: "What else can I do? Just give in. I'll marry you when the time is right."

Bai Shu opened his mouth in panic: "Huh?"

Lin Shanjuan lifted his chin up in amusement: "What are you talking about? You are my only dowry. Remember to dress yourself up nicely."

Bai Shu scratched his head: "But, then won't we have to live in the capital for a long time in the future?"

Lin Shanjuan looked at him with a half-smile: "You have two choices. One is to continue to be a fugitive, living in the open air; the second is to work for her, where you will have fine clothes, food, money, and a respectable status. No one will dare to arrest you."

Bai Shu had been studying with Lin Shanjuan for several months.

He hesitated for a second before making a decision and changing his attitude:

"Boss, I admire you more and more. You're amazing! From now on, I won't say anything against your opinion! What does this 'part-time job' mean?"

Lin Shanjuan was amused and patted his head: "This is not important. If you can answer multiple-choice questions, you are not stupid. I'm going back first."

When they reached the fork in the road, Lin Shanjuan had now become a young bride-to-be. Bai Shu knew that he could no longer follow her without restraint, so he followed another maid to his residence, full of joy.

Lin Shanjuan was taken by her maid to the side hall where she was temporarily accommodated. Although it was a side hall, it had a large flat area at a glance.

Lin Shanjuan couldn't help but sigh as he walked in: Fortunately, I agreed decisively, otherwise I would never be able to enjoy such a rich and prosperous life!

The maids were all selected from the palace. Needless to say, they were talented and beautiful. They spoke and walked softly, making no sound when walking on the road.

She led Lin Shanjuan to the bathing pool and bowed respectfully.

As a modern man, Lin Shanjuan was not used to having someone help him take a bath, so he declined the maid's request and went into the water alone to take a comfortable hot bath.

On the other side, after Xihe had washed up, she took a sedan chair with several palace maids into the palace.

She still needed to talk to Qi Yili about Lin Shanjuan's matter. Even though there was no need to discuss it with him, she still had to let him know.

——Imperial Palace, Zhaoyang Palace——

Xiaodunzi bowed as he entered the room and said to Qi Yili, who was standing behind the desk in a bright yellow robe:

"Your Majesty, His Highness Xihe has arrived."

Qi Yili's eyebrows lit up with joy, "Hurry up and ask the imperial sister to come in!"

Xiaodunzi responded and went out, and Qi Yili followed him to the door to greet him. He still remembered that Xihe would not allow him to go out of the hall to greet him in a rude manner, so he just stood at the door and waited.

Soon, Xihe entered the hall surrounded by a group of palace maids.

Qi Yili was supported by his elder sister to ascend to the throne since he was a child, and Xihe is his only relative, so his relationship with Xihe is naturally very close.

Seeing that Xihe was about to arrive, he quickly ran back, fearing that he would be scolded again, and pretended that he had not left the desk. He did not drop the pen he was holding in his hand until Xihe stepped into the hall.

"How many times have I told you, if the Imperial Sister is here, just come in directly. Why bother with Xiaodunzi notifying me?"

Xihe stopped and looked at him seriously, "What should you call yourself?"

Qi Yili stuck out his tongue, but he still missed a spot. He quickly apologized and corrected himself with a smile: "I, I just forgot!"

Seeing his sincere attitude, Xihe finally smiled.

Seeing her smile, Qi Yili walked over to her with a smile, thinking that she was here to check her homework again, and took the initiative to push all the things he had prepared in front of her.

"I have been diligently reviewing the ministers' memorials and reviewing my lessons these past few days. I haven't been lazy at all. Please take a look, sister."

Seeing this, Xihe did not mention the matter of marriage for the time being and patiently looked through his homework.

"Yes, it seems that you are able to listen to the teachings of the Grand Tutor."

Qi Yili smiled and sat down. "Grandmaster, you have a kind face and your explanation is easy to understand. I... I like it very much. Thank you for your trouble, my sister."

Xihe smiled and shook his head: "You are more sweet-mouthed. You don't look as angry as you did a few days ago when you were angered by the ministers' memorials."

Qi Yili scratched his head embarrassedly: "At that time... I lost my composure. Now I won't do that. I have found a way to shut them up. Don't worry, sister."

Hey, those old guys haven’t said anything anymore, and my princess doesn’t have to force herself to marry someone else, all thanks to the great idea proposed by the Grand Tutor!

Xihe couldn't help but feel curious: "Hmm? You are quite clever. What method did you come up with? Tell me about it."

Qi Yili chuckled, "The Imperial Tutor's student is now serving as the governor of Jialiang City. My sister probably doesn't know this yet. The official salt that was lost a while ago was embezzled by a group of black-hearted officials in Jialiang City, who then sold it to the people at a high price, making a huge profit."
