The Killer's Cleansing Manual
Chapter 20 The feeling of oppression from the foster mother
Lin Shanjuan took the imperial edict in his hand and replied, "I know."
Xiaodunzi nodded and bowed, "Then your highness, Prince Consort, I will take my leave now."
Xihe said politely, "Thank you for your help, eunuch."
"Don't dare."
"Xiao'er, see your father-in-law off."
The maid who had just bumped into Lin Shanjuan shuddered and hurriedly got up to see him off.
She walked past Lin Shanjuan with her head lowered, and Lin Shanjuan couldn't help but take another look - no wonder she was picked up in one hand, why are all these little girls so thin?
"Prince Consort, what are you looking at?" Xihe's voice suddenly sounded with a hint of coldness.
Lin Shanjuan quickly came to his senses and told the truth: "No, I just think they are too thin."
Xihe simply didn't understand what she was thinking and chuckled, "The Prince Consort is really kind and compassionate to women. He has a soft heart."
As soon as the words fell, the hearts of the other maids were in their throats. Anyone could hear the sourness in the prince's words. How could this prince consort be so bad at coaxing people that he implicated them, the innocent servants, with just one sentence!
Lin Shanjuan could tell that her sourness was a deliberate expression, probably trying to mislead someone, so he simply went along with her.
She walked to Xihe with an apologetic smile, and under the latter's puzzled gaze, she lightly put her arm around her waist and helped her up.
Xihe's eyes turned cold, and then he saw that Lin Shanjuan's hand was only holding the belt, which was still quite restrained.
"Don't be upset, Your Highness. I'm just worried that others will say that Your Highness is being harsh on his servants. I only care about you. No other Xiangyu can compare to Your Highness."
She racked her brains to say those corny words, feeling like her teeth were about to fall out with sourness. She completely ignored Bai Shu's shocked expression and walked stiffly towards the backyard with Xihe, who was gradually cooperating.
The two of them acted like they were inseparable and were undoubtedly in love.
In fact, one of them was thinking: If she really dares to hug me, I will kill her.
One thought: This yard is so big, how long will it take to walk to the end? Pretending to be affectionate is not as fun as painting flowers.
It was not until they entered the Heyang Palace and Yue Liu had just closed the door that Lin Shanjuan quickly withdrew his hand before Xihe could say anything.
Xihe raised her eyebrows slightly - she saw that he was trying to put on a show, so she did it on purpose?
"Why is the prince consort so unfamiliar when he is around people?" Xihe asked with a smile.
Lin Shanjuan was stunned. Huh? Is there a spy hiding in this room?
She thought she reacted quickly, and as she had just withdrawn her hand, she immediately took the lead in straightening the chair.
"No, I'm here to get you a chair. Come and sit down."
Xihe looked at her forced and stiff excuse, suppressed his laughter and sat down, wanting to order her around, and raised one hand proudly.
"Would your Highness be willing to give me a shoulder massage?"
Lin Shanjuan paused for a second, then walked around behind her and started massaging her shoulders.
Is this spy still here? Can I find him?
The comfortable force gradually relieved the soreness in her shoulders and neck. Xihe's gaze fell on the base of her left hand, and a thick layer of calluses caught her attention.
Most of the people who have calluses here are archers. Could it be that this person can also shoot arrows?
"Can the Prince Consort know martial arts?"
武?
Lin Shanjuan thought about his own skills and didn't exaggerate. "It's just to keep fit. My mediocre skills are not worth mentioning."
After she said this, Xihe became more concerned about the calluses on his knuckles.
Lin Shanjuan was also wondering why she suddenly asked this. As he was distracted, the strength of his hands inevitably became light and heavy, which hurt Xihe.
"No need to press it!" She suddenly stopped him. Lin Shanjuan withdrew his hand, but he could hear something wrong in her tone and subconsciously leaned over to ask, "What's wrong?"
Xihe took a breath and put on a smiling face: "Since your heart is not here, there is no need to trouble you. The nanny will be here tomorrow, so you should go to the side hall to make preparations."
Weren't you enjoying it just now? Why are you suddenly angry again?
Lin Shanjuan couldn't understand her temper, but he was relieved to hear that he could leave and left happily.
It seemed that the spy had left, she guessed.
As soon as Lin Shanjuan left, Xihe had the same thought in his mind - the spy was gone.
She rubbed the painful spot on her neck and told Yue Liu, "She has calluses on her knuckles, so she's probably good at archery. Find some time to test her."
Yue Liu agreed and hesitated, "How about calling someone else to serve His Highness?"
Ever since Hua'er was exposed, I don't know whether Xihe felt heartbroken or on guard, but no maid was willing to serve him personally anymore.
Xihe thought about what he had just seen and said thoughtfully, "Let's call Xiao'er over here. She seems to have some connection with Lin Shanjuan, so why not keep her close to us?"
-
The next day, Lin Shanjuan met the four smiling governesses. They were all wearing very dark-colored clothes, and even the wrinkles on their faces were so similar, as if four NPCs were lined up and saluted Lin Shanjuan together.
Lin Shanjuan felt that the energy he had accumulated throughout the night quickly disappeared as soon as they met.
She was extremely reluctant to accept this fact and always felt as if she saw four Chinese teachers standing in front of her.
"I've met the Prince Consort."
Lin Shanjuan touched his face. Before he could say a polite word, the four maids filled his head with knowledge.
She felt like an intestine, which had been stuffed from a comfortable, shriveled state into an uncomfortably swollen state by four maids.
This is the real mental abuse!
This is simply brainwashing!!
Lin Shanjuan was in great pain and could not bear it after listening for half a minute. He ran to Bai Shu to get some peace and quiet while the maids went to have dinner.
But this action directly angered the nanny - as a female consort who was unprecedented and unparalleled, she actually sneaked into a man's room before getting married? ? ?
It seemed like all the talk this afternoon had gone to waste! The leading nanny raised her arms and shouted, "We've been sent here by the princess, and today we must clarify the etiquette with the prince consort!"
Lin Shanjuan felt as if the sky had fallen. She seemed to hear what these four people really wanted to say -
Ladies, this guy is shameless! Stop talking! I'm working overtime tonight!
Bai Shu was helpless. In fact, not only was he helpless, he was also sent to sleep on the servants' bunk bed on the charge of "obstructing the son-in-law from learning etiquette."
The four maids spent an entire afternoon and half an evening providing deep spiritual counseling to Lin Shanjuan.
At that time, Lin Shanjuan's eyes were dull, and even the urge to kill revived. Thinking of his current situation, he forced himself to suppress it.
After respectfully seeing the nanny off, Lin Shanjuan's stomach started to growl - she hadn't eaten dinner.
After being tortured for so long, she was already dizzy with hunger, and she groped her way to the kitchen to find something to eat.
It was late at night and the palace was quiet, with only three or four teams of guards walking around.
The sentence "Don't walk around late at night" automatically popped up in his mind. Lin Shanjuan was startled and quickly listened to it - Damn it, how could I really be brainwashed!
