Being tortured by her whole family, she no longer pretends to be a real daughter!

But Lin Yusheng didn't know this because she was stupid.

Li Fei gently advised, "Ms. Lin, I advise you not to bet with Xu Lin, because no matter what, Miss Cixi will never eat the fruits you picked."

Lin Yusheng's face remained calm upon hearing this. She said calmly, "I've decided to make a bet with Xu Lin. Let's do this."

To prevent Xu Lin from turning his back on her, she said to the guards, "Can you all bear witness? If I lose, I will personally return the jade token to Jiang Cixi. If I win, Xu Lin will immediately resign as deputy guard."

The guards were very excited and said, "Yes!"

Lin Yusheng retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Lin. "Enough talk, I'm going to go give Jiang Cixi some fruit."

Xu Lin wanted to witness the result with his own eyes, so he naturally followed Lin Yusheng inside.

Li Fei also went to watch the fun under the pretext of reporting his work.

When Lin Yusheng walked into the hall, Jiang Cixi was sitting in the main seat. She had changed into an elegant and conservative cheongsam at some point, but the pressure and nobility on her body did not diminish at all.

There were guests from the royal family talking to her.

Jiang Cixi's eyes were calm as she spoke incoherently.

Soon, the man from the royal family got up and left.

Jiang Cixi then glanced at Lin Yusheng, Xu Lin, and Li Fei standing nearby, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Are you guys okay?"

Lin Yusheng came forward with a basket of fruit in his arms, smiling, and said attentively, "Jiang Cixi, look at what this is?"

Jiang Cixi took a look and asked, "Fruit?"

Lin Yusheng looked at her with his bright eyes. "I picked them from the back mountain. They're very sweet. Would you like to try some?"

Jiang Cixi stared at the girl's attentive face for a few seconds and understood.

"Oh, this is... a bribe for me?"

"Just because I eat your fruit, I have to become your master?"

"No." Lin Yusheng quickly shook his head. "You can eat as much fruit as you want. As for being my master... If you don't want to be one now, then I will work harder and try to make you willing to be my master in the future."

Jiang Cixi found it funny. "Now? Later? If you say so, it's either now or later. Anyway, I will be your master one day, right?"

Lin Yusheng pursed his lips and smiled, "That day will come."

"Are you feeling more confident?" Jiang Cixi didn't know why she was so shameless.

"I still have to have ideals. What if it comes true?"

Lin Yusheng still had a smile on his face. He took a bright red apple from the fruit basket and handed it to Jiang Cixi in a very servile manner. "Have one. I picked it myself and washed it clean."

Jiang Cixi looked at the apple in front of her with a sweet fragrance, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it from Lin Yusheng.

Jiang Cixi held the apple close to her mouth and was about to take a bite when she suddenly heard Xu Lin shout:

"Miss Cixi!"

Jiang Cixi paused, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Lin's sudden response. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Xu Lin stared at the apple in Jiang Cixi's hand and squeezed his palm. He didn't expect that Jiang Cixi actually intended to eat the apple handed to her by Lin Yusheng!

How does this work?

How could Miss Cixi trust Lin Yusheng so much?

"Ms. Cixi, aren't you afraid that the apple Lin Yusheng gave you is poisonous?" Xu Lin said anxiously.

Jiang Cixi sneered, "Poisoned apple? What? Is Lin Yusheng a witch-turned-queen?"

Xu Lin: "...Ms. Cixi, I think you should not easily eat the fruit she offers you. It might actually be poisonous."

Jiang Cixi's face darkened when she heard this. "What? I can't even eat fruit now?"

Xu Lin felt a surge of anger and pressure, and his face paled. "Ms. Cixi, that's not what I meant... It's just that you have a special status, so you'd better be cautious."

Jiang Cixi felt inexplicably angry after hearing this, and her voice became even colder, "Is it your turn to teach me how to do things?"

Xu Lin was so frightened by this that he knelt down, "I dare not, Miss Cixi, I..."

"roll!"

The angry shout frightened Xu Lin so much that he trembled. He had to stand up. Before leaving, he mustered up the courage to look at Jiang Cixi. Seeing that Jiang Cixi still took a bite of the apple, his heart immediately sank.

On the way back, Xu Lin felt like he was floating.

no……

Why would Miss Cixi eat Lin Yusheng’s fruit?

What went wrong.

This kind of thing has never happened before.

Xu Lin's face darkened, he couldn't figure out the problem.

On the other side, Li Fei was also shocked when he saw Jiang Cixi chewing an apple nonchalantly.

Jiang Cixi thought about it and decided that since she was Lin Yusheng’s master before, it would be okay for her to continue to be Lin Yusheng’s master now.

What's more, in terms of talent, this girl does have some of her style back then.

In terms of fighting skills, Xu Lin is no match for her, and neither are those useless people at the door. In terms of archery, Jiang Ximin, the best archer in the Jiang family, is no match for her...

It's a good seedling.

Jiang Cixi ate half of the apple and said calmly, "Lin Yusheng, I agree."

Lin Yusheng was stunned when he heard this.

"what?"

What did she agree to?

Jiang Cixi looked at her and said, "I agree to be your master. I will personally guide you in the future."

Lin Yusheng was stunned.

Li Fei's face changed and he looked at Jiang Cixi in disbelief.

No, why did you agree so easily?

Lin Yusheng reacted and was ecstatic. The little man in her heart was about to fly. She pursed her lips to stop smiling and bowed deeply to Jiang Cixi, "Thank you, Master!"

Jiang Cixi glanced at her and said, "Don't be too proud too soon. My requirements have always been strict."

"I can handle it!" Lin Yusheng said confidently, "I have a very strong ability to withstand pressure!"

Jiang Cixi looked at the bright smile on the girl's face. For some reason, she was distracted for a moment, and the familiar feeling became stronger.

It seems that she and this naughty girl really have a deep connection.

Jiang Cixi looked at Li Fei again, "Li Fei, what did you want to report?"

Li Fei was still in a daze.

"Li Fei?" Jiang Cixi shouted again in dissatisfaction.

Li Fei finally came to his senses and said quickly, "Oh, that's it..."

After Li Fei reported the matter to Jiang Cixi, he left in a daze.

Jiang Cixi's gaze fell on Lin Yusheng again. "I was right when I said I was willing to be your master, but I still need to inform the elders at the family meeting about this matter."

The master-disciple relationship in the Beihan Empire is no joke, and as the head of the Jiang family, taking in a disciple is no joke.

At least she needed to inform the elders of the family so that they all knew about it.

And later on, a ceremony of apprenticeship will be held, which is equivalent to announcing to the entire royal family and all other families that from now on, Lin Yusheng is her apprentice.
