100 ways to trick a boy into going to sleep

Chapter 805 Begonia Spring

Li Yin knew about the relationship between Yang Fang and Jin Huan, so he had long guessed that the jade pendant was probably related to her.

But Li Jie didn't know that.

Sending an ex-lover the exact same little wooden plaque is... well, it's bound to cause a stir no matter where you put it.

What's even more shocking is what happened to Wang Ze and Yang Fang. They originally thought it was a token of love between Shen Jinhuan and themselves, but they found out that their sweetheart was incredibly loving and advocated for the equality of all beings. Waaaaah, does anyone understand this?!

Since the people are acting voluntarily, there is no question of whether or not they can take the money with them.

When Li Yin had his steward see the guests off, a subtle, hard-to-describe sense of joy emanated from beneath his usually calm and composed demeanor. However, with two of his annoyances gone, only one remained, so it was indeed too early to be happy.

Sure enough, the fourth brother kept calling her "Miss Begonia."

Li Yin's brows furrowed more and more deeply, and finally he couldn't help but interrupt: "San Hu must not be without manners. Huan'er is my future wife, so you must call her brother and sister-in-law."

Li Jie stiffened his neck, looked at Jin Huan and then at his elder brother. Seeing that no one would back down, he finally had no choice but to reluctantly call out "brother and sister-in-law".

However, while they addressed him that way, their eyes showed absolutely no respect for their elders.

Although Li Yin still harbored resentment, he could only remain in this state for the time being.

In the future, he would keep an eye out for eligible women for Sanhu. Apart from Jinhuan, no matter which noble family's daughter Sanhu took a fancy to, he, as the elder brother, would do everything he could to help him get married.

......

The Qin Prince's mansion in Bingzhou was brightly lit.

Guests often came and went inside.

Many people were sitting in the front hall, discussing among themselves.

The border region had suffered from Turkic invasions for many years, and the Crown Prince and his master had spent a great deal of effort to temporarily suppress them.

Previously, the Crown Prince returned to the capital in triumph, leaving only the King of Qin to guard Bingzhou.

From a broader perspective, the absence of the emperor from the court is always detrimental to the future, yet now the emperor has sent the crown prince to Youzhou.

The situation has suddenly changed, and many things need to be considered carefully.

Fang Qiao pondered for a moment before speaking carefully: "How about sending some more people to Youzhou?"

Both sides are now suspicious of each other. They are trying every means to bring down the Crown Prince, but the other side also wants to kill them. "No, the Emperor is very wary of our master. If we act rashly now, we may anger him."

"Brother Du, be careful with your words." Fang Qiao frowned slightly. Brother Ru Hui was too audacious; how could he speak ill of the Emperor's thoughts behind his back!

If someone with ulterior motives were to overhear this and make a big fuss about it, that would be a terrible disaster.

Du Keming glanced gratefully at Fang Qi, realizing he had spoken out of turn, and then quieted down considerably.

Li Wen leaned back in the nanmu armchair, his posture not quite upright, exuding a rugged and unruly air. He stared blankly at a candle flame, lost in thought.

"Since you are afraid that others will be jealous, and you also want to find out the truth, why don't you go to Youzhou to visit him yourself? It is only natural for brothers to be friendly and respectful to each other, and then no one will be able to criticize you."

Another strategist spoke up.

Li Wen's expression hardened, and he looked over here.

After a while, the sternness on his face lessened considerably. He simply responded with a sound, which was considered as agreement.

"This trip should not be too high-profile. Does Master have any ideas on who should accompany him?"

Fang Qiao whispered a suggestion.

The man smiled and said, "Shubao, Yaojin, and about ten iron cavalrymen will suffice."

Although Du Keming felt it wasn't safe enough, he didn't say anything more.

......

Yesterday, when we were caught off guard, we told her to run away.

Today, Li Yin refused to go outside to admire the moon no matter what she said.

"My lord, it is late at night."

She lazily shooed him away while leisurely sitting down in front of the dressing table, with Wenxue helping her remove the hairpins and jade rings from her hair.

Li Yin coughed lightly, feeling uneasy.

He sounded a little weak, but pretended to be natural: "I will stay here tonight!"

Jin Huan looked at him through that yellowish bronze mirror.

She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked again, "Does my lord truly intend to stay here tonight?"

"really!"

Jin Huan chuckled softly, then instructed Wen Xue, "Go and get a few more mattresses so the Crown Prince can make a makeshift bed on the floor."
