Chapter 481

“Is it possible you set a trap for me to provoke that Crown Princess Hua?”

Throwing him a suspicious eye, Ling Jingxuan wondered. Maybe the shops in the capital were hard to come by, there shouldn’t be only one left! He could that Crown Princess Hua was like a bada*s. Offending him was like inviting trouble in. If possible, he’d rather go find a place at the suburb of the capital and build a hospital he had long dreamt of. But running it would be a trouble.

“Ahem…How is that even possible? Crown Princess Hua has the whole West Kingdom as his back. Why would I set you up to offend him? Business is business. See how close their mansions it from here. And none of his shops is open. And if you really can buy them, it’s convenient to manage them, isn’t it? Where could you find better ones than those?”

With his little trick being exposed before everyone, Zeng Shaoqing tried to cover up unnaturalness by clearing the throat. He dare say that section was really good. And he also really thought that if he could ally with that arrogant Crown Princess Hua, they’d definitely overturn the whole capital! Anyway, he was only thinking about it. What’s wrong with that? Maybe they’d really make friends after they met!

“Really? Why do I feel you should have some other little thoughts? Maybe this Crown Princess Hua really has the balls. Only by that he even made His Majesty avoid him, I’m quite interested in knowing him.”

Zeng Shaoqing’s explanation not only did not resolve his doubts, but deepened his doubts instead. But thinking about his personality, Ling Jingxuan just didn’t take it to heart. Anyway, he wouldn’t harm him, right?

“That’s simple. Three days later, His Highness Hua will take him to attend the palace banquet. And then you can pick up a talk with him.”

Forgetting to hide his expectations, Zeng Shaoqing nearly suggesting with an urging tone. Ling Jingxuan threw a glance at him grumpily, “Save your little thoughts. Whether I’ll go talk to him, I will decide after I check those shops. If like you said, he is only an arrogant young man who is easy getting infatuated in relationships, it’d be not a problem if he is a smart one. But if he is a stupid one, heaven knows what kind of big troubles he’d make in the future. I’m not interested in clearing up the mess for others.”

As long as it was a friend he approved, even if the other side made sky-big trouble, he’d stand out. Whether that Crown Princess Hua was worth it or not, he didn’t want to find trouble for himself.

But our Jingxuan seemed to have forgotten a proverb. Man proposes, heaven disposes. Something destined, he could never avoid from it. This Crown Princess Hua was bonded to be related with him.

“In the future, you’d live in the capital. So it’s not bad to make some more friends. Yeah, he is hot-tempered, but he has solid background. You won’t suffer any loss. Besides, a lot of big families are afraid of him. If you have him to cover, who still dare say you are a stupid farmer?”

Since getting exposed, Zeng Shaoqing also no longer tried to hide it. He swore that he really thought Jingxuan and Crown Princess Hua would be a perfect duo!

“No need!”

Rejecting his proposal, Ling Jingxuan then ignored him and turned to Ling Jinghan, “Tomorrow you move into the house in the rear of the east street. Brother Zhao and others will also live with you temporarily. We are all in the capital now, so it’d be easy for us to meet. But I think we’d better not expose our relations for now, in case some people would try to kill you or what. And you still have to prepare for the examinations next spring. If others know you are my younger brother, those who have a problem with me may do something fishy in the dark.”

In the early stage, he planned to get familiar with the environment first and develop his own career and train his own talents. He did not plan to touch any family now. As long as they did not come provoke him, he would stay put temporarily.

“Hmm, I know. That thing about the Imperial Academy…”

Ling Jinghan nodded and then turned to look at Yan Shengrui. Only after one short day, he had seen a lot of things clearly. And Yuan shaoqi also told him a lot of things here. He wanted to enrich himself as soon as possible. Next spring, he’d definitely have to pass it!

“I will arrange it tomorrow, and you will go in the day after the latest. Someone will inform you. You and Ling Chenggui only need to get ready to register there.”

The more active they were, the more satisfied Yan Shengrui was. Of course he’d take care of everything at the fastest speed.

“Sorry to trouble you then, Brother Rui.”

Ling Jinghan also didn’t stand on ceremony. Now they were still too weak, they had to reply on his strength if they wanted to grow in the shortest time.

“I’m moving there, too.”

Looking back and forth at them, Yuan Shaoqi suddenly requested. In a mansion without Jinghan, why should he stay?

“You are my bookkeeper, not Jinghan’s.”

Throwing him an eye, Ling Jingxuan nearly laughed out. Who had ever seen such a guy who only had one thought in his head—pursuing his wife! Jinghan even allowed him to stay with him, couldn’t he still feel at ease?

“Someone else will take care of the accounts inside the mansion. I will only need to be responsible for the accounts outside. Besides, aren’t you worried that what if they meet some danger? With me there, I will make sure of their safety.”

Yuan Shaoqi patted his chest and promised. Whatsoever, he had to stay with his future wife. Otherwise, maybe some day his wife would be someone else’s.

“Well, what do you say, Jinghan?”

About their relationship, Ling Jingxuan had no intention to step in. As long as his younger brother agreed, he’d raise both hands and both feet to agree.

Ling Jinghan did not reply immediately, but took his teacup leisurely and carefully enjoyed the tea. Yuan Shaoqi was so anxious that directly pulled him pitifully, ignoring so many pairs of eyes around, “Jinghan, will you abandon me?”

“Pff~”

“Haha…”
