Ye Jinsu's face turned red once again.
She didn't even dare to look at Ning Yunxiao. She didn't even know where to put her hands and feet. It was as if her brain had been completely muddled, and she didn't have the slightest ability to think anymore.
Ning Yunyin held onto Ye Jinsu and sat her down on a stone stool. Ye Jinsu fell into his arms. The hands that fell on her face followed the line of her chin to her throat.
Ning Yun gently caressed its surface. There had once been a wound there, but now there were no longer any traces of it.
"Be good, and tell me who caused you to die. I'll help you deal with it." Ye Jinsu raised her head slightly. Ning Yunyin had already changed her expression. She slightly frowned and lowered her head to look at the gauze covering Ye Jinsu's face.
Ye Jinsu gave up on struggling and rolled her eyes at Ning Yun, "You don't know?"
Ning Yunyin, however, looked at Ye Jinsu and released her hand. She looked at her seriously and said, "I know."
"But I want you to tell me yourself."
"What's the difference?" Ye Jinxiu frowned as she looked at him. Wasn't he keeping people by his side to monitor him?
Ning Yunyin sighed. She looked at Ye Jinsu's wrinkled brow and said, "I wish you would personally tell me. There are some things I can help you with. You don't have to try to be brave."
As far as he was concerned, Ye Jinsu's stubborn and overly stubborn character caused him to love and hate her.
He hoped even more that Ye Jinsu would be like the other ordinary women and rely on him a little more.
"You know, the reason I left someone for you is to protect you." Ning Yunyin said.
However, Ye Jinsu directly told them to go back. Although it was already expected, Ning Yunyin still felt a bit unhappy. It was difficult for Ye Jinsu to even protect him. If he continued to be so stubborn, it would only hurt him.
Ye Jinsu looked at Ning Yunyin quietly and repeated, "Is there a difference?"
She didn't like being watched. Didn't he know that from the start?
"You're hurting yourself. I've only been gone for three months, and you almost lost your life!"
Ye Jinsu lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment before she suddenly raised her head and looked at Ning Yunyin, "You want to help me deal with this?"
Ning Yunxiao looked at her, not saying a word.
"The sword on my neck was slashed by my second mother's man. Now, in the east garden behind the Ye residence, send someone to kill her."
"The knife on my face is my father's. You slashed it towards a First Pin Great Master. You go and kill him too."
"As for the rumours outside, they are the work of my sister, Ye Jingru. You can go and kill her now."
Ye Jinxiu's voice was very calm. "Kill them. I won't be in any danger in the future."
"Are you going to make a move?" Ye Jinsu asked him.
Ning Yunxiao looked at her silently, not saying a word.
After a long while, Ye Jinsu finally spoke up, "Ning Yunlian, this is my family matter. You can't interfere with it, nor can you."
Ning Yunyin sighed again, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Ning Yunyin understood what he meant, and so did Ye Jinsu.
It was nothing more than Ning Yunxiao marrying her.
Ye Jinxiu rubbed her temples. She didn't understand why Ning Yunyin was so persistent with her.
"Why do you insist on me alone?" Ye Jinxiu frowned as she looked at Ning Yunyin. She considered her actions to be crude. Other than having a decent face, she didn't have any good manners nor was she kind. She simply couldn't be considered a good match.
What's more, her face was already on the verge of breaking down, so why was Ning Yunxiao still pestering her?
Thinking about it, Ye Jinsu suddenly raised her eyebrows, as if she had thought of something, "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to the Scholar Manor and want to marry into the Ye Residence?"
"Then you should go to Ye Jingru. She's more stupid and easy to control."
Ning Yunyin looked at Ye Jinxiu, who was lost in her own thoughts. Suddenly, she raised her hand and smacked her in the head, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm speaking the truth," Ye Jinsu looked at Ning Yunyun with a serious expression. She began to count the harm in marrying him with her fingers, "Look at my disrespectful behavior. I don't have the slightest dignity. I don't deserve your status as a prince at all."
Ning Yunyin smiled at her and said, "It's fine, I don't mind you."
Ye Jinsu supported her forehead and decided to work even harder. She spoke up once again, "My face is injured now. In terms of looks, I definitely can't match you. You're so good-looking, how can you marry an ugly woman?"
Ning Yunxiao smiled again. "It's just a small wound. I'll go to the palace and get some imperial medicine to treat it. There's no harm in it."
Ye Jinsu: …
Ning Yunliang raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Jinsu with interest. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Ye Jinsu let out a fake smile, "Look at me, I'm not a obedient woman. If you marry me, the backyard will definitely be on fire."
"You're a prince, and that's something important. You definitely don't want the affairs outside to end yet, and your family's on fire, right?"
Ning Yunke nodded and raised her head to look at Ye Jinsu. "That makes sense."
Ye Jinxiu was overjoyed and nodded. "That's right, you should marry a good and virtuous daughter!"
"I'm fine." Ning Yunshu swung her sleeves and pulled Ye Jinsu into her arms. She whispered into her ear, "I don't want a concubine."
Ye Jinsu raised her head and looked at him, her eyes were filled with shock.
Ning Yunyin looked at her and hugged Ye Jinsu tightly. She said in a low voice, "It's enough for me to have you."
Ye Jinsu lowered her eyes and suddenly said, "My father promised my second mother this when he helped her into the main chamber."
She was not a teenager. Her first love had just blossomed, and she was a hot-headed young lady. In her previous life, she had lived for more than twenty years and had seen many happy and sad times. It was best if she didn't believe such a hot topic.
"You don't believe me?" Ning Yunyin looked at Ye Jinsu.
Ye Jinsu looked at him calmly. "Mm, I don't believe you."
Ning Yunyin stared at Ye Jinsu with a profound look in her eyes. There was a long period of silence in the air. Ye Jinsu looked at the moon in the sky. It was already late. The sun would rise in four hours.
"It's getting late. It's better for Ning Wang to go back and rest early."
However, Ning Yunyin's long arms seized her and she reached out to grab Ye Jinsu's hand before pulling it back into her embrace. She held it tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Let me hug you again." Ning Yun said in a low voice.
Ye Jinsu frowned and struggled, but she didn't seem to want to let go of Ning Yun's hands at all. Ye Jinsu simply stretched out her hand, bent her elbow and smashed it against Ning Yunyin's chest.
"Hmm —" Ning Yunyin, who was hugging Ye Jinsu, suddenly groaned. Her lips turned a little pale for a moment, and the hand holding her started to tremble lightly.
A faint smell of blood floated in the air. Ning Yunyin's complexion looked slightly sinister, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Ye Jinshu raised his hand and looked at Ning Yunyin in a daze.
That strike just now, it shouldn't have been that heavy, right?
