Ye Ningyu said something that made Ye Linger feel even worse. "Princess Changge and Lin Mu have an engagement since young, waiting for Princess Changge to become an adult before holding the wedding."
Ye Linger buried her head into her arms dejectedly and escaped everything like an ostrich.
Xuanyuan Jing hadn't said a single word since the start of the conversation. Upon receiving Ye Ningyu's gaze, he helplessly smirked and said, "Little Sister Ling'er, why do you need to hang yourself on a tree? If you fall in love with any good family, you can speak to this king and this king can help you."
Ye Linger was shocked, and immediately raised her head. She knew that the man by Sister Ye's side was definitely not an ordinary person, but she never thought that he would actually be a Marquis.
Upon closer inspection, Xuanyuan Jing looked very familiar, but could not remember where he had seen him before.
Xuanyuan Jing magnanimously allowed Ye Linger to size him up. After Ye Linger finished sizing him up, she said, "Little Sister Ling'er, now that I think about it, this duke and you can also be considered cousins."
Ye Linger looked at Xuanyuan Jing in a daze.
Ye Ningyu glared at Ye Linger in disappointment and ridiculed: "Are you too sad that you can't even recognize the Second Prince?"
Although Ye Ningyu had always mocked and ridiculed Ye Linger, she still felt that it was unfair for him. Furthermore, she had doubts about what was going on with that hero saving the beauty.
After meeting eyes with Xuanyuan Jing, the two of them instantly thought of the same thing, and wanted to find out everything from Ye Linger.
The atmosphere in the other room was not as harmonious.
A cold smile hung on Xie Qingrong's face as the corner of her mouth curved in a mocking manner. The coldness in her eyes seemed to be able to freeze everything. "Not really."
Xuanyuan Chen had thought of all sorts of things, but he had only missed out on Xuanyuan Changge, because Lin Mu's plan to use Ye Linger's hand to scout for information had failed, and Xuanyuan Jing was afraid that he would be even more cautious.
Xie Qingrong looked at Xuanyuan Chen's silent appearance and sneered, "What, you have nothing to say? If Lin Mu had chosen to marry him today, Xuanyuan Changge might not be able to forgive Lin Mu for the rest of his life, and furthermore, the marriage engagement between Lin Mu and Xuanyuan Changge would become invalid as well. "
Although Xie Qingrong didn't have many opportunities to meet with her, she knew that Xuanyuan Changge was a very stubborn little girl. She had a noble identity like a princess in the first place, and being spoiled from a young age to a young age, it was absolutely impossible for him to willingly accept this grievance. Even if Lin Mu clearly explained it to Xuanyuan Changge in the end, Xuanyuan Changge might not even give him a chance.
Xuanyuan Chen was clearly aware of this point, which was why he broke the connection between Lin Mu and himself, just for this show, he never thought that Xuanyuan Changge would still be able to sneakily come here.
Then, how did Xuanyuan Changge know?
"A Rong, do you think that anyone would tell Chang Ge this? Since Zhang Ge was teasing Ye Ningyu like this yesterday, it means that Zhang Ge already knew about this. But my people have never revealed it to Chang Ge, so how did Chang Ge know about it? " Xuanyuan Chen frowned, and asked suspiciously.
Xie Qingrong raised her eyebrows, "You are really smart. Not many people know about this, and it's extremely possible that Lin Mu accidentally leaked it to others, but with Lin Mu's personality, it's impossible for him to tell Xuanyuan Changge himself."
Although she was very naive, it did not mean that she was stupid. As long as she thought about it a little, she would be able to figure out the crux of it, and would have to start from Lin Mu.
As expected, the results of the investigation made her very unhappy.
Xuanyuan Changge fiercely grabbed Lin Mu's arm. Lin Mu silently endured it and did not make a sound.
This matter was his fault in the first place, he should have endured the consequences of Xuanyuan Changge's anger.
If Xuanyuan Changge did not care about him, how could she have been so hurt?
When he thought about how Xuanyuan Changge was about to cry, he suddenly felt her heart ache. He knew that since he had agreed to the Duke's idea, he had to hide it from Xuanyuan Changge, but he couldn't bear not to tell her the truth. He could only listen to the Duke and try his best to avoid contacting Xuanyuan Changge.
Seeing that Lin Mu did not scream for pain, Xuanyuan Changge's mind kept wandering. She became flustered and exasperated, using her embroidered shoes to firmly step on Lin Mu's foot.
Lin Mu regained his senses and hurriedly asked: "Princess, what's wrong?"
"Hmph." Xuanyuan Changge snorted, she turned around awkwardly, and said angrily: "Who is that woman?"
Hearing this question, Lin Mu paused, and replied: "The young miss of the branch family of Prime Minister Ye, Ye Linger."
After Lin Mu finished answering, he remained silent. He waited for a long time, but did not hear what Lin Mu had to say. Finally, he angrily turned around and glared at Lin Mu with his big round eyes, "And then? What are you doing with that woman? "
Lin Mu rubbed Xuanyuan Changge's head. Her eyes, which were originally as cold as ice, were now filled with affection. Even though her tone was calm, she said, "Princess, the relationship between Lin Mu and Miss Ye is completely innocent.
Xuanyuan Changge was still a little angry, but thinking that Lin Mu had something to hide from her, that she couldn't tell him, her pretty face immediately fell apart. She pursed her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing Lin Mu was a little worried, he hurriedly tried to coax him, "Princess, if you really need to know, you might as well ask the Duke." Lin Mu was helpless, and could not resist Xuanyuan Changge's Tears Wave. Every time Xuanyuan Changge revealed this expression, he could not do anything to her, and could only hand this matter over to Xuanyuan Chen to deal with.
Seeing that, Xuanyuan Changge could only give up, and muttered: "How can royal brother tell me? "Hrmph."
Lin Mu could not really hear what Xuanyuan Changge had said, and asked: "Princess, what did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing." After that, he pulled Lin Mu's sleeve, and the tears in his eyes had already been withdrawn. A pair of large eyes stared at Lin Mu seriously and stubbornly, as he spoke each word clearly, as if he had made some sort of important promise.
"Lin Mu, just now, if you had chosen that woman, do you know what the consequences would have been?"
Seeing Lin Mu shake his head, the corner of Xuanyuan Changge's mouth hooked into an extremely shallow smile, carrying the determination to gamble everything on one throw.
"I will give up on you, and I will request royal father to cancel the marriage between us. Fortunately, you chose me. "
Hearing this, Lin Mu's heart fiercely trembled. When he had previously promised His Highness, he already knew that his relationship with the princess would be in danger. However, he never knew that he almost lost the princess.
Fortunately, he had chosen the princess.
Fortunately, he had made the right choice.
