In his previous life, not to mention the Eighth Prince, even Yao Mountain people looked down on him. In this life, how could his peach blossoms flourish like this?

Lin Shu said softly, "Yes, Eighth Prince, I am unwilling. It doesn't matter if you want to help me, or if you really want to marry me, I … I don't want to. "

Although her words did not sound good, they were the truth. She knew that it was better to speak frankly.

Eighth Prince was used to being surrounded by people from a young age, but his personality was still humble and polite. He said with a bitter smile, "You're not willing … Are you really willing to marry Cousin Jing? "Have you asked about Cousin Jing's reputation …"

He did not dislike Lu Jingran at all. On the other hand, he was extremely envious of his cousin and could do whatever he wanted with him.

Lin Shu said: "I already know the reputation of Uncle Jingtang!"

This silkpants was just Lu Jingran's disguise, but in reality, Lu Jingran had a lot of faces that they did not know about.

The Eighth Prince's gaze seemed deep and meaningful, "Since it's like this, then I have nothing to say … As for the Queen Mother, you don't need to worry about it, I will explain everything to her clearly. "

A man needed to be able to bear the consequences. Now that he could finally let it go, was it possible for him to do so later?

Lin Shu did not dare to look at Eighth Prince. After living a new life, she understood that she would have to repay this kindness and enmity back multiple times. But how was she supposed to repay the kindness Eighth Prince had given her!

If not for Eighth Prince, he would have already become a ghost under the blade.

It's just that gratitude and love are different.

After thinking about it, she still said, "Eighth Prince, I'm sorry …" She didn't seem to know what to say or what to say, except that she was sorry.

Eighth Prince stood up and waved at her, "Don't apologize to me, there is nothing wrong with you. I originally thought that you were unwilling to marry Cousin Jing, but now that you are willing, I am relieved …"

After saying a few more words, he left. His expression was even more unsightly than before.

The table was full of dishes, but Eighth Prince didn't even touch a single mouthful. He hadn't even tasted any …

Lin Shu stared at the spot where Eighth Prince was sitting just now, and stood up after a while, and said to Actinin Qin: "Let's go!"

Little did they know that they were being watched from outside.

Ban Xia watched as he got on the carriage and gradually left. Only then did he instruct the other two guards to continue watching, to see if there was anything wrong.

He then went to the National Duke Ning Palace.

Inside the Banyan Garden, Lu Jingran was sitting at his desk, thinking about something. Hearing footsteps coming from outside, he raised his head and asked, "How is it?"

After Ban Xia closed the door, he said in a low voice: "Elder, the Lin Family's Fourth Miss is indeed meeting the Eighth Prince in Celestial Fragrance Pavilion!"

He was busy everyday, if it were not for the fact that his master had assigned him to watch over the Lin Family's Fourth Miss, why would he put all this into consideration?

Lu Jingran's face did not look good.

Ban Xia paused, "Regarding this matter, do you want to reconsider?"

Lu Jingran still did not speak.

He had already received the news yesterday that Lin Shu had delivered a letter to the palace. Back then, he had felt uncomfortable and thought that Lin Shu was willing to marry him.

But everything was fine, why did Lin Shu write to the Eighth Prince?

How many years of painstaking work did he have to place people in the palace? However, it was not that simple to reach Eighth Prince's side … So he had no idea what the contents of this letter were!

He wanted to hear what Lin Shu and Eighth Prince had to say, but he didn't expect that Lin Shu was also cautious. He patted Actinin Qin and Yun Dou who were guarding the door, and even more so, was wandering around the place. Therefore, the few secret guards he sent out did not hear what Lin Shu and Eighth Prince were saying at all.

Lu Jingran, who had always been calm and at ease, held onto the tea Gu with his hand. His palm felt slightly cold, and his hand that was holding the tea Gu let out creaking sounds because he had too much strength.

Ban Xia's face did not look good. He had followed beside Lu Jingran for so many years, but he had never seen Lu Jingran act like this before.

After a long while, Lu Jingran finally asked: "Then how did Fourth Miss look when she left?"

Ban Xia shook his head, "Because Fourth Miss has seen the little ones before, we don't dare to get too close, we are afraid that Fourth Miss will see through us."

After all, Lin Shu was used to being cautious.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "However, it seems that Eighth Prince's expression wasn't too good when he left. Do you want to ask him what exactly is going on?"

Normally, he would go down after hearing the report clearly, but today, he was somewhat hesitant.

Yesterday, the National Duke Ning was still looking for him to talk. He said that if Lu Jingran was willing to annul the engagement, and if the Emperor was not willing to marry Lin Shu, the Empress Zhang would arrange a very good marriage for him.

There was also National Duke Ning who had always hoped for their master to become the leader of the Imperial Guards, but now that their master was still young, it was not possible for him to ascend to the position of the Imperial Guard Commander in one step. However, if he could do this for Empress Zhang, then the position of the Imperial Guard's Deputy would belong to their master.

But at that time, Lu Jingran had only agreed and coldly laughed: "What do you take me to be? Do you think that I would obediently be at your mercy just because you gave me some benefits? Then you really misjudged me! "

His relationship with National Duke Ning's wife had already reached the point where it was like fire and water. Only when they arrived in front of the Old Ancestor of National Duke Ning's Palace did the two restrain themselves.

At that time, he had already left without even looking back, but Ban Xia felt that it was a pity. A young master who was born into a martial general always relied on his own pair of feet, even if there was a heaven overflowing power in his ancestors, he could not perform meritorious deeds.

But with Lu Jingran's current identity, no matter if he was going to Fujian or the northwest region, it would be easy for Madam National Duke Ning to take his secret from him. Therefore, the best way would be to place Lu Jingran in the capital, under the constant care of the patriarch and the National Duke Ning, so that even if Madam National Duke Ning herself wanted to take action, he would have to see if he had the guts to do so.

But Lu Jingran did not care about this matter at all. As a man, as long as he had the ability, how could he not be afraid? If he really obtained his position in such a manner, he would be disgraced.

Thinking about what happened yesterday, Ban Xia felt even more uncomfortable, "Master, I have followed you for so many years, some things should not be said, but after thinking about it, if I do not say these things, I think no one will say it in the future."

"Although women are good, they are not as important as your future prospects. They are waiting for you to become an official and make a fortune. What kind of woman isn't there? Furthermore, Miss Lin Jia's name is indeed not very pleasant in the outside world. How can she support the sect in the future … "

"Shut up!" Lu Jingran shot a glance at him, his eyes filled with unspeakable sharpness, "Get out!"

Ban Xia had been by his side for many years, and had always been treated like his own little brother. Now that he spoke with such a cold tone, it could be seen that he was truly angered.

Ban Xia was a little hesitant, and said in a low voice, "Elder, please think twice …"

Lu Jingran took a deep breath, and said indifferently: "Ban Xia, don't make me repeat myself again!"

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "I know you're doing this for my own good, but I know what I'm doing. Get down!" His heart was in chaos.

Ban Xia shook his head, he did not know when he could change his temper.

But after Ban Xia left, Lu Jingran's expression became more and more unsightly. What exactly was there between Eighth Prince and Lin Shu?

Although he was kind, he was not the kind one who had no bottom line when it came to treating others. The other side did not need to talk about, just talk about the Chen Family Second Miss, Eighth Prince clearly knew that if he were to speak of the truth to Empress Zhang, Empress Zhang would definitely not give the Chen Family Second Miss any face, but Eighth Prince still spoke the truth. It could be seen that the Eighth Prince would not lose control of this matter.

Lu Jingran really wanted to ask Lin Shu what was going on, but he was afraid of hearing the answer that he did not dare to hear. If Lin Shu said that she was willing to marry Eighth Prince, whether it was Chief Consort or Lateral Consort, she would be willing.

Didn't she become a laughingstock after what she said to National Duke Ning's wife yesterday? He was not afraid of becoming a laughing stock, he was only afraid of not getting Lin Shu!

After some thought, he suddenly stood up.

If he did not clarify some things, he would not be able to eat or sleep well.

Waiting for night to fall, he immediately went to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.

Not long after Lin Qian's marriage, the entire mansion seemed to be filled with the smell of fireworks, and Lu Jingran felt his mind was in a mess as he pushed open the door to Lin Shu's room.

In this room, Lin Shu and Yun Dou was helping Actinin Qin choose a husband, and would ask for Actinin Qin's opinion from time to time. Actinin Qin's face would turn red, but Yun Dou was still unable to stop himself from teasing, "… Oh, Sister Actinin Qin is too embarrassed, haha … "

Just that before she could finish speaking, the door opened, and Lu Jingran's handsome and somewhat gloomy face entered her sight.

Lin Shu was immediately shocked, "You, why are you here?"

According to the rules, the two of them were not allowed to meet before they got married. Normally, it would be fine if they accidentally bumped into each other, but Lu Jingran had specially come to them, there really wasn't anyone here.

Lu Jingran raised his voice and said, "All of you, get out!"

Yun Dou was stupefied. She looked at Actinin Qin and saw that she had gone out, so she followed him eagerly. Before she went out, she even looked inside unwillingly.

After the door was closed, Lin Shu then said: "You, you … "Why are you here?"
