Madam Xing looked at Jia Jue expectantly, waiting for his reply.

She knew very well that now Jia Jue was the most important figure in the Jia family, and if she wanted to live comfortably, it was best to have a relationship with him.

But she didn't have any ability to please Jia Jue at all, so she turned her attention to Xing Yanyan.

If Xing Yanyan can marry Jia Jue, even if she is just a concubine, it will be enough for her to live a good life.

You know, with Jia Jue's status today, even if it's just his concubine, it's a good position that countless people are staring at.

Ordinary people can't be his concubine, a lady as rich as the Xue family, as powerful as a lady of the Wang family, as honorable as a princess of the Fusang country, is just Jia Jue's concubine.

Marrying someone else as a concubine may be a disgrace, but marrying Jia Jue as a concubine is definitely an honor.

What's more, Jia Jue treated his concubines very well, no worse than ordinary wives, just look at the happy faces of his concubines to get a glimpse of it.

In her expectant eyes, Jia Jue smiled at her and said: "Madam, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me. If you are reasonable, you will not be wronged."

Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up when she heard the words. What Jia Jue said meant that she would be protected to a certain extent in the future. Although she could not be a tyrant, others would not be able to bully her.

But, after thinking about it, she suddenly recalled what Jia Jue said, but he didn't promise to marry Xing Yanyan.

"Brother Jue, what about Yanyan's marriage?" She asked tentatively.

Jia Jue smiled and replied: "Eldest Madam, Sister Xing is a good girl with her own opinions. Marriage is a lifelong event. Her marriage should be decided by herself."

Xing Yanyan, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Jia Jue in surprise.

When Mrs. Xing told her about it, she didn't have any resistance. After all, the elders were the ones to make the decisions about marriage, and she didn't dislike Jia Jue. If you marry him, you can marry him.

She even knew Mrs. Xing's intentions clearly.

But Jia Jue's words hit her heart directly.

Jia Jue could obviously agree, but he didn't.

And the reason was that she had to choose her own marriage, which gave her great respect.

When Jia Jue let Xue Baoqin choose freely, although she appreciated Jia Jue's approach, she didn't feel much.

But now, when Jia Jue treated her like this, she finally felt how shocking it was.

She was moved, for the first time a look of surprise and emotion appeared on her calm and beautiful face.

what?
Mrs. Xing was taken aback, looked at Xing Yanyan, then at Jia Jue, she was at a loss for a moment.

"Eldest lady, the night is getting dark and it's very cold outside, you go back and rest first." Jia Jue smiled at the two women.

Mrs. Xing nodded quickly, and left with Xing Yanyan.

After returning to her courtyard, Mrs. Xing said to Xing Yanyan: "How is your usual relationship with Brother Jue?"

Xing Yanyan thought for a while: "It's not bad, similar to other sisters."

Mrs. Xing quickly cast a reproachful look at her: "How can you be similar to other sisters? You will be a concubine for Brother Jue in the future, not a younger sister for him!"

Xing Yan was silent.

"Silly girl, you need to pay more attention. Brother Jue is now the Duke of the state, and a third-rank official. There are already many girls around him. Now he is praying for good luck and attracting auspiciousness. People are blessed with great luck. If you don't fight, there is no place for you around him." Mrs. Xing persuaded again.

Xing Yanyan remained silent, but her heart was still touched.

She has no feelings for Jia Jue's status and power, because she really doesn't care about these things. What she cares about is Jia Jue's conduct and his personality charm.

She had reverence, curiosity, and admiration for Jia Jue, which made her involuntarily want to get close to Jia Jue and get to know him.

Her original attitude in life was to let nature take its course, and to stand aloof from the world.

At this time, for the first time, she had the idea of ​​wanting to take the initiative to fight.

She looked in the direction of Linglong Xiaozhu, her eyes slightly swaying.

……

After sending off Mrs. Xing and Xing Yanyan, Jia Jue returned to Linglong Xiaozhu, but he didn't go back to his room immediately, but came to Zhen'er's room.

After a light knock on the door, the door opened quickly.

Zhen'er looked at him strangely: "It's so late, why are you here? Don't you want to accompany those beautiful wives and concubines of yours?"

Jia Jue chuckled: "The girl is a guest, so naturally I won't neglect the guest."

"I believe you are a ghost, why do you treat me as a guest, are you planning to interrogate me?" Zhen'er muttered and let him into the room.

Jia Jue said with a smile: "Where is Miss Zhen'er, if I don't treat you as a distinguished guest and a friend, how can I bring you to my courtyard?"

"Stop pouring the ecstasy soup, what do you want to ask?" Zhen'er gave him a blank look.

Jia Jue smiled faintly: "I see that the girl's eyebrows are slightly sad, but what happened? You went to the capital, maybe it has something to do with it?"

"Nonsense, I don't have any worries. I came to the capital just to see you, a little thief." Zhen Er lightly annoyed.

Jia Jue sighed softly: "It seems that Miss Zhen'er still doesn't regard me as a friend."

As he spoke, he turned around and made a gesture to leave.

"Don't go." Zhen'er quickly grabbed him.

Jia Jue looked at her questioningly.

Zhen'er thought for a while, then said: "Forget it, forget it. This is the big secret of our Red Lotus Saintess family, you can't tell others."

"Since it's your secret, it's inconvenient for me to ask." Jia Jue shook his head.

"No, I said I want to tell you, so I will tell you." Zhen'er pulled him, leaned in front of him, and whispered, "I came here this time to find a key."

"The key?" Jia Jue was taken aback. She, the saint of the Red Lotus Sect, came to the capital specifically to find the key?
Zhen'er nodded, and whispered:

"For hundreds of years, the Red Lotus Sect has hidden countless gold and silver treasures. The places where these gold and silver treasures are hidden are only passed on by word of mouth. However, although we know the hiding place, we don't have the key to open it. And this key, It is said that it is hidden somewhere in the palace."

Jia Jue suddenly said, "So that's how it is."

Zhen'er sighed: "It's just that I don't know where the key is hidden."

Jia Jue nodded: "That's right, in such a huge palace, if you want to find a small key, it's really like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Master is so capable, but he still hasn't found anything. It's impossible to rely on me to investigate." Zhen'er was a little frustrated.

"Oh? Your master? Is that the previous saint of the Red Lotus Sect?" Jia Jue asked.

Zhen'er nodded: "Yes, Master, she went to the palace, but in the end she disappeared."

"Oh? There are other things like this? What's your master's name? Let me look it up for you."

"Her name is Chu Hongyu."
