She took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, wasn't it forced by the situation just now? Besides, you were the one who started to bully me first? Why did you just leave after I finished eating?"

Xiao Sheng pondered for a moment before slowly nodding: "Well, it turns out I bullied you. In that case, I'll be responsible for you. Go back and prepare your birthday and get engaged!"

Lin Ruoyou was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground. Why did she suddenly get involved in the engagement?

She has made up her mind that she will never involve him again in this life. She had no choice but to make the same mistake at the concubine selection banquet before, and now she cannot make the same mistake again.

She forced herself to persuade her: "Your Majesty, I don't want you to be responsible. We just bumped into each other by chance, so we won't get engaged!"

Xiao Sheng stood up suddenly and approached her dangerously: "What? Do you dislike me?"

Lin Ruoyou subconsciously dodged back, and she replied with a stiff face: "My maid, I don't dare!"

He mocked coldly: "I think you are very brave, how dare you refuse my engagement, Lin Ruoyou, you are the No. 1 in the court!"

She wanted to say something, but tears suddenly burst out like a bursting dam.

He was immediately stunned: "Why are you crying? I didn't do anything to you!"

She sobbed and complained: "Your Majesty, can you get out of the way first? My lower back is so painful from the table!"

Only then did he realize that the two of them were leaning against each other in an extremely strange posture. After being reminded by her, he subconsciously reached out to help her up.

While gently rubbing her lower back, she whispered: "I am still young, why does the prince force me like this? Just because you are older and have higher seniority?"

Xiao Sheng was almost furious. He was at most four or five years older than her, okay?

As for seniority, there is nothing we can do about it. Who made his mother late to conceive him?

But, these are not reasons, right?

He scolded with a sullen face: "Let's put aside these things for now, you are a daughter of a boudoir, why do you want to come to a place like this?"

Lin Ruoyou suddenly remembered that she was following Xiang Lin!

When he entered the top room, he didn't know what was going on now, so he had to go check it out quickly.

She said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I will explain this matter to you later. I have to leave. I have to leave!" After saying that, she turned around and left quickly.

This time Xiao Sheng did not stop him because he could quickly find out the reason.

Sure enough, after she left for a moment, a voluptuous woman walked in quickly. She said uneasily: "Your Majesty, my subordinate came late to rescue you, please punish me!"

Xiao Sheng's cold eyes fell on her, and he asked in a deep voice: "Have you ever found out who the spy is talking to?"

She shook her head in frustration: "My subordinate was entangled and was unable to inquire about the situation in person, but he already had the list of guests she had contacted in his hands!"

Xiao Sheng reached out to take it and saw Lin Xiang's name written clearly on it.

Lin Ruoyou's figure appeared in his mind, and it turned out that this was the reason why she followed him.

He said no more, tapping his fingers lightly on the table with a gloomy look on his face.

The woman's pink skin was covered with sweat, and even if it dripped, she didn't dare to raise her hand to wipe it away.

Until he slowly said: "Keep watching, don't alert the snake, wait until she delivers the news to the outside world, and then report it to me!"

"I obey my orders!" The woman said as if she had been granted amnesty.

When Lin Ruoyou hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she saw Zi'er waiting outside the door with an anxious look on her face.

She hurried forward and said, "Miss, the prime minister asked you to go to the study. He said he has something big to announce!"

Lin Ruoyou curled her lips sarcastically. It seemed that he was going to officially give Nan Ling and Lin Ruoxi their identities. After all, his mother had left the house and there was no one to check and balance him anymore.

After changing her clothes again, she slowly brought Zi'er to the study.

Nan Ling was wearing a bright red brocade dress and her hair was styled in an exquisite womanly bun. She looked very charming.

Lin Ruoxi's face looked a little pale because of her injury, but it only made me feel pity for her, so charming.

The two of them stood beside Lin Xiang, one on the left and the other on the right, obviously excluding Lin Ruoyou.

She didn't even salute when she entered the room, she just sat on the chair carelessly: "What do you want from me?"

If Lin Xiang hadn't been unable to move with his hands, he would have hit her on the head with an inkstone. He was so rude and deserved a beating.

He subconsciously put on the majesty of being a father: "Lin Ruoyou, you are also the prime minister's daughter after all. Can you know some etiquette and not be so uneducated?"

Lin Ruoxi also joined in: "Yes, sister, don't bring the vulgarity of the general back home, lest outsiders laugh at it!"

Lin Ruoyou frowned, slapped the table angrily and asked, "What's wrong with the general? Even the pilgrims treat the general with great courtesy, why do you look down on him? Are you more majestic than the emperor?"

Lin Xiang had just been punished by the emperor, and he was feeling terrified.

Hearing her angry rebuke at this moment, I couldn't help but tremble all over.

He ordered sternly: "Xi'er, please apologize quickly. Don't say such words again in the future. If word spreads, it will definitely bring trouble to the prime minister's house!"

Lin Ruoxi bit her lip in grievance, and she could only apologize perfunctorily: "I said the wrong thing unintentionally, please sister, please don't be the same as me!"

Nan Ling smoothed things over with a smile: "We are all a family. When Xi'er first arrives in the capital, she must get along well with her sister. Hurry up and offer her a cup of tea!"

After saying that, he handed the tea into Lin Ruoxi's hand and winked at her.

She reluctantly took it, walked quickly to Lin Ruoyou and said, "Sister, please have tea!"

Lin Ruoyou raised her eyebrows sarcastically: "You have to have a regular attitude when serving tea. How can I get it from you being so condescending?"

Lin Ruoxi was almost out of breath, was she forced to kneel down?

Why?

Now she is also the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's house, and she will never stay low and be a child.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Sister, can't you just stretch out your hand and reach it? Can you hurry up? My hand is almost sore!"

Lin Ruoyou pretended to reach out to take it, but the moment she let go impatiently, the tea bowl suddenly fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

She said calmly: "Look, she didn't offer tea sincerely at all. Forget it, I still don't recognize this sister. You just decide!"

Nan Ling's face turned blue with anger. Why couldn't Lin Ruoxi be sensible?

She didn't listen at all to her earnest instructions in the morning. She was obviously asked to make friends with Lin Ruoyou. Only in this way could she have a chance to enter the general's mansion.

As long as she can please the old general and she is protected, isn't it just around the corner?

She shouted anxiously: "Xi'er, serve tea again!"

Lin Ruoxi was shocked, her aunt was obviously leaning towards her, right?Why should she be wronged?

She interrupted angrily: "I offered tea to her but she didn't drink it. She didn't take me seriously at all. Can you stop forcing me?"

Lin Xiang's expression suddenly changed. Is this still his considerate and lovely Xi'er?
