Wishful Things

"As I said just now, Ms. Cai must have seen it too. If Ms. Cai is alone, she will definitely not be able to complete the confession in the palace."

Xu Mingyi said bluntly: "If you are useless to the palace, but you know secrets that you shouldn't know - what will happen to you, Miss Cai should be able to guess, right?"

She is a threat, but she is not a threat.

Because that's exactly what's going to happen.

Cai Jin gently sucked his red nose.

"Yes, I can guess."

But--

Can the girl in front of her really be able to help her?

"I don't dare to say that I will be able to keep Miss Cai—" Xu Mingyi guessed what she was thinking, but he didn't make any wild promises. He just said, "But at least for now, I can make Miss Cai look good in the eyes of the people in the palace." There's enough value there."

Cai Jin clenched his fingers slightly.

Only by being valuable can you save your life, and she knows this very well.

She raised her eyes subconsciously and looked at Xu Mingyi who was sitting there.

Seeing her looking over, the girl looked at her seriously and determinedly, and said: "But as long as Miss Cai is still in my Xu family for a day, I can guarantee that Miss Cai will be safe for a day—— It's not good for Miss Cai to be able to get past the Zhen Guogong's mansion."

As for the future——

No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but if her ability allows, she will try her best to help.

She has no hostility towards this Miss Cai.

People in different situations have different means of survival, especially the other party has not really done anything that is not good for their Xu family - even if it is just because the other party does not have this ability, but if they do not do it, they will not do it. Seen by her as a true enemy.

But there is no need to say these words, just go and see, after all, she is a person who thinks out what she thinks, if she changes her mind later, it is not good to keep her word.

"Thank you Miss Xu."

Cai Jin thanked him earnestly.

She sees the current situation very clearly, and even knows how to choose a way to survive in order to be bigger.

"Just one thing, I don't want to and I can't lie to Ms. Xu. After Ms. Xu listens to it, it's not too late to decide whether to cooperate with me."

"Miss Cai, please tell—"

"Actually, I don't know the purpose and plan of that person in the palace." Cai Jin said in a low voice, "From the very beginning, he only wanted me to win Mr. Xu's trust, and nothing else was mentioned."

Xu Mingyi smiled.

"It doesn't matter."

This is normal.

To put it bluntly, when the emperor sent Cai Jin, the first step was just a trial and test.

Test the attitude of their Xu family and test whether Cai Jin has the ability to work for the palace.

"You haven't been able to win my second uncle's trust yet, so they naturally won't make any further explanations. What Miss Cai has to do now is to gain my second uncle's trust."

Gain the trust of Mr. Xu?

Upon hearing this, Cai Jin subconsciously showed a difficult expression.

"I will arrange this matter myself, but maybe Miss Cai needs to suffer some flesh and blood."

Cai Jin responded immediately: "It's okay."

Ever since she came to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, she only felt that the difficulties that could be solved with flesh and blood were nothing at all.

After the two discussed everything that should be discussed, Cai Jin stood up and opened the door.

Seeing that the two came out together, and that Miss Cai's arms and legs were intact, Ah Li was a little surprised—is she so kind?

Cai Jin followed Xu Mingyi and left the courtyard.

"I still want to ask Ms. Xu—is that how Ms. Xu trusts me? Aren't you afraid that I will turn against you again afterwards?" Cai Jin asked in a low voice after leaving the courtyard.

"Miss Cai is a smart person, she should know that there is no turning back after leaving this door with me." Xu Mingyi said in a very light tone, "Or, Miss Cai thinks that the one in the palace is a kind-hearted person who is soft-hearted and easy to deceive?"

Cai Jin shook his head upon hearing this.

Not only is he not a kind person, but he is hypocritical and disgusting.

Suspecting the general, he used her to set up a trap again, and used her late grandfather's name again.

However, she who failed to keep her principles in the so-called predicament and was used by the other party is not a good thing with high morals.

Miss Cai, who even scolded herself when she was serious, said sincerely at this time: "I am ashamed of your family this time. If I have a chance in the future, I will try my best to make up for this mistake."

However, no matter what, at this moment, she felt that her back was straightened again.

Even though the road ahead is still difficult and unpredictable, she is refreshed from head to toe for a long time.

Therefore, to be a human being, you have to be the original self to be happy. If it is a dead end anyway, there is no reason not to let yourself die more happily.

The two of them parted ways before going far.

Xu Mingyi took Ah Kui to look for Xu Mingshi.

In the front yard, the eunuchs who had been ordered to deliver New Year's food to the various prefectures had not yet left, and were being accompanied by Zhen Guogong and Brother Xu Jin to talk.

Xu Yun didn't sit for a long time, so he found an excuse and left.

These people, in the middle of the night, what are you talking about here? Could it be that the bed is not warm enough?

If it weren't for worrying about being scolded by his father for not getting up to eat glutinous rice balls, he wouldn't be here at all.

Sure enough, no matter how old a person is, in front of his parents, he is still the child who will be scolded if he doesn't get up on time to eat glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve.

So, not everything will change.

Xu Yun folded his hands in his sleeves and sighed in his heart as he walked.

When passing through the garden in the front yard, I heard the voices of my nephew and niece from a distance.

The stone lanterns in the garden are always on, and there are red lanterns hanging from the corners of the pavilion and under the flower trees, which looks very festive.

Xu Yun approached with a servant, and saw Xu Mingyi's siblings and their servants preparing to light the lantern.

"I'm setting off a sky lantern." Xu Yun nodded with a smile and praised, "This year's lantern is well drawn, does it look like it was painted in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes." Xu Mingshi replied, glanced at Xu Mingyi, and did not forget to explain: "I was painting for fun, and didn't intend to take it out. She was the one who dragged me out."

He didn't want people to think that because Xu Mingyi had the habit of setting off sky lanterns every New Year's Eve, he specially drew it for her.

After all, in this family, there are already enough people who are spoiled by Xu Mingyi, if he continues to pamper her, then no one will be able to control her.

Sensing his younger brother's thoughtfulness, Xu Mingyi sighed inwardly.

Mingshi's mouth is even better than her in the previous life.

The existence of this kind of mouth usually makes the onlookers can't help but want to say with emotion - such a good person, but how can he not be dumb? As long as this mouth speaks less, it will have everything.

Xu Yun stood there, smiling and said: "It's a good painting, wouldn't it be a waste to hide it? Let it go, Second Uncle wants to see it too."

He hadn't seen anyone put up a sky lantern for more than ten years.

To be precise, there are too many things he has never seen or done in the past ten years or so.

What can you see when you stay at home all day long?

Xu Mingshi led the servant to light the lamp, the Celestial Eye on the side stared in fright, jumped back and hid behind Xu Mingyi.

Xu Mingyi bent down and hugged the big bird in his arms, smiled and said to it: "It's just a lantern, it's for blessing, don't be afraid—look, it's flying up."

Big Bird didn't know if he understood her words, but he also tried to stretch his neck to look at the slowly rising sky lantern.

Xu Mingshi glanced at the girl holding the big bird, and complained, "I said I like to put up lights, but I didn't see you helping me."

"I like to watch other people let it go." Xu Mingyi was not angry, and said with a smile: "I just like to watch this sky lantern fly higher and higher—who told me to have a hardworking and bright time? Lazy people have lazy blessings."

Xu Mingshi gave a slight "tss" when he heard the words, but he was in a good mood.

Xu Yun was too lazy to listen to his niece coaxing the children to work, so he looked away from the sky lantern that was getting farther and farther away, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's play, second uncle is going back to sleep."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a slightly hurried footstep behind him.

Xu Yun looked back subconsciously.

In sight, a young woman in a light green trousers walked quickly towards him.

As soon as Xu Yun's eyes changed, he subconsciously took two steps back.

Xu Mingyi looked down at the big bird in his arms.

It has to be said that the second uncle's action was exactly the same as Cai Cai's Tianmu's reaction when he saw the fire.

"Mr. Xu—"

Cai Jin stopped five or six steps away from Xu Yun, and his panting appearance showed that he had been chasing him all the way.

"Why is Miss Cai here?" Xu Yun frowned slightly, not hiding the indifference in his tone.

"I'm here to look for Mr. Xu..." Cai Jin's tone was choked with restraint, as if he was trying to restrain his emotions, but his eyes, which were obviously red and swollen for a long time, could not deceive anyone.

Seeing this, Xu Mingshi frowned and pulled Xu Mingyi's sleeves to leave—this Miss Cai is really difficult, and those who don't know how infatuated she really is.

But this kind of matter, let the second uncle solve it by himself.

Xu Mingyi pulled his sleeve back from his younger brother's hand.

Xu Mingshi looked at her, only to see that she blinked and said in a low voice, "Look at the excitement."

...Why does she want to watch all the fun?

Xu Mingshi gave her a disgusted look, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

After all, he has to look at this careless sister - who knows if she will get involved and cause some trouble if she is watching so lively?

Over there, Cai Jin continued to choke and said: "...I came to your mansion with Mr. Xu at the beginning, and I have made my heart clear to Mr. Xu. Now, no one outside knows that I admire Mr. Xu, even if I don't ask for fame. You have to have the audacity to be by Mr. Xu's side, but now you have ended up in a situation that Mr. Xu will avoid..."

Xu Yun sighed helplessly.

Why does Miss Cai have to embarrass herself by saying these things against her will?

What's the difference between pinching your nose and forcing yourself to eat flies?

"It's extremely difficult to see Mr. Xu today. Cai Jin has a saying, you must ask Mr. Xu yourself!" In the night, the eyes of the young woman were filled with tears of grievance.

Xu Yun sighed and said, "Ask, hurry up."

Isn't it just acting, hurry up and finish this part, the big guys will go back to sleep soon...

Hey, it's not easy in the cold weather.

This chapter has a lot of words, so it can be regarded as an update to make up for No. 1 leave.

Thank you for your monthly pass, bow and thank you.
