When Xu Qianting said this, he was afraid of irritating Lin Xiuyan, so he changed the topic and said: "Don't be afraid, no matter what others say or do, I will always be on your side."
Lin Xiuyan looked at his sunny face and bright smile, feeling a little dazed.
Her tone unconsciously softened a lot: "Thank you, but this is my family's business, so don't get involved."
"This is not meddling!" Xu Qianting's voice was higher: "I am seeking justice!"
"The man surnamed Zhou shamelessly committed such a scandal. Even if he doesn't agree to break off the engagement, he actually dares to threaten you!"
"Does he really think that as the city lord, he can cover up the sky with one hand? Does he really think that King Pingnan is dead?"
Lin Xiuyan glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth!"
Xu Qianting was a little unconvinced, but his voice finally became softer: "I'm just telling the truth!"
He was very happy: She cares about me! She really likes me! So should I like her?
Lin Xiuyan didn't know what he was thinking about, so she just said: "Lin Mansion is a troubled place now, you go home first."
She didn't want Xu Qianting to be dragged down by her this time.
Judging from the current situation, it is better to keep a little distance between them.
Xu Qianting said with some worry: "How about I go home and talk to my dad and ask him to help?"
Lin Xiuyan didn't want the Xu family to be involved at all, and hurriedly said: "No need, I can really handle this. You should go home quickly!"
Xu Qianting asked her: "Are you concerned about me?"
Lin Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, fearing that he would misunderstand, and hurriedly said: "Although we are good friends, this matter involves too much, and it is none of your business..."
"You just care about me." Xu Qianting said happily: "You also said that we are good friends, how could I ignore it."
"Don't worry, I'll go back and tell my dad now and ask him to help."
After he finished speaking, he almost skipped away.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She simply couldn't see it!
It's just that he thought of the Xu family's family tradition and Xu Shoubei's behavior of using his military stick whenever he disagreed.
She felt that even if Xu Qianting didn't get his legs broken when he returned home this time, it would be fine.
Lin Yunzhi looked at Xu Qianting and then at Ye Junfei. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Ye Junfei was better than Xu Qianting in terms of appearance and demeanor.
His only regret was that Ye Junfei's origin was unknown. Although he knew that Ye Junfei had no ill intentions towards the Lin family, Ye Junfei seemed to have an extraordinary status.
Moreover, Lin Xiuyan seemed a little afraid of Ye Junfei. She was usually polite to Ye Junfei, but she lacked the sense of intimacy.
Seeing such a golden son-in-law standing in front of him but unable to catch him, he felt anxious and immediately glared at Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan was stared at in confusion by him, and he hinted to her: "That kid Qian Ting will make mischief all day long. If you hang out with him, he will make everyone stupid."
"Someone like Xiaoye is smart at first glance. The more you interact with him, the smarter he will become."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She couldn't answer this! After all, she couldn't deny that Ye Junfei was smart.
She found an excuse to slip away, and Lin Yunzhi sighed inwardly.
He knew that this was not the time to dwell on these matters. He had to find a way to break off the engagement between her and Zhou Chenyang first.
Ye Junfei saw Lin Xiuyan and Xu Qianting getting along, his eyes were deep, but he didn't say anything. He lightly fanned himself and said a few words to Lin Yunzhi.
After hearing this, Lin Yunzhi gave him a thumbs up: "Xiaoye is still thoughtful, I'll go prepare it now!"
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes revealed a bit of depth.
Jiang Xinrou's maid, Hongxiu, walked out of the corner and quickly returned to the room.
As soon as she walked in, Jiang Xinrou asked, "How is it?"
Hongxiu told her roughly what happened today, and her face looked a little ugly.
Hongxiu asked softly: "Miss, what should we do now?"
Jiang Xinrou clenched her hands into fists: "I can't sit here and wait to die!"
She has always had great ambitions. She not only wants the Lin family's money, but also wants to marry Zhou Chenyang.
What happened in Qizhen Garden completely exceeded her expectations.
She asked Hong Xiu: "Have you found the man we found with sores all over his body?"
Hongxiu shook his head: "It's like he disappeared out of thin air, miss, this is so strange!"
Jiang Xinrou also felt that this matter was too strange. Although she had always wanted to snatch Zhou Chenyang away from Lin Xiuyan, she definitely did not want to use this method.
She frowned slightly: "Are you sure you brought someone into Qizhen Garden?"
Hong Xiu replied: "I'm sure, I hid the person in the attic of the room where Lin Xiuyan stayed."
"As soon as the city lord leaves, he will come out from the attic and give Lin Xiuyan to that person. I also asked people to light Meiyan in the house. This will not go wrong."
Lin Xiuyan kicked the door open: "It turns out that this plan is really seamless, and it sounds quite vicious."
Jiang Xinrou and Hongxiu's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they all looked at Lin Xiuyan.
Jiang Xinrou reacted very quickly and immediately said: "Cousin, these are all done by Hongxiu and have nothing to do with me!"
Hongxiu: "..."
She didn't expect Jiang Xinrou to directly dump the whole pot on her, and she was a little confused.
Jiang Xinrou glanced at her, and when she was about to admit it, Lin Xiuyan looked at Jiang Xinrou and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"She is your maid, and she obeys your words. Without your instructions, she would not have the guts to do such a thing."
When Jiang Xinrou saw Lin Xiuyan like this, she suddenly came back to her senses: "It was you! It was you who sent me to the city lord's bed!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly: "Do you understand now? You are not too stupid!"
Jiang Xinrou looked at Lin Xiuyan with shock on her face and said, "You...how could you do such a thing?"
Lin Xiuyan said quietly: "You are allowed to hook up with Zhou Chenyang, you are allowed to use that disgusting man to smear me, but you are not allowed to expose your adultery with Zhou Chenyang?"
By this time, the two of them were completely at odds.
Jiang Xinrou looked at Lin Xiuyan's half-smiling face. No matter how stupid she was, she already knew that Lin Xiuyan already knew about her and Zhou Chenyang's affairs.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "When did you know?"
Lin Xiuyan glanced at her sideways: "Guess."
Jiang Xinrou took a deep breath and said, "Since you know, I won't hide it from you."
"The city lord has never liked you, the person he likes is me!"
Lin Xiuyan agreed with her words: "Wow, that's great. Do you need me to wish you a long life?"
Jiang Xinrou: "..."
She originally wanted to anger Lin Xiuyan. After all, Lin Xiuyan loved Zhou Chenyang so much, but she didn't expect Lin Xiuyan to be indifferent.
Her expression changed, and in an instant she looked pitiful again: "Cousin, I beg you, because the city lord and I truly love each other, please help us!"
