Lin Xiao secretly screamed that something was wrong, but pretended to be calm on the surface:
"I don't dare to lie. I did go to the Seventh Prince's villa today."
Li Yujuan stared at her with burning eyes and said in a strange tone:
"After all, my tree is not tall enough and dense enough to catch the eye of Mr. Lin."
This statement sounded like jealousy, but after careful consideration, it sounded like sarcasm. In short, it made Lin Xiao feel very uncomfortable.
Lin Xiao frowned:
"You are too stupid to learn how to flatter someone who is superior and flatter someone who is inferior!"
"snort!"
Li Yujun snorted coldly, put down the teacup in his hand, stared at her with burning eyes, and said word by word,
"I wonder if Young Master Lin has ever heard of the words 'beauties bring disaster'?"
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, confused:
"What kind of disaster is beauty?"
Seeing her confused face, Li Yuqian's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he said coldly:
"I know that there is a beauty hidden in Lao Qi's house. Even if you like her, you won't cling to her, right?!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao knew that Li Yujun had misunderstood. She became anxious and was about to explain, but Li Yujun said first:
"Do you know the consequences of competing with the royal family for women? This is what I call beauty's disaster!"
After saying that, Li Yujun pretended to be enlightened and nodded, looking at Lin Xiao with a look full of teasing:
"If you like beautiful women, you can tell me that I will do it for you. Why do you need to use this method?!"
Lin Xiao's head boomed, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned.
This, where is this and where?
She was just visiting her cousin and concubine, so why did she get involved in a beauty scandal?
Lin Xiao was about to get angry, but when she saw Yu Xilin standing next to Li Yujuan, Yu Xilin also looked like he hated iron and steel, and he couldn't help but become more angry.
She raised her head, her eyes filled with anger, and she gritted her teeth and asked Yu Xilin:
"I wonder if Mr. Yu has ever seen what the woman who lives in the Seventh Prince's Courtyard looks like?"
Yu Xilin was stunned, not knowing why Lin Xiao asked him this question, and answered without thinking:
"I heard that the girl was born to be extremely beautiful."
"It is said that?"
Lin Xiao sneered:
"Who did you hear that from?"
Yu Xilin glanced at Li Yujun at a loss.
Seeing this, Li Yujuan quickly helped:
"Everyone knows that Lao Qi brought back a beauty from Jiuzhou City."
"The beauty's surname is Han and her maiden name is Ruoshui. She is the concubine of a scholar in Linjia Village. I wonder if Mr. Yu knows her as the head of the family?"
After saying that, Lin Xiao looked straight at Yu Xilin, as if he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Yu Xilin was stunned when he heard this, his whole body was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
The beauty Li Yuxuan brought back turned out to be Lin Xiao's concubine?!
Li Yujun couldn't understand the twists and turns between the two. Seeing Lin Xiao being so aggressive, he couldn't help but frowned and said in a slightly irritable tone:
"How did Jade Boy know that beautiful husband? Stop being unreasonable!"
Lin Xiao smiled faintly:
"Not only Master Yu knows that beauty's husband, but Prince Jian also knows him."
"Nonsense! I have never even seen the beauty's face, how can I know her husband?!"
Li Yujun slammed the table and roared angrily.
Lin Xiao smiled contemptuously and said to Yu Xilin in a neutral tone:
"Master Yu, come and explain to Prince Jian!"
A flash of panic flashed across Yu Xilin's face, and she quickly knelt down:
"You damn boy, you didn't mention to the prince that the beauty's husband is actually...is..."
"It's Mr. Lin, right?"
Li Yujun suddenly spoke and interrupted him.
Lin Xiao was slightly shocked and looked up at him with a complicated mood.
He really knows everything!
But why do you have to pretend not to know?!
Is this what the so-called politicians want?
A deep sense of frustration welled up in her heart.
I feel like a clown who is being played with by others!
"Prince Jian is good at acting, but I don't know if all my doubts have been dispelled now?"
Lin Xiao lowered his eyes, hiding the bitterness in his heart.
After hearing this, Li Yujun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and tasted the tea leisurely.
"Boy Lin's words have reminded me!"
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and dug, touched, and touched. After a long while, he took out a token from his arms and threw it in front of Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao subconsciously reached out to catch it and saw the three characters "Li Yujun" engraved on the token.
The handwriting on the token was neat and elegant, and it seemed that it was written by a great calligrapher, but I don’t know why Li Yujun suddenly handed this thing into her hands?
"This is?"
"This is my king's token. Tomorrow you will enter the palace with the token and dedicate your salt-making skills to the emperor, so that the seventh child will not be able to covet the salt-making skills!"
Lin Xiao's heart sank suddenly.
How many informants did Li Yujun arrange around Li Yuxuan?
Even Li Yuxuan, who is as cunning as a fox, didn't notice it!
Whether it was because Li Yujun wanted to destroy Li Yuxuan's plan, or simply to save her from Li Yuxuan's clutches.
As long as Lin Xiao goes to the palace with the token, all the spies arranged by Li Yujun will be exposed to the sun.
In this case, Li Yujun will completely offend Li Yuxuan!
At that time, Lin Xiao will fall into deep self-blame, whether it is for himself or not.
Furthermore, she would also like to teach Li Yuxuan the art of salt making to help Han Ruoshui gain the benefits of being the concubine!
Thinking of this, she bit her lip and looked at Li Yujun with some hesitation.
Li Yuqian couldn't help but frowned when he saw Lin Xiao's eyes turned towards him:
"Boy Lin, do you have any worries?"
Lin Xiao took a deep breath:
"Prince Ji, in fact, the art of making salt can be slowly handed over to the court."
"Why? Do you want to teach Lao Qi the art of making salt?"
Li Yujun narrowed his eyes with a bad look on his face. He obviously misunderstood what Lin Xiao meant:
"I'm telling you, boy Lin, don't even think about it! If I know that you teach salt-making skills to Lao Qi, I will definitely kill you!"
"I'm just afraid that the prince and the seventh prince will be like fire and water."
Lin Xiao's tone was calm with a hint of pleading:
"And my cousin, the beauty in the other courtyard, I have to get her the benefits she deserves. I owe her this, so I have to teach her the art of making salt!"
"Boy Lin, are you going to confront me?"
Li Yujun narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him with a sneer.
In his eyes, Lin Xiao was just a young boy, while he was the second prince of the current dynasty, one person inferior to ten thousand people.
"Prince Jian has misunderstood, I definitely didn't mean this!"
Lin Xiao quickly explained:
"The art of making salt is divided into two parts: upper and lower. I only taught him the second part, which is the filtration method we use now. The effect of filtering salt using this method is indeed good, but the cost is very high."
