Seeing that Shuo Ling was silent, Qiao Shu squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head, and began to say, "Actually... I have fallen in love with Your Lordship since I was a child. I didn't tell you because I figured that you would read my mind one day. I never thought that Yang Zijin would interrupt us."

Qiao Shu wanted to continue speaking, but she was interrupted by Shuo Ling, "Qiao Shu, maybe you have misunderstood. I always treat you as my sister! When you finished speaking, just go."

Yang Zijin, who came to Shuo Ling at this time, was surprised and happy when she heard the voice in her small courtyard. It seemed that Marquis Shuo often went to the room she used to live in these days when she was away!

So she walked to the small courtyard. But she could never imagine that Qiao Shu was wearing the clothes of Shuo Ling and looking at him affectionately.

After hearing this, Qiao Shu couldn't help but crying and feeling heart-broken. At this moment, she saw Yang Zijin standing in the courtyard and looking at them. She suddenly came up with an idea.

So when Shuo Ling turned around, Qiao Shu hugged Shuo Ling and said, "Just hug me, please. Then I will give up."

Yang Zijin turned around when she saw this, and Qiao Shu had a smile on her face!

Yang Zijin, since I couldn't make Shuo Ling like me, then I would make you feel unhappy!

At this time, Shuo Ling pushed away Qiao Shu who was holding him, looked at her and said coldly, "You know what I hate the most. Get out of here before I get angry!"

"Well, Your Lordship, I will leave first." At this moment, Qiao Shu was tearful and took Shuo Ling's clothes off of her body and put them aside.

At this moment, Shuo Ling said coldly, "Take it and throw it away!"

Qiao Shu was so heart-broken when she heard what Shuo Ling had said. She never knew that Shuo Ling hated her so much! Tears came out of Qiao Shu's eyes again. She picked up his clothes and ran outside!

After Qiao Shu left, Shuo Ling closed the door of Yang Zijin's house and walked out. He went to the study.

At this time, a guard called Qianjun saw Shuo Ling approaching alone, and said wonderingly, "My Lord, didn't Her Highness find you?"

"What? Her Highness was here!" Shuo Ling quickly asked after hearing that.

Upon seeing that, Qianjun hurriedly replied, "Yes, just now when I came back, I met Her Highness. She also asked me whether Your Lordship had returned. After I replied, Her Highness came in to find you, My Lord."

After Shuo Ling heard it, he felt something wrong. Maybe she saw the scene just now and had a misunderstanding, so she left. But for a moment, a smile appeared on Shuo Ling's face. It seemed that his Zijin was jealous!

Thinking of this, Shuo Ling walked to the study!

It was still early, and he would go to Mu's house in the evening, but he didn't know why she was looking for him now?

But according to Yang Zijin's temperament, it shouldn't be an urgent matter!

When Yang Zijin left Shuo Ling's Mansion, Xian saw that Yang Zijin's complexion was obviously bad, so he asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

"It's okay! Go back to Mu's Mansion." Yang Zijin said and got into the carriage.

When they arrived at Mu's Mansion, Yang Zijin told Xian to go outside the city to pick up Pei Moning and Runyu, and to continue to buy food tomorrow to distribute them to the victims!

After everything was arranged, Yang Zijin got out of the carriage and walked into Mu's Mansion with an unhappy expression. She went straight into her room, ran to the bed and wrapped herself in a quilt!

Upon seeing this, Jiang Wei hurried forward and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Seeing Yang Zijin not speaking, Lan said again, "Your Highness, it will be your wedding day tomorrow. Look at the beautiful wedding dress and jewelry. Your Highness is so lucky. Everyone knows that Marquis Shuo has a tough temperament but he only treats you as his only one. You..."

"Stop! Do not mention him to me! He is such a hypocrite!" Hearing Lan says this, Yang Zijin suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted loudly.

Lan obviously didn't expect that Yang Zijin would become so angry, so she knelt on the ground in shock, lowered her head and said quickly, "I have no idea that I have offended Your Highness. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

"Just go. I didn't mean to be angry at you. Just leave me alone first." Yang Zijin calmed down and said.

Jiang Wei and Lan looked at each other and went out.

At this time, Yang Zijin lay on the bed, and couldn't help cursing Shuo Ling in her mind.

It was said that Marquis Shuo never got close to a woman. It was all a lie!

Originally she thought that she was his only one, but just now, seeing him hugging Qiao Shu, Yang Zijin couldn't help but laugh at herself.

At first, she thought it must be Qiao Shu's trick. But she thought about it for many times and could not figure out why Qiao Shu was dressed in Shuo Ling's clothes. Who could explain it?

Maybe Qiao Shu deliberately hugged him, but what about the clothes? Could Qiao Shu manage to take off his clothes without his permission?

If he hadn't taken off his clothes voluntarily, no one would have dared to take off clothes of Shuo Ling!

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but feel frustrated. All men are b*st*rds! He is no exception!

Thinking of that, she covered herself with a quilt again.

At this time, the sky slowly dimmed, and Shuo Ling left his Mansion.

Yang Zijin at this moment heard the movement in the house and was about to call someone. She then smelled a familiar smell of ambergris and couldn't help sneering inside the quilt!

Great. He even came to her room after hugging other women during the day.

When she decided to continue hiding in the bed and pretending to sleep, Yang Zijin suddenly realized that actually she did nothing wrong. Then why should she avoid him?

At this moment Yang Zijin felt that Shuo Ling's hand was about to touch her, so she hurriedly sat up. Shuo Ling never expected that Yang Zijin would get up suddenly. They collided with their foreheads and made a "boom" sound.

Shuo Ling just frowned when he was hit, but Yang Zijin felt that she could even see some stars after being hit. She couldn't help but shout, "Ah!"

At this time, Jiang Wei at the door heard the movement and quickly opened the door, "Your Highness, what's up?"

When she looked up, she saw Marquis here.

At this moment, Yang Zijin rubbed her head and stared angrily at Shuo Ling. She said to Jiang Wei, "It's okay. Just get out!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Upon seeing this, Jiang Wei immediately understood why Her Highness was so angry when she came back today. It turned out that it was their Marquis that upset Her Highness.

So Jiang Wei hurriedly backed out and closed the door!

At this moment Yang Zijin rubbed her painful forehead, then put her hand down, and snorted, "Your Lordship, what are you doing here so late?"

"To meet my fiancee!" Shuo Ling looked at Yang Zijin and realized that his Zijin was really jealous.

After Yang Zijin heard this, she couldn't help but sneer. She stared at Shuo Ling and said, "Really? Why are you so anxious? Do you think that I will defy the Imperial Edict?"

"Are you jealous?" Listening to Yang Zijin's words, Shuo Ling couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. He got closer to Yang Zijin and looked at her jokingly.

Looking at the appearance of Shuo Ling, Yang Zijin couldn't help but avoid his eyes, and then turned her face away and said to Shuo Ling, "It's impossible. Why am I jealous? It's late..."

"It's not too late!" Before Yang Zijin finished speaking, Shuo Ling looked at her who was jealous, and continued to say something.

Yang Zijin felt speechless after hearing this, so she said, "It's up to you, My Lord!"

Then Yang Zijin just lay down on the bed, turned her back to Shuo Ling, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep!

Shuo Ling didn't say anything. He just sat quietly in front of the bed and watched Yang Zijin fall asleep!

At this time, Shuo Ling saw the signal coming out of Youyou Valley's direction. He frowned slightly.

He bent down and gently kissed Yang Zijin's head, then disappeared in the moonlight!

Youyou Valley.

Bai Zhanfei couldn't sit still after receiving the news that Shuo Ling was about to be married tomorrow. He had to ask Shuo Ling in person!

Shuo Ling entered the cave and pressed the mechanism. After the stone gate opened, he saw General Bai waiting here.

Seeing Shuo Ling coming over, Bai Zhanfei hurriedly saluted, "Your Lordship, I hope you could forgive me for bothering you to come so late!"

"Never mind, General Bai! What's the matter?" Shuo Ling walked to the edge of the valley and asked Bai Zhanfei.

At this time, Bai Zhanfei said, "Your Lordship, it is the critical juncture of our development now. During the flood in Jiandu, the officials concealed the real situation. It is a good time for you to win people's support. But why didn't you allow them to do this?"

"It's not the appropriate time. I sent someone to investigate it. This incident is not just a simple flood. I suspect that it was Xiling's plot." Shuo Ling said to Bai Zhanfei.

Hearing that, Bai Zhanfei asked, "Since Jiandu is still some distance away from Xiling, how can Xiling have designs on it!"

"A large part of the military rations in the frontier fortresses are provided by Jiandu!" Shuo Ling turned around at this time and said briefly to Bai Zhanfei.

Bai Zhanfei quickly said after hearing that, "You mean that Xiling would like to cut off the rations, and then to take advantage of it!"

"Dongling will be mine sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. I don't want to take it with internal and external troubles then!" Shuo Ling nodded and then said.

Bai Zhanfei understood after hearing that, "You are cautious, My Lord. I am too impatient!"

"Anything else?" Shuo Ling asked Bai Zhanfei again.

Bai Zhanfei thought for a while and asked, "Your Lordship, I got the news that tomorrow you will be married to Infanta Qingcheng. Is that true?"

"It was a sudden order issued by Chushi Weiming. If I hadn't agreed, they would have definitely doubted me!" Shuo Ling turned around and said to Bai Zhanfei.

After hearing this, Bai Zhanfei hurriedly walked to Shuo Ling's side, and then asked, "But do you fall in love with the girl?"

At this moment, Shuo Ling nodded.

Upon seeing that, Bai Zhanfei couldn't help but become anxious. What he was worried about still happened, "Your Lordship, being immersed in love will cause problems!"

Hearing Bai Zhanfei's words, Shuo Ling looked at the other side of Youyou Valley and decided that there was no need to hide it at this time, so he said, "I will take care of it, General Bai. Just relax. I know what I am doing! It's getting late, please hurry back to rest!"

After speaking, he turned and left!

Bai Zhanfei was left alone in the valley. At this time, Bai Zhanfei closed his eyes and sighed, and then said silently, "Old General Shuo, if you are up there, please bless us to topple the government of Chushi Youtian as soon as possible. There will be only peace in the world!"

...

When Shuo Ling returned to the mansion and walked into the room, he looked at the red wedding gowns that he would wear tomorrow on the table, and thought of the way Yang Zijin was jealous just now. He couldn't help chuckling.

Then he didn't smile anymore and thought that he would protect Zijin well in any case.

At this time Qianjun came back from outside.

"Your Lordship."

"How's it going?" Shuo Ling asked quickly.

At this time, Qianjun said, "My Lord, according to the news of the informant in the palace, the emperor asked the secret guard to search for the card in Mu's house tonight. If they can't find it, they will tie Her Highness first!"

After Shuo Ling heard it, he realized something wrong. He got up and ran outside, disappearing in the night again!

In a moment of oversight, he neglected that Chushi Youtian used a trick again. He then said silently in his mind that he hoped it was not too late!

Zhou Ji found that someone was sneaky near Mu's Mansion, so he jumped from the tree, pointed at the person with a sword and said, "What are you doing?"
