Chapter 127 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
Chapter 127 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
Yingsi frowned in discomfort, but continued to challenge:
"The East Factory is a place where murder is common. It's not surprising that you killed me. I didn't expect to stay with you for long. Killing me now will save me from the suffering along the way..."
Hearing this, Wei Xuanzhi tightened the strength in his hands a little more.
It's better to kill her like this. She should have died by the knife that night. It's because of curiosity that I want to see what else she can do.
But now, it was no longer just curiosity. She was able to affect his emotions and influence his judgment on certain things. This was not the emotion he should have.
His eyes were dark and dark, with a hint of hostility, as if he was going to cut her into pieces in the next moment to calm his anger.
The next moment, his fingertips touched something and he loosened his grip inadvertently.
Yingsi had already prepared himself to die, but suddenly he felt the force on his neck become lighter.
She opened her eyes slightly and saw Wei Xuanzhi focusing his gaze on her left artery, looking at something seriously, while his cool fingertips were rubbing the skin on her neck from time to time.
Potian's anger had subsided just like that. Yingsi was a little surprised and was about to ask something when she heard his extremely gentle voice.
"When was the injury?"
Injuried?
Yingsi tried hard to recall, yes, when Zhang Leqing threatened her last night, he put a knife to her neck, and the blade did cut her skin a little at that time.
Because of her disregard, that tiny wound had already healed automatically, leaving only a tiny light red mark.
She looked from his eyelashes to his dark pupils, which were tinged with an emotion she couldn't read, but inexplicably made her feel a little excited.
This is not the look a leader gives his subordinates, nor is it disgust or mockery.
Like, the way a man looks at a woman.
Then, it’s time to change strategy.
"Already, it's done."
She spoke in a very soft voice, as if she was afraid that her voice would disturb the cold white hand on her neck.
Even so, the owner of the hand did not let go of this irrelevant answer.
After a brief touch, he slowly withdrew his hand, but his eyes did not move away from her. Instead, they shifted to her puzzled gaze.
"Why are you angry?"
When he asked this question, he restrained almost all his emotions and was so calm that it seemed as if the man who was full of murderous intent just now was not the same person.
Yingsi tried to read something from his face suspiciously, but he quickly controlled himself and no joy or sadness could be seen on his face.
She paused, lowered her eyes and said softly:
"Although I am afraid of death, I don't want adults to tease me. Whether it's suspicion or precaution, if I can't get into the adults' hearts, adults will just shut me out and not let me feel hopeful. In the end, they will tell me that they are just teasing me..."
Hearing this, the eyelashes of the man sitting opposite him trembled inadvertently, and his fingertips on the table gently scraped the edge of the cup, and finally pursed his lips and said softly: "Hmm."
Yingsi raised her head and glared at him in displeasure: "What do you mean by um?"
Unable to avoid her questioning, he raised his eyes slightly, the thick fog in his eyes gradually melted away, and he finally opened his lips.
"Why do you want to enter my heart?"
She would answer this question first, put her face in front of him, blinked and said seriously: "You are so smart, can't you see it?"
His eyes gradually darkened, but he still pretended to remain calm.
"Unrecognizable."
A flash of obvious disappointment appeared in the expectant eyes before he looked away and poked at his teacup listlessly.
"It doesn't matter if you can't tell. I'm going to leave the palace anyway. Once I find my family, I'll find an honest husband and live a peaceful life..."
Wei Xuanzhi was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Ordinary people don't dare to marry a woman who has been in the palace."
The corners of his mouth curled up inadvertently, and Yingsi said, "Then bring more dowry. Even if it's just for the money, there will always be someone who will marry you."
He sank his eyes and poured himself another cup of tea: "A man who is greedy for money is not suitable to be a husband."
Yingsi sighed, then propped up her head and looked at him, her tone somewhat lost but with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
"What should I do? I can't just like adults all my life..."
The fingertips holding the teacup on the opposite side trembled, and the cup fell from the palm of his hand, spilling the tea, which dripped along the edge of the table onto his legs and seeped into his trouser legs.
System: Favorability +1~
There was a flash of panic in his eyes. He looked at the overturned teacup for a moment, then slowly took out a handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped the water stains on his legs, and finally threw the handkerchief casually on the table.
Yingsi lowered her eyes and snickered, then blinked and asked knowingly, "Sir, what's wrong?"
He glanced at her lightly and said angrily: "Nonsense."
Yingsi let out a deep breath and looked towards the carriage as if nothing had happened.
"My Lord, please take me for talking nonsense..."
The melancholy on the surface was about to be unable to cover up the ecstasy in the heart. Yingsi tried hard to suppress the urge to laugh, picked up the bag and walked towards the carriage.
Zhang Leqing just got off the carriage. Seeing Yingsi, he bowed and was about to leave. Then, for some reason, he stopped her and asked, "Are you from the capital?"
Yingsi nodded.
Zhang Leqing nodded slightly and began to talk to himself: "So the young lady yesterday was a spy sent by the Governor-General, and Zhang is also part of his plan."
Yingsi patted his shoulder and said calmly:
"Think positively. He has reached his current position in the capital. You can tell with your toes that he is not a pushover. You just happened to get involved, not framed by him. Otherwise, Master Zhang would be in jail right now."
Zhang Leqing laughed at himself: "Miss, your words cannot comfort me."
Yingsi shrugged, "I didn't intend to comfort you, I just wanted to remind you, Master Zhang, that the Lianzhou case is not that simple. You are a newly appointed prefect with no foundation, and I'm afraid you can't take down those cannibalistic people. It's better to act like yesterday, and wait for our master to return from Chuzhou, and then you can use his power to root out the termites. This way, you won't be hated by others, and you don't have to be scared."
Zhang Leqing thought deeply for a moment, his eyes lingered on her for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Young lady is a good lobbyist for Lord Wei."
Yingsi waved her hand and walked towards the carriage.
"I am just reminding Master Zhang that if you want to be a good official, you must have someone to support you."
Zhang Leqing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the man who was still sitting in the tea stall, and walked towards him.
Yingsi lifted the carriage curtain and saw Lady Jin, who was thinking about something with her head down, looking sad. When she saw her come in, she immediately smiled.
Yingsi sat down beside her and slowly held her hand: "Don't worry, the adults will keep you safe."
Lady Jin forced a smile and said, "I know, but I'm worried about how I'm going to survive after this case is over..."
