The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 109 You like this appearance, right?

Xue Ying was still in shock. Lin Shanjuan had already let go of her hand and was ready to leave. She had to hold on to the door frame to maintain her balance and shouted at him to stop.

"Sir! Sir... you must have worked so hard to help me along the way. Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"

Lin Shanjuan realized something was wrong, but he refused to go in. He just stood at the door and said, "No need to drink tea. You said before that you would go home after I recovered from my injury. Why haven't you left yet?"

Xue Ying was stunned. "Huh?" She reacted and looked around, "Your Excellency, it would be nice if you could try some cakes. I know you don't like greasy food, so I only put osmanthus flowers in it and no candied fruit."

The pastries did look appetizing, but what Lin Shanjuan saw at this moment was not Xue Ying holding the pastries, but a witch holding a red apple.

What if I eat it and then fall into her trap...

"I won't..."

"Your Highness! The Prince Consort is right here!"

Her words were interrupted by Cen Li's annoying voice again. Lin Shanjuan looked over with unfriendly eyes, and happened to meet Qi Zhaomian, who attracted her attention more, and was speechless for a moment.

Well, it turns out these two are working together?

Okay, okay, I really might as well go back to work.

Qi Zhaomian's gaze fell on the distance between the two of them. He was very satisfied with Lin Shanjuan's sense of propriety, but his face was as cold as winter.

"Your Highness, your Highness, haven't been home for a few days. Finally, you have some free time, but you come straight here. Is there no room for you in the Heyang Palace?"

Cen Li was gloating in her heart, and fanned the flames with her sleeves tucked in, "Prince Consort, His Highness has been waiting for you for many days, why did you come looking for her first?"

Xue Ying also hurriedly jumped in front of Lin Shanjuan, shouting, "Your Highness, please forgive me! It's all my fault.", while trying to pretend that she couldn't keep her balance and fell into Lin Shanjuan's arms.

Lin Shanjuan didn't feel comfortable looking at Qi Zhaomian from beginning to end, and she didn't care what others said, until she felt someone grabbing her from the side, and she subconsciously dodged quickly.

Now, Xue Ying, who didn't help anyone, really fell to the ground. The pain was so severe that she couldn't hold her throat and she cried out "Ouch".

Cen Li rolled her eyes at her, as if she was fed up with this fool.

Qi Zhaomian turned his back and said, "I have something to tell you."

So, let’s see where you can escape.

Lin Shanjuan originally wanted to go back to the Qingzhengsi directly to avoid having to deal with all the intrigues in the Princess's Mansion, but the current situation seemed to be not in her right to outsiders, so she couldn't leave.

Cen Li glared at Lin Shanjuan provocatively, but the latter ignored him and walked straight past him.

The two of them returned to Heyang Palace in a low-pressure atmosphere. As soon as the door was closed, a smile appeared in Qi Zhaomian's eyes. He deliberately turned his back to her so that she wouldn't see his expression.

"You're walking so fast, are you looking for her?"

Just listening to her voice, I can't tell whether she is happy or angry.

Lin Shanjuan inexplicably wanted to explain. Although she still cared about being "one of the canaries", it was not her character to keep her thoughts to herself.

"I didn't go look for her. I bumped into her on my way back, so I helped her back."

Qi Zhaomian still didn't turn around. She really enjoyed the feeling that Lin Shanjuan was so nervous about her that he tried his best to explain, so she continued to attack.

"There are so many maids in the mansion, and you are the only one who can support her?"

Lin Shanjuan was speechless for a moment - there was no one around at the time, and her mind was in a mess, so she didn't think too much about it.

While she was speechless, Qi Zhaomian added, "You just told me you like me, and now you're showing your affection to other people. Does everyone like you?"

Lin Shanjuan was really anxious. She took three steps around to Qi Zhaomian, who quickly stopped smiling.

"I don't like anyone else, and I've never thought about these things before. This is the first time I like you."

Qi Zhaomian's lips almost couldn't be suppressed. He heard her add in a low voice: "Who is like you who raises so many canaries? I'm not angry yet. I'm one of them..."

Qi Zhaomian looked at her doubtfully: "Where was I raised?"

Lin Shan was tired of silence. As the saying goes, if you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence. Although this sentence is not used in this way, she exploded - but she didn't dare to speak loudly, just whispering softly.

"Aren't those the ones in the backyard?"

Qi Zhaomian raised her eyebrows. She suddenly wanted to know what she was like in Lin Shanjuan's heart.

Lin Shanjuan must have heard a lot of rumors about herself. It is true that she has been married four times. Now she cares about the counselors in the backyard. Obviously, in her eyes, "keeping a male favorite" is also true.

If she also feels that she is "unfaithful to her husband", then what is the purpose of her liking her?

Lin Shanjuan caught a glimpse of the increasingly intense thought in her eyes, but before he could catch up, Qi Zhaomian pulled him up and brought him to the bed.

"Huh?" Lin Shanjuan was stunned. Qi Zhaomian was approaching her. The distance between them was extremely close. At this distance, she could clearly see any emotion that flashed in Qi Zhaomian's eyes.

On the contrary, Qi Zhaomian would not miss any of her hypocrisy.

"Did you know that I have married the sons of four powerful officials?"

Lin Shanjuan was stunned, not understanding why she suddenly brought up this matter. He nodded blankly, "I know, I heard about it."

Qi Zhaomian asked again: "You have also seen the male favorite that this palace has."

Lin Shanjuan felt a little uncomfortable and agreed casually: "Yes, I just met him."

"You said you like me, don't you mind these?"

Lin Shanjuan was completely confused and stared at Qi Zhaomian blankly: "I don't mind. After all, they existed before me, so their existence must be reasonable. And I just like you, it's not like we're already together. Why should I mind these things?"

Now it was Qi Zhaomian's turn to be speechless.

She had never heard such remarks before - I just like you, I'm not with you.

Can these two things be separated?

"You...but didn't you just say..."

Lin Shanjuan frankly admitted: "I did say it, and I didn't lie to you. I do like you, but that doesn't mean I can restrict you or interfere with you. Your life will go on as usual. The only difference is that you know that I like you."

Qi Zhaomian was completely stunned. In her eyes, "liking" and "being together" were the same thing. If you liked someone, didn't that mean you had to be together? What was the point of liking someone if you weren't together?

My life will remain the same? What I mean is that you just say what you like, and nothing else will change, right?

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. When she finally managed to calm down, she asked her, "But after all I've done, why do you still like me?"

She climbed onto Lin Shanjuan's shoulders and put her lips in front of her, not missing Lin Shanjuan's panic and swallowing movements.

The conclusion drawn from this observation is that Lin Shanjuan longs for her lips, and perhaps she longs for more.

This realization made Qi Zhaomian feel even more ridiculous, and she was happy about it, but Lin Shanjuan thought that she was probably just like everyone else, just coveting beauty.

"What you like is this skin, right?"
