Chapter 262 Zi Nu: Are you serious?
Since Xiao Yan'er came into the picture, Jing Ni has become much gentler, though she still appears cold on the surface.
Especially when facing Ying Jing, her cool tone would always unconsciously carry a hint of tenderness.
But today, Ying Jing detected a hint of anger and murderous intent in his voice.
"Don't get angry over this kind of thing, it's not worth it."
Ying Jing gently grasped the soft hands that were still stroking his shoulders and back.
Early spring wasn't very warm, and Jingni's constitution was also prone to coldness, so her slender, fair hands were a little icy.
Ying Jing brought her two hands together, then held them in his own palms, and gently breathed on them.
The warm breath exhaled from her mouth hit Jingni's hand, spreading a moist warmth that made her tremble slightly.
Although she had already had more intimate interactions with Ying Jing, this close contact, tinged with a touch of warmth, still made her feel somewhat awkward and shy.
A blush had spread across her fair, lotus-white arms, extending all the way to her slender neck, her exquisite face, and her earlobes, which were as translucent as jade beads.
With a slight exertion of her hands, Jingni seemed to be trying to break free from her grasp.
Ying Jing's hand was clenched a little too tightly, and Jing Ni was unwilling to use her true energy, so she could only continue to blush and let him be.
"How does my husband plan to treat that child?"
Perhaps due to her past experiences, Jingni rarely speaks on her own initiative; indifference is her defining characteristic.
But today was different; for the first time ever, she took the initiative to ask Ying Jing a question.
“Mi Lian and Xiao Yan’er are not much different in age, it seems Jing Ni is really angry…”
Ying Jing was delighted with this situation, as it made Jing Ni even more vivid.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't go so far as to do anything to that little girl..."
"However... what a virtuous and upright Lord Changping is!"
Mi Lian does have some health problems, but they are not congenital.
Ying Jing wasn't particularly surprised by this, but a slightly sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Since it's not innate, it must be something created by humans later in life.
The reason Changping Jun sent Mi Lian to Hanoi was that she was born with a weak constitution and sought treatment from a skilled physician.
But whether it was Ying Zheng, Ying Jing, or even Lord Changping himself... they all knew very well that this was just an excuse, and the actual situation was not important.
But clearly, Changping Jun pays great attention to such details.
If someone says they are physically weak, then they must truly be physically weak!
However, Nian Duan, this master of medicine, was truly skilled. Even though the farmers dealt with many kinds of medicines year-round, their methods still couldn't escape Nian Duan's notice.
Whether it was a congenital deficiency or an acquired ailment, Master Nian Duan saw it very clearly.
“The child will stay with Master Nian Duan for treatment. You can take Xiao Yan’er to visit when you have time.”
"They are about the same age, so they could be playmates."
Ying Jing's expression was gentle, and he gently stroked Jing Ni's jade hand, speaking softly.
Finding a playmate for Xiaoyan would be a good idea!
Today's cause, tomorrow's effect...
Both Mencius's theory of the inherent goodness of human nature and Xunzi's theory of the inherent evil of human nature emphasize the influence of the environment and education on people.
Ying Jing didn't need to do much for Mi Lian.
As long as he stays in Hanoi and grows up naturally, he will be influenced by his surroundings gradually... and one day Changpyeong-gun will taste the bitter fruit of his actions.
Of course, this is on the premise that Lord Changping was still alive at that time.
Jingni nodded obediently. Her world consisted only of her husband and daughter. She would naturally not refuse anything that would benefit Xiaoyan'er's growth and help her husband.
Looking at Jing Ni's cold yet beautiful and flawless face, coupled with her shy yet docile temperament, Jing Da Shan Ren suddenly felt his appetite whetted.
"Come on, lie down here..."
Indifferent, shy, docile, like a giant salamander... Jing Ni is simply irresistible.
……
Changping Jun sent his daughter to Hanoi to recuperate, and anyone with eyes could see that there was something fishy about it.
But being seen through doesn't mean anything; the plan was still effective, at least within the Qin state, the rumors and disturbances have decreased significantly.
As long as Ying Zheng doesn't use this matter to cause trouble, it won't affect Lord Changping's status in Qin.
Ying Jing never expected that this matter would directly resolve the issue of Lord Changping.
Empress Dowager Huayang was still alive, and Lord Changping, as Fusu's maternal uncle and the representative of the Chu faction in the Qin court, could get away with almost anything unless he directly betrayed the country or attempted to assassinate the king.
"Brother Wang..."
Ying Jing let out a soft breath.
He knew that there was a reason behind this, which was perhaps why Ying Zheng had Lord Changping send Mi Lian to Henan.
Even though Ying Jing never accepted any official position and remained outside the court, his influence was not to be underestimated.
Lord Changping can serve as a check and balance.
This may not be about trust, but rather... an instinct belonging to a king.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"
Ying Jing shook his head and went for a walk in the courtyard.
In the pavilion beside the artificial lake, two bright women, one in red and one in purple, each occupied a corner.
Yan Lingji spoke with a seductive and alluring smile tinged with a cold laugh, while Zi Nu responded with a gentle and nonchalant tone.
The atmosphere seemed somewhat stagnant, and it was unclear what the two were talking about.
Ying Jing sensed something was wrong and wanted to leave.
But it was too late; both women had already noticed his arrival.
"Owner!"
"The...Lord..."
Zi Nu perhaps felt that Changxin Jun was being too distant, so she suddenly changed her form of address, but the latter half of her sentence was barely audible.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Ying Jing had no choice but to take the initiative.
"Didn't Miss Zi Nu say she wouldn't enter my residence?"
"And what about Yan Lingji? How's the matter I asked you to do?"
Ying Jing put on a warm and gentle smile. He walked slowly into the waterside pavilion and subtly eased the tense atmosphere between the two women in the center.
After Zi Nu arrived in Hanoi, she quickly re-established Zi Lan Xuan. However, the current Zi Lan Xuan is more like a merchant guild, which is in charge of the wine business in Hanoi.
Even though she had the authority to enter and leave Changxin Jun's residence at any time, she stayed in Zilan Pavilion all day long and never came here once.
Ying Jing was slightly surprised by her sudden visit today.
"I'm worried that if I don't come soon, everyone will want to kill me..."
Her long, pale purple hair, interspersed with silvery white strands, swayed gently in the spring breeze, brushing against her fair cheeks and nestled between her glossy red lips, revealing her hidden allure.
"Please, Lord Changxin, have the craftsmen stop. Zi Nu is of lowly status and of humble appearance; she is not worthy of that golden house!"
Zi Nu now exudes a gentle temperament, but at this moment, she seems to be holding her breath, her chest heaving with a strange allure.
Back in Korea, Ying Jing once said in Zi Lan Xuan that he wanted to build a golden house to hide Zi Nu, and also bring Nong Yu there...
Zi Nu initially thought Ying Jing was just joking.
But to her utter surprise, this guy was actually serious.
If Zilanxuan hadn't habitually gathered information and discovered this, she probably wouldn't have known until the Golden House was repaired!
Ying Jing was slightly taken aback...
Although Lord Changxin does dislike breaking his promises, he was indeed just joking back then.
This kind of thing is fine to joke about, but if you actually do it, all the reputation you've built up over the years will be wasted.
Moreover, the Gongshu family is currently busy building the Hundred Schools Academy, so they don't have the time for this!
