In his previous life, not to mention the Eighth Prince, even Yao Mountain people looked down on him. In this life, how could his peach blossoms flourish like this?

Lin Shu said softly, ”Yes, Eighth Prince, I am unwilling. It doesn't matter if you want to help me, or if you really want to marry me, I … I don't want to. ”

Although her words did not sound good, they were the truth. She knew that it was better to speak frankly.

Eighth Prince was used to being surrounded by people from a young age, but his personality was still humble and polite. He said with a bitter smile, ”You're not willing … Are you really willing to marry Cousin Jing? ”Have you asked about Cousin Jing's reputation …”

He did not dislike Lu Jingran at all. On the other hand, he was extremely envious of his cousin and could do whatever he wanted with him.

Lin Shu said: ”I already know the reputation of Uncle Jingtang!”

This silkpants was just Lu Jingran's disguise, but in reality, Lu Jingran had a lot of faces that they did not know about.

The Eighth Prince's gaze seemed deep and meaningful, ”Since it's like this, then I have nothing to say … As for the Queen Mother, you don't need to worry about it, I will explain everything to her clearly. ”

A man needed to be able to bear the consequences. Now that he could finally let it go, was it possible for him to do so later?

Lin Shu did not dare to look at Eighth Prince. After living a new life, she understood that she would have to repay this kindness and enmity back multiple times. But how was she supposed to repay the kindness Eighth Prince had given her!

If not for Eighth Prince, he would have already become a ghost under the blade.

It's just that gratitude and love are different.

After thinking about it, she still said, ”Eighth Prince, I'm sorry …” She didn't seem to know what to say or what to say, except that she was sorry.

Eighth Prince stood up and waved at her, ”Don't apologize to me, there is nothing wrong with you. I originally thought that you were unwilling to marry Cousin Jing, but now that you are willing, I am relieved …”

After saying a few more words, he left. His expression was even more unsightly than before.

The table was full of dishes, but Eighth Prince didn't even touch a single mouthful. He hadn't even tasted any …

Lin Shu stared at the spot where Eighth Prince was sitting just now, and stood up after a while, and said to Actinin Qin: ”Let's go!”

Little did they know that they were being watched from outside.

Ban Xia watched as he got on the carriage and gradually left. Only then did he instruct the other two guards to continue watching, to see if there was anything wrong.

He then went to the National Duke Ning Palace.

Inside the Banyan Garden, Lu Jingran was sitting at his desk, thinking about something. Hearing footsteps coming from outside, he raised his head and asked, ”How is it?”

After Ban Xia closed the door, he said in a low voice: ”Elder, the Lin Family's Fourth Miss is indeed meeting the Eighth Prince in Celestial Fragrance Pavilion!”

He was busy everyday, if it were not for the fact that his master had assigned him to watch over the Lin Family's Fourth Miss, why would he put all this into consideration?

Lu Jingran's face did not look good.

Ban Xia paused, ”Regarding this matter, do you want to reconsider?”

Lu Jingran still did not speak.

He had already received the news yesterday that Lin Shu had delivered a letter to the palace. Back then, he had felt uncomfortable and thought that Lin Shu was willing to marry him.

But everything was fine, why did Lin Shu write to the Eighth Prince?

How many years of painstaking work did he have to place people in the palace? However, it was not that simple to reach Eighth Prince's side … So he had no idea what the contents of this letter were!

He wanted to hear what Lin Shu and Eighth Prince had to say, but he didn't expect that Lin Shu was also cautious. He patted Actinin Qin and Yun Dou who were guarding the door, and even more so, was wandering around the place. Therefore, the few secret guards he sent out did not hear what Lin Shu and Eighth Prince were saying at all.

Lu Jingran, who had always been calm and at ease, held onto the tea Gu with his hand. His palm felt slightly cold, and his hand that was holding the tea Gu let out creaking sounds because he had too much strength.

Ban Xia's face did not look good. He had followed beside Lu Jingran for so many years, but he had never seen Lu Jingran act like this before.

After a long while, Lu Jingran finally asked: ”Then how did Fourth Miss look when she left?”

Ban Xia shook his head, ”Because Fourth Miss has seen the little ones before, we don't dare to get too close, we are afraid that Fourth Miss will see through us.”
