Anyone with enough emotional intelligence can sense Jinxiang's affection.
She almost had the words "like" carved on her face as a tattoo.
Li Qinzai was not a fool. After Jinxiang helped him several times, he finally understood something. Unfortunately, he could not respond to her.
In this era, it is normal to have groups of wives and concubines, but he is different from Jinxiang. Li Qinzai cannot divorce his wife, and Jinxiang cannot become a concubine.
If the relationship with her goes beyond the relationship between man and woman, it can only be called "fornication" in this era. Others say it is a romantic affair, but for Cui Jie and Jin Xiang, it will undoubtedly be the collapse of their lives.
"Uncle Li County, the situation is very serious. I don't know if the news I brought can help you. Grandpa Niu said that if you are not stupid, you should know what to do..." Jin Xiang said softly.
Li Qinzai frowned: "Because of this incident, do you owe Niu Fangzhi a favor?"
Jin Xiang turned his head to the side and said: "The favor he owes my father is just some money spent on having fun in the past. This time it is offset."
Li Qinzai was dumbfounded, Gua Po Ni had started cheating on his father before she got married. If he really married her, Prince Teng would have to go to the streets to beg for food in less than two years.
Niu Fangzhi was acquainted with Li Qinzai. When the Wang family's ancestral home was burned down, Niu Fangzhi had a very unhappy time with him.
However, a great scholar is a great scholar after all, and he can still distinguish between personal grudges and major right and wrong. Whether it is returning favors or upholding justice, he finally helped him find out this important news regardless of past grudges.
"Your father's friends are pretty good, and Lao Niu can handle them well. I'll prepare a generous gift for him later," Li Qinzai said with a smile, "Since I'm on the same path as your father, I'll ask someone to buy a pair of Silla maids for him.
"
"I heard that the Silla maid is gentle and good at serving men. At Lao Niu's age, having a Silla maid serve him may shorten his life. But what people want in this life is to be happy. Being happy to death is considered a loss.
."
Jin Xiang said angrily: "Nothing you say from your mouth sounds human. Grandpa Niu is kind enough to help you, but you want to shorten his life. Are you still a human being?"
Li Qinzai sneered: "You really don't understand men. If you don't believe it, you can ask Lao Niu face to face. A pile of gold and silver jewelry and a pair of beautiful Silla maids were placed in front of him and asked him which one he would choose. If he chooses gold and silver,
As for jewelry, I’ll take your last name.”
Jinxiang sneered a few times, then came back to his senses: "You want to trick me again! Don't we have the same surname?"
Li Qinzai also realized, tsk, Jinxiang is a member of the royal family, her real name is Li Rui, and "Jinxiang" is probably her online name.
Li Qinzai's surname is a given surname. It was given by the great ancestor Li Yuan to his grandfather Li Ji. Generally speaking, everyone has some relationship with the royal family.
Okay, one more reason why we can't be together.
"What are you going to do next? Yuan Gongyu is the Yushi Zhongcheng and is in charge of the Yushitai in the middle of the court. This time he is secretly instigating the attack on your British government. The emperor has a close personal relationship with you. Why don't you go to the palace to see the emperor and ask the emperor for help?
You seek justice." Jin Xiang suggested in a low voice.
Li Qinzai shook his head: "How can the emperor uphold justice for me if there is no evidence? Besides, there is no hatred without reason in the world. Yuan Gongyu should not be the real mastermind behind the scenes."
Jin Xiang opened his eyes wide: "You mean, there is someone behind Yuan Gongyu?"
Li Qinzai sighed and said: "My grandfather is a British duke. He has made great achievements in three dynasties and served as an assistant to the government. He is not a soft persimmon. A censor Zhongcheng took action against my family without any grudge. Do you think this is normal?"
Jin Xiang said calmly: "Then behind him is..."
Li Qinzai waved his hand: "Don't guess, the British government is already famous and attracts attention. In recent years, a nearly perfect evil genius like me has appeared, which makes people more and more jealous."
"Those people with dark minds cannot see other people's families continue to prosper. If you continue to guess like this, there are countless people in the court waiting for my family to collapse."
Jin Xiang snorted, Qiong's nose wrinkled, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Shameless..."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Leave it to me to solve the matter. The news you sent is very important to me. I will probably have a clue next."
Jin Xiang blushed and said: "As long as it works, I... I actually do it for Jie'er. She finally found a good home. I can't bear to see her live an unstable life. No matter what... it's over as soon as possible."
That’s all.”
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I understand, I understand, of course you are doing it for Jie'er, otherwise what? It can't be for me, right?"
Jin Xiang's pretty face turned redder and redder, and she said angrily: "Of course it can't be for you, you... you defrauded my father of all his money, and I hate you so much."
Li Qinzai sighed: "I just defrauded your father of a little money. Isn't this a joke that can't be overcome?"
"I can't make it! Unless you give me back the money."
Li Qinzai immediately changed the subject: "The King Luo Bin you recommended is good and has some abilities. I have to thank you for recommending a rare talent to me."
Jin Xiang's tone suddenly became softer: "I have read the papers submitted by that scholar, and he is quite talented. My father is a vassal king, and he has many aides under his sect. But you have been working alone in the past two years, and there are many people around you.
If you need someone to check for your omissions, it’s time to hire some staff. King Luo Bin is the right person."
Li Qinzai nodded and looked at her deeply: "You seem to have helped me several times. Thank you very much."
Jin Xiang turned his head uncomfortably and said bluntly: "I...just helped Jie'er. If you treat her well, you can thank me."
"I owe you too many favors and I don't know how to repay you. Is there anything you need my help with?" Li Qinzai asked.
Jin Xiang shook his head: "I have no worries about food and clothing, and I don't seek fame or fortune. I have no place where I need your help."
Looking up at Li Qinzai and smiling, Jin Xiang suddenly had a hint of mischief in his eyes and said, "Why don't you owe me a favor first? One day I will be in trouble and need your help. You can't refuse, how about that?"
Li Qinzai looked calm, facing the north and holding his hands in the distance: "As long as it does not violate the chivalrous principles of martial arts..."
"Hey! Be more serious!" Jin Xiangbo said angrily.
"Okay, I promise you, even if you want to kill a good person, I will pass the knife to you." Li Qinzai said seriously.
Jin Xiang smiled movedly, with a rare cunning look in his eyes: "Is it for Jie'er's sake, or is it purely for me?"
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "It's purely for you and has nothing to do with anyone."
Jin Xiang's eyes turned red, but he still smiled and said: "With your words, I will die without regrets."
After saying that, he stood up and said softly: "I'm leaving, and I will help you continue to inquire. You should quickly find a way to get through this disaster."
Li Qinzai stood up to see him off, but unexpectedly Jin Xiang suddenly turned around, stared into his eyes with rare boldness, and summoned up the courage to say: "Li Qinzai, if, I mean if, the person you met first was me, you
Will it happen, will it happen..."
The words suddenly stopped at this point, and the courage he had finally summoned suddenly disappeared. Jin Xiang shook his head, smiled sadly, and turned around to leave.
Her back was lonely and determined, and she couldn't cross that gap.
Li Qinzai stared at her back steadily, as if he already understood the unspoken meaning of her words. After a long time, he murmured in a low voice: "...Yes."
