Ximen Jingyu was confused by what Lin Xiner said and listened to her words without saying a word.
"I first killed those two people on Sunset Cliff, and then threw them into the Sunset River. After leaving Sunset Cliff, I met the subordinate who chased you from your mansion at the bottom of the cliff. I forced that subordinate to commit suicide.
." Lin Xiner said.
"Why?" Ximen Jingyu was startled secretly. That person was one of his most trusted subordinates. No wonder there was no news for a long time. It turned out to be dead.
"To protect the Marquis." Lin Xin'er glanced at Ximen Jingyu lightly and said, "He died to protect the Marquis. The Marquis can give his family a heavy reward."
"Speak clearly." Ximen Jingyu thought he could see things from a thousand miles away, but in front of Lin Xiner, he felt that his brain couldn't keep up.
"Isn't it just to deal with the person hiding in the dark for the Marquis? Stop him from playing tricks in front of Ximen Jingxuan." Lin Xiner smiled softly, "The Marquis can just think about it himself. If
If you ask me to explain it clearly, it will lose its fun."
"Is this how you talk to your master?" Ximen Jingyu's face darkened. He could feel Lin Xiner's ridicule towards him. He thought that he was a dignified Xiaoyaohou. Although his power on the surface was very weak, he relied on this
Despite his status, no subjects have ever dared to be so disrespectful to him.
"I think we should be considered collaborators with Mr. Hou. I work for my master, but Mr. Hou is not my master." Lin Xiner made no secret of her scorn at Ximen Jingyu's words.
If she is willing, the identity of Xiaoyao Hou will not last more than a day.
If he hadn't been useful to her, she wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense with him here. She had always been disdainful of these people who were pretentious and thought they were great. The country belonged to his surname, but if it was subverted, this surname would be lost even to ordinary people.
Their status is not as good as that of the former Leng family. The people of the previous Leng family were exterminated by the newly established Qingyuan Dynasty, and very few people survived. This is the best example.
"Continue to talk about your plan. If I think it is unfavorable, don't blame me for being rude to you." Ximen Jingyu suppressed the anger in his heart. Years of forbearance allowed him to continue to listen carefully to Lin Xiner's words. As long as he treated him
To his advantage, he can suppress his anger for the time being. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, so he can wait even longer.
"Since I deliberately kept the body of your subordinate, Ximen Jingxuan will find out sooner or later, and he will definitely be suspicious of the Marquis." Lin Xiner said, seeing a flash in Ximen Jingyu's eyes.
He was sullen and chuckled, "Those who succeed in great things must know how to make trade-offs, and the Marquis is no exception, right?"
"What do you want?" Ximen Jingyu knew that Lin Xiner would soon talk about something he wanted to give up.
"Set a big fire to the Hou Mansion right away. It's best to burn Xiaoyao Hou Mansion to the ground." Lin Xiner said, "I will leave clues that it was someone from the Yuehua Kingdom who did it. I think what happened next will be done by Lord Hou."
Know how to deal with it.”
"Speak clearly to me!" If Ximen Jingyu wasn't still worried about his own image, he really wanted to grab Lin Xiner's clothes and question her sternly.
Lin Xiner looked a little impatient and didn't want to say anything more. She glanced at Ximen Jingyu, who was holding back his anger, and walked towards the door of the darkroom, "Hurry up and wait until Ximen Jingxuan comes to ask for the money."
That’s not all we can do.”
"How can I trust you after you have ruined the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion?" Ximen Jingyu turned around and asked Lin Xiner in a low voice.
"If the Marquis can't bear it, then forget it." Lin Xin'er said in an indifferent tone, "I just want to make the plan perfect. The Marquis has tolerated it for so many years. How can I even build a Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion?"
Are you reluctant to part with it?"
"How do you want me to believe in your intentions?" Ximen Jingyu walked up to Lin Xiner and looked into her eyes tightly. Even half of what he said made him confused, and Lin Xiner's indifference towards him was even more confusing.
It made him angry. It showed that he, a man of several dozen years old, had no brains compared to a yellow-haired girl who was not twenty years old. Moreover, he wanted to destroy the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion as soon as he opened his mouth. The dignified Xiaoyao Hou easily lost the Hou Mansion.
How can he lose face in the capital?
"Just because I am Lin Xiner." Lin Xiner faced Ximen Jingyu's intimidating gaze without fear, "If you don't want Ximen Jingxuan to follow that body and find any clues, you have to listen to me.
otherwise--"
"There is no need to threaten me!" Ximen Jingyu interrupted Lin Xiner, "It's because you did something wrong and didn't dispose of the body properly, and now you are threatening me again!"
"We are not doing well? If the Marquis didn't even know that he was being targeted, how could our plan be exposed? Even if Ximen Jingxuan knew that someone wanted to use him to do something, he would not fail to find a way
To verify the identity of the corpse, I am just a person who works under the orders of my master. The rewards and punishments for success or failure are determined by my master. Unlike the Marquis, one step of abnormality affects the whole situation." Lin Xiner said.
Naturally, if the matter is exposed, Ximen Jingyu will bear a much heavier burden than a small subordinate who is ordered to do things.
"I don't care about a prince's mansion and face. I can endure it for another eight years, so I don't care about this loss. But for you, if the result makes me dissatisfied, I will definitely let your master kill you personally.
You!" Ximen Jingyu stared at Lin Xiner, every word he spoke was filled with a chill.
If he didn't think that Lin Xiner also wanted the plan to continue and be successful, and wanted to be rewarded in front of her master, Ximen Jingyu would not have believed her words. At the moment, they were on the same line, and he
She and her master also had mutual goals, so he wanted to make a serious bet for himself.
"If you're angry, please be patient." Lin Xin'er didn't intend to spend any more time with Ximen Jingyu, so she avoided Ximen Jingyu's obstruction with a few steps and rushed out of the study.
Early in the morning, when most people had just woken up from their sleep, fireworks were already going up in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion. The fire became more and more intense and swallowed up the entire Hou Mansion in an instant. The fierce burning fire was mixed with all kinds of panicked shouts.
.
However, as it was dawn, more people in the Hou Mansion were prepared to escape. No one was killed in the fire, at most they were burned. Even Mrs. Hou Ye, with disheveled hair regardless of makeup, was taken dozens of meters away from the Hou Mansion by her servants.
In a certain place, he lived on the streets with a group of servants from the Hou Mansion.
"Where is the Marquis? Where is the Marquis?" Mrs. Marquis looked around.
"Mom, where is dad!" Ximen Jingyu's son Ximen Hai pointed at a figure jumping out of the thick smoke of the Hou Mansion.
"Master Hou, what is going on?" Mrs. Hou rushed to Ximen Jingyu and asked in a trembling voice.
