Nangong Lin was in the study room taking care of some matters. When he heard the servant inform Liu Zhixue that they would meet, he originally had refused to meet her. Afterwards, the servant had passed on a few times that she would not leave until she saw him.
Thus, he had no choice but to drop what he was doing and head to the main hall. Unexpectedly, Xue'er suddenly told him that her eyes were hurting and told him to take a look. That was the scene that Yan Xiaoxi saw.
Yan Xiaoxi curled her lips and immediately replied, "What? Can't I come here? "
Her words were full of jealousy, not masking her true nature at all.
Liu Zhi smiled in ridicule and stood up slowly. She grabbed onto Nangong Lin's arm and said coquettishly, "Big Brother Lin, this is the wangfei that you've married."
Her curvy body was tightly pressed against Nangong Lin's body. This kind of action was as if she had already experienced this countless times with the two of them, but Nangong Lin actually did not dodge at all.
Liu Zhixue held her head high and puffed out her chest. Her gaze was sharp, as if she was declaring her position in front of Yan Xiaoxi.
"Woman, this is Xue'er." Nangong Lin began introducing the two of them to each other. He did not feel the invisible war between the two of them at all.
Xue'er was calling him so intimately! Yan Xiaoxi pouted in dissatisfaction.
Her mother had told her that only a woman would be so magnanimous as to attract her husband's love. Naturally, those berserk butterflies would break on their own.
However, Yan Xiaoxi believed that if one could endure patiently, it was equivalent to stepping back. It was more likely that others would step in, so she would absolutely not do this.
Yan Xiaoxi also ran over and hugged Nangong Lin's other arm. With a sweet smile, she looked at Liu Zhixue and said, "Big Sister Xue'er has really taken good care of herself. She looks no different from the mama in the Prince's Mansion."
"You!" When those words came out, Liu Zhixue was so angry that she fumed with rage. How could the intelligent Liu Zhixue not know that Yan Xiaoxi had indirectly said that she was old.
"No, no, no. Sister Xue'er's skin is not as rough as the mama's, it's just as soft as Tiger's." Following that, Yan Xiaoxi added.
Hearing this, Liu Zhixue's expression finally recovered a little. Although she felt that Yan Xiaoxi's words were very strange, as her skin could not be described as soft, she could probably tell that this was a compliment.
However, how could she know that the Ah Huang that Yan Xiaoxi was referring to was a dog that she had raised on Dongjing Mountain?
Therefore, Liu Zhixue also praised Yan Xiaoxi generously, "Little Sister Wangfei is so cute, and so sensible."
In front of Nangong Lin, Liu Zhixue naturally wanted to show her gentle and kind attitude.
After that, he glanced at Yan Xiaoxi. Although he did not know what A Huang was, based on his understanding of Yan Xiaoxi, that sentence definitely did not have the same meaning as Liu Zhixue's own understanding.
This woman was such a prankster.
"Xue'er, you're a girl, you have to be careful of everything you do in the future." Nangong Lin said meaningfully.
Liu Zhixue was not stupid. She knew what Nangong Lin meant when she heard him, it was nothing more than a intimate action of his. He felt that it was a little inappropriate.
In the past, he had come into contact with big brother Lin countless times. At that time, big brother Lin had only dotingly stroked her hair without any reproach.
And now, Elder Brother Lin, who had never done anything bad to her before, had actually embarrassed her in front of an outsider. After all, she was different.
She'd once thought that Big Brother Lin had to have some sort of unavoidable difficulties in annulling the marriage, so she'd refused all those who came in advance just to wait for him to change his mind.
But the reality was that not only did he not wait for Brother Lin to change his mind, he even learned that he was going to marry someone else.
Upon hearing this news, she became ill. This illness lasted for a full ten days.
Until today, she couldn't bear the longing she had for Elder Brother Lin so she came to pay him a visit out of courtesy just to catch a glimpse of him.
As for her, there was no way she would've imagined that Elder Brother Lin would treat her in such a manner.
"Big Brother Lin." Liu Zhixue did not feel discouraged and grabbed Nangong Lin's hand, acting like a spoiled child.
Seeing this scene, Yan Xiaoxi felt as if she was about to vomit.
She had never seen such a shameless woman. Little Lin had actually rejected her, yet he still pressed himself against her without hesitation. As she looked at the four taels of flesh on her chest rubbing against Nangong Lin's body, Yan Xiaoxi felt her scalp tingle.
"Sister Xue'er, mother said that a girl who hasn't left the pavilion cannot be too intimate with a man. Her hands will rot." With that, Yan Xiaoxi pushed Liu Zhixue away and stood in the middle, completely separating the two of them.
"It's alright. Big Brother Lin and I have been very close since we were young." Liu Zhi glanced at Yan Xiaoxi, refusing to listen to her advice at all.
Yan Xiaoxi had already expected Liu Zhixue to be like this. When she had met Liu Zhixue earlier, she had sprinkled the medicinal powder on her hands.
It was a colorless, tasteless powder. It was not poisonous, but it was able to make people itch.
"Mother's words are very accurate!" The corners of Yan Xiaoxi's lips curled up as she quietly waited for the upcoming show.
Sure enough, it didn't take long.
Liu Zhixue felt as if only a few thousand feathers were brushing across her entire body, which was extremely itchy and uncomfortable.
In order to maintain her image in front of Nangong Lin, she tried her best to hold it in, but her entire body kept moving.
Beside him, Yan Xiaoxi was laughing to herself.
At this moment, Nangong Lin also noticed Liu Zhixue's surprised action and asked, "Xue'er, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm so itchy." Due to the effects of the medicine, Liu Zhixue used her nails to scratch herself from time to time. She did not even notice that there were quite a lot of nail marks on her face.
"Sister Xue'er, what happened to your face?" Having said so, Yan Xiaoxi intentionally took out the copper mirror and handed it to Liu Zhixue.
Liu Zhixue looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Unbeknownst to her, there were multiple fingernails marks on her devastatingly beautiful face, and the area around them was covered with red patches. She looked extremely terrifying.
"Ah!" Liu Zhixue screamed in fear, covering her face as she ran out of the palace.
Originally, she wanted to bathe and remove the powder from her body, but Liu Zhixue had to endure it. She had allowed the effect of the powder to be extremely effective, and once she came into contact with even a little bit of it, it would cause a red rash that was even more uncontrollable.
Now, he could only use medicine to suppress it.
The fleeing Liu Zhixue instantly disappeared from their sight. Nangong Lin did not even need to think to know that this was definitely a masterpiece of Yan Xiaoxi.
Yan Xiaoxi mischievously stuck out her tongue, and asked, "Does Little Linlin's heart ache for you?"
Nangong Lin did not say anything. He did not know how it felt to see this scene either. He only knew that if the one who did this was not Yan Xiaoxi, then he would definitely not forgive the person who hurt Xue'er.
However, everything seemed to be different when it came to her.
In Yan Xiaoxi's eyes, Nangong Lin's silence was tantamount to an indirect consent.
This caused her mood to change once again. She felt as if her heart was blocked by a small stone. She had difficulty breathing, and the tears in her eyes seemed as if they would burst out in the next second.
Actually, she didn't know whether she cared about the delicacies that Nangong Lin gave her, or his face, or whether it was him alone.
"What nonsense." Nangong Lin's face was expressionless as he solemnly criticized.
