Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 137

[Chapter 137 Confession to Lingyin]

Lin Xiu slept for only one hour the whole night yesterday.

He got up early in the morning and ate buns and porridge at the pretty widow’s place. On the way back, he brought a portion for A Ke.

He was walking on the street and heard passers-by discussing something.

“Have you heard that the old Duke Xue broke through the Heavenly Rank yesterday?”

“Of course, I was awake at that time too. The old Duke Xue just broke through and went to trouble the Song family. He has a really hot temper!”

“That’s right, who made the Song family so arrogant in the beginning? They are both wealthy families. The Xue family was bullied some time ago. Who can tolerate this?”

“Last night, he and the guy from the Song family had a fight outside the city. I just went to see it. My goodness, several hilltops were burned down, and two mountain streams disappeared directly. Is this the strength of a Heavenly Rank expert?”

“I don’t know who won.”

“I think it was the guy from the Song family. He entered the Heavenly Rank earlier.”

“I think it was the old Duke Xue. His ability is even more violent and ferocious…”

…

Lin Xiu only found out today that the one who broke through the Heavenly Rank yesterday was actually Xue Ning’er’s grandfather.

He heard from Xue Ning’er that Old Duke Xue had been in seclusion for several months. He didn’t expect that he had really broken through the bottleneck. In this way, the top power in the capital has increased.

Below the Heavenly Rank, everyone is an ant. Although there are many powerful people in the capital, there are only a few who are truly at the top.

In the royal lineage, there is a first-class duke and three second-class duke families. There are strong people in the Heavenly Rank, and now there is one more.

Lin Xiu didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.

Old Duke Xue is Xue Ning’er’s grandfather, and Lin Xiu should be happy for him.

But from today on, the status of the Xue Mansion in the capital is higher, and the resistance for him and Xue Ning’er to be together is also greater.

The daughter of the Xue Mansion will never marry him as a concubine, and the position of the main wife is firmly occupied by Zhao Lingjun. As long as he doesn’t divorce Zhao Lingjun, he can’t give other women a name.

At this time, Lin Xiu envied the dog emperor a little.

If he were the emperor, this problem would naturally not exist.

There is no doubt that Zhao Lingjun is the queen, but he can make Ning’er a noble concubine, Caiyi a concubine, and then there are nine concubines, noble ladies, and beauties. He can give them to anyone he wants.

This is really the ultimate dream of people like him.

When he returned home, A Ke hadn’t woken up yet.

Her physique was not as good as Lin Xiu’s. She practiced with Lin Xiu all night last night, so she probably slept a little longer than him.

Lin Xiu put breakfast in the pot to heat it up, and went to the yard to continue practicing. After a while, Xue Ning’er ran in from outside.

While running, she looked back, as if she was worried that someone was following her.

Lin Xiu put away his spear and said with a smile: “Congratulations Ning’er, Old Duke Xue has been promoted to the Heavenly Rank.”

Xue Ning’er ran to him, took his arm, and said happily: “You also know it…”

Lin Xiu stroked her hair and said: “Of course, there was such a big commotion last night, and the people are talking about it today.”

Xue Ning’er pouted and said: “Grandpa is really something, at such an old age, he still learns to fight…”

Lin Xiu just smiled and said nothing.

Old Duke Xue has a hot temper, but this battle is probably also for the purpose of establishing his authority and avenging his shame.

Only in this way can the face that the Xue family once lost be regained again.

In the future, no one in the royal capital will dare to despise the Xue family.

At this time, Xue Ning’er said worriedly again: “This morning, many people came to visit grandpa at home, and I had to help entertain them. I sneaked out to see you when they were not paying attention. I have to go back after staying with you for a while…”

After a while, Lin Xiu sat on the stone chair in the yard. Xue Ning’er sat in his arms, hugged his neck, and said worriedly: “What should I do? It is difficult for my family to agree to our relationship. Now that grandpa has been promoted and His Majesty has promoted his title to a higher level, he will be even less likely to agree to our relationship. If he finds out, I can’t even come to see you…”

She was worried about this. Lin Xiu gently scratched her nose and said, “If love lasts for a long time, it doesn’t matter if we are together day and night. I promise you that sooner or later, I will be with you openly.”

Xue Ning’er leaned on his chest and said with a smile, “I believe you…”

She ran out secretly, and Lin Xiu couldn’t be intimate with her for a long time. Not long after, she went back reluctantly.

Chen Ke walked out of the room, leaned against the door, and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so good at deceiving women.”

Lin Xiu retorted, “How can it be called deceiving when two people are in love?”

Chen Ke asked, “What about the actor in Lihuayuan? How do you explain it?”

Lin Xiu said, “I am sincere to Ning’er and Caiyi, is it not okay?”

Chen Ke glanced at him and said, “All men say so.”

Lin Xiu said, “For men, don’t look at what they say, look at what they do.”

Chen Ke didn’t say anything else, frowned and sniffed, then walked into the kitchen, and when he came out, he had a bun in his mouth.

As for Lin Xiu, she could actually understand.

Everyone in the world wants to marry Zhao Lingjun. Although Lin Xiu married her, it would be better not to marry her.

The beautiful girl just now looked at him with love in her eyes, and even she could see that with such a girl around, why should he marry a woman who doesn’t like him.

Lin Xiu watched her finish her buns and asked, “What do you have to do today?”

Chen Ke wiped his hands and said, “Go kill someone.”

“…”

As expected of an assassin, he said this without blinking an eye.

Lin Xiu asked again, “Who to kill?”

Chen Ke said, “A bully who bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil, but the government allows him to do evil. I will kill him and get rid of the harm for the people.” Lin Xiu

looked at her and said, “Girls, when you encounter something, don’t always think about fighting and killing. So, I’ll go out to do something and come back soon. You wait for me at home and I’ll help you check it out first.” One

thing Lin Xiu has to do every morning is to practice with Princess Minghe, no matter how windy or rainy it is.

When they practiced together today, Princess Minghe also talked to him about the promotion of Old Duke Xue to the Heavenly Rank. Old Duke Xue’s ability is the same as hers, and with her talent, it is almost inevitable that she will be promoted to the Heavenly Rank in the future.

Moreover, through practicing with Lin Xiu, her practice speed is twice as fast as before, and it will take her longer to reach this realm. It is very likely that she will go one step further and awaken her ability for the eighth time to reach the upper realm of the Heavenly Rank.

Of course, at that time, she had already become an old princess from a little princess.

Similarly, Lingyin’s practice speed has also doubled, so in this way, their talents are actually only a little weaker than Zhao Lingjun.

In terms of practice speed alone, Lin Xiu has surpassed Zhao Lingjun, but he is too far behind and it will take a long time to catch up.

After the practice, when he walked out of the Yishu Academy, Zhao Lingyin asked, “Where have you lived these days?” Lin Xiu said

, “I stayed in an inn for a day, and then asked His Majesty for a house.”

Zhao Lingyin’s face was complicated.

It was a kind of sadness and desolation to stay alone in an empty room on the first day of the wedding and live in an inn on the second day.

She couldn’t change her sister’s decision, and she didn’t know how to comfort Lin Xiu. The Zhao family owed him too much. During this period, she had been feeling guilty and self-blaming for this matter.

Lin Xiu originally wanted to go home to help A Ke investigate the case.

But he felt that Lingyin was in a very low mood.

She had been depressed for several days.

From the look in her eyes, Lin Xiu understood the reason for her depression.

Sure enough, the Zhao family cared about her the most.

She was distressed about Lin Xiu, and Lin Xiu was also distressed about her.

It was not her fault, but she blamed herself for all the mistakes.

This is Lingyin, a sensible and distressed Lingyin.

Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingyin and said, “It’s nothing, it’s my own decision to live outside. The main reason is that I’m not very familiar with your sister. If we live together, we’ll see each other every day, and both of us will feel uncomfortable.”

Zhao Lingyin didn’t say anything, she knew that this was an excuse Lin Xiu made up to comfort her.

He has his own dignity and won’t live with his sister. When

Lin Xiu saw her expression, she knew that she had thought of something wrong again.

He was really happy living outside…

Lingyin couldn’t imagine his happiness at all.

He was affectionate with Ning’er in the morning, affectionate with Caiyi in the afternoon, and practicing with A Ke all night at night. He was immersed in the land of tenderness all day long and almost forgot who Zhao Lingjun was. Why did he need her pity?

Lin Xiu coughed lightly and said to Zhao Lingyin: “Lingyin, things are really not what you think… I have been living a good life these days. I have talked to your sister. Although we are married, I will not interfere with her life in the future, and she will not interfere with my life. For me, this is a good thing, don’t you think so?”

Zhao Lingyin was stunned for a moment and asked: “Why is this a good thing?”

Lin Xiu said: “This means that I can be with other women. Isn’t this a good thing?”

Zhao Lingyin was stunned for a moment, and then said: “How can you…”

Halfway through the words, she was stunned again.

Yes, it was her sister who treated Lin Xiu like that first. She did not fulfill her duties as a wife. Why can’t he find another woman? Is he

going to sacrifice his lifelong happiness for his sister’s mistake?

What right does she have to be angry?

At this moment, many figures flashed through her mind.

The actor in Lihuayuan, the female doctor in the Imperial Hospital, and Xue Ning’er… Xue Ning’er has always had bad intentions towards Lin Xiu. She must be happy now, right?

Although she knew that she had no right to be angry, she still felt very bitter in her heart and said, “Sister, sister, she may change in the future…”

Lin Xiu rolled her eyes at her and said, “Why should I wait for her to change?”

Zhao Lingyin asked, “Is there any other way?”

Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingyin and said, “How about this? Anyway, when we made the engagement, it didn’t say who would marry whom. As long as she was the daughter of the Zhao family, it would be fine. Otherwise, I would discuss with my father-in-law and mother-in-law, divorce your sister, and marry you…”

Zhao Lingyin was stunned in place, and then she said angrily, “What are you talking about!”

Lin Xiu looked into her eyes and said seriously, “In fact, I have always liked you…”

Before she finished speaking, Lin Xiu felt dizzy and was thrown to the ground by Zhao Lingyin.

Zhao Lingyin crossed her arms, looked at him coldly, and said, “You are looking for death. You even dare to make fun of me. I will never care about your affairs again!”

After that, she simply turned around and left, as if she had regained her cool look before.

Lin Xiu lay on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. This was the feeling. The old Lingyin was back.

He would rather face such a violent Lingyin than have her always be so depressed.

A slender white hand reached out from the side. Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, then held Qin Wan’s hand, and with a little help, he got up from the ground.

Qin Wan looked at him and said meaningfully: “I like the younger sister, but I married the older sister. It’s really fate.”

Lin Xiu patted the dirt on his butt and said, “Do you believe it if it’s a joke?”

Qin Wan glanced at him lightly and said, “How many true words in this world are said in a joking way?”

The smile on Lin Xiu’s face disappeared. He

took this woman in with good intentions, but she always stabbed his heart mercilessly.

He stretched out his hand to Qin Wan and said, “Miss Wan’er borrowed money from me last time. It’s time to pay it back now…”
