Facing Lin Jiangnian's straightforward questioning, Zhiyuan looked up at him and then continued to land on the two sisters on the ground.
Remain silent.
Jiang Yuxiang, who was standing by, also turned to look at Zhiyuan. The life stories of these two little maids were indeed pitiful, and it was indeed inappropriate to send them back. But if they wanted to stay...
This really depends on Zhiyuan's opinion.
"Kite, what do you think?"
Jiang Yuxiang asked softly, "Should we keep them, send them back, or..."
Having said this, Jiang Yuxiang paused.
There is a third way, which is not to send them back, nor to keep them, but to give them freedom and let them leave.
However, as soon as this idea came to mind, it was dismissed by Jiang Yuxiang.
The sisters were helpless. Even if they were freed, they would have nowhere to go. Furthermore, with their beauty, they would most likely be targeted.
They have no ability to protect themselves, and letting them leave will only harm them.
Zhiyuan looked at the sisters quietly, seeming a little hesitant.
He remained silent and didn't speak.
"Princess, please don't send my sister and I back..."
Just as the room fell into a brief silence, Jasmine pulled her sister aside and knelt down in front of Zhiyuan with a plop.
This woman named Jasmine is the older sister of the twins. She knows very well that whether she and her sister can stay depends on this woman with a cool and beautiful temperament.
Even the Prince of Lin and his aunt have to ask for her opinion. Her status here must be very high.
She is young, beautiful and has such a great temperament... If nothing unexpected happens, she must be Princess Lin!
As long as Princess Lin is willing to keep them, she and her sister will be saved!
"As long as the Crown Princess doesn't send my sister and me back, we are willing to do anything. My sister and I can do anything. We are very obedient and don't eat much... Please..."
“…”
The call of "Crown Princess" obviously stunned Zhiyuan.
Her expression paused noticeably as she looked at the man kneeling in front of her, prone, with a hint of fear and a trembling that could not be suppressed on his delicate face.
delicate and charming!
Zhiyuan remained silent, raised her head slightly, and met Lin Jiangnian's gaze in front of her.
At this moment, Lin Jiangnian was also a little surprised.
She didn't expect that this girl named Jasmine was quite smart and knew to ask for help from Zhiyuan.
The call of "Crown Princess" obviously caught Zhiyuan off guard. There was a hint of panic and confusion in her clear eyes.
He glanced at the little maid named Jasmine… The little girl has a bright future!
As expected, after a brief silence, Zhiyuan suddenly stood up. She glanced at the two people on the ground and said coldly, "Follow me."
After saying that, Zhiyuan walked towards the door.
When she walked to Lin Jiangnian's side, she saw that Lin Jiangnian's slightly smiling eyes were still on her. She put on a stern face, completely ignored him, and walked out of the room indifferently.
At the same time, the twin sisters in the room were still kneeling on the ground, not reacting.
"What are you still standing there for?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at the two of them and said, "Why don't you go now?"
Jasmine was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized... This, this means they are staying here?
No, not sending them back?!
At this moment, Jasmine and her sister Fengling beside her both showed surprised smiles on their faces, and they both knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Crown Princess, for your great kindness. My sister and I will never forget it..."
Jasmine's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy.
"Okay, get up quickly."
At this time, Xiao Zhu came up quietly.
She smiled as she looked at the two pitiful little maids in front of her, and she understood.
Sister Zhiyuan, I will definitely keep them.
For no other reason than that the two people in front of her had almost the same background as her.
Back then, it was Sister Zhiyuan who took pity on Xiaozhu and brought her back to the Lin Palace. Now, the sisters faced an even more tragic fate. Xiaozhu knew Sister Zhiyuan wouldn't sit idly by.
Therefore, Xiaozhu knew what was going on.
"Sister Zhiyuan is waiting for you!"
Xiao Zhu said with a smile: "Come with me."
The two sisters then stood up carefully, nodded and bowed repeatedly, and followed Xiaozhu.
"Your Highness, shall I take them there first?" Xiao Zhu winked at Lin Jiangnian.
"Go ahead."
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and looked outside the door, but Zhiyuan was gone.
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but a smile appeared on Lin Jiangnian’s face.
You know what, Zhiyuan’s reaction just now was... quite interesting.
"Laughing so happily?"
At this moment, Jiang Yuxiang's voice came from the side: "Are you happy?"
"Um?"
Lin Jiangnian came back to his senses and saw his aunt looking at him meaningfully.
"Auntie, should I congratulate you on having twins? There are not many beautiful sisters like them in Beijing. You are lucky to have them!" Jiang Yuxiang looked at him with a smile.
Lin Jiangnian shook his head gently: "Aunt, you misunderstood, I'm not that kind of person."
"Then what kind of person are you?" Jiang Yuxiang asked.
Who is he?
This is hard to explain.
"You were laughing so happily just now, weren't you thinking about..."
Jiang Yuxiang narrowed her eyes slightly, saying meaningfully, "When did you let them warm your bed and sleep with you?"
Lin Jiangnian: “…”
"Auntie, I'm really not that kind of person!"
Seeing that Jiang Yuxiang was still staring at him, Lin Jiang explained in a young voice: "Zhiyuan agreed to keep them, but she didn't plan to let them sleep with me..."
"They were sent by Gao Boyan. Their identities and origins are unknown. I naturally can't keep them around."
The reason why he agreed to keep the twin sisters was simply because he felt sorry for their identities.
But staying is one thing, and Lin Jiangnian can't keep them by his side. Although the life stories of these two people sound tragic, it is unclear whether they are true or not.
Just in case, we have to investigate thoroughly.
When Zhiyuan got up and took them away just now, it meant that he planned to keep them. The next step was to find out their identities and retrain them.
Zhiyuan was in charge of these affairs in the Prince Lin's Mansion before, and she was the most suitable person to train the two new maids.
Jiang Yuxiang seemed a little surprised when she heard Lin Jiangnian's words: "You really don't plan to let them sleep with you?"
"Aren't you moved?"
"Not excited!" Lin Jiangnian shook his head.
"Why?"
"fear death!"
“…”
Jiang Yuxiang was startled, a meaningful smile appeared on her face. But then the smile gradually disappeared and became more solemn.
"Since you already know what's going on, I won't say any more. They can indeed stay, but we can't be completely unprepared... Mr. Gao might have sent them here for some other purpose, so you need to be careful!"
Jiang Yuxiang felt much more relieved when she was sure that Lin Jiangnian would not be dazzled by the beauty in front of him.
She knew that her sister's child was clear-headed and rational, but she was still a little worried that he would be seduced by beauty and indulge in the pleasures of the world.
From ancient times to the present, countless smart people have fallen into this trap.
Jiang Nian was indeed smart and capable, but he was too young. Young people are hot-tempered and inevitably susceptible to temptation. Especially when it comes to a pair of twin girls, who are stunningly beautiful and well-behaved, any man would be tempted.
Jiang Yuxiang couldn't help but feel a little worried, but fortunately, Jiang Nian didn't let her down.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Lin Jiangnian prepared to leave.
Jiang Yuxiang glared slightly: "What? Are you in such a hurry to leave? Don't you want to spend more time with your aunt?"
Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian quickly shook his head: "No, it's not true. Aren't you afraid of disturbing my aunt?"
"...Auntie, is there anything else?"
"have!"
Jiang Yuxiang snorted coldly and said expressionlessly.
"Auntie, please speak?"
Jiang Yuxiang stared at Lin Jiangnian, who was standing in the middle of the hall in front of her, and said unhappily, "Come here!"
Lin Jiangnian was confused and walked forward slowly: "Aunt, what's the matter?"
"sit down!"
Jiang Yuxiang pointed to the place beside her and glanced at him.
Seeing his aunt's actions, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Auntie...what does this mean?
"Aunt, if you have anything else to say, why don't you just say it directly?" Lin Jiangnian asked tentatively.
Jiang Yuxiang stared at him with her beautiful eyes and sneered, "What? Now you don't even listen to your aunt?"
"no……"
"Come and sit down!"
“…”
Lin Jiangnian sighed secretly and sat down next to his aunt.
"Aunt, what's wrong?"
Lin Jiang asked in a low voice, but he didn't get a response from his aunt. He looked up and noticed that Jiang Yuxiang was staring at him without saying a word.
That burning gaze seemed to see through him.
Such a close distance made Lin Jiangnian a little uncomfortable for a while!
Very close!
Lin Jiangnian looked quietly at the woman in front of him. She had an exquisite and beautiful appearance, an elegant temperament, and had shed her youthful temperament to reveal a somewhat mature appearance.
This was the first time he looked so clearly at his nominal aunt!
Before this, Lin Jiangnian hadn't had much of an impression of his aunt. It wasn't until they met for the first time after arriving in Beijing that he finally met. His most profound impression was the scene at the Lu family wedding when Lin Jiangnian was falsely accused and his aunt stood up to defend him.
Then, it was probably the two misunderstandings not long ago...
The first time was in Zhiyuan’s room, and I accidentally took the wrong baby.
The second time, still in Zhiyuan's room...
He accidentally touched the wrong thing!
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's gaze subconsciously moved downwards to the bulging area that was tightly wrapped in a round silk shirt.
Very amazing!
It was trembling and almost about to burst out.
After taking a quick glance, Lin Jiangnian came to his senses and quickly looked away.
What a sin!
How could he have such an idea?!
How can...
But the more I do this, the more I want to get rid of these memories from my mind, but the clearer these familiar memories become!
The memory of that fleeting glimpse that night slowly flooded back. A familiar scene, a familiar place, a skilled hand reaching out...
In a trance, Lin Jiangnian even remembered the feeling at that time...
...This damn memory!
Your memory is so good!
Lin Jiangnian's breathing became a little disordered. He quickly shifted his gaze to the door. "Aunt, is there anything else you need?"
"What? You don't dare look at me?"
Jiang Yuxiang's annoyed voice came from my ears: "Did you do something wrong?"
"No."
"Then why are you avoiding my gaze?"
Jiangyu Xiang dialect temperament questioning.
Lin Jiangnian sighed inwardly, then looked back at Jiang Yuxiang, staring at the mature and beautiful face of the woman in front of him, and sighed softly: "Aunt, is there anything you can't say directly? Why do you have to keep me in suspense?"
"Oh!"
Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "Didn't I learn this from you?"
"When did I ever keep my aunt in suspense?"
"That's called keeping secrets. You're not telling me anything and hiding it from me...right?"
Lin Jiangnian: “…”
Why are you mentioning this again?
Just as she was about to explain, she saw Jiang Yuxiang's eyes gradually become darker: "I know, you have never regarded me as your aunt, nor have you taken me seriously, right?"
"Absolutely not!"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head.
"You don't have to quibble!"
Jiang Yuxiang looked at Lin Jiangnian silently with a dim gaze: "I know you can't accept me as your aunt for the time being."
"You can't even accept your own identity."
Jiang Yuxiang sighed: "You probably never thought that you would really be the Prince of Lin, right?"
After hearing what his aunt said, Lin Jiangnian suddenly fell silent.
"Aunt, you..."
"So, you're unwilling to tell your aunt, and even more unwilling to confess the truth..."
Jiang Yuxiang's eyes were filled with resentment. "If it weren't for the kite, you would have been planning to keep all of us in the dark, right?"
Lin Jiangnian gave a bitter laugh: "Aunt, I have no choice but to do this. I have my reasons."
Things are unpredictable. Lin Jiangnian did not anticipate this at all, so he has misunderstood it until now.
"So, what's going on?"
Jiang Yuxiang looked up at Lin Jiangnian and said quietly, "What have you been through in these years? Why did you end up in Prince Lin's Mansion? Can you tell me about it?"
Lin Jiangnian asked, "Didn't Zhiyuan tell you?"
Jiang Yuxiang glared slightly: "Why? You're willing to tell Zhiyuan, but not your aunt?"
"No."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head. After he told Zhiyuan his origins and identity, he knew that Zhiyuan would definitely tell his aunt.
He just didn't expect that his aunt would suddenly mention it to him now.
However, it was expected after all. When his aunt asked about it, Lin Jiangnian told her everything that had happened again.
After Jiang Yuxiang finished listening, she frowned deeply.
She heard Zhiyuan say it once, but after listening to Lin Jiangnian repeat it in detail, she also discovered some clues.
Many unsolved mysteries, and...some unique sense of smell!
"The woman in red you mentioned... the Saint of the Celestial God Cult? Where is she now?"
Jiang Yuxiang suddenly asked.
Lin Jiangnian hesitated, but was quickly noticed by Jiang Yuxiang: "What?"
Lin Jiangnian said, "She is in the capital now."
"The capital?"
Jiang Yuxiang narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, as if she realized something. She looked up and down at Lin Jiangnian for a long time and suddenly spoke.
"Tell me the truth... your relationship with this Saint of the Celestial God Cult must be quite special, right?"
“…”
