Shengjing Noble

Chapter 628 A bit ridiculous

Huo Jingxiao stood there in a daze. This was the first time he heard a sound from this angle. It was like opening the door to a new world and he felt like he had suddenly been enlightened.

I have to admit that Su Lanyin is very insightful despite her young age.

He looked again at the teenage girl in front of him, with a little more awe in his eyes.

"You...you are really different from the women I have met."

"What's the difference? Do they have three eyes or two noses?" Su Lanyin sneered.

"It's not your appearance, it's your mental state. I think you're sick... but I also think... you're sick like a normal person..."

"That's because my thoughts are not like those of an average woman. They are more like those of a man like your father."

Huo Jingxiao's eyes widened: "Yes! That's the feeling! You are very much like my father. He always talks about power and family, and always tells me not to worry about those boring feelings..."

"I think maybe he's right."

"Really? But I can't do that... Besides, you're not that old, so why are you as mature as him? You're completely different from the women I usually interact with."

"So what are the women you usually come into contact with like?"

"The women I usually meet only care about what to wear or what kind of family they will marry into in the future. They hope to have a relationship and live happily with their husband until old age."

Hearing this, Su Lanyin couldn't help laughing: "Haha..."

Huo Jingxiao was a little angry, frowned and asked: "What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"

"They're not funny, but you're kind of funny."

"How dare you say that I'm ridiculous?"

"Yeah, why do you care what others think? Those women are not wrong in their ideas, and I am not wrong either. This is a personal choice."

"But why can't you be like them..." Huo Jingxiao lowered his head and muttered softly with some disappointment.

"Everyone is different. As long as you think you are right, stick to it. Everyone has their own aspirations. Not everyone has to pursue the same things. The world is not black and white."

Huo Jingxiao seemed to understand Su Lanyin's words.

"Forget it, it's a waste of time to tell you so much. I'm going back to sleep. You'd better be careful and don't get killed by that spy in the middle of the night!"

After saying that, he turned and ran, fearing that Su Lanyin would cause trouble for him.

Looking at the open door, she sighed helplessly, got up and went to close the door, just in time to see Lanxiang standing in the yard with a basin of water.

"... Young Master..."

Su Lanyin noticed the unnatural expression on her face, obviously because she saw Huo Jingxiao leaving her room.

So she asked tentatively: "Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Xianglan poured water on the tree roots and forced a smile: "I just finished washing up and am ready to go to bed."

"Okay, go to bed early."

Seeing that she didn't look guilty when she answered, I knew that she probably didn't eavesdrop.

However, even if she really wanted to eavesdrop, Su Lanyin would probably have noticed her footsteps before she even walked in.

"Good night, young master."

Su Lanyin shut out Xianglan's words. She went straight to the bed and lay under the quilt, looking at the beams above her head and fell into deep thought.

She was wondering what secrets Huo Jingxiao was hiding from her?

Could it be about the Princess of Southern Xinjiang?

Because I lost my memory, I can't remember the rumors I heard before, but I'm not completely without any impression of them.

She only remembered that there was a rumor in Shengjing that after the death of the Princess of Nanjiang, the King of Nanjiang did not marry for many years and raised the prince alone.

Last time at the Southern Xinjiang Palace, she hadn't seen any concubines or mistresses in the palace.

It seems that the King of Southern Xinjiang really loved his deceased wife, and such a powerful prince had only one son, Huo Jingxiao.

Why are people said to be people who only care about power, status and family?

Is there any misunderstanding here?

At least the King of Southern Xinjiang that Su Lanyin saw was not the one described by Huo Jingxiao.

As she thought about it, her eyelids closed heavily and she gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already morning.

As soon as Su Lanyin opened the door, she smelled the fragrance of food coming from the kitchen.

After washing up, I sat at the dining table with everyone else and waited.

Lanxiang brought steamed buns, porridge, and a small plate of vegetables.

"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I got up early in the morning and made meat buns."

Su Lanyin was puzzled: "Did you pack it by yourself?"

Xianglan nodded: "Yes, you guys should try it. I have never used white bread before, so the shape is not very good. When I was a child, my mother taught me to make wild vegetable dumplings. Those were the most delicious."

Song Huaizhi said with concern: "Xianglan, it's just breakfast, you don't have to be so troublesome."

"No trouble! I just need to get up a little earlier. It's no problem."

Su Shengming picked up a bun and said, "It looks good. Let me try it."

He took a bite and it was indeed delicious.

"It tastes good, but it's too much work to knead the dough, make the fillings, and wrap them. I'll just buy ready-made ones on the street next time."

Lanxiang shook her head: "It's okay. I'm happy to be able to do more for you."

"Thank you, Lanxiang. Come sit down and eat together."

Lanxiang felt a little embarrassed, but still sat on the chair nervously.

Seeing this scene, Huo Jingxiao sneered.

"Heh~ It's just making a bun, what's the big deal? You're just a maid, who allowed you to sit at the table? Get out!"

This scared Lanxiang. She stood up with red eyes and said timidly, "Yes."

Then he ran out.

Song Huaizhi frowned: "My Lord, what are you doing? Maids are also human beings!"

After saying that, she put down her chopsticks, stood up and went after Lanxiang. Su Shengming couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

"Why is the prince so aggressive?"

He also followed Song Huaizhi out, leaving only Su Lanyin and Huo Jingxiao in the dining room.

He slammed the table and said, "Why should I treat a spy as a friend?"

Su Lanyin saw everything. Although she didn't stop him, she didn't agree with him in her heart.

So she had no choice but to comfort him: "Why should the prince be angry over a spy? And don't forget, if you drive her away, there might be someone more difficult to deal with."

Huo Jingxiao hesitated, then asked, "What should we do? Are we just going to let her keep watching us? Who knows if there's any poison in this bun?"

Su Lanyin said: "Don't worry, there is no poison in this bun."

"Tsk, how do you know whether it exists or not?" he said disdainfully.

"I can't guarantee anything else, but when it comes to food, I know very well whether it's poisonous or not."

"Why should I trust you? I can't maintain a seemingly peaceful life with a spy. What if she has bad intentions? Isn't this putting our lives at risk?"
