The woman smiled nonchalantly: "What's the point? Although it was regrettable at the time, it's all over now, and aren't you back too?"

"Well, after several years of separation, Sister Meng still hasn't changed." Qingnuo chuckled. He was obviously a shrewd businessman with a smell of copper, but now he was as elegant as a young man on the road.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the incident that showed their feelings back then. Qingnuo was glad that Lin Yunmeng acquiesced in continuing to treat him as a friend, but he was also disappointed that she only regarded herself as a friend.

"Sister Meng, you are getting married... Do you like Prince Qing?" Thinking of the hot topics in the capital recently, Qingnuo twitched his lips, hiding the far-fetched perfectly.

What he said about temperament was nonsense. Xu Qingke's blushing face after she expressed her intention to marry could prove Lin Yunmeng's thoughts, but Qingnuo was stubborn and wanted to hear her admit it herself.

This was an almost masochistic injury, but Qingnuo could only do this to keep himself awake.

Lin Yunmeng raised her eyes, her dark eyes caught the light of the stars. She nodded decisively: "I like it."

Qing Nuo paused for a moment, then put on a forced smile, and then returned to his usual light smile: "But the two of them are fighting, and I don't know who will win. But Sister Meng, don't worry, no one can dominate you, I will protect you." Good on you."

"After all, we are friends."

After deliberately adding the last sentence, Qingnuo played with the Pisces jade pendant on her waist, her slightly lowered eyes avoided Lin Yunmeng's sight, and the pain in her eyes was like a helpless cub that had lost its beloved thing, roaring and hissing, and finally Nothing can be done.

"Well, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early." Lin Yunmeng nodded, leaving without a trace of nostalgia.

Lin Yunmeng couldn't feel the hot eyes behind her, but she could only leave without looking back, because she couldn't give Qingnuo a glimmer of hope, she just hoped that he would give up soon and meet the right person.

She waved to the shopkeeper, pointed to the designated rooms, and placed a handful of gold ingots on the table: "Tell someone to take care of them, and don't ask anyone to disturb them."

"Hey, okay, okay! Sir, please go slowly."

In fact, Lin Yunmeng could show her identity token to give orders, but Lin Yunmeng was on the safe side. Except for the dozen or so core disciples of Meng Prison Pavilion who knew her identity, the rest only knew that the one wearing the ghost mask was the pavilion master. There is a mysterious nightmare assisting the Pavilion Master.

After coming out of Qingmen, a woman with a delicate face and a strand of snow-white hair walked out and entered through the back door of Xiao Mansion in a carriage.

In the small courtyard next to the small pond in Xiao Mansion, there was a beautiful little maid leaning on the shore and feeding the fish. The sound of the wheels creaking and turning attracted attention. The little maid looked around curiously, wanting to see who was in the carriage.

When the valiant and heroic woman in a smart outfit entered the study, the little maid paused and quickly lowered her head. The study was the most important place in the Xiao Mansion and no one could approach it unless the owner of the family gave permission.

"You're here." Xiao Yubei was sitting at the table playing chess with Xiao Ruyu.

Xiao Ruyu raised his head and looked at Lin Yunmeng with doubts in his eyes. Although he had never seen her before, he felt inexplicably familiar.

"Sir." Lin Yunmeng slightly cupped her hands and stepped forward to look at the chessboard where the fighting was fierce.

"Sit down and wait until the situation is settled before we discuss the matter."

With this order, a servant came forward to lead Lin Yunmeng to her seat and presented her with fragrant tea and fruits.

By the time this round was over, it was already sunset. Lin Yunmeng was leisurely flipping through the books on the bookshelf. Most of the profound books were about military art and strategy. Coincidentally, Lin Yunmeng had read almost all of them, and some of them were still in her previous life.

There are memories, some of which are accumulated over time after rebirth.

"I've been waiting for a long time. Ruyu, let me introduce you. This is a nightmare."

Xiao Ruyu was stunned for a moment. Wasn't it this nightmare that kidnapped him last time and wanted to cooperate with him?

"Hello, Mr. Xiao." Lin Yunmeng stroked a strand of white hair that was long and hanging down from her ears. Her outfit was extremely weird and mysterious.

Her eyes were like swords, sharp and cold, and they met each other. Xiao Ruyu slightly cupped his hands, closed his eyes and suppressed the shock in his heart. He didn't expect that this person actually went into battle in person and sneaked into Xiao Yubei's side... Did she not want her life? Xiao Yu

Bei is so suspicious.

What he didn't know was that if Lin Yunmeng dared to go deep into the tiger's den, she would be sure of it. Although Xiao Yubei was suspicious and keen, he was also headstrong in some aspects.

Xiao Yubei noticed something and opened the door after introduction.

"I will compete with Xu Qingke in the near future. I will naturally win. But in order to reduce unnecessary accidents and nightmares, I need you to think of a way for me so that Xu Qingke has no chance of winning.

Chance!"

He had an upright look, but the ugliness revealed in it was shameful. Xiao Ruyu couldn't help but frown slightly. Xiao Yubei stared at Lin Yunmeng carefully, as if he wanted to see something from her expressionless face.

"Death, or disability." Lin Yunmeng's ruthless reply made Xiao Yubei's eyes flash with satisfaction.

"It's too easy to be exposed. Xu Qingke's body has always been weak and useless, and the weather in early spring is extremely cold. I tried to find a way to make him sick." Xiao Yubei rested his palms on the handle of the chair, and his cold expression made it impossible to see through him.

What are you thinking about.

Upon hearing this shameless plan, Lin Yunmeng suppressed the anger rising in her heart and nodded respectfully: "Yes."

"Okay, it's getting late, and I need to rest."

Xiao Ruyu immediately resigned, and Lin Yunmeng followed. Before leaving, she seemed to ask casually: "Sir, why do you insist on marrying this ungrateful eldest lady of the Lin family? There are still two girls waiting to be married in the general's mansion..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Yubei opened his closed eyes fiercely, full of murderous intent like a beast staring at its prey: "Who allows you to talk about Meng'er like this? I only marry Meng'er, so,

I can only win no matter what."

Lin Yunmeng looked slightly puzzled. Did she really treat her like a bodyguard?

"The nightmare is beyond my reach, please forgive me."

"no next time."

"yes."

After Lin Yunmeng left, the tall and straight man in the study slowly walked to the desk and opened the exquisite brocade box. Inside the brocade box lay quietly the brocade bag with rough edges, and the small embroidered little brocade bag on it.

The delicate "North" character seems to reflect the seriousness and sincerity of its owner.

If Lin Yunmeng saw it, I guess she would only laugh a few times, but Mi'er didn't know that when she embroidered this brocade bag, she didn't know that it was for Xiao Yubei, she just thought that her young lady wanted it.

Xiao Yubei went to all the trouble to call her over just for this matter. Lin Yunmeng saw clearly that Xiao Yubei didn't completely trust her, so he left this matter to her, which was a side view of her ability.
