Chapter 92 Jealous Kiss
Ah Er's arrival inevitably made some people happy, but also made some people feel scared.
He clasped his fists towards Xie Lingxiao and said, "Master, I will go to the servant's house according to that address."
"There were only his family members in the house. I sent people to look for him everywhere, but I only found his body."
Lord Zhao stood up suddenly and asked: "Is he dead?"
He has been an official for many years, so how could he not know the twists and turns involved?
From the moment Xie Lingxiao arrived at the court, he found this matter unusual.
It also made him regret even more. He shouldn't have been so foolish just now. He listened to that person because of his status.
The case was punished before it was even heard. This is a big taboo in their judgment. What is the difference between this and bending the law for personal gain?
At this moment, he was somewhat glad that he did not give Yun Qingmo fifty lashes as that man had suggested.
Lord Zhao looked up at Xie Lingxiao. If he really gave the man fifty lashes or beat him to death, his career as an official would be over.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Lord Zhao and taunted him, "Lord Zhao, is this your ability to handle cases? I have to say, you have impressed me once again."
"I wonder if this case is related to Master Yun?"
Lord Zhao raised his hand to wipe away the beads of sweat on his forehead: "Regent, this has nothing to do with Master Yun. I will continue to investigate this case."
Xie Lingxiao glanced at him and ignored him. He ordered Ling Feng, "Send Master Yun back to recuperate. Master Zhao did not investigate the whole story and tortured him in advance. Fine him half a year's salary and give it to Master Yun as an apology."
"Yes." Lord Zhao responded and hurriedly ordered someone to get the silver.
While Lord Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, he was also secretly glad that he had once again kept his official position.
Ling Feng helped Yun Qingmo walk out, but Yun Qingmo kept looking back at Shen Jingxuan.
He felt uneasy when he saw Xie Lingxiao's unfriendly look just now, as if he was afraid that Xie Lingxiao would lose his temper with him.
Shen Jingxuan laughed at his expression and said, "Amo, don't worry, go back. I'll come to see you later."
After hearing Shen Jingxuan say this, Yun Qingmo felt relieved and followed Ling Feng back to Qianyu Chamber of Commerce.
However, Xie Lingxiao brought Shen Jingxuan to the Regent's Palace again.
In the study of the Prince Regent's Palace, Xie Lingxiao had someone bring in freshly brewed tea and snacks.
Two people sat opposite each other, and no one spoke. For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the room, and time seemed to stand still.
I don't know how long it took, but Shen Jingxuan's voice broke the silence: "Thank you."
Xie Lingxiao frowned and looked at her: "Don't you hate me anymore?"
"Yeah," Shen Jingxuan responded.
In the carriage, she was inconsiderate and was on the verge of a breakdown because she was too worried about Amo.
Yun Qingmo treated her very well, which was something she had never experienced in her past or present life. She only wished him a smooth life.
If possible, Shen Jingxuan would like Yun Qingmo to live the life he likes forever without suffering any hardship.
Even if something happens, she hopes that she can always stand in front of him, protect him from the wind and rain, and clear the obstacles for him.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Xie Lingxiao interrupted her deliberately: "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Jingxuan took back the words that were on the tip of her tongue and said, "I'm wondering who put the things in Qianyu Chamber of Commerce and had someone capture Amo."
Hearing Shen Jingxuan calling another man's name so intimately, Xie Lingxiao felt uncomfortable.
His calm voice said, "You'll know when Ling Feng comes back."
"Are you familiar with Young Master Yun?" Xie Lingxiao finally asked what was in his mind.
Shen Jingxuan didn't want to talk about Ah Mo with others. Thinking of Xie Lingxiao's help just now, she slowly said: "Ah Mo? Maybe we shouldn't say whether we are familiar or not. We get along very well."
"I feel more relaxed when I am with him. There is no open fighting or intrigue."
"We have similar ideas. Often, we don't need to say too much. Just a glance is enough to understand each other's thoughts."
Xie Lingxiao suddenly felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have asked the question just now.
He actually let the woman he liked praise another man in front of him. How cruel it was to him.
He stood up suddenly: "That's enough."
Shen Jingxuan looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he was mad. Wasn't he the one who asked the question?
Xie Lingxiao raised his hand to cover his mouth, "Ahem..."
He eased his discomfort by saying, "First, drink some tea, then have some snacks."
"Okay, Regent, when will Guard Lingfeng come back?" Shen Jingxuan reached out to take the pastry, brought it to her mouth and took a bite.
Xie Lingxiao's body, which had just been sitting down, bounced up again. He frowned and asked loudly, "What did you call me?"
After being yelled at by him, Shen Jingxuan spat out the contents of her mouth.
She looked at Xie Lingxiao in disbelief, not understanding why he suddenly got angry.
"What did you call me just now?" Xie Lingxiao asked again.
Shen Jingxuan looked at him and answered stutteringly: "Regent... Regent King"
Xie Lingxiao was sure that he had not heard wrong, but he could not suppress his anger.
When she called that man, she called him Amo affectionately, but when it came to him, she called him a stinky man at first, then called him by his name, and now she doesn't even want to call him by his name?
The more Xie Lingxiao thought about it, the angrier he became. Gradually his eyes turned red. He seemed to have lost his mind, pulled Shen Jingxuan up, bent down and kissed her.
Shen Jingxuan's body was restrained, and the words she wanted to say were instantly drowned out by the affectionate kiss.
The slightly cold tongue slid into her mouth, greedily grabbing her breath, and exploring every corner vigorously.
The throbbing of this moment made each other forget everything around them.
After a while, there was a knock on the study door, and the knocking sound woke up the two people who were trapped inside.
Shen Jingxuan pushed away the person who was kissing her and turned sideways to adjust her clothes.
She frowned slightly, not understanding what was wrong with Xie Lingxiao and why he suddenly got angry and kissed her.
But Shen Jingxuan, who was reminded by her crazy heartbeat, did not feel disgusted, and even...
Shen Jingxuan was shocked by her thoughts. She pursed her lips slightly and tried hard to suppress the throbbing in her heart.
Xie Lingxiao was pushed back a few steps. When he stood still, there was no trace of the anger he had just shown. All that was left was a violently beating heart and a blush behind his ears.
He secretly glanced at Shen Jingxuan and saw that she had tidied herself up. Xie Lingxiao pretended to be calm and called Ling Feng in.
Ling Feng noticed that something was wrong with the two of them. He looked at them suspiciously and said, "Master, I have found some clues, but they still need to be confirmed."
"Go on." Xie Lingxiao said.
"I just checked and found out that Concubine Shen and Miss Lu appeared in a nearby teahouse a few days ago. The waiter in the teahouse said that he just heard the two of them talking about the Qianyu Chamber of Commerce."
"I am afraid you will be anxious, so I will come back to report first and continue to verify later."
Shen Jingxuan laughed and said, "No need to verify. It can't be anyone else except them. I'll do the rest myself."
She didn't expect that even if she didn't cause trouble for them, they would take the initiative to provoke her.
I just don't know if they are ready to bear the consequences?
