Chapter 289: Treat others with their own medicine.

Not to mention that Xiao Jin had just finished his meal, even if he was hungry, he would not accept this inexplicable snack. Moreover, he went to Su He Ji to buy snacks to give to his junior sister, not because he liked to eat them himself.

Although the girl in front of him tried her best to hide it, he was aware of the vague hostility in her.

Xiao Jin just thought that this person was mentally ill, and said coldly, "No need, men and women should not touch each other."

Seeing that Xie Lan had already boarded the carriage in such a short time, Xiao Jin quickly walked around the girl in front of him, took an exquisite brocade box from Yang Feng, walked quickly to the carriage, and without saying a word, stuffed the jade pendant in the box into Xie Lan's hand.

At this moment, Hu Yuexi, who was standing not far away, saw the whole scene. Seeing Xiao Jin tenderly handing the jade pendant to Xie Lan, the anger in her eyes almost burst into flames.

She gave him the snacks she bought herself with good intentions, expecting a warm response, but all she got was a disgusted "Men and women shouldn't touch each other."

Hu Yuexi was filled with resentment. Why had she admired Brother Xiao for so many years, but could not even get a straight look from him? And this "fox spirit" who appeared out of nowhere could easily get the jade pendant he gave her!

Xie Lan could tell at a glance that the jade pendant in her hand contained rich spiritual energy. She didn't want to take it, but as soon as her fingertips touched the jade pendant, the spiritual energy on it was quickly absorbed.

At this point, it was meaningless to refuse. Xie Lan could only smile and nod at Xiao Jin helplessly, "Thank you."

Xie Lan never wanted to take advantage of others, so she made up her mind to go to the jade shop and have a look. If she came across any jade of good quality, she would buy it and pick a few pieces to give back to Lord Xiao.

Xiao Jin didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her accept the jade pendant, he was satisfied. He stepped aside and said with a smile, "I still have official business in the Ministry of Justice, so I won't see you off. Go back and have a good rest. If you encounter any problems, remember to send someone to send me a letter."

Xie Lan has always been independent and has long developed the habit of solving problems on her own. Although she had no intention of bothering Xiao Jin, she was too lazy to explain too much and just nodded casually and said, "Okay, take care."

Hu Yuexi watched Xie Lan accept the jade pendant. Jealousy and anger surged wildly in her chest. She almost couldn't help but rush forward and tear the vixen's face apart.

After finally waiting for the vixen's carriage to slowly drive away, Brother Xiao also rode away.

Seeing this, Hu Yuexi immediately called the guards around him, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he shouted in a low voice: "Let's go, follow that bitch's carriage."

Hu Yuexi thought he was following secretly, but Tiechui soon discovered him.

"Miss, there are people following our carriage. If I am not mistaken, it is the girl who bumped into you just now. Do you want me to send them away?"

Xie Lan frowned slightly. After all, this was under the emperor's feet. If they hurt someone at will, once it got out, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. Moreover, if the other party denied following them and insisted that they were just walking the same way, if they took the initiative, they would end up being in the wrong.

"As long as they don't do anything out of line, just ignore them."

In Xie Lan's opinion, the incident was just an accident, far from any deep hatred. She guessed that the girl followed her carriage because she wanted to find out her identity, or perhaps to warn her to stay away from Lord Xiao.

But when Tiechui was driving the carriage through a remote alley, several people suddenly rushed out from all directions, attacked from the front and back, and surrounded the carriage.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking our carriage?"

The leading guard ignored Tiechui's shouting and calmly waved to the guards around him, "Take them away." Tiechui's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was about to draw his sword, but was stopped by Xie Lan, "Don't do it, go with them."

Xie Lan now has very little merit and spiritual energy left, and she doesn't want to commit murder again unless it is absolutely necessary. She has no intention of marrying Lord Xiao, and it would be best if the girl is willing to listen to her explanation.

But if the other party refuses to give up, she will not allow herself to be bullied.

After the ferocious guards forced Xie Lan and Tiechui onto the carriage, they immediately left and stopped at a deserted courtyard.

"Go in." After getting off the carriage, the leading guard raised his brows and shouted angrily. Xie Lan did not resist and followed him into the broken yard with a calm face.

The guards thought she was scared silly when they saw that she was not afraid at all. They did not take it seriously when they saw Tiechui carrying a long sword. In their eyes, even if this maid had martial arts skills, they were just fancy moves and could not be their opponent.

"Who do you think you are, bitch? How dare you seduce Brother Xiao?"

Xie Lan originally wanted to explain herself, but as soon as the other party saw her, he started to curse at her and even wanted to rush over and hit her.

Tiechui was quick to grab the other's wrist and pushed back. The girl was caught off guard and stumbled back several steps, but the maid behind her helped her up quickly and she did not fall.

"Bitch, you dare to attack me, do you know who I am?" After the girl stood firm, her face flushed red and she shouted angrily.

Xie Lan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, "I don't care who you are, you are just a bastard born of a bastard."

Hu Yuexi waved her hands viciously at the guards beside her and screamed, "Catch this bitch. I'm going to cut her face to pieces. Let's see how she can seduce Brother Xiao again."

He glared at Xie Lan viciously, and then asked the leading guard, "Hu Jiu, didn't I ask you to find some thugs to come over? Did you ignore my words?"

Hu Jiu bowed his head and saluted, "Miss, I have already found five thugs as you ordered and locked them in the side room. I have already fed them the aphrodisiac drugs, and the others are waiting for your orders."

Hu Yuexi nodded with satisfaction, a twisted smile on her face, "Very good, since this bitch likes to seduce men, let those hooligans have a good time with the master and servant. Hu Jiu, find a way to lure Lord Xiao over here and let him see how slutty this bitch is."

Tiechui saw these people making vicious plans without paying attention to others, and murderous intent surged in his heart. This time, Xie Lan did not stop her, but instead signaled her to take action.

With Xie Lan's permission, Tie Chui rushed out like lightning and swept his sword, killing all the guards before they could react.

Seeing the iron hammer approaching him step by step, Hu Yuexi came back to his senses in fear, "What do you want to do? My father is Hu Yong, the commander of the Jinyiwei. If you dare to attack me, my father will never let you go!"

It turned out that she was Hu Yong’s daughter. Both father and daughter were not good people.

Others might be afraid of the Imperial Guards, but Xie Lan was not one of them.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. But you can't waste the thugs you found. Let them serve you well."
