Chapter 10 Whoever eats melons gets eaten
Lin Xing comforted Zhao Jie in this way, but wasn't she talking about herself?
She is no longer sure if anyone in this world remembers her. After all... even she seems to have forgotten who she was in the past.
Seeing that Lin Xing, who was comforting him, was also depressed, Zhao Jie wiped away his tears carelessly, sighed deeply, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the murderer of my father and avenge him! I can't let him go in vain.
died!"
Young Zhao Jie's voice still had a hint of youthfulness, but it was completely different from the unruly tone when they first met.
Lin Xing came back to look at him and said in surprise: "You have changed a lot compared to the beginning."
She never said what it was. At first, Zhao Jie couldn't help but think of his unreasonable and arrogant behavior when he first met her. He also thought of how hard he was arguing with the Wei family for her today, and he felt even worse.
He lifted up his robe and knelt down, looked at Lin Xing solemnly, raised his hands and swore an oath.
"The yellow sky is above and the thick soil is below. I, Zhao Jie, swear here that I will respect Lin Xing as my mother, serve her, and take care of her until the end of my life. If I violate this oath, I will be struck by thunder and die!"
After saying that, under Lin Xing's shocked eyes, he stood up calmly, took two steps back solemnly, and saluted: "Mother... mother, my son was rude in the past, and such unruly things will never happen again in the future.
"
Seeing Zhao Jie swearing and promising again, Lin Xing was dumbfounded. What did he just say?
Respect her as a mother?
"You don't have to make this oath." Lin Xing refused, she said, "I have hands and feet, and I also have a bird feather seal letter and a share of my monthly silver every month, why should I ask you to support me? Besides, I
I have no feelings for your father, and there is a huge age difference. If you want you to respect me as your mother, it would be a bit of a favor in return. I don't want to do that, and you don't have to take it to heart."
"My son's past is too ridiculous. If his mother doesn't trust him, he can write it down in black and white on paper!" Zhao Jie took a step forward, fearing that she would refuse again.
But Lin Xing didn't want any oath at all. She just wanted to quickly complete the system tasks and return to her own world.
But now that Zhao Jie was looking excited, she couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to give in and said: "There is no need to put it in black and white. I believe you are not a person who breaks your word."
After saying that, she was afraid that Zhao Jie would bring up the matter again, so she decisively changed her tone and reminded him: "I know that you are grateful to Prince Chang'an in your heart, but you must be on guard against others. The Zhao family is so rich that anyone who sees it will be jealous.
You must be careful."
"Mother……"
"Stop it!" Lin Xing waved her hand, "I can't give birth to a son as old as you at my age."
I thought she was a good young girl, but how could she become the mother of a child?
Zhao Jie scratched his head, "You were married by my father Ming Yuanzheng. If I don't call you mother, what should you be called?"
"You can yell whatever you want outside, but forget it at home." Lin Xing said, "You are not a rule-abiding person anyway. You and I know everything, so there is no need to pretend in front of each other."
She said it so straightforwardly that Zhao Jie simply broke the pot and said, "Then I'll call you sister. I really can't say it to you to call me mother with your face."
So Zhao Jie also changed his words, "Sister, why do you doubt Prince Zhou? Not to mention that no one in the entire Yuzhou city did not praise him. Even the emperor praised him greatly. He saved you and me alone. We also
You should be grateful, right?”
"It's not suspicion, just in case." Lin Xing reminded him, "Don't forget, Que Ling Seal Xin is in our hands. If he saves you, I will save Que Ling Seal Xin."
The Zhao family is extremely wealthy, but she has not yet seen the tip of the iceberg. Is it possible that Zhou Yan is not curious at all?
Hearing what she said, Zhao Jie suddenly turned pale, "He doesn't really have evil thoughts, does he?"
After all, he is still a child.
Lin Xing sighed, poured a cup of tea with her own hands and pushed it over to comfort him, "Don't worry, even if it's for his own reputation, he will protect you and me."
After Zhao Jie finished his tea, she continued to ask: "Do you know who that assassination was aimed at?"
"Zhang Ping, the chief of guards around the prince, checked the surrounding marks and found a footprint. Based on the pattern of the footprints, he found the tailor shop. The tailor in that family recognized him as a guard of the Zhao family? So, that assassination seemed to be aimed at you and me.
"
By the end of the story, Zhao Jie was sweating profusely.
If they killed Chang'an Hou Shizi, let alone redress his father's grievances, even their own lives would be in danger.
Lin Xing was speechless for a while.
I originally thought that I saved Zhou Yan, but I never thought that I still owed him a favor.
She rubbed her brows and said, "That's all. Let me prepare some generous gifts someday. You and I will go to Zifu in person to thank you."
Because she was still injured, the thank you was delayed until the third day.
As soon as Lin Xing could get out of bed, she immediately asked Zhao Yi's confidant Uncle Zhong to buy a whole cart of thank-you gifts, pull an ox cart, and follow their carriage to the Prince's Mansion.
On the street in front of Zifu, the rules required people to get off the carriage and walk, so the two got off the carriage.
This was the first time that mother and son had appeared in front of people since they moved out of Zhao's house. Many people recognized Lin Xing and Zhao Jie and pointed at them along the way.
Lin Xing didn't care at all, but Zhao Jie used to call friends, and now the whole city knew that they were separated from the Zhao family. Therefore, Zhao Jie's former friends and friends also left him one after another. Now when they met on the road, not only did they not say hello
, instead stepped forward to ridicule him.
"Hey, isn't this the eldest son Zhao who was kicked out by the Zhao family? Knowing that he can't survive, he wants to hug the prince of Chang'an. I'm afraid you can't even enter the prince's palace. If you are willing to kneel down for me,
Maybe I can take you in, my father is very favored by the prince now!"
The man laughed proudly and waved off the gifts on the bullock cart. His eyes inadvertently fell on Lin Xing next to Zhao Jie, his eyes filled with desire unconcealed.
Lin Xing didn't expect that she could be dragged in while eating melon, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes
When Zhao Jie saw his eyes looking at Lin Xing, the alarm went off. He stepped forward to block the man's sight and asked, "Can I enter the Prince's Mansion and have nothing to do with you Nian Ruipeng? If you keep looking around, you will be careful."
Poke your eyes out!"
Upon hearing that he dared to threaten her, Nian Ruipeng suddenly became furious, furious, and cursed: "Bah! With such a young and beautiful stepmother by your side, who knows if you are going to make her your mother or your bride?"
?”
"Here, give me a beating! Anyway, he has been kicked out of the Zhao family now. Even if he is beaten to death, there will be no one to collect his body!"
Nian Ruipeng waved his hand arrogantly, and several thugs following him blocked up in front of Lin Xing and Zhao Jie like a mountain, ready to take action.
Suddenly, Lin Xing glanced at her, and a beautiful smile appeared on her already unparalleled face, but it was like a hibiscus weeping dew on a flower, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Lin Xing walked through the crowd with a smile on her face, walked to the door of the Prince's Mansion, and smiled at Zhou Yanyan who was leaning against a large pillar.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for rescuing my concubine and Zhao Jie from the Zhao family. It is a great kindness that I will never forget. I am willing to work as a horse for Your Majesty..."
Zhou Yan had a bad premonition, and before Lin Xing finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand, "Sister-in-law, you are so polite! Someone is coming, please invite them in!"
