Chapter 221 The enemy of the enemy is a friend

The female family's guest room is located in the backyard, close to the residence of other female family members of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, especially the guest room where Lin Yingxue stayed yesterday is very close to the residence of the new wife, so she saw a good show when she left early in the morning.

"What's going on?" When passing by Shao Rui's yard, Lin Yingxue vaguely saw a familiar figure kneeling at the door of the yard. Who else could that figure be if it was Lin Yingling?

"Miss--" Miaoqin, who had already gone to the side to find out the news, hurriedly replied: "I heard that it was because Concubine Ling got up late in the morning and missed the time to pay her respects. Now the fifth prince's concubine is teaching Concubine Ling to set rules."

"Is that?" Murong Xun must have rested in Lin Yingling's room last night. He gave the bride such a big face on the first day of his wedding. If the bride does nothing, wouldn't it look easy to bully?

It’s a pity that she is an outsider now, and it’s somewhat inappropriate to stand outside the yard and watch others joke. Lin Yingxue reluctantly withdrew her gaze and couldn’t help but ask, “Where is the fifth prince’s person?”

Lin Yingling is a person with Murong Xun's heart. How could he bear to see Lin Yingling being bullied like this? This is simply abnormal.

"I heard that I brought the fifth prince's concubine to the palace today and met the emperor. The emperor had to discuss with the fifth prince if he had something to do, so he kept the fifth prince for a while. The fifth prince has not come back yet." Miaoqin was indeed a good at inquiring about the news, and she could find out clearly in every detail.

After Lin Yingxue heard Miaoqin's words, she had a trace of clarity on her face.

Lin Yingling must be extremely aggrieved at this time, right? Although she is loved by Murong Xun, she is just a side room no matter what. She is destined to be suppressed by Shao Rui everywhere. She has been pampered since she was a child. She has almost never suffered any grievances. She must feel uncomfortable... Thinking of this, Lin Yingxue felt inexplicably happy.

Lin Yingxue turned around and planned to leave, but before she could take two steps, Murong Xun suddenly rushed over with someone, "Who ordered Ling'er to kneel outside?"

Lin Yingxue felt a murderous aura from a distance. Soon Murong Xun passed by her like the wind, walked to Lin Yingling and helped the person up.

And why did Lin Yingling suffer such grievances? After being helped up by Murong Xun, she immediately leaned against Murong Xun's arms and sobbed quietly.

Lin Yingling's facial features were actually very soft, but the anger lingered around her for many years covered her original temperament. When she started crying, she looked like she was so pitiful that she looked like she was wearing rain. If Lin Yingxue was a man, she might feel sorry for her, let alone Murong Xun, who originally treated Lin Yingling as her heart.

Lin Yingxue saw Murong Xun's face sinking inch by inch, and looking at Murong Jun's appearance that was about to kill, Lin Yingxue took two steps back consciously, and the new lady who had never appeared at this time finally walked out of the yard.

"Husband--" Shao Rui's appearance is worse than Lin Yingling, and it is obvious that Lin Yingling can dress herself. Although she is also dressed in luxurious clothes, Shao Rui has a vulgar look.

"You asked Ling'er to kneel outside in the winter?" Murong Xun did not respond to Shao Rui's enthusiasm, but asked coldly.

Murong Xun's terrible appearance made Shao Rui take two steps back in fear. "Last night, everyone was busy to rest in the middle of the night. This morning, I got up with my husband and went to the palace to meet my father and mother. However, after I came back, Concubine Ling had not yet gotten up and asked me for her... This was just the first day after I passed the door. Does the husband think that Concubine Ling should not be punished?"

Although there was a look of fear floating on Shao Rui's face, she was still confident when she spoke because she was in the right way.

Lin Yingling, who was originally leaning against Murong Xun's arms, was stunned when she heard this - she was used to getting up late at the Lin family. In addition, Murong Xun gave her such a great face when she passed by, and she rested in her room on the wedding night, so the people under her naturally did not take Shao Rui seriously.

But who would have thought that Shao Rui was actually a powerful character who actually asked people to pull her out of the bed and gave her such a big threat? Lin Yingling gritted her teeth and looked dissatisfied.

Murong Xun originally wanted to have an attack, but Shao Rui said it reasonably, and he couldn't find an excuse for an attack for a while. What's more, the Shao family is still useful to him now. If he angered Shao Rui, it would not be of any benefit to him.

Thinking of this, Murong Xun forced himself to hold back his anger and said with a stern face: "Ling'er is weak and can't blow the cold wind. If the lady wants to set rules in the future, she can change to a more gentle way."

Murong Xun's compromise was actually expected by Lin Yingxue. After all, Murong Xun coaxed her around like this, but in fact he had already had a secret fetuse with Lin Yingling behind his back.

He is such a cold and ruthless person. His kindness to a person depends on whether that person has value or not.

When she thought about this, even Lin Yingxue herself did not notice that a sneer appeared on her face.

Perhaps because of the presence of Lin Yingxue, an outsider, both sides did not say much. Murong Xun took Lin Yingling away in a hurry. Lin Yingxue turned around to leave when she saw this, but Shao Rui looked at her and said, "It is rare for the fifth girl to be a guest at the Fifth Prince's Mansion. Why not stay and sit and leave."

"Hmm?" Lin Yingxue didn't even know about Shao Rui before yesterday, but now Shao Rui took the initiative to ask her to stay and sit, so Lin Yingxue was very surprised.

Without waiting for Lin Yingxue to speak, Shao Rui walked up to her and took Lin Yingxue's arm affectionately to take Lin Yingxue into the yard. She also smiled while walking: "Don't feel embarrassed for Miss Five. Everyone is a relative. There are more days to walk around in the future. Miss Five should be familiar with it in advance."

Shao Rui said this, what else could Lin Yingxue say? She could only pull her into the house.

"I heard that the relationship between the fifth girl and Concubine Ling is actually not good, right?" Shao Rui said without any preparation after entering the house.

Lin Yingxue didn't expect that Shao Rui would speak so directly. The sip of tea she drank almost spit out, "Well... it's not good." She and Lin Yingling had been incompatible for a long time, and this was no secret, so she did not hide it, but admitted it honestly.

Seeing Lin Yingxue admitting it readily, Shao Rui couldn't help but smile, "It just so happens that I don't like her. As the saying goes, the enemy's enemy is a friend, and we will be friends in the future! You have to come to the mansion more often, and let's find a way to deal with that little bitch!"

Before Lin Yingxue could come back to her senses from the surprise just now, Shao Rui's words were like a thunderclap that immediately struck her, burning on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Haha..." Lin Yingxue curled her lips and smiled, just lowered her head to drink tea, and did not respond to Shao Rui's words.

Shao Rui didn't mind either, so she pulled Lin Yingxue and talked about it for a long time before letting Lin Yingxue go.

After Lin Yingxue returned to her new house with relief, she took off her headdress and fell asleep without saying a word. Miaoqin and others were far away when they saw this, for fear of disturbing Lin Yingxue's rest.

Therefore, Lin Yingxue slept very sweetly this time. When she opened her eyes again, she could no longer see the light outside the window. "It's so late, these girls don't know how to ask me to get up..."

Lin Yingxue rubbed her eyes and stood up but accidentally hit her firm chest, "Three... Ajun, why are you here?"

When Lin Yingxue saw Murong Jun's words "Three Princesses" were about to blurt out, but under Murong Jun's knife-like gaze, she had to change her mouth quickly.

"My mother said she would hold a banquet in the palace to welcome me on a daily basis. For the sake of the fun, many people were invited. My mother also specially told me to let you go, so I came to send you an invitation." Murong Jun took out an invitation from his sleeve and put it on the table like a magic trick.

Lin Yingxue glanced at the invitation and said in confusion: "Why don't you let the servants come here? You also want to go there in person."

"Because if I let the servants come, I will not see you." Lin Yingxue, who had just woken up, was like a soft and well-behaved kitten, which made Murong Jun unable to help but reach out and pinch Lin Yingxue's face.

Lin Yingxue glanced at Murong Jun, but did not avoid it, but analyzed seriously: "The Empress is so happy, is it because the battle situation on the border is good?"

"Yeah." Murong Jun nodded with a smile, "Xiang Kingdom lacks momentum, and now it is retreating step by step. It has already spit out the city of Rong Kingdom that I had occupied before. Although Rong Kingdom has only recovered the lost territory, this is also a good news."

"So that's it." Lin Yingxue nodded in agreement. She was about to continue speaking, but seeing Murong Jun frowning and looking up and down, as if looking for something, she couldn't help but wonder: "Why, is there anything on me worth the Third Prince's look at so carefully?"

"Well, the jade pendant." Murong Jun raised his head and looked at Lin Yingxue seriously.

Lin Yingxue's face was originally smiling, but after hearing Murong Jun's words, the smile on her face froze, "Uh, jade pendant..."

Lin Yingxue scratched her head, not knowing how to explain to Murong Jun.

Seeing this, Murong Jun's expression disappeared suddenly, "Did you lose it?"

The tone of the person in front of him was already filled with obvious displeasure, "No, no!" Lin Yingxue hurriedly explained: "I handed over the jade pendant to my second sister, because I think it is more appropriate to hand over the jade pendant to my second sister for safekeeping..."

"The jade pendant is mine, not yours. What power do you have to hand over the jade pendant to an outsider?" The jade pendant was obviously more precious than Lin Yingxue imagined. Looking at Murong Jun's angry look, Lin Yingxue felt a little embarrassed inexplicably.

She looked at Murong Jun without blinking, and moved quietly into the bed while Murong Jun was not paying attention. Murong Jun was obviously really angry. After staring at Lin Yingxue for a long time, she turned around and left without saying a word.
