"Brother Liu, what are you talking about? Since you have come to the Jun Mansion, you are our most distinguished guests. If you need anything, just tell me. I will definitely do it for Brother Liu and Miss Lingxin. I am just worried that some servants are not sensible. If there is anything that I have not taken good care of, I hope Brother Liu and Miss Lingxin can forgive me."
After speaking to Lingxin, he nodded towards Liu Jinjing with an approachable smile on his face, looking very warm.
Ling Xin's vanity was satisfied, and she naturally forgot all the unpleasant things before. Moreover, before coming to the Jun family, she had inquired in advance. Now in the Jun family, the third young master is a hot figure.
Although he is not the legitimate son of the main wife, his concubine is the third concubine who is most favored by the head of the Jun family. It is also said that this third young master has a high talent for cultivation and is a well-known figure in Junzhou.
"Third Young Master, you are too polite. Ling Xin was just angry just now, that's why... I hope Third Young Master don't take it to heart. Ling Xin is here to apologize for my recklessness just now. Please..." As she said this, she put her hands on her waist, bent her legs slightly, and made a gesture of salute.
But just as she moved her body, Jun Zan reached out and lifted her hands, "Hey, Sister Lingxin, this is too formal, there is no need to be like this. Since we already know each other, Jun Zan will dare to call you Sister Lingxin. If Sister Lingxin doesn't mind, you can call me brother. This Third Young Master sounds a bit strange."
A pair of big hands lifted Lingxin's slender wrist. They were just in a hurry just now, and only now did they react to the touch of skin.
The smooth and cool touch made Jun Zan feel refreshed, and extinguished the anger he had just felt because of Jun Qing.
Feeling the comfort coming from the skin, he raised his head and took a closer look at the second young lady of the Ling family.
Her skin was as white as cream, her figure was as graceful as a willow, her eyes were full of sparkle, and because of her actions, she looked shy and her cheeks were flushed, which made people feel itchy.
This Second Miss Ling is truly a beauty.
Liu Jinjing looked at the two people pulling each other's hands, then looked at their shy and emotional expressions, and felt very angry.
The young master of the Jun family is a pervert.
He just silently held his arms and showed such a lewd expression. If they continued to look at each other, they would probably roll right into the bed.
And Ling Xin is really something. She says that she loves him, but why does she change when she sees a handsome man
Besides, Jun Zan doesn’t look that good.
He is big and strong, and looks like a rough man. What's good about him
"Cousin, it's time for us to go meet the head of the Jun family." Liu Jinjing reminded with a smile on his face. He took a step forward, pulled away Lingxin's arm that was supported by Jun Zan, and moved sideways to block Jun Zan's tender eyes.
Ling Xin also realized at this moment that she had lost her composure just now. She didn't know if her cousin had noticed anything strange. Damn it, she must have been affected by the drug.
I didn't expect that this medicine is so powerful. Just a slight smell can affect people's mood.
But only in this way can we ensure that the Demon Lord is captured without any mistakes.
Subconsciously, he reached out and touched the hairpin on his head, a light flashing in his black eyes.
"Cousin? Cousin?"
"Hmm?" She was easily distracted when thinking of the Demon Lord, and suddenly Liu Jinjing's voice came to her ears, which brought her back to her senses.
"Cousin, what are you thinking about? We should go and pay our respects to the head of the Jun family." Liu Jinjing was very dissatisfied with Lingxin's distraction. He thought that the reason why she looked like this was because she was obsessed with the third young master of the Jun family.
I thought to myself: What a shameless woman. She made a promise to me one moment, and the next moment she becomes obsessed with men. It's disgusting.
"It just so happens that I also have something to ask my father, so I will take you there."
The heat in his eyes faded away, and he regained his former gentleness, speaking in a friendly tone.
He is also a man, so he can naturally see that this so-called cousin has ulterior motives towards Lingxin.
That’s right, since ancient times, cousins have been family members.
However, according to his guess, a young lady like Lingxin would definitely not fall in love with such an unknown and obscure man.
At most, it's just a pastime when you're lonely and bored.
So Jun Zan only put in some superficial effort towards Liu Jinjing and didn't take him seriously.
The three of them walked together, and after passing a rockery, they arrived at the main courtyard where the head of the Jun family lived.
"Butler Li, please go in and tell father that the second young lady of the Ling family, Ling Xin, wants to see you."
The butler was sitting in a corner next to the living room in a grey suit, holding a brush and writing furiously, but no one knew what he was writing.
As soon as he heard Jun Zan's voice, he immediately stopped writing and looked up.
"Third Young Master." As he said this, he gathered up the letters and manuscripts at hand and placed them in a box beside him.
He stood up, walked to Jun Zan's side, and bowed. The butler had been in the mansion for many years and was the right-hand man of the Jun family. Even the favored Jun Zan had to give him some face.
So the butler's greeting is just a formality, and he never has to wait for these young masters and young ladies to speak.
After bending slightly, he straightened up.
Glancing sideways, "This must be Miss Lingxin, the second daughter of the Ling family. I have heard of Miss Lingxin's great name for a long time. Seeing her today, she is indeed so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese drop to the ground, and the moon hide in shame."
"Butler, thank you for the compliment. Lingxin is unworthy of it." She smiled shyly, lowered her head slightly, and acted coyly.
"Hahaha, I'm just telling the truth. But Miss Lingxin and the Third Young Master came at an unfortunate time. The master of the house just received an invitation from a good friend and has just left the house."
"Is father out?" Could it be that some ignorant person had exposed his romantic affairs to his father, and his father had gone out to clean up the mess
As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.
Jun Zan felt guilty at the moment, so no matter what happened, he would always associate it with himself.
When he heard that his father had gone out, a look of panic flashed across his face.
The housekeeper was an old hand, and he was good at reading people's expressions. Seeing the Third Young Master like this, he must have gotten into some trouble again.
"It's the birthday of the Lord of Junzhou. I'm just inviting the Lord to come over for a simple meal. When he went out, the Lord brought the Third Lady with him, so the Third Young Master doesn't have to worry."
Junzhou is a power divided around the Jun family, with the Jun family at the head, and under them are the clan leader and the state division chief. In the era of the clan leader, the people who guarded the gate of Junzhou, in short, were the gatekeepers. The division chiefs were equivalent to the county magistrates of small areas.
The housekeeper is a smart man. He knows that the Third Madam is favored now and the Third Young Master is a popular candidate to be the next head of the family, so he will seize the opportunity and make the best use of it.
This favor is owed to him, and he will repay it one day.
Of course, this is just a euphemism. We are all smart people, and it’s fine as long as everyone understands it. Some things don’t need to be said too clearly.
After all, the candidate for the head of the family has not yet been decided, so the butler left himself room for maneuver and treated the other young masters equally.
"In that case, thank you, Steward Li."
"Although the master of the house is not here, Miss Lingxin does not need to feel restrained. Just treat this place as your own home. Please sit in the living room for a while. I will order someone to tidy up the Huting cottage and let Miss Lingxin move in. I will also trouble the Third Young Master to entertain the guests first."
The housekeeper had a gentle smile on his face and spoke slowly, sounding very approachable, making people feel no sense of distance. It was as if he was facing an elder whom he had not seen for a long time, making people feel very friendly.
Say it, then nodded to Jun Zan Lingxin and others, and then retreated with two servants.
The Jun family is in Junzhou, which is equivalent to the emperor. Therefore, the architecture of the Jun Mansion is also quite magnificent.
What is different from other places is that Jun Mansion is located on a plateau and is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. Even inside Jun Mansion, there is smoke and fog, as if one is above the sky and among the clouds.
"Haha... It's really beautiful here, Brother Junzan, look over there..." Lingxin jogged among the flowers. The flowers were colorful, the kingfishers were singing sweetly, and the looming mist. At that moment, she felt like a fairy in the sky.
"Hahaha, as long as Sister Lingxin likes it. If you don't mind, you can stay in Jun Mansion for a few more days. There are so many fun places in Junzhou. Brother Junzan will take you around slowly." Looking at Lingxin running among the flowers, caressing the flowers and leaves, smiling and lowering her eyes, Jun Zan felt even more itchy in his heart.
Although this girl with a graceful figure is not stunningly beautiful, she is still an outstanding beauty.
Her beauty is different from Qian'er's charm. Instead, it is fresh and refined, like a white lotus that grows out of the mud without being stained, making people want to add some other colors to it.
The crisp laughter traveled far away in the silent Jun Mansion. In the corridor, Jun Qing closed his eyes and concentrated, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Second brother, did you hear any sound?" Jun Yi's ears twitched slightly, then he patted Jun Qing's shoulder.
Jun Qing's thoughts were interrupted, his eyelids fluttered twice, and then he opened them.
"Xiaowu, when will you learn to calm down and cultivate your character? You are so irritable, like a child who has never grown up."
"Humph, I'm just a kid. I don't know what's so good about you wearing a calm mask every day. Cry when you need to cry, laugh when you need to laugh, that's life. Like you, you have no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, no emotions at all. What's the difference between being alive and being dead?"
Jun Yi pouted and spoke awkwardly.
Jun Qing looked at him, smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"Hehe..." The crisp laughter came again.
"Second brother, second brother, did you hear it? Did you hear it?" Jun Yi said excitedly, pulling Jun Qing's arm and shaking it.
"Yes."
"It seems to be a little girl. She doesn't sound like the daughter of our Jun family. From the sound, she is in the garden in front. Second brother, should we go over to take a look? Just by listening to the sound, we know that this girl must be pretty."
"... "Although he has a childish nature, the idea of liking little girls is very mature.
"The old man is going to come out of seclusion soon, and all the forces will send people to congratulate him. So there should be a lot of foreign guests coming to the Jun Mansion recently. Among them, there are many forces that you can't mess with. So, you must stay by my side every step recently, otherwise, with your temper, if you bump into a young lady from another family, I'm afraid you will have to spend the rest of your life."
Jun Yi didn't quite understand what Jun Qing said.
What does it mean to leave it to you for the rest of your life
Is it possible that he will lose his life because of this
That’s not possible.
In this way, he is also a young master of the Jun family.
"Brother, don't scare me. If I tell you anything, will those girls kill me?" He has seen many girls, all of them are gentle, kind and considerate. They are not as scary as his brother said.
Humph, second brother must be trying to scare him.
"These young ladies are different from the little girls and prostitutes you have seen before. Since they have a relationship with my Jun Mansion, they must be from big families. Most of them are born noble and spoiled. If you are lucky, you will meet a well-educated and reasonable girl and at most you will be beaten by your father. If you are unlucky and provoke a willful and unreasonable girl, she may rely on you, and my second brother will have to drink your wedding wine in advance."
"... "He is so willful and unreasonable, yet he still wants to rely on me. Then the rest of my life will be over.
"Oh my god, this is too horrible." After hearing Jun Qing's words, she couldn't help but shudder and subconsciously leaned closer to Jun Qing.
Noticing Jun Yi's action, Jun Qing raised the corner of his mouth, but it was too quick and Jun Yi didn't see it.
