The most powerful minister in the world

The next morning, a prosperous and noble carriage was walking in a bluestone alley, with copper bells tied with tassels on both sides of the curtain tinkling.

At the entrance of the yard, Jingxi jumped out of the carriage with a tired look on his face.

"Dong Dong~"

"Squeak~"

Lian'er opened the door, blinked her almond-shaped eyes, and with a slight displeasure on her face, pouted: "Young Master stays out all night again, huh!"

Jingxi swallowed her saliva, fanned her collar, and said softly, "Your sister Mei is here."

"Pfft~" Liang'er covered her mouth and laughed, "Hahaha, Master, don't try to fool Liang'er. How could Sister Mei come to Jiangnan?"

Jingxi pinched her eyebrows and stepped aside. Liu Ningmei was wearing a silver-threaded Sichuan embroidery brocade dress with folded skirts and pleated skirts, standing on the bluestone bricks.

Lian'er's eyelids gradually raised, with a look of surprise on his face, and he stayed there for a long time, unable to recover.

"Xiao Nizi, do you miss your sister?"

Liu Ningmei smiled charmingly, and Yan'er rushed out of the door in the next second and jumped on her like flying.

The breeze stirred up along the way swept Jingxi aside.

Lian'er held Liu Ningmei's neck with both hands, and kept smothering her face against hers.

"Sister Mei, you really came to Jiangnan~"

Liu Ningmei giggled non-stop due to the tickling, and hit Lian'er on the head.

"Look at you, what are you eating? Your mouth is full of powdered sugar?"

"Have it?"

Liu Ningmei pinched her delicate face and hummed: "You have only been in Jiangnan for a few months, why are you getting more and more stupid?"

"That's what Sister Xiangmei wants~"

Liu Ning rolled her eyebrows at her, glanced at her chest, and then narrowed her cold eyes at Jing Xi.

This made him tremble all over, coughed twice and said, "Let's go in."

"Hmm~ It just so happens that Third Sister is also peeling lotus seeds in the yard. Sister Mei, you will definitely like her."

Jingxi suddenly snorted when he heard this, what's going on with this girl? He is usually very smart, so why do you always push him to the cliff today?

"Oh?" Liu Ningmei looked sideways at Jing Xi, "I heard she is a beauty."

"Hmm~~" Lian'er nodded her chin with a thoughtful look on her face, "Young master seems to have said that the third sister is not inferior to sister Mei in terms of looks."

"Really, did he really say that?"

Jing Xi stood far away from the door and felt that a raging fire was burning behind Liu Ningmei. In the fire, it seemed that a yaksha ghost was about to fly over and strangle him to death.

Before the yaksha ghost flew over, he quickly ran over and covered Lian'er's mouth, shouting: "Go in quickly, you slept late last night, and you are weak, so don't stand for a long time."

Jingxi's fingers dug into the temples of the curtain and continued: "Same for you, girl. Why don't you clean up your sister's west room quickly? What are you doing standing there in a daze?"

Lan'er's mouth was covered and she was humming non-stop.

Liu Ningmei, on the other hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, rolled her eyes and said, "Why waste that energy? Lian'er and I will sleep together in the west room."

Jingxi's heart skipped a beat when Lian'er bit his finger, causing him to jump up in pain.

He was jumping around, and when he turned back, Lian'er had already walked in holding Liu Ningmei's arm.

He thought to himself: Today next year will be the anniversary of my death.

It seemed that this originally very warm courtyard was now shrouded in murderous intent.

The invisible murderous aura leaking from the gaps in the eaves tiles also turned into shackles in Jingxi's eyes, which could strangle his neck and hang him from the beam at any time.

On sunny mornings, Li San likes to sit in the pavilion by the pool and be in a daze. When he regains consciousness, he works as a female celebrity and reads a few casual books.

At this moment, she was holding a lotus in her hand and looking at the water in trance, hearing the playful sounds in her ears.

She raised her head and looked at the stone path leading from the rockery, and saw Lian'er holding a beautiful woman in fluttering clothes, who captured the splendor of heaven and earth, walking toward the Bajiao Pavilion.

A woman's unique vigilance makes her subconsciously ready to face the enemy.

Until Lian'er drew Liu Ningmei to the pavilion, Li San once again marveled at Liu Ningmei's peerless beauty and unique temperament.

Looking at Liu Ningmei again, a pair of red and phoenix eyes were shining on Li San, and she snorted coldly in her heart: Killing a thousand swordsmen, seeing how pretty this girl is, she tried every means to get people to move in. Sooner or later, you will be clicked.

Jingxi was on the top of the rockery when he sneezed out of nowhere.

This sneeze floated to the Octagonal Pavilion, breaking the long silence.

"Third sister, this sister is..."

Before Liang'er could finish speaking, Liu Ningmei squatted down slightly with a noble look on her face: "Miss Li, my Tan Lang, thank you for taking care of me on Qishan Mountain."

Li San, who was already prepared to face the enemy, was still knocked off balance by Liu Ningmei's "Soft Palm" attack.

"The girl is serious. She looks sick. Why don't you take a seat?"

Liu Ningmei calmly brushed the hem of her skirt behind her and sat down. She asked with a smile on her lips, "Is this girl from Lingnan?"

Li Sanzheng, who sat back on the wooden chair, held the lotus seeds with silver tweezers. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "I have traveled all over the world since I was a child, and I have no hometown."

"I made a mistake," Liu Ningmei nodded slightly, "I wonder if the girl is comfortable living in my small courtyard?"

Lian'er was sandwiched between the two of them, grabbed a handful of fresh lotus seeds, and put them into his mouth one by one.

Jingxi, who was afraid of getting angry, was squatting behind the boulder on the rockery, tilting his head and watching every move in the Octagonal Pavilion.

A pink albizia flower fell in the center of the embroidered ebony table, and Li San exchanged lotus pods in his hands.

She smiled and said: "With ten taels of silver a month, it is really difficult to find such a good place in Jiangnan."

Liu Ningmei put her fingers on her lips and said with a smile: "It'll be good as long as you get used to it, but I don't like sharp objects in the guest house."

"There are many guests coming and going in this courtyard, including some wealthy people. Is it reasonable for me, a weak woman, to put a pair of scissors under my embroidery pillow?"

Liu Ningmei stretched out a slender hand and said coldly: "Take it."

The atmosphere in the Octagonal Pavilion suddenly turned freezing, and the two peerless women looked at each other.

In the gap between these two pairs of beautiful eyes, there seemed to be thousands of troops charging and fighting.

"What if I don't take it?" Li San said calmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a hidden sword was placed across her neck from behind.

"There is one less rootless, nameless, and lonely person in this world." Liu Ningmei picked up the lotus seeds that rolled over and crushed them into pieces. "I believe no one will ask, right?"

Li San still held the lotus seeds with silver tweezers in an orderly manner, as if the hidden sword that could take his life at any time did not exist.

She chuckled and said, "I have a good family background, so hiring a murderer to kill someone is a bit burdensome."
