After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Zheng Xian said nothing after hearing this.

The room suddenly fell into silence, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

After a long while, Zheng Xian finally broke the silence and said, "I understand. Since there is nothing I can do, let everything take its course."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Li Jin and Lu Yin were still kneeling on the ground. Zheng Xian didn't call them to get up, and they didn't dare to get up. Just like that, Zheng Xian walked away for a long time, and they were still kneeling on the ground, motionless.

Even I couldn't stand it anymore, so I wiped the oil off Yiping's hands with a wet towel and said, "Are you two planning to kneel down and reclaim the land until the end of time?"

Li Jin raised his head and glanced at me, then pouted towards the door and whispered, "Master Zhao, please be kind and help me check to see if His Majesty has really left?"

Without even looking up, I said, "Why should I help you? You just made me run around in circles and I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you still want me to help you."

Li Jin sighed and said, "Isn't it because you cried just now that His Majesty punished us to kneel down and not cry out? Can't you see it?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "Don't throw all the dirty water on me! I won't take the blame for this."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have played tricks on you. Can you please help us? If you don't help us, we might really have to kneel down until the end of time." Li Jin said pitifully.

I am a person who is soft-hearted and cannot stand being tough. I hated him to the point of gritting my teeth in the last second, but in the next second I couldn't help but help him when I saw how miserable he was.

So I put down the wet towel and walked out, but I didn’t expect that Zheng Xian was actually standing outside the door!

I saw him standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back, looking quietly at the sky with an unfathomable look on his face.

I just wanted to come out and take a look to get the job done, but I didn't expect Zheng Xian hadn't really left yet.

I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so I coughed lightly and said, "Haha, what a coincidence, I just ate too much and came out for a walk to help digest the food, yes, to help digest the food."

Zheng Xian smiled and said, "I am waiting for you here."

I suddenly felt that Li Jin had tricked me again. I was so angry that I was about to turn around and curse, but Zheng Xian grabbed my sleeve and walked away.

My robe was about to be torn off, so I quickly grabbed the robe that was sliding down and shouted, "Hey, stop it, you're almost tearing my clothes off, where are you taking me?"

These words sounded somewhat ambiguous. Zheng Xian paused and quickly let go of her hand. His face actually turned slightly red. He said, "I have something important to tell you. I don't want outsiders to hear it. Don't shout and let outsiders hear it."

The emperor actually has a secret to tell me?

You don’t need to think about it with your head, just use your toes to know that it is definitely not a good thing!

I quickly said, "I left some things in that room. I'll get them and come back to you."

After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave.

Zheng Xian said calmly: "Without my permission, not even a fly can fly out of here."

Damn, who are you guarding against?

I quickly turned around, gave a fake smile and said, "Haha, I suddenly feel that thing is not very important now. Come on, let's talk about things."

After saying that, I got up and walked away, but in my heart I cursed Zheng Xian a thousand times.

I don’t know what happened, but I, who never swear, kept having some swear words pop up in my mind. Even Zheng Xian’s ancestors for three generations were cursed several times!

At this time, I didn’t notice that Zheng Xian was looking at my back with a sly smile on his face, just like a tiger seeing a rabbit that has nowhere to escape, and showing a determined smile.

Li Jin's mansion is slightly smaller than Gongsun Ning's Taifu Mansion. It has three entrances and three exits and its design is as simple as it can be.

There are no pavilions, towers, bridges, flowing water, rockery, or precious flowers and plants. The only eye-catching things are the peach trees and jujube trees between the courtyards. The jujube trees are full of fruits, which are very pleasing to the eye.

The backyard was quite spacious, but a pond was dug in it, and a lot of fish were raised in the pond, which looked quite plump and tender. Next to the pond, a large vegetable garden was cultivated, and a lot of vegetables were planted in the garden at this time. Red peppers, green rapeseed, white radishes, lively and colorful, I think they are more beautiful than the flowers planted in Gongsun Ning's mansion.

There is also a chicken coop next to the vegetable garden, with many chickens and ducks raised freely, which seems to be completely self-sufficient.

I looked at the plump fish in the pond and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect Lord Li to be such a foodie! In this mansion, you can find food just by stretching your hands or looking up."

Zheng Xian laughed and said, "You are right. Li Jin is not only good at handling cases, but also very knowledgeable about food."

Next to the vegetable patch there was a low table and a few low wooden stools. It was probably where Li Jin came to relax when he was tired from handling cases.

Who would have thought that Li Jin, in this prosperous capital city, actually lived a life like Tao Yuanming's "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely seeing the southern mountains". It was really the envy of others!

On the low table, there were several plates of pastries, a pot of tea and two teacups.

Zheng Xian pointed to the stool and said, "Sit down and chat slowly."

I looked at the stool that was not even half the size of my butt and said with some embarrassment, "You can sit down, I'll stand."

Zheng Xian seemed to suddenly come to his senses and said, "It was my fault for not considering it carefully. I immediately asked someone to replace him."

Zheng Xian waved his hand, and someone immediately brought up two long wooden benches and a square eight-immortal table.

Zheng Xian looked at the set of stools and tables, frowned, and said, "I asked myself whether I paid Li Jin a salary that was not bad, but Li Jin was so stingy that he didn't even have a set of decent furniture."

I said, "You should feel lucky that your most capable assistant is an honest official."

Zheng Xian burst into laughter and said repeatedly, "That makes sense, that makes sense."

Zheng Xian waved his robe and sat on the bench, saying, "Sit down, don't be shy. I know you didn't have enough food just now. I sent someone to Yongfangzhai to buy these cakes. Try them."

Yongfangzhai?

Isn’t that the heroine Zhao Fangping’s favorite dim sum shop?

I still remember a scene on TV: Zhao Fangping was riding in a carriage into the palace, and happened to pass by Yongfangzhai, so she ordered the servant to buy some cakes. As a result, the one she liked was out of stock, so the servant bought another one. When she saw that the cake was not what she liked, she was about to slap the servant in the face without changing her expression. At this time, she happened to see Zheng Yan and several classmates who were strolling on the street after school from the Martial Academy. She quickly retracted her hand, and slowly and pretentiously put her hand on the oil paper bag of the cake, gently pinched a piece of cake, put it in front of herself, and recited two lines of poetry: "The cakes of the Zhai family are famous in the capital, and the fragrance of osmanthus is fragrant in Yongfang."

After reciting these two lines of nonsense poetry, she put the pastry into her cherry mouth very gracefully and smiled gently with a satisfied look on her face.

In the sunshine, an extremely beautiful girl gently revealed a captivating smile. No one could resist such stunning temptation, and Zheng Yan was no exception.

It turns out that Zheng Yan fell in love with Zhao Fangping from that time on!

I said "Oh" with a look of understanding.

Zheng Xian saw me staring at the cakes in front of me with a silly look on my face, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Man, are you worried about something?"
