"I think Mr. Chen San has seen through my plan, so I might as well not hide it from you. I want to borrow your name, sir. You should also know my situation at home." Lin Xi lowered her head, looking very well-behaved.

Chen Xun smiled with an ambiguous tone: "Hmm?"

"As for Jiang Zhong, he's your man, right? I want to make the matter between the Ninth Prince and Lin Yuanyue known to everyone." Lin Xi smiled and continued, "Since you are fanning the flames, you must be planning something. Later I thought about it, the only person who can make you plan something is the Ninth Prince."

"As for what the evidence you took from Lord Wei is, I don't want to know."

Chen Xun is the prince's teacher, and His Majesty has favored Concubine Ruan over the years and has intentionally or unintentionally allowed the Ninth Prince to stand in the court, which has already made many people have other thoughts.

Chen Xun's eyes narrowed and he glanced at her for a long time, "Is this what you came here to talk about today?"

Lin Xi took a few deep breaths. She actually just wanted to come to his place today. "Lord Chen is wise and powerful. He will not argue with me."

Chen Xun paused, then understood immediately: "Why? You want to go out and damage my reputation again?"

Lin Xi was startled. Who told him that he was the King of Hell outside? No one dared to provoke him. He raised his head with an innocent look on his face: "I didn't mean that. I just borrowed your name to use it."

"We're kind of giving and taking, aren't we?"

Her eyes fell on Chen Xun's slender, bony fingers. She had never seen such clean and beautiful hands.

Suddenly, a kitten meowed from the beam, jumped accurately into Chen Xun's arms, rubbed his palm, and turned out its white belly.

Lin Xi found it a little unbelievable that Chen Xun, who was always ruthless to outsiders, actually showed such a doting look towards a cat?

Did she see it wrong?

Didn't they say that he liked to raise wild animals? Did they like to watch wild animals devour the remains of human body?

Is the beast a cat? Or a beautiful creature with pointed ears, three colors on its body, big and thoughtful eyes, full of curiosity about everything around it?

Seeing her like this, Chen Xun took back his hand that was touching the kitten, raised his head and said coldly: "Why? Have you never seen a cat?"

It's not that I haven't seen a cat before, but I've never seen him be so tender to anyone.

"My name can't be borrowed for nothing." Chen Xun rubbed the kitten's chin skillfully, then held it on the ground. He looked at her light steps, with her tail raised high, and walked around the edge of her skirt a few times, rubbing against it, and then said, "Dongpo Rou likes you. During this time, you help me raise her."

Lin Xi paused for a moment, looking at the Dongpo Pork rolling on the ground, and carefully reached out her hand. Seeing that it didn't look like it hated her, she felt relieved to touch her cat and asked, "My Lord, you trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I won't return it to you?"

After that, she bravely picked up Dongpo Pork and gently called her name.

"I'm going on a long trip these few days, I'll pick her up when I come back."

Lin Xi frowned slightly: "My Lord, you should also know that I have no say in the family."

Dongpo Pork was round and plump, and its fur felt very soft, but it couldn't sit still. It jumped out of Lin Xi's arms. She lowered her head and watched it play. Chen Xun's indifferent voice came from above her head:

"If you don't want to raise her, do you want to raise someone else?"

Lin Xi paused, and then she heard a tiger roar. She looked up with a pale face: "Tiger?"

Chen Xun picked up the teacup and nodded: "I'm bored everyday, so I'll raise one for fun!"

Lin Xi looked at the Dongpo pork playing at his feet and said quickly, "Dongpo pork is excellent. Please stay with me for the next few days."

······

Lin Xi sat in the carriage, holding a small piece of Dongpo pork in his arms, and carefully told Chunhua: "This is our ancestor, you have to take good care of it. Don't let her get hurt during this period of time."

When Chunhua saw the kitten, she was overwhelmed with love and nodded quickly. Just as she was about to reach out to take it, Dongpo Pork bit her hard, leaving a cut on her hand. She gasped, "Miss, this cat looks docile, but it has a very fierce temper."

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and looked at the kitten lying obediently on her knees: "Forget it, remember to go see a doctor and tell the people below not to touch her."

"It's time to go back and watch the gong and drum show."

Leaving the street where Chen Xun lived, the street suddenly became bustling with people. She opened the car curtain and looked at the busy traffic outside the window with a calm expression. Suddenly, she saw a young man dressed in noble clothes, with arrogance and a little rebelliousness on his face. He pulled off the purse from his waist and threw it on the ground. The common people rushed up and looted everything in an instant.

"Miss, this person also has a connection with you!" Chunhua followed her gaze and saw the man.

Lin Xi lowered the car curtain and asked, "Oh? How come I didn't know?"

"That man is Miss Shen's brother, Shen Renzhang, who has always been famous in Kyoto." Seeing that Lin Xi was not opposed, Chunhua continued, "I heard that he is proficient in both civil and military strategies, but he has a shortcoming..."

Chunhua paused here and continued, "He is unruly. Even when his teacher punished him with hundreds of strokes, he did not change his mind. Some people also say that he is a prodigal son. When he is in high spirits, he throws money around without blinking an eye."

Lin Xi was a little surprised that Shen Qingran's brother was like this.

As summer approaches, the weather becomes much hotter and there are more vendors selling cold drinks on the streets.

Getting off the carriage, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked straight up the stairs.

As soon as they arrived at the main entrance, Chang Bo stood at the door with his hands folded. When he saw Lin Xi, his expression suddenly became serious: "Miss, the master asked you to come back and see him."

Lin Xi had a blank expression on her face, and there was a hint of something not hers about her compared to when she left the house.

Lin Hewen was in the study. Because of what happened some time ago, he simply took a leave of absence and stayed at home. He didn't even have the mood to light the incense that he usually lit for the sake of elegance.

As soon as he heard Yue'er tell him that Lin Xi secretly ran out to meet a man outside, he became furious. He didn't expect that she would dare to go through the front door when she came back?

He really thinks the Lin family hasn’t been embarrassed enough.

Lin Yuanyue, who was standing on the side, looked at Lin Hewen's stern face and felt secretly happy in her heart, thinking that this time bad luck would finally fall on Lin Xi.

After a while, she saw Lin Xi's figure and hurried forward, hurriedly pulled her arm, and said with concern: "Sister, father is angry now, you should not make him angry at this time."

Follow her quickly. If she follows you even after she has walked to the study, your father will definitely be furious.

However, she couldn't pull Lin Xi away at all. Lin Xi even mercilessly pulled her hands away and whispered in her ear: "Sister, I have something to discuss with father."

Lin Yuanyue turned her head and looked at Lin Xi who was so close to her. Lin Xi was still the same as before, even the expression on his face didn't change at all when he was talking to her, but she still felt scared.
