I made the villain right.

Chapter 21 Xu Wuchen's Threat

In the early morning, the sun rises, red light fills the window, and the morning light coming through the window illuminates the house.

After breakfast, Shi Jin went to the study. When she arrived, she found Lin Yang was already waiting for her there. She thought he had gained something last night.

When Shi Jin saw Lin Yang, he seemed to be in a good mood and greeted him happily: "Good morning, Guard Lin, you can have breakfast."

He was stunned for a moment, then he calmed down and said calmly: "Miss, I have already had dinner."

Shi Jin sat down in front of the desk and said expectantly, "Guard Lin found a suspicious person last night."

"That's right. Last night I found a maid sneaking out. She went to the wall near the street in the East Garden. There was a loose wall on the wall that could convey information to the foreign minister. She left a note saying "I'm going to the Yue Lao Temple to pray for marriage." But it was dark at night and she was wearing a cloak, so I couldn't see her clearly."

Hearing this, Jin's eyes darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It doesn't matter if I can't see her face clearly. People who have done something wrong will feel guilty. I will make her reveal herself."

"Miss, are you going to remove the eyeliner now?" Seeing her say that, Zhilu asked her about her plan.

Shi Jin smiled lightly, she put away the smile on her face, her eyes were deep, and she said calmly: "Don't worry, wait until I go to the Yue Lao Temple to chat for a while, settle some things with him, and then come back to deal with her."

Let her have her fun first, there is another scene to be performed later.

It just so happened that she also wanted to see what the Yue Lao Temple looked like and make a wish, although she knew it might be of no use and was just for psychological comfort.

So Shi Jin and Zhi Lu took a car to Yue Lao Temple together.

A few hours later.

Shi Jin finally climbed to the Yue Lao Temple. The Yue Lao Temple was built in the mountains, surrounded by mountains, with beautiful scenery and secluded environment.

When Shi Jin stepped into Yue Lao Temple, he still saw the scene of "winding paths leading to secluded places, and Zen rooms surrounded by flowers and trees".

The temple was filled with smoke, the sound of chimes and bamboos, and people came and went.

Shi Jin walked around for a while, and Zhilu pulled her to the courtyard where people burned incense and prayed for marriage. Zhilu excitedly said, "Miss, let's come and pray. I heard it's very effective."

"it is good"

Seeing Shi Jin agreed and handed her three incense sticks, she also took three sticks, lit them up, and the two of them bowed together. After the bow, they put the incense in the incense burner.

Behind them is a marriage tree, and many people are making wishes around it. The tree is full of prayer ribbons, all of which are praying for Yue Lao to grant a good marriage. A red ribbon among the green leaves is particularly eye-catching. The marriage tree carries people's good wishes. Standing under the tree and looking at it, it gives people a mysterious and beautiful feeling.

Shi Jin turned around and found a table next to her with prayer ribbons and writing brushes on it. One of the reasons she came here today was to make a wish, so she hurried over and said politely, "Little Taoist priest, please give us a prayer ribbon."

Seeing this, the young Taoist handed her two prayer belts. She gave one to Zhilu and picked up the pen on the table. Suddenly, she had a doubt and asked casually, "Can we only pray for marriage in Yue Lao Temple?" She actually wanted to make a wish so that she could go back earlier.

Facing Shi Jin's sudden not-so-smart look, Zhi Lu was stunned, and then asked her back: "What else?"

Hearing this, Jin smiled lazily, as if he was amused by the stupid question he had just asked.

Shi Jin thought for a moment and then started writing. Soon she finished. However, Zhilu on the side was still racking her brains, not knowing what to write. She did not start writing for a long time. After a while, she slowly started writing. She was curious about what Zhilu was writing, so she secretly leaned over to take a look at Zhilu's red rope, wanting to see what she had written, but she quickly blocked it after she noticed it, and she saw nothing.

Zhilu said coquettishly, "Miss, please don't peek. If you do, your wish will not come true." Then he carefully prevented her from writing and looked at her every time he wrote a word.

Shi Jin was conquered by her appearance and had to compromise: "Okay, I won't read it, you just write well."

After Zhilu finished writing, the two walked to the marriage tree to hang it up. Zhilu walked around the tree, trying to find a good place to hang it, but all the lower places were full.

"Miss, many places that are shorter are already full. We can only hang it higher. I'll find a ladder to hang it up." Then she looked around.

Qinggong is a good thing. Zhilu doesn't need to get the ladder at all.

So she said, "No need to look for a ladder, just leave it to me." She took the prayer belt from Zhilu's hand, used her lightness skills, and jumped onto the tree trunk. She looked around and then climbed up, wanting to hang higher.

Seeing this, Zhilu under the tree was worried about her. She said anxiously: "Miss, it's fine in that position. You don't have to climb up anymore. It's dangerous."

"I hung it higher and closer to Yue Lao, so that Yue Lao can see our wishes first."

Zhilu stared at Shi Jin's eyes in a daze, and found this statement very novel. "There is actually such a saying." She learned it today.

Shi Jin found a suitable spot on the treetop and hung the prayer belt. Then she fell down, her clothes fluttering, her hair flowing, and her graceful figure landing lightly on the ground. She was dressed in white, like an elf that had fallen into the mortal world.

Zhilu couldn't help but stare in amazement. The young lady was so beautiful. She usually kept her head down before, fearing to anger her and failing to appreciate her beauty.

When Shi Jin came down, she saw Zhilu staring at her in a daze, so she gently woke her up and said, "Zhilu, Zhilu, what are you daydreaming about?"

Hearing this, Zhilu came back to his senses, looked at her with a faint smile, shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Suddenly, she heard a little girl next to her say to her companion: "I heard that if this prayer belt is picked up by a destined person, the two will be bound together for life."

Shi Jin didn't take it seriously and thought these girls were too superstitious.

Then she called Zhilu and said, "Let's go, let's go somewhere else." She knew that Xu Wuchen must be waiting for her somewhere in the temple, so she had to walk around to give him a chance to perform.

When she walked into a room, a Taoist priest sitting in front of her saw her. His eyes turned and a faint light flashed across them. Then he stood up enthusiastically and asked her, "Miss, do you want to calculate your marriage?"

Shi Jin noticed something strange and her eyes flickered. It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

She said gently: "That's right"

"Miss, please come here." The Taoist priest led her to the seat in front, and Shi Jin sat there after arriving.

After seeing Shi Jin sitting down, he also sat down quickly and handed her a bucket of bamboo sticks. She took it and stared at the bucket of bamboo sticks, thinking that they were probably all the same.

Seeing her hesitation, the Taoist priest suspected that she had discovered something, so he asked nervously: "Miss, do you think there is something wrong with the stick?"

As soon as this question came up, he was completely exposed. Under normal circumstances, others would ask what happened, rather than asking what was wrong with the stick.

Shi Jin smiled at him and said, "My hands are a little numb just now. I need to relax for a while."

Hearing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few seconds, Shi Jin gently shook the bamboo skewer tube in her hand. As she shook it harder, a bamboo skewer fell out. She picked it up, glanced at it, and then handed it to him.

"Master, please help me take a look at this fortune. What does it mean?" she asked politely.

The Taoist priest pondered and said, "You have reached the right time and found a good partner. The sky will never grow old and the love will never end. This is a good fortune in marriage."

He put on an unfathomable look, thought for a while, and then said: "Today is the best time for you to find a good match. You may meet your destined person on this day. Once you are married, this relationship will never be broken."

She suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is," and looked very expectant.

Shi Jin walked out of the house and headed towards a forest path in a Zen temple, when he suddenly ran into Xu Wuchen coming towards him.

Shi Jin asked Zhilu to wait for her on the other side first. She had something to say to Xu Wuchen and was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to be here.

Zhilu walked to the small courtyard at the side and kept observing the situation over there.

When Xu Wuchen saw her, he looked very surprised. He said, "What a coincidence, how come Miss Shi is here?" This was the first line he said every time they met, and it was as annoying as ever.

"Of course you come to Yue Lao Temple to seek marriage. Could it be that Your Highness the Second Prince comes here just to hang out?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"Of course not. I'm also here to seek marriage." He had been following her all the way, deliberately creating an encounter here. The Taoist priest in the temple was deliberately arranged by him to make her believe that he was her destined man.

"Your Highness's marriage should be granted by His Majesty's decree. There is no need for Your Highness to come and ask for it in person."

Hearing her say this, he was delighted, thinking that she was worried that he would not be able to decide his own marriage, so he quickly explained: "That's not entirely true. If I meet someone I like, I can ask my father for permission to marry me."

She continued to interrogate, "How did the Second Prince draw today?"

"Miss Shi, could you please tell me what lot you drew?"

"I drew a good lot. The Taoist priest told me that I will meet my ideal husband today," she said without hiding anything.

"Did you feel at that time that our meeting today was a kind of fate?"

She couldn't help but express her feelings now, Shi Jin was secretly sarcastic in his heart.

She then pretended not to understand the meaning of his words and asked in confusion: "What's the matter with that?" She deliberately provoked him to say it out loud.

"I want to ask, could I be Miss Shi's ideal husband?"

Hearing this, Shi Jin chuckled. Xu Wuchen frowned when he heard her mocking laughter. He became angry and stared at her with deep eyes. He asked in a cold voice: "Why are you laughing, Miss Shi? Do you think I am not worthy of you?"

Shi Jin restrained his smile, regained his calm expression, waved his hand, and said with a little surprise: "Of course not, I didn't expect that His Highness would like me who has a bad reputation."

Seeing Shi Jin's surprised look, Xu Wuchen was still satisfied. She thought that it was a blessing she had earned in her previous life that a prince of such a noble status could like a vulgar person like her.

So he looked into Shi Jin's eyes, with three parts of pride and two parts of disgust in his eyes. Humph, she is quite self-aware. For someone like her, no one would be willing to marry her except him. She should be grateful to him.

So he quickly struck while the iron was hot and added fuel to the fire, "Miss Shi, I have already fallen in love with you since the first time I met you."

What Shi Jin didn't know was that there was a familiar figure passing by behind her, and he looked at her twice before leaving.

Fan Hua was following a suspicious man all the way here, but he didn't expect to run into someone confessing their love. The man was Shi Jin and the Second Prince, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances before leaving.

After Xu Wuchen made his passionate confession, he thought that Shi Jin would be moved by him and agree to his request, so he waited for Shi Jin's reply with anticipation.

Shi Jin's eyes rolled around, and after thinking for a while, she slowly said, "I'm fortunate to have the favor of the Second Prince, and I'm very touched, but I already have someone I like, and the Prince is not a good match for me." She didn't have anyone she liked, and she said this just to fool Xu Wuchen.

Xu Wuchen's face froze, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him. He didn't expect Shi Jin to reject him so straightforwardly, and he thought that Shi Jin waited for him to express his affectionate feelings before rejecting him, intending to humiliate him and make him look bad, so anger surged in his heart. He quickly approached Shi Jin and scolded, "Bitch, don't be so ignorant. It's your blessing that I like you. You just wait obediently. When you reach the age of marriage, I will ask my father to grant me a marriage."

In anger, Xu Wuchen completely broke off relations with her and revealed his true face.

Shi Jin was not frightened by his confident remarks, but found them very funny.

She chuckled and said in a cold voice: "This blessing is too great for me to bear. Your Highness, you'd better put it in your pocket. There is no way I will marry you. Your Highness should give up the idea of ​​me as soon as possible." Her attitude was very tough, and half of her face showed fear.

Then Shi Jin was about to turn around and leave, but Xu Wuchen stopped her and whispered in her ear, "You really don't want to marry me? You even don't care about the lives of your family. Have you forgotten that your eldest brother was poisoned?" His words were provocative and contained an undisguised threat.

After that, he distanced himself from her and admired her expression with an evil smile, which was full of malice.

Hearing this, Shi Jin's pupils suddenly shrank, and suddenly a layer of coldness filled her eyes. He had touched her bottom line.

Her eyes changed slightly, a dangerous light flashed, and the internal force in her body surged instantly.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang", he was pushed hard against a tree trunk beside him.

For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, revealing an invisible pressure.

Zhilu, who was standing by, saw the two of them suddenly start fighting. His heart was in his throat and he paced back and forth, looking very anxious.

Xu Wuchen didn't expect Shi Jin to attack him. He was caught off guard and received a heavy blow on his back. He frowned in pain instantly, but he couldn't show it too obviously in front of Shi Jin, otherwise he would lose his momentum.

He was furious and said angrily: "Shi Jin, you are so brave to beat the prince."

Shi Jin ignored his words, a hint of red flashed on his tail, and he stared at him with a blazing gaze, saying coldly: "My eldest brother was poisoned by you."

He chuckled and did not give a direct answer, but instead said in suspense: "Guess"

A hint of hostility flashed in Shi Jin's eyes, and he said coldly: "If you dare to touch my family, I don't mind fighting you to the death." His tone was firm and full of oppression.

Then she released her hand that was against his, turned and left without looking back. Seeing this, Zhilu hurriedly followed.

Xu Wuchen looked at Shi Jin's departing back. He swallowed and felt a little scared.
