Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 118 I should have gotten rid of this jade bracelet

"I wonder how badly that friend is injured. Han Fei still hopes to meet him. Could Miss Zi Nu introduce us?"

The information Ying Jing casually revealed was quite a blow to Han Fei, but Han Fei did not give up because of this setback.

He knew all along that there was little chance of saving this dilapidated South Korea.

If his only goal was to put into practice the idea of ​​ruling the world by law, then the Qin state was his best choice.

However, Han Fei was born in Korea and was a prince of the Korean royal family, so he could never sever ties with this country.

Han Fei may have been more talented than Li Si, but compared to Li Si, he had too many constraints and could not do as he pleased.

Legalists take the law as their standard and emphasize impartiality, but Han Fei was actually a person who valued relationships.

This is his strength, but it is also his weakness.

“Come with me, but it’s uncertain whether he’ll even want to see you.”

This time, Zi Nu did not refuse Han Fei's request.

Han Fei had already come into Wei Zhuang's sights upon his return to Korea and was listed as a potential collaborator.

Even though Ying Jing ruined the test of the Hidden Dragon Hall, he still came to the Purple Orchid Pavilion on his own today, which can be considered as him having passed the initial test.

After a while.

Zi Nu returned alone, while Han Fei and Zhang Liang remained in the room where Wei Zhuang was.

Ying Jing was not interested in what they had discussed.

With two beauties by his side, why would he be thinking about Han Fei?

"Lord Changxin seems to be very interested in Han Fei?"

Although everything seemed like a coincidence, the way so many coincidences connected together made Zi Nu feel that something was not quite right.

Perhaps this is a woman's intuition?

This Lord Changxin seems to be helping Han Fei, but he always seems to be causing trouble.

If it weren't for his involvement, Han Fei would have already gained Wei Zhuang's approval long ago.

"I have no homosexual inclinations. Compared to Han Fei, I am more interested in Miss Zi Nu."

Ying Jing smiled faintly and took a sip of fragrant tea.

Zi Nu wasn't annoyed by Ying Jing's teasing. She just smiled and glanced at Nong Yu beside her, saying, "Lord Changxin is greedy. Aren't you satisfied with having Nong Yu?"

"Sister Zi Nu is overthinking it. Chang Xin Jun and I are just friends who share a love of music."

Nongyu tried to explain, but unconsciously lowered her head as she spoke.

Zi Nu's smile remained unchanged, her narrow eyes sparkling: "I'm afraid Lord Changxin doesn't think so."

There are many sisters in Zilan Pavilion, but in Zi Nu's heart, Nongyu is undoubtedly the most special.

In this chaotic world, she would be happy if Nongyu could find a good home.

Ying Jing didn't hesitate: "Miss Nongyu is of noble character and we hit it off immediately. If Nongyu doesn't object, I can take her to Qin."

Lord Changxin has never forgotten his original intention; giving these poor beauties a home is his vision.

Nongyu is not resistant to him now, so maybe they'll become a couple?

Even if it doesn't work out, it will make Nongyu understand his feelings, which will help advance the relationship.

Faced with such blunt words, Nongyu couldn't help but look up at Ying Jing, only to meet his deep gaze.

In an instant, a blush spread across her ivory-white neck, rapidly extending to her cheeks and the base of her ears.

But she finally said in a low voice, "I appreciate Lord Changxin's kindness, but I have followed Sister Zinu since I was a child, and Zilanxuan is my home... I really don't want to be separated from Sister Zinu."

Before she could finish her sentence, Zi Nu glared at her and said through gritted teeth, "You really are my good sister."

Isn't this girl setting her up?

As the owner of a brothel like Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu was quite perceptive, and she had already discerned...

Lord Changxin may not have been a despicable nobleman who indulged in extravagance and debauchery, but he was certainly not without his share of womanizing!

They might have originally intended to take her all at once, but Nongyu's statement that she didn't want to be separated from her put her in a very difficult position.

"If Miss Zi Nu is willing, the Qin Kingdom would also welcome Zi Lan Xuan."

Ying Jing smiled faintly at Zi Nu. He had only made a casual joke, but this woman had already steered the conversation toward Nong Yu. She certainly had a lot on her mind.

"Although South Korea is small, it is still a powerful state. Although South Korea is not as strong as Qin, Zilan Pavilion has been operating here for many years, and many of the sisters have become accustomed to it. It is really hard to give it up. I hope Lord Changxin will understand."

Zi Nu was indeed very shrewd and resourceful. Even when Ying Jing steered the conversation back to her and Zi Lanxuan, she was still able to handle it with ease.

"It's alright. If Miss Zi Nu is unwilling, I will not force her."

Ying Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression remaining unchanged.

However, Wei Zhuang's judgment can be seen from Zi Nu's choice... there is still hope for Han.

Otherwise, she should have moved out of Zilanxuan on her own initiative.

Therefore, Wei Zhuang will likely continue to associate with Han Fei and provide him with assistance.

However, Ji Wuye had already delivered the 100,000 gold coins to the post station, so Han Fei's attempt to intimidate him by making a show of force was no longer possible. How would he break the deadlock this time?

During the conversation, Han Fei returned from Wei Zhuang's place, and judging from his beaming smile, he must have gotten a good result.

"It seems that the Ninth Young Master has gained something from his conversation with the disciple of Guigu."

Han Fei did not answer, but instead, in a friendly manner, pulled Ying Jing and Zhang Liang together for a drink and a chat.

Ying Jing did not refuse. If we set aside our different positions, he still liked and admired people like Han Fei.

Having gotten free drinks, Han Fei drank to his heart's content, spouting Confucian and Legalist sayings fluently until he was nearly drunk, at which point Zhang Liang helped him away.

Ying Jing wasn't in a hurry to leave. He and Nong Yu had a lot to talk about regarding music, and Ying Jing was also quite curious about the Heartstring Melody.

Unfortunately, even with Nongyu's willingness to teach him step by step, and even with him using the Purple Dragon of Luck to cheat, Ying Jing was still unable to play such wonderful music as Nongyu.

Zi Nu couldn't get a word in edgewise about the interaction between the two; she could only occasionally add some tea to their bowls.

She remained silent, serving as a qualified witness and a mere tool.

However, as time passed, Zi Nu's initially smiling expression gradually turned ugly...

She watched as Nongyu gradually went from being unaccustomed to Ying Jing's intimacy to now taking it for granted, even playing music together with his hands touching.

"What a confidant! What a greedy and amorous Lord Changxin..."

Gazing at the increasingly intimate actions of the two, Zi Nu repeatedly stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist to suppress the anger in her heart.

His expression was somewhat complicated in his long, narrow, purplish eyes.

I should have known better than to get this jade bracelet!
