Daughter Of Rebellious Minister

Here, in a short and wide area, near the boundless sea.

Meng Zixian and Bai Lanxin arrived at the seaside. Not far from them, a few waterfowl were walking back and forth on the beach, their slender legs leaving small glue-marks on the beach. As the waves crashed down, those branch-shaped feet disappeared.

"Lil 'Xin, are you used to staying in this new place?" Meng Zixian's stomach was full of doubts, but she couldn't say anything. She could only probe, turning her head to look at Bai Lanxin. A pair of black agate eyes shined under the sunlight.

Bai Lanxin looked at him seriously. Then, a trace of a smile appeared on his face. There was also a smile in his eyes. This was the first time he smiled so sincerely.

"Very good."

Meng Zixian felt that there was a bitterness behind this, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. That way, the two of them wouldn't be able to face each other properly.

"That's good."

"Sister Meng, I want the status of the manager of this commercial market." Bai Lanxin looked at Meng Zixian and said very seriously.

Meng Zixian wasn't clear about this, but she had some understanding. Bai Lanxin continued, "My bargaining chip is that I am easier to control than the other clans."

"This matter is not urgent. You just need to help me pass this news back to Lord Song and the Prince."

Meng Zixian's heart was in a mess. Bai Lanxin was walking in front of her, so her speech was a bit forced, unlike the obedient Bai Lanxin from before. She was not used to it, and only when Bai Lanxin turned to look at her did she slowly nod her head and agree to this matter.

They did not converse in the mansion, but on the outside. The wind blew, and ripples appeared on the surface of the sea. The water birds flapped their wings, flew across the surface of the lake, and flew up into the sky.

Meng Zixian looked over and then looked at Bai Lanxin.

People would always part and change. Was it because he had personally taken care of his enemy that he felt a lot more at ease?

"Madam Bai Lan, did you kill him?"

Bai Lanxin didn't expect her to ask this question. She was stunned for a moment before she nodded without hesitation.

Meng Zixian let out a long sigh and asked with a casual tone, "Are you happy now?"

Bai Lan Xin turned around and looked at her, revealing an ugly smile: "I'm happy."

When Meng Zixian saw his smile, she felt her heart ache for some reason. Her eyes moistened a little. His hand was like a piece of ice-cold jade, gently sliding across her face.

"Pah!"

"I... I'm just not used to people touching me. I'm sorry. " Meng Zixian habitually slapped Bai Lan's new hand away, leaving a red mark on her white hand.

He shook his head, retracted his hand, and silently put it behind his back.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first."

Meng Zixian left in a hurry. Bai Lanxin called out to her loudly, "Zixian!"

It was the first time that she didn't dare to turn her head when someone called her name so intimately. When Bai Lanxin looked at her, there were thoughts in his eyes that she didn't understand, and she didn't dare to do anything.

His steps became faster. With his back facing Bai Lan Xin, he shouted, "I still have matters to take care of. I'll head back first!"

What she didn't know was that when Bai Lanxin saw her walk away, his long and thick eyelashes slightly trembled, his eyelids covering half of his eyes, and his gloomy expression.

At this moment, the sun was also covered by white clouds, and the sky slowly darkened.

Meng Zixian ran back as if she was escaping. Just as she arrived at the gate, she ran into Song Que and Gu Jing Cheng.

"Everyday running around, you're not doing your job!" When Song Que saw her, he said and left in a weird tone.

His eyes were wide open as he looked innocently at Song Que's back. Gu Jing Cheng walked forward and explained: "Everything hasn't been going well recently, and the situation is not right. Plus, we saw you and Bai Lan Xin together outside earlier, we were just worried."

"What does it have to do with Lil 'Xin?" Meng Zixian murmured.

Gu Jing Cheng was preparing to enter, so she quickly pulled on his sleeves: "Little Xin told me, please consider him as the person in charge, because he is easy to control."

Gu Jing Cheng stopped in his tracks. With a serious expression on his face, he said, "Miss Meng, don't get involved in this matter anymore."

"Try to stay in the manor for the next few days. Don't go out."

Meng Zijing wanted to ask the reason, but Gu Jingcheng had already turned and left.

Had something happened here that she didn't know about?

Meng Zixian's face was filled with suspicion as he mysteriously entered the mansion.

Although she didn't know what had happened, Meng Zian still stayed in the mansion obediently.

In reality, Song Que didn't know if it was wind stroke or something else. He arranged for people to keep close to him and even sent people to guard him.

Meng Zixian looked at the two lackeys beside her and gloomily glanced at the two lackeys behind her.

"This is so boring!"

He had originally thought that he would come out for a sightseeing trip, but in the end he had been imprisoned inside the mansion like this. He felt extremely depressed in his heart.

On this day, Meng Zixian was eating dinner when she saw Song Que coming back angrily. Gu Jingcheng was walking slowly behind her with a serious expression on his face.

"What's going on? Didn't you all receive Duke Huai An's invitation to eat? " She originally wanted to follow, but Song Que didn't want to and wanted to keep them.

The two of them went to the study in silence. Meng Zixian followed them, intending to listen at the corner only to be found out.

"Every day, one has to be cautious. Doing more than what one can accomplish is more than enough!" Song Que said angrily.

Meng Zixian was stumped by his unfathomable words and immediately retorted, "Yes, Master Song is a true pillar of talent, a pillar of talent, and a weak girl. How shameless."

"You!"

"Enough, stop arguing!" Gu Jingcheng interrupted him and said in an irritated tone.

"Miss Meng, if you wish to understand the situation, please sit."

"Let's get on with it."

Meng Zixian found a place to sit down and the two began to talk.

Hearing that, Meng Zixian deduced that the banquet today was actually a Hongmen feast. A good wine and good meat served, and there would definitely be a beauty accompanying them. However, after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere started to turn bad.

They were threatened and given three days to consider. Since there were layers of guards outside, there was no way they could escape.

"Are we caged beasts?"

The conclusion was just this one sentence.

There weren't many people left who had been attacked from both the front and back. If they were to fight, it would be akin to hitting a stone with an egg. This was clearly not a wise choice.

"What do they want us to agree to?"

"Send a decree to the Emperor to send back the good news and to never return to the city."

"Then if I don't comply, then it means …" Mencius made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Gu Jingcheng nodded and continued, "They have the entire ship under their control. We are in a passive position."

Meng Zixian was lost in thought, and then suddenly thought of something.
