Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 234: Really spineless

Bingxiang's voice trembled, "It's... it's because Sister Hehua has always been by Madam's side, and I have never entered the house to serve her, so I was nervous, so..."

Shen Nankui laughed, "What are you afraid of? I don't eat people."

"It is precisely because Madam treats me so kindly that I entered the room to serve you and wanted to do everything to the best of my ability in order to leave a good impression on you. However, I did not expect that the more I wanted to do well, the more I messed up things..."

Although she had not been in the Deshui Lane house for long, she knew that working for Shen Nankui, in addition to doing the work of a servant, there was also a chance that she would be promoted to be in charge of business matters. But looking at Hehua and Zhongshan, she could tell that both of them were dressed extraordinary, so the reward must be extremely generous.

Therefore, since it was a rare opportunity for her to serve Shen Nankui, she wanted to show off.

Unfortunately, it backfired...

Shen Nankui understood, "It's good that you have this ambition, but you shouldn't be too impatient. I won't pursue you today. There won't be a next time for something like this."

"I will keep this in mind. Thank you, Madam, for your magnanimity!"

"Okay, go down first. I'll call you if there's anything."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Bingxiang left the house with a frustrated look on her face.

Shen Nankui had been busy for half a day and felt a little tired. He couldn't help thinking that it would be great if He Hua was here. She was the one who understood his feelings best. With her help in things like preparing gifts, he wouldn't have to worry too much.

As this thought crossed my mind, I saw a smiling face appear at the door.

Shen Nankui was stunned. "You went to Yunxi Ancient Town, but you came back so soon? I thought you would be back in the afternoon."

Hehua walked up to her with a smile and poured her a cup of tea.

The hot tea that was boiling hot before was now at the right temperature. Shen Nankui took two sips and asked, "How is the situation over there, Miss Tao?"

Hehua did not respond.

"Hehua?" Shen Nankui called again.

Hehua pretended not to hear anything and just focused on organizing the things in the boxes. There was a weird air about him.

Shen Nankui sighed and sat up straight with some caution, "Jin Feishuang?"

"It took you so long to figure that out? If you were an enemy, you would have been dead long ago!"

Jin Feishuang stood up and walked over, sat down beside her, took out the wooden box and began to remove his disguise.

Shen Nankui understood the hidden meaning of her words, "Ms. Jin is not an enemy, so why did you come to see me today?"

After Jin Feishuang removed his disguise, he said, "Let me ask you a question first. Why didn't you pursue the matter after I treated you like that?"

Shen Nankui answered honestly: "Because it is difficult to investigate, I don't want to offend someone who can easily enter my inner bedroom."

Jin Feishuang smiled and said with some disdain: "You are very sensible, but you are really spineless. It's not funny at all."

She originally thought that with Shen Nankuizhou's status as a distinguished lady, if the original plan succeeded, it would be a revenge for the prefect Gu for stealing his wife, and he would not let her go easily. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably send troops to capture her everywhere.

She hadn't been out for a long time, and wanted to play hide-and-seek with the government and tease them, but after so much time, nothing happened, which made her a little disappointed.

Shen Nankui said, "Miss Jin, you are wrong. I was not seriously injured this time and I don't want to pursue the matter. If you really hurt me, I will not hold back, not to mention the government. Even if you have such a high skill as the art of disguise, and it is not easy to be caught, I still have ways to make you live in the martial arts world uneasy."

She wasn't speaking nonsense.

Jin Feishuang can indeed be fearless relying on her disguise skills, but as the saying goes, money makes the world go round. There are many people in the world who live on the edge of a knife. If they really annoy her, she will have her own ways to make Jin Feishuang suffer.

"Okay, I take that back then."

Jin Feishuang shrugged indifferently, seeming that he didn't take it to heart.

Shen Nankui didn't mind. She took a sip of tea and asked, "Miss Jin, you came to see me today for more than just this, right?"

Jin Feishuang sighed, "I want to ask you to help me."

After hearing this, Shen Nankui was stunned and looked at her with some confusion.

Although she did not pursue what Jin Feishuang had done, the two of them did have a grudge against each other. Moreover, Jin Feishuang was full of hostility towards her, so why would he suddenly come to her for help?

Jin Feishuang lazily clasped his fists and said, "As the rule of the martial arts world, a smile can end all grudges. Since you drank the tea I poured, how about we write off the past?"

"Okay." Shen Nankui nodded.

Jin Feishuang said: "You said before that you and I are both friends of A Ling, and we are also family. Do you still agree with this?"

Shen Nankui said: "As long as you don't do anything to me anymore, I will accept it."

Jin Feishuang smiled cheerfully, "Okay, now that we've talked about it, we can be considered to have dealt with each other before. I want to ask you to help me persuade A Ling. If you succeed, I'll owe you a favor."

"What happened between you and Mr. Cai?"

"A Ling wants to send me back to the East China Sea."

Jin Feishuang sighed, and his originally energetic face suddenly dimmed.

"Uh..." Shen Nankui paused before saying, "But your legs are on your own body, and you can disguise yourself. If you don't want to leave, who can force you?"

Jin Feishuang looked distressed. "That's what I said, but once I change my appearance, I can't appear next to A Ling. Then what's the point of me staying in Yongzhou? But once I show up, he will force me with a sword. How can I beat him?"

She rolled up her sleeves to show her a sword wound that had just scabbed over.

"A Ling...he's serious this time."

Her lover was using a sword against her without mercy, so how could she have the leisure to be jealous of Shen Nankui?

Now she just hoped that A Ling would not be angry with her and would not chase her away.

Shen Nankui looked at the hideous sword wound on her arm and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Jin Feishuang continued, "Shen Nankui, even if there is really nothing between you and A Ling, you are different in his heart after all. If you speak up, he will definitely listen. Besides, you and I have forgotten our grudges, so he shouldn't bother me again for what happened last time, isn't that right?"

Shen Nankui nodded, "Indeed."

"Then you won't help me?"

Shen Nankui thought for a moment and said, "I can try to persuade Mr. Cai, but the rift between you two doesn't seem to be limited to this one. I can't guarantee whether he can forgive you."

Seeing that she agreed, Jin Feishuang breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as I can get him to stop chasing me away first, we can talk about other things later!"
