37 His Question

"Miss." Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were both a little alert and protected in front of Ye Lily.

Shouting loudly would be too improper. Moreover, this young man was dressed richly and was very noble and handsome, which made people wonder about his identity.

But after all, he was a stranger. Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were always afraid of something unexpected.

"Gu Yu, Jing Zhe, you guard at the entrance of the forest." Ye Lily said.

"But miss..." The two were a little hesitant.

"Go." Ye Lily frowned slightly.

Somehow, she was good at giving orders. Whenever she ordered the maids to do something, she would have a strange kind of dignity that made people dare not refuse.

Jing Zhe and Gu Yu had to retreat to the entrance of the forest.

"You are interesting." Xiao Jack leaned against the tree trunk and looked at her playfully.

Clearly a young master of noble birth, but his eyes were as sharp as the blood blade on the battlefield. Even his plain tone could bring out a chilly coldness.

After all, he had seen blood on the battlefield.

"What does Lord Xiao want to say?" Ye Lily asked.

Xiao Jack's sudden appearance was certainly not for casual chat. This person was young but had his own ideas. Even the old lord couldn't control him.

So he did things more freely and people couldn't figure him out.

"Prince Yu's mansion is still lacking a princess. That cripple seems to have his eyes on you. I want to say congratulations." His tone was unclear.

But calling Prince Yu a "cripple" was very bold. But when Xiao Jack said it, it carried a hint of contempt and mockery, as if Prince Yu was just a dirty thing.

This person had a very high spirit.

Ye Lily thought in her heart but didn't show it on her face.

She forgot whether this calm look in the other person's eyes represented something. Xiao Jack suddenly took a step forward.

He was very tall and Ye Lily was completely covered in his shadow.

The purple-robed youth slightly bent down and leaned close to her ear and said, "You knew it already."

The young man smelled nice of cold bamboo.

His voice was deliberately lowered, with an ambiguous magnetism. This action was also ambiguous.

Ye Lily looked up.

That handsome face was right in front of her and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, adding a hint of evil that knew everything to his smile.

But she wasn't a real young girl.

She just lowered her eyes and said, "So what if I knew? And what if I didn't?"

Seeing that she was indifferent, Xiao Jack was too lazy to act like a playboy.

He pushed her away without pity and raised a paper letter with a frivolous smile, "You knew but weren't worried about your own business. Instead, you worried about the second young master of Jing Dian Shi family?"

Ye Lily's eyes moved suddenly and then stared at him tightly.

Her tone involuntarily carried a bit of fierceness, "Is Lord Xiao too nosy?"

"You are nervous about a piece of paper." Xiao Jack returned to his cynical look.

"What relationship do you have with the second young master of Jing Dian Shi family? Why do you help him? Or... Miss Ye, what are you planning?"

Ye Lily's face was as calm as water and stared at the paper in Xiao Jack's hand.

The paper was thin but it was a heavy stone in her heart.

It was the "Strategy for Laws" that she had written for a long time.

In her previous life, Hao was discovered by Xu Hao because of this strategy and was recruited as his advisor from then on to plan for Xu Hao's empire.

Now he hasn't shown his talent yet.

Ye Lily wanted to cut off this possibility before. Not only that, it was the safest way for Hao never to serve the royal family.

And the second young master of Jing Dian Shi family, Gao Yan, was a new noble in Ding Jing City besides the ancient noble families with long heritage.

The royal family of Ming Qi wanted to suppress the old noble families and naturally support the new ones. The Jing Dian Shi family was the most prominent one among the newly supported ones.

The eldest son of Jing Dian Shi family, Gao Jin, was truly talented.

Later, when Xu Hao ascended the throne, he promoted him vigorously. The Jing Dian Shi family was favored and became more and more domineering.

And this Gao Yan... Even coveted her Qing.

If she wasn't the empress of the six palaces at that time and Xu Hao hadn't started to deal with the Ye family, maybe Qing would have been in danger.

This Gao Yan was less talented than his elder brother and was very vain.

He always liked to claim his elder brother's achievements as his own. He was vengeful and narrow-minded. Anyway, he was just a troublemaker.

In the previous life, Gao Yan didn't enter the official career.

In this life, the Jing Dian Shi family hasn't reached its peak yet. Gao Jin has just entered the official career. She might as well give it a push and send Gao Yan into this official career.

Giving Hao's "Strategy for Laws" to Gao Yan was because she knew that every year during the examination, Gao Yan would ask his servant to buy a test paper outside with money.

Today, Gu Yu and others replaced this test paper. With Xu Hao's character of "cherishing talents", he would surely recruit Gao Yan regardless.

And Gao Yan was vain and certainly wouldn't admit that it wasn't his work.

Such a person entered the official circle of Ming Qi... She wanted to see how these two would fight like dogs when they met Xu Hao!

Cut off Xu Hao's powerful arm and replace it with a brainless troublemaker. Ye Lily had such a good plan.

Who knew that Xiao Jack would show up halfway and ruin her plan for nothing.

Her eyes flickered as if thousands of words were gathered in her clear eyes like a young animal.

Xiao Jack finally raised his lips and said lazily, "You don't have to show such a hateful expression towards me. This letter was copied by my people. The original one is still in the hands of that young master of the Gao family."

Ye Lily was slightly stunned.

She never expected such a result. She looked at Xiao Jack, was silent for a moment, and said, "Lord Xiao is generous."

"It's not that I'm generous. It's just that I have one thing that is praised," Xiao Jack's eyes were slightly cold.

"I don't like to meddle in other people's business the most."

Just as Ye Lily was about to speak, Xiao Jack's voice came again.

"Now you can tell me why you wrote to Jing Dian Shi."

Ye Lily sighed in her heart.

Although she intended to tie the Ye and Xiao families together, it wasn't the right time yet.

The conflict between the Ye and Xiao families had lasted for a long time and couldn't be resolved overnight. She had to plan slowly.

Who knew that Xiao Jack showed up for no reason and messed up her good plan.

She didn't trust anyone.

She had her own way to go. Xiao Jack or the Xiao family was just a piece in the great cause of the world.

No one who played the game would explain the reason to the piece.

"I thought that you helped him so much unless you have an affair with him and help your lover gain fame." Xiao Jack's smile was teasing.

He looked Ye Lily up and down, "Later, I thought that although the second young master of the Gao family is useless, his taste in women is not bad."

He looked at Ye Lily.

Clearly he had very beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but they were as sharp as the wind and frost in the northwest desert.

"Also, you want to help Gao Yan, that is to help Jing Dian Shi gain reputation. But you don't help Gao Jin but the useless Gao Yan. It seems that you have bad intentions." He smiled maliciously but hit the nail on the head.

"Miss Ye, does Jing Dian Shi have a grudge against you?"
