Lin Yu took Xu Zhilan and others to take a hot spring bath. She had someone cleaned up here and asked the maid to guard the surroundings, so there would be no idle people coming in.

The hot springs in the mountains were covered with sulfur. When they entered, they smelled a big smell of sulfur. The huge pond was filled with smoke. At this moment, night fell, lanterns were hung on the trees around the hot springs, making the place look like daytime.

In the Tangchi, Lin Huan was already taking Chu Jiating and others to soak. While eating the snacks brought by the maid, everyone seemed to be in a good mood.

Situ Yanhua and Xu Jingen got down from the Tangchi, Funing and Qin Wanrou sat by the pond, with their feet soaked in water.

Zhaoyang saw that the soup pool was crowded with people, and then saw Qin Wanrou bent down and rub her feet with both hands. She suddenly felt disgusted and didn't want to go down.

"I don't know where Xinyu and the others are?" Zhaoyang looked at the entrance and said to Lin Yu, thinking to himself, if she had known that there were so many people, she would not have come. She originally thought that there were only Fu Yinghuan and Funing, but Lin Huan was there, and there were a few girls she brought, she would not look at.

Like Chu Xinyu, she was a little obsessed with cleanliness. Besides, she was a princess, but she shared a pond with these people with lower identities. She felt disgusted when she thought about it.

Lin Yu said: "Maybe you go back to Juyuan for dinner, or you go to find them first, I'll go there soon."

Chu Xinyu and the others were her guests. Lin Yu felt sorry for letting them go alone. Now that Zhaoyang is leaving, she can't ask for it. Later, she will use Zhaoyang as an excuse to go out.

"Okay, I'll sneak out quietly, you can sneak out later by asking me." Zhaoyang's thoughts were as thought as Lin Yu.

When Xu Zhilan came over, Zhaoyang had already left. He didn't see her, so he asked Lin Yu: "Where is Zhaoyang?"

Lin Yu said, "She said she forgot to bring some things, and the maid didn't know where she put them. She went back to search and came back later."

Xu Zhilan had no doubts and walked to Funing and sat down. She did not change her clothes. She only soaked her feet in water like Funing.

Lin Yu glanced at them and glanced at them. Needless to say, there were so many people in the pool, Fu Yinghua and Fu Ning would not go into the water. They occupied this place, just not wanting Chu Xinyu and the others to come.

"Yu, it's very comfortable to soak your feet." Funing raised her hand.

Lin Yu was not willing to refuse, so he went over and sat down like them, lifted up his skirt, took off his shoes, and let his feet be soaked in water.

Funing turned his head to Lin Yu and said, "Will we go on a horse tomorrow? We didn't ride a horse. Can we each pick up a horse in your third brother's horse shed?"

Lin Yu thought for a while and said, "You ask my third brother, those horses are his treasures, and the horses he raises are not necessarily suitable for you to ride. If there is anything, I can't take responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Funing looked at Xu Zhilan, and the two of them silently met with one look. She continued to ask: "Isn't your arrangement tomorrow riding a horse? Then where are you riding?"

"It was Yang Qianjun who asked them to ride three horses and they were temporarily raised in the horse farm." Lin Yuyuan didn't want to say that, but he was afraid that they would come to grab the horses again tomorrow, so he had to tell them that the horses they rode tomorrow were brought by Yang Qianjun.

Funing looked at Lin Yu and said, "We also want to ride a horse, what should we do?"

Lin Yu was silent. She had expected them to come. For the sake of everyone having horses tomorrow, she begged the third brother for a long time before he let go of them to go to the horse shed to choose horses tomorrow.

Now that Funing and the others want to ride, Lin Huan's strong temperament will definitely want it, but she can let the third brother let it go because she pulled Chu Xinyu in and said that she wanted to ride a horse, but there were no horses. He asked her to go to the third horse shed to choose a horse, where the horses there are more gentle.

But if Funing and the others are coming, she cannot favor one or the other. She only chooses Chu Xinyu and others, but not Funing and the others. She is the master. If she is not well taken care of, her ability will be questioned.

Seeing her silent, Xu Zhilan said, "Forget it, if we make things difficult for us to stop riding a horse, Funing, you don't have only one chance to ride a horse. Next time we are free, go to the green horse farm in the suburbs and bring my fifth brother with me. Miss Ke Er treats my fifth brother the best, she will definitely help us choose a few good horses."

Lin Yu felt nervous when he heard this. The Green Horse Farm belonged to the Ke family. The horse farm was very large. Some aristocratic families in the capital liked to go there to race horses and play polo. The second girl in the Ke family was like a boy and was cheerful. It is well known that she liked Fu Guanzhang. If Fu Yingfu took her fifth brother to ride a horse there, wouldn’t she create a chance for Miss Ke Er?

But while thinking this way, I couldn't help but complain about Fu Yinghua. Isn't she threatening herself by saying this?

"Okay, I won't ride a horse anymore. Anyway, I'll have a chance in the future." Funing glanced at Lin Yu who was still silent, and felt unhappy. Could it be that Chu Xinyu and others were more important in her heart than those of them who had been in love for ten years?

Lin Yu didn't want to break up with them, so he said, "You want to ride a horse, I have to ask my third brother. You don't know his personality. He doesn't like others touching his things."

I asked them to ask Lin Chenyao before, but they dared to ask. Now Lin Yu took a step back, and the smile on Funing's face spread out, "If you don't say anything, you can ask Chu Xinyu to ask. They are unmarried couples. She spoke, your third brother has no reason to disagree."

How could Lin Yu not hear what she meant? When the fish was grilling, the third brother sat down next to Chu Xinyu and ate the fish she grilled with her. Although the two of them didn't say much, everyone could see that the third brother had been sitting next to her, without looking at Fu Yinghua at all, while Fu Yinghua's eyes frequently looked at them.

Funing said this to mock Chu Xinyu. She knew that the third brother's treasures his horses would be lent out if anyone said that, let alone borrowing horses for the rival. If the third brother didn't lend them, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

But Funing took himself too seriously. How could Chu Xinyu help them ask their third brother for borrowing horses? Then he said, "If I can't do it, you can ask him by yourself if you want to ride."

"We also think about it, just because we are afraid that someone will misunderstand it and say that we deliberately approach your third brother. After all, your third brother's current identity is different from before."

Funing didn't explain it very clearly, but everyone who heard her words understood what she meant. Now Lin Chenyao is Chu Xinyu's fiancé. If a girl talks to him, she might get angry when she sees her. This clearly implies that Chu Xinyu is a stingy and unreasonable person.

Lin Yu was unhappy. Funing was not such a person before. She was usually very quiet and didn't speak aggressively, but what happened to her today? She always liked to pull Chu Xinyu in when speaking. If she did, she would squeeze her in. How many words would she say?

"She is not that kind of person." Lin Yu no longer had the patience to say this to them here. She raised her eyes and looked around twice, and changed the topic: "Why did Zhaoyang go to so long? I wonder if I'm lost, I'll go see her."

After saying that, she lifted her legs out of the water, took the clean handkerchief handed by the maid, wiped her feet drying the water, and put on her shoes.

"You guys go first, I'll go back."

Funing and Xu Zhilan didn't say anything until she took the maid away, Funing said, "Look, she really went there. She wouldn't talk perfunctorily before."

Xu Zhilan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Who told me that I don't have the ability to become her future third sister-in-law?"

Funing sneered, "It's too early to make a conclusion now."

Xu Zhilan was stunned, "What do you mean?"

At this time, Funing's maid came in from outside, walked to her, and whispered: "Girl, I've found out."

"explain."

"Mr. Fu Wu and Prince Chu and others were drinking in the flower hall in Zhuyuan, but the Marquis of Peking was in Huazhaoxuan and never came out."

Upon hearing this, Funing blinked at Xu Zhilan, "Yinghua, your chance is here."

Xu Zhilan looked at her without understanding.

Funing said: "Don't you want to talk to him alone?"

"You mean..." Funing said that he understood so much. Xu Zhilan finally understood what she meant. "This is not OK. My identity and I are wrong now. If someone discovers it, I..."

Funing interrupted her and said, "So what if you find out? Didn't you listen to me and Lin Yu just now? You are going to ask him about borrowing horses. With Lin Yu as a testimony, who dares to say that your purpose is not simple."

"But……"

"Don't do it." Funing interrupted her again and asked, "Do you still like him?"

After asking, I felt ridiculous again.

How could she not like such an excellent man, even Jing'an couldn't help but like him secretly, and she... but she regarded Fu Yinghua as a friend. She would not rob the man her friend liked, and she would even suppress her love.

In the past two years, she could see that every time Fu Yinghua talked about Lin Chenyao, the beautiful smile on their face made them jealous, because Lin Chenyao was too cold and never smiled at other girls, nor did he get close to any girl, except Fu Yinghua. I heard that he had always worn the long-lived strands that Fu Yinghua gave her when he was a child, and Fu Yinghua also always wore the jade pendant he gave her. Both of them gave each other tokens, how could they have no love?

"I don't know." Xu Zhilan murmured, "I haven't thought about it carefully yet..."

She had never thought that one day Lin Chenyao would fall in love with another girl. She always thought that he loved Fu Yinghua and loved her deeply and would not change her mind, so she pursued that position without fear.

She thought that even if she fell in love with other men and married to another man, he would always silently protect himself and assist him in that position like he did in his previous life.

Until today, she appeared in front of him with that woman, and he didn't even look at her. Xu Zhilan suddenly realized that the man who cared for her silently over the years and said that he could marry her, there could be other girls in his eyes, gentle, considerate, and even more considerate to other girls.

At that moment, she realized it and felt heartache.

Clear, sharp, heartache.

The irony of the most is that she had the opportunity to become his wife and let him hold it in his palm to care for her, but because of her greed, she missed the opportunity in vain.

But then I realized that she didn't want to lose this man, especially the woman who would spend her life with this man was her enemy in her previous life and the person she hated the most in this life.

"Funing, don't worry about my business. He now has a fiancée, and I have my bottom line. I won't be someone else's concubine, let alone the Lin family will not let him take a concubine."

Xu Zhilan lowered her eyes and said, Funing suddenly noticed that a drop of water fell to the water surface, one drop or two...

Fu Ningxin suddenly felt like she was being pinched by something, and then heard her say, "It would be fine if it was an ordinary engagement, but they had the emperor's oral orders, and he personally promised that he would marry her. Could it be that I wanted him to resist the order for me? I wanted him to be a person who was untrustworthy? In this way, how could he lead the three armies in the future? How could he convince his subordinates who followed him?"

"..." Funing had nothing to say for a moment.

Xu Zhilan said: "No matter what, when I turn 18, I will follow the arrangements of my family."

Fu Ning suddenly stood up in anger, "Fu Ying-hwa, you are so spineless. You can tell him clearly now. What you like is him. No matter what, you must let him change his mind. Isn't that what the princess wants you to come here? If you decide to be together, I believe she will definitely have a way to get rid of this marriage without putting it into the real world."

After saying that, she pulled Xu Zhilan up, asked the maid to wipe her feet with a clean veil, put on her shoes, and then said, "He promised to marry you. Now that he married another woman, he would be untrustful. Don't you make things difficult for him. Do you want to watch him marry another woman for nothing and regret it forever?"

Xu Zhilan seemed to have been hit hard with a hammer on her chest, and her entire soul was almost shocked.

"Also, Lin Chenyao can get married to anyone, whether it is happy or pampered, but that person must not be Chu Xinyu."

I don’t know if I was shocked by Funing’s words or remembered something, Xu Zhilan stood still without moving, trembling slightly.

Funing's words expressed her heart. She thought deeply inside her that this is what she thought. Anyone can marry Lin Chenyao, but Chu Xinyu can't. If Chu Xinyu marry Lin Chenyao and she is reborn, wouldn't it be a joke?

Chu Xinyu is her old enemy. If it weren't for her in her previous life, she wouldn't have died so wronged. If she did this life, she became her biggest competitor. With the painting side alone, she would not allow other girls to steal her limelight, otherwise Lin Chenyao would not question her ability.

That’s right, anyone can do it, but Chu Xinyu can’t!

Funing didn't care whether she wanted it or not, so she pulled her out. The girls in the pool were soaking comfortably. Many of them leaned against the edge of the pool, closed their eyes and enjoyed quietly. Some of them were playing in the pool, and they didn't pay attention to the movements on their side. Only Chu Jiating kept paying attention and quietly followed them after they walked out.

"What did you say? Chu Xinyu and the others were bathing in Chunhui Garden?" Chu Jiating just went out and heard Funing's low voice came, "Didn't it mean that there is only one hot spring in Yingshui Villa? Why is there one in Chunhui Garden?"

Chu Jiating then heard the maid say, "I heard it is for personal use and not open to the public."

Do you think Xu Zhilan is very good at acting? Funing was taken advantage of by her pitiful appearance again. Poor girl, I wonder if she is as lucky as Jing'an.
