If That Day Ever Comes, I’ll Kill You First
Lu Cijian was stunned. Before he could react, he reached out and grabbed Jiang Yimian’s wrist, frowning, “When did I get engaged?”
Jiang Yimian glanced at him, and said unhappily, “The engagement between Duke Anguo’s Heir and Miss Xue, as the person involved, don’t you know?
Or are you going to lie to me and say it’s fake?”
Originally, she only thought it was a rumor, but today she heard Xue Lingyu say it herself, and she realized it was true.
Looking at her appearance, the engagement was settled a long time ago.
It’s a pity she didn’t know, this guy is really good at hiding things.
It took Lu Cijian a while to remember the rumors Wang San had mentioned about the Capital these days, saying that Duke Anguo’s Residence was going to get married with the Minister of Rites’ Residence.
He never regarded himself as a member of the Marquis Residence, so he didn’t take it to heart, but he didn’t expect Mianmian to misunderstand.
He helplessly rubbed his forehead, and looked at the person in front of him seriously, “Mianmian, you know, I only have you in my heart.
That marriage has nothing to do with me, I won’t recognize it.”
The reason why he used the identity of Duke Anguo’s Heir when he returned to the Capital was just to bring Duke Anguo’s Residence to the forefront, so that people would keep an eye on it and dare not make any small moves.
He didn’t expect that he would end up harming himself.
This identity has never been useful to him.
Jiang Yimian glanced at him, only dissatisfied, “What if Duke Anguo asks the Emperor for an Imperial Marriage Decree for you?”
Although she understood in her heart that the marriage should have nothing to do with Lu Cijian and was an agreement between the Marquis Residence and the Minister’s Residence, she just felt a little awkward.
Especially after hearing Xue Lingyu say that she was going to marry Lu Cijian soon, she felt a burst of suffocation in her heart.
It was as if the person she had identified suddenly belonged to someone else.
The Young Girl spoke seriously, her beautiful eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and upon closer inspection, there seemed to be some caution, but it disappeared quickly.
Although it was very well disguised, he still quickly caught it.
She was obviously a person who rarely feared anything, but at this moment she showed such an expression.
Lu Cijian felt both distressed and amused. The nervous mood before eased down. He looked down at the Girl in front of him, and said word by word, “Mianmian, don’t worry, that won’t be possible.”
Even if it’s an Imperial Marriage Decree, it can only be for him and Mianmian.
He had already identified the person who would spend the rest of his life with him. If that person was not Mianmian, then everything he had would be meaningless.
Jiang Yimian was still staring at the person in front of her with a displeased face, as if she was still angry.
Her fair cheeks were red, and her delicate nose wrinkled slightly, before she warned, “It doesn’t matter, you know, my desire for revenge has always been very strong. If that day comes, I will definitely kill you without mercy first.”
Lu Cijian only reached out and pinched her soft little face, and said seriously, “That day will not come, Mianmian, can you trust me a little more?”
The Youth’s handsome face was filled with unprecedented seriousness, and his beautiful peach blossom Eyes only reflected her Shadow, his gaze was deep, affectionate and resolute.
Jiang Yimian was stunned, and before she could react, her lips were blocked.
Cool lips covered her lips and sucked hard, even more forcefully than every previous kiss.
The big hand pinching her chin gently stroked the skin on her neck, making her whole body tremble.
It was not until both of them were a little out of breath that Lu Cijian let go of the person in front of him, and his tall, straight nose gently rubbed against Jiang Yimian’s small earlobe, and said seriously, “Mianmian, don’t push me away, I hope you can trust me like I trust you.”
There are not many people in this world worth caring about, and Mianmian will always be in the first place.
The warm breath sprayed on her neck, Jiang Yimian only felt dizzy, but Lu Cijian was still staring at her with burning eyes.
After a while, she barely calmed her frantically beating heart, she made a pretense of calm and said, “Look at your performance.”
Lu Cijian chuckled softly, but still said seriously, “Yes, I will perform well, so, can Mianmian accept these now?”
He shook the stack of Silver Note in his hand, and directly took Jiang Yimian’s hand and put it on it, “There will be more in the future, Mianmian should familiarize herself with it first.”
The Ink Pavilion’s Industry is all over Great Jin, and what he has in his hand is just a drop in the bucket. If he didn’t have Important Matters in the Capital now, he would definitely take Mianmian to see it together.
Jiang Yimian was stunned, and was about to refuse when she heard Lu Cijian’s resentful voice, “Is there anything I didn’t do well? Mianmian.”
Jiang Yimian: …
Why didn’t she realize before that Lu Cijian also had the talent to be a scheming person.
It was almost evening, there were many pedestrians on the road, and the Two People were walking slowly on the road, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.
When they were in Qingnan, there were many things to do. They had to settle the Common People and be careful of people secretly playing tricks. The Two People were very busy.
But when they saw the smiles on the faces of those Common People again, they were actually just as happy in their hearts. It seemed that all the busyness and danger were for that moment.
Jiang Yimian was looking around when she saw a lot of people standing in the Sijing Bureau from afar, and the Guards outside were also exceptionally serious, their Eyes watching the surrounding movements like torches.
Jiang Yimian was only Curiosity, “What is the Sijing Bureau going to do? Why haven’t I seen them so serious before?”
There are some Academies near here. Every time she passed by the Sijing Bureau, there were some Scholars inside, either buying books or borrowing them, which was very lively.
But it was the first time that there were only internal people from the Sijing Bureau inside, without a single Scholar like today.
Lu Cijian Explanation, “The Imperial Examination is coming soon. This time, the Sijing Bureau is responsible for the Examination Papers of the candidates. After the questions are set, the Sijing Bureau will not open its doors for a short time until the day of the Imperial Examination.
It is estimated that they are now selecting the Officials responsible for the Examination Papers. These People cannot leave the Sijing Bureau from the moment they receive the test questions until the Imperial Examination is over.”
Jiang Yimian was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised, “The Sijing Bureau is also responsible for the Examination Papers of the candidates?”
She had always thought that the Sijing Bureau was just a facility similar to a library. She never expected that it could even be responsible for Printing the Examination Papers for the Imperial Examination.
Thinking about it, she asked casually, “Does the Sijing Bureau accept private Printing?”
Great Jin has very strict control over Books. If it has not been approved by the Sijing Bureau, it cannot be privately printed.
As a result, apart from the Books allowed to circulate on the market by Great Jin, other things cannot appear on the market at all, such as military tactics and forbidden books.
She was not interested in these things, but she had other ideas in her heart.
Because of her return from Qingnan, the Common People in the Capital began to suspect that the Chu Prince’s donation of family property had been robbed, and there were all kinds of Discussions.
But at first, not many people knew about it. It was Lu Cijian who had people spread it in some Teahouse Wine Shop and places where Crowds gathered.
This method is certainly useful, but the spread is too slow. Sometimes, the same sentence will have many deviations due to the expressions of different people.
In addition, although the Business of Bao Xiang Shop is still good now, its Influence is too small after all, and it is still being suppressed by Yan Yue Pavilion.
She wanted to make a Capital Gazette, which could have advertisements for New Product launched by Bao Xiang Shop, as well as some skincare tips, makeup design and other sections, or even serialized stories, and even various major events that happened in the Capital.
When needed, it can also be used as something to remind the people, so that people with ulterior motives will not disrupt public opinion in the Capital.
She believed that as long as it was made, people would definitely buy it. The Price didn’t need to be too expensive, and there would be new reports every day, mainly focusing on volume.
