You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 231 Zhao Zhao Drugged

Lin Kaiji, who are you?

Lin Zhaoyue gently stroked the teeth marks on her neck and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She never thought that one day she would resort to such despicable means.

If Lin Kaiji is not her biological elder brother, then where is her biological elder brother?

Why didn’t my parents find out after all these years?

Lin Zhaoyue's hands unconsciously clenched the quilt and she kept her eyes open until dawn...

The next day, considering that Lin Zhaoyue was still ill and had to deal with such worrying things, Lin Kaiji let her stay in the house and have a good rest.

As for the affairs of the Flying Eagle Team, they were left to Ding Dong and her men.

Lin Zhaoyue was really bored after lying down for a long time, so she went to visit the General's Mansion.

She has been at the border for so long, but she has never really toured the city.

When she reached a courtyard, she heard several maids and servants discussing what had happened recently in Beizhou City.

"Hey, have you heard? Baihua Tower was burned down in the middle of last night."

"I heard it, it was said that it burned all night and the sky over the entire Beizhou City was bright."

"It was such a big Baihua Tower, and it was gone just like that. I heard that many people died."

"According to the government investigation, it was a drunk who accidentally started the fire and is now in jail!"

"With so many lives lost, I don't think he can afford the compensation..."

Someone noticed Lin Zhaoyue and bowed, saying:

"Ms. Lin Er."

The others followed the maid's gaze and bowed when they saw Lin Zhaoyue.

"Ms. Lin Er."

Lin Zhaoyue nodded and was about to leave when she heard a maid behind her say:

"Miss Lin, the eldest master said that you are not feeling well and need to rest more. It is not advisable for you to be exposed to too much wind outside."

Lin Zhaoyue turned her head and looked at the maid who was speaking.

The maid had been doing her own thing and not saying anything while chatting with others just now, but now, it was she who was conveying Lin Kaiji's words.

The entire General’s Mansion is under his control.

Lin Zhaoyue glanced at her, her lips curved, returning to her usual unruly look:

"I can go wherever I want. What's the matter? Are you still planning to tell my elder brother about this and ask him to punish me?"

The maid had only heard that the two young ladies in the general's mansion were easy to serve, but she had never served them closely. However, she knew the methods of the eldest master.

Hearing Lin Zhaoyue's obviously angry tone, she immediately fell to her knees.

"I definitely didn't mean that. The eldest master was just worried about the young lady. Maybe I didn't convey it clearly. I deserve to die."

As she spoke, she reached out and slapped herself on the mouth without hesitation.

Once, twice... without mercy.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at her, said nothing more, and left.

Lin Kaiji came back in the evening and brought a lot of snacks that she liked.

He peeled chestnuts for her, peeling each one very completely. After peeling one, he put it on a plate and moved it in front of her.

The man had deep facial features and clear eyebrows. When he moved, the hem of his clothes was like flowing clouds. He was wearing a blue brocade robe, which was elegant and noble.

After listening to Ding Dong's report, Lin Zhaoyue made arrangements for her for tomorrow, gave her a few instructions, and let her leave.

Lin Kaiji liked the feeling that she didn't hide things from him, so he didn't interrupt when Lin Zhaoyue was discussing the training plan with Ding Dong.

If she needed anything, she would ask him.

After Ding Dong left, the white porcelain plate was already filled with golden and plump chestnuts.

Chestnuts are a rare commodity in the border area. There is a perennial water shortage here, so there are no chestnuts.

These were shipped back from the Jiangnan area. The grains are large, plump and very sweet.

There were only two people left in the bedroom. Lin Zhaoyue was still the same as before. He prepared food for her and she read the storybook while eating.

Lin Zhaoyue took a chestnut, which was soft, glutinous, and just the right sweetness. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at Lin Kaiji and said:

"Brother, this is delicious."

As she spoke, her slender white hands picked up a golden chestnut and handed it to him.

Her cheeks were puffed up, and she looked like a squirrel eating.

Lin Kaiji really wanted to reach out and pinch her, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he gave up.

Looking at the chestnuts in front of him, he opened his mouth and ate them.

He didn't care much about his appetite, but he thought the food she fed him with her own hands was especially sweet.

"Isn't it delicious?"

Lin Kaiji nodded and said affirmatively:

"Yeah, sweet."

After getting the affirmation, the girl turned back to the storybook with satisfaction.

Seeing Lin Zhaoyue's focused look, Lin Kaiji finished eating the chestnut, took a sip of tea, and said casually:

"The Baihua Building burned down last night."

Hearing this, Lin Zhaoyue raised her head and said:

"I heard them discussing this matter today. I heard that a drunkard set the fire and many people died."

Lin Kaiji studied her expression, turned the teacup in his hand slightly, and said:

"Don't you find it strange?"

Lin Zhaoyue looked at him strangely and said:

"What's so weird about this?"

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and looked at him with her beautiful eyes:

"Brother, you don't think I did it, do you?"

Then, he clarified the relationship:

"I don't have that much ability. Although I am a little naughty sometimes, I have never dared to burn a flower house."

Seeing her heartless appearance, Lin Kaiji smiled.

He overestimated her!

He thought she would at least have some doubts, but she thought he was doubting her.

"Well, brother believes in you."

As he spoke, he opened the crispy duck and said:

"Try this. It won't taste good if it's cold."

As he said that, he handed her a chicken leg.

Thinking of the unpleasantness between her and Yan Xiao, Lin Kaiji said:

"Didn't you say last night that Yan Xiao saved you? Today, to thank him, I transferred him to work by my side."

Lin Zhaoyue paused for a moment, then quickly reacted.

He closed the storybook and said gloomily:

"I'm sleepy, big brother, go back!"

Lin Kaiji looked at her and saw that she was a little unhappy, so he coaxed her:

"Are you unhappy? Yan Xiao is very capable, he saved you, and his background is clean, so big brother uses him..."

Before Lin Kaiji could finish his words, he was pushed out by Lin Zhaoyue.

"Okay, I get it. Big brother, didn't you just want me to be nicer to him since he's one of ours from now on? I get it..."

Looking at the closed door, Lin Kaiji shook his head helplessly and smiled.

However, when he saw that Lin Zhaoyue disliked Yan Xiao, he felt a secret joy in his heart.

Yan Xiao likes Zhao Zhao and keeps him by his side so that he can control her, but Zhao Zhao doesn't like Yan Xiao, and there will be no sparks between them no matter what.

Yan Xiao is different from General Chen’s reckless generals. He has superb archery skills, good physical skills, and a quick mind. He is capable of taking on important tasks. However, Yan Xiao still needs to be observed.

Lin Kaiji watched the bedroom turn from light to darkness and said:

"Zhao Zhao, have a good rest."

The person who was having a bad temper ignored him. Lin Kaiji looked at him helplessly for a while and left.

The next day, Lin Zhaoyue sneaked into the kitchen and made cakes herself. Ding Dong was not there, so the person serving her was replaced by someone else.

And that person was the maid who slapped herself yesterday.

Lin Zhaoyue looked at her, frowned, and said:

"I get annoyed just by seeing you. Go out first. I'll call you if I need you."

The maid looked at Lin Zhaoyue for a few times, said nothing, and left obediently. As she left, she could still hear Lin Zhaoyue muttering:

"I really don't know why Big Brother sent you to me..."

The maid's eyes just moved and she pretended not to hear.

Only when she was alone in the kitchen did Lin Zhaoyue put away her impatient look, took out a white porcelain bottle, and poured all the white powder inside into the noodles.
