Chapter 118: Arrogant Due to Imperial Favor

  Thank you for the pink votes from Xiao Yang's foot, tiger touch...

  Feeling the anger emanating from the floating double-flower hairpin, Qing Jin quickly changed the subject and praised: "However, little food, you look quite good now, at least you don't take up space, and you're still pretty. Come on, let me take a closer look." After speaking, Qing Jin opened her palms to gaze at the floating double-flower hairpin.

  Upon hearing Qingjin's words, the floating double-flower hairpin seemed to hesitate for a moment, and after half a beat, it still retracted its light and slowly fell onto Qingjin's hand.

  Qing Jin took the hairpin and held it in her hand, admiring it carefully before saying, "It's really a beautiful hairpin."

  "That's natural." The proud consciousness of the man-eating flower echoed in Qingjin's mind, somewhat like a child being praised and feeling delighted. Qingjin found it slightly amusing, but didn't show it on her face. Instead, she looked at the hairpin in her hand and said: "By the way, Xiao Shi, why did you suddenly appear today?"

  "It's not because you're too stupid." The man-eating flower was quite straightforward this time.

  Upon hearing the words "man-eating flower", Qing Jin got down from her bed and walked to the lamp in front of her, removing the lampshade. Holding the intertwined flower hairpin in her hand, she was about to bring it close to the burning candle flame.

  A scorching heat rushed over, and the double-flower hairpin in Qingjin's hand seemed to come alive, struggling to break free from her grasp. Unfortunately, Qingjin held it too tightly, giving it no chance to escape.

  "Let go of this flower, you... what do you want to do?" The fearful voice of the man-eating flower came from his mind.

  "I don't want to do anything, it's just that I'm a bit stupid and don't know what 'fire overcomes wood' means. I want to see it with my own eyes." Qingjin's voice didn't fluctuate at all, as if she was simply answering a question about what I had for dinner.

  The man-eating flower was treated by her as if it were something she was studying, with an expression that said "I'm just preparing for an experiment, why are you so tense, making me feel a chill in my heart."

  "You this crazy woman......" The voice of the man-eating flower's terror and anger echoed in Qingjin's mind.

  Qing Jin heard the words of the man-eating flower, but didn't say anything. She continued to hold the hairpin with the intertwined flowers and moved closer to the candle flame. The hairpin in her hand struggled violently, trying to break free, but couldn't. Seeing that Qing Jin showed no signs of stopping, it finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in terror in Qing Jin's mind: "Stop— you... you..."

  Qing Jin heard the words of the Man-Eating Flower and stopped her movement of bringing the paired flower hairpin closer to the candle flame. The Man-Eating Flower saw that she had stopped moving and finally let out a sigh, both shocked and angry. Wanting to loudly scold her, but then hearing Qing Jin's light voice say: "So you're actually afraid of fire!"

  "This flower is not..." The carnivorous flower spoke with discontent.

  "It doesn't matter." He said quickly putting the intertwined flower hairpin in his hand into the fire.

  "Ah——" a mournful cry echoed in Qingjin's mind.

  "You stupid woman, wicked woman, how dare you use fire to burn the Ben Hua." The consciousness of the Man-Eating Flower angrily scolded in Qing Jin's mind.

  "Aren't you afraid of fire?" Qing Jin asked with some innocence.

  "You...!" The man-eating flower was shut up by Qing Jin's innocent expression and tone, and then shouted loudly: "This flower says it's not afraid, so it's not afraid. Can't you tell the difference yourself? Stupid like..."

  "What you said is right, I'm so stupid. Now I feel the room is too dark, so we need to add more light." As she spoke, she picked up the hairpin in her hand and was about to put it on the fire...

  "Wait... wait... I made a mistake with this flower, you're not stupid. I was wrong, it hurts..."

  "It would have been better if you had recognized the situation earlier." Qing Jin said with satisfaction.

  "...you've been doing it on purpose all along, you..." The Man-Eating Flower finally reacted.

  Qing Jin gave it a faint glance. The man-eating flower swallowed all the words that were about to come out under her gaze, but in its heart, it was somewhat resentful, humans are truly cunning and poisonous creatures.

  "Speak up, you've been silent for so long, what made you suddenly speak up today?" Qing Jin said softly to the intertwined flower hairpin in the water.

  But Qingjin asked, yet there was no response in her mind, and the soft white glow on the intertwined flower hairpin in her hand also disappeared. It seemed as if she was holding just an ordinary hairpin.

  Could it be that she had just hurt him, Qing Jin was somewhat puzzled, after waiting for half a day, there was still no response, and looking again at the lifeless double-flower hairpin in her hand.

  Qing Jin's eyes flashed with a playful glint, and she raised the hand holding the intertwined flower hairpin as if to throw it into the fire pit. "What are you doing?" The man-eating flower spoke up in a somewhat fearful tone.

  Qing Jin's eyes appeared with an expression of pretending to be dead, and she said in a light tone: "Nothing, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you, however..." The threatening meaning in her tone was not concealed at all.

  "There was something wrong with the tea you drank from that woman this morning." The man-eating flower finally spoke up.

  When she heard the words of the man-eating flower, Qing Jin was stunned. She didn't expect Murong to take such a great risk on the first day and deal with her. Thinking about the things in her past life, and thinking about the grandeur and status she had when she married into the Jing Wang Fu, it's no wonder that Murong couldn't hold back. In fact, she also had doubts, but she didn't expect Murong to really make a move. Thinking of this, Qing Jin came back to her senses and spoke to the man-eating flower: "I know." But she didn't ask anything else.

  The man-eating flower originally thought that when Qing Jin asked it, it would definitely make things difficult for Qing Jin to avenge the fire burning just now. Unexpectedly, after Qing Jin heard its words, she simply said four words and didn't ask anything.

  "You don't ask if there's anything wrong?" Seeing Qing Jin really didn't have the desire to know, the man-eating flower couldn't help but open his mouth and ask.

  "The tea water I drank and the tea water Mu Rong drank were poured out from the same teapot." Qing Jin said.

  "The problem is not with the tea." The man-eating flower replied to Qingjin's words.

  Qing Jin listened to his words and nodded, saying: "I'm going to sleep."

  The man-eating flower saw Qing Jin leave and curiously asked: "Don't you ask what's wrong with your own body?"

  Qing Jin heard the words of the man-eating flower and stopped in her tracks, muttering a few words to herself before walking into the inner room.

  Seeing Qingjin's back disappear into the inner room, the hairpin of the intertwined flowers flew up from the table and floated in mid-air, as if staring blankly in the direction Qingjin had left. The person who just spoke said, "That's perfect!"

  It's a bit puzzling, in its memory, humans seem to be an extremely greedy and fearful animal, why doesn't this human seem like that?

  It floats in mid-air, drawing circles that cannot be solved.

  Suddenly, as if sensing something, it quickly fell from the air onto the table, retracting the radiance on its body, looking like an ordinary hairpin.

  Outside of Yunyuan Garden

  Long Han returned to Jing Wang Fu from outside the city, using his lightness skill. When he arrived at Liu Yun Yuan, he saw that the main gate was tightly closed and the entire Liu Yun Yuan was pitch black.

  He stood outside the Flowing Cloud Temple, looking at the tightly closed gate of the Flowing Cloud Temple with a frown. Half a moment later, he finally didn't go forward and turned to leave.

  Today is the second day of his and her grand wedding, after comparing with Water No Emotion, he thought that today should still rest here, thinking that she was waiting for him, although the time was completely rushed, but he still accelerated his return, unexpectedly welcoming him was the tightly closed Flow Cloud Mansion.

  Long Han walked alone in the darkness, thinking of last night's quarrel between the two of them, thinking of her smashing the pair of interlocking bangles he had given her, thinking of the hatred in her eyes, touching the arm she had stabbed, and suddenly feeling a little annoyed.

  However, such annoyance was suppressed by him in an instant. He is Long Han Yuan, this is the Jing Wang Fu, he doesn't quite understand, in this life he married her as a side consort, asked for a title for her and personally went to welcome her, why did she become different from before? Is it true that women really can't be spoiled?

  Fine, since she wants it that way, let her have it. Since it's her choice, Long Han Yan hasn't reached the point where he needs to force or coerce a woman. Even if Ce Fei is difficult, he'll make her understand that in this harem, without his favor, even as a side consort, she won't be able to live life on her own terms.

  He had been feeling somewhat guilty towards her, so last night he let her make a fuss, let her scold him, and even let her hurt him. He thought that after she had made a fuss and scolded him, she would be like before, relying on him wholeheartedly, smiling at him, but unexpectedly she became arrogant because of his indulgence.

  Well, in that case, let her suffer a bit. After suffering, she should learn to be clever and know that only by relying on him can she live well in the Jing Wang Fu. Thinking of this, the feeling of annoyance completely disappeared, he walked towards the study with quick steps.

  So, for the next few days, Long Hanshan didn't go to Liuyunyuan either, as if he had forgotten about his newly wedded concubine.

  In a twinkling of an eye, five or six days passed, and the news that Wang Ye didn't particularly value the concubine of Liuyun Temple also gradually spread in the Jingwang Mansion.

  The Main Hall of Jingwangfu

  Murong sat in the first position, looking at the account book in his hand, and Le Jiaojiao stood beside him to serve. Murong looked at the account book leisurely and asked Le Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, what's going on between that person and my father?"

  Lao Tai Tai heard Mu Rong's words, poured a cup of tea from the side and handed it to Mu Rong, saying: "What else can be done? The slave has already said that the master is not a good-looking person, marrying her just for the power behind her. That day when she came to pay respects to Wang Fei, the slave saw that she was not a person who knew how to curry favor with people. Even if she looked beautiful, so what? This is just after the new marriage, and the master has not shown much enthusiasm. According to the slave's words, the master still likes someone like Wang Fei who is virtuous and considerate."

  Murong heard Le's words and gave her a white eye: "What is the nanny talking about? I've been married to my husband for many years, what do you mean by like or dislike? Besides, that one is much younger than me." Murong said this with her mouth, but her eyes showed obvious joy.

  "What does it matter, there are many young women, in my opinion, the master is not that kind of person who only likes beauties, like Princess Wang, she is the one the master likes." Lai Gu said to Murong.

  "You know." Murong smiled lightly and then asked Le Jiejie: "By the way, has there been any progress on the investigation?"
