The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 159 Happy Saturday

Ye Xi took out the porcelain bottle from her arms and said, "The pill I handed you when you came in was given to me by my sister-in-law. It can cure all kinds of poisons and can also be applied to wounds. I used it first because I was worried that she might poison me. I don't know how long the effect will last."

Mrs. Wu must have many tricks up her sleeve. If she uses them so early, they might not be available when she really needs them.

"Put it away first. You can use it when you need it later." Lin Shanjuan pushed it back. She was a little surprised when she thought of her sister-in-law.

"I didn't expect your sister-in-law to be so considerate to you. I met her once before and thought she was not a reasonable person."

Ye Xi thought for a few seconds after hearing this: "When my sister-in-law first got married, she often blamed my brother for being too close to me. But as time went by, she changed her mind."

Talking about her brother, she was often sad: "The last time I came to see you, I wanted to tell you something important, but I forgot."

There happened to be enough time now, so Ye Xi pulled Lin Shanjuan to sit at the table and talked about what they didn't have time to say that day.

"That night after we parted, I went to my brother's tent to look for him, but I saw him from afar returning to Master Ji's tent."

"I asked him what he was doing there, and he got furious. We had a huge argument, and we ended up parting on bad terms."

Lin Shanjuan was not surprised by this result. Although Ye Xi and Ye Lang were siblings, their moods and behaviors were very different.

Ye Xi cares about his country, but Ye Lang is selfish and short-sighted. It is only a matter of time before they have conflicts.

"Besides." Ye Xi raised his head, his expression serious. "Ji Shihan may have convinced him of something. His words are full of disparagement towards women. He always asks me to be more content and says that women should take care of their husbands and children early. My brother would never say such words before. I don't know what happened to him."

It can be seen from every debate in the court that Ji Shihan is very good at talking, and it is not surprising that Ye Lang, who is strong in body but simple in mind, is instigated by him.

"It seems Ji Shihan is getting anxious after losing his right-hand man and wants to recruit your brother for help. If you can persuade him, you must do so."

Ye Xi sighed and shook his head: "Not only does he not listen to anything I say, but whenever I talk about these things, he gets very angry."

Speaking of this, Ye Xi also had a headache: "Especially what he said last time, saying that I was deliberately slandering him in front of my father in order to compete with him for the position of general. I really..."

Lin Shanjuan thought: "Why would he think so?"

Ye Xi shook her head. "Who knows? There has never been a precedent for a woman serving as a general in Jingguo. I don't know why he's worried. Anyway, anything I say now would be trying to take his place, so I might as well not say anything."

Her face was full of helplessness, and Lin Shanjuan was unable to comfort her. He could only say some comforting words to her.

"After all, he is still a member of the Ye family. Perhaps he has his own limits that we are not aware of. If you can't persuade him, you should tell your father. He must be alert."

Ye Xi nodded: "I don't think he has any reason to help the evil. After all, Ji Shihan can't give him anything. Even if he gets hot-headed, he won't make a foolish decision."

She sighed, "As long as he can live up to the people of Jingguo, the emperor's respect, and my father's teachings, I am willing to assist him. After all, we are all members of the Ye family, and we are all people of Jingguo. It doesn't matter who is the general and who is the minister."

Lin Shanjuan looked at her frowning brows and did not say anything.

If Ye Lang really had the same awareness as you, there wouldn't be so many quarrels between you.

She always remembered what Ye Lang said to Qi Zhaomian, "I have my reasons for leaving." It just so happened that she couldn't sleep peacefully now, so it was a good opportunity to talk about this matter.

"Why did you leave Beijing overnight?"

Ye Xi was stunned. Thinking of the truth that he had just learned, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

"for……"

Lin Shanjuan added, "I just think that since you've grown up so upright under your father's guidance, it seems your father is also a very upright man. He wouldn't leave just because others say he's afraid of death."

Ye Xi was filled with shame. Even though the reason had nothing to do with her, she still felt ashamed.

"Because... because, at that time... my brother was entangled with a dancer."

After the most difficult words were said, the rest became much easier: "My father felt guilty towards His Highness. In order to prevent my brother from deceiving His Highness any further, he forcibly took him away and forbade me to deliver any message for him."

Lin Shanjuan listened without saying a word, his mood as dark and gloomy as the night outside.

There was no light in the house, and Ye Xi just realized that it was late at night. She knew she was annoyed, but she didn't know what to do.

Even if she apologized, it would be useless. After all, this matter had nothing to do with her. Lin Shanjuan would not vent his anger on her, so there was no point in apologizing.

“… Mountain Tired.”

"He had no choice but to do this because of this." Lin Shanjuan clenched his fists and suddenly raised his head. "She's just a dancer. How can she compare to Qi Zhaomian?"

Ye Xi looked embarrassed, but fortunately Lin Shanjuan only said this and did not blame her further.

No matter how much blame is placed on him, it is Ye Lang's fault. There is no need to let Ye Xi bear all this anger.

Lin Shanjuan now wanted to kill Ye Lang when he thought of his affectionate look! What a disgusting man!

When Qi Zhaomian was helpless, he was having fun with a dancer. Knowing why he left, he still asked Qi Zhaomian to wait for him. After being stopped by his father, he not only married a woman as a substitute, but also asked Qi Zhaomian to personally agree to his request for marriage.

Ye Lang really deserves to die!

When she looked up again, Lin Shanjuan's eyes were full of murderous intent. She hadn't been so angry for a long time, and it had been a long time since she had been so angry about something, so angry that she wanted to kill him.

"Ye Xi. If your brother really stands on the same side with Ji Shihan in the future, I will definitely not show mercy."

Ye Xi was stunned, feeling extremely bitter. "You don't need to tell me. When that happens, I will certainly not stand idly by."

She raised her head and patted Lin Shanjuan's shoulder: "Fortunately, Your Highness can meet you."

"Click."

A slight sound interrupted their thoughts. They looked towards the source of the sound at the same time. A sharp knife was inserted into the crack of the door and was stuck on the bolt, moving slowly.

The two men looked at each other and quietly approached the door, one on the side and the other hooked on the beam, their eyes fixed on the noise at the door.

Ye Xi slowly pulled out the knife. The faint moonlight cast a cold light on the knife, shining in Lin Shanjuan's eyes. She sensed the cold murderous intent.
