Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 180 Xu Lin deliberately caused trouble

Chapter 180 Xu Lin deliberately caused trouble
Upon hearing this, Hu Meiren smiled without saying a word, and swayed her slender waist as she walked towards another bed.

Then she sat diagonally on the soft couch and covered her fair and slender legs with a brocade quilt.

"elder sister."

"Do you think the treasure of Fire Rain Manor eventually fell into the hands of that old bastard Han An?"

Hu Meiren blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

"Why do you say that?"

Madam Hu was slightly taken aback, then frowned and asked in return.

Because she was far away from Hu Meiren, and the room was dimly lit, Hu Meiren couldn't see her expression clearly.

Otherwise, Hu Meiren would have noticed something was wrong long ago!
After speaking, Madam Hu moved up a little and used her hand to block Xu Lin from view under the quilt.

"Han An came to Baixiang Palace last night."

"After the incense finished burning, I asked him if he knew about the Fire Rain Treasure, and he immediately became anxious."

"I later asked him if he remembered Li Kai, and he flew into a rage, warning me that if I mentioned it again, he would demote me to a commoner."

"He ascended to the throne through the Baiyue War, but now he refuses to discuss the details, which means he must have done something wrong!"

Hu Meiren's pretty face was full of confidence.

Her intuition is always very accurate!
"Now that Liu Yi is dead, the Fire Rain Treasure was no longer in his possession before his death."

"Therefore, the Fire Rain Treasure most likely fell into the hands of Han An, Ji Wuye, or Bai Yifei!"

Hu Meiren analyzed in a deep voice.

"possible."

Upon hearing this, Madam Hu nodded slightly.

Then she closed her legs tightly and clenched the 'evil' on her left side.

The light was poor, so my sister couldn't see clearly, but she could hear clearly, so she absolutely had to keep quiet!
"If that old bastard Han An is really the mastermind behind this, I will definitely not let him off easily!"

Hu Meiren's eyebrows were drawn straight.

If Han An was the mastermind, then her father, Lord Huoyu, was indirectly killed by Han An!
She wants revenge on Han An!

Getting revenge on Han An is simple; for example, she could give it directly to Xu Zhengchun.

She could even have a child with Xu Zhengchun, making Han An believe it was his, and have Han An raise the child for Xu Zhengchun!

She could also hide behind a screen and discuss things with Xu Lin while Han An was reviewing memorials, only showing her face so that Han An would think she was keeping him company.

Upon realizing this, Hu Meiren smiled charmingly.

"elder sister."

"Do you think Mr. Xu knows about this?"

Hu Meiren leaned forward, picked up the kettle on the table, poured some hot tea into a bowl, and asked curiously.

He probably doesn't know.

Madam Hu lowered her beautiful eyes, glanced at the mischievous Xu Lin, and blurted out.

Xu Lin is getting worse and worse!
The more she forbade Xu Lin from doing something, the more Xu Lin wanted to do it!
I don't see it that way.

"He knows where Yu'er is. Yu'er is your daughter, sister. How could she not know about the Fire Rain Treasure?"

Hu Meiren took a sip of hot tea.

"Too."

"Then I'll ask him another day."

Madam Hu placed her hand on her jade-like neck.

"still me……"

Hu Meiren's red lips parted slightly.

Before she could finish speaking, Madam Hu interrupted her.

"You are the King of Han's woman, it is not appropriate for you to leave the palace frequently."

Madam Hu, who treated her elder sister like a mother, pretended to be serious.

"I am merely the King of Han's woman in name only."

"Sister, you know that already."

Hu Meiren smiled alluringly.

"That's not OK."

"It will be very troublesome if this is discovered."

"Therefore, I'll go ask."

"That's what Madam Hu said."

She spoke with absolute certainty, leaving no room for argument.

The reason she didn't let her younger sister go to Xu Lin was because she was afraid her sister would be deceived by Xu Lin!
Xu Lin was eloquent and persuasive. Her younger sister, being inexperienced, was no match for him. She didn't want her sister to suffer the same fate as her!
Seeing this, Hu Meiren hesitated before agreeing to the matter.

My sister's mind is made up; what can she say?
She didn't want to argue with her sister!

"elder sister."

Do you think it's possible that Xu Zhengchun is Xu Lin?

"Xu Lin is extremely skilled at invention and creation, but we haven't heard from him recently."

"It seems that after Xu Zhengchun appeared, there was no further news about Xu Lin!"

Hu Meiren frowned slightly as she looked towards the Qin state.

"Probably not."

Mrs. Hu said absentmindedly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she covered Xu Lin's mouth with her hand.

"Absolutely possible!"

"Although I have never met Xu Lin, I have heard that he is handsome and dashing, and is in his early twenties."

Hu Meiren said.

"That's...maybe."

Madam Hu clenched her teeth and answered with her back to Hu Meiren.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Upon hearing the sound, Lady Hu immediately sensed something was amiss. She then promptly put down her teacup and lifted the brocade quilt.

"I am fine."

"Cough cough, I didn't sleep well last night, my throat is a little sore."

"Just take a nap and you'll be fine!"

When Madam Hu saw her sister coming over, she quickly explained.

"Sister, have you caught a cold?"

Hu Meiren asked with a concerned look.

"possible."

"So, little sister, you should go back to your room tonight."

Madam Hu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Lady Hu wanted to touch Madam Hu's forehead to see if she had a fever, but Madam Hu refused.

"I just had a doctor check on you before you came. You don't have a fever, so there's nothing serious."

"The doctor said that as long as I rest well, I'll be fine in a few days!"

Mrs. Hu made up her story as she thought about it.

Then he waved to Hu Meiren, signaling her to go back quickly and not to stay in the same room with her, in case she got infected.

"Ok."

"Then you should rest now, sister."

"I'll come another day!"

Seeing that her sister looked alright, Hu Meiren said softly.

After saying that, she left the bedroom.

After Lady Hu walked away, Madam Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

If Hu Meiren doesn't leave soon, she'll be exposed!
She scratched her chest and neck until they were red, all so that Hu Meiren wouldn't notice anything amiss!
"gentlemen."

Do you know about the Fire Rain Treasure?

Madam Hu gathered her hair and asked.

After saying that, she immediately put the clothes under her legs.

"Have heard a little bit."

"This matter should be related to Han An."

Xu Lin nodded.

He didn't press his advantage, because now it was Mrs. Hu's turn to beg him!

"Is this really related to Han An?"

"My sister and I..."

Madam Hu's brows were furrowed.

She married Liu Yi, the man who killed her father, and her sister married Han An, who indirectly killed their father. Are there any people in the world more miserable than the two of them?

"All that has passed is but a prologue."

"Liu Yi is dead, and Han An will die too."

Xu Lin comforted.

After speaking, he did not embrace Madam Hu as usual, but instead picked up the kettle from the windowsill.

After witnessing this scene, Madam Hu hesitated to speak.

Why isn't Xu Lin, that lecherous scoundrel, continuing his evil deeds?

"lady."

“Your sister is one of us, so you can tell her my real identity.”

Xu Lin continued.

After saying that, he tilted his head back and began to chug.

After drinking the cold tea in the pot in one gulp, he deliberately lifted the brocade quilt, making it seem as if he was about to leave.

Seeing this, Madam Hu bit her thin lips tightly, opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a single word. In the end, she chose to use actions instead of words and grabbed Xu Lin's arm.

"What's wrong, Madam?"

Xu Lin asked, feigning ignorance.

"me……"

Mrs. Hu found it difficult to speak.

"what happened to you?"

Xu Lin continued to play dumb.

"I think……"

Mrs. Hu blushed deeply.

"What do you think?"

"Do you want some water too?"

Xu Lin said deliberately.

"No."
