The Fortune of Rebirth: The Counterattack of the Princess

Chapter C42 – Palming off a Substitute

Proofread by Yin Jing

"A Prince breaking the law will be legally punished as equally as common people who commit the same crime. They three intended to murder me. Do you want to support them, Brother?" Liang Yi seems to look for trouble on purpose today.

Liang He frowns, thinking that since Liang Yi doesn't appreciate what's good for him, he would not have to respect him, either.

Then, Liang He sneers: "Of course, Brother. But I saw clearly what happened just now."

When Liang Yi hears this, his face turns pale.

Liang He looks at him and continues: "Do you really want to hand this case to the court, Brother? Or you want to let Father and Mother know? "

Liang Yi clenches his teeth and forces a smile on his face. He squeezes a sentence out of his teeth: "I get confused for a while. I still have something important to do today, so I will leave you and your friends alone."

The night market is still bustling, but Yan Ling's mind is no longer here. After that, Yan Ling isn't as excited as she was at the beginning.

She walks absent-mindedly, with his head lowered. From time to time, she raises her head and takes a look at the tall man in black walking in front of him.

It seems that he has noticed Yan Ling's eyes. After a while, Liang He suddenly turns around and asks her, "Ling'er, is there anything you want to say?"

Yan Ling is startled, and she shakes her head subconsciously.

Seeing that Ling is obviously worried, Liang He laughs and continues, "If there is anything you want to know, just ask me, Ling'er. It's not like you if you hide everything in heart."

Yan Ling hesitates and then makes up her mind, "You… You just said that you saw the whole process, so you have been in the crowd all the time? "

Although she cannot figure out what the reason is, Ling just feels uncomfortable when she thinks that Liang He has always been in the crowd, watching her being embarrassed, but refuses to stand out till the last moment.

Liang He obviously doesn't expect that this is what Yan Ling cares about and shakes his head subconsciously.

"How could it be? I just lied to Liang Yi. He has fallen into my trap only because he has a guilty conscience." Liang He smiles very decently.

Yan Ling had looked around the crowd at the beginning and Liang He wasn't there at that time, and when she hears Liang He's own denial, she feels much more relieved.

Still, there is one more thing that Yan Ling still doesn't understand.

"What else do you want to ask?" Liang He knocks on his palm with his folding fan.

"In fact, it's just a little thing..." Yan Ling is a little embarrassed, keeps going with her lowered head.

When it is time to go back home, seeing that Nan Yan and Liyi are far away, Yan Ling quietly pulls the sleeve of Liang He.

When Liang He looks over, Yan Ling lowers her head again and says in a low voice that can only be faintly heard: "How did you recognize me?"

To be honest, Yan Ling is really curious. Liang Yi also looked at her carefully just now, but he didn't recognize her. Why could Liang He recognize her with a mere glance?

Liang He is surprised by this question. He smiles and looks Yan Ling in the eye directly, and says seriously, "I don't know why, maybe..."

Liang He stops, and suddenly touches Yan Ling's head gently: "Probably becauseI can always recognize you no matter what you look like."

Yan Ling didn't expect that Liang He would suddenly say something like that. The atmosphere is somehow embarrassing. She lowers her head and blushes subconsciously.

The next day, Yan Ling sits on the chair casually and looks at Nan Yan standing there.

"You can do martial arts?" Yan Ling asks casually, but her tone is so positive.

"Yes, My Lady." Nan Yan also replies lightly, and there doesn't seem to be anything surprising.

Yan Ling smiles, "Don't you wonder how I know that?"

Seeing that Nan Yan doesn't reply, Yan Ling still continues: "Actually, I just guess. After you saved the little girl yesterday, I noticed that the horse's neck seemed to be crooked all the time. And... "

"And the horse, which had been crazy, suddenly quieted down. It didn't seem to have much energy!" Something seems to cross Liyi's mind and she adds quickly.

Nan Yan is slightly shocked when he hears this. He never expects that the seemingly unreliable master and servant could have observe so carefully. Then, it's not that surprising to be found.

"Generally speaking, masters won't allow their servants to know martial arts. So, what are you going to do with me, My Lady?" Nan Yan just asks Ling directly.

Until now, Liyi remembers that there is such a thing. There are two main reasons for this: on the one hand, it is to prevent the servants from plotting against the master, and on the other hand, to discipline the servants more easily.

Yan Ling doesn't mind his offence, "Then, I'm not one of the general masters. I won't punish you, instead I plan to let you practice martial arts well. "

Seeing Nan Yan tries hard to suppress his excitement, Yan Ling continues with a smile, "There will be some trouble, but if you need a martial arts teacher, I can..."

"No." Nan Yan refuses.

Looking at Liyi who is slightly dissatisfied, Nan Yan explains unnaturally: "My martial arts are taught by my family. I have memorized the mental skills and moves in my mind. I will be stronger as long as I keep practicing. And it won't be of much use to have a teacher. In addition, it's not good to let others know that I know Kongfu. "

Yan Ling nods appreciatively. Naturally, the fewer people who know that, the better. And that's why she said "there will be some trouble". It is great if he doesn't need a teacher.

"Well, that's it. In the future, you don't have to do your work. Practice hard. However,..." Yan Ling becomes increasingly serious in the end.

"What's wrong, My Lady." Nan Yan still keeps a cool face, but Yan Ling can detect his eagerness in his voice.

Yan Ling stands up, comes close to him and pats Nan Yan on the shoulder, "You are still young, and you have a lot of time to do whatever you want. Don't rush. Even if you practice martial arts, you need to do it step by step. "

Nan Yan couldn't help but be stunned. Since his parents died, no one has cared about him. He did plan to practice hard originally, but he didn't except that Yan Ling finds that.

"Thank you, My Lady." Although Ling has gone far, Nan Yan still expresses his gratitude, more sincerely than ever.

"Liang Yi was out of the capital today? Find out what he did." In the Crown Prince's mansion, Liang He gives this order with an ambiguous expression on his face.

"Yes!" One of the men serving him takes the order and is about to go, but is stopped by Liang He's sudden call.
