The maid didn't speak, still holding her neck and coughing, while looking at Li Lin in horror.

"Don't do this, we can communicate a little, for example, you tell me where Shen Zhen is being held...... Belch. ”

Li Lin was suddenly stunned halfway through speaking.

Because the little maid who was tied to her neck just now was slowly flowing out of her feet......

She was scared out to pee......

For a long time, although the City Lord's Mansion is not as lifeless as those ancient families, it can be regarded as meticulously renovated, and from the perspective of furnishings and cleanliness, it is not difficult to see that City Lord Shen Xinglin is actually a very demanding person.

After asking Shen Zhen's location from the mouth of the little maidservant, Li Lin didn't embarrass them anymore, knocked them unconscious and casually threw them into a room and locked them, and then admired the grand city lord's mansion all the way, and walked towards the room where Shen Zhen was under house arrest.

Seriously speaking, Li Lin and the Sang Hong family are not hostile positions, even if their whereabouts are discovered, at most they will be asked a few words, and then thrown out of the City Lord's Mansion, it should not be a situation of fighting to the death.

Therefore, Li Lin's mentality has always been very relaxed, and he will enter the City Lord's Mansion because of Shen Zhen's relationship.

Otherwise, to put it mildly, he doesn't have much sense of belonging to Hongsang Academy and Hongsang City, after all, he was assassinated on the day of admission, although those who harmed him afterwards have learned their due lessons, but the rift has been caused, and it is only impossible for Li Lin to be loyal to Hongsang Academy.

Even the existence of Murong Mo, Shen Zhen, and Luo Lan made Li Lin not hostile to Hongsang Academy at most, nothing more.

When the prince recruited him in Wujing, Li Lin actually had a little hesitation in his heart, but his mood needed to settle at that time, so he had to refuse the prince's kindness.

Now back at Hongsang Academy, Li Lin just wants to settle down for a while, after all, he has become a great Confucian in one fell swoop, the speed is too fast, so fast that people can't imagine, if he is in a hurry, it will only be harmful to writing books in the future.

After confirming that Shen Zhen was safe, Li Lin planned to go to the academy to apply for a tutor - now that he was a great Confucian, it was probably not suitable to be a student again.

The average college student is 30 years old, and 30 years old is the graduation threshold, and outstanding students can choose to stay in the college to teach, or accept the imperial court's recruitment for official positions, or teach abroad on their own.

Therefore, the tutors in the college are all writers over the age of 30, and because of this system, there is no shortage of outstanding students who will be more powerful than the tutors, after all, not every tutor is a one-star writer, once a student shows more ability than the tutor, the college will focus on cultivating them.

However, this system is a little inapplicable to Li Lin, he is a great Confucian, a very young Confucian, and the prince can not hesitate to extend an olive branch for him first, which shows how heavy Li Lin, the youngest Confucian, weighs.

It is conceivable that once Li Lin's becoming a great Confucian is known to Hongsang Academy, the top management of the academy will definitely shake violently, and then they can't wait to keep Li Lin in Hongsang Academy, even if it is possible to separate the position of a high-level member of the academy.

It's just that Li Lin doesn't have much sense of belonging to Hongsang Academy, and he is not greedy for power, he just wants to get a position as a tutor, occasionally show up to teach, and spend the rest of his time precipitating his state of mind, so it's good.

Of course, these things have to be dealt with after Shen Zhen's affairs are dealt with before planning.

。。。

Bang!

"Miss, it's time to eat. A servant girl unceremoniously threw the plate with the food on the table, and the soup on the plate even spilled a little.

Shen Zhen glanced at the servant girl, didn't say anything, and silently took the plate.

Seeing this, the maidservant couldn't help but sneer and said, "Alas, can't you even say thank you now?"

Shen Zhenjiao's body trembled, hesitated for a long time, and then whispered: "Thank you......"

"It's too quiet, I can't hear it!"

"Thank you......"

"Hmph!" The maidservant snorted coldly: "Count your acquaintance, remember to be polite, you are not the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion now, don't put on that face!"

Shen Zhen lowered his head and did not speak.

The corners of the maid's mouth lifted slightly, and suddenly she saw the pen, ink and paper on the other side of the table, and said with a sneer: "I said Miss, you can't still write a book, right?"

Shen Zhen still lowered her head and didn't speak, but her fists were placed under the table and quietly clenched.

The maidservant walked over, picked up the pen and ink on the table, and said with a contemptuous smile: "You will never be able to write a good spiritual book, do you still want to have a down-and-out girl turn over? Tell you, stop daydreaming! Come, let me see what you have written!"

"Don't!" Shen Zhen raised his head and wanted to bring the paper next to the pen and ink, but the maidservant was faster and took the stack of paper in her hand first.

"Yo, what kind of bad writing is this?" The maid shook her head while looking at it: "You are still Shen Daru's daughter, why are the things you write so inferior?"

"Give it back to me!" Shen Zhen stood up and said angrily.

The maidservant was stunned for a moment, then raised the stack of papers in her hand and said, "Are you talking about this pile of garbage?"

"Give that one back to me!" Shen Zhen gritted his teeth.

"Huh. The maid smiled, and then, in front of Shen Zhen, she grabbed the stack of papers from both sides.

Slowly, tear through the middle.

Shhhh

The stack of paper was easily torn in half.

"Give it back to you!" The maid took the paper that had been torn in half, threw it directly on Shen Zhen's face, and sneered: "Garbage is garbage, and what is written is also garbage!"

"You!" Shen Zhen was furious, clenched his fists, as if he was about to go berserk.

The maidservant was taken aback by Shen Zhen's appearance, and then a sense of anger surged from her heart, and she said angrily: "You dare to do this to me? Do you know what it means for you to do this? Don't forget, your mother is still imprisoned, and you want her to suffer?!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhen's arrogance subsided suddenly, and he sat down weakly.

"Hmph!" Seeing that Shen Zhen was subdued, the maid was very happy, and said coldly: "I see that you haven't figured out the situation yet, your father is missing, and your mother is imprisoned, with you garbage, you can't turn the situation around, to be honest, there is something to say, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Even a handmaid can ride on his head.

Shen Zhen lowered his head, clenched his teeth, and looked quite unwilling.

The maid seemed to sense Shen Zhen's emotions, and couldn't help but be even more angry, and stepped forward and said loudly: "What are you unwilling to do? What qualifications does garbage have to be unwilling? Put your face up, sister, I will slap you and see if I can wake you up!"

As she spoke, the maid raised her slap and slapped Shen Zhen's left cheek.

Shen Zhen raised his head, looked at the slap that was getting closer and closer, hesitated for a moment, and didn't choose to dodge after all.

She must bear this slap.

Otherwise, the mother will only suffer in her place.

Shen Zhen has never been a good child, always making her father angry and her mother worried, but as a child, she has that attachment that can never be parted.

Her mother was imprisoned, she was worried, she was very reluctant.

So, the mother must not be allowed to suffer.

Absolutely, no.

。。。

Seeing that the slap was about to fall, suddenly, a strong hand rose out of the air and grabbed the handmaid's wrist.

That hand was like an iron pincer, and no matter how hard the servant girl struggled, she couldn't get rid of it.

"You...... Who are you?, how did you get in?," cried the maid in alarm.

"How did you get in?" Li Lin smiled slightly: "Don't discuss this yet, I still want to ask you, why are you doing this? What can't you say well, you have to use violence to solve it?"

"You...... You...... You ......" The maid said three times in a row, so surprised that she couldn't speak, she couldn't imagine how the young man in front of her appeared in this room without warning, obviously the security was very strong outside?

"Let me tell you, everyone is a civilized person, it is not good to move your hands and feet, if there is a dispute, try to be loud first, this is what a civilized person should do!" Li Lin shook his head, looking helpless.

"I don't care who you are, you ...... right now" The maid seemed to come back to her senses, and roared loudly at Li Lin, but she was only halfway through the roar and was immediately interrupted.
