Chapter 12: Acting and crying
As soon as Ling Wanrou saw her expression, her heart suddenly blossomed, it was done, Ling Haoyue was finished from now on, and from now on, she was the only girl in the Ling Guo Mansion. Thinking like this in his heart, he had to make a show on his face, picked up the handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes, and looked at Ling Haoyue with a sad expression.
"Second sister, why is your life so bitter, how good is it for a girl to encounter this kind of thing. ”
Hearing this, Ling Haoyue couldn't hold back any longer, tears burst out of her eyes, and she threw herself into the arms of the old lady, without making a sound of crying, and her trembling body revealed the fear and sadness in her heart;
"Grandmother......" The delicate voice shook the old lady's heart.
The old lady is getting older, and her admiration is getting heavier and heavier, in the end, she is her own granddaughter, that is, what she doesn't like, she is also left behind at this time, her hands are gently on Ling Haoyue's back, why is this girl so thin, this back is full of bones, remembering that she has not loved this granddaughter too much in the past few years, but values Ling Wanrou, the daughter of the long house, more importantly, she feels a little guilty in her heart.
With a click, the old lady visibly felt a watery object fall on her other hand.
I was distressed.
"Yue'er, tell grandmother, what's wrong? Don't be afraid, grandmother is in charge of you!" The old lady has always been not very close to Ling Haoyue, how could she ever say such a thing.
Ling Haoyue cried out loud, but she didn't speak.
Ling Wanrou also started crying, crying and saying, "My poor sister. ”
Ling Xueliu didn't know why, Aunt Mei pulled her tightly, and told her with her eyes that it was best not to come out at the moment.
After crying for a while, Ling Haoyue raised her head, looked at the old lady with red eyes, and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter almost can't see her grandmother, someone wants to kill me." ”
As soon as these words came out, the old lady was furious: "What! Who is so bold that he dares to do something to the young lady of my Ling Guo Mansion!"
Ling Wanrou felt strange in her heart, she didn't let people kill her, she just wanted to speak, but was grabbed by Zhao, Zhao pinched her hand, and signaled her not to speak.
"Haoyue went back early in the morning, but I didn't expect to meet someone on the road who wanted to kill me, fortunately Uncle Zhong arrived in time, otherwise I would have to go to reunite with my father and mother below. ”
Ling Wanrou's heart was cold, and she let her escape again! Her eyes glanced at Zhao's side, thinking that she would not leave any tricks. Zhao Shi gave her a slightly calm look, she had been in charge of the Ling Guo Mansion for so many years, and she had never seen anything.
When it comes to the second son who died early, the old lady was even more angry, the second son of the Lingguo Mansion was the best among the sons of the family in terms of appearance and talent, and his modesty and filial piety made her very proud of being a mother, but the most satisfied son died early, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and she almost swallowed the old bones.
Now, someone dared to do something to her son's only heir, and the old lady was full of anger when she thought about it.
"What about the murderer, is he dead, who is going to kill you? Where is Uncle Zhong? Call him in. ”
Ling Haoyue replied one by one: "Uncle Zhong is waiting outside the door. ”
Mother Zhou hurriedly instructed the maid to bring Uncle Zhong in.
Before Uncle Zhong could salute, he saw the old lady wave her hand and said, "Ah Zhong, tell me, what's going on!" The old lady expected that Ling Haoyue was just a fourteen-year-old girl, and she had never seen this kind of thing, so she must not be able to say clearly, so she didn't care that all the women present were dependents, and directly called Uncle Zhong in for questioning.
"I dreamed of the general last night, and I heard that the county lord was back today, and I felt worried, so I took a few people to pick up the county lord back to the house, who knew that the county lord was chased and killed on the way, but fortunately I arrived in time, killed the man, and saved the county lord. ”
In fact, Ling Haoyue had already sent a letter to Uncle Zhong to secretly follow him on the road, but in order not to make the old lady suspicious, there was a dream of Ling Ju Mato, and the old lady was old and naturally believed in this.
"Is the man dead?" said the old lady hurriedly, "what about the murderer behind the scenes?"
Uncle Zhong shook his head and said, "At that time, the situation was urgent, and I couldn't leave a living mouth, but I found three thousand taels of silver tickets from him, and it said ......"
"What is it?" Ling Wanrou hurriedly asked.
Zhao's heart was anxious, Rou'er was too calm, she had always done things neatly, how could she leave a handle.
"It's the seal of Yintai Bank. Uncle Zhong replied, "I want someone to take money to buy a murderer regularly, how can a killer have such a big silver ticket, so I have already sent someone to Yintai Money Village to check." ”
Ling Wanrou's heart tightened, and she was in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to be holding the silver ticket from her uncle's money bank!
Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old lady, Yintai Qianzhuang is my brother's shop, it is better for my daughter-in-law to go there in person, so it is convenient to check." ”
The old lady wanted to check the account books of other people's shops, after all, it was not very good, and it would be good to have Zhao's assistance from it, so she nodded and agreed.
The Zhao clan pulled Ling Wanrou and left quickly.
