Chapter 647: Deciding
Xu Chenglin thought about it and decided to wait for Lin Daocheng to send it to the door himself.
Judging from Lin Daocheng's behavior of jumping onto the boat to find him when he couldn't wait for him to return to the barracks, it should be Lin Daocheng who was anxious.
As a result, in the evening, Lin Daocheng had not yet come, but Xu Chengyi came to the door with a bruised face.
"Big brother, you have to make the decision for me! That bastard in Lin Daocheng said he was going to kill me!"
Xu Chengyi didn't cry, but the hatred flashing in his eyes made his heart sink.
Xu Chenglin looked at her a few times, and made sure that she was just some skin trauma, so he said lightly:
"Go back, he won't dare kill you. β
Now Xu Chengyi is the person who married the two families, and he can be regarded as the face of the Hou Mansion of Weibei, as long as Lin Daocheng does not intend to tear this face, he will not dare to kill Xu Chengyi.
The hatred in Xu Chengyi's eyes suddenly turned into madness, and he asked with hatred:
"Big brother, you are also my own brother, even if I was not born by my mother, we are always a father, right?
Xu Chenglin was really indifferent.
If Cheng Huan was bullied, he would naturally be desperate to protect him, but Xu Chengyi, he really lost that heart now.
He looked at the embarrassed Xu Chengyi coldly, without a trace of pity and sympathy at all:
"You and Cheng Huan are not comparable at all, and don't compare you with her. You have this family business, you have made your own decisions, and your current life is also like this by yourself, and I will protect you from death at most. Let's go back. β
"But I'm for the Hou Mansion, I'm for you! Lin Daocheng slapped me in the face, and he also slapped the face of the Hou Mansion!"
Xu Chengyi shouted unwillingly.
She originally thought that after marrying the lord of the southeast like Lin Daocheng, and having the Weibei Hou Mansion as a backer, how could her life be glorious and prosperous, and everything would be right, but what kind of life is she living now?
Lin Daocheng didn't say countless concubines, and she also spoiled the concubines and killed his wife, she just scratched the faces of those sluts, and he actually dared to beat her!
"You married to the southeast, who you are for, you know in your own heart. If it weren't for this face, I wouldn't have kept you from dying. β
Xu Chenglin was too lazy to quarrel with her, and after saying coldly, he stopped looking at her and ordered the little girl to send off the guest:
"Find someone to send Mrs. Lin back, come back next time, don't let her in casually." β
When Xu Chengyi was taken out by two strong mothers-in-law, he finally understood that Xu Chenglin really didn't care about her, and scolded in despair:
"Xu Chenglin, you are wolf-hearted, ruthless and unjust! You deserve Xu Chenghuan to die early, you deserve to be thrown here by the emperor, you all deserve ......"
Xu Chenglin turned his back to Xu Chengyi, resisted the urge to strangle her, and sighed heavily.
Who is a wolf-hearted, ruthless and unrighteous person?
Xu Chengyi is his sister-in-law, and she was also a well-behaved and lovely white jade group when she was young, although she was favored by Aunt Zhu and was a little arrogant, Xu Chenglin also really loved her for a few years.
It wasn't until he saw her smash a glass ornament in her father's study, but she wanted to frame it on Cheng Huan's head, that he realized that she had repeatedly calculated Cheng Huan, and since then Xu Chenglin's love for her has faded.
As she grew older, her concubines became more and more distinct, Xu Chengyi helped Aunt Zhu repeatedly provoke her mother, and later made those bold things, and Xu Chenglin's last bit of brother-sister friendship with her was finally completely extinguished.
Such a sister is really no different from an enemy.
After the two mothers-in-law drove Xu Chengyi out, they stood under the porch and gossiped:
"This second aunt and grandmother are really not smart, at this time, shouldn't they be soft to the prince and say a few good words? I look at the prince and I am not hard-hearted, she said well, can you ignore her? Where can you be like this, if you can't ask for someone, you will scold people, who still has the heart to pay attention to her!"
The other mother-in-law followed Xu Chenglin from the capital and did some rough work along the way, and was an old servant of the Weibei Hou Mansion, and sneered when she heard it:
"Old sister, you don't know, this second aunt and grandmother grew up with her aunt, she originally had a lot of temper, and she didn't have a brain at all, how did she say that sentence - take the blame on herself, this person, how can she live like this!"
Not long after Xu Chengyi was driven away, Lin Daocheng came to the door.
Xu Chenglin stood on the steps and looked at him, and when he saw him enter the door angrily, he sneered:
"You husband and wife have a good heart, one by one, they take turns running to me at night, and they don't let people rest, don't you?"
Lin Daocheng stood in the courtyard and scolded:
"Xu Chenglin, I really doubt your tutor in the Hou Mansion in Weibei! You are the son of the world, with a small belly and chicken intestines, your sister is also the daughter of the Hou Mansion, not as good as a shrew, Lao Tzu really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes before he met your family!"
When Xu Chenglin heard him question the tutor of the Hou Mansion like this, he couldn't help but get angry and said angrily:
"This is what you yourself pleaded with me, and you can complain about others? Our Hou Mansion is also Xu Chengyi, who is more than enough for you, and the person who cried and shouted that he wanted to marry was you! You beat her, and I haven't settled accounts with you, but you dare to come to me to make trouble?"
No matter how he treats Xu Chengyi, it's his business, but Lin Daocheng's words are too bad!
Lin Daocheng slammed the wine jar he brought on the table:
"! She must have sued you first, didn't she?"
Lin Daocheng was so angry that he waved his hands and feet, and a good young talent was tortured by this marriage to the point of decadence:
"Lao Tzu has long regretted it, and his intestines are so green with regret that his intestines are blue! Your sister is simply twisted out by the old woman of vinegar sauce, and she is reincarnated as a dominatrix! Go and see for yourself, can those concubines in my backyard still live now? What is your sister's heart made of, using a knife to cut people's faces? Lao Tzu thinks that he is a bastard, and he can't do such a femme fatale! If it weren't for your face, Lao Tzu would have slaughtered her with a knife!"
Xu Chenglin's face does not change:
"You slaughter one and try it!"
But he was secretly shocked in his heart, no wonder people like Lin Daocheng, who had always pitied the fragrance and cherished the jade, couldn't help but make a move on Xu Chengyi, Xu Chengyi's method was really vicious.
However, it is also in response to that sentence, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and a ruthless and thick-skinned villain like Lin Daocheng and Xu Chengyi are really a natural pair.
Don't look at Lin Daocheng who seems to be very close to him now, when he first arrived in the southeast, how many open guns and hidden arrows were not all thorny roads paved for him by Lin Daocheng?
Lin Daocheng choked on these words, didn't Xu Chengyi just rely on himself and didn't dare to kill her?
But after thinking about the purpose of his visit, he endured his anger and regained his calm:
"That's it, I didn't expect you, the eldest brother, to administer any justice to me, who made you all surnamed Xu, you are a family!
Xu Chenglin admired Lin Daocheng's ability to calm his face freely, so he suppressed his anger and listened to him.
Lin Daocheng sat down on the chair with a big grin, knocked on the table, leaned forward, lowered his voice, and looked mysterious:
"I heard that the emperor has cut off his children and grandchildren, do you know about this?"
Xu Chenglin nodded, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"Then you clearly tell me, is this matter done by your Hou Mansion and Qin Wangfu in partnership?"
This sentence made Xu Chenglin Huo Ran change color:
"Who slandered us?"
In my heart, I was immediately vigilant - this matter was the hand of my aunt and concubine, no matter what she wanted to do it for, once it was known, thinking of the current court situation, I am afraid that everyone would think that it was instructed by the Hou Mansion!
And the father and the king of Qin would not use such means. Cutting off people's descendants, this kind of unjust thing will be damned by God!
When Lin Daocheng saw him like this, he was uncertain in his heart, and lowered his eyes and said:
"Isn't it you who did it? Your Hou Mansion's ambition can be hidden from others, but you can't hide it from me!"
"Our Hou Mansion has been loyal for generations, where is there any ambition!" Xu Chenglin was angry.
At most, it's just a change of emperor!
Lin Daocheng didn't believe it:
"No ambition? Let's talk about your Hou Mansion, your aunt is the concubine in the palace, your sister is the late Empress Xiaoyuan, and the queen who is still alive today is still in the name of your sister, your righteous sister is the princess of King Qin, your fiancΓ©e, and the concubine of the Duke of Liang, tell me, which other family in the capital is more prominent than your Hou Mansion in-laws? You say that your Hou Mansion has no ambition, who believes it?"
Lin Daocheng went around in such a big circle, and Xu Chenglin also understood his temptation.
Lin Daocheng knew about the affairs of the capital, but these were his own blind guesses.
Xu Chenglin completely relaxed, leaned back comfortably in the chair, and looked at Lin Daocheng firmly:
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"You should beg me, Xu Chenglin?" Lin Daocheng didn't expect Xu Chenglin to be so calm. "At this time, it is impossible for the emperor to have any more heirs, what about the heir? This is not something that will happen after waiting for a few more years, you say, is it the king of Qin who will come back as the emperor again, or the king of Jin?"
Xu Chenglin is very stable:
"As courtiers, we naturally listen to the emperor, and the emperor will pass the throne to whoever he wants. β
Lin Daocheng really couldn't stand Xu Chenglin's tone, so he simply stood up with his robe, raised his foot and kicked at Xu Chenglin's chair:
"Xu Chenglin, your Xu family's hypocrisy is too much, right? I'm here tonight to ask you to be accurate, in this world, your Hou Mansion and the Qin Wangfu, do you plan or not?"
Xu Chenglin sat steady as a rock, not moving:
"What if you plan, what if you don't?"
Lin Daocheng looked righteous and awe-inspiring:
"The Ming people don't say dark words, you and I are now divided into the southeast. Although our two families are married, they will not be tied together. If you plot for King Qin, then from now on, we will be enemies of life and death! If not, then follow me and support King Jin together! At least, you can't meddle in my military affairs!"
"King Jin?"
In Xu Chenglin's memory, King Jin is a simple teenager, but no matter how simple a person is, he has to grow up, and at this juncture, it is impossible for King Jin to easily avoid these rights and wrongs.
But......
"What does King Jin have to do with you?"
Lin Daocheng smiled:
"King Jin's biological mother, Lin Guifei of the first emperor, is my cousin, the serious daughter of the Lin family. β
"So that's ......," Xu Chenglin suddenly realized.
The Lin family is ambitious, and they are ready to take advantage of this opportunity to support the king of Jin, and then become a relative?
"Since that's the case......"
After thinking for a moment, Xu Chenglin also smiled, with the gentle appearance of a humble son:
"Whether you plan it or not, I will not interfere in the dealings between your Lin family and the King of Jin. After all, according to the bloodline, the King of Jin and the emperor are close relatives. β
This time it was Lin Daocheng's turn to be surprised-the best result he expected was that Xu Chenglin would not interfere with him to support King Jin without knowing it, and he might secretly make a stumbling block, how could he let go so easily?
Xu Chenglin is not a person who can be easily recognized!
Could it be that the Weibei Hou Mansion and the Qin Wangfu really have no ambitions?
He would never believe it!
But now that the goal has been achieved, Lin Daocheng will not say more.
"Then let's make up our minds, if you dare to stumble behind your back in the future, don't blame me for turning my face!"
Lin Daocheng got up and was about to leave.
When he walked to the door, he was stopped by Xu Chenglin again.
"Your Lin family has a very good plan, but I remember that it seems that since Lin Guifei died, your Lin family has never cared about the life or death of King Jin, and now you are so confident, your Lin family can have the face to follow King Jin?"
Lin Daocheng's face suddenly darkened, stood for a moment, and said angrily:
"This is the matter of our Lin family and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, what do we have to do with you!"
Xu Chenglin had a number in his heart, so he went out to send Lin Daocheng with a good temper:
"Yes, this is my trouble, brother-in-law, don't blame me! By the way, do you still drink this wine?"
Lin Daocheng brushed his sleeves away:
"Drink a fart, honor you good uncle! I'm also a lard and I'm going to be your brother-in-law!"
Lin Daocheng's figure quickly disappeared into the breezy night, and Xu Chenglin looked up at the starry sky.
He didn't understand the stars, but he could tell that the world was about to become a mess.
But this matter is interesting, since the Lin family also knows the loss, and knows that they have no face in the face of King Jin, they must have to find a way to make a name and earn face in front of King Jin.
If the Hou Mansion and the Qin Wangfu took the opportunity to benefit from it, it would really be a good thing.
Xu Chenglin was in a good mood.
Recently, the people in the capital have been spreading rumors everywhere about the grievances of the Qin Palace.
"Qin Wangfu has not been smooth for so many years, and he has been wronged all the time!"
"But no, the King of Qin was born and died for Daqi, and after returning to Beijing, the good days have not passed for a few days, and his daughter-in-law and children are all gone, and he has to go to the northwest to suffer! This has eaten the wind and sand in the northwest for so many years, and now he uses others, and he is allowed to go to war, and he also asked him to send a son to the capital to be a proton, it is really ...... Hey, if it were me, I wouldn't send my son over!"
"That's it, you see that this prince of Qin came to the capital obediently, but he was grounded all day long, and finally stuffed a daughter-in-law with crazy stupidity to him, and finally became a relative, then the princess of Qin is still decent, but she was forced by the emperor to hit the pillar, and she doesn't know if she lives or dies!"
"Yes, yes, and last time, it was said that there was an assassin in the palace, and the prince of Qin was injured in the rescue, but who knows what is in between? This is not the end, people finally escaped with their lives, and sent people to the southwest of nine deaths!"
"Alas, this is really chilling! Prince Qin has been loyal all his life, but he ended up like this!"
