Before Lin Ruochen woke up, he heard a quick knock on the door, and Hongzhi woke up Lin Ruochen early in the morning, bringing him a very bad news......

A moment later, Lin Ruochen hurriedly walked out of the room with Hongzhi, but met Lin Qing, who had just woken up, and both of them were stunned. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Ruochen thought for a while and decided to take Lin Qing out together, since he decided to use him as a chess piece, wouldn't it be a pity not to use him?

The three of them came to a separate courtyard, and Hongzhi broke into the room without thinking. Lin Ruochen asked Lin Qing to stay outside the door, and then followed Hongzhi into the room, and after entering the room, Lin Ruochen saw his mother sitting in the middle of the room at a glance.

Jiang Han was so frightened when he saw Lin Ruochen that he almost jumped up from the chair, but the person opposite Jiang Han was not shocked, still slowly tasting the tea in his hand.

"Hurry up and get out of here, you won't be able to leave if it's too late!" Lin Ruochen was anxious, for fear that the prince's people would come over at this time, but he was afraid of something, and the well-trained footsteps outside reminded Lin Ruochen that the prince was coming.

When the prince walked into the room, he saw that Lin Ruochen was also there, and nodded to him with a smile, as if he saw a friend who had known him for a long time. And when Lin Ruochen saw the prince, his heart slowly calmed down, at least now he is also here, and his mother is not alone with Xiya.

"Why is the prince here? Is there something urgent about coming overnight?"

The prince looked at Xiya, and then said to Lin Ruochen: "Mr. Xiya asked me to come here today, but I didn't expect to make an appointment with you at the same time." In that case, why don't we sit down together for a cup of tea and a chat?"

Jiang Han looked at Xiya in disbelief, after she found Xiya, she just wanted to catch up with him alone, but she didn't expect him to call someone else, Jiang Han's heart was suddenly desolate.

"Mr. Xiya has been missing for many years, why did he come back recently?" Lin Ruochen looked coldly at the man who was always drinking tea, and really wanted to give him a knife.

The prince smiled, of course he knew the reason why Xiya came back, he wanted to get rid of Jiang Han so that his people could enter the Lin family smoothly.

Xiya glanced at Lin Ruochen, and didn't even bother to say a word.

Lin Ruochen was furious, stood up and saluted the prince.

"Prince, I'll leave first if it's okay, and you can talk slowly. ”

The prince nodded, he was just pretending to catch a traitor today, and he didn't want to break the relationship between Xiya and Jiang Han at all, he actually had a more important purpose.

Lin Ruochen and his mother Jiang Han sat alone in the carriage, and neither of them spoke. When the carriage arrived at the door, Jiang Han did not get out of the carriage, and still sat motionless. Lin Ruochen didn't move, he was waiting for his mother to speak.

Jiang Han hesitated for a long time, it was not that she didn't want to say it, on the contrary, she needed to talk too much, but she didn't know where to start.

"We've known each other since we were young, and his father and my father were originally good friends, and if it weren't for his early death, he would have lived a better life. It's a pity that there is no if, after his father's death, life has not been very good. My father often took him to his home, not only sent him to learn to paint, but also often led him into the palace, and he became a painter in the palace. ”

Jiang Han smiled when he said this, but there were tears in his eyes when he laughed.

"No matter how my father objected, I always insisted on marrying him, and after he left, I waited for him, but I waited for the news that he had married. ”

Lin Ruochen wanted to take out the handkerchief to wipe her mother's tears, but she just thought about it and didn't make any moves.

Jiang Han seemed to be still immersed in fantasy, and he didn't even bother to wipe the tears on his face.

"After marrying your father, I still imagined that he would suddenly appear in front of me, take me by the hand and say that he would take me away. But after he appeared, he slapped me hard with facts, turning my years of lovesickness into a big joke. ”

Lin Ruochen looked ahead and listened to his mother's words without saying a word, he knew that if he hadn't arrived first today, the prince might have taken his mother away as a slut who had fornication. The consequences are terrible to think about, but the mother only knew that she was abandoned by her lover, but she didn't expect that her reputation was almost ruined.

"Go back and rest, we should treat today's incident as if it hadn't happened, don't go to see him again in the future, forget him completely!" After Lin Ruochen finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage and returned to his room. He knew that his mother must be sad, but he didn't have much sympathy for her. What's more, Jiang Han was not Lin Ruochen's biological mother, and they didn't usually talk much, so Lin Ruochen felt that he was also benevolent.

What Lin Ruochen never expected was that Jiang Han actually hanged himself!

By the time the maid found it in the morning, Jiang Han's body was already cold. Lin Ruochen calculated the time, and her mother estimated that she committed suicide not long after returning home, and she may not have any nostalgia for life at all. In fact, she just lost a man who had nothing to do with her, and the reason that really made her commit suicide was that years of hope came to naught, and she didn't know how to face life next.

Lin Ruochen's mood has always been very heavy, he feels that his mother's death is not worth it, and he has given his life for a person who does not love him. But now, her mother is lying alone in the cold coffin, while Xiya, whom she has loved all her life, is enjoying the prince's hospitality in the prince's east palace.

Lin Lin guarded Jiang Han's coffin, crying with snot and tears. After Lin Ruochen saw it, he was full of contempt for this father, and he clearly knew that the reason why his father was sad was because he was afraid that his mother's family would be dissatisfied with him, after all, his father-in-law was a favored second-class official.

After Jiang Han was buried, everyone in the family breathed a sigh of relief, and one of the younger brothers also whispered: "I can finally sleep peacefully!" After finishing speaking, he found that everyone was looking at him, so he immediately closed his mouth and lowered his head, and by the way, he also put away the relaxed expression on his face.

"Let's all go back and rest, but I'll put the ugly things first, and no one is allowed to go out shopping these days, lest anyone gossip about us. Lin Lin took the shelf of the head of the family and seriously educated everyone present.

After Lin Ruochen returned to the room, he realized that Hongzhi had been waiting for a long time. And the person who accompanied Hongzhi to wait was Lin Qing, since he saw Lin Ruochen and the prince meet last time, he thought that Lin Ruochen and the prince had a good relationship in private, so he wanted to tie up the prince's big tree through Lin Ruochen.

Lin Ruochen did not expose his caution, because he was deliberately trying to create the illusion of friendship with the prince.

"What's the matter?" Lin Ruochen asked Hongzhi in front of Lin Qing.

Hongzhi didn't understand what Lin Ruochen meant, looking at Lin Qing silent, he didn't know if Lin Qing could understand their private affairs, so he was a little wary of him.

Lin Ruochen smiled and said to Hongzhi: "Lin Qing is not an outsider, just say anything in front of him." ”

Hongzhi suddenly understood that what Lin Ruochen meant was to let Lin Qing know something he could know.

"The prince wants to see you, do you want to see him?"

Hongzhi deliberately said the opposite, who the prince wanted to see was just a matter of one sentence, but Hongzhi said as if Lin Ruochen could see it if he wanted to, and if he didn't want to see it, he could not see it.
