When I arrived in the living room, I saw a woman sitting in a precarious position drinking tea, and Wu took Lin Qingyue forward to apologize: "Let you wait for Mrs. Yang for a long time, look at me I was busy and didn't go to meet you, it's really a sin, I hope Mrs. won't be surprised." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Mrs. Yang stood up and said with an extremely sincere smile: "Where, Lord Lin is sick, Mrs. Lin is working day and night, but I am bothering you, Mrs. Lin." It should have been bothered in the house a long time ago, but I have been worshipping the Buddha in the Great Country Temple for a while, and I see that you have lost a lot of weight, but you have to pay attention to your body. ”

"Thank you Madame for your concern, please take a seat. Wu replied politely and said to Lin Qingyue: "Yue'er, I haven't seen Mrs. Yang yet." "The two governments don't have much personal relationship, and they often meet at banquets in the palace, and they can't say a few words.

Lin Qingyue stepped forward obediently and gave her a generous salute, "Qingyue has seen Madame." ”

Mrs. Yang sat and helped herself, her eyes were full of love, and she praised: "Madam is really blessed, she has a good daughter who is like a flower and a jade and sensible and well-behaved, unlike the girl in my family, who is so naughty that it makes people break their hearts." ”

Hearing Mrs. Yang's praise, Lin Qingyue smiled shyly and lowered her head shyly.

"Where is it, Miss Yang is as beautiful as a fairy, smart and clever, and she is deeply liked by everyone. Of course, it is a happy thing for someone to praise his daughter, and the smile on Wu's face is even more relaxed at this moment.

After greeting for a while, Mrs. Yang cut to the topic and said with concern: "I don't know how Lord Lin's body is? My lord was worried, so he asked me to bring some small gifts to Lord Lin to make up for his body." A small gift is not a tribute, and I hope that Lord Lin will recover soon. As she spoke, the maid who followed her stepped forward and offered her a gift.

The affairs of the court did not have their share of words, and the two did not mention the unhappiness caused by the previous impeachment of Lin Lanhai. Wu asked people to accept it, and said with a smile: "Lord Lao Yang is bothered, so I will borrow your auspicious words from Mrs. ”

After a polite conversation, Li'er hurriedly came in and whispered in Wu's ear: "Madam, the porter came to report that there was a Taoist chief outside who asked to see him, saying that he had just passed by here, and saw that there was a demonic aura shrouded in the mansion, and there were demons at work. The subordinates did not dare to make decisions at will, so they specially asked the slave maid to ask the lady. ”

"What?" Wu's face flashed with anger, and then he retreated, nodded to Mrs. Yang, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Mrs. Yang, suddenly there is something to do, you wait for a while, and after I deal with it, I will come over to accompany Mrs. to continue chatting." How?"

"Mrs. Lin has something to ask for, and after bothering me for so long, it's time for me to leave. Mrs. Yang didn't care when she stood up, smart people know how to observe words and feelings, and it is inconvenient for her as a guest to stay longer if the host has something.

"Li'er, send Mrs. Yang for me. ”

"Don't bother, take care, ma'am. Mrs. Yang politely said goodbye, and then left on her own with the maid.

When passing through the small garden, I saw a person in Taoist costume not far away striding towards the backyard of the Lin Mansion, and the subordinates of the Lin Mansion chased after him in a panic to stop him. She frowned, and heard two maids whispering behind the rockery.

"Do you say that there are really ghosts and monsters in the world? Just now, the chief said that there were demons in the Lin Mansion, and I was so scared that I couldn't give up. ”

Another voice said: "Who knows! You see that in the past few days of the old man's illness, the imperial doctor has asked one after another to see no improvement, and he can't even find out the cause of the disease, and the people in the house say that it is a ghost." I look at the appearance of a fairy wind Dao bone just now, and it doesn't look like a charlatan. The most important thing is that he forced his way into the house without waiting for his wife's consent, and he didn't need to be led by someone to know how to go to his wife's courtyard, maybe he really had some ability. ”

"Be quiet, if you let Madame know, it will be terrible. ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Mrs. Yang's face changed dramatically. I didn't expect to encounter such an unfortunate thing. After a long time, it turned out that Lord Lin was not sick, but evil. Thinking about it, my heart was numb, and my pace quickened and I couldn't wait to fly out of the Lin Mansion immediately, and I was afraid that I would be contaminated with bad luck if I stayed here for a second longer. Knowing this, she wouldn't have come, not to mention wasting a box of century-old ginseng in vain, and going back with a bad luck.

No, this matter can't just be settled, the affairs of the Lin Mansion have to be publicized to her, and I don't know how many other people have been deceived before, so I have to give her good wives a reminder, so as not to run into bad luck like her.

She left in a hurry, and behind the rockery, the two maids looked at each other and smiled, and quietly retreated.

Wu returned to the West Courtyard, and seeing her with a worried face, Lin Qingyue asked, "What's wrong, mother?"

"Just now, the porter came to report, and a Taoist priest asked to see him outside the door, saying that there are monsters in our house. A little maid whispered to Lin Qingyue.

"What?" Lin Qingyue exclaimed in surprise, throwing Wu a look at it, I was not wrong.

After stabilizing his mind, Wu glared and scolded: "Someone, tell me to go down, and immediately drive him away for Mrs. Ben, and let him talk nonsense." "Oh no, she shouldn't have let Mrs. Yang leave at this time, in case they bumped into each other, something would happen. Wu Shi reacted at this, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

"Mother, why don't we invite him in and have a look!" The world believes in ghosts and gods the most, and Lin Qingyou is inexplicably scared.

Wu's face turned pale, how could she not understand what Yue'er meant. It's just that it's not appropriate to have more incidents at this time, not to mention that there is no such thing, even if there is such a thing, it must be rotten in the stomach and can't admit it, otherwise it will be known by others, and who will dare to deal with the Lin Mansion. The Wu family's always ruthless and decisive style has no less blood on his hands, and at this moment, his heart is somewhat weak, and he still looks fearless on the surface, "Nonsense, if you are bumped into by Mrs. Yang, Lin Mansion will not be able to explain it with a hundred mouths, how will your father gain a foothold in the court in the future." ”

"What are you insisting on at this time? Is it the daddy or the reputation that matters? Anyway, let's give it a try. Big deal to let him in through the back door. Lin Qingyue's dissatisfied tone couldn't help but say.

"Well, it seems that the young lady is an insightful person. An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded, and I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest walking in. He has a square face, dressed in a yellow robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and his face is quite a bit fairy-like.

The subordinate guarding the door followed behind, and helplessly pleaded with Wu: "Please spare your life, Madame, the villain really can't stop the Taoist." ”

Wu suppressed the panic in his heart, and pretended to be calm and snorted coldly, "Bold, you Dao Chang is rude, and you trespassed into the mansion without the consent of your master, really when my Ministry of Shangshu Mansion is your Dao Hall, you can come if you want to?"

"Mother, since the Taoist chief has come in, let him try, can you bear to watch your father suffer all the time. Lin Qingyue didn't care much, turned her head and said to the Dao Chief: "Then it's troublesome to the Dao Chief, if you save your father, we will definitely reward you heavily." ”

The Taoist shook his head with a profound face, and without saying anything, he put down his things and went to Lin Lanhai's bed to arrange the practice.

"What do you want to do to the master?" Wu roared a little out of control, and was about to step forward to stop it, but Lin Qingyue stopped her and comforted: "It's okay, mother." Let's let the Taoist triumphant, and if it doesn't work, we're punishing him. ”

Wu wrinkled unhappily, thinking that Lin Lanhai was suffering from illness and finally endured it. Try it, if you can't cure the master, even the crime of trespassing in the Lin Mansion will be counted for him. Thinking of calling Li'er to give a few soft instructions, let her arrange for the guards in the house to wait outside the courtyard, in case it doesn't work out, he won't be able to come back.

After the arrangement, the long began with a serious face. He lit a stick of incense on the table, then drew his sword and swung it around, chanting words in his mouth, and a series of incantations matched his movements, driving away the demons in the house. After a moment, he took two sips of wine, and with a "poof" sound, he sprayed on the sword, and with a finger of the sword, several charms on the table automatically flew up and burned ashes in the incense burner. Then he grabbed a handful of ashes of the spell and put it in a bowl, poured water to fuse it, sprinkled it everywhere in the room, and fed the rest to Lin Lanhai to drink.

After a while, Lin Lanhai opened his eyes slightly, his eyes began to be clear, and he muttered, "Madam, what's wrong with me?"

Hearing his voice, Wu and Lin Qingyue were overjoyed and quickly walked to the bed. Holding his hand, Wu's heart that had been worried for many days finally relaxed. His nose was sour, and he said with tears of joy: "Master, you are awake." ”

Lin Lanhai nodded weakly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Daddy hasn't eaten for a few days, so go and ask the kitchen to get the prepared bird's nest. Lin Qingyue commanded.

Seeing him wake up, the chief packed up his things and prepared to leave. Wu hurriedly got up to send him off, compared to the rude attitude just now, it was a 180-degree turn, "Thank you Daoist, I don't know which Taoist temple the elder came from, after the old man recovers, we should go to thank the Taoist for his great kindness." So saying, he sent the maid to the account office to pay a hundred taels of silver as a thank-you gift.

"No need, Mrs. was stubborn and poor, and she didn't want to take care of it, but God has the virtue of a good life, so she insisted on making a move. This time is also considered our fate, and all the vulgar rites are stopped. The long tone was cold, and now he was arrogant and arrogant. Saying that, he looked at Lin Lanhai: "Although the demon has been exorcised, the adult body is still very weak after being sucked by it. Poor Dao observed the weather, the aura in the southwest is very strong, if you can, you can go out of the house to cultivate, it will be helpful for the recovery of the adult's body. ”

"In the southwest, we have Zhuangzi there, so let's let Daddy go there to cultivate, mother. Lin Qingyue said excitedly.

Wu took the lead in agreeing, "There can't be a shortage of people in charge in the house, so I can't accompany your father this time, so let the housekeeper bring more people." The Wu family made arrangements with a word, taking care of the master is a great opportunity to perform, she can't go, and naturally she can't let other concubines please her.

The maid took the silver, and the chief said that he would not accept anything, and finally the Lin Mansion sent the person away with a thousand thanks.

Lin Xiaoyou took a nap, and when he woke up, he washed up and woke up under the service of Xiangqing, and the secret guard came back with the news. She asked Xiangqing to wait outside, drinking chicken soup while listening to the secret guard's report on the Lin Mansion.

The secret guard said in detail, Lin Lanhai's condition, what the Taoist chief did, the reactions of the Wu family and Lin Qingyue, including the lady Yang who came to visit, everything was said in detail.

After listening, Lin Xiaoyou nodded calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, you don't have to go to the Lin Mansion, staring at that Mrs. Yang." "That Taoist priest must be someone arranged by Xiahou Yichen, so naturally he deliberately stepped on the time when Mrs. Yang came to the door. Everything is developing according to their plan, and it is not surprising that Lin Lanhai will leave the house and go to Zhuangshang tomorrow. Bai Rong, it should also be her time to play. As for the Wu family, Mrs. Yang has always been the most disgusted with these things, with her help to publicize, spread the news that there are demons in the Lin Mansion, and see who dares to deal with the Lin Mansion with bad luck, she and Lin Qingyue's status in the circle of noblewomen is only afraid that they will not be as proud as before.

"Yes. The dark guard agreed, and suddenly disappeared.

"Fragrance, fragrance. Waiting for the secret guard to leave, Lin Xiaoyou called her.

Entering the house, Xiangqing asked, "What does the princess command?"

"You go to the firewood room and bring Bai Rong out, and let her come to see me after she freshens up. and let Duoduo and Sister Lan prepare something to eat. ”

"The slave and maid will go at once. Xiangqing said and quickly went down to arrange.

In the firewood room, Bai Rong curled up in the grass and did not move, she had not eaten or drunk for three days, her whole person was unkempt, haggard, embarrassed like a beggar on the side of the road, no longer shining brightly. For three days, she couldn't wait for the final fate, which made her very uneasy.

The door creaked open, and the harsh sunlight instantly lit up the room. Xiangqing stood at the door and said to her, "Bai Rong, the princess wants to see you." ”

The princess wants to see her? Bai Rong lazily raised her eyes to look at Xiangqing, and saw that her serious face did not look like a fake, so she came back to her senses and wanted to climb over in a hurry. Someone finally remembered her existence, and she didn't want to stay here for a moment. However, I haven't eaten for a few days, and my limp body crawled several times and didn't get up. In the days she was locked up here, she was shocked and frightened, and her intestines were full of regret. The fear and entanglement in her heart made her tormented, miserable, and afraid to die like this.

Xiangqing didn't urge her or help her, just waited patiently. Bai Rong's heart became more and more anxious, and he struggled for a while and finally stood up, and he took two dizzy steps and felt like he was floating in mid-air. Xiangqing took her to wash and change into clean clothes before taking her to see Lin Xiaoyu.

Walking into Shihuan Courtyard, Bai Rong's pace was slow, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't tell what he felt, whether he was dead or alive depended on the present.

"Princess, people have brought it. Lan Yu reminded beside Lin Xiaoyou. Looking at Bai Rong's gaze, full of sympathy.

Lin Xiaoyou put down the book in his hand and said lightly, "Let her in." ”

In the room, a rich meal was set up, and Xiangqing stepped aside to stand with Lan Yuduoduo. Bai Rong couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he smelled the fragrance of the food, and slowly knelt down in front of Lin Xiaoyou, "The slave has seen the princess. She lowered her head and couldn't see clearly, quietly waiting for Lin Xiaoyu's fate.

The first time we met, she just leaned over, and I didn't see her so respectful. Lin Xiaoyou was afraid that she couldn't bear it, so she turned her head sideways and tried not to look at her face, which was very similar to her mother's mother, and said softly: "Get up and eat something." ”

Is it ready to send her on the road? Bai Rong's heart was shocked, he raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaoyou in fear, his lips trembled slightly irrepressibly, and he knelt on the ground in a daze and didn't get up. "The princess spared her life, the slave knew that she was wrong, the slave and the maid were confused for a while, and she would not dare next time. ”

Lan Yu and the three of them looked at each other, waiting for a reaction with a look of contempt. The princess kindly let her out to give her food, but she thought that the princess wanted to harm her with the heart of a villain, thinking that everyone was as vicious as her. If it weren't for her own bad intentions and wanting to hook up with the prince, why would she end up like this.

"There are a hundred taels of silver on the table, and after eating and resting for the night, I will leave the palace early tomorrow morning. When leaving, go to the southwest, don't let the prince find out. Knowing that she had misunderstood, Lin Xiaoyu rarely explained, and continued to look at the book in his hand after telling what he meant.

Bai Rong looked stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and the princess was going to let her go.

"What are you doing in a daze, and you haven't thanked the princess. Xiangqing said angrily.

"Thank you for the great kindness of the princess, and thank you for the grace of the princess not to kill. Bai Rong kowtowed again and again, grateful.

Lin Xiaoyou waved his hand, "Let's go eat." "Where did she let her go, letting her leave was just secretly using her to get close to Lin Lanhai, and she couldn't afford to thank her at all.

He hadn't eaten for many days, smelling the aroma of the food on the table, Bai Rong couldn't help but gobble it up anymore. She was indeed extremely hungry, completely ignoring the eyes of others, and stuffed it into her mouth, and the so-called grooming had long been forgotten by her.

Xiangqing almost couldn't help but laugh secretly, but Duoduo pulled her sleeve on the side to stop it in time.
