Lin Bining spent more than two months from Cixin to Longxuan, and went to two places halfway to find the person surnamed Shen on the list given by Zhen Mosi before, and it was confirmed that she had nothing to do with her biological mother. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Finally set foot on the homeland of Longxuan, the place where she was born, and the place where her father grew up, Lin Bining's heart fluctuated, her eyes were slightly red, and she pursed her lips tightly to suppress the feeling of wanting to tremble.

I've never lived here before, but I feel very familiar.

Early the next morning, Lin Bining couldn't wait to go to the Lin family's former residence.

There has been no human population for more than ten years, and the wooden things such as the doors and windows in the Lin Mansion have disappeared, not to mention the furnishings in the house, all of which have disappeared without a trace, and they are thought to have been taken away.

How anxious were they when they left, why couldn't they even sell the house, or was there another reason?

Most of the high walls had collapsed, the roof tiles were much less, and the sunlight shone directly on the ground from above, Lin Bi stared at the overgrown and dilapidated yard, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

The wind in September was a little cool, and it was even more cold when she stood in the deserted house, she couldn't help but shiver, and said to Shi Jian and Peng Yue without looking back: "Let's go, let's go to Mrs. Xu's house." ”

"Yes, young master." The two responded in unison.

Before leaving, they all looked back at the Lin family without the plaque, they used to know that the master's hometown was in Longxuan, but they didn't expect that this place would be defeated so far, and the Lin Mansion in Shangdu is really the same heaven and earth.

When he was on the boat, Bai Yi received a message that Yicheng needed him to go over in advance, so he didn't accompany Lin Bining to Longxuan, and went all the way to Yicheng.

Bai Yi originally wanted to leave half of the secret guard to Lin Bining, but she just checked some things beforehand, and she wouldn't encounter any danger, but he had a task on his side, which was much more dangerous than her. In the end, she persuaded him to keep only two.

Mrs. Xu's house is in the village outside the city, about two hours away from the city, there is Bai Yi's carriage, Lin Bining leaned against the car wall and closed her eyes thinking about her thoughts, feeling that it would not take long to arrive at the place.

After getting out of the car, a simple courtyard surrounded by a fence came into view, and the squire stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted loudly inside: "Is Mrs. Xu at home?" Is Mrs. Xu here? ”

"Who?" An old woman's voice came from inside the room.

An old lady dressed in a brown cheesecloth caftan with a slightly bulging back, and a black and yellow complexion walked out, with her hair coiled in blue cloth on her head, and she was full of energy.

Seeing that the person who came was older, Shi Jian asked, "May I ask if you are Mrs. Xu?" ”

"I am, who are you? What's the matter with me? Mrs. Xu looked at the three people in front of her suspiciously, especially Lin Bining, who always felt a little familiar.

Lin Bining took a few steps closer and said with a smile: "Old man, you worked in the Lin family that opened an incense shop fourteen years ago, my name is Lin Changru, and I am Lin Wenliang's son, I have a few questions for you when I come to the old man this time." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Young Master Lin! Come on, come in and sit down. When you were born, young master, when I sent hot water to the delivery room, I also saw the young master, with a small mouth and a small nose, and he looked so beautiful, and he really looked so good when he grew up. Mrs. Xu smiled kindly, and her eyes looked through her as if she wanted to see her as a baby.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly opened the courtyard door and invited them in, wiped the tables and chairs before daring to invite her to sit down, poured a glass of boiled water, and said, "The old woman has no tea at home, so the young master will drink saliva." ”

"It's okay, old man, sit down too." Lin Bining smiled at her, and told Shi Jian and Peng Yue to go outside to guard, she didn't plan to let them know about her biological mother.

Mrs. Xu shirked a few times, and then sat down on the opposite side, and said crampedly: "I don't know what the young master wants to ask?" ”

"Old man, I want to know about my mother's past? From the time she arrived at the Lin family, you told me in detail. Lin Bining's hands clenched unconsciously.

After many years, she finally knew about her biological mother.

"That thing starts with the twenty-third year of Yongrui." Mrs. Xu's eyes were far away, and she slowly recalled, "In March of that year, the master, that is, the young master, your father went out to travel, and when he returned the next year, he brought back two young and beautiful women. One surnamed Shen is the master's life-saving benefactor, and half a month later he married the master and became the wife of the Lin Mansion, that is, the mother of the young master, and the other is called Ruyue, who is the wife's personal maid. ”

"Personal maid!" Lin Bining exclaimed.

How did Zhao Ruyue become her mother's maid!

"Old man, that maid is surnamed Zhao?" She hurriedly asked.

Mrs. Xu's voice was frightened, and she nodded stunnedly: "It's surnamed Zhao, and everyone in the house respects her as Miss Zhao." She came back to her senses and continued, "Mrs. and my lord have a good relationship, and the next year my wife was pregnant with a dragon and phoenix fetus, and gave birth to a child in September. It should be the first day of the first month of October, and the Lin Mansion suddenly changed the sky. Because there was something at home that day, I was not in the house, and when I went back in the evening, I received a severance pay from the housekeeper, saying that the lord and they would move out of the Lin Mansion tomorrow. I also asked the people who were in the house during the day, but they couldn't understand what was going on. The next day, the lord and they left Longxuan with a team of carriages, and I never saw the Lin family again. ”

She sighed deeply, the lord and wife of the Lin family are kind to others, and in addition to the salary, there are rewards from time to time, and it is much easier to work in the Lin family than ordinary people.

"Do you know if my mother was with them?" Lin Bining asked softly.

"I didn't see my wife that night or the next morning, and they told me that she seemed to be home, but no one knew where her house was." Mrs. Xu shook her head and said.

At this moment, I understand that the young master of the Lin family probably doesn't know his mother's whereabouts until now, so he came to her to ask, alas, it's really pitiful!

Lin Bining saw that she had understood, and asked directly, "Then do you know my mother's name?" ”

Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "I don't know, where is the name of my wife that those of us who do rough work can know!" ”

"And how are my mother and grandmother on a day-to-day basis?"

Lin Bining asked vaguely, but Mrs. Xu understood at once, and sighed: "Mrs. is very good to the old lady, but the old lady doesn't like her very much, and often sets rules for her wife." Alas, it may be because the wife is not the daughter-in-law that the old lady took a fancy to before. ”

Her heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Grandmother made a marriage for my father before?" ”

"Uh...... In fact, it is not a fixed marriage. Mrs. Xu scratched her head, "The old lady and the old lady of the Du family often come and go, and the Du family Miss also often comes to the Lin Mansion as a guest, at that time, people are rumoring that the old lady intends to marry the Du family for the master, and then the old lady married the wife, and the Du family has never been to the door again, this rumor is more and more true." ”

A letter came to Lin Bining's mind, and she said word by word: "Is that Miss Du called Du Ziying?" ”
