Chapter 25: Lose
can follow Xiao Yan and become a confidant, Xiao Yiqing is not only strong in martial arts, but also effective, but also careful and cautious, and has a good fortune.
got Xiao Yan's order to secretly investigate Lin Niangzi, and in less than a day, he collected all the events in Lin Long's life.
Xiao Yan crooked on the bed, closed his eyes and listened to Xiao Yiqing's reply, without saying a word, without making an evaluation, just listening quietly.
To be honest, Lin Long's life is really lackluster, the first ten years were similar to all the boudoir ladies in the world, reading, writing, doing needlework at home, and occasionally pointing out the family's livelihood. In the next five years, he was a doctor who went abroad, and within a limited range, he became a famous doctor.
The only thing worth noting is the opening of a tooth powder shop, but the tooth powder shop belongs to the Lin family, and it is also Lin Yejin and his wife who take care of it externally, and Lin Long has some prescriptions at most.
It's not surprising.
In Xiao Yiqing's opinion, Lin Long is just a slightly smarter and beautiful little lady, and she happens to know a little bit of medical skills, so talented, many little ladies in Beijing are not inferior to her.
It's just a small town in the countryside, the people's wisdom has not been opened, and the dwarf is a big one, and there is no hero to make the vertical son famous, which shows the special of Lin Niangzi.
Not to mention that the fiancΓ©e of the prince of the world is known as the first beauty in Beijing, Han Niangzi, who is even the maid in the β‘β‘, is also a strange woman.
Thinking of the thorny heart, Xiao Yiqing's expression moved slightly, and he turned his eyes and quietly glanced at Xiao Yan, secretly thinking in his heart. It's hard to say that I'm not young, and I'll be 18 in the New Year. When the prince returns to Beijing this time, he will definitely marry Han Niangzi, and a big girl like Thorn Xin, who has served by the prince's side at a young age, will definitely not be tolerated by the princess.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yiqing felt like a little rabbit in his heart, seven up and eight down. Otherwise, he begged his master to marry him.
Xiao Yiqing's bronzed face flushed twice, and his eyes were full of water.
It is said that women are not allowed to stay, and men are not allowed to stay.
Although he was moved, but at this time, Xiao Yiqing definitely couldn't speak, and now that the son of the world is seriously injured, and his leg disease is even more helpless, how can he think about lifelong events for himself.
After listening to Xiao Yiqing's narration of Lin Long's life, Xiao Yan opened his eyes and keenly found a suspicious point: "You go to find out what is going on with the Ling family and what it has to do with Lin Niangzi." β
Xiao Yiqing nodded yes and bowed back.
ββ
Chen Mansion, Chen Shu has been a little distressed these days, she regrets that she pushed Lin Long hard at that time, but if she is asked to apologize now, she is unwilling and can't wipe her face.
Thinking of his cousin's staring straight at Lin Long's undisguised gaze, Chen Shu felt a mustard in her heart.
Biyun opened the curtain and entered, and what caught her eye was Chen Shu's distressed appearance with her hands on her cheeks. Biyun was specially cultivated and taught by the eldest lady to be Chen Shu's helper, and her mental means should not be underestimated, and she is extremely accurate in figuring out people's hearts.
As soon as her eyes flickered, she guessed what Chen Shu was distressed about, thought about it, and pretended to speak casually: "Seeing that the lady is depressed these days, it is better to go to Lin Niangzi to play." β
Biyun's construction made Chen Shu feel tired for a while, and for some reason, she used to like to stay with Lin Long. Lin Long is quiet and not good at walking, there is only one friend by her side, and the two of them are comfortable and comfortable together, talking quietly, or doing needlework together.
But now, she didn't want to see Lin Long at all, and Chen Shu seemed to suddenly realize that this partner who was quietly sitting in a wheelchair was so beautiful and amazing.
In the past, she only felt that Lin Long couldn't walk, felt sorry for her, and often came to accompany her. And now, Chen Shu suddenly found that Lin Long's legs were getting better a little bit, and he was becoming more and more eye-catching.
Originally, she pitied the other party, but now it's the other way around, but she can't compare to others.
Such a psychological gap made Chen Shu very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Chen Shu was wary of Lin Long, Biyun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she always thought that Lin Long was scheming, coupled with his bad legs and feet, and his temperament was withdrawn, so he was not a good person.
Because this kind of person has been lacking since childhood, she is easy to be radical when she grows up, and she is also proficient in medical skills, so she has to guard against it. It's just that Chen Shu is kind and soft-hearted, has no defensive heart, and likes to get along with her.
With Lin Long's family background and crippled body, it is impossible to marry into a good family. If she was born normally, she would find a low-class family to marry, and she would be protected by her father and brother, and she would be happy for a lifetime.
But she was born beautiful, such a beauty is really amazing, and it is really not something that a small family can afford.
The family background is not obvious, the body is disabled, and the beauty is amazing, except for the concubine of a wealthy family, Biyun really can't think of any other way out for her.
Such a person who is destined to be a concubine, and the lady intersects with her again, and she loses her identity. And she knows her face but doesn't know her heart, who knows what bad she hides in her heart, people don't punish the earth for themselves, if she calculates her own lady and takes away her mother's good marriage, it's really too late to say anything.
Knowing that Chen Shu had a grudge in her heart, Biyun added two handfuls of firewood without a trace, and said two words about Lin Long's beautiful appearance and gloomy temperament and fear of not being a good companion, which made Chen Shu's heart more and more crooked.
The original trace of dissatisfaction gradually magnified, and now she has begun to wonder if Lin Long intended to let her cousin see her that day, she obviously knew that she was discussing marriage with her cousin, why was it not early or late, but she would be able to stand up on that day.
They have known each other for more than ten years, and she has never stood up.
Some things just can't be thought about deeply, suspicion gives rise to dark ghosts, when Chen Shu is prejudiced against Lin Long, no matter what she does, in Chen Shu's opinion, it is all wrong, and she has ulterior motives.

In the past two days, Lin Long has been making a sandalwood hairpin, trying his best to be exquisite, and in order to rush the work, there are several more wounds on his hands.
Lilac knew who the lady's sandalwood hairpin was made for, and she was both distressed and angry, and couldn't help but say: "The third lady has no faith at all now, what hairpin do you give her, lady." β
Lin Long paused, and sighed softly: "Haven't you posted yet?" β
Seeing the lady like this, Lilac shrank in distress, and couldn't help but soften her tone: "Lady, the third lady may not be able to think about it for a while, or something is delayed, wait a few more days." β
"It's been three days." Lin Long lowered his eyes, then suddenly put down the half-carved sandalwood hairpin, and his voice was filled with regret, "Forget it, some things are useless." β
After waiting for three days, Chen Shu didn't come to the door, and he didn't even have a message, how smart Lin Long was, how could he not understand that this was someone's deliberate alienation.
Everything in this world can be desired, but only the human heart cannot ask for it.
"Go get the chess." Putting down the hairpin, Lin Long instructed Lilac.
With the chessboard pieces, Lin Long went to visit the sick prince of Qin.
Xiao Yan was lying on the bed bored, and was looking around to observe the furnishings in the house, the room he was in was originally the place of Lin's father and Lin's mother, the largest and best room in the Lin Mansion, and the furnishings were also exquisite.
After sweeping around, he was bored, and wanted to find a book to read, but he didn't bring a book because he was in a hurry, and he had read all the books in the Lin Mansion.
This pale and boring life.
In a trance, Xiao Lan's voice came from the door, Xiao Lan and Xiao Yiqing are Xiao Yan's henchmen, the difference is that Xiao Yiqing is external, Xiao Lan is internal, and he stays by his side for half a step.
"Master, Mrs. Lin has arrived."
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he was a little interested, but his tone was as gentle and polite as ever: "Please come in." β
After speaking, he moved his gaze to the top of the bed, looked at the tulle bed tent, and his mood soared. This was a very special mood, strange but comforting, he could see that Lin Long had something to ask for him, but what to ask for.
Xiao Yan is a patient hunter who does not like to hunt actively, he likes the eager and vigorous eyes of his prey. Watching them fall into his trap one by one, watching them think that their methods are exquisite, but in fact, their hearts have already been insighted, and all the qiΔ are under his control.
If he is in a good mood, he doesn't mind giving the little prey a little sweetness, such as thorny, he just gives her a little status, and the little prey begins to get carried away and forget his duty.
It's special, it's just stupid.
After teasing for a while, he was out of the mood.
After Lin Long came in, he put the chessboard on the table, looked at Xiao Yan and invited, "I don't know if Gongzi is interested in having a game." β
"It's better to be respectful than to obey."
Xiao Yan was a little disappointed that Lin Long's method was too inferior, this trick to show his intelligence had been used by people a few years ago, and there were more than one person.
Isn't there a new trick?
was disappointed, but because the days of recuperation were too boring, Xiao Yan still accepted Lin Long's invitation, but it was a little unmotivated, and the chess pieces fell very casually.
However, Lin Long played very seriously, played chess very correctly, played steadily and steadily, and did not have the slightest intention of going sideways.
But the more steady and steady he is, the more he can see the real kung fu, Xiao Yan's originally casual attitude gradually straightened up and began to take it seriously.
However, the difference between a master's move is only between one or two chess pieces. Xiao Yan was contemptuous at first, and in the end, no matter how hard he tried and how serious he was, he couldn't reverse the defeat.
He lost, lost a son.
"One more plate." Xiao Yan rarely had a competitive spirit, was full of interest, and had the excitement of meeting his opponent in chess.
didn't want to, but Lin Long simply refused: "Childe's injury has not healed, so it is not appropriate to spend too much effort." After saying that, he packed up his chess pieces and left.
Came inexplicably, and after playing a game of chess, he walked without hesitation.
Xiao Yan couldn't control his gaze a little, and followed Lin Long out of the door before retracting his gaze.
It's kind of interesting.
He pinched his fingers, and his eyes glowed with a touch of demon blue.
On the second day, Lin Long came over with a chessboard again.
This time, Xiao Yan has a good attitude, he was casual in the first half yesterday, and he only lost one son, presumably even if he can't win today, he can have a draw.
Lin Long is still playing steadily, the two of them come and go, and in the end, Xiao Yan still lost, losing his second son.
At this moment, Xiao Yan no longer lived up to yesterday's ease, and after Lin Long left, he actually recalled the number of ways Lin Long played chess in his head, thinking about it for half the night.
On the third day, Lin Long came with a chessboard.
Xiao Yan didn't dare to underestimate it anymore, and every time he fell, he thought it out carefully and did his best.
As for Lin Long, the number of roads is still steady and steady, which is no different from the previous two days. Xiao Yan was calculating Lin Long's chess move in his mind, and at the same time, he made a move with confidence.
But in the end, he still lost.
Lost three sons!
Xiao Yan couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes anymore, and looked at Lin Long in shock.
