After the old lady came back from the Buddhist hall, as soon as she heard that her daughter was locked in the Buddhist hall, the whole person almost fainted, she leaned on the big red pillow, her face was unusually haggard, until Lin Qisheng hurriedly came to ask for peace, the old lady suddenly slammed the hot teacup on the ground, some tea splashed on his hands, he didn't dare to cry out for pain at all, just knelt on the ground and lowered his head.

"How did you do your brother, you actually locked your sister in the Buddha hall." The old lady's two sharp eyes shot straight at her son, "Let me ask you, are you planning to marry your sister." ”

"Yes." Lin Qisheng raised his head and said: "Mother, I am thinking about the family, now this matter cannot be covered, soon the Jin Dynasty will be known to everyone, and it will even reach the ears of the emperor, before others talk about it, you must marry your sister, otherwise it will affect the marriage of your daughters in the future." ”

Hearing her son say this, Mrs. Lin was silent, to be honest, her daughter was the pearl of her palm, and she was also a talented woman of the Jin Dynasty, but now that she is older, there are fewer and fewer people who ask for her marriage, and she originally planned to marry her to a more suitable family, but now it seems to be wishful thinking.

"Mother, I am also for my sister's good, and now this matter is in a uproar, and I can only marry Yuan'er to a farther place." Lin Qisheng said it right, and the old lady sighed softly in her heart, if she had let Yuan'er elope with Ling Zhilian at the beginning, maybe the ending would not have become like this! Now I can only grieve my beloved daughter.

The old lady was silent for a moment, as if she had made a lot of determination, and said: "Okay, just listen to your will, marry this girl farther, it is difficult to guarantee that others will not know about this matter, if she leaves the Jin Dynasty, maybe her daughter will live a better life." "Even if the old lady is reluctant in her heart, as long as she thinks of so many things that have happened in Shangshu Mansion recently, she can only sacrifice her beloved daughter.

When Lin Qisheng heard his mother's decision, a smug smile appeared in his eyes, "Yes, then my son will go and inquire about any families around the Jin Dynasty who have not yet married a wife." ”

Old Madam Lin let out a long sigh: "Go, find a better family, don't be wronged Yuan'er." Now that the wood is in the boat, the old lady now just hopes that her daughter can live happily.

"Yes, my son will definitely arrange this matter properly, mother, you can rest assured!" Lin Qisheng stood up and arched his hand.

"Well, I know, you go down!" The old lady rubbed her forehead, and there was a deep tiredness in her eyes.

At noon, Xing'er, who was sent out to inquire about the news, hurriedly walked into the east wing, and as soon as she entered the door, she said: "Madam, the second aunt and grandmother are locked up, and the old lady seems to be going to marry her." ”

"Marry, hmph, that's so cheap that slut!" The second lady lay on the bed and gritted her teeth, "What else did you hear?" ”

Xing'er said resignedly: "The master said that he would find someone to marry the second aunt and grandmother as soon as possible." ”

"Do you know who it is?" The second lady was just about to sit up with a spirit, but she was pulled by the wound on her buttocks, and she grinned in pain.

"The lord didn't say it." Xing'er was afraid that she would be angry, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her up, but the second lady coldly shook her hand away, "Idiot, what to do, I don't need you here, get out of here and let Mama Lan come over." As soon as the second lady thought of the wound on her buttocks, she thought of Lin Ranran, and a burst of anger appeared in her chest.

Xing'er endured the grievances and went out with her head down.

After a while, Mama Lan walked in with her hips, and the second lady grabbed her hand and said, "Master really wants to drive us away?" ”

Mama Lan said with a look of pain: "The master said that he would send his wife back when his injuries are better." She glanced at the second lady's face, and when the second lady saw her expression, she raised her willow eyebrows: "If there is anything else, say it quickly." ”

"Someone just came to report that Zixuan was attacked late at night."

"What?" The second lady wanted to sit up, but she had no choice but to touch the wound, and she gritted her teeth in pain, "It's all a bunch of waste, how did I take care of Xuan'er in the past few days when I was away." ”

Mama Lan touched a cold sweat and continued: "The slave maid got the news, but the flower thief went to the wrong room, but she didn't want to enter the second lady's room. ”

"What a bastard." The second lady leaned on the pillow, her face pale, and she exhaled fiercely, her face full of disappointment: "It's really me who was too negligent, I didn't want to watch someone else's good play, but I became someone else's play." Thinking of the old lady's partiality, her face became even more uncertain, "They make me feel bad, don't think they are happy, Mama Lan ordered to go down, and wait for those people to do it immediately after they go down the mountain." ”

Mama Lan's face was shocked, this second lady is not stunned, and she dares to do anything to hurt the old lady, if she is discovered, they still have a few lives to live, since Lin suddenly came back, the second lady has had frequent accidents, and even the days when she used to follow the scenery are gone, but she is always frightened, for fear that as long as there is a slight mistake, her head will move.

"What if something goes wrong!" Mama Lan hurriedly came to her side and said with apprehension: "Madam, the old slave is only afraid of worrying..."

The second lady looked at her timid expression, which became more and more eye-catching, and secretly thought in her heart that this old thing was really becoming more and more useless, every time she was made to do things, she was always afraid of wolves and tigers, and she had to quickly find a reliable person.

At this time, Mama Lan didn't know that the second lady was ready to throw her away, and Wu Zi was still worried, but the second lady said softly: "Don't worry, this time it will be foolproof, when the time comes, I will find a good family affair for your granddaughter, you can do things for me with peace of mind, don't have any thoughts, do you hear?" ”

Now that the second lady has said this, Mama Lan Vino nodded and walked out.

As soon as the second lady saw her leave, she sneered in her heart, Lin suddenly looked at it, I want to let you die without a place to be buried.

In the west wing, Lin suddenly glanced up and down at the girl kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "What's your name?" ”

The girl's voice was very loud, and she raised her big watery eyes and said, "The slave's name is Bean Sprouts." As soon as she finished speaking, the green willow standing beside her burst out laughing, and suddenly glanced at her faintly, and the green willow hurriedly smiled.

"You're new here?" Lin Ran continued to ask.

Dou Sprout nodded and replied respectfully: "Yes, the slave maid has no parents since she was a child, and she was later sold to the Lin family by Ya Po, and she was originally rationed to the second aunt and grandmother." ”

Lin suddenly looked her up and down, her big watery eyes did not contain any impurities, and her simple appearance did not seem to have any problems, but after all, judging from the previous incident when Lin Yuan came, this girl was still a sincere child, but it would take a while to test whether she could become her confidant.

She glanced at the green willow, and the latter immediately came over and said, "You can stay in a room with me now, and the young lady will make arrangements for you when you go back." ”

"Thank you, miss." Bean Sprouts knelt on the ground and thanked him, Lin suddenly waved his hand, and Lu Liu walked out with Dou Sprouts.

"Miss, are you really going to take this child in?" Mama Du asked with some concern, Lin suddenly raised her head, and there was still a little hesitation on her face.

"Mama, isn't there still you and Green Willow? What's more, she is in the same room with Green Willow, even if there is something, she should know about it! Lin suddenly frowned and said without moving, "Don't worry, Mama." ”

Mama Du always thought that the young lady was too simple, but she still didn't worry about staring at this girl more.

Lin suddenly lowered his eyes and hid a smile, Mama Du is really like an old hen guarding her chicks.

Lin Qisheng has been thinking about Qi Yantian's words for the past few days, this person knows so many secrets and must not stay, but he didn't expect this man to know so much, originally he still wanted to keep him useful, after all, he still has the land deed in the mansion in his hand, and he can only kill people for today's plan, thinking of this, he found his cronies around him and whispered a few words, and the other party flashed away like a ghost.

In the middle of the night, Lin suddenly lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, she looked at the maids and grandmothers who had fallen asleep in the outhouse, put on a dress and quietly opened the door and walked out, originally just wanted to breathe, and saw a familiar slender figure standing in front of her from a distance, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Lord Wang." As soon as she shouted a sentence that realized what he said yesterday, she changed her title again: "Gao Lian." ”

The slender figure slowly turned his head, revealing a handsome face, Gao Lian slowly walked towards her, and said with a gentle smile: "Why don't you sleep so late?" ”

Lin suddenly smiled, tilted his head and asked, "Then what about the prince, why have you been wandering outside the lady's boudoir so late?" Originally, she was just deliberately teasing him, but unexpectedly, a touch of redness crawled over Gao Lian's ears, and there was an embarrassing redness on his face, which surprised Lin Ran, and the prince who had always been cold and lonely actually had this kind of expression.

Gao Lian faced Lin Ranran's curiosity, and he coughed: "I just happened to pass by." ”

"Oh? What a coincidence! In the face of Lin Ranran's banter, Gao Lian stabilized his mood and changed back to an indifferent face: "It just so happens that my villa is also near Chengning Villa, and my sister is clamoring to come and stay for a few days." ”

A sweet face crossed her mind, Lin Ranran smiled, it turned out to be like this, in fact, what she didn't know was that Gao Lian insisted on pulling his sister to this courtyard where he almost didn't live for a few days in order to get closer to Lin Ran, and even in the past few days, his sister has been looking at him with strange eyes, so that he can only find an excuse to go out, today he just came over to take a look, but he didn't expect that Lin Ranran didn't fall asleep, and was inadvertently bumped into by her.

"Okay!" Lin suddenly shrugged his shoulders and acquiesced in his words, "But I didn't expect that the prince was a night owl." ”

"Night owls?" Gao Lian's confused face made Lin Ran secretly amused, and when she was about to answer him with her hands behind her back, Qin An came out of nowhere and said a few words to Gao Lian, he frowned without a trace: "Got it, you go down!" ”

Gao Lian sent Qin An away, and was just about to leave but met Lin Ran's curious eyes, "Gao Lian, you seem to be a little unreasonable, what good things can't you share with me?" ”

Gao Lian couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't know that something had happened yet, just like a child who longed to eat toffee, this woman's body always exuded a strange light, making him unconsciously want to get closer again and again.

"You're going to a brothel too?" Gao Lian raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, but Lin suddenly just shrugged his shoulders: "I can disguise myself as a man, where you men go, why can't I go!" ”

Gao Lian shook his head helplessly: "Okay, since you want to go, I'll take you with me, but don't talk casually when you get there, you know?" ”

"Got it." Lin suddenly stuck out his tongue, and his playful appearance was reflected in Gao Lian's eyes, and his eyes deepened a little.

After a while, the little guy in a cloth suit walked down the street with the swaggering of the young man, Lin suddenly blinked curiously and looked at the lively night market at night, just walked past a stall, the fragrance of sunflowers wafted in the distance, she ran to the front of the stall without saying a word, looked at the steaming sunflower cake and took out the silver and handed it to the vendor: "Give me two sunflower cakes." ”

"Okay!" The vendor wrapped two sunflower cakes in paper and handed them to Lin Ranran, Lin Ranran took them with a smile on her face, took a heavy bite, and the fragrance was fragrant, she couldn't help squinting her eyes slightly, and when she raised her eyes, she found that Gao Lian was looking at her steadily, and touched her head embarrassedly and handed him another sunflower cake: "Give you one, this is delicious, but what I make is not as delicious as his." She said and took a bite, satisfied like a greedy kitten, Gao Lian watched her eat well, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she unconsciously took a bite, even though he had eaten a lot of delicacies and seas since he was a child, but this sunflower cake gave him a different feeling, maybe it was the right person, and the right mood.

Seeing Lin suddenly eating all over her face, Gao Lian gently stretched out his hand to wipe the remnants of the corners of her mouth: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." Lin Ran only realized his gaffe at this time, and when he saw Gao Lian's movements, his face was slightly red, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, rudely wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, it's okay." ”

Gao Lian shook his head amusedly: "You really don't look like a lady at all." ”

At the same time, a man watched from a distance upstairs, his hands clutching the cup so tightly that his beautiful nails almost sank into the flesh.

The two of them finished eating the sunflower cake and were just about to walk forward, when they saw a group of people running towards the government from a distance, Lin suddenly pulled a passer-by and asked, "What happened, why are you panicking?" ”

The passer-by thought she was a foreigner and said kindly: "There is a fire in the dungeon of the government, and the people around have gone to rescue it. ”

After he mentioned this, Lin Ranran suddenly thought that Qi Yantian was still in this prison, and hurriedly pulled Gao Lian to follow the flow of people, Gao Lian didn't ask her anything, just followed Lin Ranran to the back door of the official mansion, Lin Ranran said to him: "You know martial arts, take me to the dungeon to see." ”

"Okay." Gao Lian picked her up without saying a word, and carried her smoothly to the backyard of the dungeon on tiptoe. Lin suddenly leaned on his arms, and his heart was beating like an unbalanced again.

When the two of them fell to the ground, Gao Lian took her to the dungeon, as if she had come to her own home, Lin suddenly looked at him in surprise: "Hey, how do you know where the dungeon is?" ”

Gao Lian was silent for a long time, and when Lin Ran thought that he would not answer, he said lightly: "I have stayed here before. Lin was stunned for a moment and was annoyed by his gaffe, and lowered his head only to find that his hand was tightly held by Gao Lian, and he just wanted to break free but was stopped by a sentence behind Gao Lian: "There are many mechanisms here, be careful not to lose them." As soon as Lin suddenly heard the heavy mechanism, he immediately thought of his own life, and held Gao Lian's hand a little tighter, but he didn't see Gao Lian's triumphant smile.

When he came to the dungeon, there was a lot of smoke, and it was very difficult to even open his eyes, Gao Lian kept holding Lin Ranran's hand and said, "Can you go?" ”

"Well, we have to hurry up and find someone, I'm afraid something will happen." Lin suddenly thought of something to remind Gao Lian: "I remember that yesterday my father detained Daoist Qi here, but it was not a day later that the prison suddenly caught fire, and I felt that something was wrong." ”

Gao Lian frowned According to Lin Ranran's statement, Lin Qisheng seemed even more suspicious, why did it happen at this time.

Because of the fire, most of the people went to put out the fire, and the people in the dungeon were screaming and struggling to let them out, Lin suddenly hid behind Gao Lian and carefully swept the dungeon to find Qi Yantian's figure, she whispered to Gao Lian.

"Are you sure?" Gao Lian asked, taking her hand.

"That's right, I've met this person a few times and will never forget it." Lin Ran was still very confident in her ability to never forget, Gao Lian looked at her confident appearance, and thought for a while and pulled her back and forth.

"Where are we going?" Lin suddenly saw him walking in the opposite direction and asked curiously.

"There is a tunnel not far from the dungeon, I guess the other party took advantage of the fire and left from that place with Qi Yantian, let's hurry up and follow, I'm just afraid when the time comes..." Gao Lian didn't continue, Lin Ran also knew the meaning of his words, it was very likely that someone took advantage of the fire to poison Qi Yantian.

At this time, Qi Yantian followed the person in front of him out of the tunnel in embarrassment, and was about to thank the other party, but the other party took out a knife and stabbed him in the abdomen, Qi Yantian's eyes widened in disbelief: "You, you!" The latter stabbed him again, and Qi Yantian fell to the ground trembling, "Why do you want to kill me!" ”

"You know too much." Just as the killer was about to stab him in the chest, a dart went straight to the killer's façade, and the killer keenly dodged, caught a glimpse of someone coming from the corner of his eye, and quickly left on tiptoe.

Lin suddenly wanted to catch up with the man's pace, but was stopped by Gao Lian: "Stop chasing, go and see the people on the ground." ”

"Yes." Lin suddenly ran in front of Qi Yantian, who was already dying at this time, lying on the ground covered in blood.

"Tell me, who killed you?" Lin suddenly squatted on the ground and asked Qi Yantian anxiously.

Qi Yantian spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were dilated, and he lay on the ground and smiled mockingly: "I didn't expect me to have such a day, Qian Dawei, you are really a wolf-hearted thing." ”

Qian Dawei? Lin suddenly heard him mention an unfamiliar name, frowned, and said, "Who is Qian Dawei?" ”

"Hehe, far away in front of you, Lin Ranran, you should ask Prince Jane, everything will clear the fog, hahaha!" After he finished speaking, another mouthful of blood spurted out, and he stretched out his hands as if he was about to grasp something, and finally swallowed his last breath with his eyes open.

Lin suddenly sighed and gently closed his eyes for him, this man wanted to be prosperous and rich all his life, but in the end he was killed by wealth, but who is this Qian Dawei, she raised her head and met Gao Lian's deep eyes.

"Qian Dawei used to be a bandit leader, but a few years ago, when he was suppressing bandits, he fell off the cliff and disappeared without a trace, it seems that Qian Dawei in Qi Yantian's mouth is very likely to be alive."

"Could it be that this Qian Dawei is..."Lin suddenly thought of this possibility, and his heart fluttered, in this way, didn't the Lin Mansion fall into danger?

"Don't panic first, I'll tell you when I find out the reason, the most important thing now is to stay put, if it's really him, we'll make plans." Gao Lian's calm voice gave Lin Ranran's originally worried heart a little comfort.

"Thank you, Gao Lian."

"I'll be happier if you show it with your actions." Gao Lian took advantage of her surprise and kissed her lightly on the cheek, "This is the investigation fee I charged." ”
