Chapter 40: The Mother of the Lin Mansion
Lin House.
All the envoys from various countries entered the imperial capital and stayed in the major official inns, and Lin Mo also took Xue Jingshu and Bai Zhilan back to the Lin Mansion.
As soon as he got off the four horses and stood in front of the mansion gate, seeing the serious expression of the guard guarding the mansion gate, Lin Mo sensed that something was wrong in the mansion.
Entering the mansion, all the servants were doing things seriously, and they didn't talk to each other as before, and when they saw Lin Moji Bai Zhilan and his party returning to the mansion, they just made a salute and continued to work on their own business.
"Ziyong, why do I think your atmosphere is so depressing at the moment?" Xue Jingshu walked in the mansion, and noticed that the atmosphere was completely different from the usual relaxed and pleasant, and there was a solemn meaning everywhere.
"It should be Sister Baiyu who has arrived!" Bai Zhilan answered.
Xue Jingshu understood, but a new question arose in her heart: "Ziyong, why do I feel that everyone in your house is afraid of your wife?"
"Something should happen, please follow me!" With that, Lin Mo led the group to the inner courtyard in front, and the servants along the way were silently doing things.
As soon as she walked to the gate of the inner courtyard, Xue Jingshu saw eight women in silver armor standing there solemnly, holding long swords in their hands, led by two women in their early thirties, with cold faces and frost, and their heroic posture was quite compelling.
When Xi Feng and Qiu Yun saw the two cold-faced women, they shuddered in their hearts, and looked at the two women with a look of fear and uneasiness.
When the eight women saw Lin Moji Bai Zhilan and his party coming, they just bowed with their hands in unison, and did not say any greetings such as seeing.
Lin Mo nodded, didn't speak, and then took Bai Zhilan and his party into the inner courtyard, Xi Feng and Qiu Yun also wanted to follow in, and when they came into contact with the sharp eyes of the two women, they immediately stood obediently at the gate.
Xi Feng and Qiu Yun are both great cultivators in the realm of the Great Sword Master, even the two of them are so frightened of that woman, they don't dare to disobey them in the slightest, the eldest grandson Youyin, Xue Jingshu, Liu Ruoshui, He Yun'er and her Xiaowan inadvertently had doubts in their hearts.
I don't know where they came from, why they made great cultivators like Xi Feng Qiu Yun so frightened and uneasy.
Walking into the inner courtyard, the group saw that there seemed to be faint traces of blood in the snow, and the five daughters of the eldest grandson were shocked again: Could it be that there was a fight in the Fangcai Mansion?
At this moment, Liu Ruoshui was even more uneasy in his heart, thinking of his special relationship with Lin Mo, Liu Ruoshui didn't know how the master mother who made everyone in the mansion so awe-inspiring and solemn treat her.
Will he expel himself from the Lin Mansion? No, this is the last thing Liu Ruoshui wants to see!
Pushing the door into the main house, Lin Mo and his party saw a woman in a pale yellow dress, with a solemn expression, holding something that looked like a fold and something like a fold being reviewed, and a maid wearing a cyan jacket beside her was waiting for pen and ink.
Seeing that the woman was reviewing things, Lin Mo and his party walked into the house, and after gently closing the door of the room, they followed Lin Mo and the others to stand at the door obediently and wait.
After a while, the woman finished reading it, and handed all the scripts to the maid in Tsing Yi beside her, Qing'er, and asked her to take out the room and go to run errands.
Qing'er left, and as soon as the woman looked up, she saw Lin Mo looking at her with a warm smile, and the solemn color on her jade face instantly turned into a smile full of infinite tenderness.
When he saw the woman's face clearly, except for Bai Zhilan and Baili Allure, the five daughters of the eldest grandson and the five daughters all showed extremely amazing looks, because the woman in front of them was so beautiful, like an angel.
Delicate and very goose egg face, a pale yellow dress with a woman's smile and a faint extravagance, plus she has to be beautiful, and her posture is even more graceful, together with the worry for your eldest grandson, I have to be amazed.
Lin Mo stretched out his hands, and the beautiful woman smiled gently, got up and trotted a few steps, and flew directly into Lin Mo's arms, and then showed a happy smile;
Lin Mo hugged the slender waist of the beautiful woman, happily turned around on the ground a few times, and said softly: "Husband, I haven't seen my lady for a month, I miss you too!"
This beautiful woman is the woman who put on Lin Mo's cloak on Moyun Mountain, and she is also Lin Mo's wife, the master mother of the Mozong Sect, one of the three peak sects, Yan Baiyu.
After speaking, Lin Mo wanted to kiss Yan Baiyu's fragrant lips, but was blocked by Yan Baiyu with his hand, Yan Baiyu glanced at the eldest grandson and the five daughters, and said coquettishly: "Husband, there are so many people here, let's do it at night!"
"Okay, everything is up to the lady!" Lin Mo nodded and smiled, then put Yan Baiyu on the ground, and then took Yan Baiyu's jade hand to the low table where she had just reviewed things, sat down, and hugged her in his arms.
Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu sat down, Bai Zhilan and Baili Allure took a step forward, made a ten thousand blessing ceremony, and said in unison, "Zhilan (Allure) has seen Sister Baiyu, ask Sister Baiyu how she is well!"
"Okay, sister, everything is fine! These days, it is Zhilan Allure that the two of you take care of your husband, you have worked hard, sit down quickly!" Yan Baiyu smiled heartily, and the style of the eldest lady of the Lin Mansion was fully revealed.
"Sister Xie Baiyu!" Bai Zhilan and Baili Allure said in unison, and sat on both sides of Lin Mo, and Baili Allure was also surprisingly well-behaved, sitting like a good girl.
Bai Zhilan and Baili Allure sat down, Xiao Wan and He Yun'er were the personal maids of the two, so they naturally waited respectfully on the side, and in front of Yan Baiyu, they didn't dare to show the slightest slackness.
Because the two of them noticed that this mistress was afraid that she was a meticulous and stern person.
Greeting Bai Zhilan and Baili Alluring City, Yan Baiyu looked at the eldest grandson and the third daughter, and said, "Husband, you said in the letter that you accepted the fourth lady in the imperial capital, or the eldest princess of this big Qian, I don't know which one?"
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Youyin took a step forward, made a blessing salute, and said: "The eldest princess of the concubine is the eldest princess of Qianroujia, and the eldest grandson is worried, I have seen the eldest lady!"
Yan Baiyu didn't reply directly, but carefully observed for a while, and then praised: "Well, yes, yes, Sister Sorrow has the appearance of the country, but she can enter the gate of my Lin Mansion, this sister, I admit it!"
"The concubine doesn't dare to call her sister in front of the eldest lady!" said the eldest grandson worriedly.
"Why don't you dare!" Yan Baiyu got up from Lin Mo's arms, held the hand of the eldest grandson Youyin, and said sincerely: "Sister Youyin, you are twenty-five years old, Baiyu is one year younger than you, you should be this sister." ”
"But Bai Yu, you are the eldest lady of your husband, and I am the fourth lady, calling me my sister, isn't it a mess of identity?" said the eldest grandson with a slightly melancholy face.
Yan Baiyu smiled, pulled the eldest grandson Yuyin to sit down next to Bai Zhilan, and said: "What kind of identity, what husband doesn't like the most is the identity gap Husband said, we are all his wives, the same favor!"
"Sister Sorrow doesn't know, the order of our eldest lady, second lady, and third lady is only divided according to the time of marrying her husband, just so that the servants can be called!" As she spoke, Yan Baiyu sat back in Lin Mo's arms.
"This ...... , okay!" The eldest grandson was embarrassed, it could be seen that Yan Baiyu was so sincere, so he did not shirk anymore and took on the role of the elder sister of Mrs. Lin Mo.
The eldest grandson was no longer entangled, Yan Baiyu looked at Xue Jingshu and Liu Ruoshui again, and asked, "Husband, who are this sister and sister? Why haven't you mentioned it in your letter?"
"Sister Baiyu, that's the concubine of King Da Qianrong!" Bai Zhilan spoke in Lin Mo, took over the words, introduced Xue Jingshu to Yan Baiyu, and after speaking, she attached it to Yan Baiyu's ear and whispered something.
Hearing Bai Zhilan's introduction and whispers, Yan Baiyu was slightly stunned at first, and then bowed and said: "It turns out that Sister Jingshu is the concubine of King Rong, and her identity is so noble, little sister Yan Baiyu has seen Sister Jingshu!"
"Bai Yu said with a smile, I like to come to your mansion to disturb a lot, and please Bai Yu is annoying!" Xue Jingshu smiled and sat down beside Baili Chengcheng.
Yan Baiyu said with a smile: "How come, Sister Jingshu and Zhilan Allure have such a good relationship, as long as Sister Jingshu doesn't dislike it, in the future, you can just take Lin Mansion as your own home and come and go at will!"
"Then you're welcome!" Xue Jingshu replied with a smile.
But Xue Jingshu's heart was wondering, this Yan Baiyu was so lenient and polite, why did the servants in the Lin Mansion be so in awe of it, and even some of their faces changed?
"That's nature!" Yan Baiyu nodded and smiled, and finally looked at Liu Ruoshui, who had been standing for a long time, with a pair of beautiful autumn eyes, and said curiously: "Who is this sister?"
"Slave Liu Ruoshui see the master mother!" Liu Ruoshui hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, with a look of panic on her face, perhaps worried about what this master mother would do with herself.
"Sister Baiyu, Miss Ruoshui is her husband's personal maidservant, and her husband is very good to her!"
"Well, I can see it!" Yan Baiyu nodded thoughtfully: "If it weren't for her husband's favor, she would never have been able to dress so gracefully and elegantly!"
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Ruoshui carefully, and after a while, he smiled with satisfaction: "It's also lovely, and your figure is not bad, husband, your vision is good!"
Lin Mo said proudly: "That's nature, after the baptism and education of your beautiful lady, my husband and I have improved my vision of seeing people a lot, how can ordinary mundane things enter my eyes!"
"Look at your beauty!" Yan Baiyu rolled her eyes at Lin Mo, then looked at Liu Ruoshui and said, "Ruoshui, since your husband has taken you as a personal maid, you can stay with your husband and serve, I won't object!"
"Yes, thank you for your great kindness!"
Liu Ruoshui was very happy at the moment, she originally thought that the master mother, who was in awe of everyone in the mansion, would definitely expel herself from the mansion, who had an unusual relationship with Lin Mo, but she didn't expect Yan Baiyu to agree so easily!
Just when Liu Ruoshui was happy, Yan Baiyu spoke again, and his words were full of coldness.
"Ruoshui, you must also know why your husband accepted you as a personal maidservant, so you can serve your husband for a long time. If you dare to be half-hearted, or if you are not clear with other men, I Yan Baiyu will definitely skin you and cramp!"
At the same time, Yan Baiyu's expression suddenly became cold, and his eyes were even more murderous, as if there were thousands of them in his eyes to peel Liu Ruoshui alive.
Liu Ruoshui suddenly shuddered, knelt on the ground, and saluted again and again: "It's the master mother, the slave and maid have written it down, the slave and maid only belong to adults in this life, and they will not do that half-hearted and unclear thing!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, the eldest grandson Wuyin knew that Yan Baiyu's words were also said to himself, and he also nodded, and Xue Jingshu on the side trembled even more when he heard it.
"Yan, Yan, Yan Baiyu, are you Yan, the lord of Yan Country?" When she heard the words "Yan Baiyu", Xue Jingshu was shocked, and her beautiful eyes were full of incredulity, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Sister Jingshu recognizes Bai Yu?" After being debunked, Yan Baiyu's reaction was still flat, as if all this was what she expected.
"Bai Yu, are you really the lord of the Yan Kingdom?" Xue Jingshu's beautiful eyes were so big.
Xue Jingshu had long heard of the name of Yan Baiyu, the lord of Yan State, and Yan Lin, the previous lord of Yan State, died five years ago, and he only had one daughter under his knees, so he handed over the lord of Yan to his daughter, Yan Baiyu.
Since Yan Baiyu succeeded to the throne, he has vigorously rectified state affairs, eliminated accumulated shortcomings, and developed the weakest of the twenty-seven princely states step by step, until more than two months ago, it became one of the nine major princely principalities.
"That's right, Bai Yu is the current lord of Yan Kingdom!" Yan Bai Yu said bluntly.
Yan Baiyu revealed his identity, Xue Jingshu was shocked again, and looked at Lin Mo again, at this moment, Xue Jingshu seemed to feel that a huge conspiracy was enveloping the imperial capital, enveloping the Great Qian Empire, and enveloping the entire Zhongzhou Continent.
Xue Jingshu recognized the trembling heart, and said with a snort: "You told me your identity, so you are not afraid that I will tell His Royal Highness King Rong, you and Lin Mo are husband and wife, did you have any plans when you came to the imperial capital?"
Hearing the conversation between Xue Jingshu and Yan Baiyu, the eldest grandson Yuyin, Xiaowan, and He Yun'er were also excited, they didn't expect that the origin of their eldest lady was so big.
Of course, the most excited is Liu Ruoshui.
At this moment, Liu Ruoshui finally understood why Lin Mo wanted to help the Lord of the Yan Kingdom train such a powerful black-armored army, because Lin Mo and the Lord of the Yan Kingdom, Yan Baiyu, were husband and wife who shared the same bed!
"Then Sister Jingshu, will you tell King Rong?" Yan Baiyu smiled, shook his head and said, "No, Sister Jingshu, you won't, you definitely won't!"
Xue Jingshu blurted out: "Why do you conclude that I, Xue Jingshu, am a member of the Ji family, you and Lin Mo have joined forces, and what you are trying to do is not good, I will definitely expose you." ”
"No, Sister Jingshu, you won't!" As she spoke, Yan Baiyu smiled, left from Lin Mo's arms, picked up Xue Jingshu's chin, and whispered in her ear.
After speaking, Yan Baiyu sat in Lin Mo's arms again, and Xue Jingshu glanced at Yan Baiyu with unwilling eyes, then looked at Lin Mo, and finally fell into deep thought, and after a while, a faint flush appeared on his cheeks.
Seeing that Xue Jingshu was in thought, Lin Mo asked, "Bai Yu, Fang Cai saw a little blood stain on the snow in the courtyard, did someone sneak into the mansion?"
Yan Baiyu nodded, glanced at Liu Ruoshui, who was sitting obediently opposite, and said: "Among the nineteen palace ladies who followed your husband's Ruoshui girl out of the palace, two of them are the dark butterflies of the Moon Sect, and they want to pass on the news that I came to the imperial capital, and the bloodstains are the carrier pigeons they sent the message!"
Lin Mo was shocked, secretly screaming badly, and hurriedly asked, "Bai Yu, what about the two Dark Butterflies of the Moon Sect? You won't kill them, will you?"
"Look at the husband's nervousness!" Yan Baiyu smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry, husband, the concubine body is not so stupid, I only sent Mo Wei to secretly monitor them, and the concubine body knows that the husband has already known their identities, and the reason why I want to keep them is to facilitate the transmission of some information to Yuezong!"
"That's good!" Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the nineteen palace ladies, there were two dark butterflies of the Moon Sect, Lin Mo already knew that the reason why he kept them was to pass on some information he wanted to pass on to the Moon Sect!
When he first found out that this Gong'e had the dark butterfly of the Moon Sect, Lin Mo was taken aback, and he often said that the people who did secret agents were either advanced cultivators who were good at hiding their own realm, or ordinary people.
But this Moon Sect did the opposite, which was unexpected, this idea was somewhat the same as Lin Mopo, so he couldn't help but admire the sect master of the Moon Sect.
"Husband, you said that you have come to Daqian, is the Sect Master of the Moon Sect here?" Yan Baiyu asked suddenly.
Lin Mo smiled faintly and said: "I didn't come before, but it is very likely that I am here now, after this great court meeting, it is an excellent opportunity to plot a conspiracy, if the Sect Master of the Moon Sect does not come and does not seize this opportunity, I will look down on it!"
Listening to the conversation between Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu, Bai Zhilan was thoughtful, Liu Ruoshui, who was originally a secret agent, and the eldest grandson who was used to seeing the scheming of the deep palace was terrified, because they knew that with the Moon Sect Master's imperial capital, the storm was about to rise.
Baili Allure, who doesn't understand the way of this, has not changed much, Baili Allure is lying on Lin Mo's lap, happily eating fruit, a pair of watery eyes are round, as if he is paying attention to something.
As for Xue Jingshu, her heart was still struggling with what Yan Baiyu had just said to her, and her jade cheeks were sometimes flushed, and sometimes she was embarrassed.
At night, in the warm tent of Hongluo.
Yan Baiyu, who had just gone through some wind and rain, lazily prostrate on Lin Mo's chest, listening to Lin Mo's powerful heartbeat, with a red afterglow on a beautiful jade face.
Suddenly, he raised his head and kissed Lin Mo on the cheek, and said with some resentment: "Husband, you have received two beauties in succession in the past few days in the imperial capital, and there is another one in the palace, so you have long forgotten the concubine in Yan Kingdom!"
Hongluo was down, Lin Mo hugged Yan Baiyu's waist tightly, and said: "You little conscienceless beauty, your husband came to make money desperately, and sent people to send you one after another, you said I forgot about you?"
"I know that my husband's favorite thing is my concubine!" At this moment, Yan Baiyu, the lord of Yan Kingdom, who was in awe of outsiders and was as cold as ice in front of outsiders, was like a newlywed little wife, lying in her husband's arms, showing a happy smile.
Then, Yan Baiyu suddenly kissed Lin Mo on the cheek again, and his mood suddenly became a little depressed: "Husband, in the past five years, you have helped the concubine support and strengthen the Yan Kingdom!"
Lin Mo lowered his head and kissed Yan Baiyu on the forehead, and said dotingly: "Fool, you are my fish, my dear good lady, Yan Country is my home, I should help you." ”
Yan Baiyu suddenly smiled a little tiredly: "Husband, the concubine body will tell you something from the heart, the concubine body no longer wants to be the lord of this Yan country, the concubine body just wants to guard you well and be your wife well!"
Lin Mo's hand caressed Yan Baiyu's jade cheeks, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Lady, why don't we give birth to a son as soon as possible, and then you pass on the position of the lord of the country to him and let him suffer!"
Yan Baiyu suddenly turned red, and then a pair of beautiful eyes were even more watery, and then he heard the lord of Yan Country very coquettish and shy and weak: "Concubine, all listen to the husband!"
Lin Mo was overjoyed, and pulled the red Luo quilt over the two of them, and it didn't take long for the sound of the two of them red-faced to come out of this room, and this winter night seemed to be no longer so cold!
It is said that husband and wife are better than newlyweds, and this statement is true!
Just when Lin Mo and his wife were turning the clouds and rain, Xue Jingshu was lying in his boudoir, tossing and turning, and her mind kept thinking about Yan Baiyu's whispers in her ear during the day.
Xue Jingshu is not the only one who has insomnia tonight, Liu Ruoshui is lying on the soft couch in her boudoir, staring at the bottom of the bed with a pair of starry eyes, her face is full of happiness.
Today's Liu Ruoshui was very happy, thinking that his relationship with Lin Mo was unclear, and he would be transferred from Lin Mo's side by Yan Baiyu, or expelled from Lin Mansion, but he didn't expect Yan Baiyu to agree!
Thinking of Lin Mo's warm and secure embrace, that broad back, and thinking of Lin Mo's fierce kiss in the four horses and silver horses today, Lin Ruoshui fell into a daze.
