The gossip spread all over Xiangcheng, how could the Qiao family not know, Qiao Qiao could naturally hear the news.

She was furious.

Qin Lin had been staying in the East Courtyard for two days, and he had been closed for the past two days, and only let the attendants send two ordinary swords in.

Qiao Qiao could hear the sound of Qin Lin's courtyard dancing swords every day.

She was originally relieved, thinking that Qin Lin would not have any thoughts about her anymore, but now, when the news came, she had to run to Qin Lin's courtyard angrily to ask for an understanding.

"The surname is Lin!"

Her voice was a little sharper, already showing anger.

Qin Lin sat in the stone pavilion in the courtyard drinking tea, with a long sword in his hand, looking like he had just practiced swordsmanship.

"It turned out that Miss Qiao was here, disrespectful and disrespectful. Standing up, Qin Lin arched his hand.

"Don't come to this set!" Qiao Qiao was rude and angry.

Seeing this, Qin Lin pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Miss Lin, what's the matter, why are you so angry?"

"You're still pretending?"

"What did Lin pretend?"

"Didn't you hear the news from outside?"

Qin Lin was innocent, and he didn't know what Qiao Qiao was talking about.

He said: "Lin has only practiced swords in the courtyard for the past two days, and he has not heard any news from the outside. ”

As he spoke, Qin Lin smiled, "Speaking of which, I really want to thank the Qiao family master, this courtyard environment is very good, I live here very comfortably, and I have thought about a lot of kendo mysteries, and I have practiced swords in the past two days, which is smoother than usual." ”

"You still have to pretend!" Qiao Qiao frowned.

In fact, in the past two days, she has also listened to the sound of sword dancing with her ears, and she is also curious about how this Lin Gongzi can practice swords without stopping.

Qin Lin saw Qiao Qiao's expression, and secretly snickered in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be innocent: "Miss Qiao, Lin really doesn't know what Miss Qiao said about 'pretending', what is it pretending, and I ask Miss Qiao to make it clear." ”

"Very good, you can really act, ruined Miss Ben's reputation, and now you are still here pretending that you don't know anything, you are shameless enough. Qiao Qiao trembled with resentment.

Hearing this, Qin Lin was surprised: "What? When did Lin ruin Miss Qiao's reputation?"

"Pretend!" Qiao Qiao really wanted to tell Qin Lin about the rumors outside, but as the heroine of the rumors, she was really ashamed to tell the content.

She gestured to the maid next to her, and the maid said, "Young Master Lin, the news of you living in the backyard has spread all over Xiangcheng. ”

"This, what's this?" Qin Lin pretended to be puzzled, as if living in the backyard was a matter of course.

The maid continued: "People outside are rumoring that Lin Gongzi, you and my young lady, say that you have a special relationship with my young lady, that you live in the backyard, for the sake of ......."

"Enough!" Qiao Qiao couldn't listen.

Qin Lin was silent for a few moments, frowning.

"I see. He sighed: "It turns out that I live in the backyard, which will cause such inconvenience to Miss Qiao, so why didn't I say it earlier, I said it would be like this earlier, no matter what, Lin will not live in the backyard." ”

"Say it earlier?hehe......" Qiao Qiao sneered: "Don't pretend, my attendants in Qiao's Mansion are the most well-behaved, and will never go out to talk nonsense, the matter of you living in the backyard must have been spread by you, deliberately trying to ruin my reputation, to embarrass my Qiaofu!"

"Miss Qiao has wronged me by saying this, how can I spread these things. Qin Lin had an innocent expression.

"It's not you, who else can it be, this news began to circulate after He Lanchip left that day, and you must have asked He Lanchip to go out and spread it. Qiao Qiao said.

"He Blue Chip!"

Qin Lin precipitated his thoughts, and after a while, he said, "Okay, I'll go to He Lanchou and ask him in person if there is such a thing." ”

As he spoke, Qin Lin stepped forward to leave.

But as soon as he took a few steps, he stopped again, turned to Qiao Qiao, and said, "Miss Qiao, why don't you go with me, and we will question it face to face, so as not to misunderstand Miss Qiao again that it is me colluding with the blue chips." ”

Qiao Qiao looked at Qin Lin's performance at this time, and his thoughts were a little confused for a while.

She was originally very sure that the news was spread by Qin Lin, but Qin Lin's performance made her wonder if she had really wronged Qin Lin.

"No, it must be him, besides him, who else is going to deal with our Qiao family?" Qiao Qiao persuaded himself in his heart.

"Miss Qiao, do you want to go to He Lanchip together?" Qin Lin asked again.

"Okay, just go. Qiao Qiao said.

The maid stepped forward to dissuade: "Miss, it's inconvenient for you to go out now, or ......"

Qiao Qiao's heart was entangled, indeed, it was inconvenient for her to go out now.

Qin Lin said again: "Otherwise, I won't go out, so I will send an attendant to the He Mansion to call He Lanchou over, so that Lin and Miss Qiao can also question them face to face." ”

Qiao Qiao felt that this was good, and said, "Okay, just do it." ”

Soon, He Lanchou got the news and came to Qiao's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, he had a hippie smile on his face, and asked Qin Lin: "Lin Gongzi, how is the cultivation of swordsmanship, look at you, if you don't let me come to disturb, why do you want to call me here today?"

"He Blue Chip!" Qin Lin had a cold face.

Seeing this, He Lanchou was a little surprised: "Young Master Lin, what's wrong with you?"

"What's the matter? You're embarrassed to ask!" Qin Lin frowned, stretched out his hand and pointed angrily at He Lanchip: "There have been gossips in Xiangcheng in the past two days, but you are talking nonsense outside?"

When Qin Lin spoke, his expression was solemn and serious.

At this time, Qiao Qiao was hidden in the dark corner.

Before He Lanchip came to the courtyard, Qin Lin asked Qiao Qiaoyin to observe in the dark, so that he could not only see him questioning He Lanchip like this, but also see He Lanchip's true reaction.

Qiao Qiao felt reasonable, so at this time, he hid in the corner and stared at He Lanchip.

"Say, are you talking nonsense outside?" Qin Lin asked angrily.

He Lanchou frowned: "Lin Lin, you have gone too far, you have known each other for so many years, you don't know what kind of person I am?

"It's not you, who else can it be, I lived in the backyard that day, and only you know about it. Qin Lin continued to question.

He Lanchip's face was ugly: "Bastard, Lin Lin, we are brothers, I spread this kind of thing, not to mention ruining Miss Qiao's reputation, but also ruining your reputation, how could I do such a thing." ”

Hearing this, Qin Lin paused, pretending to think.

He Lanchou continued: "Lin Lin, could it be that you have forgotten that at that time in Xijinzhou, you did such an ugly thing with the little girl in the Red Mansion, did I say half a word to the outside world?"

"Shut up!" Qin Lin reacted in annoyance when he heard this.

Qiao Qiao in the dark heard this, and his heart was also aroused with curiosity.

Lin Gongzi and the little girl in the Red Mansion, isn't that just a matter of drinking flower wine?

What man doesn't drink flower wine, and what is there to hide from this?

Qiao Qiao was curious and listened more carefully.

He Lanckey said: "What's the matter? It's just the two of us here, what can't we say, I just want to tell you that you and that little girl are in the alley in broad daylight......"

"I'll tell you to stop!" Qin Lin was even more excited, even more annoyed and angry.

He Lanchou paused for a few moments, and then said: "Okay, okay, don't mention that matter, but think about it, if I were the kind of person who can chew his ears, you would have done that little back then, and it would have spread throughout the entire West Jinzhou." ”

"Okay, I got it. Qin Lin waved his hand.

He turned around and walked into the house.

Qiao Qiao was hiding in the house, he came to Qiao Qiao, and said solemnly: "It must not be the news that He Lanchou sent out, I believe he will not betray me." ”

"What did you do back then?" Qiao Qiao's state of mind had changed at this time, and her attention was completely attracted by the story of the Red Mansion.

Qin Lin avoided his gaze and said a little ashamedly: "Please also ask Miss Qiao not to spread the word about what I heard today." ”

"What if it gets out?" Qiao Qiao sneered: "If you don't tell me what happened back then, I can't guarantee that no outsiders will know about this matter again." ”

"Miss Qiao, why do you have to threaten me? No matter who you are, there are times when you are young and ignorant, and I hope that Miss Lin has not heard anything. ”

Qin Lin showed weakness.

In fact, I just want Qiao Qiao to think that Lin Gongzi is thin-skinned and a person who loves names.

Such a person will not destroy his reputation to spread rumors.

Therefore, Qiao Qiao already had some judgments in her heart, and she believed that the rumors outside were not spread by Qin Lin and He Lanchip.

But who else could it be?

Qiao Qiao hated in his heart, and secretly vowed to find out that mouthy guy and break his body into pieces.

At this time, He Lanchou suddenly shouted in the courtyard.

"Lin Lin, Lin Lin......"

As he spoke, he stepped into the house.

Qin Lin immediately pushed Qiao Qiao back into the shadows: "Don't come out yet." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward to stop He Lanchip's footsteps.

"Something to say!" Qin Lin was expressionless.

He Lan said: "Young Master Lin, did you say that this messy news was spread by Qiao Liang?"

"Qiao Liang, how is this possible? Miss Qiao is his sister, how can he spread this news!"

"Why can't you?" He Lanchou asked rhetorically, and continued: "At the auction that day, Qiao Liang hated you so much, besides, he likes to visit the Red Mansion, and he has frequent contacts with those dusty women, maybe, he is just drunk with flower wine, complaining that you lived in their Qiao's backyard, so let those women in the Red Mansion spread the word about what you have to do with Miss Qiao." ”

"It's just your guess. Qin Lin said: "If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense." ”

"There is really no evidence, but well, Qiao Liangke has been singing in the Red Mansion every night in the past two days, this is something that everyone in the city knows, I guess there is a **, that is, he didn't put the door on his mouth and said that it leaked out. ”

Qiao Liang happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

In the past two days, he was indeed resentful because Qin Lin lived in the Qiao family's mansion.

Although Qiao Qiao said that he rarely left the backyard, the maids would still pass on what they heard outside to Qiao Qiao, so Qiao Qiao also knew that his younger brother was angry, and he even knew that his younger brother was drunk for two consecutive days before returning to the house.

At this time, she heard He Lanchip's words in the dark, her heart trembled violently, and then she frowned.

"Damn, so damn!"

She no longer continued to hide, and walked straight out of the shadows, her anger even stronger than before.

He Lanchou was still talking to Qin Lin about Qiao Liang drinking flower wine, and when he saw Qiao Qiao appear, he was suddenly shocked.

"Joe, Miss Qiao Er?" He Lanchou was frightened in place.

Qin Lin turned his face and looked at Qiao Qiao: "These are just conjectures. ”

He Lanchip also showed a timid appearance and explained: "Yes, yes, it's just a guess, don't count, and hope that Miss Qiao is talking nonsense when she is a blue chip, don't blame." ”

After all, the Qiao family is now big in Xiangcheng, and the He family also has to look at Qiao's face to do things.

Qiao Qiao glared at He Lanchou, didn't say anything, and hurriedly left the courtyard.

Qin Lin chased out a few steps: "Miss Qiao, don't be angry." ”

Qiao Qiao did not respond.

Qin Lin didn't show a hint of a mocking smile until he was sure that Qiao Qiao was leaving.

"Any chaos is not as terrible as family chaos. Qin Lin said, turning his head to look at He Lanchip: "You kid can do it, this drama is so good that I don't know it." ”

"It's still the city lord who plays well. He gave up his hand.

"It's time for Joe's to be in an awkward position now. Qin Lin said: "Play soft strategies with me, I can play them to death." ”

He Lanchou stepped forward: "No, Qiao Hanwu will not pick an opponent, dare to argue with the city lord, and look for death." ”

"Then again, what the hell is going on out there. Qin Lin asked.

"The four major families have joined forces to guard against the Qiao family, and now even if an external force intervenes in Xiangcheng to destroy the Qiao family, the four major families will not help the Qiao family. ”

He Lanchou said, and then added: "Anyway, according to my father, it is impossible for the Qiao family to become bigger, and it is not easy to overthrow the Chang family, and it is impossible to raise another Qiao family." ”

"So, the situation is in our favor. Qin Lin said.

"It must be beneficial to us, but at present, none of the four major families has the ability to directly fight the Qiao family, and the four major families also have their own ghosts, and no one can provoke a conflict with the Qiao family, so the situation is still deadlocked. ”

"It's okay, when Chu Yu brings 10,000 soldiers and horses from Changzhou, things will be easy to do. Qin Lin said.

......

In the front hall of Qiao's family, Qiao Hanwu's face was dark.

"Bastard, I eat and drink so well to entertain this surnamed Lin, but he ruins my daughter's reputation like this, it's unbearable!"

Qiao Hanwu, like Qiao Qiao, immediately locked the culprit of spreading the news on Qin Lin.

However, he didn't dare to touch Qin Lin at all now.

On the one hand, because of the identity of "Lin Gongzi", on the other hand, he still carried a meeting gift from Qin Lin in his arms.

After receiving a gift from others, you have to do something to others!

Qiao's face has been lost enough that it can't be lost anymore.

At this time, Qiao Qiao led a group of maids into the front hall angrily.

"Dad, you have to make decisions for me!" Qiao Qiao opened his mouth as soon as he entered the hall.

Qiao Hanwu avoided his gaze.

In the past two days, he didn't dare to go to the backyard, the main reason was that he was afraid of being caught by Qiao Qiao and asked him to call the shots.

Because he didn't know what to do.

Could it be that you killed Lin Gongzi?

"Dad, did you hear me!" Qiao Qiao walked straight up and walked in front of Qiao Hanwu.

Qiao Hanwu said: "Daughter, my father hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet. ”

"If there is anything I haven't thought about, Qiao Liang, this bastard runs out to drink every day, and he talks nonsense to ruin my reputation, no matter what, Daddy must severely punish Qiao Liang. ”

"Liang'er, what does this have to do with Liang'er?" Qiao Hanwu heard strangely.

Qiao Qiao told Qiao Hanwu what had just happened in Qin Lin's courtyard to Qiao Hanwu, and Qiao Hanwu listened to it and faintly felt that this was a trap.

But he must also admit that this is perfect with the design of the trap, and there is no flaw.

If there is a flaw, it can only be said that Qin Lin and He Lanji have discussed today's drama in advance. But, who can say for sure this kind of thing??

Qiao Qiao said angrily: "Dad, has Qiao Liang returned drunk every night for the past two days?

"Well, he's talking nonsense. ”
