Chapter 221: Jealousy

Lin Long's words of step-by-step pressure made the light in Concubine Rong's eyes flicker, dimmed, her fists clenched tightly, her eyes stared at the water on the ground, her son's voice and smile flashed in the water stains, she wanted to reach out to grab her son, but as soon as her hand came out, her son's voice and smile disappeared immediately, and after all, it was the moon in the mirror.

Taking a deep breath of the hot air, if what Lin Long said was true, thinking of her alliance with the Nine Princes, wouldn't she admit that the murderer was a benefactor?

No, this is too cruel for her, and she can't accept death, so she raised her head and looked directly at Lin Long and shouted: "You are lying, I won't believe a word, you are from the imperial court, so use words to trick me......"

Lin Long was not discouraged by her yelling, on the contrary, it was normal to have this reaction, and she also nodded generously at this time, "That's right, you can choose not to believe my words, but the facts are in front of you, believe it or not." But your son will not be blind to death, because you, the mother, let his murderer go unpunished. The corner of her mouth smiled coldly, "Why don't you use your brain?" How did Zhu Chen know that you were plotting to kill your former son, Zhu Zijie? If no one tells you, will she stab your son with a knife? She's someone else's gunman, and you're following in her footsteps. ”

Concubine Rong's face was tense all the time, and her fists were clenched tightly, which showed that Lin Long's words were not the slightest touch or touch for her.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the warm pavilion, and someone said behind the curtain: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" As soon as I arrived in your yard, I heard a noise coming from your house, but what happened? ”

And he was about to lift the curtain and come in.

Concubine Rong drank a ghostly sentence, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine, I still have guests here, you go back first, and I'll ask you to come over and talk later." ”

The hand that was about to lift the curtain to come in instantly withdrew, and then the voice said: "Okay, if my aunt and grandmother need anything, don't hide it by yourself, I'm not the one who is the sister-in-law......

"I see, sister-in-law." Concubine Rong said loudly.

Lin Long heard the conversation between the sister-in-law, and immediately knew that her purpose was at least half-achieved, if she really didn't believe her words, she wouldn't hide her whereabouts from being known, not to mention that this person was still her mother's sister-in-law, listening to the conversation, it seemed that Concubine Rong had a good relationship with her sister-in-law.

When the footsteps outside went away, she gave Ye Manjun a look.

Ye Manjun nodded knowingly, "Concubine Rong, I was also on the spot that day, and I saw with my own eyes how Zhu Chen stabbed Zhu Ziran to death......

Concubine Rong didn't like Ye Manjun, she only cared about competing with Lin Long before, and didn't pay too much attention to Ye Manjun, but now when she heard her speak, her expression when she looked at her was full of malice and hatred, but she didn't interrupt her narration out loud.

She didn't fully understand the whole process of her son's death, after all, it was a blessing to know that Zhu Chen killed her son at that time, and the unfortunate Zhu Yi had already issued a gag order.

Now that I heard Ye Manjun say it in person, her tears fell uncontrollably, and this son was the flesh of her heart, and every time she thought about it, it was as painful as if a heart had been dug out alive.

Lin Long didn't make a sound to stimulate Concubine Rong again, she had to be relaxed to make Concubine Rong believe them completely, she picked up the teacup and quietly took a sip of tea.

About three quarters of an hour passed, and Ye Manjun sighed and sighed: "This is how things happened, Concubine Rong, Zhu Ziran intended to do something wrong to me, I can't sit still, if it were you, I would definitely think of saving myself, but at that time, Princess Zhu Chen did come suddenly, whether you believe it or not, the truth of the facts is like this." ”

Concubine Rong didn't say anything, just wiped her tears with a handkerchief, she still didn't want to see Ye Manjun, but looking at the clear and bright eyes of the girl in front of her, her heart slowly tilted.

Lin Long didn't force her anymore, got up and said, "Concubine Rong, you still have to think about what we said, in fact, asking for evidence is not as difficult as you imagined, after all, aren't you the closest to your son's murderer?" If you have the courage to raise a knife against Zhu Chen, you must have the courage to find out the truth, don't be used and count the money for the other party. She turned her head to look at Ye Manjun, who also stood up, "Sister-in-law, let's go back." ”

Ye Manjun nodded, in fact, she didn't want to sit here for a long time, after all, in the face of Zhu Chen's family, or this Concubine Rong, once she walked into a dead end, the woman who couldn't get out had a dead air on her body, which was uncomfortable to watch.

Concubine Rong said when Lin Long put on the curtain and was about to lift the curtain and go out: "You let me think about it, but if you lie to me, I will definitely not let you go." ”

Lin Long heard her cruel words, suddenly turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Concubine Rong, I am waiting for your news, I can't make up a bunch of lies that will be exposed at any time to deceive you, whether it is true or not, you can decide for yourself." ”

After speaking, her bare hand gently lifted the curtain, and Lianbu walked out gently.

Ye Manjun also left after him.

Concubine Rong was still sitting in her place, her mind was in chaos at this time, for a while her son was clamoring to avenge him, for a while Lin Long was forcing him to speak, and for a while Ye Manjun was quietly reminiscing and telling...... and so on, all the time crowded in her mind, her face became more and more twisted.

It wasn't until about three quarters of an hour had passed that the two big maids who had sent Lin Long and Ye Manjun away and the elderly grandmother came back to recover her life, that she stopped torturing herself and took a deep breath, "People, are they all gone?" ”

"It's been sent away." One of the big maids replied.

"I don't want to publicize the arrival of these two women, do you know what to do? Take care of your mouth, otherwise don't blame me, the master, for being ruthless and not remembering the old feelings. ”

"Yes, Concubine."

The three subordinates all trembled in response.

Concubine Rong waved her hand to signal them to go out, and when she was upset, her sister-in-law lifted the curtain and came in, "Grandma? ”

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?" Concubine Rong's face was displeased, she really didn't have the heart to care about the idle things on the side now, and the words that Lin Long and Ye Manjun said when they arrived had already given her a headache.

The sister-in-law of the Rong family frowned, "Grandma, if you have something to say, you might as well say it to your sister-in-law, we are all in the same boat now, do we still need to hide it from each other?" Your eldest brother has decided to cooperate with the Ninth Prince, and I am also quite worried......"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about this, anyway, our family won't suffer." Concubine Rong didn't tell the truth, but used words to block her sister-in-law's mouth, and she couldn't help it.

The sister-in-law of the Rong family had a look of gloom on her face, "Grandma, I always feel that this matter is too mysterious, you still persuade your brother, don't be fooled, even if we can get Ruyang City, we can't keep it......"

"Sister-in-law, don't be so cowardly, okay? Besides, this is the right matter, you just take care of the big brother's backyard, and don't interfere too much in other things, so as not to make the big brother angry with you. Concubine Rong read that this sister-in-law was not bad for herself, and finally opened her mouth to persuade her.

The sister-in-law of the Rong family sighed, neither of these brothers and sisters is the master who listens to people's persuasion, take this aunt and grandmother as an example, since the loss of her son, this behavior is very different from before, and people are like a different person, "What my aunt says, I will believe it, it's just that, I can't manage this matter so much." By the way, I saw two women with curtains walking out of my aunt's yard, I don't know who they are? ”

"I said that my sister-in-law doesn't know, so you don't care about it." Concubine Rong subconsciously didn't want people to know that she had contact with Lin Long, so she subconsciously hid this matter.

The sister-in-law of the Rong family couldn't say anything when she saw it, and seeing that Concubine Rong was also tired, she had to get up and say goodbye, and when she lifted the curtain and went out, her lips moved for a long time, and she finally didn't say anything more.

After her sister-in-law left, Concubine Rong collapsed on the bed of the Arhat, and her heart was at war between heaven and man.

When Lin Long left the Rong family and returned to the imperial court office, it was already dark, so let Ye Manjun go back to her courtyard first, and she walked into her husband's temporary study.

Ye Xuyao was reading the secret report, and when he saw that it was his wife who came in, he put down the secret report in his hand and looked up at her, "How is it?" ”

"I don't know the result yet, but in my opinion, Concubine Rong will be moved by our words." Lin Long walked over and sat down in the circle chair opposite her husband's desk.

"As long as she is suspicious, in this way, she will not sincerely cooperate with the Nine Princes." Ye Xuyao was quite satisfied with this result.

Lin Long pouted and said: "Now it can only be like this, among the local magnates in Ruyang City, the Rong family has the closest relationship with the Nine Princes, Zhu Ziran's death is there, I don't believe that Concubine Rong really has no doubts at all." ”

Ye Xuyao got up and paced to his wife's side, reached out to lift her chin, leaned over and kissed her on the lips, "You are the biggest hero today, thank you for your hard work." ”

Lin Long grabbed her husband's big hand, "It's a pity that I haven't been able to say the word "lucky", by the way, is there any news from Wei Chishi?" ”

Ye Xuyao stretched out his hand to hand her the secret report he was reading just now, Lin Long immediately let go of her husband's hand, lowered his head and hurriedly browsed, and then said with bright eyes: "So, Huo Yuan is willing to cooperate with us?" ”

Ye Xuyao nodded.

Lin Long put down the secret report and said curiously: "Husband, what kind of person is Huo Yuan?" ”

"A very nasty person."

What is the answer, Lin Long was quite dissatisfied with her husband's answer, so she asked carefully, "You had a holiday with him a long time ago?" ”

"Nope." Ye Xuyao replied quickly, "Except for Huo Xiangyu's incident, I hate him and I. ”

Lin Long heard her husband mention Huo Xiangyu, she still hated her teeth as soon as she heard this name, just because of this woman, she almost had a miscarriage, and she still palpitated when she thought about it, "This Huo family can raise a daughter like Huo Xiangyu, this Huo Yan is an arrogant and unreasonable person, I don't believe that good bamboo can grow in this pile of bad bamboo shoots, and this Huo Yuan doesn't know if he really unites with us?" What if he stabs him in the back? Husband, in my opinion, it is better for this person to be on guard. ”

Ye Xuyao's face was a little strange, "Huo Yuanneng can win the trust of the saints, and he must have something special." ”

"No matter what, I'm still skeptical, don't forget that his house was raided and demoted, and we were also one of the initiators, although it was his sister who was too much ahead of him that day, but who knows if he really didn't care about this matter with us? This title is so rare, his family is gone, if you say that there is no resentment in your heart, you don't believe it if you kill me. After a pause, "It's better to be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”

Ye Xuyao reached out and gently pinched the tender skin on his wife's face, but was slapped down by Lin Long, glared at him and said, "Be serious, tell you about business." ”

"I know." Ye Xuyao said, "This Huo Yuan is not a good evaluation, but he will not abandon his family in Jingzhong, so he will take the risk and follow the Nine Princes to rebel, you don't have to doubt this." ”

Lin Long didn't want to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but hoped that this Huo Yuan was really an open-minded person. Thinking of Huo Yuan, it is natural to think of Wei Chishi, this person did not enter Ruyang City, but secretly left the team and went to the border after greeting her husband, this person's behavior has always been strange, and the suspicion in her heart has not disappeared. "By the way, husband, that, do you recognize Uncle Gao Guo and Huo Yuan in the past?"

"Gao Zhi?" Ye Xuyao looked at his wife suspiciously, "Why did you mention him?" ”

"I just thought of it and asked casually." Lin Long is not good at telling her husband the doubts in her heart, even if the husband and wife are so good that they mix oil in honey, some words are still not suitable to say.

Ye Xuyao's sharp eyes stared at his wife for a long time, and then said: "On the surface, it seems that these two people can't beat each other, Huo Yuan has been a little old man-like figure since he was a child, and Gao Zhi is a person, you also know, this person is a prodigal son." But as far as I know, these two people have a private relationship, Huo Yuan once caused one or two things that were difficult to handle, and Gao Zhi did it for him, what do you say about the relationship between these two people? ”

Lin Longxiu frowned slightly, "In this way, their personal relationship should be good, no, it is more appropriate to describe it as very dutiful." ”

At this time, she pursed her lips, Wei Chishi was willing to persuade Huo Yuan and prove that he was confident, in this way, this person was likely to really be Gao Zhi, thinking of this, her heart beat faster.

Ye Xuyao has been paying attention to his wife's expression, pressing his hands on her shoulders, leaning over and blowing in her ear, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Gao Zhi." Lin Long replied reflexively. As soon as the words landed, she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, and suddenly looked up at her husband, "Husband, it's not what you think......

"What do I think?" Ye Xuyao raised his eyebrows to look at her, and the smile on his face was also a little creepy.

Lin Long swallowed his saliva, got up and quietly stepped back, "Don't be like this, didn't I ask about Gao Zhi before?" Now that I'm thinking about him, it makes sense, okay, I won't tell you, I'm going to see if dinner is ready? ”

She planned to slip away now, and never suffer the cold air released by her husband here.

It's just that she turned around and walked up two steps, and her body was quickly picked up by the man behind her and thrown onto the Luohan bed in the study, only to see her husband pressing on her body, still saying with a smile that made her hairy: "What's the hurry?" Let's talk about Gao Zhi ......"

Lin Long couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart, and even complained to himself in his heart, letting you speak without a brain, now it's okay, see what you should do now?

She put her hands around her husband's neck and looked at him with a sigh of relief, "Don't you scare me like that?" I didn't mean to mention him, didn't I just ask him and Huo Yuan to say this for a while, don't worry about me if you have a lot of adults......"

She lied coquettishly, hoping that her husband would do his best to expose this matter.

Ye Xuyao untied her bun and reached out to caress her hair, "Have I bothered with you?" ”

Lin Long wanted to ask him not to laugh, after seeing his iceberg-like face, he suddenly faced her with such a smiling face, and said things that made people's hearts furious, would she be afraid? So he put away his coquettish smile to please her, pushed him away, and deliberately turned his face and said, "Bad guy, I won't talk to you anymore." ”

was about to get up and leave, she really couldn't stand her husband's expression.

Who knew that Ye Xuyao didn't let her go, and grabbed her hand and pulled her back into his arms, "What's the hurry?" We still have a good communication, since you gave birth to a child, we haven't communicated well......"

Lin Long wants to say that your silence is golden? Why is it so noisy now, I used to let you say that it was like gold, why has it completely changed now?

The husband and wife communicated overnight, and the next day Lin Long's back was so sore that she couldn't get out of bed, so she could only scold her husband behind her back.

Ye Manjun came to see her, as if he had found something, and covered his mouth and snickered.

"Laugh, you're still laughing?" Lin Long glanced at her sister-in-law dissatisfied, did everyone come to see her joke today?

"Okay, I'm not smiling." Ye Manjun put down his hand and sat solemnly, but he couldn't help but smile when he looked at that expression.

Lin Long buried his head in the brocade quilt and said to himself: "Okay, you can laugh enough." ”

blamed his own man for being too ruthless, and he tossed her all night, not just mentioning Gao Zhi, and she was not a red apricot out of the wall, so men are much more careful than women.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I don't laugh, right?" Ye Manjun was still kind in the end, sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out her hand to help Lin Long, in order to avoid the embarrassment of her sister-in-law's thin skin, she changed the topic empathetically, "Sister-in-law, Concubine Teng is sending someone over to invite her sister-in-law to come over, if the sister-in-law is not happy, I will send ...... away."

"Nope." Lin Long hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Concubine Teng asked me to come over the house must be for the marriage between you and Zhu Shizi, seeing that it is December, the end of the year is approaching, and the marriage should not be delayed until the beginning of the Spring Festival, so I still have to hurry up." ”

While saying that she had gotten out of bed and put on her shoes, she felt that her calves were sore, and she scolded her husband in her heart, blaming him for being jealous.

Ye Manjun hurriedly helped her get up, and she was still more worried about her sister-in-law's body, "Sister-in-law, let's rest at home, there is not much difference between this meeting one day earlier and one day later, and it is not worse in one or two ......days."

Lin Long put on his coat and said: "That's what I said, but you also know that there are too many things to prepare for this wedding, if you don't prepare now, you will have to be in a hurry when the time comes, which is not cost-effective." Sitting in front of the dressing table, the maid dressed her, and said, "As your sister-in-law, I also hope that you can marry beautifully." ”

"Sister-in-law, thank you for thinking so well for me."

Ye Manjun wore a bracelet on Lin Long, and his nose twitched with emotion.

"Fool, you call me sister-in-law, how can I not think about you?" Lin Long snorted.

After hurriedly dressing up, she asked Ye Manjun to go back to the courtyard first, this is to discuss the marriage, the bride-to-be still has to avoid it, and the elders of both men and women preside.

Concubine Teng only has a son like Zhu Ziqi, of course, she hopes that her son's marriage can be done in a big way, and without Zhu Chen's way, she will do her best to carry out everything and pick everything well.

Of course, Lin Long was happy to see this situation, so the two people who were not in harmony with each other talked very harmoniously.

After the marriage was discussed, she took a sip of tea, "Concubine Teng, I heard that my niece is sick, is it true?" ”

Concubine Teng frowned, "Is this still fake?" You also saw the events of the day, her young girl was stimulated, and she had to worry about it, and this body had problems, and you didn't stop the child, so he gave Shasha no face like this, this matter was spread all over Ruyang City, how did you let her meet people? ”

Lin Long heard this Teng Bianfei's biased words, and said unhappily: "You have not been able to persuade your son to be obedient, how can you expect us, Teng Bianfei herself is also a woman, so don't be so harsh on my sister-in-law." ”

Concubine Teng also looked displeased, but it was very inappropriate for her to blame Lin Long and Ye Manjun for Teng Shasha's ugly thing, so she lowered her head and drank tea to hide the unhappiness in her heart.

Lin Long did not stay in the Ruyang Mansion for a long time, but discussed the wedding date and left in a hurry.

Within two days, Concubine Rong secretly sent a letter to Lin Long, in which she agreed to cooperate with Lin Long.

Lin Long handed the letter to her husband, "Husband, can you trust her words?" ”

"It doesn't matter, even if she changes her hexagram temporarily, she can't stop the development of things, but with her as an internal response, our plan can be easier to achieve." Ye Xuyao put the letter on the case and said to his wife, "Zhu Ziqi and I have already started to prepare, and we must lead the snake out of the hole in one fell swoop." ”

Lin Long still had some scruples, "Husband, is this really appropriate?" It was ...... day."

Ye Xuyao stretched out his hand to cover his wife's mouth, lightly "shh ”

Lin Long knew the severity, but he was a little reluctant to let Ye Manjun be wronged, but when the two were weighed, it was obvious that her husband's words were more reasonable, so he said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, by the way, do you want to breathe with her sister-in-law." ”

Ye Xuyao nodded.

Lin Long willingly lifted the curtain and went out to find Ye Manjun to talk about this matter-

Off topic -

Sorry, it's been a little less lately, and there should be an update tomorrow at 12 noon to compensate everyone.
