Chapter 189: Refusal
As soon as he heard his mother-in-law ask about this, Lin Long's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Kwon Yingzi finally came out of the cabinet, and she also caught up with her wedding banquet, which would have been a good thing. Unfortunately, there will always be people who break their mouths at the wedding banquet, and some rumors are not that you don't want to hear it.
She didn't go to Shen Zhiliang's wedding, she didn't care about this person now, so why should she pay attention to his news? Shen Zhiliang married the daughter of a fourth-grade official, which was originally a happy event, but it became a tragedy because of General Lu's daughter Lu Muqing.
Lu Muqing was unwilling to withdraw from the marriage, and after being entangled for a long time, he actually sneaked into the Shen family on the day of marriage and stabbed the bride to death on the spot.
She remembers someone described, "You didn't see that scene with your own eyes? scared to death, this Lu girl's surname is Lu, and her temperament is also reckless, and she is still thinking about being vicious like this. I heard that the dagger that stabbed the dead was given to his beloved daughter by General Lu, and it was very sharp, and the blood and intestines flowed all over the ground, staining the new house red, and when people rushed in, guess what they saw? β
Immediately, someone asked curiously, "What do you see?" You should say it quickly, say half and leave half, isn't this an addiction to hanging people? Come quickly, so that I can wait for the confusion to be solved. β
At that time, there were many people around listening to this gossip, and everyone craned their necks to know the follow-up, and she sat on the main seat by herself, and her ears naturally couldn't listen to such human tragedies.
"What else can you see? Isn't it that the girl of the Lu family stood in a pool of blood with a dagger that was still dripping blood, and a few drops of the bride's blood were splashed on her face, but instead of regretting it, the girl Nalu smiled and said to the groom who rushed over: "She is dead, now it's okay, you can only marry me, Zhiliang, only I am your match, they are not cheap hooves unworthy." ββ
The person who learned the tongue learned this passage vividly, Lin Long had seen Lu Muqing, at that time, because of Shen Zhiliang, the two also had a conflict, this Lu girl was really brainless and impulsive, but she never imagined that she would do such a cruel and inhumane thing.
Not only her, the sound of gasping resounded throughout the banquet hall at that time, and it was rare for such a sensational thing to happen in the capital.
"And what is the groom's reaction?" It didn't take long for someone to react and wonder what was going on.
"What else could it be? Someone dragged the woman with hysteria out and handed it back to the Lu family to take back, but the poor Shen family's housewife fainted on the spot, and she fell ill all of a sudden, and she is still lingering on the sickbed, not to mention that the woman's family is afraid that they will not give up, who is easy to raise a daughter? is still Jin Gui's daughter-in-law, and the things behind this are troublesome, and it's hard to say if Shen Hao's official position will be lost. β
Hearing about this follow-up, everyone sighed and sighed that the Shen family was really unlucky.
However, there were still people who remembered Lin Long's marriage contract with the Shen family, and immediately someone looked at her and said with a flattering smile: "It's still Mrs. Hou's good life, she got rid of the Shen family early, and whoever enters the Shen family is unlucky."
At that time, she smiled and drank a glass of water and wine, and sneered at the man: "My husband's surname is Ye, and it has nothing to do with the surname Shen, what happened to his family and what does it have to do with me?" Madame still eats more vegetables and talks less. Moreover, this is my cousin's wedding banquet, the marriage between the Shenwu Marquis Mansion and the Huaiyin Viscount Mansion, this is a happy event. β
The man touched her nose and was accused by her like this, and slipped away on the spot, and no one else dared to break his mouth at her again. It is estimated that she was afraid of the meaning of her words, and then no one discussed the tragedy at the Shen family's wedding banquet, and the atmosphere was only a little more restored.
It's just that there is this episode, and her mood for drinking wine is a lot grayer, this Shen Zhiliang is really haunting and disturbing.
Now when she heard Ye Zhong's question, she immediately remembered this episode, but this involved her own ex-unmarried family, and it was not good to break her mouth, so she smiled and said, "What can be interesting?" All that could be said on that occasion was congratulations, blessings and celebrations for the two newlyweds. β
"That's true, it makes sense for me to go in person, but I don't listen to this body." Ye Zhongshi said worriedly, on the surface, she didn't suffer much damage from this illness, but it was not easy to raise, and she still felt low in spirit.
"The aunt and uncle of the Zhong family understand, she also asked me to come back and tell you that you must take care of your body is the right way, don't worry too much about other things, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and our sister Jun is a blessed person."
When Ye Zhongshi heard this, the corners of his mouth tugged and smiled slightly, "I hope so." β
Lin Long saw that Ye Zhong's mood had improved greatly, and he was more confident in her recovery.
After talking with his mother-in-law for a while, he saw that Ye Zhong's spirit was slightly uplifted, obviously because of the drug, so he waited for her to sleep, got up and went out to deal with family affairs.
As soon as he got out of Ye Zhong's ward, he was stopped by Aunt Ling, who came to serve the sick.
The two went to the side to talk, only to see Aunt Ling say: "Grandma, you see that your wife's body can't get better for a while, this year has passed again, the marriage of the three girls can not be delayed any longer, and when she is a year older next year, this marriage is even more difficult to discuss, grandma, you are the eldest sister-in-law, can you leave our three girls alone?" β
Lin Long took a closer look at this old aunt, even if she eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, she still can't miss the breath of fireworks in the world, no wonder she will come to serve the sick, this is the idea, "You know about Mrs. Jun's condition, and you have heard about Sister Jun'er, at this time, Mrs. is afraid that she will not have the heart to pay attention to such things, you wait, I will mention this matter to Mrs. later." β
When Aunt Ling heard that she was going to delay, the boss was not satisfied, but she didn't dare to show that this grandmother is now in a high position, and the past is different from the past, "Since the eldest grandmother said so, it is naturally based on the grandmother's opinion, but please also ask the eldest grandmother to take pity on the third girl." This concubine is not willing to come out, the concubine owes her all her life, and she can't let it even talk about a good marriage, and the concubine deserves to die. β
Lin Long glanced at Aunt Ling's way of wiping away tears, in the end, she was also a mother's heart, so she had to say a few words to appease the other party's impatient heart.
At this moment, Ye Man'an hurriedly walked over and grabbed Aunt Ling, "Auntie, what are you talking nonsense?" I'm not in a hurry to get out of the cabinet, now I should focus on my mother's body and my eldest sister. Busy looked at Lin Long again, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to my aunt's nonsense, her words should not be accurate, it is an eventful time now, and I don't want to make trouble for my sister-in-law and mother." β
"It's not enough to add chaos, the third sister-in-law will wait quietly for some time, and when it comes over, the sister-in-law will definitely find you a good family to marry." Lin Long had a good impression of Ye Man'an, even if he acted a little badly that day, he could know that his mistakes could be greatly improved.
Ye Man'an's face was shy, and when it came to marriage, which girl could discuss it aggressively, otherwise she would not be ashamed, "It's troublesome sister-in-law." I thought for a while, "I thought that Ming'er was fifteen, and there was a method of opening the altar in the nunnery, and I was about to ask my mother and sister-in-law, thinking that things were not going well at home recently, and the eldest sister encountered such a thing, so I just went to pray for blessings to go to bad luck, I don't know what the sister-in-law thinks?" β
Lin Long didn't intend to stop her from going out of the house to breathe, the atmosphere in the house had been too low recently, but, "My wife is sick, and I can't go with you, it's not appropriate for you to leave the house with a girl......
"Grandma, the concubine can accompany the third girl." Aunt Ling said busily.
Lin Long glanced at the mother and daughter, it was not appropriate to be accompanied by a concubine to go out of the house, but thinking that there was no need to act so pedantic, he still nodded his head, "But I have to say ugly things ahead, I must go back to the house in the evening, and I must not spend the night outside, and Aunt Ling, you have to accompany the third sister-in-law well, in case of a business trip, I can't spare you." β
"Grandma, don't worry, the concubine won't be bad." Aunt Ling said happily.
When Ye Man'an heard that he could go out of the house, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he pulled his aunt away. Ye Manzi, who came in after lifting the curtain, almost bumped into her arms, Ye Manzi glanced at the third sister who was slightly happy on her face, and saw that she nodded slightly and went out, she was still suspicious.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing standing at the door? Don't come in yet. Lin Long urged.
Ye Manzi ran to her in three or two steps, "What's the matter with the mother and daughter coming over?" β
Lin Long said Ye Man'an's request disappreciatively, and when Ye Manzi heard it, he pouted and said, "Fake." β
Unlike Ye Manjun's gentle and virtuous lady, Ye Manzi sometimes deviates from the right path, Lin Long just smiled when he heard her slightly mocking words, there is a natural gap between these concubines, and it cannot be crossed lightly.
I thought that I would be able to go back to Nanyuan to hug my son and be happy, but I knew that there would be a wave of people coming to the door next.
The first to arrive were Lin Yu and Lin Mei in the third room of the Lin family, the mother and daughter were so anxious to cry when they saw her, Lin Yu pulled her and said, "Sister Long, you can't see death without help, Sister Lin, she is also your cousin, she is now being detained in the official office waiting to be escorted back to Suzhou Hou for trial, this is no return, you are now Mrs. Hou, horizontal and vertical is just a sentence, no matter how you two are born from an ancestor." β
Lin Long gently pushed away Lin Yu's hand, it was also a mother's tears, but this Lin Yu's couldn't arouse her slightest resonance, she walked straight to the main seat and sat down, originally didn't plan to see her, but some words were better to be clear in person, so as to save the future from having troubles.
"Third aunt, sit down."
Lin Yu was stunned when Lin Long pushed her hand away, and now when she heard Lin Long's words, she hurriedly responded with "ouch", and was helped by her daughter Lin Mei to sit down to the bottom of Lin Long, her face was still anxious. Even in addition to Zong, Lin Lin still crawled out of her belly, before she didn't reach the moment of life and death, she just turned a blind eye and didn't care about her life or death, but now facing death, she couldn't sit still no matter what, except for begging Lin Long, she had no one to ask for.
Lin Mei sat in the chair next to her mother, her eyes kept purring, looking at the luxury and elegance of this hall, and then looking at Lin Long's plain but luxurious clothes, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, for this rich marriage, even if the dust had already settled, she was still a little unwilling, she could have sat on the main seat like this.
As for the life and death of the eldest sister Lin Lin, she didn't care at all, she would accompany this mother on this trip, just to enter the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion to see if there was a chance for her.
Lin Long didn't miss the expressions of the mother and daughter, calmly took a sip of tea, and put down the teacup lightly, "Third aunt, I can't promise you about rescuing Lin Lin, I am the one who advocated sending her to the official." β
"You?" Lin Yu's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Long, his hands rolling up his clothes. "How can you do that? At this point, what threat does she have to you, why can't you tolerate her? β
She wanted to visit her eldest daughter several times, but she was stopped by the jailer, saying that someone above had sent a message, and even if she gave money, she was not allowed to visit Lin Lin, a woman who committed a heinous crime.
Lin Long looked directly at Lin Yu's, "What good things did she do, you don't know about it, right?" In other words, she ended up like a fight, and the most responsible person is you, the mother, how did you teach your daughter? The third aunt, she did something that was intolerable to heaven, and she should pay the price. β
"She's your cousin." Lin Mei couldn't help but shout at Lin Long.
Lin Long looked at this cousin with blank eyes, don't think that the small actions she made when she came in could hide her eyes, "Cousin Mei, don't forget that Lin Lin has been expelled from the clan, she is not my cousin, this matter has already been settled, what awaits her is justice, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky." β
Lin Mei was so choked that she couldn't speak, she never felt that this cousin was so annoying.
Lin Long didn't care what she was thinking, she stood up and asked someone to send off the guests, seeing Lin Yu's unwilling eyes, she stopped and said face-to-face with her: "Third aunt, I advise you to focus on the future of the third uncle, you suddenly want to reconcile with me, it is nothing more than for the future of the third uncle, this spring is about to start after the New Year, you still use this mind on the right path." There is nothing I can do about the future of my third uncle. β
She completely rejected the Lin family's third room, and she treated them as if they didn't save zΓ i, and it didn't matter if she didn't come to her door in the future, anyway, except for dragging her feet, these three rooms had never done anything gratifying.
Lin Yu's and Lin Mei's faces were flushed, and both mother and daughter pinned their hopes on Lin Long, now hearing her refusal, where can they accept it lightly?
Lin Yu hurriedly said: "Sister Long, you have to speak with your conscience, your husband's uncle has someone in the Guozi Prison, what is powerless?" And your husband, as long as he speaks, why not help your uncle? If your uncle can go to high school, won't you be able to speak loudly in this husband's house? You have to figure it out, I'm here for your own good. β
Such shameless words can be spoken, Lin Long blushes for these three aunts, what does it mean to be good for her? Dare to love her, she still has to rely on his three rooms to sit firmly in the position of the daughter-in-law of the Ye family? Joke, big joke, suddenly she couldn't help laughing, and Lin Yu's mother and daughter were immediately stunned and stunned.
After a long time, she put away her mocking smile, "Third aunt, let's look in the mirror before talking big, don't say anything, I can gain a firm foothold in the Ye family, and it has nothing to do with Sanfang." Do what you want, come, send off. β
Lin Yu didn't expect that Lin Long would not give her aunt face, seeing that she was about to leave when she was surrounded by people, she hurriedly went to stop her again, but this time she couldn't reach her sleeves at all, and immediately a cold-faced subordinate blocked her, "Sister Long, if you treat your blood relatives like this, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder?" You can get the position of this Madame Hou, and you don't rely on your grandfather's support......"
Lin Long turned his head and looked at Lin Yu coldly, "Grandfather saw the shameless behavior of your three rooms in the sky, I am afraid that I will jump up in anger, you have no face to mention grandfather, you know what you have done over the years, if you entangle me again, don't blame me for being polite." β
With a wave of her sleeve, someone immediately stepped forward and pulled the shameless mother and daughter away according to the order.
Lin Mei struggled, her eyes looked at Lin Long with hatred, her own sister was not wrong, the person who made the big mistake was Lin Long, if it weren't for her, they would all have a good life.
Lin Long didn't miss this cousin's quenched eyes, this is another Lin Lin, Lin Yu really can't teach his daughter, and leads one daughter after another to the wrong path, with Lin Lin's experience, she doesn't plan to let this Lin Mei make any angry things again.
She looked at Nu Linmei with her eyes towards the bandits, "You secretly arranged a marriage for her to marry far away, so far away that she will not be able to return to the capital in this life." Also, I must marry my daughter happily in Sanfang, and I want her to be willing to get on the sedan chair, so that she can come to me again to talk nonsense. β
Send this person away, out of sight and out of mind, so that you don't always have to move your crooked mind in the dark.
Bandit Shi glanced at Lin Mei coldly, this person who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, he really wants to teach a hard lesson, this errand is very simple to complete, "Yes, grandma, the small one will be done." β
Lin Long nodded, and only then did he leave the mother and daughter in the third room behind.
After walking a few steps, I saw the fourth lady Ye Cheng coming over in a hurry, and before anyone approached her, she shouted: "Nephew and daughter-in-law stay here." β
Lin Long stood there, she was not surprised that these four aunts would come to the door, why Su Ziyu was shocked that the fetal guide gave birth in advance, she knew the whole process. Now that the draft in the palace has been temporarily stopped, the concubines involved in this case are all panicking.
As for Feng Jing, who bore the brunt, it is even more impossible to escape, Feng Chen is afraid that he did not ask for the door because of the last incident, this Feng Jing's temperament, it is a matter of time before she gets into trouble, so she is not surprised that she is likely to fall to the ground.
"Nephew and daughter-in-law, it's good to see you, you have to save our sister Han and Sister Lian, they are all innocent, and now they are implicated, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky, you can't see death without saving it." Ye Cheng's eyes were red and swollen and pleading, obviously he had cried on the way here.
Lin Long sighed secretly, do these people regard her as a savior? Everyone came to look for her when something happened. However, her attitude towards the third room of the Lin family was different, this time she looked at Ye Cheng and said: "Fourth aunt, don't worry, if the two sisters don't do what is not tolerated, there will be no problem, Niang Niang is now happy with the prince, where will she still kill?" Your worries are unnecessary. β
Ye Cheng's family has been running around for her daughter for the past two days, and when she heard Lin Long say this, she still couldn't rest assured, "Will there be an accident?" The nephew and daughter-in-law still begged the mother for mercy and let the two sisters come back. β
Lin Long shook his head lightly, "Not now, this case is being tried, if you let the two sisters come back now, where do you put the dignity of the royal family?" I can't open this mouth in front of my stepmother, fourth aunt, aren't you hard for me? In my opinion, it's better to be a little restless, wait and see what happens, as long as you don't do anything wrong, and you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. β
Ye Cheng still couldn't smile, "But? β
Lin Long stretched out his hand and patted the hands of the four aunts, "There is nothing, it is better to be quiet and not to move now, if the fourth aunt really wants to save the two sisters, she has to hold back her anger and wait and see what happens." β
She persuaded the anxious Ye Cheng to go back, this case will not come to light in a day, she will not interfere lightly, dare to harm Su Ziyu, then this group of show girls who don't know the height of the sky will have to pay the price.
After these miscellaneous trivial matters were dealt with, she was able to take a breath and go back to Nanyuan to see her two precious sons.
Ye Xuyao came back near evening, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw his wife crooked on the Luohan bed shaking a rattle and teasing his two sons.
He leaned down and kissed his wife's face gently, stretching out his index finger to tease the small chin of his two sons in turn.
"Coming back?" Lin Long got up happily.
Ye Xuyao pressed her to lie down, lifted his robe and sat beside her.
"You haven't changed your clothes yet." Lin Long looked at his official uniform, and couldn't help but pull, in fact, he was really handsome when he wore it like this.
Ye Xuyao put her claws in her hands, and there was a hint of spring in her eyes, "Don't move." β
Lin Long pouted slightly, leaned into his arms and looked at a pair of little babies, enjoying this moment of parent-child interaction.
Ye Xuyao teased the child, and suddenly said to her, "I recommended Zhu Ziqi to the Holy Lord. β
Lin Long was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his head to look at his husband, "Husband, didn't you say before that you don't need to be in a hurry?" Now? β
"You're right, this marriage is related to the vital interests of the eldest sister, she has always acted steadily, and being able to recommend Zhu Ziqi will inevitably mean that she has her approval, and it is better for the two to be happy in this marriage." Ye Xuyao paused, but still didn't hide his wife, "I have been in contact with people who know Ruyang Palace, although Zhu Ziran is praised by everyone, but this praise by everyone makes me vigilant, who in this world can really praise everyone?" Unless......" He didn't say the last words, but the cold smile gave away his thoughts.
Lin Long had a heart-to-heart with him, and he guessed it, "He is pretending, so this person is very likely to be a hypocrite, how can we rest assured that we will hand over my sister-in-law to such a hypocrite?" Biting his nails lightly, "King Ruyang's recital has not yet been presented, can the Holy One listen to our recommendation?" β
Ye Xuyao tapped the bridge of his wife's pretty nose, "On the one hand, I will try my best to convince the emperor, and on the other hand, it will be up to you." β
Lin Long's eyes widened, and then her eyes rolled, she understood what her husband meant, this was to ask her to enter the palace to find an opportunity to talk to Su Ziyu and said, women's hearts are soft, this involves marriage, it is not simply a matter of the prince establishing a successor.
After suddenly realizing this, she nodded, "I'll talk to my stepmother." β
Ye Xuyao clenched her hand, fortunately, his wife entered the eyes of Queen Su, so that the happiness of the eldest sister should be expected.
After the funeral of the prince, Ruyang City was restored to a prosperous scene.
Ye Manjun has been recuperating for so many days, but he still chose a crisp autumn day to sit in the carriage and take a stroll around this bustling town, in fact, the purpose is to choose the shop pΓΉ opened by Yufufang. This time, she is sure that she will not be able to return to the capital, so it is better to work hard to integrate into this Ruyang City.
This time, she went out with enough guards, which prevented any situation from happening, and Ye Xurong escorted her outside, so she was safe.
When she came out of a shop, she saw a long figure appear in front of her, because the sun was quite fierce, she slightly blocked the light with her hand, and squinted at the figure that was blown by the wind.
"Miss Ye." Zhu Ziqi approached her and called.
Ye Manjun was stunned for a moment, and curtsied, "Second Master Zhu, it's such a coincidence, I met ...... here."
"It's not a coincidence, I deliberately waited for you here." Zhu Ziqi's face did not change when he said this, he thought about it for a long time, and finally came to Ye Manjun according to his heart.
Ye Manjun slowly reddened her ears, she didn't look at him directly, but lowered her head slightly and pressed her lips with a handkerchief to hide her gaffe, but then thinking of Teng Yuanyuan, her face turned slightly cold and returned to her normal state.
"What advice does Second Master Zhu have for me? Or are you coming to me for a theory because I reprimanded your fiancΓ©e that day? If that's the case, I don't think I'm at fault, Second Master Zhu ......" The more she said, the more serious her expression became.
Zhu Ziqi interrupted her words and said a little unnaturally, "She is not my fiancΓ©e." β
"Huh?" Ye Manjun looked stunned, and couldn't react for a while.
Zhu Ziqi coughed lightly a few times, and said in a slightly embarrassed voice with a calm face: "Teng Yuanyuan is not my fiancΓ©e, my mother did mention marriage with my uncle's family, but there is no marriage certificate as evidence, and there is no exchange of tokens, which is not considered a marriage, so she is not my fiancΓ©e." β
He explained it as if he usually commanded his subordinates, but his words were quite clear, and he told Ye Manjun the ins and outs.
"But why did she ......" Ye Manjun looked at the way he spoke, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth for some reason, and barely suppressed the strangeness in his heart, such a man seemed to be quite cute.
It's just that she didn't have time to finish her words, and the last few words of why she came to demonstrate to me were stuck in her throat, and Zhu Ziqi explained again: "This is just her wishful thinking, I haven't given her any promises, my cousin is spoiled by my uncle's family, and she has always acted inaccurately, and she has to clean up the aftermath of her behavior all these years......"
Ye Manjun quietly listened to the man in front of her speak in a deep voice, her little face was always filled with a gentle smile, compared with the unhappiness when she first met, she really changed her opinion of this man a lot now.
The breeze blew, blowing the hems of the two of them, secretly intertwined, just like the secret hearts of the two.
In the garden, the embroidered curtain was secretly sad, the girl didn't let her wait in front of her for the past two days, and she didn't take her with her when she went out of the house this time, can she not cry? The eyes fell on the flowers one by one, adding to my pity.
Suddenly, someone gently wiped away her tears, and then when she looked up at the man who had fallen from the sky with her hazy eyes, she heard him sigh and say, "What are you crying for?" β
