Chapter 87

In Lin Gang's new house, the door of the third room was closed, and there was not a single servant who walked around on weekdays, and they were all ordered by Lin Yu's family to strictly order anyone to move around at normal times except for morning and noon.

All the servants knew that something had happened to the concubine in the second room, and now she was locked up in prison for interrogation, which was something that the Lin family had never done, and it was reasonable for Lin Yu to issue such a ban, after all, the third master Lin Chuang wanted the most face.

Lin Lin sat by the window and wanted to reach out to push the window open, but the mother on the side "snapped" the window and didn't let her open it.

"Mother?"

"Now that this matter has not been settled, you better embroider flowers in your boudoir for me," Lin Yushi leaned closer to his daughter, "It was not easy for us to put all the charges on that slut, as long as she is on top, it will not involve you, Sister Lin, you really got into trouble this time, let your father know that you have a part, I think he has a part in breaking your legs." ”

Lin Lin bit her lower lip and remained silent, if she hadn't met Mrs. Xiangyang Hou so coincidentally, this matter would not have been done like this, for a long time, "Mother, don't I listen to you all now?" ”

"You're going to listen to me and this thing?" Lin Yu glared at his daughter, "I didn't tell you that it was inappropriate to do this at that time, but it's better for you to collude with that slut behind my back, what is her identity, what is your identity?" ”

Lin Lin listened to her mother's clichΓ©s, and she was tired of hearing them for a long time, so she got up and said, "I'm going to go to Mei'er to pass the time, or go to see Brother Shu'er practicing calligraphy, he wrote well yesterday." When she mentioned her seven-year-old brother, she was still happy.

"Not allowed." Lin Yu's family prevented her daughter from going out, she was afraid that she would still be obsessed, and she was even more afraid that she would take her little daughter badly, in case she also learned like her, she might as well go find a rope and hang herself now, "This matter has not been solved for a day, you have to stay here honestly for me." ”

Lin Lin looked at her mother with wide eyes, her mother's face was unprecedentedly stern, it seemed that she was really going to be grounded, and suddenly her face turned down, and she retorted: "Now that there are those sluts who are guilty, what else do I have to be afraid of?" She didn't have any evidence pointing at me. ”

"You give me some peace."

Lin Yu ignored his daughter's objections, got up and turned around to go out, letting people watch at the door, and Lin Lin was not allowed to act alone.

Lin Lin was placed under house arrest in her own room, and no matter how she lost her temper, Lin Yu did not compromise.

The atmosphere between the mother and daughter on the other side was also not very good, Aunt She looked at her daughter who now regretted not being at the beginning, and said bitterly: "How can you do this? Sister Qiong, since you were a child, your mother has taught you not to learn what is bad, as long as you keep your duty, you should be yours, and it will be yours. ”

"Auntie, you save my daughter, I don't want to stay here, I want to go home." Lin Qiong stretched out her hands and grabbed her biological mother's hands and shook them vigorously, "Auntie, I really didn't steal Cousin Lin's things, she gave them to me, and she was also the one who wanted to harm Sister Lin and Lin Long, auntie, you have to believe me, it's all at this juncture, why am I still lying?" Aunt ......"

Aunt She was confused, "What you said is true?" You didn't lie to me again, did you? Now her coins and jewellery have been found in our house, and that's an ironclad fact......"

Lin Qiong shook her head desperately, "No, no, no, auntie, she took the opportunity to frame me, how dare I go to the third room to steal something?" A person as powerful as the third aunt can't spare me. This time it's really her ghost idea, she wants to marry the Marquis of Xiangyang to be the eldest grandmother, and it's true to harm Lin Long......"

Aunt She looked at her daughter a few times, her daughter's temperament is not good, and she blames her for not teaching her well, but such a vicious thing, if no one instigates it, her daughter should not have the courage to do it. "I'll give you ideas, fortunately, your father is angry this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sneak out to see you." He handed the food box to her, "This is food, you can eat first." ”

Lin Qiong nodded tearfully, there is no one else who can be saved now except her aunt.

Aunt She looked at her daughter who was not breathing again, and then got up and carried another food box to see the brother who was also unsuccessful.

In the men's cell, the old mother of the She family stroked her son's hand with tears in her eyes, and cursed her granddaughter Lin Qiong loudly, and when she saw Aunt She coming, she slapped the eldest daughter in the face angrily, "The things that should be plagued, actually hurt your brother like this, and your daughter who killed a thousand knives, they are all a bunch of cheap goods, rags, and prostitutes who are indiscriminate...... "All kinds of ugly words were scolded.

Aunt She was accustomed to her mother's style, and she didn't treat her daughter as a human being since she was a child, so she didn't scold or beat her, and she didn't pay attention to it, but put down the food box, "I brought the food." After a pause, "I'll go first." ”

"Sister, don't go, you hurry up and get me out, talk to my brother-in-law, I don't want to stay here for a day, sister, I beg you, or let Sister Qiong go all over, anyway, it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less......"

Aunt She looked at this brother who had no family affection with tears and displeasure.

The old mother of the She family also had this in mind, and vigorously instigated her daughter to persuade her granddaughter to admit it all, in short, to get her precious son out first.

"I'm just seeing the money in this matter, Sister Qiong said at that time that her cousin promised that nothing would happen, and how to be a person has no credit at all......"

Aunt She heard her brother murmuring dissatisfiedly, and also mentioned Lin Lin, and at this moment she also began to wonder who was behind this matter?

"No matter who you find, you can't get out, so it's better to do it yourself."

Leaving this sentence, regardless of her mother's swearing, she hurriedly turned around and left, still trying to save her daughter, no matter how bad her daughter is, it is a piece of meat that has fallen from her body.

In the Suzhou annex of the Ye family, Ye Zhongshi inadvertently glanced at the hourglass, and then at the young man Gao Zhi.

"Uncle Gao Guo......" It seems that she still has to remind him vaguely that it is time for him to leave.

Gao Zhi had been thinking about his words, and glanced at Ye Zhong, who was obviously going to chase away the guest, and bowed with a smile, "I heard that Ling Gongzi's fiancΓ©e was injured?" Isn't it true or false? ”

Ye Zhong was stunned, why did this Gao Zhi mention Lin Long? It's one thing to have doubts in my heart, but I still have a polite smile on my face, "There is such a thing, but the injury is not too serious, and it can heal after resting for a while, Uncle Lao Gaoguo is worried." ”

Gao Zhi waved his hand and said, "In that case, I don't know if I can ......" to visit, after all, we are familiar with each other.

Before the rest of the words were finished, a subordinate of the Ye family led the servants of the Gao family in and reported outside, "Madam, the subordinates of the Gao Mansion came to find Uncle Gao Guo and said that there was an emergency. ”

Gao Zhi's expression was stunned, what happened?

Ye Zhongshi raised his voice and said, "Bring him in." ”

Gao Zhi hurriedly got up and apologized to Ye Zhong's family, glanced at the little guy who came in in a hurry, and said with a straight face, "Master has something serious, why did you come over?" There's something big about it......"

"Uncle Guo, something happened, there was a problem with a batch of gongbu in Wanqing Buzhuang, and I was in a hurry to ask the master to deal with it."

Listening to the little girl's report, Gao Zhi frowned, he came to Jiangnan this time to purchase palace supplies, this new brocade from Wanqing Cloth Village is the most important of it, how could something go wrong?

Ye Zhong took the opportunity to say: "Uncle Gao Guo has something important to deal with first, Mrs. Ben is only slightly frightened and has no major damage, Uncle Gao's intentions, Mrs. Ben understands it." ”

Gao Zhi listened to the official words of Mrs. Hou of Xiangyang again, did not insist anymore, and made a gesture again, "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Hou, I will leave first, and he will bother him again in the future." ”

Ye Zhongshi nodded, and hurriedly asked the subordinates on the side to send off the guests.

Gao Zhi politely retired, but as soon as he walked out of the main hall of the Ye family, his face suddenly darkened, and he said to the slave who was in a hurry to find him: "When is it?" ”

The slave thought that Gao Zhi had a black face because of the incident in Wanqing Buzhuang, and suddenly he didn't dare to hide it, and said 1510: "They just came to report, and the little one rushed to find the ......."

At this time, Ye Xuyao raised his hand outside the door when he saw his little servant, and said to Governor Zheng and a few others on the side, "I'll go out for a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, he didn't wait for Governor Zheng to speak, he immediately got up and walked out of the flower hall with long legs, Governor Zheng and the others all looked at each other, everyone was discussing just right, what urgent matter did Ye Xuyao have to leave the scene for a while?

Ye Xuyao walked out of the door and looked at the bandit stone, "Gone?" ”

"Gone." Bandit Shi must be authentic, in order to squeeze in Uncle Gao, he deliberately went to find out about Wanqing Buzhuang, saying that he really can't see that the master from the family cares so much about Uncle Gao.

"Did he say anything he shouldn't have said?"

"Before I could speak, I was disturbed by an urgent matter."

Ye Xuyao smiled coldly at this point, waved his hand to signal that the bandit stone could leave, turned around and returned to the meeting.

Bandit Shi shivered all over, the master smiled too weirdly, shook his head, and hurriedly went to do something again.

Lin Long, who was talking to Lin Li, originally wanted to ask in more detail, but Ye Zhong came over with Mrs. Zheng, Zheng Nanzhu and Zheng Xizhu, who were covering the veil, and Lin Bai's mother and daughter had to keep their mouths shut and get up and step aside.

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to hold Lin Long's hands, her eyes were still slightly wet, "What's so uncomfortable about this injury?" ”

Lin Long was not very accustomed to Mrs. Zheng's excessive care, and his expression was slightly stunned, and then he eased up a little, and said with a smile: "It's a lot better, it doesn't hurt when you take medicine, and you can go to the ground now." After saying that, he pretended to go to the ground.

Mrs. Zheng and Ye Zhong were busy stopping it.

Ye Zhongshi glanced at it reproachfully, "This injury is not completely good, you are all in bed for me, I can't go anywhere, do you hear?" ”

"I hear you." Lin Long was as good as a stream, she naturally heard that this was Ye Zhong's concern for her, so why disobey her.

Ye Zhongshi patted her hand lovingly, and did not forget to add another sentence, "But if you really remember, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." ”

Mrs. Zheng naturally also showed the appearance of an elder to ask Lin Long to recuperate from his injuries, not to hurt his nerves, "This case, my lord attaches great importance to it, and he will definitely uproot those who secretly harm you, you can rest assured, you don't have to work hard." After this wound is healed, I will officially feast and marry you. ”

They all knew that Lin Long was married to Ye Xuyao, but they didn't expect that the Ye family would find her a second-grade official for Lin Long's good face, so that Lin Long would not be too criticized for his background.

Lin Li only understood Lin Long's words in Hanshan Temple at this time, and sure enough, her marriage was decided by someone else, not her own father and the third uncle of the fake Taoism, but the righteous relatives of the Zheng family, as the righteous daughter of the Zheng family, the Zheng family had to give a decent dowry, and this time it was all face.

Even if the relationship with Lin Long is much better now, she still inevitably wants to bite the handkerchief, why are the same cousins so far behind?

Lin Bai's expression was also gloomy, she may have been wrong all along, Lin Long will be the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, and she will be the righteous daughter of the Zheng family, such a heavy identity, she can always show her face? In the future, she is willing to bring her own family, but I am afraid that it will be of infinite use.

Thinking about the career of the eldest son Lin Biao, Lin Bai understood that she was going to change the direction of the wind.

So when Ye Zhong and Mrs. Zheng mentioned to her the days and ceremonies when they got married, Lin Bai immediately put on a smiling face, very enthusiastic, no matter how this matter is, it can't get around the Lin family, after all, righteous relatives are righteous relatives, and Lin Long is still in the Lin family tree.

"I think it's a good day......," she immediately echoed Madame Zheng's words.

Ye Zhong's family didn't look down on Lin Bai's family, but looking at her current cooperation, she still said a few words politely.

Lin Long watched them start to discuss the date, and Aunt Green on the side didn't even have the qualifications to interject, so she could only stand beside herself, thinking of how hard she had worked for this family in the past three years, she pondered for a while, watched them discuss the clothes and headdresses, and smiled at the right time: "This kind of clothes or something, my second mother knows best, just ask her." ”

Aunt Green suddenly looked at Lin Long in a daze, with a slight gratitude in her eyes, but she was not qualified to speak from her position.

Lin Bai was the first to react, understanding that Lin Long was going to lift Aunt Green, and she who had always disdained Aunt Green the most, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Look at me I am confused, although Aunt Green is a concubine, but after my uncle passed away, she also fulfilled her maternal responsibilities and has been running the family of Dafang, without merit and hard work...... "wiped her tears in time.

The focus of the words was on the mother word, and it was pointed out that Aunt Green's status was low, but her status was not low.

Mrs. Zheng immediately understood this taste, and glanced at Lin Long without a trace, but she was affectionate and righteous, and she was even happier to accept her as a righteous daughter, "It's that we have to talk about it, and we forgot that there is a person who knows Sister Long so well, and he should be punished." ”

Ye Zhong's family has a good face, and after listening to Mrs. Zheng's words of surrendering her identity, she didn't insist at this time, and her future daughter-in-law still had to give this face, so she lightly invited Aunt Lu to talk in the flower hall outside.

Before leaving, she still glanced at Lin Long, Lin Long smiled at her, but there was a determined look in her eyes.

The flattered Aunt Green was enthusiastically pulled out by Lin Bai to talk in the hall outside.

After a while, there was a discussion of several women outside, during which Aunt Green's voice went from nothing to a whisper, from a small voice to a normal voice.

Lin Long listened for a while, then he put his mind at ease, and began to think a little in his heart, and was pondering, when someone patted the back of his hand, he looked at Zheng Xizhu who clapped her hand apologetically, "Second Miss Zheng, forgive me, what did you just say?" ”

"It's time to fight, we're all going to be righteous sisters, what else is it called Miss Zheng Er?" Zheng Nanzhu smiled, "Call me Second Sister Zheng, I think I can still stand it." ”

Lin Long didn't fight with her, she really called Second Sister Zheng, Zheng Nanzhu also pretended to respond, and for a while several young girls laughed, even Zheng Xizhu, who was wearing a veil, couldn't hide her smile.

"By the way, tell me about your distress this time, I'm curious, they all rumored that you were captured by horse thieves, I don't know how worried I was at that time, but fortunately, you came back safely......" Zheng Nanzhu said like a good sister.

Lin Long interrupted her: "How did you pass it on?" It had only been a few hours since she woke up, and she didn't know a lot of things outside, and now she realized that she had become the protagonist of the rumors.

"It's infuriating." Lin Li said indignantly, "We are in danger for only one day and one night, and most of the people in the city know about it, and they still say it decently, I get angry when I hear it." ”

"Isn't it?" Zheng Nanzhu's face was also full of displeasure, "When my father ordered the search, he didn't mention you two sisters at all, and I don't know why it was passed out?" ”

Lin Long thought about it, "This thing is strange, I remember that there were not many people who went to Hanshan Temple to offer incense that day, it can be said that it was very deserted, even if a few people saw this, it would not be known to the whole city overnight." ”

If it was passed from the executing yacha, this is not true, Zheng Nanzhu has already said that Governor Zheng did not mention the names of their cousins at that time, so that the suspicion of a mouthful of officials can be ruled out.

Zheng Nanzhu didn't know that Lin Long was thinking deeply, so he just waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Now that this matter has been suppressed, any rumors of horse thieves are just a group of rabble, and the people in the city will not be panicked, okay, Sister Long, you quickly tell me about your adventures at that time." ”

Lin Long looked at this Zheng Nanzhu with a curious look, and pushed Lin Li beside him, "I'm clumsy, let my cousin Li tell you." ”

Zheng Nanzhu didn't force Lin Long to say, after all, she was injured, and she pulled Lin Li to sit aside and planned to listen to the story, Lin Li was also happy to talk to the governor's daughter, and she was also thrown to Java when she was disgusted by Zheng Nanzhu before, not to mention Zheng Nanzhu at that time, she also hated herself, and she didn't know it when she was a gunner, so it was even more difficult to hold a grudge against others.

Lin Long was about to bring a bowl of water to drink, and Zheng Xizhu, who had been sitting there obediently, hurriedly stepped forward and handed the bowl to her.

"Thank you, Miss Zheng San." Lin Long said with a smile.

"Miss Lin wants to see me?" Zheng Xizhu is shy in the end, she is not Zheng Nanzhu, nor is she her father's favorite daughter, and she is not as familiar as her sister.

Lin Long saw her bow her head, and suddenly held her hand, "If you don't dislike it, let's be sisters, I'll calculate, I seem to have grown you up for a few months, so let's call me Sister Long, and I'll call you the third sister, okay?" ”

Zheng Xizhu can't ask for it, although she and Zheng Nanzhu are sisters, the relationship has never been very good, Zheng Nanzhu is affectionate in front of people and cold after others, Lin Long is the first person to care about her, so she naturally wants to be closer to her.

"Let me see, what's going on with your face? If this recipe is not good, I'll give you another one. Lin Long directly took off the veil covering Zheng Xizhu's face, and saw that the marks on it seemed to be a little lighter, it seemed that this skin cream was still somewhat effective.

"I have always done what you say, rubbing my face every day, and applying skin cream on time, even my mother and sister said that it looks better." Zheng Xizhu was excited when she mentioned this, as long as she got better and saw hope, she was more confident.

Lin Long checked it carefully, "The amount of silver pill grass is not enough, I'll try to increase it a little more next time." With a big movement, it involved the wound on her back, she frowned and withdrew her hand, and said "ouch" softly.

Zheng Xizhu hurriedly supported her, "Sister Long, what's wrong with you?" It's all my fault, I shouldn't have asked you to check my face for me......"

Zheng Nanzhu, who was sitting on the side listening to the story and was fascinated, heard Lin Long's voice, hurried over, and heard Zheng Xizhu's words of self-blame, his face turned pale, "How many times have I told you, why haven't you listened?" If you don't come, you want to follow, Sister Long is a patient, and your face is not good for a while, even my spot has not been completely eliminated, and I can't stand anything at all. ”

Zheng Xizhu also chimed in: "It's me who didn't pay attention to it for a while......"

Lin Long bared his teeth and said, "What's not in the way, is it that I have to take a look at her face?" Besides, I'm going to do a box of scar removal, and it looks like I'm going to have a scar on my back, but I have to find a way to get rid of it. ”

Women love beauty, she is no exception, even if this scar is not on the face, it is enough to make people upset on the body, and after getting married, it is difficult to guarantee that the husband will not dislike it, of course, you have to take precautions.

When Zheng Nanzhu heard this, she squeezed her eyebrows and winked at her for a while, didn't blame Zheng Xizhu anymore, and pulled Lin Li to continue, "Where did you just say?" Oh, oh, it was when your carriage rushed into Madame Hou's encirclement......"

Zheng Xizhu clenched Lin Long's hand and whispered, "Sister Long, you are so good." ”

Lin Long patted her hand and comforted her, Zheng Xizhu's temperament is not very aggressive, on the contrary, she is sensitive, except for a black dog as a companion, Su Rili has also suffered from everyone's eyes, so she has developed a temperament like her.

To get along with her, you must wake up your spirits, and you must continue to release kindness, Lin Long can't say that she likes her temperament much, but she pities her and has a life experience that is not far from her, she is okay, she has two biological brothers and sisters to support each other, but Zheng Xizhu only has a father who doesn't love her and a mother and sister who pretend to be a faΓ§ade.

The little sisters in this side of the box have endless words, but the adults in the other side of the car have finalized the details and dates, and even the guests are almost sure that they are bound to make this scene of marriage look good and decent.

Ye Zhong's family is no longer picky about Lin Long's background, not to mention that Mrs. Zheng promised to go to Beijing to handle the marriage in person, so that the woman's family will not be too shabby and ugly, she is more enthusiastic about this Mrs. Zheng, and Mrs. Zheng is not much remarkable, but not everyone can get this honor.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at the good scene of the sisters inside, deliberately glanced at Lin Long, and then looked at Aunt Green again, hesitated for a while, and finally mentioned, "That, do we still want to inform you?" "Lin Long's family tree, she already knows it, and Quan's remarriage has been mentioned by her son.

Aunt Green was stunned, knowing who she was talking about, she didn't talk much about this topic, but she was quite angry in her heart, what qualifications did the Quan family have to participate in Lin Long's marriage? Thinking of Lin Long's murmuring mother last night, my heart was sore and painful.

Lin Bai's family doesn't have so many scruples, she has only met with Quan's family a handful of times, and she got along with her father-in-law Lin Youde's death and funeral, and she didn't have any other impressions, but she was quite impressed by Quan's Qinggao, which was incomparable to Lin Yu's fake Qinggao.

"She has remarried and is not surnamed Lin, why should my Lin family's daughter worry about a woman with a foreign surname when she leaves the cabinet?" She pouted in disdain.

Ye Zhong's also means this, after all, the identity is embarrassing, and it is inevitable that people will chew their tongues after tea and dinner, "I still don't mention her, she is now the head of the Linyi Bo Mansion, and it is not easy to participate, so as not to make it difficult for her to be a person in her husband's family." ”

Aunt Green couldn't hide her sadness and said sadly: "When I remarried, both parties said that marriage, birth, old age, sickness and death were irrelevant. ”

When the three of them heard this, their bodies were shocked, did they really say it so badly? They are all people with sons and daughters, where can they really be ruthless enough to cut off all the relationships? At this time, I couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Zhong's couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Lin Long, she had such a biological mother, this Mrs. Huo Boye, she had naturally seen it, she looked delicate and elegant, spoke softly and kindly, she didn't expect it to be such a ruthless person. "Come on, we've decided this matter, the people who should be notified will naturally be notified, and the people who shouldn't be scratched won't be scratched."

All three nodded, and then turned back to talk to the girls.

Near evening, Mrs. Zheng took her two daughters and Lin Long and Ye Zhong to say goodbye and return home, and Lin Bai and Lin Li couldn't bother anymore, so they hurried home.

Lin Long coped with such a scene for a while, and had to think about the words of Lin Li and the others, he was tired in the end, and soon fell asleep.

Ye Zhongshi happened to see her asleep when he turned around, and ordered someone not to wake her up, so he turned around and went back to rest in his own courtyard.

Aunt Green tucked the quilt for Lin Long, sat on the side and embroidered, thinking that Lin Long would have a beautiful wedding, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

At this time, Lin Qi and Lin Dong, who had finished school, came over, Lin Qi was still holding the account book, and wanted to report to Lin Long about the income in the store, but how did he know that the eldest sister was asleep? I had to sit on the side.

Lin Dong pulled Aunt Green aside, "Erniang, Aunt She is waiting for you outside the house, looking at her appearance, I'm afraid there is something urgent to find you." ”

When Lin Qi heard this, his eyebrows raised, "What do you care about this?" Brother Dong, I told you, this person is gone. "She drove Aunt She away when she was outside, what the hell? Thinking that her daughter is the real murderer of her own sister, how can she still hold back her anger?

Aunt Green frowned, at this juncture, she really didn't want to see Aunt She, no matter what she wanted to say to her? She wanted to deal with it, as Lin Qi said, this anger has not disappeared.

"But I looked at her like there was something really embarrassing? Erniang, you better go and see her, she and her daughter have never been the same people. If my sister is awake now, I'm afraid she will let you go over to see her. "Lin Dong is kind-hearted and a scholar, so he looks at things more objectively.

Aunt Green frowned, "Okay, I'll go see what she has to say." Since Lin Dong has spoken, she can't avoid it.

Lin Qi pursed his lips and sulked on the side.

Aunt Green gathered her hair, smoothed her dress, and went out to see Aunt She.

As soon as Ye Xuyao returned to the house, he hurriedly entered his yard and lifted the curtain all the way, but he was stunned when he saw the empty big bed, where is the shadow of a beautiful woman?

"What about people?" He asked with a cold face.
