In the clean and damp prison, Bei Mingfei and Lin Long hugged each other and cried for a while, and Lin Long took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face, "Ah Fei, don't be afraid, I will definitely think of saving you out......"

Bei Mingfei's expression was gloomy, "Ah Long, you ...... Don't force it, this case is not for you and me to touch, I don't want to involve you for my ......"

Lin Long stretched out his hand to gamble her mouth, "What else do you and I have to mention that is not involved?" As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it......"

"Miss Lin." Bei Shen, whose wounds had been bandaged, heard Lin Long's words, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Long's hand like a life-saving straw, "Lord Ye is the official in charge of this case, you are his fiancée, I and the master can die, but Sister Scarlet and Brother Lang can't die, Miss Lin, it was wrong for me to be an aunt in the past, don't take it to heart, now, except for you, we have no one to ask for......"

The Bei Shen clan wanted to kneel down and beg Lin Long to help their Bei family in the past friendship.

Lin Long hurriedly helped Bei Shenshi to prevent her from kneeling, "Aunt Bei, what do you mean by this?" I have an old relationship with Ah Fei, how can I ignore it? But my strength is meager, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything? ”

"Miss Lin, with your words, I can close my eyes even if I die now, as for the rest, just leave it to fate." Bei Shen's sleeves are in tears, the escape attempt failed, the family is now in prison, the mother's family is now too busy to take care of themselves, and the former friends are hiding far away, until the bottom, you won't know who is true and who is false?

Lin Long's words are much more useful than casual blurt assurances, he has seen strong winds and waves, and knows who is credible when he speaks, and who is equivalent to farting.

"Mother, aren't you embarrassing Ah Long? If she and Ye Gongzi have a gap because of this, you and I will be to blame, Ah Long, don't worry about it, don't get involved in this case......"

Bei Shenshi looked at her daughter, her expression was even more ugly, she didn't want to ask anyone, but her daughter didn't understand the truth that the shape was stronger than the human?

"Fei." Lin Long called her unhappily, knowing that she meant well, but who did she think she was? Greedy for life and afraid of death?

"Ah Long, don't get me wrong, I'...... It's just ......" Halfway through speaking, Bei Mingfei leaned on Lin Long's shoulder and cried for a while.

When Lin Long came out of this cell, the sky was already dark, her eyes were red and swollen, and the handkerchief in her hand was even wet with tears, obviously crying and crying.

Ye Xuyao had been watching her talk to the mother and daughter of the Bei family in the dark, her expression was tighter than usual, and when he saw her walking out of the cell, he stepped forward and followed, "Why are you crying like this?" ”

When Lin Long heard this, he turned around and looked at him with the yellow light of the lantern on the corridor, the corners of his mouth were pursed, his eyes didn't even blink, and his whole expression was indescribable.

Ye Xuyao was looked at by her for a long time, and her brows furrowed even tighter, "Why do you look at me like this?" The voice was slightly displeased.

"Nothing." Lin Long retracted his gaze.

Ye Xuyao's displeasure did not lessen, but intensified, grabbed her arm, forced her to raise her eyes to look at him, and said something colder than usual, "Make it clear." ”

Lin Long struggled, his expression was a little repulsive, and his voice was quite unhappy, "Don't be like this, let go of me quickly, this is the governor's yamen, it's not good for people to see it......"

Ye Xuyao's anger was difficult to calm down, she ignored it like this, or secretly guessed, which made it difficult for him to be happy, and he held her arm tighter.

When Zheng Huahan came over, he happened to see the fiancée arguing, so he hurriedly walked over, "What's the matter, this is?" ”

"Brother ......" Lin Long was about to speak, asking him to stop Ye Xuyao from going crazy, did Zheng Huahan keep saying that she should be his brother? She would give him a chance to express himself now.

It's just that before she could say anything, Ye Xuyao grabbed her arm and walked away without saying a word, not giving her a chance to greet others at all.

"Hurry up and let go of me-" Lin Long slapped his hand unhappily, and looked at Zheng Huahan even more anxiously, "Brother Yi, come over and help me ......"

It's okay not to say this, but when she said that Ye Xuyao's expression was even more ugly, she actually asked other men for help? Is he a Flood Beast? Going to eat her?

This time, he didn't have the heart to pity Xiangxiang and cherish the jade, and directly grabbed her to go faster.

Zheng Huahan also reacted, and hurriedly chased forward, "Brother Ye, what are you doing?" The righteous sister is young, you have put it well, put her arm first......"

Ye Xuyao shot out a slap in the eyes, and Zheng Huahan suddenly froze in place.

Seeing this, Lin Long couldn't help but want to ridicule and sneer, this righteous relative really can't be seen as a real relative, how can he still remember you at the critical moment? At that time, she was really wronged in the Ye family, and she counted on them to come forward to help, but in her opinion, she still expected the sun to rise faster in the west.

It wasn't until she got into the carriage and she was thrown onto the soft cushion that Ye Xuyao let go of the hand holding her, she struggled to sit up, rubbed her pinched arm, and stared at Ye Xuyao who was sitting next to her with a robe in her eyes rather unkindly, "What are you crazy about?" You are the one who told me that the Bei family will be fine, and now you are the one who caught Ah Fei in prison with his own hands, how can you let me believe you? ”

When she saw Ah Fei being imprisoned with her own eyes, the seeds of suspicion fell like this.

"Am I so unreliable in your eyes?" Ye Xuyao squinted his eyes and approached her, and his whole body was cold.

"You said it, not me." Lin Long argued, not afraid of his evil voice now. "Words must be believed, deeds must be fruitful, Ye Gongzi is familiar with the books of sages, this truth does not need me to teach."

Ye Xuyao was furious and punched him.

Lin Long thought he was going to hit her, his eyes closed, but he heard the sound of the wind in his ears, and then there was a heart-pounding sound on the car wall behind her, and she subconsciously pressed her heart to calm the horror from her soul.

"What do you mean by scaring me like that? Ye Xuyao, if you can't do it at that time, don't promise me. She was not afraid to die and provoked her again.

"Shut up for me, Lin Long, don't let me have the urge to strangle you." Ye Xuyao withdrew his hand, raised his head slightly and squinted at her, took out a letter from his cuff and threw it to her.

Lin Long's eyes caught it quickly, and the four words on it were very familiar, "You...... Was it given to you by the bandits? ”

She handed over the letter to Bandit Jian this morning, and solemnly told him to send the letter to Ah Fei, but she didn't expect Bandit Jian to hand it over to Ye Xuyao.

"These are extraordinary times, don't write to her." Ye Xuyao's expression was extremely indifferent, and he didn't want to deal with Lin Long like that.

Lin Long looked stunned, pinched the letter and hurriedly pulled his sleeve, "Tell me honestly, how is this case going?" Ah Fei and Uncle Bei, can't they be saved? This is a man's business, why should a woman be implicated? It's not ...... reasonable."

Ye Xuyao sneered: "How is the case going? How can I get to you? Miss Lin, even if you are my fiancée, there are some things that you can't ask, you'd better not ask. Then he sneered, "By the way, don't you believe me?" So why do I need an answer? ”

Lin Long's face turned pale, her lips pursed even tighter, and the envelope in her hand was crumpled by her, "So, are you going to sue me?" It's impossible to help Ah Fei's family? ”

Ye Xuyao looked at her fixedly, pursed his lips and said nothing.

There was a voice from outside, "Master, Miss Lin, I'm back in the house." ”

Ye Xuyao didn't wait for the carriage to stop, he pulled out the sleeves that Lin Long was pulling, the sleeves were flicked unhappily, and he got out of the carriage and walked away.

Lin Long, who was thrown off by him, bit her lip and watched his back disappear into the night, and her expression was a little arrogant.

Bandit Shi looked embarrassed, looked at the direction in which his grandfather left, and then looked at Lin Long, who stepped on the stepping stool to get out of the carriage, the palms and backs of his hands were all meat, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.

After a while, he sighed and said to Lin Long, "Alas, Miss Lin, you misunderstood your master...... but he stopped talking, and finally said "I'm sorry", and hurriedly caught up with Ye Xuyao's back.

Lin Long stood in the summer breeze, his fists clenched tightly.

"Miss Lin, are you back?" As soon as the rafter saw her, she hurriedly walked over, "Mrs. has been waiting for several hours, why are you only coming back now?" ”

Lin Long frowned and looked at the incense rafters.

The rafter looked at her and seemed a little confused, and hurriedly reminded: "Miss Lin, don't you remember your wife's advice when you went out in the morning?" ”

Lin Long woke up and Ye Zhongshi was going to return in the evening, so that he could cut a few new clothes for her and put on the façade, I still remembered before, but when I saw Ah Fei who was escorted back to the case, she only cared about talking and crying, and completely left this matter behind, if it wasn't for the incense rafters to mention it, she wouldn't remember it at all.

Where can you still stand still? Looking at this day, she was late and late, Ye Zhong's temperament was a little suspicious, and she rushed to Ye Zhong's courtyard without her feet.

"Miss Lin, Mrs. didn't eat much for dinner today, so it can be seen that she is not happy......" The incense rafter took the opportunity to remind, for fear that Lin Long would not know.

In order to wait for Lin Long here, she found several excuses to wait here, for fear that Lin Long would not know to ask her wife for the first time after returning home.

Lin Long nodded gratefully, if it weren't for the incense rafters, this time she was afraid that she would completely offend Ye Zhong's family, although this was a trivial matter, Ye Zhong's family would not really reprimand her, but there was always a thorn in her heart.

When she arrived at Ye Zhong's courtyard, she tidied up her clothes, lifted the curtain and went in calmly, and saw Ye Zhongshi sitting on the Luohan bed drinking tea, and her eyes did not look over.

She stepped forward and bent her knees to plead, "Please forgive Mrs. Hou, the little woman did not deliberately disobey Mrs. Hou's kindness, nor did she deliberately return to the house when Hou arrived, but because something happened to the little girl's friend's family and caused her to be imprisoned, the little woman only cared about comforting her, which is ...... It's late......" At this point, she sobbed slightly.

Ye Zhong is really angry with Lin Long, when it came to the appointed hour, she waited for her for more than an hour, but she was good, she completely threw her orders to Java, and there were tailors and cloth merchants and subordinates around, as her future mother-in-law, Lin Long, the future daughter-in-law, dared to hang her like this? Where will her face go? That's right, she saved her, but she can't ignore each other's identities and do whatever they want? Why did you respond to her words lightly before?

In short, all in all, she is extremely unhappy.

Now seeing Lin Long bending her knees there, she didn't speak for a long time, but tasted tea by herself.

Lin Long didn't say any more words to ask for forgiveness, and the crying voice was also swallowed back by her, she didn't plan to play the sad card in front of Ye Zhong's family, Ye Zhong's person would like a well-behaved and obedient daughter-in-law, and he would not like a daughter-in-law who only knew how to cry, and Ye Zhong's had eaten more salt than she ate, and she had too much to do in front of her, that is, Lu Ban made a big axe in front of the door, and he couldn't do anything.

The sand in the drip flowed through thinly, neither fast nor slow, blooming alone.

None of the maids dared to peek.

When the incense rafter came in to refill the tea for Ye Zhong's family, he glanced at Lin Long, who was still bent on his knees, his eyebrows were raised, the teapot in his hand was slightly tilted, he poured out the tea, and said in a low voice: "Madam, the master just returned to the mansion, and just asked the bandit to come over to pass the word, saying that he would come over to ask his wife for peace later." ”

After speaking, she respectfully stood behind Ye Zhong's and did not squint.

Ye Zhongshi flicked the tea residue, took a sip of tea, and after a while, he said softly: "Get up." ”

Lin Long got up at this time, because it was a little long, her knees were slightly numb, and when she stood up, her body shook slightly, and the incense rafters immediately stepped forward to support her, and she secretly glanced at the fragrance rafters gratefully.

Seeing this, Ye Zhongshi was also half angry when he was released by the pigeon, and pointed to the opposite position: "Miss Fulin come and sit down." ”

The incense rafters were ordered, helped Lin Long to sit opposite Ye Zhong's, and then went down to make a bowl of hot tea for Lin Long to slow down.

"If you don't come back, you won't send someone to deliver a message? Miss Lin, this is indeed yours and not. Ye Zhongshi looked at her, "I'm not embarrassed by you, such negligence, I can do it here, if you return to Beijing, you are still like this, there are so many people waiting to pull your braids behind your back, and even I may not be able to help you at that time?" I'm also asking you to have a long memory this time, don't do things in the future like this. ”

is the so-called slap on the wrist to give a sweet date, Lin Long understands Ye Zhong's intentions, but in the final analysis, this matter is because he is negligent because he only cares about the past, and it is no wonder that others take the opportunity to punish him.

"What Mrs. Hou said is that the little woman remembered." She said.

Ye Zhong's expression softened, "It's good that you know." After a pause, he frowned again and said, "What happened to your friend?" I want to think about it, is it the one with the surname Bei? ”

She has also attended several banquets in Suzhou City, does she have any impression of the richest salt merchant in Suzhou? It seems that his daughter has a good relationship with Lin Long, and now she still knows the hottest topics in the city.

"It's her." Lin Long said with a gloomy expression.

Ye Zhongshi knew that his son came to Suzhou on official business, and he was investigating this case, so he said: "This case is not the turn of our women's Taoist family, and you can't help much, according to my words, it is better to take care of the injury......

Lin Long said: "Ah Fei and I have known each other since childhood, and now that she is in prison, it is impossible for me to stand idly by?" Mrs. Hou, if you can, could you please help me? Ah Fei and her mother are just female dependents, and it is ...... for men to carry this matter."

Ye Zhongshi shook his head, "The person investigating the case now is Brother Yao, I am his mother, and I can't hold him back." ”

This makes it clear that she will not make a move even if she has the ability, after all, her son is the most important thing.

Lin Long suddenly understood, and didn't say any more begging words, his fingers rolled the corners of his clothes under the table, "I understand, Mrs. Hou didn't say it as a little woman, this is the case that Ye Gongzi is mainly investigating, I know how to measure inches, and I won't drag him back." ”

He can throw off his sleeves and leave, even if she begs him with a shy face, I'm afraid that there won't be any good results?

"I'm glad you think so." A slight smile appeared on Ye Zhong's face.

Lin Long couldn't laugh, so he could only pull the corners of his mouth casually.

"You haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Ye Zhongshi asked.

"Not yet, I can't take care of it for a while." Lin Long replied honestly.

Only then did Ye Zhongshi raise his voice and call someone to bring the food in, "I have less food today, so I will eat a little more with you." Facing the incense rafters on the side, he said, "Go and invite Brother Yao over." ”

The incense rafter nodded, and immediately hurried out.

She was just about to lift the curtain of the hall outside, when she saw Ye Xuyao coming, so she retreated back to the back room and patted her chest, fortunately, her self-made smart words have now come true, otherwise Mrs. is afraid that she will not have her good fruit to eat, but at that time, this is the only way to make Ye Zhong's anger disappear.

"Madam, I'm coming over."

When Ye Zhongshi heard this, he glanced at Lin Long, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, this son had heard that she was embarrassing Lin Long's words, so he came so quickly.

Lin Long looked as usual, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

After a while, Ye Xuyao came in and gave Ye Zhongshi a salute first, without looking at Lin Long.

"Now that everyone is gathered, let's have another meal."

Ye Zhongshi gave an order, and all the subordinates got busy.

All kinds of dishes were gradually put on the table, and the three people in the tea room were seated as usual.

During the banquet, but Ye Xuyao still habitually gave Lin Long one or two dishes, Lin Long thanked him in a low voice, in addition, they had almost zero communication, even Ye Zhong's family found out that they were strange, they were good to be like that before, now what's the matter?

Ye Zhongshi had questions, but he was smart not to ask them at this time.

After the meal, she arranged for Lin Long to go back to rest first, and then leave her son to talk.

Lin Long curtsied, then lifted the curtain and went out, and the incense rafters sent her back to the guest house.

"That's a lot of you just now." Lin Long has always had a clear distinction between love and hate, and there will be no less words of thanks.

The incense rafter smiled and said: "What is this slave maid, Miss Lin is not polite, in the future, the slave maid will take more care of Miss Lin." ”

Lin Long also smiled knowingly, "That's for sure." ”

When she returned to the guest house, she saw that the courtyard was empty, and then she remembered that Aunt Green was left behind by her at the governor's yamen, and Ye Xuyao left with her in her hands, so she forgot Aunt Green.

She slapped her forehead, and immediately turned around and ordered someone to prepare a carriage to take Aunt Green back.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Aunt Green coming in, and she was busy pulling Aunt Green, "Erniang, why did you come back?" I was about to pick you up, and I was not good ......"

"Zheng Gongzi sent me back." Aunt Green didn't annoy Lin Long either, "I came out of prison, but you are gone, listen to Zheng Gongzi's words, do you have a dispute with Ye Gongzi?" ”

She was worried all the way back, I don't know if Ye Xuyao embarrassed Lin Long?

Lin Long said lightly: "It's not a big deal, by the way, Erniang, have you eaten?" If not, I'll have people cook a little ......"

"I used it, I used it in the governor's yamen, and Mrs. Zheng is also worried about you, so let you go to her place tomorrow." Aunt Green said.

Lin Long nodded, as for what Mrs. Zheng was going to say, she could still guess, and besides, Ah Fei was still locked up there, so she still had to go over to visit anyway.

This night, no one could sleep well, and Lin Long had dark circles under his eyes when he got up.

After she freshened up and changed her clothes, she went to Ye Zhong's courtyard to greet her, and said that she would go to the governor's yamen again, this time Ye Zhong's agreed very quickly, and asked her to bring some food to the people of the Bei family, in the end there was nothing good to eat in the cell.

Lin Long was surprised by the speed of Ye Zhong's transformation, which was beneficial to her, and hurriedly thanked her.

She was about to go out with the food box, and Ye Zhongshi said, "Brother Yao is also going, you can go with him." ”

Lin Long glanced at Ye Zhongshi with a slight suspicion in his eyes, and finally nodded.

When she arrived at the prepared carriage, she happened to see Ye Xuyao coming from the corridor opposite, talking to Bandit Shi all the way, and Bandit Shi nodded vigorously, as if in response to something.

Ye Xuyao felt that there were eyes looking at him, frowned slightly and turned his head to look over, and saw Lin Long in the morning breeze dancing in a pine green shirt, a few strands of silk on his head fluttering in the wind, carrying a big food box in his hand, and Aunt Lu in the back also mentioned one, obviously going to visit the prison.

The two looked at each other silently, and for a while, Ye Xuyao continued to move forward, and when he passed by her, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye, paused, and then crossed her and went directly to the prepared carriage.

Bandit Shi smiled and asked for peace greatly, "Miss Lin, it's early." And dogged took the big food box in Lin Long's hand, "This is for the small one." ”

"I'm in trouble." Lin Long said politely.

She got into the carriage alone, lifted the curtain of the carriage and went in, and saw Ye Xuyao reading the file there, as if she didn't see such a big person as her there, and her face sank.

When Aunt Green came in, she saw the two people sitting far apart, like the Chu River Han Realm, her eyebrows tightened, and sure enough, Lin Long didn't believe anything in her mouth, she had never seen it before, she looked left and right, and her heart was anxious, and her mouth was almost bubbling in a hurry.

Along the way, Lin Long turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and the file in Ye Xuyao's hand made a "rustling" sound, as if everyone was busy in their own way, and the atmosphere was very sluggish.

Seeing this, Aunt Green had to find a topic by herself and asked the answer that Lin Long wanted to know the most, "Young Master Ye, the girl of the Bei family will be released safely, right?" She is still so young, it would really be unreasonable to die like this. ”

Hearing this, Ye Xuyao put down the file in his hand, raised his head and looked at Aunt Green lightly, his expression did not mean repulsion, "This case is under investigation, if Pei Yu's appearance is good, then the Pei family will not have any big trouble." ”

These words contained a lot of factors, Lin Long's eyebrows frowned, he instantly understood a lot of content, and looked at Ye Xuyao with a slight surprise.

Ye Xuyao didn't look at her, and picked up the file again to look.

For a while, the atmosphere calmed down again.

Lin Long savored Ye Xuyao's words, and just as her thoughts were flying, the carriage had stopped, she came back to her senses and was about to ask a question, Ye Xuyao had already stepped off the carriage with long legs, and talked to Zheng Huahan who was waiting on the side.

Seeing this, she had no choice but to get out of the carriage by herself and stepped forward to say a few words to Zheng Huahan.

Zheng Huahan said with a smile: "Miss Lin will go to meet my mother first, she has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Lin Long nodded, said a few polite words, and glanced at Ye Xuyao, who seemed to feel something, but he was talking to Zheng Huahan while walking, and he didn't give Lin Long a look.

Lin Long muttered, and then instructed Aunt Green to visit the Bei family first and send the food over, Ah Fei had never suffered this hardship, so she still tried her best to make her better.

Aunt Green nodded happily.

Lin Long then followed the maid of the Zheng family to the backyard, preparing to meet Mrs. Zheng.

Walking through one corner after another with a heavy heart, she didn't have the heart to look at the road, but was just thinking about how to reply to Mrs. Zheng's question later, and she was in a trance.

"Miss Lin."

A familiar voice sounded behind her, and she looked back suddenly, and sure enough, someone came over in the corridor opposite, this person she was quite familiar with, and the person who called her was him.

"Uncle Gao, how are you doing?"

Hearing her question, Gao Zhi smiled, "Torei, it's not bad." ”

Lin Long didn't have much heart to borrow a conversation with him, and besides, she was going to be engaged, and she shouldn't talk much with a foreign man, so she saluted and said: "If Uncle Gao Guo has nothing to do, the little girl should take the first step, after all, Mrs. Zheng is waiting for the little woman to ......."

Gao Zhi looked at her face carefully, compared to the ruddy in the past, Lin Long's face today was very bad, a pair of bright big eyes were full of bloodshots, and the bottom of the eyes was even darker circles covered with powder, which showed that she didn't sleep well last night, and he secretly speculated in his heart.

Seeing her turn around and about to move on, he didn't catch up, but leaned against the pillar and looked at her, "Miss Lin, I know a little about the Bei family's case, let's see if you are willing to talk to me?" ”

Lin Long's footsteps slammed, and he turned his head to look at Gao Zhi, what did he mean by this? Can he exonerate the Bei family?

Seeing that Lin Long really stopped, the smile on Gao Zhi's face widened, and he continued to throw down the bait, "Miss Lin, this is not a place to talk, if you want to know the progress of the case, how about we go out of the house to talk?" ”

Lin Long smiled coldly, "Why does Uncle Gao Guo bother to make a fool of himself? You are just a procurement by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you have nothing to do with this salt case, how can I believe your words? Are you really, playing with me as a little girl, is it fun? It's not your relatives and friends who are in jail now, so you naturally can't understand my feelings. ”

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left without hesitation, making it clear that she was not moved by Gao Zhi's words, the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, it was too late for her to avoid suspicion, how could she go to talk elsewhere with him alone? If there is any gossip, he will be said to be romantic, and he is afraid that he will not even be able to save his life.

The smile on Gao Zhi's face was suffocated, in Lin Long's eyes, he was just a little young? His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth revealed his displeasure.

"Miss Lin, what if I have the ability to help you rescue the Bei family?"
