Chapter Ninety-Eight
Lin Long saw the bandit Shi go out, and then looked back at Qi Niang, only to see that the latter didn't even have the courage to look at her directly, this flower girl seemed to be not much different from Aunt Green's temperament.
Qi Niang kept wiping her tears and knelt on the ground, "This master, Miss Lin, please let go of the slave family, the slave family really won't dare next time......
"Do you dare to think about the next time?" Ye Xuyao smiled coldly.
Qi Niang suddenly sat on the ground in fright, her teary eyes widened, and she looked like the sky was falling.
Lin Long secretly pulled his sleeve, this Qi Niang is not bad in nature, but she will do wrong things again and again at the instigation of Yan'er, as Aunt Green said, she just wants to be good too much, so she is unwilling to let go of the slightest opportunity, and blames Gao Zhi for giving her a lot of illusions.
Ye Xuyao snorted lightly, pulled out the sleeve of Lin Long's coat, sat in the chair alone with a muffled hum, and said to the little servant on the side: "Take her to the yamen first and lock her up, intending to do bad things to the women of good families, this is not a small crime." is a slave, and to do such a thing is to seek death by yourself. The last words were for Qi Niang.
Qi Niang cried and was escorted down by the little girl, if she insisted on her heart in the morning, there would be no such thing, the more she wanted to get more, the more she lost.
The subordinates in the study went out one by one, and gradually only Lin Long and Ye Xuyao were left.
Lin Long grabbed his big palm and saw that the back of his hand was still a little red and swollen, so he said, "I'll ask someone to bring the ointment and apply it to you......"
Ye Xuyao withdrew his hand and said inappropriately: "I haven't seen blood, so why make a fuss." β
Lin Long said unhappily: "What do you mean by making a big fuss?" Even if you smash the table, it will hurt your hands, so you have to put some plaster, I have the final say. β
With that, she turned and went out and ordered the maids outside to bring the ointment.
Ye Xuyao looked at her back, his face seemed ordinary, but he was not unwilling or unwilling, and the corners of his mouth even rose slightly, the amplitude was very shallow, and he could hardly see it.
When Lin Long turned back, he already had a medicine box made of white jade porcelain in his hand, and walked in front of Ye Xuyao, "Take it." β
Ye Xuyao looked up at her uncooperatively. "It's long-winded, they all say it's okay."
Lin Long grabbed his big palm rudely, his fingers were already stained with some ointment, and gently applied it to the red and swollen part of the back of his hand, as if he was afraid of hurting him, and blew it to make the effect of the ointment work faster.
Ye Xuyao felt that the back of his hand was cold, and when she blew it, it was even more itchy, and a pair of black and bright eyes stared at her face for a moment, and the quiet and beautiful little face made him even more excited.
"Alright." Lin Long was about to withdraw his hand.
Ye Xuyao suddenly grabbed her hand and held it very tightly, and she couldn't break free for a while.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Long's tone was slightly reproachful, always doing whatever she wanted, this person's temperament was really blind to her at the beginning.
After a while, just when she was impatient, Ye Xuyao said in a low voice: "I kissed you outside just now, it's not good for me." "She is a big girl, and the impact is naturally not good, even if the house has a gag order, it is only to blame him for being too confused and obsessed at the time.
She almost forgot about it, he still mentioned it at this time, Lin Long was a little stunned, and it was a little embarrassing to forgive him or not to forgive him, so he had to purse his lips and not answer him.
"Are you still angry?" He asked tentatively, and in front of her, he was less and less like himself.
"Nope." She replied in a quiet voice, "You let go, I'll close the medicine box." β
Ye Xuyao still didn't let go, and said uncertainly: "Are you really angry?" β
Lin Long said angrily: "It's not raw, it's okay, right?" β
Ye Xuyao showed a smile that turned everyone upside down, and his fingers picked at her palm, but the seemingly unconscious movements were extraordinarily tempting.
Lin Long was puzzled by his smile, and then his face flushed again, this time he struggled hard, he didn't clench it anymore, so she broke free of his hand, Lin Long, who withdrew his hand, still felt the tingling in his palm, clenched his fist behind his back, and became more and more Meng Lang, muttering in his mouth, "The one who is close to Zhu is red, the one who is close to ink is black, and the ancestor is honest and does not deceive me." "It's all broken by him, and she pushes a qiΔ sin on his head.
Ye Xuyao naturally heard her muttering voice, and this time he didn't say anything to upset her, and a smile on the corner of his mouth showed his good mood.
"What are you going to do with Qi Niang?" After a while, Lin Long asked while holding the lid of the ointment on the side box.
"What do you want her to do? Naturally, it will not end well. "Ye Fayao's temperament has always been retribution, not to mention that this time Qi Niang's plan touched his scales.
Lin Long's brows frowned, in her eyes, Qi Niang's sin is not to death, but then she thinks about it, if she accidentally catches the way between her and Yan'er, I am afraid that I want to cry without tears now, and I really have to sigh that everyone has a life.
Outside the house, a maid reported through the curtain, "Master, Mrs. asked Master and Miss Lin to eat together." β
Ye Xuyao raised his voice, "I know, sue Mrs. SΓΉ, and it's over." Getting up, he naturally took Lin Long's hand, "Let's go, let's go." β
Lin Long looked at the hand he was shaking hands, and sure enough, the man's words couldn't be believed, and he apologized to her before, but now he reverted to his old ways, his face sank, and finally acquiesced to his actions.
When the two of them arrived at the courtyard where Ye Zhong's lived, there was a burst of singing and laughter inside, Lin Long heard the voice of his little sister Lin Qi, and indirectly Lin Dong's voice, Ye Zhong's recognition of her younger brothers and sisters was the most joyful thing for her.
"My mother likes your little brother a lot." Ye Xuyao said.
"Brother Dong is well-behaved and naturally likable, and my grandmother also favored him when she was alive." Lin Long said with a smile.
"Don't you understand what I mean?" Ye Xuyao looked at Lin Long with a straight face, "When the time comes, your family will also return to Beijing together, and my mother intends to set up a courtyard in the house to accommodate your younger brothers and sisters." This is not easy for his mother, many people want to deliberately please her but can't, but Lin Dong delicately closed her eyes.
Lin Long was stunned, marrying him was a sure thing, but she didn't expect that Ye Zhong's future mother-in-law, who was a bit powerful, agreed to support her mother's family, in fact, she also had a headache for the placement of her younger brothers and sisters, it was not okay to stay in Suzhou, none of her uncles and aunts were well-intentioned, and she had to follow back to Beijing, so that she could rest assured, but this place of residence was not easy to decide for a while.
Living with Lin Chuang and his wife, even if Lin Chuang has no opinion, she doesn't agree, the two families have too deep grievances, and they are afraid that Lin Chuang and his wife will secretly make it bad, and it will not be easy to find a suitable place to live for a while.
Ye Zhong's private disclosure to Ye Xuyao was good, but Lin Long still had concerns, "When the time comes, I will think about it, I don't want to be criticized by your relatives because of this, your family has too many people, and it must be mixed, I'm afraid that someone will say something ugly." βγ
She is nothing, she is great to be a dog barking, but the little sister's temperament is a little rushing, and she will definitely not be angry, and when the conflict comes, what Ye Zhong's will think, only God knows.
Ye Xuyao heard that her concern was reasonable, "I asked someone to send a letter back to Beijing to find a comfortable place for your younger brothers and sisters, but the Ye family has a private school, and I will arrange it when the time comes, and it is appropriate for your brother to go to class inside." β
This Lin Long didn't object, he didn't expect him to help her solve this problem so simply, suddenly clenched his hand, he was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at her.
"I don't think marrying you is as bad as I thought." She smiled.
Ye Xuyao's face darkened, thinking of what she said to her friend Bei Mingfei before, her face became even more ugly, the corners of her mouth were tight, and she almost threw off her hand and left.
Lin Long felt his yin and yang weirdness, and only felt inexplicable, how could this person be so windy and rainy, and he pouted.
The two didn't talk again all the way, and the atmosphere was a little sluggish.
Lifting the curtain and entering the inner room, Ye Xuyao let go of Lin Long's hand and didn't do that affectionate act again.
Lin Long breathed a sigh of relief, he should have been happy, but for some reason he was a little disappointed.
Ye Zhongshi smiled: "You guys are finally here, let's wait." β
"Mother, you can eat first, don't wait for us." Ye Xuyao said coldly.
Ye Zhong's face was pale, this son even dared to throw her face, so he was naturally not very happy.
Seeing this, Lin Long stepped forward to salute Ye Zhong's family, "Let Mrs. Hou wait, but ours is not, Ye Gongzi's hand was injured before, and it took a little time to take the medicine, so it was too late." β
Lin Qi and Lin Dong were also slightly surprised, when Ye Zhongshi heard that his son was injured, how could he care about being unhappy, he hurriedly got up and walked to his son, and said hurriedly: "Where is the injury?" Hurry up and show my mother. β
"Mother, it's okay, it's just a little red and swollen." Ye Xuyao glanced at Lin Long, and his attitude was finally not so cold.
Ye Zhong still grabbed his son's hand to look at it, and sure enough, when he saw the bruising, he was immediately distressed, "You child, you don't tell your mother if you are injured, do you want your mother to die in a hurry?" β
Lin Qi and Lin Dong also hurriedly got up and greeted them, at least their future brother-in-law, whether it was out of worry or etiquette, they couldn't turn a blind eye.
Ye Xuyao withdrew his hand, "Okay, it's really okay, let's quickly let someone set the meal." β3
Ye Zhongshi looked at his son's expression for a while, and there was no big problem as he said, so he relieved himself to let people set the meal and pull Lin Long into the table affectionately.
When cleaning his hands, Lin Long saw Ye Xuyao washing his hands, and frowned secretly, it seemed that he would have to mention him for another medicine after the meal.
Ye Zhongshi saw this small detail in his eyes, and was quite satisfied with Lin Long's daughter-in-law, and he could be so concerned about this little injury, and he should be able to take care of her son in the future, so he gave the incense rafter a look, and the incense rafter immediately stepped forward to give Lin Long a lot of dishes.
This time, Ye Xuyao didn't give Lin Long vegetables like last time, her face is thin, and there are juniors like Lin Qi and Lin Dong, so it is not suitable to be too affectionate.
Lin Long secretly glanced at him a few times, eating the food in his mouth, feeling a little untasteful, but after thinking about it, it was only a few days, she relied on him so much, if he had a new favorite in the future, and then gave the other party vegetables, and then didn't care about the other party's saliva, then how could she be embarrassed? Thinking about it like this, she quickly calmed down, she could live her life how she wanted, she could envelop him when she was young, and the only one she could rely on when she was old was her own heirs.
She knew this better than anyone else, and she didn't need anyone to show up and say it.
During the banquet, she still told Ye Zhongshi about the section where Dr. Cao came to her, and regarded it as a report, and sure enough, Ye Zhongshi did not have a surprised expression, but said that Dr. Cao was also a filial son, which shows that Ye Zhongshi had already known about the scene at the door.
Lin Long couldn't help but be glad, fortunately, he said it first, otherwise this Ye Zhong might not have thought of where to go?
The meal was a great joy and all parties were very satisfied.
After drinking fragrant tea for a while after the meal, Lin Long urged Lin Qi and Lin Dong to go back first, after all, the night was dark, and he was afraid that there would be an accident, Ye Zhong smiled and asked people to set up a carriage and send the two sisters and brothers away.
Lin Long also got up to say goodbye, and sent the younger siblings out to leave in a carriage.
When she arrived at the carriage park, Lin Long stood and waved goodbye to her younger brothers and sisters in the evening breeze, feeling that someone was standing around her, she didn't need to ask, she also knew who it was, "Didn't you say that there was still official business to deal with?" As soon as he finished dinner, he left first, so it was still a little strange to see his figure at this time.
"It's done." Ye Xuyao said lightly, looking like he was going to walk back with her.
Lin Long saw his intentions, and in order to ease the atmosphere that was a little stiff before, he said, "It's dark at night, you can send me back to the courtyard." β
Ye Xuyao nodded, habitually took her hand and walked towards the guest house where she lived.
The two of them didn't talk much on the way, but the atmosphere was quiet and beautiful.
After walking through a corridor, the two saw the bandit stone hurrying over.
"Found the maid named Yan'er?" Ye Xuyao asked.
"Found it." Bandit Shi's expression was a little strange and authentic, and without waiting for his master to ask again, he said, "Uncle Gao Guo personally escorted her over." β
"How could it be Uncle Gao?" Lin Long was surprised.
"Let's go, we'll meet him." Ye Xuyao temporarily turned a corner and dragged Lin Long to the hall of his courtyard, what tricks did this Gao Zhi play?
Lin Long did not refuse, for Gao Zhi's appearance, he felt that this person was uneasy.
Gao Zhi was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and was pondering, when he heard footsteps, he turned his head to look, he was not surprised to see Ye Xuyao, he didn't expect to see Lin Long, his eyes moved down, and he saw the two holding hands for the first time, his eyes flickered, and the hand under his sleeve clenched the tea bowl in his hand.
After a long time, he put down the teacup and got up to make a gesture, "Ye Yushi." β
Instead of letting go of Lin Long's hand to avoid suspicion, Ye Xuyao held it tighter and replied in a cold voice, "Uncle Gao." β
Lin Long felt the tension between the two people, she knew this, she didn't come over to join in the fun, her eyes looked at Yan'er who wanted to cry without tears, Yan'er also happened to look at her, struggling to speak, her mouth was blocked by a cloth, and she couldn't say half a word.
Gao Zhi followed Lin Long's gaze and looked at Yan'er, "I heard that Ye Yushi is searching for this person, so I specially sent it, this maid doesn't know what to do, and she actually came to me and talked nonsense, which makes people so disgusted." β
Ye Xuyao squinted at Gao Zhi with disdain on his face, and secretly snorted coldly, this Gao Zhi did this, nothing more than to show in front of Lin Long that he didn't know about the dirty plan, "It's troublesome Uncle Gao, this maid really likes to talk nonsense, and does things extremely insidious, fortunately, my fiancΓ©e is vigilant, otherwise she will almost fall into her way, and people who don't know are afraid that they still think that it has something to do with Uncle Gao Guo." β
When Lin Long heard Ye Xuyao say this, she hurriedly squeezed his big palm, but the man didn't let go, but held it tighter, so she had no choice but to do it.
"I don't have any relationship with such a woman." Gao Zhi raised his head slightly and denied it.
The corners of Lin Long's mouth twitched, this Gao Zhi lied and kindly slapped the draft.
Ye Xuyao sneered, "Uncle Gao Guo is a bright festival." β
Gao Zhi's face turned red, for a man who loves prostitutes, he really can't deserve these four words.
Lin Long glanced at the turbulent undercurrent of the two men, so he had no choice but to say to the mud: "This smoke has also been caught, what should I do with it?" β
Ye Xuyao looked at Yan'er and saw that she was rolling her eyes, looking like she was going to do something insidious, so he said in disgust: "Naturally, you can't keep your tongue if you talk too much, cut off her tongue and send her to the military camp as a military prostitute." β
As soon as Yan'er heard this, all the ghost ideas were thrown to Java, and she shook her head together, she originally wanted to ask Gao Zhi to save Qi Niang, and made up a set of rhetoric, in this Suzhou City, the only person who can fight against Lin Long's fiancΓ© is Uncle Gao Guo, the idea is good, but I didn't guess this ending.
"Hmm, hmm......" When she was pulled down and passed by Lin Long's side, she desperately looked at Lin Long with frightened eyes, hoping that she could say something to intercede for her, she didn't want to be a mute, let alone a military prostitute.
Lin Long didn't look at her, and made it clear that he didn't sympathize with her experience, if he really let this scheming maid succeed, it would be himself who was complaining now.
Gao Zhi saw that the matter had been resolved and did not block himself, so he quickly proposed to say goodbye, and deliberately glanced at Lin Long before leaving.
