Chapter 64: The Mourning Star
At the end of the year, there was a truce from the front, and the people in Kunzhou Mansion were also relieved.
After the New Year, when the spring was just beginning, the war started again, and it was very fierce.
As the battle ahead became more and more intense, there was also an undercurrent in Li's mansion. Even Zhang, who has been taking children in the yard, began to be unable to sit still, and in the past few days, he has frequently recruited his mother's brothers and sisters to come to the Li Mansion.
The battle ahead is tight, the Li Mansion is secretly turbulent, and even the maids and ladies are cautious in their words and deeds, for fear of doing something wrong and annoying the master.
On this day, Linglong unexpectedly met Zhang on the way to ask Duan for peace, and saw Zhang talking to the maid next to him while walking, and was stunned when she saw Linglong.
"I've seen my second sister-in-law." The Zhang family was the first to react and blessed Linglong's body.
"Hurry up." Linglong stepped forward and helped her, "Are you also going to say hello to your mother?" β
"Yes." Zhang smiled, and unconsciously looked at Linglong with his eyes.
"Fourth brother and sister, could it be that my clothes today are inappropriate?" Linglong was a little weird by her eyes, and always felt that there was a pitiful taste in that look.
"No, it's beautiful." Zhang shook his head, "It's a pity that I can't lose weight now, and I can't wear such beautiful clothes." β
Zhang's listened to Linglong's Jianyì and fed the child himself, and he ate well, so he didn't recover his figure.
"You," Linglong glanced at her, "After weaning Brother Yu'er, you will definitely lose weight after exercising well." β
Entered Duan's Ci'an Hall, I didn't expect Old Man Li to be there, the moment I saw Linglong coming, Old Man Li's eyes were cold, and when Linglong went to see it again, Old Man Li had already turned his gaze away, and the two nodded after saluting and went out.
"Father's ......"
"Nothing." The smile in Duan's eyes couldn't be hidden, "Our family has a happy event, and your father is happy." β
Glad?
Zhang was stunned for a moment, his face was black like that, and he was still happy?
"What is the happy event that my mother said?" Zhang Shi asked with a smile, "Could it be that the third brother has been promoted?" β
Only the third brother Li resolutely promoted would make the Duan family so happy.
"Yes," Duan said with a smile, "I wrote from before, and now I am already in the Langzhong of the Ascending Household Department. "Duan's family is just over forty, and she has been well maintained, and now that this son is out, she can finally raise her eyebrows.
What made her even more excited was that the people she sent to inquire about Li Zhuoran on the battlefield in the west brought back news that Li Zhuoran had disappeared for several days.
Duan's heart couldn't hold back the excitement, God finally heard the expectation in his heart, and took back the thorn in the flesh.
Looking at Linglong again, although she still didn't like it in her heart, thinking of the rich dowry behind her, the Duan family was still kind.
Just now, she told Mr. Li the news of Li Zhuoran's disappearance, which made Mr. Li unhappy, but at the same time, Mr. Li also thought of it with her.
So when he saw Linglong, Old Man Li's face was not good-looking.
What made Old Man Li make up his mind even more was the words of the senior monk, Linglong was a person who was about to die, but suddenly turned the corner, it was she who restrained Li Zhuoran and exchanged Li Zhuoran's life for her own life.
So Linglong at this moment is a mourning star in the eyes of Old Man Li.
He would never allow such a daughter-in-law to stay in the Li Mansion to harm others, but if she was divorced, the dowry that made people would no longer belong to the Li Mansion.
Old Man Li had a headache and instructed the Duan family to leave Linglong's dowry no matter what, and drive Linglong out of the Li Mansion.
Even if Li Zhuoran comes back in the future, he will understand his hard work.
With Old Man Li's instructions, Duan's eyes on Linglong were even more interesting, pitiful, sympathetic and resentful...... Various expressions took turns on Duan's face.
The people in the room were very puzzled and looked at her suspiciously.
"That's it, I'm tired, you go down first." Duan Shi waved her hand, she was a little anxious, how could she let people see her hole cards so quickly.
"The promotion of the third brother is a happy event, mother to see if our family wants to celebrate?" Linglong stood up and asked with a smile.
"It's a step up, let's celebrate later." Duan waved his hand, although his son was promoted, but Li Zhuoran's life and death are uncertain now, and now is not the time to celebrate.
Linglong smiled and nodded, said yes and then retreated.
Duan Shi looked at her figure, and the corners of his mouth raised, dead girl, wait for the news to be confirmed, see if you can still be so calm?
When she returned to Tinglan Garden, Linglong called Tong's mother in, "Hasn't the person sent by my mother to find the second master come back yet?" β
Don't know how? When Linglong saw Duan like that today, she always had a bad feeling in her heart, and Duan's eyes when she looked at her made her very uncomfortable.
"Not yet, or I'll send a few more." Mother Tong said worriedly, "Could it be that Grandma Fei heard some rumors?" β
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back from Duan's face badly, and he kept asking about Li Zhuoran.
"No, I always feel uneasy, as if something is going to happen." Linglong walked around the house a few times, "Mother sent someone to go to the eldest aunt to have a look, I want to go and ask her old man to say goodbye." β
The old lady of the long house who Linglong wanted to see at this moment was also worried, "Tell me if Linglong asks, what will I say?" β
Although the old lady of Changfang has been living in seclusion for the past few years, Changfang's connections have always been there, and she had already discovered that something was wrong when Linglong just woke up, and she had already sent someone to find Li Zhuoran.
Naturally, I also knew the news of Li Zhuoran's disappearance.
"Mother, I can't hide this if I want to, brother and sister...... Sooner or later, it will be known. Mo comforted the old lady of the long house, "It's just that he is missing, it may not prove that he is ...... He's ......"
But it's been almost a month since he was missing, and this person can still be found?
"Poor boy." The old lady of the long room wiped away her tears.
"Mother, you must cheer up." Mo Shi said while giving the old lady of the long room a good sigh, "This news will spread in the next two days, you have to think carefully about how to deal with this matter." Over there...... I'm definitely going to take this to the table. β
Mo Shi is naturally referring to the Duan family, such a good opportunity to hit Linglong, the Duan family will never let go of this good opportunity to take revenge.
"yes, we can't mess around." The old lady of the long room patted Mo's hand, "Good boy, thanks to you by your side to remind me." β
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing in the house, and the voice of the maid came from outside, and Linglong came over to say hello to the old lady of the long house.
Here it comes.
The old lady of the long room sorted out her mood and nodded to Mo.
She couldn't hide from what should have come, she hoped that Li Zhuoran would be okay on the one hand, and on the other hand, she hoped that Linglong could escape this catastrophe and survive.
