When Lin Ling was thinking hard about how to find out what happened more than ten years ago, he heard that Yuxuan had an uninvited guest.

"Yo, I didn't expect this Tingyu Xuan to be your industry!" Qin Keke clasped his hands around his chest and said with an exaggerated smile, "Lin Ling, you are really capable, even if you are driven out of the capital, you still live so well." Do you think I should have intervened in ruining this? If the Queen Mother knew your whereabouts, what kind of challenges would you face? ”

Lin Ling smiled casually: "If you can find here, it also means that you have become a lot smarter." Qin Keke, I have no grievances with you, why do you always target me? In the past, you could make things difficult for me everywhere for the sake of the prince, but now, you are also the general's wife, why bother to hold on to the previous festivals? Anyway, your Qinhou Mansion is kind to me, and we can still be good sisters. ”

"Your good sister is only Ma Xiaoge, and I, Qin Keke, don't bother to be sisters with you!" Qin Keke said coldly, walked in front of Lin Ling, stared at Lin Ling's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Yesterday, did you go to the General's Mansion to tell the secret?" ”

Lin Ling frowned, he figured it out in an instant, and couldn't help but put down the case file in his hand.

She stood up, circled around Qin Keke, and said in a brisk tone: "I just said that you have become a lot smarter, and now, I will retract this sentence!" Qin Keke, with a little brain, you should be able to think of why you couldn't go to the palace yesterday, and you even came here to question me? ”

"Who else could you have?" Qin Keke was not short of breath, "You told the general that I was going to the palace to visit the prince, how could the general not know that I liked the prince, so he put me under house arrest!" If I can't go, then you can go, who else but you can snitch? ”

Lin Ling shook his head and said, "Although I want to see the prince, I won't be so unscrupulous. You think about what Chen Huiniang said the day before yesterday, she asked you to go for two purposes, one is to embarrass me, and the other is to find out if the child is in Qinhou Mansion. Think about it yourself, please leave if you understand it, and if you don't understand it, I don't want to say anything more. ”

"Kid? What child? Qin Keke was confused, but remembered that Chen Huiniang had mentioned this matter.

Lin Ling said again: "This is not something you should know. After saying this, Lin Ling suddenly thought that if she wanted to win over the general, in fact, it was okay to start from Qin Keke, thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Keke, I heard that there is a concubine in the General's Mansion who is extremely arrogant now, and she often acts mischiefly with the favor of the general, but is this really the case?" ”

"Even you've heard that?" Qin Keke gritted his teeth, not wanting to admit it, but as soon as he looked up, he saw that the huge bookshelf was full of case files, pursed his lips, and said, "Okay, you are now the boss of Tingyuxuan, what do you not know?" I'll tell you straight, that little concubine is a maid in the General's Mansion, and it was only a few days after I married into the General's Mansion that she climbed into the general's bed, which is shameless! ”

Lin Ling listened quietly and didn't interrupt Qin Keke, but his brain was thinking quickly.

Qin Keke has always admired Long Yuze, even if Long Yuze married the princess and married the general, he still remembered Long Yuze. In fact, she doesn't necessarily love Long Yuze much, but the feeling of this first love is unforgettable for anyone, especially this kind of "can't get" psychology makes Qin Keke crazy about it.

She has been clothed and fed since she was a child, without her father's control, and her mother eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, and her brother takes her as a treasure, so naturally she wants something. The feeling of not getting the same thing makes her always think about how to get it. She doesn't care about the world's eyes, she says it out loud when she has love, even if everyone in the capital knows about it, she doesn't care, she just wants to be with the person she loves.

This is actually not a very complicated feeling, it's just that Qin Keke is an exposed person, so it naturally becomes complicated.

Many women are like this, even if they get married and have children, there will still be another person in a corner of their hearts.

Therefore, from this point of view, Qin Keke should also attach importance to his marriage with the general. It's just that she hasn't recovered intellectually, and she always thinks that she is still the carefree girl she was at the beginning, but it can also be seen from her beating and scolding the general's concubine that she actually expects to be cherished, but the person who is cherished seems to be never her.

"Coco, it's been two or three months since you married into the General's Mansion, right?" Seeing Qin Keke nodded, Lin Ling said again, "The person you want to marry in your heart is Long Yuze, but Old Madam Qin and Little Marquis Qin forced you to marry the general, so you don't care about what the general's mansion does, is that so?" ”

Qin Keke raised his chin and said, "Why should I care? Anyway, I don't want to marry into the general's mansion, so it's better to let the general look at me unpleasantly and divorce me......"

"Hughed? A woman who is divorced will be spurned! Lin Ling interrupted Qin Keke's words, "You said it so lightly, do you know what your brother will do if the general really divorces you at that time?" Where can you, an abandoned woman, go? You can only go back to Qinhou Mansion and be taken care of by your brother and sister-in-law, do you think this will be more interesting? Or, do you think you can be with the prince without any scruples, you are also wrong, you are an abandoned woman, why does the prince like you? You know, when you were a young lady with a family background and good looks, the prince didn't choose you......"

"Shut up!" Qin Keke was angry and roared directly.

Lin Ling smiled gently: "Don't be in a hurry to get angry first, I'm just analyzing this whole matter with you." You are not having a good time in the General's Mansion now, even if you are successfully freed, life will not surprise you much. In my opinion, what you have to do now is to improve your current state of life. If you like the prince, you should still keep it in your heart, take all your energy out of running your family, don't be occupied by that little concubine, when the time comes, you really have nowhere to go. ”

Lin Ling's words were perfect, and Qin Keke was furious when he heard it, but he knew that what she said was the truth, so he had to endure it.

In Qin Keke's life, no one has told her this great truth at all, and this is the first time she has heard someone evaluate her life.

Seeing that Qin Keke had calmed down, Lin Ling also relaxed, stood up and took down a case file and handed it to Qin Keke, and said, "Coco, I'll tell you the truth." Now if you want to save the prince, you must get the help of the general, but the general has always been neutral on the issue of the successor to the throne, so it is not easy to convince the general to help the prince. But you're the general's wife, so it might be easier for you. ”

"You say so much to me, just to ask me to help you convince the general?" Qin Keke put down the case file and looked at Lin Ling with raised eyebrows.

Lin Ling shook his head: "I didn't want to drag you into this troubled water, but if you don't go through this trip, I'm afraid you will never be able to get out." The prince is the person you admire, the general is your current pillow person, and now you have to use the power of your pillow person to help the person you admire, I know that this is not an easy thing. But Coco, we can make a deal, you just need to help me, then I can help you get rid of that concubine. ”

"I don't care so much if that concubine exists or not." Qin Keke said coldly and stood up, "This matter is of no use to me, I don't need to help you." If it's to help the prince, I'm very happy, and I'll talk about it when I meet the prince. With that, she turned around and walked out of Tingyuxuan.

Looking at the back of Qin Keke leaving, Lin Ling was thoughtful.

According to the address and looking all the way, Lin Ling never expected to find the alley where Mingyue was.

And the family and Mingyue's house are only a few dozen meters apart, when passing by Mingyue's house, Lin Ling peeked in a few times, it was empty, there was no one, but the door was wide open. For Mingyue, Lin Ling didn't have any feelings, and he didn't have anything to do with it, so he just glanced at it a few times and walked over.

"Ashin, are you sure it's here?" The further you go inside, the more dilapidated the house becomes, worse than where Mingyue lives.

Ashin nodded and said, "Can't be wrong, they saw with their own eyes the room that the woman entered." ”

Lin Ling had no choice but to walk in, knocked on the door, and a ragged woman with silver hair walked out with a dustpan, and said suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Lin Ling smiled and said, "Excuse me, is this Qingya's home?" ”

"I'm her mother, what's the matter with you?" The woman's face was still full of doubt.

Lin Ling turned around and nodded at Ashin, sure enough, it was here. This Qingya is the general's concubine, and she is also a personal maid who grew up serving the general, she thought that this woman was fatherless and motherless, but she didn't expect someone to hear Yuxuan but saw Qingya sneaking out of the general's mansion here. She couldn't let go of any clues, so she simply found them herself.

"This is what Qingya asked me to bring to you." Lin Ling smiled and took out a money bag in his arms and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Ling blankly: "Where did this girl get so much silver?" ”

Lin Ling was also stunned, this Qingya is now the concubine of the General's Mansion, and she is extremely favored, how can she not have silver flowers? She brought the silver here today, but it was just a good cliché under this guise, but she didn't expect that there was an inside story here. Thinking of this, she said quietly: "Qingya has always been thinking about her family, and she knows that your old life is difficult, so she specially asked me to bring a little silver over." ”

The old woman opened the money bag, looked at the huge silver ingots inside, and sighed: "This girl, I saved the money to buy myself some delicious and easy to use, why bother to give me this old woman who is half cut into the ground?" ”

The old woman in front of her was only forty years old, but she was full of white hair, wrinkled face, and looked like she was sixty, but her body was quite light, so Lin Ling could see her true age, and said with a smile: "Qingya often mentions you to me, saying that it is not easy for you to bring her up with hard work, and it is also appropriate to earn money to honor your old age." According to the information obtained, Qingya has only one mother and one brother, the mother does needlework at home and sells it, and the elder brother is nostalgic for the Qinglou casino.

The old woman was a little relieved, put away the silver, and said: "Qingya, this girl, it's really hard, when I was a child, for her brother to study, I forced her to make a maid ring for a big family, and it was more than ten years. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, she is sensible now, and she knows how to send the silver back, but her brother is getting more and more confused, and he doesn't even care about his mother......"

"Qingya's life is getting better now, and I will honor your old man in the future." Lin Ling followed the old woman's words, but the doubts in her heart became more and more serious, it stands to reason that Qingya has become a concubine in the General's Mansion, and this old woman's life should be getting better and better, why is she still crying about what happened to her life?

The old woman tried the corner of her eyes and said, "A few days ago, I asked a matchmaker to tell Qingya about her family, I was sorry for her when she was young, and I must tell her the best when I talk about family." This girl, the next time you see Qingya, tell her to ask her to come back once in a few days, so that her family affairs can be settled. ”

"Well, don't worry." Lin Ling patted the old woman's shoulder and said softly.

Coming out of the alley, Lin Ling hurriedly looked at Ashin and said, "Could it be that Qingya became the general's concubine, her mother doesn't know about it at all?" Lin Ling frowned, for the poor common people, it was also an honorable thing to be the concubine of a big family, why would Qingya hide this thing that was enough to improve her family from her mother?

"I'll send someone to find out." Ashin said in a deep voice.

"Nope." Lin Ling waved his hand, "What can only be found is the truth, I think this is a psychological reason, the main thing is to start with Qingya, what does she think, who can know?" ”

Ashin nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Miss, starting with the general's concubine, how can we get the general to stand on the side of the prince?" I think that even if the general likes Qingya again, he will not change his political stance for the sake of a concubine. ”

"I didn't think about it yet, but I think the more I know, the better it will be for us." Lin Ling thought for a while and said, "Ashin, if you look back at this matter, in the General's Mansion, the old general is comfortable, and there is no need for the general to worry about it." Qin Keke is brutal and willful, and the general doesn't like her at all. And Qingya can be said to be the general's favorite concubine, if I'm not mistaken, the general must really love that Qingya. Think about it, if Qingya is threatened by the crown prince and the queen mother, will the general still maintain a neutral attitude? ”

"Qingya is just a weak woman, even if she has scheming, it is unlikely that she will be involved with the prince, right?" Ashin still couldn't figure it out, and asked blankly.

Lin Ling turned around, stared at Ashin and laughed, "You've been with me for so long, why can't you figure out what I'm going to do next?" ”

Looking at Lin Ling's bright smile, Ashin felt that his throat was dry, and there was an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Lin Ling seemed to feel this emotion, she cleared her throat, turned her head again, didn't look back, and said slowly: "If we can't get in touch, then we'll borrow a hand in the middle, and if there is no contact, let them have a connection." But before I can do that, I'm going to meet that green sprout for a while, and I need to know what's going on in her heart. ”

For Lin Ling's decision, Ashin has always obeyed unconditionally, and this time is no exception.

On the second day, Lin Ling casually found an excuse to visit the General's Mansion.

Qin Keke has always had nothing to do in the General's Mansion, although she is the housewife in the mansion, but the housekeeping and accounting are all done by her dowry girl and grandmother, so she seems to be very leisurely. When Lin Ling came in, he saw her watering the flowers, and she seemed to be humming a small tune.

"It seems that I was wrong, your life in this general's mansion is also quiet and comfortable." Lin Ling said with a smile.

Qin Keke put down the kettle, snorted and said, "Of course, do whatever you want to do to make yourself happy, this is my principle." ”

Lin Ling still admired Qin Keke's style of acting, and said with a smile: "Everyone can do whatever they like, but there are too many people who are restrained and restricted, such as these flowers, which are packed in flower pots, and when they are willing to open their branches and grow out, they have to worry about being cut." ”

"You're always going around when you talk." Qin Keke poured a glass of water and said, "If you come today to hear my answer, you will be too anxious, I haven't thought of a way to enter the palace to see the prince, you can wait." ”

Lin Ling shook his head and said, "I came today to meet the general's concubine, that is, Qingya. ”

Qin Keke's face immediately changed, and he said coldly: "What did you see her doing?" Do you think she can help you? ”

"I went to Qingya's house yesterday and found that her mother didn't know that she was the concubine of the General's Mansion, so I was very curious and wanted to find out, aren't you curious?" Lin Ling stared at Qin Keke with a smile.

Sure enough, Qin Keke gritted her teeth and slapped the table fiercely: "That little slut, she looks soft and weak on weekdays, but I didn't expect that there is such a set behind her back, she must have some ulterior conspiracy, I want to go to the general to expose her!" ”

"Eh, Coco, don't worry!" Lin Ling hurriedly grabbed Qin Keke, "You ran to tell the general like this, do you think the general will believe it?" Listen to me, let me ask her first, see what she says, and then it's not too late for you to make plans. ”

Qin Keke stared at Lin Ling, and knew in his heart that everything Lin Ling did was also for Long Yuze, so he finally nodded and said, "Call Qingya to come over and say that my guests want to drink the tea she made." ”

"You can hide behind the screen when I ask." Lin Ling pointed to the screen with the mandarin duck pattern and said, "The contradiction between the two of you is known throughout the capital, if you sit here, I don't think she will tell the truth." ”

"Okay, I'm going to see what she's up to." Qin Keke nodded and hid behind the screen.

Seeing Qin Keke cooperate so much, Lin Ling couldn't help but think that if Qin Keke could really be happy with the general, it would be a good marriage. The general is hearty and heroic, and Qin Keke is spicy and straightforward, which is very suitable...... It's just fate. What an ulterior conspiracy, I'm going to expose her in front of the general! ”

"Eh, Coco, don't worry!" Lin Ling hurriedly grabbed Qin Keke, "You ran to tell the general like this, do you think the general will believe it?" Listen to me, let me ask her first, see what she says, and then it's not too late for you to make plans. ”

Qin Keke stared at Lin Ling, and knew in his heart that everything Lin Ling did was also for Long Yuze, so he finally nodded and said, "Call Qingya to come over and say that my guests want to drink the tea she made." ”

"You can hide behind the screen when I ask." Lin Ling pointed to the screen with the mandarin duck pattern and said, "The contradiction between the two of you is known throughout the capital, if you sit here, I don't think she will tell the truth." ”

"Okay, I'm going to see what she's up to." Qin Keke nodded and hid behind the screen.

Seeing Qin Keke cooperate so much, Lin Ling couldn't help but think that if Qin Keke could really be happy with the general, it would be a good marriage. The general is hearty and heroic, and Qin Keke is spicy and straightforward, which is very suitable...... It's just fate.
