At nightfall, Lin Ling and Qin Yiyan returned to the Qin Mansion.

The Qin Mansion was harmonious, quiet as usual, as if nothing had happened.

The old lady didn't go out to greet her, but Qin Keke's face was anxious, and when she saw that Qin Yiyan was fine, she eased her face, beckoned everyone to step forward, and forced Qin Yiyan to sleep on the soft couch, and said with a straight face: "Brother, your injury has been delayed all night, if you move again, be careful of your legs!" ”

Lin Ling also agreed very much, and hurriedly said: "Little Hou Ye, I won't bother you to recuperate, I'll go see Ma Daopo." ”

"Don't go!" Qin Yiyan suddenly shouted, Qin Keke's face became strange, and he was about to say something, but Qin Yiyan pulled Qin Keke and said with a forced smile, "You were frightened last night, and I don't know if the sweat medicine is harmful, you can also go with me to see the doctor!" ”

Lin Ling waved his hand and said, "I can jump and jump, nothing at all." ”

Qin Yiyan closed his eyes and said lightly: "If you want to go, you will go, how can there be so much nonsense?" ”

"Oh." Lin Ling replied listlessly and returned to the Qin Mansion, Qin Yiyan is the little marquis who is high up, she is just a little girl under the fence, what ability can she refute?

When the doctor treated Qin Yiyan's leg injury, Qin Yiyan retreated from everyone, stared at the doctor and said, "No matter what, you have to let her stay with me." ”

The doctor resignedly came down, and when he took Lin Ling's pulse, he said with a solemn face: "The sweat medicine is extremely powerful, and it will cause hallucinations if it remains in the body, so I will prescribe a prescription for the young lady, and it will be fine to drink it." ”

Lin Ling was inexplicable, the effect of the medicine had passed overnight, how could it still have an effect, could it be that what happened between her and Qin Yiyan by the river was an illusion? However, she didn't dare to take what the doctor said, she obediently drank the medicine, and when she was about to go back to Bihe Garden to rest, her brain fell asleep in the room next to Qin Yiyan without obeying the call.

Qin Keke sat on the edge of Qin Yiyan's bed and asked puzzledly, "Brother, what's the matter with you and that Lin Ling?" ”

Qin Yiyan shook his head and said, "She is a good girl, don't bully her in the future." ”

"When did I bully her?" Qin Keke pouted dissatisfiedly, looking at the corners of his brother's mouth, he seemed to understand something.

Bihe Garden, there was silence, only whining and crying.

Ma Xiaoge curled up on the bed, buried his head in the quilt and sobbed softly. The old housekeeper knocked on the door and said outside the door: "The old lady is merciful and has given a coffin to the Taoist woman, and she will be buried immediately, do you want to take a look?" ”

Ma Xiaoge was crying so much that her mother died, but she couldn't set up a mourning hall for her mother, just because the old lady said that she was unlucky.

Xiao Ling didn't know what was going on, and he hasn't come back yet.

She was really scared, she knew that she wouldn't come to the capital, her mother was gone, what would she do in the future?

The more Ma Xiaoge thought about it, the more sad he became, and he ignored the old housekeeper, crying alone.

The old housekeeper sighed and said, "The old lady was going to send someone to send the body of the Taoist woman back to Quanzhou, but the Hou Mansion has not been peaceful recently, and she really can't spare manpower, so she can only be wronged. In the future, the old lady will definitely send the bones of the Taoist woman back to her hometown, miss, don't be sad. Miss Lin also returned home safely, and is now recuperating in Qingfeng Pavilion. ”

Ma Xiaoge still didn't speak, stuffing a pillow in his mouth, for fear of howling.

She hated, the assassin came to assassinate the people of the Hou Mansion, but he put her mother's life into it, so how could she not hate?

When I was tired of crying like this, I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, it was already the middle of the night.

Ma Xiaoge put on her coat and walked towards Qingfeng Pavilion blankly, she was very sad, if Xiao Ling was by her side, maybe she would not be so sad.

There was still candlelight in Qingfeng Pavilion, Ma Xiaoge came quietly, the guards looked at her vigilantly, and she said weakly: "Xiaoling is inside, I came to find her." The guards seemed to know Ma Xiaoge, and when they saw that there were still lights in the courtyard, they let her in.

Ma Xiaoge didn't know which room was Lin Ling's room, so he walked wildly and stopped at the door of the room with candlelight.

This is Qin Yiyan's study, he can't sleep at night, just to find out the murderer behind the sneak attack on the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night. Seeing a person standing at the door, and seeing that the figure seemed to be a woman, he stretched his brows and said, "Come in." ”

Qin Yiyan's clear voice made Ma Xiaoge's heart tremble, she pushed the door in, looked at Qin Yiyan's handsome face, and suddenly burst into tears, she pursed her lips and trembled: "I don't have a mother anymore...... I'm an orphan......"

The memories of his youth came flooding back, Qin Yiyan's heart softened, and the moment he learned that his father had died on the battlefield, his world collapsed, and panic, helplessness, and fear swept through his whole body. And the girl in front of her, is she also suffering like this?

"You...... Don't be sad, although your mother is gone, the Hou Mansion will bless you two sisters. Qin Yiyan said in a soft voice, he knew that Lin Ling was not Ma Daopo's biological daughter, but he had the grace of nurturing Lin Ling, if Lin Ling knew that Ma Daopo had died, I am afraid that he would be very sad, right?

Ma Xiaoge lowered his head, wiped his tears, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, you are a good person, I only have a small request, can you set up a tablet in my room in Bihe Garden, I want my mother to accompany me all the time......"

"I'm afraid this won't work...... Qin Yiyan said embarrassedly, the old lady believes in ghosts and gods, and if you burn sesame oil paper at will in the Hou Mansion, you will be expelled from the mansion, not to mention placing the tablet, he frowned, and immediately said, "If you want to worship the Taoist woman in the future, you can leave the mansion at any time, and no one will stop you." ”

Ma Xiaoge was a little disappointed, but still looked up at Qin Yiyan: "Master Hou, can you tell me who killed my mother?" ”

Qin Yiyan frowned: "It's better that you don't know about a girl's family, I will deal with these things well, and I will give you an explanation." Don't worry, I won't let Ma Daopo die innocently! ”

Ma Xiaoge lowered his eyes gloomily: "Thank you, Master Hou, it's late at night, Master Hou should rest early." ”

Walking out of the study, she tightened her clothes and took a deep breath.

She came to find Lin Ling on purpose, but she found Hou Ye by ghost.

Hou Ye's handsome face and clear voice suddenly imprinted into her mind, and she could no longer linger.

She thought of Xiao Ling, and heard the old housekeeper say that Xiao Ling was in a certain house in Qingfeng Pavilion, and she couldn't figure out the key to it.

The mother died, why can Xiao Ling still rest and recuperate unmoved? Why didn't she come and comfort herself?

Ma Xiaoge suddenly had a feeling of being abandoned by Lin Ling, and his heart was heartbroken, so he sat on the edge of the pond in Bihe Garden and sat all night.
