Chapter 117: The General's Concubine

Qingya was dressed in a small blue-green jacket, with a turquoise hairpin on her head, and walked in with low eyebrows.

Lin Ling pointed to the tea leaves in his hand and said, "Your wife has something to do for the time being, come back immediately, you come over to make tea first." ”

"Yes." Qingya responded respectfully, lowered his head to make tea, skillful in his skills, and was an expert at a glance.

From beginning to end, this green sprout didn't raise his eyes to see who Lin Ling was, I don't know if he wasn't curious about who he was at all, or if he was trained very well. Soon, she completed the task of making tea, then held the celadon teacup and handed it to Lin Ling, bowed her head and said softly, "Please drink tea." ”

"It's a pity that such a good girl is a concubine for the general." Lin Ling took a sip of tea, the fragrance of tea was overflowing, the tea was high-quality, and the craftsmanship of the tea maker was also high-quality, even she, a person who didn't know how to taste tea, tasted good.

Listening to Lin Ling's words, Qingya was obviously stunned, but she still didn't raise her head, and said softly: "It's because of the general's generosity and generosity that the concubine has a place to live in this general's mansion." As for what you said about 'pity', Qingya didn't understand. ”

Lin Ling put down the celadon teacup, walked in front of Qing Ya, stretched out his index finger and lifted Qing Ya's chin. This is a delicate and petite woman, and her face can only be regarded as delicate, but her not outstanding appearance has a determined look of not admitting defeat, even in the face of Lin Ling's unkind eyes, she still has no fear.

Similarly, Qingya also looked at Lin Ling, a woman about the same age as her, with long hair shawl and no bun, that was a girl. Since it is a friend invited by Madame, it must be that the person who came is not good, and as soon as she speaks, she is full of provocations, and it seems that it is difficult for her to get out of it today. But Qingya didn't flinch, this is the General's Mansion, even if it's a friend of Madame, so what? The general will go down to the court and return home soon, who dares to touch her hair in front of the general?

Seeing Qingya's increasingly fearless look, Lin Ling suddenly laughed: "There is a general who is favored, he is so confident." ”

"This girl, if nothing happens, Qingya will retreat." Qingya said lightly, not denying Lin Ling's words.

Lin Ling let go of Qingya's chin and said with a smile: "You are so confident in the General's Mansion, and you frequently oppose the General's wife, everyone in the capital knows it." But, Qingya, does your mother know? Now that you have the favor of a general, you can say that you have what you want, why do your mothers still live in a dilapidated house? ”

"You, who are you? How would you know? Qingya's face turned white and said in disbelief.

Lin Ling felt a little proud in his heart, turned around and sat on the chair, and said with a smile: "I just saw you enter an alley when I was wandering on the street one day, and then I followed you curiously, and after you left, I entered your house even more curiously and chatted with your mother for a while." ”

"What did my mother tell you?" Qingya bit her lip and stared at Lin Ling.

"She's busy telling you about family affairs, saying that you were ashamed of you when you were young, and now she wants to tell you a good family affair to compensate you." Lin Ling said slowly, looking at Qingya's expression, seeing that her face was getting colder and colder, he couldn't help but become more curious, and continued, "I saw that your mother's life seemed to be quite difficult, so I gave her a little silver. ”

Qingya suddenly sneered: "Her life is difficult? How could her life be difficult? I was a slave and a maid in the General's Mansion from two taels of silver per month to two taels of silver per month, which little bit was not brought back? But my mother is still willing to live in a dilapidated house and eat a lot of food, and the silver does not fall into my brother's pocket, either into the hands of the top card of the Qinglou, or into the casino, how can I send the silver back......"

She said so angrily that she forgot even what she claimed, and her expression was condensed and sad.

"Qingya, no matter what you say, she is also your mother, you have become a concubine in the General's Mansion, you have to tell her no matter what, right?" Lin Ling didn't expect that a few words from his own would make Qingya open the conversation, and continued, "Your mother has gray hair in her forties in order to pull you and your brother to grow up, what should she not do, you don't need to take it to heart." ”

"Her hair is not for us to be like this!" Qingya bit her lip, and when she was about to continue, the moment she raised her head, she met Lin Ling's inquiring eyes, and immediately lowered her head, stopped talking, and kept wringing the handkerchief in her hand.

Lin Ling smiled, knowing that today's conversation was over, and waved his hand to let Qingya retreat.

Qin Keke immediately jumped out from behind the screen and said coldly: "This little slut, there is really something unspeakable!" ”

Lin Ling also nodded, if it was just because she hated the old woman and sold her to the general's mansion as a slave, it wouldn't be like this. Even if she was angry with her brother's dissoluteness and ignorance, and the old woman's tolerance, she would not even hide her life's affairs from the family. Lin Ling was puzzled, thinking back to what Qingya said, he always felt that he should have missed some important information.

"Where's that little slut's home? You tell me I'm going to take her old lady to the general right now! Qin Keke crossed his waist and said, "This time, I will definitely not let her go!" ”

Lin Ling hurriedly grabbed Qin Keke and said, "Didn't you see that she didn't finish what she had just said?" You be patient, I'll send someone to inquire again, what about you, just wait for the news in the General's Mansion, don't worry, as long as there is news, I will tell you. ”

"Really? Won't lie to me? Qin Keke stared at Lin Ling.

After Lin Ling's repeated assurances, Qin Keke agreed to hold his troops first.

Back to Tingyuxuan, Lin Ling immediately began to plan.

After being frightened by Lin Ling's words, Qingya realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, and when it was a little later, he hurriedly changed his clothes and hurriedly walked out of the general's mansion and ran towards the alley of his house.

When I was about to get home, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if I was ...... It's too quiet.

When she reached the door, she was about to knock on it, when the door suddenly opened, and a dark figure suddenly came out, reached out and covered her mouth, and dragged her in.

As soon as she entered, she was gagged by a strip of cloth, and there were seven or eight black-clothed people in the room, and her mother was also tied with ropes, and her mouth was gagged and she fell to the ground. She was in a hurry, and hurriedly crawled over there, but she couldn't move, only made a "whine" sound.

The man in black in the lead squatted down, lowered his voice and said, "Listen, your old lady is now in our hands, whatever we say, you have to do something, otherwise, hum...... Your mother's life can't be saved! ”

Qingya's eyes widened in horror and nodded.

"It is said that the wind on the pillow is very strong, and you talk about the merits of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the general's ear every day, so that the general can help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeed to the throne smoothly." The man in black said coldly, "Remember, if we find out that you told the general about this, then ...... In the same way, you will never see your wife again! ”

Qingya nodded in unison, and the man in black happily let her out.

Back to Tingyuxuan, Lin Ling happily gave a thumbs up to the ghost: "I didn't expect you to pretend to be quite like that." ”

Ah Xin didn't care about making fun of the ghost, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, shouldn't we threaten that woman to help the prince, why did we help the prince instead?" If the general really speaks for the prince in the court, won't we fall short? ”

Lin Ling stretched out his hand and patted Ashin's head and said, "When will you become smarter?" A few more turns to figure it out. ”

"If the subordinates guessed correctly, the princess should have planned it this way." "Qingya is just a weak woman, and it is not enough to persuade the general to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But if the news of Qingya's mother being kidnapped by the prince reaches the general's ears, the general will inevitably be furious, and when the general begins to be dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the prince, he can be successfully wooed. ”

"It's still ghostly and smart!" Lin Ling hated that iron could not be made of steel, and looked at Ashin.

Ashin scratched his head and said, "I only know how to finish what Miss has explained, where do I think so much?" ”

Ashin's words made a certain emotion rise from Lin Ling's chest. The reason why Ghost Li can analyze it so clearly is because he is from Long Yuze's point of view, and he is now appearing in Tingyuxuan, also in order to be able to rescue Long Yuze more smoothly. As for Ashin, he always stands by her side, and she is the first person to think about when thinking about problems and doing things, so it is normal for him to not see through the whole thing. If it's to save her, then Ashin must be able to see it better than anyone else, right?

Ashin, Ashin...... Lin Ling looked at Ashin and sighed helplessly.

What should she do with him?

He didn't want to marry him and start a family.

Do you want him to be her bodyguard for the rest of her life? She couldn't.

Qingya returned to the General's Mansion, still with lingering palpitations, locked herself in her room, and didn't even eat dinner.

The girls were afraid that something would happen, so they hurriedly called the general over.

"Qingya'er, what's wrong?" The general's voice was infinitely gentle, and the fear in Qingya's heart was melted away a lot, she bit her lip and threw herself into the general's arms, not saying anything, but she was entangled in her heart what to do?

Do you tell the general everything that happened, or do it according to the man in black?

The general hugged Qingya and said gently: "If there is anything, just say it, and I will solve it for you." Could it be that Qin Keke, that woman is in trouble with you again? Qingya'er, don't be afraid of her, one day, I will divorce her. ”

"No, General, Madame didn't embarrass me." Qingya said with difficulty, "It's because I have a stomachache today, so I don't want to go out, it's all because the girls are making a fuss, and it also alarmed you, the general, the general doesn't have to worry, just go and get busy with whatever you should do." ”

The general stretched out his hand to cover Qingya's stomach and said, "Does it still hurt?" Is it here? Or is it here? ”

Qingya's stomach didn't hurt in the first place, but when she was touched by the general, she laughed out loud: "General, it doesn't hurt...... It's so itchy......"

The general also laughed heartily and hugged Qingya and leaned over.

After some clouds and rain, the general hugged Qingya with satisfaction, licked her earlobe and said, "It would be nice if I would sleep with you for the rest of my life." ”

Qingya pursed her lips and smiled, but she had something in her heart, and said tentatively: "General, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now concentrating on studying, and the civil and military officials are very appreciative, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne soon." ”

The general scratched Qingya's nose and said, "What do you know about this little girl, just be a general's woman!" ”

Qingya smiled reluctantly, and her heart jumped thumping, since she opened this mouth, she couldn't stop.

In the next few days, Qingya would always mention the prince or the queen when the general came to her house, and the general continued to do political affairs every day, and he went to Qingya to find purity, but he didn't expect that the ears were still those things he heard in the court, so he gradually became impatient.

On this day, during the meal, Qin Keke was in a particularly good mood, and she didn't let Qingya come to give her vegetables, and sat opposite the two generals. She smiled and gave the general a chopstick of fish meat, and said with a smile: "This is delicious, the general will taste it." ”

The general glanced at Qin Keke suspiciously, and put the piece of fish meat into the plate at hand.

Qin Keke didn't care, and said with a smile: "General, the reason why I want you to dine with me today is because I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter? Hurry up, I'll have something to do later. The general's face was full of impatience.

Qin Keke's smile froze, and he held back his anger and continued to laugh: "It's about Qingya, I left after the general went to her for less than an hour in the past few days, thinking of the concubine between the general and Qingya Lang in the past, I don't envy it." Now that I saw that you were estranged, I was also a little worried, so I sent someone to ask, only to know that Qingya always mentioned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother when the general was happy......" Seeing the general raising his eyebrows and looking at him, Qin Keke continued, "Does the general want to know the reason for this?" ”

The general snorted coldly: "It's not once or twice that you have arranged Qingya, do you think I will believe you?" ”

"Believe it or not, the general himself has the final say, but I think I should tell you what I know." Qin Keke put down his chopsticks and said slowly, "Yesterday I went out of the General's Mansion to wander around, and I saw Qingya enter a small alley, out of curiosity, I followed in, but I didn't expect that she actually had a relationship with a man in black." When I got a little closer, I heard them saying something like 'Prince' and 'Queen Mother'......"

"That's nonsense!" The general slammed the table.

"Where am I talking nonsense?" Qin Keke also stood up angrily, "Believe it or not!" Everyone in the General's Mansion knew that Qingya's father and mother had died a long time ago, but I saw her call an old woman 'mother' with my own eyes! General, you are smart in vain, and for a while, that woman named Qingya has been lying to you! ”

"Shut up!" The general raised his hand and almost slapped it down, but he still had some scruples and left coldly.

Looking at the back of the general leaving in a hurry, Qin Keke smiled coldly, she didn't believe that the general would not have the slightest suspicion in his heart.

Yesterday, Lin Ling sent someone to the General's Mansion to tell her everything, and by doing so, she could not only win over the general smoothly, but also hit that! Whatever the reason for that, she deceived the general! The general likes her, so he shouldn't be able to stand deception, right?

Sure enough, although the general didn't believe it, he was also vigilant and sent someone to keep an eye on Qingya.

Lin Ling knew that the heat was almost over, so he chose the time at night and made an appointment with Qingya in the woods on the outskirts of Beijing. At night, a layer of fog rises in the woods, and it is difficult for the moonlight to shine through, so it will be difficult to see each other clearly, and this is what you want.

"Please let my mother go, I have listened to your words to persuade the general, but the general doesn't listen to me, and I can't do anything." Qingya shouted at the empty woods, wanting to cry without tears, these days, she was about to be tortured and crazy.

Ghost Li lowered his voice and said: "I can't do this little thing, what to do with your mother's life!" ”

Just when Qingya was desperate, the general suddenly fell from the sky, protected Qingya behind him, and said coldly: "Who sent you?" Ming people don't say dark words, there is a kind of standing up! ”

"Okay, you untrustworthy woman, since you told the general about this, then there is no need for us to cooperate, and we will take your mother away for the time being!" Onili said coldly, standing on tiptoe and quickly leaving the grove.

Qingya's legs weakened and fell into the general's arms.

"What the hell is going on? What are you hiding from me? The general hugged Qingya, and his tone was no longer gentle.

Qingya trembled and grabbed the clothes in front of the general's chest and said, "General...... They are the people of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... They arrested my mother. They want to kill my mother, beg the general to save my mother......"

The general looked at Qingya coldly: "Three years ago, you told me that your mother passed away, saying that you were the only one in your family, and now, where did you have a mother?" ”

Qingya came back to his senses, stared at the general's condensed eyes, and lowered his head in panic.

Three years ago, when she was most desperate, her mother wanted to marry her to an old man with a leg disease, and pay off her brother's gambling debts for that dowry. She lost her soul and happened to be bumped into by the general, so she lied that her only mother had passed away. She has always taken care of the general, and she has long been in love with the general, but she has never pierced that layer of paper, that night, she cried into tears, and she also made a private relationship with the general.

So much so that this lie can no longer be broken.

Moreover, her mother would not agree to her marrying the general as a concubine, so she simply hid it.

Besides, why her mother's hair was gray, she remembered it clearly. When she was young, her father was still there, that year, her father accepted a concubine, and her mother cried, made trouble and hanged herself against this matter, but it was still invalid, and her father insisted on marrying the concubine, and finally was forced by her mother to have no choice, so she eloped with the concubine and stayed away from her hometown.

So, the mother turned white overnight.

My mother said that the person she hated the most in her life was a woman who was a concubine.

And now she is the general's concubine, how can her mother tolerate it?

Qingya didn't dare to look into the general's eyes anymore, clenching his hands tightly, not knowing how to explain all this.
