Lin Mei and the three sneaked into the bamboo garden, Shu Zhou saw that they both entered the garden, so he vigilantly observed the surrounding situation, and then flashed into the garden and gently closed the small bamboo door, so that he dared to light his lantern.

At this moment, Lin Mei had already found the place where the crickets were screaming the loudest, and was happily pouring water into it, and after a while, she saw a thin and small cricket probing its brain out of the stone pile, but Lin Mei frowned in confusion, "The cry is so loud, and you look so thin?" ”

Qingying stood next to Lin Mei, and looked at the strange-looking insect with some curiosity, and shot quickly, before Lin Mei could see when she stretched out her hand, the thin cricket was held in her hand, and suddenly the loud insect chirping was endless.

"Qingying...... You are so powerful......" Lin Mei saw that Qingying easily caught the cricket, smiled for a while, took out a small bamboo tube from the burden and handed it to Qingying, "Oh, put it in, let's catch a few more, tomorrow to see which one is the most powerful, when the time comes, I will train and train, and the remaining crickets will definitely be powerful." ”

Qingying put the cricket in the palm of her hand into the bamboo tube without saying a word, and then returned the bamboo tube to Lin Mei, and asked, "What kind of cricket is the most powerful?" ”

"Well...... this" Lin Mei stuffed the bamboo tube into the burden on her back and continued to look for the next target, "What about the crickets, first, the sound must be loud, and the fight must be fierce, so as to win the game." ”

"Although the cricket's cry is loud, its body is thin and weak, and it will be defeated immediately when it goes to battle." Lin Mei walked to a pile of bamboo leaves with a clear sound of insects, took out a bamboo skewer and poked it, only to hear the sound of insects immediately became louder, she didn't even care about explaining, only whispered excitedly, "Qingying!" Catch it! ”

Qingying stood behind Lin Mei, and when she heard this, she immediately jumped in front of her, and reached out to grab the little black shadow that was jumping out in the palm of her hand.

Lin Mei carefully caught the cricket in Qingying's palm, and her eyes lit up instantly, "This cricket must be powerful, let's continue to catch a few better ones and go back to rest." ”

Shu Zhou stood aside and saw Lin Mei and the two catching crickets happily, so he had to put his hands on his chest and sighed helplessly, he really didn't dare to imagine what Lin Mei would do if he really became his housewife, then the entire Shu Mansion would not be at peace.

When the three of them returned to their respective rooms to rest that night, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night, and they also brought a body of crickets with the sound of crickets, Lin Mei was annoyed, so she threw a burden of crickets to Shu Zhou, and she pulled Qingying back to the curtain house to rest.

Shu Zhou was holding a lot of crickets in his arms and wanted to cry without tears, now he didn't want to sleep tonight......

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Mei hid alone in the curtain house for breakfast, secretly hid a lot of surplus food and gave it to Shu Wangjin, and by the way, she also gave him a small cricket.

"How boring you are here alone, I caught a lot of crickets with Qingying and Shu Zhou last night, and this one is not in good condition, so I will give it to you."

Shu Wangjin trembled and stretched out his hand to take the small camphor wooden box with bursts of insect chirps, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly invisibly, "Shouldn't I thank Miss Lin for her understanding?" ”

Lin Mei was chewing osmanthus cake in her mouth, and she was still smiling on her face, "Well, it's good to know that I'm empathetic......"

Shu Wangjin sighed secretly, took out a touch of brocade from his sleeve and wiped the remaining pastry crumbs from the corner of his mouth, "Why did you go to catch crickets with Shu Zhou last night?" Look at the green shadow under your eyes, when did you fall asleep last night? ”

"Well...... In the middle of the night, right? Lin Mei touched the bruises under her eyes, frowned and thought for a long time, and then suddenly laughed, "Shu Wangjin, didn't you see Shu Zhou's face, haha...... That's so much uglier than me, he probably didn't sleep all night last night......"

Lin Mei laughed for a long time, and suddenly grabbed Shu Wangjin's hand, and there was a rare trace of guilt on her face, "You...... Yufei said, the reason why you are locked up is because of me? I...... Like, it's really dragging you down all the time. ”

Shu Wangjin was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly, and the whole person was like a spring breeze, "Why does Miss Lin feel guilty?" Next...... Willing. ”

"I'm sorry......" Lin Mei had tears in her eyes, blinked a few times, and finally fell, "When Master Shu lets you out, I will go back to Linshan County with Yufei, and in the future, whether you marry the young lady of the Qian family or marry the daughter of the county lord, I will not hinder you anymore." ”

The smile on Shu Wangjin's face finally froze on his face, and after a while, he sighed lightly and said, "It's good to be ...... like this."

This time it was Lin Mei's turn to be stunned, she just said it casually, and by the way, she just expressed the depression in her heart, how could she think that Shu Wangjin would respond so simply!

"Since Miss Lin has thought about it, let's go to the study." Shu Wangjin glanced at Lin Mei sadly, and then left the main hall and went to the study, leaving Lin Mei alone in the empty room of the main hall, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

This...... That's it?

Lin Mei blinked her sour eyes, sniffed, and suddenly felt that everything that had happened during this period of time was like Nan Ke's dream, and her dream of becoming a rich young grandmother was over?!

"What is this?"

I saw a string of fabric woven by red rope placed next to the table where Shu Wangjin was sitting before, and three beads with a texture like white jade were tied in the middle, each bead had a crack in the shape of a lotus petal, although it was simple and unpretentious, but it was extremely exquisite.

Lin Mei picked up the string of hand beads and looked at it carefully, although she didn't know much, she could still see at a glance that the white jade bead in the middle was engraved with the word "Mei".

Shu Wangjin saw Lin Mei come out of the Academy, and then walked out of the study, the desk was full of gray-brown hard objects and snow-white powder, and a small dagger was resting in the corner, and there was some white dust on the blade.

"Xiao Zihuan ......"

Shu Wangjin opened the note in his palm, there were only three words on it, and he wrote it condensedly, and he continued to open the second note, "Concubine Zhen......"

If this is the case, then Xiao Zihuan's purpose is obvious......

Shu Wangjin burned the two pieces of paper in his hand into the lamp with a cold face, and after seeing them turn into paper ashes and fly, he leaned over and took a pen and wrote a few words on the paper.

"Tell that master, since the Shu family can't retreat with all their bodies in this matter, then they can only advance and retreat with him." Shu Wangjin suddenly opened his mouth, although there was nothing behind him, he knew that someone was waiting behind him.
