After listening to Liu County's words, Shu Zhou opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to turn the topic back and ask, "Lord Liu, I wonder if Mrs. Zhou is still in Linshan County now?" ”

As soon as he talked about this, Liu Xianling said with a look of hatred, "I'm also angry when I talk about this!" That Lin Mei's temperament was really a monkey in her previous life, and she didn't have a day of peace! My family Yufei had malaria, and the people in the county thought that Yufei had infected them, so they forced me to hand over Yufei to them, but it was my own daughter, how could I bear it so much! At that time, I thought that Lin Mei was leaving with Yufei, but when I found out, the two of them were gone, and at the same time, there was also Lin Shi, the young lady of the Tang family, and all this, except for Lin Mei, who was like a monkey, who else would do such a thing? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xianling couldn't help but sigh heavily, his drooping face was full of ravines and wrinkles, this middle-aged man who was not yet forty years old had an old face on his face, how could he have a little bit of his previous spirit?

"It's been three or four days now, not only haven't I seen Lin Mei, but even my Yufei is gone, alas......"

Liu Xianling glanced at Shu Zhou, and his old face was full of helplessness.

Shu Zhou was silent, he had always thought that these officials were some insidious and cunning people, especially those so-called important ministers of the imperial court, if they didn't have scheming and the city government, how could they be so stable in a position for so many years? However, Liu County's order is obviously different from them......

First of all, Liu Xianling was born as a champion at the beginning, and he was also a nouveau riche in the capital. It's just that later, for some reason, he was demoted by His Majesty to a small county town with no name, and if it was someone else, it would be regarded as a county magistrate for three or four years. There will always be promotions in the future, only Liu County Commander, who has been a county magistrate for more than 20 years, and has also won a lot of meritorious services during this period, but for some reason it is still a small seven-grade county magistrate.

"Lord Liu, presumably my young master will take Miss Lin back to Linshan County soon, if there is any problem with the adults. It's okay to ask Miss Lin. Shu Zhou's face was sincere, if Shu Wangjin didn't come back with Lin Mei later, I was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed!

Liu Xianling nodded. He hung his head sadly, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the other side, Shu Wangjin led Lin Mei to the place where he placed the horses, but found that Wang Huiyuan was also waiting there. I also guessed in my heart that Lin Mei should have placed her here. I just don't know why Lin Mei is so sure that this must be his horse?

Lin Mei saw Shu Wangjin glancing at Wang Huiyuan and then at herself, smiled awkwardly, and whispered, "There is a 'Shu' word under the saddle of that horse, I guessed that it should be your horse...... Right? ”

Shu Wangjin saw Lin Mei's look of wanting to say but not daring to say anything, she shook her head and smiled slightly, she hadn't seen her for about ten days. But it was as if the two of them had already met again in another lifetime.

"It's indeed my horse, just. Miss Lin, there are not three people on this horse. Shu Wangjin hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, her face full of banter.

"This ......" Lin Mei's face was full of embarrassment, and she glanced at Wang Huiyuan, who was sitting not far away and looking around in a panic, nervous, her heart was full of unbearable, and she pleaded slightly in Shu Wangjin's tone, "It's better to ...... She rides a horse, and I walk with you? ”

Shu Wangjin couldn't help but want to laugh when she looked at Lin Mei like this, smiled lightly, and said in a harmonious voice, "In this way, it's not impossible to ......."

"So be it!" Lin Mei has never accepted it when she sees it, but when she saw Shu Wangjin agree, she immediately smiled.

"But...... It's a long way to Jinju City, so let's ride a horse with Miss Wang, since Miss Lin still has such good energy, let's lead the horse below! Shu Wangjin said with a smile on his face, his face full of sincere smiles.

“……”

Lin Mei stiffened her face and tried to smile back at Shu Wangjin, gritted her teeth and said, "You walk!" I rode with Wang Huiyuan! "Hmph, I want to hook up with Wang Huiyuan in front of me, don't think about it!

Shu Wangjin stood behind Lin Mei and looked at her "vibrant" back, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

On the other hand, Mrs. Lin was sleeping soundly in the inn that night, and she didn't know that her daughter had been knocked unconscious by others.

The shopkeeper and a masked man whispered outside the house, "Although the charm of this person inside is still there, but he is also old, even if he sells it, he can be a mother at this age, who will pay for her?" ”

"That's not going to work! When she saw me, if she woke up tomorrow morning and found that her daughter was gone, she would definitely make a fuss! ”

Another masked man said, "So what do you want?" ”

"She must be solved, otherwise it will not be good to attract officers and soldiers......" The shopkeeper looked hideous, and sneered as he spoke, "It's also to blame their mother and daughter for being unlucky, but they met our ......"

"Xiao Wu, if you want to do it, it's better to go far, I don't want to see any bloody scenes." The masked man looked into the upper room and lowered his voice.

The shopkeeper answered, and quietly pushed open the door that Lin Mei had not closed since she left.

When Mrs. Lin woke up, it was already three poles of the sun, but the surrounding environment was quite unfamiliar, and it was not the humble inn she stayed in last night.

Before she could react, she was in a daze, but she heard someone next to the bed calling her name, she originally thought it was Lin Mei, and responded vaguely, but found that the voice was too soft and sweet, and Lin Mei's voice was really far from it.

"Hmm......" Mrs. Lin muttered a few times and slowly opened her eyes.

"Madame...... Madam? A woman's soft and sweet voice kept calling her, and when she opened her eyes, her voice suddenly became happy.

When Mrs. Lin heard this sensitive word, she immediately opened her eyes, and what caught her eye was a delicate girl with a bun, wearing a light pink skirt, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Madame, you have finally woken up, and the lord has been waiting outside for a long time, saying that if you are not awake. He doesn't go to rest either! The girl's voice was crisp and bright, and when she smiled, her eyes became crescent-shaped, although she had a different temperament from Lin Mei. But from a distance, the appearance of the two is very similar, if you are not familiar with the two of them, I am afraid that you will think that the two of them are sisters!

Mrs. Lin was frightened all of a sudden, took a few breaths, looked at the girl in a cold sweat, and was speechless for a long time.

"You...... You are?! Mrs. Lin hesitated for a long time. He asked.

"Madame...... It's really Yan Xi's sin to have you frightened......" The woman's face was slightly remorseful, but she laughed again at once. The voice was crisp, "Madam, the slave family is Yan Ji, the righteous daughter adopted by Lord Zhou Chen. ”

Zhou Chen......

Mrs. Lin's body shook suddenly. The whole person trembled. The voice also choked, "Zhou Chen...... What you said, but Zhou Chen, the marquis of Anyuan Houfu?! ”

"Madam, it's Marquis Zhou...... Also, my father-in-law, your husband! When Yan Ji said this, her eyes also turned red, obviously sincere. Although it was only the first time I met Mrs. Lin, I was here with her. But it just gives people the feeling that she and Mrs. Lin are biological mothers and daughters.

Mrs. Lin choked for a long time, and finally calmed down, and the water in her eyes immediately turned cold, as if the excited person just now was not herself.

"Where's my daughter Lin Mei?"

As soon as Mrs. Lin finished asking this sentence, she saw that the carved and chiseled wooden door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous costume and slightly fat broke in.

"Wanrong!" As soon as the middle-aged man saw Mrs. Lin, he couldn't help but redden, his throat choked, and he almost didn't shed tears on the spot.

"Father-in-law, stepmother has been found, you should be happy at this time, how can you cry?" That Zhou Yan was very good at talking, and after a few words, Zhou Chen withdrew his tears and said with a smile, "What Xi'er said is that when this kind of joy is made, if you are sad, it is indeed very beautiful......

The two sang and harmonized here, but they didn't notice Mrs. Lin's indifferent face.

"Marquis Zhou, can the woman leave? Also, before leaving, the woman wanted to ask Marquis Zhou a question, that is...... I wonder if Marquis Zhou has seen my daughter Lin Mei? Mrs. Lin's face was indifferent, and her tone was extremely cold, as if she didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Chen at all.

"Lin Mei? Our daughter...... The name should be called Zhou Yanwan? Marquis Zhou frowned, unable to understand the meaning of Mrs. Lin's words.

Mrs. Lin's whole body was cold, she sighed softly, and when she raised her head, her eyes were full of disappointment when she raised her head, and she said softly, "Master Zhou, the fate of the two of us has been dispersed as early as seventeen years ago...... Now I'm just a matchmaker who helps people talk to matchmakers, you can call me...... Mrs. Lin. ”

Marquis Zhou was stunned for a moment, which was completely different from the gentle and virtuous Zhao Wanrong, the eldest lady of the Zhao family in his memory.

"Marquis Zhou, if you don't see my daughter, then the woman will retire first......" After that, Mrs. Lin really wanted to get up from the embroidered couch, but after finding that she was only wearing obscene clothes, she was even more embarrassed and angry, and shouted angrily, "Marquis Zhou, what about those clothes of the people's women?" ”

Before Zhou Hou Ye could speak, Zhou Yanxi was upset with his father-in-law, and accused, "Miss Zhao, I respect you as my father-in-law's wife, do you know how much effort my father-in-law has put into finding you for so many years?" What's more, there is still the oppression of His Majesty the Emperor above, and you yourself have to bear the trouble you caused back then, but your father-in-law will help you bear it...... In the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, there were many complaints, if it weren't for you back then, I was afraid that the prosperity of the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion would be even better than back then! ”

But the more she listened, the calmer she became, and in the end, she sneered and said, "Do you really think I don't know about the good things your stepfather has done over the years?!" Why don't I want to go back to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, Zhou Chen, do you really have a clear conscience?! ”

Zhou Yanji was choked and didn't know what to say.

Marquis Zhou blushed anxiously, busy trying to explain his innocence, "Wanrong, things are not what you think...... I have indeed received a lot of concubines over the years, but they are all stuffed from above, and the elders dare not resign, not to mention the ladies from His Majesty? You are the upright lady of my Anyuan Marquis Mansion, this is naturally no one can shake your status, those people, I am just playing on the spot......"

Mrs. Lin didn't want to listen to his explanation, so she said in a cold voice, "Zhou Chen, in front of Mei'er, I also saved a little face for you, don't let me hate you after you are very good!" ”

Zhou Chen couldn't help but look at Mrs. Lin in a daze when she heard this, if the "Mei'er" in her mouth was his daughter, then it should be "Zhou Yanwan", the backyard of the Marquis of Anyuan has always been an heir for more than ten years, but they are all male babies, the old marquis and the old lady Later, they even lost interest when they heard that the boy was born, and only thought about when they could have a baby granddaughter, so the "Zhou Yanwan" who had been missing for seventeen years naturally became the object of the two old people's thoughts.

And Zhou Yanxi is just an adopted daughter, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou have not had a good impression of Zhou Yanxi since they were children, just because she is not the blood of the Zhou family, and she is not even as good as a concubine, plus Zhou Chen can't find a wife and daughter, so he loves her very much, which makes the old lady Zhou and the old lady Zhou very unaccustomed to Zhou Yanxi's pretentious pie.

Therefore, Zhou Yanji only won a favor in front of the Zhou family, and in the other elders of the Zhou family, he couldn't even get a straight eye.

"You're talking about Mei'er, but ...... Yan Wan? Hou Ye Zhou didn't care about the coldness in Mrs. Lin's tone at all, he only noticed the "Mei'er" mentioned in her mouth, and her tone gradually became excited.

Mrs. Lin's face turned pale all of a sudden, without half a bit of blood, she pursed her lips and said toughly, "That's also my birth, what do you have to do with it!" ”

"But she is the blood of my Zhou family!" Zhou Houye became excited as he spoke, and said with spit flying in his mouth, while unconsciously turning in a circle, muttering to himself, "I have a daughter...... My own daughter is still alive......"

When Mrs. Lin heard Zhou Houye's words, her heart was sour, and she almost burst into tears, but in the end, she still held back, looked at Zhou Houye coldly, and swept away his interest, "I told Mei'er a long time ago that her father has died, and he has been dead for more than ten years, and you have disappeared for so long, so why bother to disturb our mother and daughter Qingping now!" ”

"Wanrong...... Wan'er is my daughter, so naturally I want to take her back to the Hou Mansion! She is the only eldest lady in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, how can she marry so easily? Tell me, who is the man with whom she is betrothed? No...... It's better to quit the marriage quickly, there are so many famous sons in the capital, which one is not better than this kind of small shirt? Speaking of the back, Marquis Zhou talked to himself alone, not caring about the feelings of the two people around him when they heard this. (To be continued.) )
