Northern Qin is known as the East Ling West Palace, not only because these two families are the largest two families in the capital, but also because of the friendship between the two families for generations, but whenever the Ling family is mentioned, it will remind people of the Gong family, and when it comes to the Gong family, it will be associated with the Ling family.

The relationship between generations of people is not something that can be broken by saying it, and because of this, Ling Shandao has never pointed the spearhead of suspicion at Gong Chengyan.

The two are not only world friends, but also close friends who grew up together.

Ling Shandao's expression was painful, a friend who had believed in it for decades, and suddenly one day someone told you that everything was fake, and that friend was also fake, so who would you talk to about the feelings and grievances you have paid for decades?

After the pain, he was angry, angry, and even more angry with himself, it was his own lack of understanding of people, which led to so much trouble now.

After anger, then there is loss, and then, there is a trace of luck, all this, will it be a misunderstanding?

Ling Yi watched Ling Shandao's expression change, and only after the latter's emotions completely calmed down did he calm down: "I know that it is still very difficult for my father to accept it for a while, after all, the friendship between the two families of Gong Ling is there.

I don't want my father to immediately cut off contact with the Gong family, you just need to know that there have been so many things in the Ling Mansion recently, and they are inseparable from the Gong family. ”

Ling Shandao knew what she meant, after all, there was no evidence now, if Ling Yi hadn't caught those details, he wouldn't have been able to suspect Gong Chengyan.

But he couldn't figure it out a little, the two Gong Ling families have always been good friends. There is no conflict of interest, why would Gong Chengyan target himself like this?

Looking at Ling Yiqing's eyes, Ling Shandao had a feeling. His daughter knew better than she did.

Ling Yi was also thinking about whether to tell her father the truth of the matter.

If she said it explicitly, the latter would have to ask her how she knew, and if she could not give an answer or evidence, could she say that she was born again? It's ridiculous just to think about it.

"Desire—why does the Gong family want to do this?" Ling Shandao really asked.

Ling Yi shook her head. "My father knows better than me, you don't know, how can I know."

In the end, she chose not to talk about it yet. There is no basis for her words, if she says that the Ling family will have a disaster of extermination in two years, I am afraid that Ling Shandao will think that she is crazy.

Ling Shandao felt that Ling Yi's explanation was very reasonable, yes. He didn't even know about it. How could Ling Yi know?

He was puzzled again: "Since the inkstones have been destroyed, where did the inkstones sent to the palace come from?" ”

Ling Yi looked at Fu Zixin with a smile, "This is thanks to him, his ancestors all made inkstones, and he collected a lot of good inkstones, but this time, he gave all his family resources." ”

Fu Zixin smiled: "It's the eldest lady who knows horses." At first, I didn't know that my father had hidden so many good things, and he said that he would use it for his daughter-in-law in the future. After all these years, we didn't have to stay in the slums for so long. ”

Ling Shandao's eyes were puzzled, he recalled the production methods of those inkstones, felt familiar, and heard Fu Zixin say this, guessed that the latter's father deliberately concealed it, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and suddenly asked, "What is Ling Zun's name?" ”

Fu Zixin was stunned, I don't know what he did when he asked this, but he still said: "My father, Fu Yan, is just a poor person. ”

"Fu Yan—really—Fu Yan? Fu Yan with a scar on his left eye? Ling Shandao was a little excited.

Fu Zixin nodded blankly: "Master knows my father?" ”

"It's not just acquaintance-" Ling Shandao had a kind of joy that old friends would not be reunited, but after seeing the confused expressions of the other people in the room, he hurriedly retracted and said with a smile: "Okay, it is not easy for today's matter to be solved satisfactorily, you all rest, Fusheng, let's go home." ”

Obviously hiding words, Ling Yi pouted, he just didn't say it, if he wanted to check it himself, he could find out.

Looking at his father's expression, this Fu Yan must be someone he knows, and he has such superb skills in inkstone manufacturing, maybe he is still a well-known figure back then.

How easy it is to inquire about a celebrity with a name and surname, Lu Xiaotian only spent half a day of effort to inquire about the origin of this Fu Yan.

It turned out that the latter was a famous inkstone tasting master, and later because of an accident, the whole family was kicked out of the capital.

Although the things she heard were like this, Ling Yi felt that things were not so simple, she had met Fu Yan twice, although she didn't know anything, but people looked kind, not like people who would make trouble.

But people are separated from their stomachs, who can be completely sure, they can only wait for the opportunity to understand later.

Although Lu Xiaotian works in Xiaorentang during the day, he will still go back to Ling Mansion at night, and on a fun day like today, he follows Ling Yi even more, so he will inevitably miss some good shows.

After returning home, Lu Xiaotian said: "The one who is not a person or a ghost followed us all the way and was scared away by me." ”

Ling Yi didn't react for a while, who is not a person or a ghost, "No person and no ghost?" ”

"It's the one who followed Princess Haining."

Ling Yi thought for a while, "It seems that Princess Haining has reached a consensus with Gong Chengyan, the two must have been in contact for a long time, and they should be more guarded on weekdays." ”

The weaving feather fan had been following Ling Yi's side, and he hadn't been able to talk much on the way, but now he was finally able to vomit.

Now that the matter is almost solved, what the weaving fan cares about the most is the Zou family, Zou Batian openly complained for the Zou family, the emperor already knows about this matter, if it is okay, but once it is managed, I am afraid it will be greatly beneficial to the Zou family.

"Miss, do we really want to watch my aunt come back?"

Ling Yi fell into deep thought, she didn't expect Zou Batian to have such a hand, but the matter had come to this, and she couldn't think of a solution for a while.

remembered that Emperor Qinglong left his father to say something before leaving, although she didn't know the content of the words, but looking at her father's expression, she could roughly guess that it was nothing more than related to the position of the wife.

Is it really to let the Zou family straighten out?

"What can I find out over there in Xiaorentang?" Ling Yi asked for a smile and said.

Lu Xiaotian shook his head and nodded again: "I haven't found anything for the time being, but I know that there is a secret room in Xiaoren Hall, I tried it, and I can't enter it without a key." ”

"The key is on Zou Jian." Ling Yi affirmed.

"Yes, I see that he often hangs around his neck, and he doesn't even take it off when he sleeps and bathes at night, it's so hateful." Lu Xiaotian said indignantly.

Weaving Fan sneered: "Have you ever been to see it?" ”

Lu Xiaotian raised his neck, "Of course, what I saw, can I get my hands on it?"

I followed him for three days, and I never saw him take it off, and he would open the door on weekdays, but I couldn't get close at all, unless I broke in, but I was afraid that I wouldn't find anything useful, but I would startle the snake. ”

Ling Yi nodded and said: "That's right, this matter can't be rushed, the Zou family has been in Xiaorentang for a few years, even if there is any dirty deed, it will not be so easy for people to find out, I am afraid that if they detect it and destroy the originally important things, it will be worth the loss." ”

Zhi Yu talked about the matter over there in the Eight Sound Country again, "Liang Kai sent a letter at noon, the Eight Sound Country can avoid danger this time, and a few elders honestly feel that it is a thing worth celebrating, saying that they have set a seat in Lang Ting Xuan, so that you will definitely go tomorrow." ”

When she wanted to show up for dinner, she knew that Ling Yi was inconvenient, and said, "Do you want the maid to find an excuse to push it?" ”

Ling Yi shook his head: "No, tomorrow will be the same, let Liangqi go with him." ”

Zhiyu said yes, and immediately sent a small servant to send a message to Luoxia Garden.

*

The ghost slave had been following behind the Ling family's carriage and followed him to Moguan, but he didn't hear anything useful, because someone appeared halfway, which made him instinctively have a sense of crisis, and he was even more afraid of revealing himself, so he immediately retreated.

was going to inquire about some useful comments to Princess Haining, but in the end, he didn't hear anything, so he had to find some excuses.

"They only went to Moguan and didn't say anything important."

Princess Haining was suspicious, "You really didn't hear anything?" ”

The ghost slave nodded affirmatively.

Princess Haining originally planned to inquire about something useful and send it to Gong Chengyan, but now it seems that she can only slow down first, and then asks, "Gong Xiru went back to the house directly?" ”

The ghost slave nodded affirmatively: "The carriage went back to the palace directly, and it didn't stop halfway." ”

Princess Haining felt a little more at ease, her goal was still on Gong Xiru, but that Ling Yi was a stumbling block between her and the latter.

Although the two of them seemed to be nothing, her woman's sixth sense showed that the two were dangerous.

*

On the second day, Ling Yi went out from the back door of Ling's mansion in an inconspicuous carriage, and walked around the street several times before finally going to Luoxia Garden.

Worried that Man Jiangyan would send someone to keep an eye on her at any time, she deliberately asked Lu Xiaotian to inspect it first, and made sure that there was no one around to monitor her, so she let the carriage enter Luoxia Garden with confidence.

Because the carriage was not hung with the flag of the Ling Mansion, it looked like it was just an ordinary carriage, and no one doubted it.

Changing into Tsuji Niang's outfit in Luoxia Garden, Ling Yi waited until it was almost noon before letting Liang Kai drive to Lang Tingxuan.

When Ling Yi arrived, there was only Gong Xiru alone, and when there was no one else, she took off her veil and talked and chatted with Gong Xiru.

It wasn't until the other four elders had arrived that she put on the veil again, changing from a young girl Ling Yi to a widow Tsuji Niang.

When Mr. Guo entered the door, he saw that there was an extra screen in the house, and he was a little puzzled.

Ling Yifuli explained: "The surviving person has a special identity, so he can only put a screen here, and ask Elder Guo not to blame him." ”

Mr. Guo thought for a while, "Well, it's okay, if it's inconvenient for you, then you can sit behind the screen." ”

The others had no objection, so two tables were set up in the room, one for the other five people, and one for Ling Yi's special use.

The back of the screen was against the wall, if he didn't walk in from the front, he couldn't see inside, Ling Yi was very relieved, and simply took off the veil.

She has a lot of worries these days, and she has no appetite for eating, and now she has put down everything, just like giving herself a small vacation, a rare relaxation and comfort, while eating with relish, while listening to the talk of a few people outside. (To be continued......)
