After waking up, Ling Yi planned to return to Ling Mansion immediately, but Gong Xiru said that there was still something she needed to know, so the group stayed for another half an hour.

On the way back, Zhi Yu still had palpitations, afraid that Ling Yi would think too much, so she didn't dare to ask more questions all the way, not only that, but when Ling Yi was pondering, she interrupted.

The weaving fan also thought of a way to make Ling Yi relax, and proposed: "Miss, when I just left, Gong Sheng told the maidservant that there is a lot of snow on the snow mountain, and many people go skiing, you see that it is not interesting to stay in the house every day, why don't we go to the snow mountain tomorrow?" ”

Ling Yi knew that the two of them wanted to make it easier for her, but Gong Xiru's words kept spinning in her mind.

Zhi Yu saw her worries and said with relief: "The road guard said, let the eldest lady worry less, Zhu Hua was arrested, and he also confessed Gong Chengyan and Princess Haining, now people are on the way to the capital, there is no shadow, when there will be no accident, this time, Gong Chengyan and Princess Haining should be in danger." ”

"You can't jump to conclusions until the last minute." Ling Yi denied: "Gong Chengyan is not a person who sits idly by. ”

"But, hasn't Jin Wei already found out the truth, I heard that the mine has been dug up, dozens of corpses have been buried alive inside, and there are thousands of people in Wu County to testify, the evidence is so ironclad that he can not admit his guilt?" The weaving fan is puzzled.

Ling Yi smiled, "Do you know why I want to help the Zhang family?" ”

"Isn't the eldest lady trying to completely destroy the relationship between the two families of Gong Zhang?"

"That's just one thing, there's another." Ling Yi smiled and said, "As for the second." Wait, and you'll find out soon. ”

After returning to Ling's Mansion, Ling Yi first went to report to Ling Shandao that he was safe.

Although Ling Shandao saw that her face was much better. But he was still worried: "As soon as I heard that you had an accident, I was so scared that my soul went to a few pieces, but fortunately it's okay, you kid, don't care about yourself at all, what to do when you go out on such a cold day, there will be nothing else to do in the future." Don't go out, it's nice to stay in the house.

I consulted with your grandmother and waited for the New Year. I will find you a family and become a family, and your heart will be accepted. ”

Ling Yi was just about to open his mouth, but was interrupted by Ling Shandao: "Don't say anything about not marrying for life." I know you were angry. This matter is just a moment of gossip, not to mention that I see that Changyan's child, who doesn't care about these things at all. Nagahiko is a good boy. ”

In fact, if it weren't for Gong Xiru, Ling Yi's marriage would be really tricky, for so long, the latter's image in the eyes of the people in Beijing has changed again and again, but no matter how it changes, it is not related to virtuous and virtuous, gentle, and virtuous. The appearance of the daughter's family is the most important, even if she looks like a fairy. The elders still pay more attention to whether they are gentle and housekeeping.

Ling Shandao is very optimistic about Gong Xiru, and the child also has a heart for Ling Yi, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Ling Yi's marriage.

"Father really thinks the Gong family is good? Although Hou Ye has nothing to say about his character and appearance, but the head of the Gong family is Gong Chengyan, and Hou Ye has not left the Gong family, and his father thinks that the two Gong Ling families can really form a family without hindrance? Ling Yi said indifferently.

Ling Shandao choked, and was speechless.

He actually didn't ignore this biggest hurdle, but he felt that since the young people had intentions for each other, if they could form a good relationship, then the Gong family and the Ling family would no longer have to be hostile.

Even if the Ling family can't avoid the disaster in the end, Ling Yi is the daughter-in-law of the Gong family, no matter what, Gong Chengyan has to give this face, and he shouldn't be too embarrassed about his daughter-in-law.

Ling Yi sighed slightly, "I know what my father thinks, but Gong Chengyan is vicious, before he gets married, he will definitely stop him in every way, even if I marry into the palace, he will destroy it, in other words, if I marry in the past, I will never have a peaceful life." ”

"But what about Nagahiko—"

"He and I have really known each other for a long time." Ling Yi interrupted.

Ling Shandao was stunned, sighed after a while, and waved his hand helplessly: "That's it, maybe what you said makes sense, I will think about it again, anyway, it's not too late to decide after the New Year." ”

Ling Yi retreated at this time.

After returning to Ruomeng Pavilion, Weaving Fan said regretfully: "The eldest lady really doesn't want to marry the Hou Mansion? Now that Hou Ye has moved out to live, even if he marries and does not meet his father-in-law, there will be no contradictions. ”

Ori Yu pulled her and shook her head to signal her not to ask more.

"Why don't you ask? The eldest lady and the Hou Ye are so compatible, if they miss it like this, then the old man will cry to death. The weaving fan whispered.

"You don't understand, although I don't know why the eldest lady said that, but it's definitely not just because of the relationship between the two Gong Ling families, in the past, the eldest lady treated the relationship with the Hou Ye, although she didn't affirm it, but she never objected, I know that the eldest lady doesn't reject it.

But today is different, don't you see that the eldest lady has obviously rejected? ”

Weaving Fan was stunned, "Why?" Could it be that you are unhappy with Hou Ye? ”

"You and I follow the eldest lady at any time, have you seen the two masters have had an unpleasant relationship? In short, let's not talk too much, the eldest lady must have her own reasons for doing this, no matter what she decides, we are on the side of the eldest lady. ”

The weaving fan was helpless, but he could only put his doubts in his heart.

Knowing that Quanzhi and the others were already on their way back to Beijing, Zou Batian immediately entered the palace, one step ahead of Quanzhi, and told Gong Chengyan and Princess Haining to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the lower officials have been thinking about it for a few days, and there is one thing that has been bothering the lower officials-"

At that time, Emperor Qinglong was not in a good mood, and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it, what to do, I am annoyed to look at it." ”

Zou Batian hurriedly pleaded guilty, and then said: "Xia Guan knows that the emperor has recently hurt his mind in order to open a mine privately, and Xia Guan is here to report this matter to the emperor.

It's just that at that time, Xia Guan didn't expect such a serious matter, but now that he thinks about it, he knows that they are really bold. Your Majesty, this matter is true, if you don't believe it, when the adults come back, you will know, the lower officials dare to guarantee with their lives, and Gong Chengyan will definitely have nothing to do with this matter. ”

Emperor Qinglong's face was shocked, and he exclaimed: "Princess Haining and Gong Chengyan? How could they have something to do with this, Ai Qingmo is not hearsay? ”

"How dare the lower officials talk nonsense." Zou Batian hurriedly said: "When the lower officials first heard about this incident, they didn't believe it, so they didn't report it to the emperor in time, but now that the incident has happened, the lower officials know that it is true."

The emperor, the people of Ningguo are ambitious, although the minister believes that the palace lord is loyal and patriotic, but the princess of Ningguo is good at tricking people's hearts, and the lower officials suspect that he was tricked, so he was used. ”

Emperor Qinglong frowned slightly, and asked Fuquan, "Jin Weike has sent the news back?" ”

Fuquan nodded: "Already on the way back." ”

Emperor Qinglong still trusted Gong Chengyan, he really couldn't believe that the latter would betray him, but if Zou Batian was not sure, how could he say such bold words.

He decided to wait for Jin Wei to come back, after all, Jin Wei was the person he trusted the most.

"I know, you go back first, don't tell anyone else about this matter, I will decide." Emperor Qinglong asked Zou Batian to retreat first.

Zou Batian seemed to have taken off his thoughts, and bowed respectfully and retreated. (To be continued.) )
