The purpose of Bai Xian's stay for another day was to take a look at the back garden of the Lin Mansion, the people in the Lin Mansion did not know, but Bai Xian left smoothly without much trouble, at least the people in Lin Yuan's room were relieved.

But this breath didn't last long, and Lin Guangcheng received a note that made his face change greatly. He didn't even have time to explain anything to Lin Yuan and the Ye family, so he hurriedly walked out.

Lin Yuan and Ye looked at each other, their eyes full of worry.

"We'll talk about the old lady later." Lin Yuan thought for a while and said to the Ye family, "Let's see what happened to my father first." ”

Ye Shi looked at the gate of the courtyard, nodded and muttered, "It's really eventful." ”

Lin Yuan waited until lunch and saw no trace of Lin Guangcheng, and the other party didn't even send someone back to say a word.

"Your father comes back every day to eat, and even if he has something to socialize, he will come back to let him know, and he won't say anything today." Ye couldn't help but chatter.

Lin Yuan knew that this was actually Ye's expression of her worries, so she patiently comforted, "Xu is really busy with important things, don't worry, wife, my father has always been able to do nothing." ”

That being said, the mother and daughter still ate as if they were chewing wax.

After finishing the meal, Lin Yuan excused herself to take a nap and go back.

"Mama Qiao, help me find out what's going on." Lin Yuan lost his previous composure in front of the Ye family, and found Qiao Yihuan with a panicked face.

Qiao Yihuan was surprised at first, and then frowned after listening to Lin Yuan's narration.

"I'll go." She dropped a word and walked out.

Lin Yuan was still not at ease, and instructed San'er, "You go to the outer courtyard to have a look, regardless of whether the old lady or the old man is there, come back to me immediately, if you are not there, you will work hard and wait in the old lady's study." ”

San'er nodded immediately without hesitation.

The departure of Qiao Yihuan and San'er did not make Lin Yuan feel much more at ease, she walked back and forth in the house.

Xianglan persuaded, "Maybe it's just a business matter, don't worry too much, Miss." ”

Lin Yuan shook his head, and said in a somewhat bad tone because of anxiety, "It's definitely not a trivial matter, otherwise my father wouldn't have confessed a word, and besides, do you think that 10,000 taels of silver will really be sent away?" ”

Otherwise, what does that jade pendant and Bai Xian mean when she asks her? Just a warning? That's too petty, but behind Bai Xian is today! And what is the Lin family? It's just a wealthy merchant! If the Son of Heaven is not used to it, he can raze the Lin Mansion with an order, and he will only use a jade pendant to warn with some words? Isn't this the case with Shen Wansan in his previous life, no matter how rich he is? There is no match for the imperial power!

She can't deceive herself anymore, Ji Zongyu is the one who wants to withdraw for her, and this matter must be well known today, and although she has not made it clear that she is against it, her ambiguous attitude obviously does not agree.

It's not that she's worried about the sky, because as far as she knows, Ji Zongyu is very jealous of the Son of Heaven, and she doesn't know why, but she knows that if she has a relationship with Ji Zongyu, she will be hated by the Son of Heaven! So it is very likely that the so-called punishment is not the 10,000 taels on the surface at all, and there will be more cruel punishments later.

Xianglan was stunned by Lin Yuan's rhetorical question, and was a little aggrieved, but when she saw Lin Yuan's ugly face, she immediately suppressed it, thought about it and proposed, "Miss, if there has been no news from the master, do you want to go to Liufu to ask?" ”

Lin Yuan was stunned, it stands to reason that Liu Bai is the prefect, and he is in charge of the decree of the first government, if there is really any turmoil in the Lin Mansion, the Liu Mansion should get the news soon.

But......

"Wait a little longer, if it gets dark and there is no news from the master, go to Liufu and ask." She hesitated.

At the beginning of Shen Shichu, Qiao Yihuan and San'er had not come back, and Qu'er even came to visit.

"Miss, Mrs. asked the slave maid to ask, do you have any news from the master."

Lin Yuan deliberately smiled and replied, "I don't know, but before my wife entered the door, my father rarely came back for lunch, and it is estimated that he will come back in the evening. ”

When Qu'er heard this, her face was relaxed, "It turns out that the master didn't come back for lunch before, so the slave and maid will go back to talk to the wife, and it is estimated that the master was busy and forgot to send someone back to inform him." ”

Qu'er left, Lin Yuan was even more upset and irritable, and even the Ye family was sensitive to the fact that something was wrong.

"No, if I continue to do nothing, I'm going to get a nervous break." Lin Yuan muttered to herself, and then she explained, "Xianghe Xianglan, help me take out the piano, I want to play the piano." ”

For a moment, the sound of the piano full of indignation sounded in Lin Yuan's courtyard.

After the song, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart felt a little smoother.

Suddenly, a burst of high-fives sounded in Lin Yuan's ears, and when she turned her head to look, she saw Ji Zongyu with a dusty face.

Ji Zongyu actually sneaked into the inner courtyard of the Lin Mansion.

Lin Yuan looked at each other with black and white eyes, and then she scolded fiercely, "It's your fault, I won't think about it, I'll settle accounts with you!" ”

Ji Zongyu was stunned by the scolding, but he didn't expect Lin Yuan to understand the cause of the incident by himself. He touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Okay, it's all my fault, don't be angry." ”

A burst of laughter came, and Ji Zongyu glared viciously at Shi Mei, who was guarding the door.

Shi Mei hurriedly shrunk her neck, and helped Ji Zongyu speak as if flattering, "Fourth Miss, you can blame our master, the master has been running around for the affairs of your mansion, and things have improved a little, so I asked the little one to send a note to the second master of your mansion." Now I'm afraid that you're worried, no, sneaky people just ran over. ”

It turned out that the note Lin Guangcheng got was written by Ji Zongyu.

Lin Yuan automatically ignored Shi Mei's words, her face improved slightly, and after a pause, she asked the rest of the people to go out, before asking in a serious voice, "You honestly tell me if this was done by the top?" And what will happen to the Lin family? ”

Ji Zongyu's expression was suffocated, and his eyes were full of admiration that could not be concealed.

Sure enough, it was Lin Xiaosi who he fancied, and he was not comparable to those straw bale vases at all.

He nodded his head and said, "It was acquiesced by the above, but it was not done by the above." He stopped his voice and said a little depressedly, "This was done by King Pingbei." ”

Lin Yuan understood after a little thought that King Pingbei must be angry for his daughter Siqi County Lord. She didn't answer, and looked at Ji Zongyu waiting for the following.

"Your Lin family's gold mine in Shandong had an accident, and many people died in the collapse, which is also a common thing, and it will be okay to give more compensation, but the king of Pingbei took advantage of this matter to make a little bit of a dot up and down, coupled with the acquiescence of the above, and poked the matter out, I am afraid that this gold mine will not be able to be saved this time."
