Chapter 347: Coercion

☆★☆★☆★

Liu was a little surprised when he heard this, what did the second prince come to the door at this time?

"Who is the second prince looking for?" Although the second prince and Zhao Yan are married, they are not married after all, even if they want to meet Zhao Yan, they should not be so open.

As soon as Liu thought about it, he knew that the second prince of Lu Dao had something else to do.

"The second prince is here to find the eldest uncle."

"The second prince is here to find the Hou Ye to have something important to discuss."

Answering in unison, Lin Zhaoyan and Zijuan glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

"How did the four girls find out?" Zijuan asked curiously.

Lin Zhaoyan pursed his lips and said playfully: "Guess." ”

"Guess?" It was Liu's voice, and she looked at her eldest daughter curiously, trying to get some clues from her expression, but the little girl's eyes were clear and her face was smiling, and she couldn't see it at all.

"Mother, since there is no news from the father's side, the daughter will go back first." Lin Zhaoyan stood up and said goodbye to Liu.

Liu shook his head and didn't say much, until Lin Zhaoyan came out of the room, she instructed Zijuan: "You will find an opportunity to call Man Shuang over in a while, I have something to ask her." ”

Zhao'er's recent performance is really strange, and she needs to know what she is doing this time.

Lin Zhaoyan walked out of Luyutang, and after walking for a while, he turned his head and said to Man Shuang beside him: "I think my mother may call you over for questioning, you have a sense of proportion, and you don't have to hide what you should reveal, you must let your mother know the truth." I'm for the good of the three rooms. ”

Liu is his own person, and sometimes he needs the help of his own people, but saying it directly may not be able to achieve the desired effect.

Reveal a little clue, and then let her find out for herself, but she can get her wish.

Man bowed his head, expressed his understanding, and asked, "Girl, are you going to see the second prince?" ”

Lin Zhaoyan paused, then shook his head, "No need." ”

Meeting was just an awkward experience. Once some things are exposed, there is no way to maintain the apparent calm and harmony.

Regarding the matter of ink cream, although the second prince agreed to her, there must be a gap in his heart.

☆★☆★☆★

At this time, Xiao Huan was sitting in the main hall, resting on the coffee table with one hand and holding the tea cup with the other, but he didn't drink it, but lowered his eyes, staring at the turquoise tea leaves floating in the tea with heavy eyes.

Until Lin Kun approached, he didn't notice it.

"Second Prince." Lin Kun reminded softly.

Xiao Huan raised his head. Raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Jian'an Hou is here?" ”

Lin Kun stepped forward to salute An, and because of the gap between him and Lin Chen, his expression was slightly gloomy. Although it was well hidden, it was still detected by the second prince.

"Jian'an Hou is late, is it delayed by something?" The second prince asked.

"It's just a trivial chore." Lin Kun took it and changed the topic. "It's the second prince, what is the matter with coming to Weichen?"

He was very strange in his heart, the second prince and the Jian'an Hou Mansion did not have a deep relationship. After Cao Zhijing's incident, it can be said that he was completely hostile to the three princes and his party, and it was a miracle that he did not withdraw his marriage contract with Lin Zhaoyan, and he took the initiative to come to the door this time, which surprised him even more.

Don't...... Do you want to win him over in secret?

Just when Lin Kun was thinking crankily and pretentious, the second prince took a sip of tea and said casually, "Jian'an Hou, I heard that you are very familiar with the ink cream girl in the drunken flower building, is this serious?" ”

Lin Kun's heart jumped, and he hurriedly took a step back, but fortunately stabilized his emotions in time, so he didn't do anything more out of shape.

Rao is heart was already turbulent, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure and said, "Where did the second prince learn about this?" This is complete nonsense, someone is deliberately smearing Weichen, Weichen ......"

"I'm just asking you if it's serious, you just have to answer honestly, why are you so excited?" Xiao Huan raised his eyes, looked at him with a heavy gaze, and the tea cup in his hand rested on the coffee table, making a "bang" sound, which shocked Lin Kun's heart and turned a little pale.

Mo Shuang has always been the favored person of the second prince, this is well known, and then I don't know what the reason for Lu Dao, the second prince has never been to the Zuihualou again, nor has he seen Mo Shuang, there were many kinds of speculation at that time, some said that the second prince was tired of it, some said that Mo Shuang refused, and some said that it was because of the eldest son of Prince Xiao......

All these chaotic speculations have never stopped, and he has also secretly investigated the internal reasons for the second prince's sudden abandonment of ink cream, but he can't find anything, but he is faintly happy.

Because Ink Cream is a very intelligent woman, she can find resonance when she talks to her, and as long as she stays with her, she is very peaceful and comfortable, and she will unconsciously follow her words, which is really a rare wonderful person.

He thought that once the second prince had nothing to do with Ink Cream, it would be more convenient for him to see Ink Frost in the future.

Who had it, the second prince ransomed Moshuang a few days ago, which surprised many people who had speculated that Moshuang had been abandoned.

He was also very depressed in his heart, and because of Cao Zhijing's matter, he didn't give Lu a lot of face for a while.

But now, the second prince, who had redeemed Ink Frost, suddenly came to visit, and asked him straight to the point if he was once a guest of Ink Frost, did he want revenge?

"If you don't want to tell the truth, I will find someone to investigate, and when the time comes, there will be a trouble, and the face will not look good, and I won't be able to control it." Xiao Huan peeked at his expression, sneered coldly, and said meaningfully.

Lin Kun's face was even more ugly.

"Where did the second prince hear these remarks smearing Weichen, this is complete nonsense, Weichen has a good reputation for doing things, he has always been honest and honest, even the saint has praised Weichen for his honesty and uprightness several times, how could Weichen go to a place like Zuihualou to smash the signboard?" Lin Kun tried to stabilize his emotions, word by word, and said slowly.

"Really?" Xiao Huan raised his eyebrows, and a vague smile appeared on his lips, "If I tell you." It was Moshuang who told me about this, and was willing to marry you as a concubine, would you still say such things? ”

Lin Kun's eyes widened in shock.

What, what?

Ink Frost is willing to marry him as a concubine?!

This, this is absolutely impossible!

"Jian'an Hou Mo don't believe it, if you really like ink cream, I will send ink cream to your mansion tonight, as long as you can treat ink cream sincerely in the future and give her a good home, I can be regarded as a comfort." Xiao Huan ignored Lin Kun's stunned eyes. Said lightly.

Lin Kun glared at the second prince, and he couldn't believe it in his heart, "Second prince, don't make such a big joke with Weichen!" Wechen can't afford it! ”

As he spoke, he knelt down with a "poof", thinking that he was really frightened by Xiao Huan's sudden proposal.

Xiao Huan lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Kun condescendingly, a smile appeared on his lips, but his voice was unusually cold and serious. "Don't you like inks? Don't you want to give her a good home? Or do you just want to use her to extract some information about other officials from her mouth, so that you can do things for the third prince? ”

Lin Kun's face turned pale in an instant.

Xiao Huan smiled coldly again. "If you don't dare to accept the ink cream, don't blame me for taking some extraordinary measures, when the time comes, it will be ugly, and I believe it is not what Jian'anhou wants to see."

Lin Kun's hands hanging at his side clenched into fists.

He understood what the second prince meant.

The second prince ransomed Moshuang back not because he still liked her and wanted to take her as a concubine. I don't want to let her get information in a mixed place like Drunken Flower Building.

The second prince thought that Moshuang was his person, thought that Moshuang was doing things for him, and thought that Moshuang was getting information for the third prince!

The second prince gave him the ink cream. One is to cut off their way, and the other is to use such a tactful means to tell them not to want to play any tricks, he knows it all!

He is demonstrating to the three princes and one party!

The second prince really wants to seize the throne!

They all underestimated him!

Lin Kun's heart was turbulent, but he still tried his best to remain forbearant on his face, and his face turned blue.

Xiao Huan peeked at him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

If you want to give the ink cream to Jian'an Hou and make him accept it unconditionally, he can only take this kind of threat.

But once this method is adopted, he really has no way back.

Zhou Tingchen's matter, Cao Zhijing's matter, and now with a Jian'an Hou, how can he get out of the way.

This is the last life he wants, but he still does it without hesitation, and even he feels weird.

Xiao Huan closed his eyes and didn't let himself think about it anymore.

What he has done, he can't help but regret it.

Lin Kun lay on the ground and did not move.

Xiao Huan was not in a hurry, he didn't force him to ask, he just waited for him to answer.

Lin Kun thought about it for a long time, constantly analyzing the pros and cons of taking Moshuang as a concubine.

The disadvantage must be that the house is restless, with Lu's temperament, she can make the big house what it is today just by hearing a little rumor, if he really takes Mo Shuang back to the house, maybe he will stir up the Hou Mansion a lot of restlessness!

There are also advantages, first of all, he admires Ink Frost very much, being able to bring such a smart woman back to the house, which is a blessing and enjoyment for men, and moreover, it is indeed safer to put Ink Cream in the Hou Mansion than to put her in the Drunken Flower Building, because what the second prince said is not unreasonable, Ink Frost is so smart, it may not be anyone's spy. He knew it wouldn't be theirs, and he wouldn't let such a dangerous woman stand against them. In the end, the second prince has already said to such a point, if he doesn't agree, I don't know what immoral means he will use!

Lin Kun thought for a long time, and finally spoke softly, "If the second prince really wants to give the ink cream girl to Weichen, Weichen must be grateful." ”

Xiao Huan hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a touch of satisfaction and relief, but this smile failed to reach the corners of his eyes.

Chapter 348: Confrontation

☆★☆★☆★

When Lin Zhaoyan received the news that the second prince had left the Hou Mansion, it had not been three moments.

She was stunned, stopped the pen she was painting, and looked at Manshuang, "He left?" ”

Man shook his head, glanced at Lin Zhaoyan's expression, and said cautiously, "The slave maid just secretly went to see Fu'an, and the second prince has nothing to say to you." ”

"Oh." Lin Zhaoyan nodded, put the pen on the blue and white porcelain pen holder, and brushed the hem of his skirt. walked out of the bookcase and said, "Since there is nothing to say, it should be no problem, wait for the good show at night!" ”

Man Shuang glanced at Lin Zhaoyan, thought about it, and then spoke: "Girl, are you having trouble with the second prince?" ”

She could feel the subtle changes between the second prince and the girl, although they were still in contact before, they were no longer as close as before, as if they were separated by a barrier.

It's like the second prince came to the Hou Mansion this time. If he had tried his best to come to see the girl in the past, he would have left a letter no matter how bad it was, but this time he left without saying anything, which was really strange.

When Lin Zhaoyan heard this, he bent the corners of his lips, "No, it's just a different way to get along." ”

If it is said that before the ink frost incident, they were beautiful in the fog, then after this incident, they are sober and clear through the clouds.

The second prince was still willing to help her, and she was very fortunate and grateful. He didn't expect him to treat her the way he used to.

Besides, things have come to this point, and there is no point in deceiving them any longer.

In the evening, Lin Zhaoyan went to Luyutang to accompany Liu's dinner.

Because of these things that happened in the house and Lin Ruoyan's departure. Liu's appetite was very bad, and he stared at Lin Ruoyan's usual sitting place in a daze, and quietly did not say a word.

Lin Zhaoyan bit his chopsticks to look at her, and said vaguely: "Mother." Guess what Ruoyan is eating right now? ”

Liu came back to his senses, and happened to meet her big flickering eyes, and the lights and candles in the room were reflected. There are a little stars in it, and it is cute.

Liu Shi smiled, his spirit suddenly improved, and he replied to her words: "She, she is so squeamish, and her mouth is naughty, I am afraid that she would rather be hungry than eat those dry foods that are difficult to swallow, and she will definitely say, 'Is this what people eat?'" I don't want it, you go and buy me the rose cake from Zhen Shan Pavilion. 'Purple Ying is afraid that she will be annoyed to death. ”

Lin Zhaoyan looked at the doting and love that Liu couldn't hide when he mentioned Lin Ruoyan, and also curled the corners of her lips and laughed, she could imagine what Lin Ruoyan looked like when she said this, she must be arrogant and cute.

"But who will buy her the rose crisp from Zhen Shan Ge again, and how can she buy it? Leaving Shengjing, how can she still have the capital of willfulness and arrogance. Liu said, lonely again, and her eyes unconsciously turned red, "She just hasn't suffered hardship, so she doesn't know the sinister world, so she can be so simple and make such a willful move." ”

Lin Zhaoyan put down his chopsticks, gently pulled her hand, and persuaded her, "I said that if my mother is worried about Ruoyan, she can go to Yanling, so that she can find an excuse for Ruoyan to run away from home, and her reputation will not be damaged." ”

Liu Shi looked at her, his eyes were heavy, and his tone became solemn, "Zhao'er, I asked Manshuang, why do you want me and your father to leave Shengjing?" You're doing all this to get us out, is there something going to happen in Shengjing City? ”

When she didn't like Zhao'er before, she would think that she was a crow's mouth, and anything bad could be fulfilled, but since the relationship between mother and daughter eased, she thought about everything that happened in the past, and found that it might be something else.

It is likely that Zhao'er has the ability to foresee disasters.

When Lin Zhaoyan heard this, her heart jumped, she didn't expect Liu to guess in this direction, and turned her head to avoid her gaze.

Who knew that Lu Dao Liu squeezed her hand and said word by word: "Zhao'er, mother promised you that she would definitely find a way to persuade your father to leave Shengjing." ”

Lin Zhaoyan turned his head to look at her in surprise.

"It's just ......," Liu said, his expression solemnized, "It's just that you also have to promise your mother that you will also open Shengjing, okay?" ”

Lin Zhaoyan's eyes dimmed, but it was fleeting, and he immediately smiled and said to Liu: "What did my mother say, my daughter is going to marry the second prince, this is the marriage of the Queen Mother, is it possible that you still want to resist the decree and disrespect?" ”

Liu Shi tightened his eyebrows, "Then think of a way, think of a ......"

"Mother." Lin Zhaoyan interrupted her words and said seriously: "Mother, I know that you are worried about me, and I don't worry about leaving me alone in the Hou Mansion, but I have grown up and am about to die, if I can leave Beijing alone, I can naturally live well in Shengjing City." I know that you are a sane person and understand what is best for the third room, so you can just let it go, I promise to take care of myself. ”

Liu naturally knew that Lin Zhaoyan's words were very reasonable, but he was still uneasy in his heart, and he wanted to say something, so Zijuan walked in quickly. The complexion was quite solemn.

She walked up to Liu, leaned over and whispered in her ear.

I saw Liu's expression change from surprise to shock to disbelief, and then he stood up from the chair abruptly and said in a lost voice: "Is this serious? ”

Zijuan nodded solemnly, "What the slave said is not a lie. ”

Liu shook his head, still in disbelief, "I thought it was Lu's suspicious, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Second Prince...... The second prince, it turned out to be him, what did he mean? ”

Lin Zhaoyan looked at Liu in ignorance. "Mother, what's going on? What does it have to do with the second prince? ”

Liu Shi turned his eyes to look at her, his eyes showing amazement, "Do you know what the second prince of Lu Dao has done?" ”

Lin Zhaoyan shook his head, "My daughter doesn't know." ”

Liu sighed and said word by word: "He actually gave a woman from the Qinglou to your uncle." ”

Zijuan explained, "The name of the Qinglou woman is Ink Cream, and she is very famous in Shengjing City, before. It was rumored that the second prince wanted to accept her as a side concubine, and the second prince had ransomed her a while ago, and I thought it was an official recognition of her identity, but I didn't expect ......"

"I didn't expect him to give this woman to your uncle." Liu answered. Then he sighed, apparently recovering from the shock, "It's just that I don't know if it's good or bad." ”

The benefit, of course, is for Lin Zhaoyan.

The downside. It's for the entire Hou Mansion.

"With your eldest aunt's temperament, it will definitely make the entire Hou Mansion restless, and maybe the Chengguo Mansion will be involved. That's going to be a tough one. Liu said worriedly, although he had made up his mind to split up, after all, he had lived in the Hou Mansion for so many years, and he didn't want it to really have an accident.

Now because of Qin Yuxue and Qin Chang's affairs, it is difficult to get into trouble with Zhennan Bofu, if you offend the Chengguo Mansion again!

Lin Zhaoyan comforted her, "No, it's already like this, and the eldest aunt knows how to do it." Besides, my grandmother is also from the Chengguo Mansion, and she will not let the situation go down. ”

Liu could only nod.

Lin Zhaoyan asked Zijuan again, "How are the Qin family brothers and sisters handled?" ”

Zijuan shook her head, "It seems that there is no consensus yet, the situation between the two sides is stalemate, and this incident suddenly happened, Mrs. Hou hurried to the Rongsheng Hall, and Miss Ink Frost has been sent over." ”

Lin Zhaoyan nodded, relieved in his heart.

As long as it is sent into the house, although according to the custom of Dayan, send the concubine to the official, if the lady is not satisfied, the concubine can be returned, but the identity of the second prince is powerful, as long as it is sent to the house, the wife of the house can not slap the face of the superior no matter how dissatisfied she is, you can only break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach.

Ink Cream is bound to become Lin Kun's concubine!

Liu's expression became more solemn, and he said to Lin Zhaoyan: "Mother is going to investigate the situation, do you want to go together?" ”

Since Lin Zhaoyan showed her scheming side in front of Liu, Liu now does not shy away from Lin Zhaoyan when she speaks and does things.

Lin Zhaoyan nodded.

She wasn't worried about what would happen to the Lu family, she just wanted to see the ink cream.

This is about the first time they have officially met since Yanling!

Ink, I'm not going to let you get what you want.

☆★☆★☆★

Lin Zhaoyan took the Liu family to Rongsheng Hall.

As soon as I arrived at the courtyard, I heard Lu's sharp cry.

Listening to the voice, it was extremely resentful and desperate.

Lin Zhaoyan's heart trembled when she heard this, it seemed that the Lu family was even more arrogant and stubborn than she imagined, exactly the same as Lin Jinming.

She didn't want to see Lu's sad and desperate look.

"Zijuan, do you know where that Ink Frost girl is now?"

Purple Juan's head, "temporarily placed in the guest room." ”

"I'll meet her." Lin Zhaoyan replied.

Liu nodded, "It's okay, mother will persuade your aunt, you will go to meet that ink cream girl, I believe that she can charm so many dignitaries, especially your uncle, it must not be a simple character." ”

Lin Zhaoyan thought to himself, Ink Cream, she is not just a simple character!

When Lin Zhaoyan pushed the door and entered the guest room, it was dark in front of him.

There was no light in the house.

She closed her eyes until she was used to the darkness before her, and then she saw a seated figure by the window.

It's ink cream.

She sat there quietly, as if looking out the window at night, looking very peaceful and quiet.

But Lin Zhaoyan clearly knew that there was actually an undercurrent surging under this calm appearance.

"You're finally here." Sure enough, Ink Frost spoke softly, and her tone was very calm, as if no matter how embarrassing the situation was, she would not lose her due demeanor.

Lin Zhaoyan smiled and replied calmly: "Yes, this is in the Hou Mansion of Jian'an, as a member of the Hou Mansion, I naturally want to come to see you, Aunt Moshuang."

Mo Shuang's figure was stunned, but it quickly returned to normal, and he turned around with a smile and said: "I never thought that you had such a ability, this time I admit it, but there will be no next time, Lin Zhaoyan, you will definitely regret what you did today."

(To be continued......)
