Chapter 7: Shen Muqing's suspicions
"Thank you." Yami quietly put the cake into his mouth, and when he ate it, he still paid attention to the next room.
Hearing Lin Anyi say this, Bai Yan pretended to be aggrieved, "Cousin, am I bothering you to talk about things!" Otherwise, I'll go to the next room to rest and not disturb you talking. ”
Shen Muqing's eyes had always been on Bai Yan's body, and he showed great interest, causing fine beads of sweat to ooze from Lin Anyi's forehead.
Without waiting for Lin Anyi to speak, Shen Muqing took the lead, "It's not necessary, girl, just continue to sit here, let's just talk casually!" ”
As soon as Bai Yan sat down, Shen Muqing deliberately mentioned the matter of Xuanye Pavilion, "The court is now chasing and killing the people of Xuanye Pavilion everywhere, this prince came this time in the hope that Lord Lin can help pursue the people of Xuanye Pavilion together, if he is caught, it will definitely be a great achievement, and when the time comes, not everyone will be promoted and rich!" ”
Say it! Shen Muqing took a glass of wine and made a gesture to clink glasses with Lin Anyi.
When clinking glasses, Lin Anyi's eyes glanced at Bai Yan from time to time, and when he saw that she was just eating quietly, he relaxed a little.
After thirty years of drinking, everything that should be said had been said, and Shen Muqing's face was also a little drunk.
Seeing this, Lin Anyi got up and said apologetically: "Your Highness, the lower officials are not strong enough to drink, why don't you stop here today?" ”
From beginning to end, Bai Yan stood by the side and didn't say a word.
"I haven't had a good time drinking today, let's make a new appointment another day, don't talk about state affairs, just have a good drink, Lord Lin, do you think it's good?" Shen Muqing stood up and said with a somewhat shaky figure.
He Ling heard that the two of them had finished drinking, and hurriedly came over to serve his master.
Lin Anyi could only respond in a loud voice.
He also wanted to send Shen Muqing back, but He Ling refused.
"Thank you Lord Lin for your kindness, it's okay to have subordinates here, and Lord Lin can just go back." After He Ling refused, he helped Shen Muqing downstairs.
Before leaving, Bai Yan stood quietly behind Lin Anyi.
As soon as he came from upstairs, Shen Muqing's face changed instantly.
"You go and check if Lin Anyi has any relatives." As soon as he came out of the restaurant, Shen Muqing turned his head to look at He Ling and said.
He Ling understood, "Lord Wang, are you suspicious that the girl today is not Lord Lin's cousin at all?" ”
But he had some doubts in his heart, if not, then why did Lin Anyi bring an outsider with him and attend such an important banquet?
"What her identity is, maybe you will know after checking it, but judging from the actions of the people at the banquet, she is definitely not Lin Anyi's cousin." Shen Muqing said firmly.
At this time, after Lin Anyi watched Shen Muqing and the others leave, he closed the door of the box and immediately knelt in front of Bai Yan worriedly.
"Pavilion Master, what do you see?" Lin Anyi was a little flustered.
Bai Yan waved his hand.
"Get up! You don't have to kneel at every turn, you did a good job today, but I may have to stay with you for a while, looking at Shen Muqing's appearance just now, I'm afraid that he will be suspicious of both of us, if I leave now, he is only afraid that he will be more determined. Bai Yan looked at the direction of the box door and said with a serious face.
Lin Anyi bowed his head and replied with self-reproach, "Yes"
"Has the Pavilion Master been living in the Lin Mansion recently?" Lin Anyi raised his head and asked.
"Live with you! When it comes to safety, you're the safest right now. Bai Yan said, reaching out and making a gesture of please.
This gesture alone made Lin Anyi a little flattered.
He didn't dare to walk in front of the Pavilion Master, but now he had to walk in front of the Pavilion Master.
Among the four branch hall masters, Lin Anyi's courage was the smallest, and he watched from behind at night, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
Lin Anyi found the quietest courtyard in the house and gave it to Bai Yan.
However, just as they returned to the courtyard, a letter arrived from Yomi.
"Pavilion Master, the Vermilion Bird Hall Master has sent a message from Wan, saying that the matter of the jade pendant you investigated has been decided, and she is now preparing to rush over to meet you, do you see if it is convenient for you?" Yami asked, holding a letter in his hand.
Hearing that it was a matter of jade pendant, Bai Yan nodded directly in agreement.
Anyway, they are all in the capital, and it is too simple to come to her.
After nightfall, in the capital, not only Lin Anyi's mansion was brightly lit, but also the lights in the study of the three princes were also on.
He Ling found out Lin Anyi's news as quickly as possible.
"Your Highness, as you expected, Lin Anyi has no relatives at all, at least from the information we have now, he doesn't have a cousin surnamed Bai." He Ling rushed over with the results of the investigation.
Shen Muqing, who was thinking about things, suddenly raised his head and looked at He Ling fixedly.
"In this case, he deceived us, and if this person is not his relative, then it is possible that he is on the outside. But no matter what the reason, he has no point in hiding it from us, and can only show that the identity of this woman is not convenient for us to know. ”
Listening to Shen Muqing's speculation, He Ling nodded in agreement.
He originally wanted to come to Lin Anyi to discuss the matter of Huang Hu, but he didn't expect such an unexpected discovery.
"Then what are you going to do now, Your Highness?"
Facing He Ling's inquiry, Shen Muqing lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Isn't there something left unfinished during the day?" Why don't we take this opportunity to go to Lin Anyi's place again to see if he is free and finish talking about what he hasn't said during the day. ”
Heling understood.
When they arrived at Lin Anyi's mansion, the porter was a little surprised to see the people who came.
"Third prince, why did you come here so late?" The porter stepped forward with a smile and asked.
"I remember that there are still some things that have not been discussed with your family during the day, and I came over to finish the rest of the things, why is it inconvenient for Lord Lin now?" Shen Muqing said, raising his eyes and glancing inside.
The porter thought that he had just come out at night to warn him that if anyone else came to visit tonight, he would refuse to do so, but he really couldn't refuse this person on the other side!
"Back to the third prince, after our family came back today, I was a little tired, so I rested early." The porter explained very politely.
When is this time? He Ling's gaze looked at Shen Muqing meaningfully, wondering what his next plan was!
Shen Muqing smiled and waved his hand, "That's it, since Lord Lin has rested, this prince will no longer continue to bother, and it will be the same after a while." ”
However, when he passed by the back street of the Lin Mansion, he saw a figure sneakily walking towards the back door.
He Ling glanced at the person beside him, and boldly guessed: "Could it be that Lord Lin secretly called the woman in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou?" ”
