"Ask where Murong Niangzi lives?" After the small banquet was dispersed, Xiao Zong and other guests all left first, Xiang Lin stood in place and contemplated, and after a while, he wandered towards the front yard, and happened to meet a maid passing by, and hesitated to ask.

On that day in the mourning hall, Ziying was grief-stricken, her face was haggard, her spirit was sluggish, and she was infected with wind and cold due to the cold rain invading her body, coughing and wheezing was unstoppable, and she looked really distressing, and she knew that Ziying was a person who valued love and righteousness, and was worried that she was deeply grieved and burned out, and she couldn't sleep day and night, but she didn't look for a good time to go to the Assassin's Mansion to see her.

"It turned out to be Xu Gongzi... Childe wants to see our eldest lady's sister Ziying Niangzi? The maid asked with a smile and asked Lin Yingshi, and after saying a few words, the maid pointed to the direction and hurriedly looked for Lin Xie.

"I'm guarding the princess here, you guys should retreat and rest..."Ziying commanded in a weak voice, Mengyan and Qingxia cleaned up the medicine bowl and the cold meal and retreated lightly. Ziying's wind and cold have not healed, and he has not slept for several days and nights, does not eat tea and rice, and boils his heart is so sad that his tears are dry, his face is haggard, his body is thin, his eyebrows are like willow leaves, his eyes are like dust and smoke, how can he say how sad.

"Who are you? What are you sneaking around? Mengyan went out of the room first, saw Xiang Lin wandering in front of the door, asked with a cold face, and when Xiang Lin was about to speak, Qingxia followed out with a meal, "Isn't this Xu Gongzi?" Why is Childe wandering here? Xiang Lin smiled and said: "Xiaosheng came to visit Murong Niangzi, and he was afraid of taking the liberty of disturbing him, so he wandered in front of the steps..."

Mengyan asked again in a blink of an eye: "What does the son have to do with my mother?" Xiang Lin Si pondered: "Oh, it has nothing to do with... Xiao Sheng just heard that Murong Niangzi had been in poor health recently, so he came to visit. Mengyan said angrily: "Childe is just a little doorman in the house, and he is not related to Sister A, what do you want to visit~ It is not easy to climb relatives and attach nobles, if Childe has self-knowledge, it is better to leave as soon as possible~" How did Xiang Lin expect that the maid would speak like this, and he was speechless for a while.

"Mengyan, what's the noise..."Just as Xiang Lin was thinking about coping with his words, Ziying slowly walked out of the door, and Mengyan hurriedly greeted her and helped her, "Sister How can you move around at will before the wind and cold have healed, if you recruit a cool breeze again, won't it be more troublesome..."

Ziying didn't respond, turned her eyes and slowly looked at Lin, Xiang Lin also stared at each other slowly, Ziying's face was pale and sad, as light as a thin frost and as quiet as water, just looking at him quietly, Xiang Lin was surging at the moment, and the memories of the scenes were intertwined in his mind like throwing beans, hitting every nerve, and looking at Lin with a headache that he couldn't bear to endure, but he didn't know that there were faint tears in his eyes.

Ziying didn't know why she was staring at the strange and familiar humble son in front of her, and it took a long time before she was called back to her senses by Mengyan, "Mengyan, go down... Childe, please come in..."Mengyan left sulkingly, thanked Lin Baibai and followed into the room.

After saying a few words, he asked Lin, "Is it okay.. Can you allow Xiaosheng to call her son Ziying..."Ziying smiled miserably, "But according to the wishes of the son, Ziying doesn't count..."Xiang Lin smiled and thanked him, but after calling Ziying softly, he couldn't help but burst into tears, he thought that he could hold back his tears, but the tears fell suddenly and easily, and he hurriedly turned his back to Lin, but Ziying had already seen this scene.

"Why is Childe crying?" Ziying was strange, and hurriedly replied to Lin Si: "Xiaosheng has a sister who calls Ziying with her mother, and it is difficult for her to think about it, so she cried and made her laugh..." The word just made Gongzi's eyes full of tears, it seems that the brother-sister relationship between Gongzi and Sister Ling is very deep..."Xiang Lin Weiyan, Ziying asked again: "Where is Sister Ling?" Since Childe misses her so much, why don't you go and look for her? Xiang Lin replied: "My little sister fell into a stream a few years ago and lost her memory, and her whereabouts are still unknown..."

Ziying was stunned, and suddenly didn't know what to say, "God has eyes, and I will definitely bless my sister to be safe and sound, and I will be reunited with my son in the near future." Xiang Lin said lightly: "Far away in the sky, bitter thoughts, close to how to recognize each other..."Ziying didn't know what he meant, Xiang Lin also gave up, wiped away his tears and turned around and said: "Xiaosheng has a thing to ask the lady to accept..."

"This... This is? Ziying was a little at a loss, and when she saw the engraved word 'Lin', her head suddenly hurt, and Xiang Lin hurriedly hugged her, "Lady forgive me, this wooden figure is a plaything that my little sister gave her when she was a child... On the day my little sister disappeared, I only found it..."

Ziying froze, "Since it is a treasure for my sister, why did the son give it to me?" I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Xiang Lin Yan: "Don't hide it from the lady, Xiaosheng will think of the little sister every time he sees the lady, and now he can't find her traces, this wooden right is kept by the lady, in order to comfort the little girl's heartfelt thoughts... When it finds the little sister one day, it's not too late for the little student to come and ask for it again..."He bowed his head to Lin and begged, and his words were sincere.

"That being the case, the little woman has the right to keep it for the childe..."Ziying touched the wooden figure in her hand and smiled slightly, "By the way, why does the child think of Ling Mei when he sees me..."Xiang Lin said: "When the little sister laughs, she looks like the lady when she laughs..."Ziying stood quietly and did not say anything more.

"Xiaosheng still has other things, so I'll retire..."Xiang Lin saw Ziying put away the wooden man, and after thinking about it, he bowed and said goodbye, Ziying coughed and gasped a few times and said: "Son, go and get busy.. Ziying will take good care of it." Xiang Lin looked back step by step, but when he walked to the door, he didn't look back at her, "Life and fortune are determined by heaven, how to judge the deep and shallow, and let the affectionate Xu Yu Shi, smile at the sunset in the long court... The Imperial Mansion is not an ordinary place, take care of the lady..."As soon as the words fell, Xiang Lin Xin's mouth was full of tears, and then his heart left in a hurry.

Ziying didn't stop him, he was stunned and fell into deep thought, and then slowly walked to the bed, quietly looked at the sleeping Xiao Meiwan and smiled.

But said that on the other side of the main hall, Wu Shuyuan stood in place with a gloomy face, and after a while, Xiao Zong and Zheng Xiaoqiao entered the hall, Zheng Xiaoqiao pretended to be afraid, followed Xiao Zong, and grabbed his sleeve tightly, squeezing out two lines of tears in his eyes, sobbing and sobbing.

There was a dead silence in the hall, and then Wu Shuyuan suddenly turned around and stared at Zheng Xiaoqiao, her eyes were full of anger, Zheng Xiaoqiao couldn't help but feel stunned, she had never seen Wu Shuyuan like this.

"Zheng Jinzhi! Come! Wu Shuyuan said coldly, Zheng Xiaoqiao glanced at Xiao Zong, Xiao Zong gave her a look, and Zheng Xiaoqiao walked to Wu Shuyuan's side softly and slowly.

"What does Mother command..."Zheng Xiaoqiao whispered tightly, and Wu Shuyuan asked: "Let me ask you, does Mei'er have anything to do with her disappearance?!" Zheng Xiaoqiao was frightened, "Jinzhi is wronged, mother!" How can Princess Fufeng's disappearance have anything to do with her daughter! Please mother, check it out! Wu Shuyuan said angrily: "Nonsense! It's clear that you and Zhao Yuan don't get along, so you hold a grudge against her, and then kidnap her in order to get revenge! Yes and no?! ”

Zheng Xiaoqiao knelt on the ground in fright, "Mother! Nishiki is wronged! It is true that Jin Zhi and the eldest lady have always had contradictions and entanglements, but Jin Zhi is a concubine, and he does not dare to forget his identity and status no matter when and where. Besides, the eldest lady is protected by her mother, and the little princess is her mother's heart and bones. Zheng Xiaoqiao said and sobbed and wiped away tears.

"Not to mention the disappearance of Ning'er, how do you explain the fact that Mrs. Li was sick and returned home?!" Wu Shuyuan told her what she knew, and Zheng Xiaoqiao hurriedly cried: "Mother Mingjian! At the beginning, the eldest lady was sick in bed, and her body and bones had not healed, so Jin Zhi thought about the affairs of the subordinates and didn't bother the eldest lady to know, so he took it upon himself to allow Li's mother to return home to recuperate, but she didn't think about it, but she caused this kind of disaster! Zheng Xiaoqiao wiped away his tears and said: "Jinzhi didn't expect that old woman to be so brave and gang up with thieves to kidnap the princess, and it is really not a pity to die under the sword this time!" ”

"That old woman has never caused trouble, and besides, she is just a lowly minion, how can she have such courage to pull out her beard! Do you believe that she kidnapped and kidnapped Mei'er?! Wu Shuyuan said angrily, Zheng Xiaoqiao's words were full of flaws, but she could only say it so strongly.

"Mother! According to the situation at the time, what Jin Zhi said was just speculation! Zheng Xiaoqiao hurriedly said, but Wu Shuyuan seemed to have decided that Xiao Wei's disappearance must be related to her, and then asked carefully, Zheng Xiaoqiao was clever and eloquent, but failed to convince Wu Shuyuan.

Wu Shuyuan turned her back and wanted to ask again, Zheng Xiaoqiao hurriedly glanced at Xiao Zong behind her, Xiao Zong frowned and hurriedly greeted Wu Shuyuan and bowed: "Mother, can you listen to the child's words." Wu Shuyuan crossed her eyebrows and scolded: "Useless son! Even now, you still want to defend her?! Xiao Zong's eyes were full of anger when he heard this, he knew that Wu Shuyuan was still resentful of his failure to catch the thief a few days ago.

"Mother taught me that... But if the child has something to say now, it is not to protect Jinzhi, but the mother is persecuting her like this, isn't it a trick to torture? Xiao Zong looked determined to speak for Zheng Xiaoqiao. Wu Shuyuan said in a loud voice: "Tell me why Wei Niang bent her into a trick?" Xiao Zong smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Mother has always had prejudices against Jinzhi, no matter what Jinzhi does is right or wrong, true or false, her mother will still blame her everywhere, what fairness is there for her?" ”

"Nonsense! What a sin... Son! You.. Are you blinded by her?! Wu Shuyuan blushed angrily, Xiao Zong completely ignored the fact that his mother might have turned her back on his ridiculous words, and continued with a calm head: "Mother, don't be angry, according to the current situation, the disappearance of Mei'er is by no means simple, just say that the man in black who broke into the mansion that night, if he didn't have excellent martial arts, how could he dare to trespass into Longtan... Who is this man in black, and has his mother ever traced it? Wu Shuyuan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and Xiao Zong said: "When the thief is caught missing, the truth will be revealed, why should my mother not give up on Jinzhi, who has nothing to do with this matter, and ask hard..."

Wu Shuyuan seemed to have been dizzy by her son who couldn't support the wall, and the flower in front of her seemed to be about to fall, and the maidservant next to her hurriedly supported her, Wu Shuyuan came back to her senses and scolded with trembling hands: "Unscrupulous son... Get lost! Get out of here! Xiao Zong said: "Mother rest in peace, the child and Jinzhi retire...", after that, Zheng Xiaoqiao, who was kneeling on the ground, went by himself.

Wu Shuyuan's body was soft and burst into tears, "Son! If this continues, there is no hope for the foundation! Xiao Room is hopeless! Several handmaidens hurried to the front and helped her to her bedroom to rest.
