Duanmu Qing's words made the Lin family surprised for a while, she heard the coachman say that Duanmu Zi was tied up, she was already panicking, and she didn't think of these problems at all.

The coachman couldn't help but glance up at Duanmu Qing, and then quickly lowered his head before answering honestly.

"The little novice said that the second lady was missing, so I asked.

He said that the second lady wanted to go to the backyard after the incense, but the umbrella was left there, and she and the green dyeing girl were gone. ”

"And then did you find it? Where are you looking for them? ”

Lin kept twisting the handkerchief in his hand, and he was very nervous, but he was relieved to see Duanmu Qing so calm.

"I found it, the masters in the temple looked at our family's carriage and knew that it was the second lady of the Hou Mansion who lost it, and they didn't dare to delay, and the big guys looked for it together.

But after looking around for a long time, I didn't find it, and I almost turned over a mile of radius, but there was no one.

Later, I was afraid that the house would be in a hurry, so I wanted to rush back, and as soon as I walked back to the carriage, I saw a letter on it, asking us to take the money and pick up the people. ”

Duanmu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a dangerous light, this group of people is really good!

"What about faith?" Duanmu Qing still had a faint smile on his lips at this time, and the serious expression just now was completely gone, with a lazy taste.

Lin and the coachman didn't know what her expression meant for a while.

"Here I am." Of course, the Lin family knew the importance of this letter, but they didn't know what Duanmu Qing meant at this time.

Unfolding the letter, Duanmu Qing looked at it, was silent for a moment, and then said, "You go down first!" I'll discuss it with the eldest lady. ”

"Qing'er, what did you find?"

Obviously, when the coachman explained all the causes and consequences, Duanmuqing's mood completely changed, and he sent the coachman away at this time, so he naturally made a discovery.

Duanmu Qing put the unfolded letter paper on the table and pushed it in front of the Lin family: "Auntie, have you read this letter?" ”

"Look," her question made the Lin family feel puzzled, the matter was related to Duanmu Zi's safety, how could she not look at it, "Let's pay 200,000 taels to pay for ransom." ”

Nodding, Duanmu Qing said with a smile: "Today's kidnappers are also living a good life, and they know how to use Yunxuan when they write a word." ”

Hearing her words, Lin Shi realized that the kidnapper's letter turned out to be a good Yunxuan paper.

Seeing her puzzled, Duanmu Qing then smiled and said, "Don't you think it's strange for the eldest aunt?" ”

"How?"

"Duanmu Zi lives in a simple place these days, and people like her who love to be lively, even the wedding of the third prince did not participate, so it can be seen that she is unwilling to go out."

Lin nodded: "Yes!" That's why I want her to go out more and feel better. ”

Duanmu Qing shook his head and smiled: "Going out for a walk can naturally make you feel better, but aunt, do you think Duanmu Zi is a person who believes in Buddhism?" ”

One sentence stunned the Lin family, what kind of person Duanmu Zi is, although she doesn't know very well, but she has really never seen her go to the temple to incense, nor has she ever participated in the Buddha.

"A person who has been afraid of being seen for a while, and who does not believe in Buddhism, suddenly wants to go to incense in the rain, this is ...... Is it ordinary? ”

Lin was stunned when he said this, it was unusual! Unusual, of course, but why?

"Aunt should have heard a saying, abnormality is a demon." Duanmu Qing's speed of speech was unhurried, but it fell on people's hearts as if with a lot of strength, and people had to nod.

"Then you mean that Zi'er wrote, directed, and acted in this play herself? That...... What is the purpose? ”

Such a question, anyone who thought of this layer would ask rhetorically, Duanmu Qing originally didn't know if what Ding said to Duanmu Zi at that time was effective.

At this time, I have to say, a good move!

Seeing his eldest aunt's worried eyes, Duanmu Qing sighed softly.

"Aunt, now you are the presiding officer of the middle feed in the house, let me ask you, can we take out the 200,000 taels of silver?"

It was because of this silver that the Lin family was embarrassed, if the money was less, it would have been handed over a long time ago: "How is it possible?"

Duanmu Qing nodded: "That's right, we can't hand it over, then we will go to negotiate with the kidnappers, according to your and my character, this matter will definitely not alarm others first." ”

Lin was taken aback: "So they want you to go?" ”

"I Duanmuqing is so face-saving, let them design such a good pit for me to jump, if I want to take care of the Yongding Marquis Mansion and take care of my own face, then I must go."

"If you go, then ......"

"Then it's at the mercy of others."

Duanmuqing looked at the Lin family with a smile, they really know their character, if there are no flaws, in order to make the family feel at ease, she Duanmuqing will definitely come out of this.

At this time, Duanmu Cang and Duanmu He are not there, and she is now rich and powerful, which is no more suitable.

Sweat was faintly on Lin's forehead, because she had never thought that this seemingly peaceful home would be like this behind her back.

And Duanmu Qing Duanmu Zi is just a thirteen-year-old child, how can he be more gloomy than adults?

"What if we get together 200,000? You can't let people tear up the ticket! ”

"That Duanmu Zi can indeed be saved, and our whole family will be finished."

A faint sentence floated out, and Duanmu Qing looked at Lin obliquely.

"Although the Yongding Marquis Mansion is a meritorious family, there are not many people who can actually receive it, because our family does not have any position in the court.

It is precisely because of this that His Majesty is so reassured of us.

All of a sudden, we were able to come up with such a huge amount of money, you say, where did the money come from? ”

Lin looked at Duanmu Qing stunned, "At that time, even if Your Majesty doesn't pursue our money, he will secretly doubt it in his heart." ”

Nodding, Duanmu Qing sneered: "This is what others want." ”

"But ......" for Duanmu Zi's participation in such a thing, she still didn't believe it for the time being, "She is also the daughter of the Hou Mansion!" ”

This sentence suddenly reminded Duanmu Qing of what Duanmu Zi said before he died in his previous life.

If it weren't for the scene in her previous life, she would never have thought that a person's jealousy could make her not hesitate to destroy all the relatives related to her bloodline.

But Duanmu Qing was not prepared to tell the Lin family.

just smiled faintly: "After all, she is not old enough, and the Qi State Mansion does look much brighter than our Yongding Marquis Mansion." ”

The rain outside finally stopped gradually, and the wind blew, bringing a chill, like a cold in the hearts of people.

"So what do we do now? Either way, it's not good for us! ”

Duanmu Qing suddenly laughed, "Auntie, it tastes good that you invited me to tea today, no wonder you specially invited me over." ”

jumped out of such a sentence without a head, which made the temporary stunned.

"That coachman is drunk, he will make a mistake if he is always drunk, give him dozens of taels of silver, half an acre of land, and go home to retire!"

Only then did he understand what Duanmu Qing meant, and Lin nodded and smiled: "This joke told today is not very funny, and we will have a good gathering next time." ”

The two of them left the Qingshui Pavilion hand in hand, each going to their own place.

For five days in a row, Duanmu Zi had no news, but no one in the Hou Mansion found out.

For Xianyun Pavilion, it was easier than ever to go away with the second young lady who was difficult to serve.

So when the Lin family sent someone over to say that Duanmu Zi went to live in the Qin State Mansion, everyone was happy, who would run over and ask more.

Not to mention people in other places, it is rare to see her on weekdays, and it is even more common not to see her at this time.

It's just that Duanmu Jun once said in Rongxi Hall: "Why does Zi'er never come to Rongxi Hall to greet grandmother." ”

The old lady replied, "She is no longer hanging around me, I am more comfortable." ”

Lin and Duanmu Qing couldn't help but feel a little funny.

But gradually, rumors came out of Xianyun Pavilion, saying that Duanmu Zi didn't want to stay in the Yongding Marquis Mansion for a long time, and wanted to go to the Qi State Mansion to be a young lady.

There are also people who vividly learn the whispers that Ding said to the two of her that day.

And when these rumors finally reached the ears of the old lady just right, it was already the eighth day.

The people of Xianyun Pavilion were summoned for questioning, and everyone only said that Duanmu Zi had already lived in the Qi State Mansion.

For the sake of Duanmu You and Duanmu Yi, the old lady had long regarded the Qi State Mansion as a thorn in her heart, and when she heard this, she was immediately angry.

Both Duanmu Qing and Lin were called to Rongxi Hall.

"Do you two know about this?" Now the old lady's rare good spirit was used to get angry this time.

Lin glanced sideways at Duanmu Qing slightly, as if asking her what to say.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you are in charge of the inner courtyard, don't you even know where the young lady has gone?"

As soon as the old lady saw it, the two of them knew that they were in the know, and they were even more angry.

"Grandmother," Duanmu Qing said when he saw that the timing was just right, "It's not that you don't know Zi'er's character.

On the first day of the new day, she said that she was going to incense, although it was raining, but she insisted on going, and her aunt was happy for her, so she let her go, who knows, she will not go back, and she went to the mansion of Qi Guo! ”
