Ah Jin and Song Wenyu went ashore from the wharf by the Jinling River and entered Jinling City, where they saw officers and soldiers checking the customs clearance documents of visitors on the water. Fortunately, Ah Jin was prepared early in the morning, and she was originally from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so she was like a fish in water. The fly in the ointment is that Song Wenyu can only pretend to be a dumb person, and the communication with the guards is all handled by Ah Jin.

Once you were able to get into the city, the rest would be easy. The shops of the Shen family are all over the country, especially in Jinling City. The two of them hadn't walked a few steps into the market when they saw an inn opened by the Shen family.

Ah Jin glanced at Song Wenyu and walked in alone. The shopkeeper saw that Ah Jin was dressed plainly, and he was not so enthusiastic, but he didn't rush anyone.

"This lady, do you want to stay in the hotel, or do you want to have lunch here?" The shopkeeper looked at Ah Jin with a smile, and the question seemed to be very polite, but in fact, it made her retreat.

Ah Jin ignored the shopkeeper, walked to the shopkeeper, knocked on the counter and said, "I want to see Shen Molin." ”

The shopkeeper was looking down to settle the accounts, and suddenly heard that someone was actually mentioning the name of his owner, and subconsciously raised his head to take a look, but saw that it was a delicate fisherwoman. "What are you looking for from our host? This little lady, you should know that the name of the Shen family's eldest Langjun is not something that anyone can call it. ”

"Of course I know. Shopkeeper, you sent a letter to Shen Mansion, and said that someone came to him from the royal capital, and my husband and I were waiting here. Ah Jin smiled, completely ignoring the contemptuous look in the shopkeeper's eyes.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he stood there and stared at Ah Jin for a while, and then looked up at Song Wenyu who was standing at the door of the store. It was as if he was not looking at a person, but at a green-haired turtle.

Song Wenyu frowned, always remembering that he was a "dumb" now, so he turned his head away and chose to ignore the shopkeeper's scrutiny.

"This ...... It's not very good,", the shopkeeper took his eyes back and looked at Ah Jin ambiguously, "I still have to beg for a life in this inn, so don't embarrass me as an old man." ”

Ah Jinxiu frowned, he didn't expect this person to be so difficult, so he took out a piece of gold leaf from his arms and threw it in front of the shopkeeper. "If you are told to go, if you go back and let your master know that you have missed a big business, you will not be able to make a living in the Shen family."

The shopkeeper's face turned pale, knowing that he had understood, he hurriedly put the gold leaf on the table in an orderly manner, and looked at Ah Jin and nodded again and again: "This lady, please stop your anger, I will call someone to invite Shen Dalangjun." You wait a moment. ”

Ah Jin turned his head, ignored this snob, but walked to the door, grabbed Song Wenyu's arm, and whispered a few words in his ear. "If you are wronged, pretend to be dumb for a while, and Shen Molin will be there in a while."

Song Wenyu nodded, followed Ah Jin to the inn, and found a corner to sit down. The shopkeeper sent someone to the Shen Mansion to deliver the message, and when he returned to the counter, he saw that the two were already sitting in the store, he thought for a while, and finally decided to ask the back kitchen to fry two dishes for them. Ah Jin didn't say anything polite to him, tried it with a silver needle, and asked Song Wenyu to fill his stomach first.

Not long after the two of them finished eating, Shen Molin arrived. He stood at the door of the inn and swept around, but he didn't see Ah Jin and Song Wenyu, so he turned his head and asked, "What about the person you said?" Where are they? ”

The shopkeeper pointed to the direction where Ah Jin and the others were sitting, feeling a little apprehensive. Listening to the lady's tone, it seems that she is an old acquaintance with Shen Dalangjun, but how do you feel that Shen Dalangjun doesn't know her at all?

Shen Molin turned his head sideways, just in time to see Ah Jin and Song Wenyu also looking at him. It's just that these two people are disguised at the moment, and unless he has sharp eyes, there is no way to see them at a glance.

Shen Molin stood in place, looked at the man and the woman, and then hesitantly stepped forward and said, "You two...... He who let the treasurer come and deliver the message. ”

"Exactly."

Ah Jin said, turning his palm open to show him, Shen Molin looked at the thing in her palm, and his expression immediately became a little solemn, "My eldest sister, where is she." ”

Shen Molin sat with them and asked in a low voice. Ah Jin was stunned, but she didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Shen Molin blurted out this unspeakable title, she was moved in her heart, and looked at Shen Molin's gaze more gently.

I am.

Ah Jin wrote these three words on the table with tea and erased them with one hand.

Shen Molin looked up at her, there were faint tears in his eyes, but he said a few words on his lips. "Since it's an old acquaintance, please follow me into the Shen Mansion."

With that, Shen Molin stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Ah Jin and Song Wenyu.

Ah Jin and Song Wenyu both bowed slightly at Shen Molin, and then followed him to the outside of the inn. The shopkeeper stood at the counter and watched all this silently, and couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat secretly.

Fortunately, my brain turned quickly, and I didn't lose face on the spot, and then I did some remedial measures. Otherwise, I would really like what the little lady said, I would be helpless for the rest of my life, and I would not be able to work in the Shen family's shop.

……

When Shen Molin led Song Wenyu and Ah Jin into the Shen Mansion, he deliberately let them go through the back door, and he entered through the main gate. The three of them met in the side hall for a while, and Shen Molin no longer hid the excitement in his heart. "Eldest sister, I didn't expect you to really come to Jinling."

Ah Jin smiled, first looked at the environment around this room, and with a slight wave of his hand, he used his internal force to seal the movement of this room. Only then did he reach out and remove the mask on his face, and helped Song Wenyu take off the mask as well.

Along the way, the two didn't dare to take off their masks even if they were resting, and now they finally arrived at a relatively safe place to stay, and it has become their greatest wish to let their facial skin breathe.

"Brother-in-law." Shen Molin was not surprised by Song Wenyu's arrival. Before the two of them entered Jinling City, the pigeons of Tongtian Pavilion had already sent a message to the Shen Mansion.

Song Wenyu nodded to him and sat aside. This is Ah Jin's maiden home, so he naturally can't dominate the guests.

"Did the pigeon tell you what happened to me and your brother-in-law a while ago?" Ah Jin also sat down, took a sip of tea, and asked softly.

Shen Molin's face was embarrassed, and he was silent for a while before he said: "This matter is a long story, when the 'pigeon' came to deliver your message, we already knew the news that the embankment in Huainan County had burst again. At present, the entire counties in the basin below Huainan County have received orders from the royal capital to go all out to find King Runhe ...... and brother-in-law. ”

Shen Mojin was stunned for a moment, only feeling that this approach was too blatant. Where are they looking for people, they are clearly trying to kill people and kill people.

"Who gave the order?"

Subconsciously, Ah Jin didn't think that this was something that the emperor could do.

"It's the Prince."

"Oh, that's right." This answer was both expected and unexpected by Ah Jin. She didn't understand why today's saint, such a suspicious and power-loving person, could turn a blind eye to the prince's behavior.

If Xiao Wusheng is a fool, it can be explained, but he is not. There were so many things she couldn't figure out, but she didn't have time to think about them. "So, your brother-in-law's portrait has been distributed all over the country?"

"Yes." Shen Molin lowered his eyelids and didn't look at Song Wenyu's ugly face. Actually, he still has some sympathy for this brother-in-law. Today, the prince said that he was looking for someone, and this kind of behavior didn't treat Song Wenyu as a wanted criminal.

It's so deceitful.

Ah Jin, on the other hand, was not so angry. She held her chin with one hand and thought for a while before turning her head sideways to look at Song Wenyu and said, "Now the Song Mansion must be in a mess, if the movement is really so big, I believe that the Song Mansion must be under surveillance now." However, before I came, Mrs. Song had already taken Song Li to the Great Compassion Temple. It depends on whether Mrs. Song will care about the chaos, and rush back to the Song Mansion as soon as possible. ”

Song Wenyu didn't speak, because the things he wanted to consider were all said by Ah Jin. Ah Jin said this, and looked at Shen Molin again and said, "You don't have to worry here, I have a stand-in in the king." In their opinion, 'Shen Mojin' did not leave the royal capital at all. By the way, in addition to King Run and Song Wenyu, have the other accompanying missing people also posted notices. ”

"Exactly, after I received the news, I thought you might be able to use it, so I compiled a list." As he spoke, Shen Molin took out a folded list from his sleeve and handed it to Ah Jin.

Ah Jin opened it first and glanced at it, and then handed it to Song Wenyu. After Song Wenyu read it, there were also the names of Huairen and Lu Qing on it, and he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow. Seeing that his face was worried, Ah Jin gently covered his hand and said, "The names are in this list, which means that the prince has not found them yet." ”

"Hmm." Song Wenyu also knew that Ah Jin was trying to comfort him, so he didn't tell him about the danger, but just reported the good news and not the bad news.

Shen Molin looked the two of them back and forth, and suddenly coughed lightly. Ah Jin knew that he had something to say, so he looked at him.

"That, my father heard the news of his brother-in-law's disappearance a few days ago, and he fell ill in a hurry. Fortunately, not long ago, the people of Tongtian Pavilion sent a letter of peace again, and his old man has been waiting for his eldest sister and brother-in-law. ”

Shen Molin's words were half said, and half of them were left. They are all smart people, and what is the purpose of so much for him to lay down so much in the way of nature. Because it was Ah Jin's family matter, Song Wenyu didn't say anything, just looked at Ah Jin.

Seeing that she bowed her head and didn't speak, he followed Ah Jin's previous example and held her hand behind his back. Ah Jin looked up at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled, with a little relief in his smile.

"Well, when I freshen up, you can take me to him."

Shen Molin was overjoyed when he saw Ah Jin relieved. Previously, the doctor had always said that Shen Wanqian's body was always not good, and it was caused by heart disease. The father's biggest heart disease is naturally the Yun mother and daughter. Now that the Yun clan is no longer alive, this knot can only be untied by Ah Jin.

Ah Jin sighed softly when he saw that Shen Molin had already gone to arrange a place for them. Along the way, Ah Jin said a lot about the grievances between the Yun family and the Shen family, and he didn't expect Ah Jin to choose to let go.

Song Wenyu admired Ah Jin's bearing, but he was a little distressed. "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"To tell you the truth, going through this experience with you is the first time I have passed the ghost gate since I grew up so much," Ah Jin will take it back, looked at Song Wenyu and said: "After experiencing life and death, some things will naturally be let go." Furthermore, if you talk about bitterness, I think it is bitter for Mo Lin and Mo Jin's mother to marry into the Shen family. But Mo Lin didn't hold a grudge against me and my mother because of this, and my younger brother could do it to such an extent, so why should I, my sister, hold on to it. ”

When Song Wenyu heard this, he nodded in agreement. "That's true."

"There is one more thing, I want to discuss it with you," Ah Jin took Song Wenyu's hand and thought for a long time before saying, "If you agree, I will contact Tongtian Pavilion tomorrow." ”

Song Wenyu was stunned for a moment and did not rush to answer. His attitude towards Tongtian Pavilion is complicated, after all, judging from the various evidence he and Luo Teng have, Tongtian Pavilion must be inseparable from the murders that occurred in the inner city.

However, the power of the Tongtian Pavilion is vast, and he has also heard of it, and now if he wants to return to the royal capital safe and sound, he can only use the power of the Tongtian Pavilion. In addition, Ah Jin was originally a person from Tongtian Pavilion, which made his firm attitude sway.

Seeing that he was silent, Ah Jin felt a little uncomfortable, but he could also understand it. "You don't have to rush to give me an answer, just think it through and then talk to me. If you are not willing to accept the help of the Tongtian Pavilion, I can bring you back to the royal capital by myself. ”

Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin's serious eyes, reached out and touched her hair bun and said, "I know you have this ability, but you don't need to wronged yourself for me." ”

Ah Jin's eyes lit up, and he grabbed his arm with both hands. "So, you promised me to contact Tongtian Pavilion?"

Song Wenyu didn't answer positively, only said, "You are not Dayu, how can you pass through the door three times without entering." ”

Ah Jin looked at Song Wenyu with a smile, but it was just a harmless accommodation, which made her happy like this. Song Wenyu reached out and gently flicked her head. "You're so easily satisfied."

"So I'm very good to raise, don't dislike me. If you don't want me one day, you'll regret it. Ah Jin smiled, and then happily followed the maid of the Shen Mansion to other rooms to dress up.

Since he wanted to see Shen Wanqian, he couldn't dress up in rags like this, Shen Molin was worried that his father would feel distressed when he saw it, which was not conducive to his condition.

That night, Shen Molin arranged for Song Wenyu and Ah Jin to live in a chic courtyard in the Shen Mansion.

"If the eldest sister needs anything, she can directly talk to the scary person who is arranged here. There are not many people in this courtyard, but they are all trustworthy. Before leaving, Shen Molin explained to Ah Jin.

"Well,", Ah Jin has always been relieved about Shen Molin's arrangement, "By the way, when I went to visit Shen Yuanwai today, I took his pulse by the way." Now his pulse is quite stable, and after a period of rest, he should be able to recover. ”

When Shen Molin heard this, a slightly relaxed expression finally appeared on his face. "I think it was my father who saw the eldest sister standing in front of him intact, and the illness got better so quickly."

In this regard, Ah Jin just smiled and did not say anything. "By the way, since Shen Yuan is sick in bed, has Miss Shen ever come to visit?"

"No," Shen Molin pursed his lips, and some loss crossed his eyes, "It was my father who didn't let her come, for fear of extraneous branches." ”

"Are you afraid of bumping into me?" Ah Jin has always been delicate and sensitive, but Shen Molin just mentioned this, and she thought of the crux of the problem.

Shen Molin didn't know what to say, and was silent for a while before he said, "It's not all about this. She was so foolish before, and her father was really disappointed in her. ”

Ah Jin lowered his head and did not comment on this. Although she is also one of the parties involved in that matter, the intricacies of this matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

"You also advise the deep staff, it is difficult for a clean official to judge family affairs, how can there be right or wrong in this family, and how can it be said clearly. After all, a daughter is not a son, and a woman's heart is very small-minded and will hold grudges. ”

Shen Molin was a little crying and laughing when he heard this, but he also felt that it was such a reason, so he had to nod and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely persuade you." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw a little guy hurriedly running to his side and whispering a few words, Shen Molin's face changed, and Ah Jin nodded, and followed the little guy to the gate.

Ah Jin stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching Song Wenyu leave in a hurry, until his figure disappeared around the corner, and then returned to the room.

Song Wenyu, who had already freshened up in the room, saw Ah Jin come in, stood up and looked at her with concern. "Have you already met your father-in-law?"

"Hmm." Ah Jin nodded, took Song Wenyu's hand and sat down together. "I talked to Mo Lin at the door for a while just now, but he seemed to be in a hurry just now, so he left in a hurry."

"Oh." Song Wenyu answered and stopped talking. Ah Jin turned his head, and sure enough, he saw him with a pensive look.

"You don't have to think too much, we're safe here."

"I'm not worried about this, I just don't want to bother your family."

Ah Jinwan smiled and pinched his face. "Then you don't have to worry, you forgot, the prince didn't know that I sneaked out. I am a variable that they can't calculate, as long as we keep a low profile during our time in Jinling City, we will naturally be unaware. ”

"Well," Song Wenyu listened to Ah Jin's words, and the melancholy between his eyebrows lightened a little, "Besides...... If you really plan to contact Tsutenkaku, can you ask them to do something first? ”

"What's the matter?" Song Wenyu is a person who never asks for help on weekdays, and a sense of arrogance is like innate. Now that he lowered his posture and said such things to himself, Ah Jin naturally wanted to listen to him.

"Let them keep the peace of Wairn...... There is also King Run, who wants to see people in life and corpses in life. The crown prince cannot be allowed to find his trace before we do. ”

"Okay, I got it." Although Ah Jin saw Xiao Zhan fall into the rolling flood with his own eyes, he didn't quite believe that such a cunning and thoughtful person disappeared so inexplicably.

The two talked for a while, and then fell asleep in each other's arms. I was too tired to travel all the way, and finally had a stable place, so I naturally had to seize the time to rest and recover my strength.

……

Shen Molin hurried to the small door, and saw only one old woman standing by the door, and the look on her face was even more ugly.

"What about people," he asked, gritting his teeth.

When the old lady saw Shen Molin's expression, although she was a little scared, she still replied stubbornly: "The girl has already come in, and she is waiting for you in the small hall." ”

"Mama Shen, who gave you the right to assert so well?" Shen Molin rarely spoke harshly to the people in the house, and it was the first time that he had such a black face like today, and even the little guy who rushed over to report the news was frightened.

Mama Shen's body trembled slightly, and she knelt down in front of Shen Molin. "Young master, the old slave knows that he is wrong, but the old slave ...... After all, the old slave is the girl's nurse, and I really can't see her suffering. ”

"Suffering?" Shen Molin squinted, and knew that his twin sister must have made up nonsense to make the nurse who loved her feel compassion, he took a deep breath and said, "Mama Shen, you are very wrong when you think so. Although his father is strict, he will definitely not let his sister suffer outside. Do you say this because you don't believe your father, or do you not believe me? ”

"Young master, the old slave doesn't mean that, the old slave just ......" Shen Mama raised her head in panic, and looked at this young man who had grown up with tears in her eyes. His gestures are quite like Shen Wanqian's demeanor back then, and he looks more serious and cold than Shen Wanqian.

"Go down and rest first." Shen Molin didn't listen to her explanation, and walked straight into the small hall.

The little guy who followed Shen Molin helped Shen Mama up, looked at Shen Mama with some complaints, and said, "Mama is really confused this time, how can she do it against the old man and the young master." ”

Mama Shen wiped her tears and replied a little unconvinced: "How can this be done against you?" After all, the girl is the daughter of the Shen Mansion, and the old man and the young master broke her bones and tendons. ”

The little girl looked at the obsessed Mama Shen, shook her head and said, "When the girl was making a fuss about resisting and disobeying the order, and she wanted to marry that poor scholar, did you think about the old master and the young master?" ”

Mama Shen was speechless when asked, and what else to say, the little girl had already ignored him and left on her own.

Shen Mojin fidgeted in the small hall and waited for Shen Molin to come over, and when she heard footsteps from a distance, she stood up straight and looked at the door, and sure enough, she saw Shen Molin walking in in a hurry.

"You ......" Shen Mojin was still a little excited when she saw her brother for the first time, but seeing his indifferent expression, her heart was half cold, "You finally saw me once, why are you like this." ”

Shen Molin ignored her crying complaints, and just suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you listen to me when you come back in a while?" ”

"Isn't this my home? Why do I have to ask your permission to come back? Seeing that Shen Molin had such a tough attitude towards him, Shen Mojin's eyes immediately turned red again, "I heard that my father is sick, I want to come and take a look, do I have to go through your permission." ”

"Heh, my father is sick, and it's not a matter of a day or two, why did you just want to come over today?" Shen Molin laughed angrily, "Mo Jin, no matter how you mess around on weekdays, my father turns a blind eye, even if you disobey the order at the beginning, my father also responded to your request." If it weren't for the fact that you had done so many things to chill your father's heart, how could your father have made up his mind to let you ignore them in Hangzhou? Father doesn't want to see you yet, so you might as well go back. If one day, his old man's attitude has changed, and I will inform you again. ”

"Why?" Speaking of the beginning, Merkin tasted remorse. I regret that I shouldn't have listened to my father and brother, and I didn't want to marry into the Song Mansion, but I was kind to such a negative man.

But this remorse did not last long, and gradually turned into resentment. resented that his father and brother did not use strong means to stop him at the beginning, but now he uses strong means to prevent him from returning to Jinling.

The more Shen Mojin thought about it, the more angry he became, and he turned his head away and stopped looking at Shen Molin. Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Molin sighed helplessly and said, "Are you not going to leave?" Then it's no wonder I'm being rude to you. ”

"I'm not leaving!" Shen Mojin saw that Shen Molin was going to call someone to come over and put him out, so he quickly stood up and said, "Since I'm already here, why don't you let me see my father?" Just at a glance! ”

Shen Molin frowned, a little undecided. He thought of the heartfelt words that Riakin had said to him today, and suddenly felt that maybe Shen Mojin's sudden visit might be a turning point.

However, he couldn't believe Shen Mojin's words.

"After one look, you're leaving?"

Shen Mojin saw that his words were relaxed, and hurriedly said, "If my father asks me to leave, I will definitely leave." ”

Shen Molin looked at her pleading and looking forward to it, and thought to himself, it turned out to be the idea of fighting. He shook his head, only feeling that Shen Mojin was too naïve, thinking that if he was soft and hard in this situation, his father would really relent and let her come back.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to recover the water.

Shen Molin didn't puncture her illusions, but just persuaded her sideways: "Mojin, there are some things that have passed in the past. But it's impossible to make it all over again. ”

Shen Mojin frowned, too lazy to listen to Shen Molin's nagging, and responded perfunctorily: "Brother, I know." ”

"Okay, then you can rest here tonight, and I'll take you to see your father tomorrow morning." Shen Molin saw that Shen Mojin was not interested in continuing to listen, so he didn't want to say anything more.

After a few simple explanations, he left the small hall, and the rest of the things were naturally handed over to a trustworthy maid to take care of. Originally, Shen Molin wanted to go back to his room to sleep, but after thinking about it, he still knocked on Ah Jin's door.

The first to open the door was Song Wenyu, and Shen Molin suddenly blushed a little when he saw that he was only wearing a coat. "My eldest sister."

"Inside." Song Wenyu replied, but he didn't mean to get out of the way. Shen Molin thought that Ah Jin should be getting dressed inside, so he stood outside the door and waited.

After a while, I saw Ah Jin put aside Song Wenyu and came out. "What's wrong? What's going on? ”

"That...... Eldest sister, there is one thing, after thinking about it, I still feel that it is necessary to come over and remind you," Shen Molin looked at Ah Jin worriedly and said: "Mo Jin is back suddenly, when you and your brother-in-law are acting in the Shen Mansion in the past two days, it is better to avoid her." ”

Shen Mojin was stunned, although he had a lot of questions in his heart, he didn't ask. She sent Shen Molin out, returned to the room and sat opposite Song Wenyu for a while, and suddenly smiled: "You really can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night." ”

"Well, it's okay, just like Mo Lin said, just avoid it." Song Wenyu said lightly.

Ah Jin glanced at him and said angrily: "If it weren't for you, Miss Shen wouldn't be obsessed with the matter of substitution marriage." It's really a shame. ”

"I'm not a red face, let alone a disaster, I use words like this, and I'm not afraid of people's jokes." Song Wenyu replied solemnly: "It's not early, go to bed and rest." ”

"Okay." Ah Jin smiled and bent her eyebrows, and when the two of them were lying on the bed, she deliberately snuggled up to Song Wenyu's ear and whispered: "I'm a little sleepless, do you want to do something else?" ”

Song Wenyu's eyes darkened, and he was talking nonsense, but the movements in his hands did not stop. Seeing that he had already taken the bait, Ah Jin giggled and reached out to pull off the curtain hook next to the bed.
