Chapter 22: Temptation
Lin Yuniang saw the attitude of the two of them, Aunt Feng couldn't count on it, she just hoped that she wouldn't make a mess.
"I think starting from the eldest prince's side, as long as the eldest prince defects, our chances of winning will be much greater." Aunt Hui gave advice.
Lin Yuniang shook her head: "It's not proper, the eldest prince is Erniang's internal son-in-law, and there is no need for him to betray Erniang." After thinking about it, "I think we can start with the books." "No matter how perfect the books are, there will be mistakes.
Aunt Hui felt that it was feasible: "Then who will steal this account book?" ”
The two aunts turned their eyes to Lin Yuniang at the same time.
Lin Yuniang had no choice but to reply: "I'll go, but Aunt Feng, there is a problem with the account book in your hand, so you should solve it as soon as possible so as not to leave a handle." ”
Aunt Feng agreed.
After a brief discussion, the three of them left the inn one after another.
.........。
In the courtyard of Qingshui Residence, Zitong was pruning a peony with scissors, and at this time, a subordinate hurriedly walked in.
"Madam, the two aunts and the young lady have gone out one after another."
"But anyone?" "Click" with branches and leaves to cut off the excess branches and leaves.
The subordinate knelt on the ground and trembled: "On East Street... Only... Lose someone. ”
The hand that prunes the flowers and plants paused, and finally threw the scissors into the ground, and the subordinates kneeling on the ground were almost out of breath in fright: "Useless things, you go down first, and report to me when they come back." ”
The subordinate nodded yes again and again, quickly got up from the ground, and disappeared into the courtyard as soon as he had been released.
"Go down too!" Zitong waved away a few girls around him, and walked alone to the small marble round table in the courtyard and sat down.
At this time, a slender and handsome man walked out of Zitong's room: "Heh! I looked away this time, and the country girl actually said that the two old women in the house were moved. ”
Zitong picked up the white porcelain teacup emitting white smoke on the small round table: "They don't have to be afraid, how are things going on over there?" ”
The man walked towards Zitong: "The matter has been implemented, just wait for the arrival of the goods in Jiangnan, and the whole thing will be done." ”
Zitong nodded: "The old guy is hiding it for the time being, otherwise you will be more troublesome." ”
The man sat next to Zitong: "Don't worry, I did this matter more secretly, and no one will know, but it's you, what is the purpose of that Qin Gongzi?" ”
Speaking of this Qin Gongzi, Zitong's unprecedented cheeks floated two lumps of red light: "Qin Gongzi wants to buy Mawei Mountain in the west, the old guy asked me to deal with it, and I went to the yamen yesterday to stamp and paint, and the matter is done." Strange to say, since the sudden visit of the two distinguished guests, the old guy did not know what was wrong, and actually had the intention of meddling in the textile workshop. Now all the workers of the textile mill are not doing what they are doing, according to the old guy's intentions all day long, if this continues, the Zhangjia Textile Workshop is afraid that it will fall behind. ”
"Don't worry, she won't be tossing for long." The man stood behind Zitong and gently kneaded her shoulders: "There are three people in the house who are clearly against you, what are you going to do?" ”
The corners of Zitong's mouth raised a cruel arc: "Since they are so anxious to find death, I won't stop you, you go to find Duofu to do this." ”
"What about the other two?"
"Don't worry, this meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and things naturally have to be done one by one, so that they can be proud for another two days for the time being."
"Makes sense."
.........。
"Little master, little master, have you gotten up? The second lady asked the slave maid to bring you a peach blossom cake, and the little young master ....... ”
In the afternoon, the sun was scorching, the maid Danzhu walked into Jinle Xuan with a plate of peach blossom cakes, knocked lightly on the closed carved door, saw that no one answered for a long time, and pushed the door directly into the curious room, and found that the bed in the room was very quiet, and it didn't seem like someone was sleeping on it.
"What are you doing?" At this time, Lin Yuniang, who had just walked in hurriedly from outside, happened to see Danzhu reaching out to pick up the bed curtain, and immediately stopped.
Danzhu didn't expect someone to come in at this time, so he was startled, and the plate in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".
"Lin... Lin Yuniang? ”
Lin Yuniang glanced at the weak-hearted Danzhu unhappily: "What are you sneaking into the room for?" ”
In order to facilitate himself, Zhang Yelin will go crazy and beat people when he enters the inner room, and he will attack him very hard, so after a long time, everyone has figured out his habits and does not dare to enter the inner room again, even if he is told to get up or something else, people are standing in the outer room.
"Thief, thief....!" Po screamed wickedly from the side.
Danzhu glared at Ah Bao on the windowsill resentfully, and looked at Lin Yuniang arrogantly: "The second lady asked the slave maid to send peach blossom cakes to the little master." ”
Lin Yuniang's gaze stayed on the peach blossom cake that was scattered in the underground fragments: "Since you didn't come in to steal things, let's go out." ”
Danzhu looked back at the curtain behind him suspiciously: "Little young master......." ”
"The little master is taking a lunch break, you don't leave here but you want to wake him up?" Lin Yuniang said this very easily, but she was actually very panicked.
Danzhu suddenly recalled the scene when the little young master went crazy and beat the person who woke him up to death, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine: "Still... It's better not to, you go and call the little master, I still have to go back and talk back to the second lady. ”
Lin Yuniang looked through the open window as she left the room in a panic and disappeared into the back of Jinlixuan as if she was fleeing, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really rough and careless, and if it goes on like this, it will be discovered sooner or later." She walked to the window and muttered to Po.
"Careless..., discovered, discovered......." Po followed.
"Found what?" The big red veil on the side of the bed was picked open from the inside, and Zhang Yelin suddenly came out of it.
Lin Yuniang, who knew that there was a secret passage behind the bed, was not surprised: "What else can you find, these days, you have quietly gone out of the secret passage under the pretext of taking a lunch break, which is estimated to have aroused her suspicion." "Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent Danzhu to tempt it.
Zhang Yelin smiled indifferently: "That's right, I'm also happy, and I don't have to make excuses wherever I want to go." "The most important thing is to be able to be your true self and not need to be so tired as you pretend.
"It's still my troubles to dare to love." Lin Yuniang turned around and kicked the broken white porcelain plate on the ground: "I'll call someone to clean up here." ”
Zhang Yelin leaned against the window with his arms in his arms, and didn't turn his head back: "It's not easy to go out recently, you should be careful." ”
"I know." She has done a lot of small actions recently, and everything is intolerable to Zitong, and I'm afraid something will happen in the next few days.
The next day, less than five watches, Lin Yuniang was called up by the old mother.
The sky was bright, and the old lady walked in front with a lantern, walking in good spirits, showing that she was in a good mood.
"Mama, I see that you are walking in good spirits, what is the joy of today?" Lin Yuniang asked curiously.
