Chapter 40: The Return
In her previous life, Lin Yingxue knew that the identity of the forgotten words was completely due to coincidence, and the man in front of him with a bleak background did not end up very well, but after living a new life, the two people who had no intersection suddenly cooperated, and Lin Yingxue didn't know if the fate of the person in front of her would not change because of this.
"What's the matter with me?" Just as he was thinking about it, the man in front of him suddenly opened his mouth and asked coldly.
When Lin Yingxue heard this, she hurriedly cleaned up the fluctuations in her heart, and slowly spoke: "The Song family is about to fall, I plan to go back to the imperial city, do you want to come with me?" ”
She is now isolated, and when she returns to the Lin family, she will definitely encounter more dangers, although the situation of forgetting words is not much better than her, but in any case, there is still a group of subordinates under forgetting words, and this is the only group of forces she can rely on so far, although she may not be useful to get the place to forget words, but in any case, holding more hole cards in her hands, she will always feel at ease.
Forgetting to say for a while, he didn't answer, and the candlelight that was clearly extinguished danced on his face, which also made the man in front of him look more and more deep and unfathomable.
Lin Yingxue knew that this was a difficult choice for the person in front of her, so she didn't urge, just waited quietly on the side.
After a long time, the voice of forgetting words sounded again: "Why? ”
Why should he go back with her? Lin Yingxue smiled lightly, but her still immature face floated with indifference that she shouldn't have at her age.
"Because the Imperial City is the center of power, because the Forgotten Boy and the people I want to deal with are there." Lin Yingxue's voice was not high, but it carried a different kind of firm strength, "And in order to hide, the prince has been hiding in such a small place, when will there be a day of revenge?" Although there are many dangers in the imperial city, it is also the place with the most opportunities. If the boy who forgot to say that he didn't dare to take risks in order to save his life, then Ying Xue didn't say anything today. ”
After Lin Yingxue finished speaking, she didn't wait for her words to answer, so she turned around and walked straight out of the house.
And the forgetting words did not hold back, but he stared at the place where Lin Yingxue left for a long time, and there was a slight struggle on his face.
The recent Lin family is not peaceful, Lin Yingxue thought about it, originally wanted to go to the inn where Di'er stayed, but the sky-high fire in the city was too eye-catching, so she couldn't ignore it, so she involuntarily changed the direction, while walking in the direction of the fire, she hurriedly walked away, as if she wanted to rush to see the lively passer-by asked: "The place where the fire started is the Song family?" ”
"Not really! I don't know who did it, this fire has been burning for more than an hour, I heard people passing by say that there are killers inside, so no one dares to go over, this time those killers are afraid that they have already left, and the people in the city dare to step forward to put out the fire! Passers-by were busy watching the excitement, and after hurriedly saying this, they stopped paying attention to Lin Yingxue and continued to run away quickly.
Lin Yingxue looked in the direction of the fire, and couldn't help but remember what Ouyang Feng said that day: With the Song family's style of acting, if it weren't for the protection of the government, I'm afraid it would have fallen long ago.
Now because the Song family is about to end, so those who have been offended by the Song family have come to seek revenge at this time?
In the middle of this, I am afraid that only the Song family knows it in their hearts. Lin Yingxue thought about it on the spot, and suddenly lost the mind to watch the excitement, but turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the inn.
"Miss, the slave maid heard that last night's fire spread to most of the street, but it seems that only the people of the Song family are the worst, not to mention that the entire Song Mansion has been burned down, and there are all corpses inside! I heard that no one survived...... "Lin Yingxue has never been a person who drags mud and water, and she took Di'er on the way back to the imperial city the next day, and Di'er seemed to be immersed in the shock of the Song family being washed in blood overnight, so she sighed all the way.
"It's all retribution." After Di'er finished speaking, Lin Yingxue spit out these words in a flat tone, after all, her current strength is still very weak, and the reason why the Song family has suffered such a big change is more because of the accumulation of various things in the past.
As the saying goes, what causes are planted, what fruits are gained, so for such a big tragedy, Lin Yingxue can't sympathize with it at all.
The Song family was actually not too far from the imperial city, and it took less than five days to arrive at the imperial city under the unhurried journey of the master and servant.
As soon as she entered the imperial city, Lin Yingxue went straight to Lin's house.
Lin House. Looking at the plaque above her head, Lin Yingxue only felt that those two words were distant and unfamiliar to her. Since she was ten years old, after the death of her own mother, she was sent to the Song family, and she almost didn't want to think about the torture she suffered in those two years, but fortunately, she lived a new life, and the Song family also suffered the retribution it deserved.
Now, her next target is the Lin family.
Seeing Lin Yingxue standing motionless at the door, the guards guarding the door couldn't help but open their mouths and said, "Where did you come from?" This is the home of Lord Shoshu of the Ministry of Rites, you need to rest and find another place to stay! ”
Xu saw that Lin Yingxue was not very old and dressed ordinarily, so the guards at the door were extremely unpolite when they spoke.
Lin Yingxue glanced at the guards at the door lightly, not wanting to deal with this kind of subordinate who has always been bullying.
Yes, she just said coldly: "I'm the fifth lady of the Lin family, Lin Yingxue, don't you go in to report?" ”
The guard was taken aback by the fierce momentum that Lin Yingxue suddenly exuded, he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was indeed a fifth miss who was not very favored in his memory, but wasn't the fifth miss sent out two years ago? Why is it back now?
Although the guard had doubts in his heart, because of the momentum on Lin Yingxue's body, he didn't dare to ask more, so he only turned around and walked in quickly to report.
Lin Yingxue's sudden return really caused an uproar in the Lin Mansion, and the second lady Song, who had just been straightened up, came out to check in person under surprise.
"You ......" before Lin Yingxue's biological mother died, she was the second master of the Lin family, Lin Zhengjie's favorite concubine, and later the second lady of the Lin family and Lin Yingxue's mother died one after another.
Originally, she deliberately explained to her mother's family, and when the time was ripe, she would find an opportunity to solve Lin Yingxue, so that Lin Er's knees would not have a daughter to compete with her daughter for favor, and even when her daughter got married, she could get more dowry.
But she would never have thought that a person who was already a dead person in her cognition would be so caught off guard and appear in front of her openly.
"Why did Yingxue come back suddenly?" After a moment of surprise, she quickly suppressed the surprise in her heart and asked with a loving expression.
However, before Lin Yingxue could answer, the sound of wheels suddenly sounded behind her, "Auntie! With a terrible call, a weak figure jumped down from the carriage and almost knelt at Song's feet.
