Sun Ruolan took advantage of the Lin family's momentum to be used to the scenery outside, how could she stand such ridicule? was just said a few words by others, and Sun Ruolan's face became a little unsightly.

Thinking that she is also the daughter of the Lin family, these people ridicule Sun Ruolan at this time, don't they just look down on the Lin family? Lin Yingxin was so angry that she put the teacup in her hand on the table, but just as she was about to say something, Lin Yingxue shook Lin Yingxin's hand in private.

Lin Yingxin felt Lin Yingxue's movements, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Yingxue, but saw that Lin Yingxue was still drinking tea by herself as if she was fine.

"What do you mean you're stopping me today?" Lin Yingxin is also a person who can't stop things in her heart, after the banquet is over, Lin Yingxin pulled Lin Yingxue and said to send her home, in fact, she just wanted to know what was going on from Lin Yingxue.

Seeing Lin Yingxin's expression of eagerness to know the inside story, Lin Yingxue was helpless and wanted to laugh a little, "I sent someone to check on Sun Ruolan, the purpose of this woman marrying into the Lin family may not be simple, let's see what she plans to do first." ”

Lin Yingxue's previous arrangement for Lin Zhi to investigate has probably had a result - Xue Ji came out of Xunliu Pavilion, that is, the Qinglou where there are stunning beauties everywhere and ordinary people can't afford to go, I heard that there will be such a tattoo on the famous girl inside, as for what this tattoo represents, Lin Zhi has not found the answer for the time being.

As for the second thing, Sun Ruolan's identity is no problem, but Hui'er once stayed in Xunliu Pavilion, but later she didn't know how to leave Xunliu Pavilion and went to a green building in Cang'er instead, and then she 'happened' to meet Lin Zhengshang who was doing business outside.

It stands to reason that if a woman in the Qinglou finally gets out of the Qinglou, she must want to live a good life, and there is no reason to let herself jump into the fire pit again, so it can be seen that Hui'er must have an impure purpose, and if she thinks about it a little worse, even Lin Zhengshang's murder may not be inseparable from Hui'er.

But the most important point is that Sun Ruolan and Hui'er have both met with an old bustard.

This clue is particularly important - Hui'er, as a woman in the Qinglou, is not surprised to know those mixed people, but Sun Ruolan is also a young lady from the county order family, and there is no reason to be involved with these ninth-rate people.

Therefore, through the above clues, Lin Yingxue has sufficient reason to suspect that Sun Ruolan also entered the Lin family with a purpose.

Seeing Lin Yingxue's serious look, Lin Yingxue knew that Lin Yingxue must not be groundless.

"The fifth sister should be careful at home, if there is anything, come to King Jing's Mansion to find me at any time." Lin Yingxin said equally seriously.

Lin Yingxue patted the back of Lin Yingxin's hand, but smiled silently.

After arriving at the Lin family, Lin Yingxin continued to let the coachman drive the carriage in the direction of Jingwangfu, Lin Yingxue always felt a little uncomfortable after seeing the carriage leave, and it felt like someone was secretly watching her. It's just that she turned her head and looked around, but she didn't even see a single figure.

Could it be that she is too sensitive? Lin Yingxue turned around and entered the Lin Mansion.

……

Lin Zhengjie drank a little too much at today's banquet, and when he went home and waited for the maid to wash up, he fell asleep, until he was awakened by thirst in the middle of the night, and the person next to the pillow immediately got up to pour water for him, and he found that the person next to the pillow had never been asleep.

"What's wrong? Madame has something on her mind? After drinking tea, Lin Zhengjie also sobered up, so he asked with concern.

Sun Ruolan raised her head and glanced at Lin Zhengjie, opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she just lay down with her back to Lin Zhengjie, "It's nothing, the master will continue to sleep, and after a while, the master should get up and go to the morning court." ”

Although Sun Ruolan had her back to Lin Zhengjie, Lin Zhengjie couldn't see Sun Ruolan's expression clearly, but just listening to Sun Ruolan's tone, Lin Zhengjie could also tell that his wife was not in a good mood at this time.

"Husband......" Lin Zhengjie opened his mouth, but looking at Sun Ruolan's indifferent back, he didn't say anything more, just frowned and closed his eyes.

Sun Ruolan was a little depressed for a few days, Lin Zhengjie himself also had a lot of troubles, and after living in such a depressing atmosphere for several days, Lin Zhengjie finally couldn't help but explode.

"Who prepares this meal, it's these dishes every day, and the chefs in the kitchen won't cook other dishes!" was eating dinner quietly, but Lin Zhengjie suddenly threw his chopsticks on the table and shouted angrily.

The people in the room didn't expect Lin Zhengjie to lose his temper, and the few maids standing on the side were startled on the spot, while Sun Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and then reached out to clean up the mess in front of Lin Zhengjie.

"And you, who do you show a dead face all day? Did the Lin family treat you badly, or did I treat you badly?! After Lin Zhengjie saw Sun Ruolan, he turned the finger on Sun Ruolan in an instant.

When Sun Ruolan heard this, her body trembled slightly. She raised her head and glanced at Lin Zhengjie, there were already faint tears flashing in her eyes, but she couldn't hold back her tears in front of her subordinates, "You guys go down first." She clenched her teeth and whispered.

When a few maids on the side heard the sound, they immediately retreated as if relieved.

Soon there were only two people left in the dining room, Sun Ruolan and Lin Zhengjie.

Lin Zhengjie was angry, so he didn't speak, but his face was dark, and his chest was rising and falling violently, but Sun Ruolan had already turned her back and silently wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief.

Even though Lin Zhengjie was full of anger, when he saw this scene at this time, most of the anger in his heart had disappeared.

"What are you crying and crying, it's not like it!" Although he was still scolding, Lin Zhengjie's tone was obviously much softer than Fang Cai.

When Sun Ruolan heard this, she sobbed slightly and then turned around, "Does the master think that the concubine body has been a little abnormal these days?" ”

"What? What is on Madame's mind? Lin Zhengjie's question can be regarded as an indirect answer to Sun Ruolan's question.

Sun Ruolan wiped away the tears on her face and said with a wry smile: "Has the master ever paid attention to the current situation of the second room?" ”

Sun Ruolan's words made Lin Zhengjie stunned, "What situation?" ”

"The lord is busy with official business, so naturally he doesn't know." The bitterness on Sun Ruolan's face became stronger, "Since the third master entered, the business of the third room began to deteriorate, the third sister-in-law has no business experience, no experience in this area, only took over in just one month, I don't know how many things went wrong, how many shops have been lost." ”

"In this case, the third room naturally has no extra energy to take care of the second room, and the lord you have always been honest and honest, and the second room has no support from the third room, and the life is naturally not as good as before...... The concubine now has no choice but to try to reduce her expenses...... I may not have noticed that there are many fewer people in our courtyard......"

It's not just that there are a lot of people missing! After Sun Ruolan's reminder, Lin Zhengjie suddenly realized that not only had the recent dietary standard of the second room declined, but even his wife, who usually likes to dress up, is now only wearing half-worn clothes and ordinary jewelry......

"It's me who ignored these ......" Lin Zhengjie grabbed Sun Ruolan's hand with guilt and distress, "I also encountered a lot of tricky things in the court, so I neglected my family." Ruolan, you've worked hard for you this time. ”

"It's not hard." Lin Zhengjie's words made Sun Ruolan's tears that had just disappeared come up again, she shook her head, looked at Lin Zhengjie pitifully and said: "The concubine is from a small family, this difficulty is nothing to the concubine, even if it is ridiculed...... In short, the concubine is not afraid of hard work, that is, in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, I am afraid that the lord will also be wronged, and then reduce the expenses. ”

"Someone out there gave you a face?" Lin Zhengjie keenly grasped the obscure point in Sun Ruolan's words.

"No, don't think about it, master......" Sun Ruolan lowered her head a little uncomfortably.

Although the people in front of him didn't want to admit it, Lin Zhengjie obviously knew the reason why his wife was sullen these days.

"Ruolan, since you are married to me, I naturally won't let you suffer with me, everything in the second room will be the same in the future, you don't have to worry about the rest, just leave it to me." Lin Zhengjie frowned and hugged Sun Ruolan into his arms, looking thoughtful.

Sun Ruolan received Lin Zhengjie's assurance, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise slightly, but there was no smile in her bright eyes.

"Lord Lin, Lord Lin has worked hard during this time, and it is rare that there is nothing at hand today, do you want Lord Lin to go out and sit with the lower officials?" After the duty, Li Yong, the waiter under Lin Zhengjie, opened his mouth and invited him as usual.

If it were ordinary, Lin Zhengjie would definitely find an excuse to shirk it, but today Lin Zhengjie hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Okay, you lead the way." ”

Although Lin Zhengjie's attitude still seemed a little cold, when he heard Lin Zhengjie agree to go out with him, Li Yong immediately showed a look of joy on his face.

"Okay, my lord, please! There is a newly opened Xunliu Pavilion in the city, the girls in it are all first-class, and they only received ten guests that day, and the lower officials have been arranged for a long time to wait for this opportunity, it is rare that Lord Lin is interested today, we might as well go there to drink and eat......"

Li Yong said as he took Lin Zhengjie out with great interest.

Xunliu Pavilion is not very different from the ordinary green building - it looks more like an antique mansion here, with rockery and flowing water, cloister carving, all of which are exquisite and beautiful, if you don't know the inside story, you can't see that this is actually a green building.

After Lin Zhengjie followed Li Yong in, he couldn't help but be satisfied when he didn't see the kitsch of the ordinary Qinglou.

After sitting in the wing room, two women came in after a while, one of them held the pipa, the other held the guqin, and the smile was with the demeanor of a small jasper, Lin Zhengjie had always looked down on those Qinglou women, but after seeing these two women today, his mood, which had always been as stable as a rock, began to waver a little.
