Chapter 218: Choice
Lin Yingling thought that with Murong Xun's departure, Lin Zhengjie and the Lin family would be fine, but she didn't expect that things would not be as she wanted.
watched the people of the court move away all the valuable things of the Lin family, watched the servants of the Lin family leave one by one, and watched the door of the Lin family being sealed...... Lin Yingling held Lin Yingsheng, who was still young, and it was not until this moment that she really felt that she really had nothing from now on.
"Miss, the carriage has been waiting for us for a long time, let's go first." The old grandmother, who has served Lin Yingling since she was a child, persuaded with tears in her eyes: "Anyway, we still have the Fifth Highness who is willing to help us, Miss must not fall, otherwise what should the little young master do!" ”
Lin Yingsheng is the only male in the second room of the Lin family, and he is the hope of the Lin family in the future, even if she dies, she can't let Lin Yingsheng be hurt at all!
"Let's go." Lin Yingling squeezed Lin Yingsheng's hand tightly, and a trace of determination flashed on her face.
Because of the haste of the incident, the house that Murong Xun prepared for Lin Yingling was not too big, but it was more than enough to accommodate Lin Yingling and the others.
Murong Xun came over in the evening, and when he came, Lin Ying was sitting in the room in a daze. Murong Xun has seen the arrogant and contemptuous Lin Yingling, the tantrum Lin Yingling, and even the vicious and indifferent Lin Yingling, but he has never seen such a sluggish Lin Yingling.
He stepped forward and gently hugged Lin Yingling into his arms, and he didn't speak, just hugged the person in his arms tightly.
It's just that Murong Xun's approach seemed to stimulate Lin Yingling, Lin Yingling suddenly pushed Murong Xun away, looked at Murong Xun coldly and said, "Why didn't you save your father?" If you can't save your father, why should you promise me? Oh, if I knew you were a greedy person who was afraid of death, I shouldn't have pinned my hopes on you! ”
Murong Xun frowned - when he went to ask the emperor, he had already angered the emperor, and the emperor almost became angry with him, and if it weren't for his plea, Lin Zhengjie's crime would definitely implicate the entire Lin family.
He saved Lin Yingling and saved all the Lin family except Lin Zhengjie, but the people in front of him not only didn't understand him, but also thought that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he refused to contribute.
Murong Xun's heart was faintly painful, but he never liked to explain to others, so he just frowned lightly and said: "The Lin family has suffered this drastic change, I know that you are uncomfortable in your heart, you can live here with peace of mind, if you need anything, just ask someone to tell me." What you had in the Lin family before, you can have it now. ”
I will not treat you badly, and I will not be reluctant, even if I know that you have lost your innocence, I still like you just as much. Murong Xun swallowed what he wanted to say and slowly turned around and left.
Soon after Murong Xun left, there was a crackling sound in the room, and it seemed to be vaguely mixed with Lin Yingling's abuse, although the people who were busy in the courtyard heard the movement, but no one dared to go in to check the situation, and finally Mama Zhang walked in.
"Ouch, my young lady, don't do this in front of the Fifth Highness in the future!" Mama Zhang walked up to Lin Yingling and persuaded bitterly: "Now that our Lin family is gone, the Fifth Highness will be the only reliance of the young lady in the future!" Now Miss can't be as petty as before, even if she wants to play, she has to wait for us to marry into the Five Princes' Mansion smoothly! ”
Mama Zhang's words were like a basin of cold water that instantly extinguished Lin Yingling's anger, she sat on the bed and was stunned for a long time, and finally collapsed on Mama Zhang's body as if she was deflated and cried quietly.
Lin Yingling's fragile appearance, Murong Xun, who had already left, could not be seen, and he returned directly to the Five Princes' Mansion after leaving the mansion.
"Fifth Highness, you're back!" Murong Xun had just arrived at the gate of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, and a shadow rushed out of the mansion.
After Murong Xun saw the face of the person who came, a trace of disgust couldn't help but flash on his face, he didn't look at the woman, he just continued to walk towards the mansion.
"Fifth Highness!" Seeing this, the woman couldn't help but flash a trace of loss on her face, but soon she adjusted her mood and continued to follow with a smile, "Where did you go under the Fifth Highness, why did you come back now?" Rui'er has been waiting for the Fifth Highness for a long time! ”
At this time, the woman who was talking behind Murong Xun was Shao Rui, the daughter of Shao Zongbing. Because he has admired Murong Xun for a long time, Shao Rui will come to Murong Xun twice in three days, so that now the subordinates in the Five Princes' Mansion see Shao Rui and basically treat it as air, allowing him to come and go freely in the Five Princes' Mansion.
"Something to talk about." Murong Xun's attitude towards Shao Rui has always been extremely cold, but Shao Rui is always keen on sticking a cold face to a hot ass, and he never gets tired of it.
For example, now, Murong Xun has already shown obvious impatience, but Shao Rui still said excitedly: "I heard that the Lin family has fallen, and the fifth highness is with that little...... Miss Lin's marriage should also be stopped, right? ”
Looking at Shao Rui's gloating appearance, the displeasure on Murong Xun's face became more and more obvious, but because of the power of the Shao family, Murong Xun still tried to suppress the displeasure in his heart, and replied coldly: "The marriage contract between the Fifth Prince's Mansion and the third lady of the Lin family will not change, if Miss Shao has nothing else to do, please go back." ”
After saying that, Murong Xun was about to get up and leave, Shao Rui was busy following when he saw this, but he was stopped by the little guy on the side.
Shao Rui glared at the little guy fiercely, and stopped unwillingly, but raised her voice and said to Murong Xun's back: "That third lady of the Lin family is nothing without the Lin family, what is the Fifth Highness still marrying her!" If His Royal Highness is willing to go to the Shao family to be hired, I will marry tomorrow! ”
Shao Rui's arrogant words almost didn't make the jaws of the people around him drop, and Murong Xun sped up and left as if he had heard something unbearable.
Murong Xun was still a little hesitant when he returned to the back of the study, Sun Mo knocked on the door and came in and handed a stack of letters to Murong Xun, Murong Xun took it and saw Sun Mo standing aside and wanted to stop talking, so he couldn't help but lightly open his thin lips and said, "Say." ”
Sun Mo knew his master's temperament, so he no longer hid it, but said directly: "My subordinates feel that what Miss Shao said today makes sense, the Lin family is useless now, if His Royal Highness insists on marrying the third lady of the Lin family and entering the door to be the fifth princess, it will be a waste of a good position for marriage." ”
As soon as Sun Mo's words fell, he felt a chill suddenly rise in his back, and he didn't even dare to look up at Murong Xun's expression at this time, "The subordinates are just talking nonsense, and the specific ones have to be decided by His Highness himself, and the subordinates will retire first." ”
After that, Sun Mo almost left the study as if he had escaped, while Murong Xun looked at the closed door thoughtfully.
"What do you say? Want me to do a side room? When the matchmaker came to say, Lin Yingling almost couldn't believe her ears, "How can I, Lin Yingling, be a concubine!" Is this what the Fifth Highness means, you asked the Fifth Highness to come and tell me in person! ”
Lin Ying's aura trembled, and her little face turned even redder.
"Heh," the matchmaker on the side couldn't help but smile disdainfully when she saw this, and said, "Ouch, you still think you are the noble third lady of the Lin family!" Wake up, you are now the daughter of a criminal minister, and you don't have a penny of dowry, if it weren't for the kindness of His Royal Highness Fifth Highness to arrange a place to live for you, you might be asking for food now! With your current conditions, do you still have the face to pick? It's good that His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness can ask for you, you are a little self-aware! ”
The matchmaker's every word was like a knife stabbed into Lin Yingling's heart, and Mama Zhang on the side was afraid that Lin Yingling would make some impulsive moves under anger, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yingling's hand.
Lin Yingling pinched Mama Zhang's hand fiercely, with hatred and unwillingness in her eyes.
Besides, the Lin family was sealed, and the people in the other rooms had nowhere to go, but fortunately, Lin Yingxue found that something was wrong, so she went to buy a house two days before the Lin family was sealed, but Lin Yingxin thought that there were still many things to arrange in the new house, so she asked Lin Yingxue to take the Liu family to live in the Jingwang Mansion temporarily, and when the new house was completely arranged, Lin Yingxue moved out with the Liu family.
And the situation of the Lin family's three rooms has been a failure as early as after Lin Zhengshang's accident, and now Lin Zhengjie has also fallen, and their orphan daughter and widow are in an even worse situation. Therefore, the Tang family pulled Lin Yingmeng to the door of the Jingwang Mansion and begged bitterly, asking Lin Yingxin to take them in, Lin Yingxin saw that the Tang mother and daughter were entangled outside the door every day, afraid of being gossiped by people outside, so she had no choice but to temporarily arrange the Tang mother and daughter in the Jingwang Mansion.
"What are these dishes! Why are they eating and drinking spicy food there, but we can only live in this small courtyard and eat clear soup and little water! Is she a dignified princess who looks down on people like this! It was dinner time, but Lin Yingling was shouting loudly in the dining room.
In fact, Lin Yingmeng's mother and daughter's dinner also had four dishes and one soup, which was completely enough for the mother and daughter to eat, but these two people picked and chose from the first day they moved in.
And this has also become the reason for the abuse of Tang's mother and daughter, "Those little cheap hooves are just like their housemother!" I don't see anyone all day long, and I dare to put on a face, I'm bah! I really don't know how many pounds and taels I have, a group of cheap embryos! ”
Tang's words were even more excessive, but fortunately, Lin Yingxin had the foresight to arrange the two far away, otherwise Tang and Lin Yingmeng would have been driven out by Lin Yingxin all day long.
"Miss, ma'am!" The mother and daughter were scolding vigorously, but Yahuan Ruzhen hurriedly walked in from outside.
Ruzhen is Lin Yingmeng's personal maid, she originally wanted to leave when the Lin family had an accident, but these two people hid her deed of sale to death, and she had no choice but to continue to follow the two.
"How's it going over there?" Under the eaves of others, there is only one henchman like Ruzhen left, and the attitude of Tang's mother and daughter towards Ruzhen is much better than before.
"Madame Hui." Even though the attitude of the Tang family mother and daughter is good, Ruzhen is still very careful when she talks and acts, "King Jing brought a guest back today, saying that it was the nephew of the Marquis of Dingshan, Zhou Qingshu and Zhou Gongzi, and now they are eating together in the front hall!" ”
