Chapter 38 Inextricably linked

In Lin Yingxue's cognition, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song have never been generous and benevolent, and if people accidentally make any mistakes on weekdays, these two people will be even more powerful than Song Ziyan's methods.

But today, for Chang's mother to make such a big mistake, Mrs. Song just frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Okay, you are also confused for a while, don't let me see this dress in the future." ”

For the mistake made by Chang's mother this time, the old lady showed unprecedented tolerance, and after finishing speaking, the old lady turned her head sideways and said to the eldest lady beside her: "There are also juniors such as Zi Yan, don't let them be too ostentatious." ”

The eldest lady is such a smart person, originally she was a little like Lin Yingxue who didn't understand the old lady's abnormality today, but it wasn't until the old lady said what she said just now, she suddenly realized, "Don't worry, the junior daughter-in-law will go and warn." ”

"Hmm." When the old lady heard this, she nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to walk towards the outside of the courtyard as if no one was around, leaving Lin Yingxue standing alone, not knowing what was going on inside.

Chang's mother was involved in such a book by Lin Yingxue, so naturally she wouldn't have a good face for Lin Yingxue, and Lin Yingxue didn't care, so she walked towards her yard.

Without Di'er following, Lin Yingxue thought that her yard should be empty, but she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the yard, she saw an acquaintance sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, looking at it, it seemed that she was waiting for her to come over.

"Your Royal Highness? Why are you here. Lin Yingxue said hello and walked across from Murong Jun and sat down.

Murong Jun glanced at Lin Yingxue, but there was no usual light smile on his face, "I'm here to say goodbye to Miss Lin." ”

"Farewell?" Lin Yingxue was slightly surprised, "The Third Highness is leaving here?" ”

"Hmm." Murong Jun nodded, and said indifferently, "Didn't Miss Lin always want to know why I was here and lived in the Song family?" ”

Lin Yingxue didn't have much feeling in her heart about Murong Jun leaving, but she had always been curious about what Murong Jun had just said.

Yes, hearing Murong Jun take the initiative to mention it today, Lin Yingxue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked with interest: "What?" His Royal Highness is finally willing to answer my questions today. ”

Murong Jun smiled lightly and didn't refute, but just said, "This matter is a long story, Miss Lin, listen to me slowly." ”

Lin Yingxue saw that Murong Jun's expression gradually turned serious, and she also raised her chin and listened carefully.

Although Murong Jun is a prince, he has always been interested in court affairs. Therefore, I have traveled abroad for many years. And because the country of this dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, and the crown prince and the fifth prince are quite talented, so the current saint has not forced Murong Jun to take charge of the court, but has always let his third son do what he wants.

And Murong Jun came to this place once a year ago, and met a Xiucai by chance near here. Na Xiucai didn't know Murong Jun's identity, and after the two met, they only felt that the conversation was quite speculative, and they became friends after coming and going.

Murong Jun appreciated this Xiucai's talent, and saw that Xiucai's family was surrounded by walls, and he cherished his talent for a while, and wanted to help Xiucai find a good job, so that Xiucai could give full play to his talents and serve the court. It's just that he was entangled in trivial matters at that time, so he agreed with Xiucai to come back to Xiucai after three months, thinking that he would confess his identity again and help Xiucai find a good future.

But he didn't expect him to come to this place again a month ago, only to find that Poor Xiucai's house was empty, and after asking the neighbors around him, Murong Jun learned that Poor Xiucai suddenly disappeared for some reason, and there was no trace for two months, and his seriously ill father at home also passed away because no one took care of him.

And although Murong Jun has not been with Xiucai for a long time, he knows that Xiucai is an extremely filial person, and with Xiucai's personality, it is impossible to leave his seriously ill father at home alone, and there must be something greasy in this.

Therefore, in order to find out the truth of this matter, Murong Jun stayed in this small county town.

"What does the Third Highness mean that Xiucai's disappearance is related to the Song family?" Lin Yingxue didn't expect Murong Jun to stay in the Song family, there was such a relationship in it, and her impression of Murong Jun improved a little for a while.

"Hmm." Murong Jun nodded, his usual peach blossom eyes with a smile flashed a hint of chill, "As far as I know, two months ago, a nephew of the Li family was caught red-handed and imprisoned for killing someone, and Brother Wen disappeared at that time. ”

The 'Brother Wen' in Murong Jun's mouth naturally refers to the Xiucai whose whereabouts are unknown.

Lin Yingxue did not interrupt Murong Jun's words, but continued to listen quietly.

"According to the law of this dynasty, murder pays for life, and the Li family's nephew was sentenced to death, and later whether the Li family's nephew was really beheaded, I don't know for the time being, but after this case, Brother Wen never appeared again, and the Li and Song families, who had nothing to do with each other, suddenly began to have close contacts in recent times."

Speaking of this, Murong Jun unconsciously tightened his fists, obviously deciding in his heart that the disappearance of that Xiucai must have something to do with the Li and Song families.

"No wonder today's old lady is not willing to deal with Chang's mother because of the cloth, and she specially asked the eldest lady to restrain the behavior of Song Ziqian and others, presumably because she saw that the matter had not passed for too long, and she was afraid of attracting attention, so she didn't want outsiders to see that the Li family and the Song family had close contacts."

This can also explain why the people of the Li family are willing to do things for the third lady, after all, they owe the Song family such a big favor, and they should also express it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yingxue only felt that everything suddenly became clear, and the things she didn't understand before now had all the answers.

"It's just a pity that Brother Wen, I'm afraid that under the turnover of the Song and Li families, he dropped his bag with the people in the prison and became a substitute for the dead." Lin Yingxue said, her expression couldn't help but be a little cold.

"Yes, it's just that although I am a prince, in the absence of definite evidence, I can't blame the Song family in vain." When Murong Jun said this, he suddenly turned his gaze to Lin Yingxue, "And I received a secret letter today, and there are some urgent matters that must be dealt with urgently, so I can't take care of Brother Wen's case for the time being, but I think Miss Lin shouldn't let go of this opportunity to bring down the Song family." ”

Otherwise, he wouldn't have talked so much to Lin Yingxue today.

Lin Yingxue nodded, not hiding her disgust for the Song family, "Even if there is no Brother Wen, I will not let go of the Song family, but now that there is more of this bargaining chip, the chance of bringing down the Song family is greater." ”

"Not bad." The corners of Murong Jun's mouth hooked up a grim smile, "It's just that Miss Lin is alone, and there is no power to rely on around her, so it is inevitable that she will be a little powerless to do things, so I can also tell Miss Lin a shortcut - although the Ouyang family in the city is low-key, it is extraordinary, and it has always been a mortal enemy with the Song family, Miss Lin might as well take advantage of it, and it will save a lot of trouble in this way." ”

After saying that, Murong Jun got up and didn't stay any longer, leaving only one sentence: "I hope Miss Lin will not disappoint His Highness." Then a few of them left the courtyard.
