Chapter 768: Incense Disappears 2
Bai Que was still selling Guan Zi with Lin Ruo in the Hidden Garden, and at that end, in the inconspicuous side courtyard of the Lin Mansion, Lin Qi had already seen the person brought by Bai Que - haggard, but pot-bellied, it was Lan Xin who had left a book to say goodbye!
Lan Xin was startled when she saw Lin Qi - although she knew that she would definitely see him when she came back.
"Young master, no, uncle......"
Lan Xin struggled with her bulky body and wanted to get up and salute, but she was quickly stopped by Lin Qi and asked her to sit down quickly.
Lan Xin, this beautiful lady who used to be able to calmly dance in the nobles, was an excellent steward in the wind and snow, but now she was sitting a little cramped on the chair in the room, hanging her head slightly, wringing her hands uneasily, not daring to look at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi clenched his fists, looked at Lan Xin's bulging belly like a ball, and only sat down in the right position for a long time, lowered his voice, but asked in a light-hearted tone, "You...... How could he come back with Bai Que? ”
Lan Xin replied in a low voice: "The slave maid left the capital and went to Yangzhou, because ...... Because of his figure, he rented a small courtyard in Yangzhou and lived temporarily. A few days ago, I heard the little girl who bought it back talk about the tune she heard in the boat on the Qinhuai River, and it turned out to be "The Legend of the White Snake", so the slave maid ...... I went and took a look......"
Lin Qi nodded, but found that Lan Xin had kept her head down and couldn't see his movements, so she replied: "Well, then, you met Bai Que?" ”
"Yes......" Lan Xin's body trembled slightly, and said, "Slave maid, slave maid heard about the young lady, so I begged Bai Gongzi to take the slave maid back to Beijing." The young lady has a great kindness to the slave and maid, and before she has time to repay it, she ......"
Lan Xin sniffed, her eyes reddened, and her voice choked.
Qin Huai is not as good as Jingshi, even if he knows the news of Princess Rong's death, he will not be like the capital, where many ordinary people are talking about it in the streets and alleys. In Yangzhou City, people talk about the most things. In addition, in order not to attract attention, Lan Xin's rented courtyard is a little remote, and she doesn't go out on weekdays, so she hasn't known about it, which is understandable.
However, she couldn't forgive herself, so as soon as she learned the news, she had to hurry back to the capital, even if she was about to give birth, and endured the bumpy road.
"Uncle," Lan Xin struggled to stand up again, holding her bulging belly, and cried, "The slave knows that she left the letter and left, and she never said goodbye to the uncle and the young lady, which is too ungrateful. The slave didn't dare to ask for the uncle's forgiveness, so she only begged the uncle to be gracious and let the slave and maid kowtow a few times in front of the young lady's spirit and ask the young lady for guilt. ”
"Please? What sin please? ”
"......" Lan Xin pursed her lips, but she didn't say what kind of crime she asked, "Uncle, the slave and maid are ashamed of the trust and promotion of the young lady, listening to Bai Ye, the house seems to have encountered a lot of trouble, and the slave and maid dare not boast, but if the uncle has a place where the slave and maid need to contribute, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the slave and the maid will not hesitate!" If, if...... The uncle didn't want to see the slave and maid again, so the slave and maid left by themselves after worshipping the young lady, and this life ...... I will never dare to appear in front of my uncle again. The young lady's great kindness, the slave can only ...... In the next life, the grass rank will be reciprocated. ”
Lin Qi let out a long sigh and sneered. Lan Xin has always refused to say what the crime is, but he doesn't need Lan Xin to say it, he also knows. In this matter, not only Lan Xin has to ask for sin, but he also has to ask for sin. After a long silence, he asked, "Why did you leave the capital in the first place?" ”
Lan Xin raised her eyes and met Lin Qi's gaze uneasily, then quickly retracted it, biting her lip and saying nothing.
Lin Qi refused to give up, and asked again: "The child in your womb, how many months?" ”
He is a big man, he is still young, and he has only seen Hu Yunqiu as a pregnant woman at close range, and he doesn't know medical skills, but looking at the size of Lan Xin's belly, he inexplicably wants to confirm something.
Lan Xin lowered her eyes, shook her head, and still refused to speak.
Lin Qi left her seat, squatted down in front of Lan Xin, pinched Lan Xin's chin, forced her to look at herself, and said, "The child is mine, right?" ”
A trace of panic flashed in Lan Xin's eyes, but she shook her head harder, and denied it: "No, no...... The status of the slave and maid is low, how can she be worthy of reproducing for her uncle......"
"You're lying!" Lin Qi interrupted Lan Xin's words with a low roar, "I've seen Sister-in-law Li pregnant with Liujia, looking at the size of your belly, it is clear that you are about to give birth!" ”
"No, it's not......" Lan Xin cried and denied, but compared to Lin Qi's resentful voice, her denial sounded unconvincing.
"The woman was pregnant for October, and now it is the middle of September, go backwards, count the days, and it is exactly ......"
"Uncle!!" Lan Xin suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Lin Qi's words, her voice was full of wailing and despair, and she kept shaking her head, "Uncle, this is the sin of the slave!" You, just forget it, it's the slave and the maid who are sorry for the master, sorry for the young lady, and sorry for the uncle...... The slave is willing to make up for it with anything and atone, even if it is the slave's life! But beg Uncle...... Don't mention it again...... Ahh......h
Halfway through Lan Xin's words, she suddenly hugged her stomach and cried out in pain, her face was pale, her breathing was short, and her whole person fell down weakly, twitching from time to time.
Lin Qi was at a loss: "You, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It hurts, ah...... Kids, kids...... It seems that I want to ......" The stomach throbbed for a while, so that Lan Xin couldn't even speak.
"It's not going to give birth, is it?"
Lin Qi watched Lan Xin bite her lip, as if she was trying her best to suppress the pain, nodded with difficulty, and suddenly became even more anxious.
"Quick, quick! Come on, come on, go find Wen Po, find Wen Po! ”
Lin Qi ordered in a mess, but this is a side courtyard, and there are few people to serve, and because Bai Que is here to find Lin Ruo, he didn't make a noise, and even sent out all the subordinates who were waiting, and now, there is only Mingrui, a henchman who has been serving him closely, and Leng Shu, who is on duty to protect him today.
Of course, the speed at which Leng Shu appeared was much faster than that of Ming Rui, but the attitude of obeying orders naturally made Ming Rui more obedient. This is not to say that Leng Shu's loyalty is debatable, but because Mingrui has been serving Lin Qi since he was a child, so he is absolutely obedient to Lin Qi's orders, but Leng Shu has been by Lin Ruo's side for five years, and he has developed the habit of considering Lin Ruo's safety first in everything - especially now, the news that Lin Ruo is still alive must not be revealed!
Therefore, Leng Shu not only didn't move, but also brought back Mingrui, who was about to go to find Wen Po.
"Cold! What are you doing here? Lin Qi's eyes were red, and he asked sharply.
"Uncle, it's inconvenient to invite Wen Po to the house."
Hearing this, Lin Qideng became a little sober, looked at Lan Xin, who was a little confused in pain, and tears of anxiety came out: "Then, what should I do?" What about Brother Li? Is Brother Li back? Or, why don't you hurry up and find Er, find Bai Que? ”
couldn't explicitly say that he was looking for Lin Ruo, so Lin Qi directly changed his words and said that he was looking for Bai Que. Bai Que is currently in the Hidden Garden with Lin Ruo, and if he is looking for him, it is equivalent to looking for Lin Ruo.
Leng Shu didn't have much expression on his face, lowered his voice, and said in Lin Qi's ear: "Why don't you take Miss Lanxin to find Bai Ye together, and let Wen Po go over there directly?"
