Murong Chong believed that Lin Ruo didn't know that Song Huan Chu's identity was true at that time. But today, when he saw Song Huan Chu again, Lin Ruo directly pointed out the identity of the other party.
Of course, with Lin Ruo's smart mind, according to his mention of Prince Zhan's submission of his credentials to marry Gu Manni, it is not difficult to guess the identity of Song Huan Chu. But her performance was too calm, and she clearly knew Song Huanchu's identity early. Obviously, before this, she had conducted an investigation into Song Huan Chu's identity.
Lin Ruo didn't answer his words directly, and said without hesitation: "The prince doesn't know that all the Shu brocades purchased by Donglu from Shu were traded by the Lin family. ”
Murong Chong was such a keen person, and he immediately understood what she meant.
Shu brocade is precious, every inch of brocade is gold, so it is only for the royal use. And the Lin family, as an imperial businessman, naturally fell on the head of the Lin family.
This means that the Lin family's business has already been immersed in Xishu, so Lin Ruo can know the identity of Song Huan Chu.
Lin Ruo lowered her eyelids slightly, Murong Chong couldn't see her expression, he only listened to her continue to speak, but her tone gradually lowered: "That day, I deliberately went to the Gu family because I found someone following my carriage. I guessed that Song Huan Chu's status was noble, and I didn't want to get into trouble, of course, I also planned to bury a disaster for the Gu family. ”
Murong Chong sighed, looking lonely.
Lin Ruo once had what happened to the Gu family, although he didn't know the specifics, but he could guess a little bit about himself and others.
He has no blood relationship with the emperor, but because of his father's blessing, he grew up in the palace since he was a child. He was not qualified to inherit the throne, and he should have been no threat, but because he was raised in the queen's palace, he was considered to be a person on the side of the prince, and he was pitied by Emperor Mingzong.
Therefore, he could imagine how many sins a child like Lin Ruo, who had no imperial decree, no mother's protection, and no father's love, would suffer. Murong Chong didn't know much about the Lu family and Gu Manni, but when he saw Gu Manni today, he was even more convinced of the torture that the Gu family had inflicted on Lin Ruo.
How much courage does a six-year-old girl need to express her thoughts appropriately when she faces the saint? What kind of pressure do you need to endure to be poked in the backbone and scolded as a "bad girl", and begged for a holy decree to move her mother, who has been dead for many years, out of the ancestral grave of the Gu family, and cut off the relationship with her former husband's family!
Although Murong Chong didn't dare to boast of reading countless people, he could still see a person's character when he looked at a person's eyes. Lin Ruo's eyes are clear and fearless, firstly because she has a tough heart, and secondly, because she has a clear conscience. And Gu Manni's eyes were full of jealousy, dissatisfaction, and resentment, and no matter how much she disguised it, she couldn't hide it.
The reason why Murong Chong joined the army early was also for this reason - he didn't want to be too involved in these intrigues. He was a little glad that whether it was Wanyun or Lin Ruo, he met was not such a woman. However, compared with the ulterior motives of Wanyun at the beginning, Lin Ruo was more pure, pure in front of him, and never concealed his purpose and hole cards.
"Arro......"
"Lord Wang, thank you so much."
The two of them spoke at the same time, but there was more uncertainty in Murong Chong's tone, as if there was a sudden urge to comfort the frustrated little girl in front of him; And Lin Ruo finally managed to put away his emotions, and his tone was much firmer than his, and he even seemed to have a feeling of drawing a clear line.
Murong Chong was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Ruo's unconscious detachment, a trace of discomfort inexplicably appeared in his heart, and he didn't know why he saw Song Huan Chu's aggressiveness, so he subconsciously said those words.
Facing Lin Ruo's gaze, even though there were some waves in his heart, there was no change on his face, but he replied nonchalantly: "There is an agreement between you and me, and in front of outsiders, I will definitely defend you." ”
Lin Ruo raised his eyes, his gaze hesitated on Murong Chong's face for a moment, hooked his mouth, and seemed to smile: "That's right." ”
Murong Chong didn't expect Lin Ruo to answer so simply, and he was speechless for a while. looked into her eyes and held back a sentence: "I haven't slept all night, you should rest first." ”
Lin Ruo did not refuse, and nodded. Murong Chong summoned Youcao in, wanting to tell her to take good care of Lin Ruo, but Youcao took the lead and said, "Lord Wang, Miss, the bright moon cake to be sent to the palace has been prepared. Do you ask the prince to take it back, or do you want someone to send it back to the house? ”
Murong Chong's eyes were a little puzzled: "...... are you?"
Lin Ruo didn't have time to speak, Youcao preemptively explained: "Lord Wang, it's like this. Everyone in the house likes Miss's craftsmanship very much, so Miss promised to cook it herself every month to make everyone feast. ”
Murong Chong's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was the only one in the entire Rongwang Mansion who didn't know this rule.
Lin Ruo smiled shallowly: "I didn't tell the prince, it was my negligence." ”
"It's a little thing, you can make a decision." Murong Chong's face was pale, he stood up, and said to Youcao, "Let people send things to the mansion and hand them over to the old housekeeper or Tao Fu." I'll go to the military headquarters later, and I won't go home. ”
"Yes, the slave will go and command." The grass owes to the body.
Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo, who got up and stood up to send him out, and said warmly, "There is no need to send it." ”
Lin Ruo smiled, nodded according to his words, did not force it, and ordered Youcao to send Murong Chong out.
After Youcao finished sending Murong Chong and arranged for someone to send the Mingyue cake to the palace, he returned to the wing, but found that Lin Ruo was still sitting at the table, and Lao Qi was also in the room.
"Young Miss, the young master has already drawn up the rewards for the chef, assistant chef and guys in the store, I have taken a cursory look at it, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Lin Ruo's face was calm, and he nodded: "Xiao Qi is very smart, and with you to mention it from the side, nothing will go wrong." ”
"The young lady has put a lot of thought into the young master!"
Lao Qi praised him sincerely.
Lin Ruo had a meaningful smile on his face, his eyes looked at Lao Qi with blazing eyes, and his tone was light, but he was extremely determined: "He is the future head of the Lin family." ”
Lao Qi's heart jumped, and he immediately lowered his eyes, and responded: "Yes." ”
Lin Ruo's sentence can be regarded as a reminder to him, so that he can understand who should really obey his orders. Even if he recognizes her as a young lady, he must remember: Lin Qi is the real heir of the Lin family.
Lin Ruo has always been a person who does what she says, and she is also a person who will not care about the Lin family's power with Lin Qi, she can spend her time to create the largest gold nest in Bian'an City, and she can also hand over Xiangxuehai to Lin Qi without hesitation.
But this is the only one that is her reverse scale: anyone who dares to provoke the relationship between her and Lin Qi, she will not spare it.
Seeing that Lao Qi should respond, Lin Ruo did not continue to investigate, but asked calmly: "Shopkeeper Fu of Buzhuang, it's time to come back these days, right?" ”
"Calculating the time, it should be two days after tomorrow."
"When he returns, let me know immediately."
"Don't worry, young lady, I know."
