At that time, Lin Ruo had roughly sorted out the affairs of the Lin family in Jinling, and it just so happened that Yun Niang's illness had also recovered, and Lin Qian was just right. After discussing with Li Yan, Lin Ruo decided to ask Lin Qian to verify the reason for the incident.

In the priceless rosewood study, Lin Ruo and Lin Qian sat opposite each other, and Li Yan sat beside Lin Ruo. The aroma of rosewood makes people calm down, but after listening to Lin Ruo's narration of the past of the Lin family in Jinling, Lin Qian's heart couldn't calm down.

"You...... How do you know these things? ”

Surprised, bewildered, unbelievable. These expressions appeared on Lin Qian's face, which made Lin Ruo a little unexpected.

"Huai Jin also knows?"

Lin Qian turned to Li Yan and asked in surprise.

Li Yan didn't hide it and nodded: "Yes." ”

The expression on Lin Qian's face was extremely complicated, looking at Lin Ruo and Li Yan, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything after all, he held his forehead with his hand, and his face was like ashes.

Such an unexpected reaction made Lin Ruo feel at a loss, and began to reflect on whether he had done something wrong.

"Uncle, don't do this."

Lin Qian's health is not good, and his emotions can't be drastic, Lin Ruo's eyebrows are frowned, and he persuades him.

"Uncle, if Ah Ruo does something wrong, you can punish me......"

Lin Qian didn't speak for a long time, which made Lin Ruo feel uneasy.

"Uncle......

"Uncle Lin, the reason why Ah Ruo went to investigate this matter is because we accidentally found out that this matter is related to Xiaoxi's death. Ah Ruo originally wanted to ask you directly, but it has been delayed for various reasons. ”

Li Yan glanced at Lin Ruo, signaled her to be relieved, turned his head to Lin Qian, and said respectfully: "Uncle Lin, you know Ah Ruo's character and personality best. Xiaoxi's death is a dead knot in her heart. If you know anything, be sure to tell her that Ara is now an adult who can take charge of herself. It is better to speak clearly to her, so that she does not think crankily or act recklessly and make mistakes. ”

Lin Qian raised his head, glanced at Li Yan, and then turned his gaze to Lin Ruo, for a long time, he didn't say a word.

"Uncle Lin, if you have any scruples, the little nephew will retire first."

Li Yan got up neatly, and bowed to Lin Qian to retire with a few thoughtful salutes, without showing that he was dissatisfied at all.

Lin Qian never spoke, until Li Yan opened the door of the study without stopping, and most of his body was already out of the study, then he said in a hoarse voice: "No need. ”

Li Yan's movements froze, and he turned around, looking at Lin Qian with an uncertain inquiry in his eyes.

"Stay, with Arro."

Lin Qian spoke again, saying that he would let Li Yan stay and listen with Lin Ruo.

After getting the letter, Li Yan didn't deliberately push back, closed the door of the study, sat down again, and waited patiently for Lin Qian to speak.

Lin Qian's whole person looked a little depressed, as if he had suddenly aged a lot. I just kept this posture motionless, as if I was in a fixed position.

After a long time, he slowly raised his eyelids, looked at Lin Ruo, and asked, "Really, it has something to do with Axi's death?" ”

Lin Ruo nodded solemnly: "Yes." ”

After a long silence, Lin Qian continued to ask, "How do you know this?" ”

The "these" that Lin Qian refers to are all that Lin Ruoli knows - including the Jinling Lin family and their relationship, including the tragedy of the Jinling Lin family, and the matter of Qu Lianyang.

"It started a year ago. When Brother Li and I returned from the north, we passed through Pingyu County and met a group of local bandits. Later, I learned that they were the old guards of the Qu family, that is, the grandmother's former guards, Qi Shuiwei. ”

Lin Ruo told Lin Qian everything he saw and heard in the Storm Village, especially Han Shizheng, the former general of Qi Shuiwei who revealed the truth of the past.

Of course, Lin Qian is worried, Lin Ruo avoids the important and lightly carries the dangers in it, but how does Lin Qian not know the character of his niece? Although there is no newborn calf who is not afraid of the recklessness of the tiger, it is obviously appropriate to "praise" the boldness of the artist.

"Mr. Han said, my grandmother and I are seven points similar, especially in temperament. However, I have never heard you mention anything about your grandmother, and my sister has never told me, so I am not sure whether this is true or not, so I ......"

"So, you went to check it out privately?"

Stunned by Lin Qian's solemn tone of accountability, Lin Ruo immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Uncle, this matter is indeed that I am too reckless. If his uncle wants to punish him, Ah Ruo will never complain. ”

Lin Qian took a breath and pointed his finger at Lin Ruo, but finally lowered his hand, sighed heavily, and said dejectedly after a while: "What's the use of punishing you?" You don't even know how much trouble you're going to do if this is exposed......"

It was Lin Qian who Lin Ruo had never seen before, depressed, vicissitudes, as if the sky was about to fall, and his heart was like ashes.

Lin Ruo looked at Lin Qian nervously, his heart beating like a pound, fast and dense.

In the sandalwood fragrance that filled the air, a hint of uneasiness began to spread.

What kind of person is it, and what kind of disaster will it be, that makes Lin Qian so worried?

"Uncle......

Lin Ruo opened his mouth, Lin Qian waved his hand, took a deep breath, and said for a long time before he said, "Huai Jin is right, and you are not entirely to blame for this matter." If I had said it earlier, you wouldn't have ventured......"

The matter of Qu Lianyang and the Lin family in Jinling, since Lin Qian learned about it, has been buried deep in his heart for decades, and he has never mentioned it to anyone.

These two things, especially his mother Qu Lianyang, is the fifth lady of the Qu family, the involvement is too wide, if it is leaked out, it will not only be the Lin family and the Qu family that will be implicated, but also the royal family and the court, which will cause a huge shock!

Who would have thought that the maiden family of the current Empress Dowager, the Qu family, who has two families and 400,000 southern border troops, committed the unforgivable crime of bullying the monarch as early as a few decades ago!

The fifth lady of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, who was supposed to enter the palace for the draft, made a private agreement with someone for life, eloped and fled, the third lady of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, and now the queen mother of the dynasty, concealed the truth of the matter together with the Qu family, and helped the wayward fifth lady to "die", so that she could live and fly with her beloved.

Throughout the ages, such bold things have not been uncommon. But the difference is that the third lady, who was wise and brave and kept everything hidden, finally became the queen of the first emperor, and after her own son ascended the throne, she became the queen mother and the most noble woman in the world!

Once Qu Lianyang's matter is revealed, it will definitely be a scandal that shocks the world for the royal family!

People in the world will criticize the queen mother, the emperor, and even the crown prince and all the princes, no matter how many great achievements the one on the throne has, this stain will always be with them.

If it is light, it will be recorded in detail by the historian, and the people of future generations will be laughed at; Worst of all, people with different intentions rose up and sparked a rebellion in the name of the moral high ground. Such a serious consequence would not be taken by anyone with normal thinking.

Therefore, when Lin Ruo investigated these, he was cautious and did not dare to be sloppy.

But this matter is related to the death of my sister Gu Manxi.
