Chapter 299: Boudoir 5

Lan Xin only felt that her head was dizzy, and she couldn't figure it out at all.

By the way, Mrs. Lin also mentioned "The Legend of the White Snake".

Such a lingering love story, such an earth-shattering love between ghosts and gods, isn't it exactly what she yearns for?

She and Tang Yun, one is a Qinglou woman, the other is a romantic talent, and the gap between the two is not inferior to Xu Xian and the White Lady. Since they can be together, why can't she and Tang Yun?

As if a bright light flashed in the chaos, Lan Xin put aside all the distracting thoughts in her heart and cleared her mind.

Even if there are many people obstructing her, she believes that she and Tang Yun will eventually have a happy ending!

Lin Ruo, who left the Star Picking Tower and arrived at the gluttonous sea, didn't know that Lan Xin had drilled the tip of the horns, but even if he knew, he could only sigh in his heart, "Infatuated woman Bo Qinglang".

Li Xien was eating happily in the gluttonous sea, and when she saw Lin Ruo coming, she scratched her head and was a little embarrassed.

Lin Ruo glanced at him and said with a smile: "What, your father knows about it?" ”

Li Xien secretly glanced at Li Yan and nodded: "Xien didn't say it, but Daddy is too smart......"

Lin Ruo smiled, looked at Li Yan, and stuck out his tongue.

Li Yan didn't care too much, after all, Li Xien was frightened, and it was rare to make him happy. looked at Lin Ruo and asked in a low voice, "Messing up the water again?" ”

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Li Yan, Lin Ruo nodded: "It's a good deed every day." ”

Li Yan looked at Lin Ruo, smiled helplessly, thought about it, lowered his voice, and said the words: "Is it for Gu Mengyao?" ”

Lin Ruo lowered his eyelids and was silent for a long time before he returned a shallow smile and said softly: "Yes, for Gu Mengyao." ”

Perhaps, with the help of Lan Xin, she can completely come out of Gu Mengyao's shadow.

Li Yan nodded, changed his words, and said, "Ye Ling's letter was delivered, Xiao Sui sent it to the Lin Mansion, and I intercepted it, so Uncle Lin doesn't know yet." ”

Lin Ruo's eyes widened and asked, "Is there a result?" ”

"I haven't seen it yet."

After that, Li Yan took out a sandalwood letterbox from his arms and secretly handed it to Lin Ruo.

Ye Ling was a person who knew the severity and knew that this was Lin Ruo's private entrustment, so even if it was urgent, he never used the ebony letterbox, so as not to alarm Lin Qian.

Lin Ruo held the letter in the palm of his hand, bent his eyes twice, and unconsciously thinned, with a solemn expression.

Leakage, Rongwang's Mansion, Library.

The dim candle flame kept jumping, stretching the shadow in the library for a long time.

A valuable sandalwood letterhead was thrown on the ground, and the ruler book inside was burned.

Ye Ling said that the Shao Concubine was twenty years old, born in the family of Wupin Guozi Siye, surnamed Deng, and named Xin. With a beautiful complexion and an unrestrained and hot personality, she was quite favored by the Xishu Emperor, and even allowed her to meddle in the affairs of the court, which attracted the dissatisfaction of the courtiers. But even if they are dissatisfied, it is not difficult to say that they dare to be angry.

Why?

It's not that I'm afraid of the Tang Sect behind this Shao Concubine Niangniang!

As an official in the court, who dares to say that he is worthy of the country and the society, and he is worthy of the thousands of Li people? As long as there is a little bit of selfishness, it will be dug up by the killers of the Tang Sect.

There is a handle that falls into the hands of people, and it is natural to throw a rat bogey.

This approach reminded Lin Ruo of Dongchang and Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty. Unconsciously, Lin Ruo had one more guess about the origin of this concubine, "whether it is also from the future".

However, what made Lin Ruo care more was that this Shao Concubine turned out to be from a civil official family.

Concubine Shao's mother's surname is Tang, she was born in the Tang Sect, and she is the half-sister of the Tang Sect master.

If it is said that it is because the master of the Tang Sect does not like this sister, so he let her marry a literati who is powerless, Lin Ruo will never believe it. Rather than this, it is better to say that it is more convincing to marry this concubine in order to achieve a certain purpose. Otherwise, Deng Xin entered the palace and became Concubine Shao, and it would not be long before the Tang Sect was for her to drive, which was really unreasonable.

Although Ye Ling tried his best to investigate, the time was too short, and the other was worried about startling the snake, so there were not many useful clues obtained. However, Ye Ling also assured her that she would try her best to find out all the information about Concubine Shao, so she must rest assured.

For half an hour, Lin Ruo was like this, curled up with his legs, his hands on his knees, motionless, and fell into deep thought. Youcao didn't dare to disturb, and she didn't allow others to disturb Lin Ruo, who was thinking.

However, the grass can stop the servants and maids, but it can't stop the masters of the guards in the house.

A dark shadow suddenly appeared in the study, silent.

Seeing that Lin Ruo had been stunned and had never responded, Wu Yi, who was dressed in black, finally spoke up and called, "Princess." ”

Lin Ruo was startled, retracted his mind, and said, "It's you." What, what's the matter? ”

Leng Shu can stop others, but he won't stop him. This is the order that Lin Ruo gave him.

"I've disturbed the princess. However, the subordinates do have important things to tell. ”

"It's okay, just say it."

Lin Ruo moved his stiff limbs, did not get up, and still sat on the steps covered with a velvet blanket, without a trace of waves on his face, quietly waiting for the blameless reply.

"Yes. Previously, the princess had an order and ordered her subordinates to keep an eye on the clear ditch. ”

"But what did you find?"

"Back to the princess, the man who met Qingqu was Qingqu's brother Zhou Mo, who had no serious work and was idle. A few years ago, I owed a lot of money to the gambling house, and I kept asking Qingqu for money and wanted to pay off my gambling debts. ”

Lin Ruo frowned slightly: "Gambling house? How much is owed? The wages of the canal should not be enough to cover the gambling debts, right? ”

"The gambling debts totaled 8,600 taels, but someone helped him pay off the money."

"Who?"

"Lu Fan."

"The butler of the Lu Mansion?"

A hint of surprise quickly flashed in Wuji's eyes: "The princess knows this person?" ”

Lin Ruo smiled: "The Lu family is in Bian'an, but they are not ordinary merchants, they have a lot of money, and they rely on King Ye behind them. The Lin family and the Lu family are both businessmen, so they naturally know something. You continue. ”

"Yes. Lu Fan helped Zhou Mo pay off his gambling debts, but Zhou Mo didn't tell Qingqu and still asked her for money. The things that the princess gave to Qingqu during the New Year, including the gold bead, she also paid off his brother's gambling debts. ”

"Did he ask Qingqu to do anything?"

"Yes. He wanted Qingqu to steal the paper that the princess had written on weekdays. ”

"A piece of paper on which you have written?" Lin Ruo's face was surprised, "They want to imitate my words?" ”

"Well, my subordinates are guessing the same, but I don't know what they want to do. However, Qingqu has not yet handed over things to Zhou Mo. ”

Lin Ruo was silent for a long time, Qingqu had been in King Rong's Mansion for many years, and now she was her maidservant, and it was easy to get her handwriting. However, I've already got it, so why don't I give it away again?

"Also, my subordinates asked people to secretly search the room where the canal was cleared and found this."

Blameless handed over a small porcelain vase. Lin Ruo took it and was about to pull out the stopper, when Wu Zhi reminded again: "Princess, this thing ...... It's a little dirty. ”
