Within two days, Tong Dacai went to Sweet Water Lane exhausted. The investigation was proceeding in an orderly manner as he had envisioned, but the new information found was a little panicked.

“…… It was hired by a few idle gangs outside the city, two of whom were surnamed Hu, but they said in unison that Xiang Liu was not killed by them, they only received twenty taels of silver, and were only responsible for transporting Xiang Liu's body back and hanging it on the door of the restaurant, and the slave promised a hundred taels of silver, and said that they would let the two brothers live, and they spit out that the employer was an old woman surnamed Xiao, and the one who attacked Xiang Liu was called Niu Laoba, and the other was named Xu Qing, all of whom were refugees who fled from Youzhou. After Xiang Liu's death, the two of them took the money and rolled up the quilt and ran away. ”

"The slave thinks if the Xiao family in Whitewater Town will do it, but we have no grudge against him?"

Lin Mei was full of thoughts, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Qiming had come to deliver New Year's gifts a few years ago, and she was a little confused.

After a while, she came back to her senses, Tong Dacai was still waiting for her to make an idea, and thought about it: "I can't think of who this Xiao Pozi is for a while, and the Hu family brothers have seen me, so let's describe the appearance of that Xiao Pozi, I don't believe that this person has the ability to escape from heaven and earth?" ”

This was with Tong Dacai, who wanted to go together, smiled and responded "yes", and then Tong Fugui, who came to pay respects, left together.

Tong Fugui didn't care about his cousin's errand, but now there is such a big movement, although the guys are told to keep their mouths shut, but after all, a person died, and he almost hung on the door of the restaurant, which is not a good thing!

Tong Fugui, as the chief manager, naturally has someone secretly communicated.

He couldn't help frowning slightly, looked left and right at no one around, and asked in a low voice, "But that matter has eyebrows." ”

"Which thing?" Tong Dacai was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be stupid and said: "Master Shen let the eldest son take over all the chores in the family, and the girl of the Shen family is also engaged to his uncle's cousin. Speaking of this, he also said with a lewd face: "I heard that the good concubine of Na Xinna had a leg with the eldest son before she entered the door, and I don't know if it's true." ”

Tong Fugui saw that there was no truth in his mouth, his deep eyes were filled with a hint of melancholy, and he was still hiding it from him, which showed that this matter was extremely important. looked back at the Lin Mansion, and I don't know what big things she had done this time, and whether she could turn evil into good fortune in the end. But he didn't know anything about it, let alone reach out to help.

Tong Dacai only thought he was curious, but because of the urgency of the errand, he had no time to take care of him, so he didn't ask him what was going on.

Just because Lin Shan was going to return to Beijing in a few days, Lin Mei didn't go out, and wanted to accompany the bride Sheng Minghui at home, and she also intended to have a good relationship with her.

A good daughter-in-law, three generations of good sons, this family will have to be handed over to Sheng Minghui sooner or later.

Sheng Minghui saw that Lin Mei came back from Yishan Hall with a child without saying anything, and was startled at first, seeing that she was holding her all day long and not letting go as if she had come out, she couldn't help but feel a little nonsense.

Lin Mei is in charge of the family's business and usually runs out, so this can't be her son; It is unlikely that Lin Xi'er will be detained at home all the year round, Lin Tao and Lin Mo are the least and even more unlikely, then the most likely is Lin Shan, the only eldest son in the family, could it be that this is Lin Shan's son, but after thinking about it together, he denied it, feeling that Lin Shan was not that kind of person.

She held back for two days, she was really curious, and found a fine cotton in the dowry, so she went to talk to her sister-in-law.

She smiled and said, "Eldest sister, I don't have anything good to give to Brother Huai, but this fine cotton is soft, and it is the most suitable for making clothes for children." It's just that I've never cut clothes for such a big child, and I have to trouble my eldest sister to find a piece of Brother Huai's old clothes according to the size. ”

Lin Mei thanked Brother Huai generously, and asked Sixi to go to Xunhuanxiang to pick up Brother Huai's clothes.

In the face of the stronger sister-in-law, Sheng Minghui was full of questions, but she didn't know how to speak, and she looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, which made people suspicious.

Lin Mei had the heart to befriend her, so she naturally paid close attention to her every move, seeing her frowning, and from time to time she looked at Brother Huai who was sleeping on the mat, her heart moved.

The first thought that came to my mind was that she didn't want to have a son, did she? has just gotten married, will it be because of Brother Huai that she will be under pressure?

I couldn't help but think of the restraint of this world on women, so I was relieved, and said with a smile: "You just entered the door, and I don't know if Shanzi has told you about our family's ancestral teachings?" ”

"What ancestral teachings?" Sheng Minghui looked stunned and asked with concern.

"The ancestors of the Lin family said that a man can only take a concubine if he is forty childless."

"Ahh Sheng Minghui stood up in surprise, and then felt that this move was a bit rude, and secretly thought in her heart: What does this mean by sister-in-law? A man in the Lin family can only take a concubine if he has no children at forty, does that mean that as long as he gives birth to a son as soon as possible, Lin Shan will not take a concubine in his life?

Thinking of this, her neck was red, and before getting married, Mrs. Sheng specially chose two girls with a good appearance as a dowry, just thinking of being a sex envoy, and if she gave birth to a son, she would be raised as an aunt. Because they are newly married these days, the little couple is as sweet as honey, Sheng Minghui is embarrassed to open her mouth to Lin Shan about the room, and second, she is a little unhappy in her heart.

Thinking about it again, the Lin family had a very strict family education, and Lin Shan didn't even have a personal maid by his side before marriage, let alone a warm bed.

So no one mentioned the matter of the room.

When Leng Buding heard the eldest sister of the Lin family say this, his heart was even more happy, and he felt that Master Sheng saw the light well, and chose such a kind and friendly family for himself.

Thinking that he had misunderstood Lin Shan without a head or a brain, he smiled embarrassedly: "Our family still has such ancestral teachings, and Brother Shan has never told me." ”

Lin Mei saw that the expression on her face was active, she was shocked for a while, happy for a while, and instantly very guilty, and she didn't know if she would be wrong, thinking that she was only seventeen years old, and it was possible to be restrained when she arrived at her mother-in-law's house.

"Our family is relatively straightforward, we don't like to guess, after a long time of contact, you will know, if you have anything to ask, just ask, if you want to say it directly. Especially between the two of you, if one does not ask, the other does not say, it is easy to misunderstand, once or twice does not matter, but if there are many times, no matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, there will be a lot of estrangement. ”

Sheng Minghui didn't expect her to speak quickly, she really regarded her as a family, and her heart was full of emotion.

But after being moved, I was even more worried, the eldest sister is not young, although the in-laws have been set, but the marriage date has not yet been decided, this is not out of the cabinet with a child to raise, even if the fiancé values it, if it reaches the ears of the future in-laws, maybe there will be some trouble.

She thought for a while and said with a smile: "Brother Huai is likable when he looks at it, if the eldest sister is relieved, I want to take it back to the house to raise, if the eldest sister marries in the future and adds me a big fat nephew, I will bring Brother Huai to the door to be his companion." ”

Lin Mei was also big-hearted, and grinned and quipped: "While going, my brother Huai is not Zhao Di, I want my son to be born by himself, but Brother Huai is my godson, and if you want to beat him, it's not okay." ”

Sheng Minghui didn't expect to be teased, and mistakenly thought that she was in a hurry to give birth to a son, so she smiled. It happened that Sixi found two small clothes, and it was not easy to mention them again, so she immediately gestured and felt that it was inconvenient to cut anything in the Lin Mei House, so she simply went back to the east wing with her things, and promised that it would be done in a few days.
