Lin Feng frowned, why did the eldest brother urge him to marry the Ye family so much? Lin Feng couldn't help but be a little suspicious, Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he pretended not to care and asked, "Big brother, could it be that you have met with the people of the Ye family?" ”

"No, I just heard about it." Lin Lang hurriedly denied it, and then looked at Lin Feng, "Feng'er, you don't have to refuse such a good marriage." After all, this is also the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and now that the two of you are in love, isn't it the best choice to get married at this moment? ”

Lin Feng was a little surprised when he heard this, Lin Lang was not at home all the year round, let alone in the capital, how did he know about the recent situation of the Hou Mansion and where he usually went. Lin Feng pondered, and first refused the marriage, "Big brother, I need to consider this marriage, after all, the imminent matter has not been resolved yet, and I have no way to get married with peace of mind." ”

"As long as you become a parent, everything else can be solved." Lin Lang's tone was a little anxious, but Lin Feng was not talking about it. Lin Feng picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "Where has the eldest brother been these days?" ”

"Where else can I go, now you don't need me to worry about it, I'm naturally traveling everywhere." Lin Lang said it very calmly, but he didn't know if what he said was true or not. Lin Feng had never doubted where Lin Lang had gone, but now one question after another made him have to doubt his eldest brother.

Lin Lang sighed, shook his head and said, "I really don't understand, what's wrong with this marriage." Obviously, it can help you solve a lot of problems, and the benefits of marrying the Ye family to the Hou Mansion are countless, why don't you listen to persuasion? ”

Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders absently, "Big brother, I don't want to take my marriage as a bet. I just want to find a beloved girl to marry, and as for Miss Ye, she deserves a better candidate. ”

"Forget it, since you don't agree, I won't force you. It's just that my words are to be put here, and you can weigh them yourself. It is not easy to divorce the Ye family, the Ye family has already made an appointment with their parents to marry you. No matter what reason you put forward, it is impossible for the Ye family to withdraw from the marriage. Lin Lang said lightly.

Lin Feng nodded absently, as if he had listened. Then he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Big brother, when you say that, I suddenly think of my mother." ”

"Oh? Something comes to mind. When Lin Lang heard this, his hand holding the teacup was visibly stunned. happened to be seen by Lin Feng, Lin Feng deliberately said, "I'm wondering how my mother died back then." After all, I wasn't in the house at the time, and I wasn't around when my mother died. ”

"Your mother died of a serious illness, so don't think about it." Lin Lang seemed to be very reluctant to bring up this topic, of course Lin Feng knew that his mother had died of illness, but no one knew where the cause was.

"Big brother, when you were in the Hou Mansion, do you know what kind of illness my mother had?" Lin Feng asked with a knock on the side, Lin Lang was flustered when he heard this, and shook his head, "Ha, how do I know." ”

"But, I heard the girl say, you know." Lin Feng sighed, "Isn't my eldest brother willing to tell me why my mother left because of some illness?" ”

Seeing Lin Feng's dejected appearance, Lin Lang was even more flustered, he was afraid that if he didn't make it clear, if Lin Feng went to investigate, wouldn't he lose the whole game if he found out the slightest clue when the time came.

Lin Lang hurriedly played a round game, "I know, hey, of course I know about your mother's illness." Your mother actually had a cold, which was very severe during that cold, and finally died. ”

"Really? But I heard the maid say that my mother was drugged, so the cold has been bad. When Lin Feng said this, he raised his head suddenly and looked at Lin Lang. Lin Lang's movements slammed and slammed the teacup on the table, "Who told you that!" If you dare to deceive you and catch her, I will send her to a prison cell! ”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly, "It was a long time ago, that maid is a maid who has been serving my mother for a long time, I think what she said should be true." It's just that I don't know who the person who drugged it is, does my eldest brother know? ”

Lin Lang suddenly didn't have that kind look anymore, and he suddenly stood up, "I don't know, Feng'er, don't be deceived by these people." ”

"Big brother, that maid still said ......" When he said this, Lin Feng paused obviously, looking like he wanted to say something. Lin Lang frowned, looked at Lin Feng and asked, "What's the matter, I have something to say." ”

A touch of sadness appeared in Lin Feng's eyes, "That maid said that the eldest brother was still present when he was drugged. ”

"What?!" When Lin Lang heard this, he turned around abruptly and glared at Lin Feng angrily, "Impossible! She must have slandered me, I wasn't in your mother's house at all. ”

"Then the eldest brother also knows about this?" Lin Feng narrowed his deep eyes and watched Lin Lang show his feet. Lin Lang was in a hurry at the moment, and he didn't react that it was Lin Feng who set a trap for him again, but instead argued, "Of course I don't know, if I know, how can I not stop it?" ”

"That's what I said, my mother treats my eldest brother well, and my eldest brother will naturally treat my mother sincerely." Lin Feng found an excuse for Lin Lang, and Lin Lang hurriedly followed Lin Feng's words and continued, "Yes, that's right, I treat her as my mother." How can you treat her badly, you must have listened to too many improper words, don't believe these things in the future, if there is really something you can ask me. ”

"I spent the most time in the mansion at that time, so naturally I know a lot of things." Lin Lang patted Lin Feng's shoulder with a smile, and said like a brother, "Feng'er, since your mother died, I am also very sad and lost, so I don't want to stay in the mansion anymore." It's always a reminder of the past, that's why I decided to wander around. ”

Lin Feng nodded, "It's hard work, big brother." ”

"Okay Feng'er, I'm coming back this time just to talk to you about marrying the Ye family. Since you don't agree, then I won't stay here for now. ”

"Big brother, where are you going?" Lin Feng also stood up and asked, Lin Lang said with a smile, "The four seas are home, just walk around." ”

"Big brother, you're going to leave?" Lin Feng looked at Lin Lang's back and couldn't help but hook his lips. Lin Lang nodded, "Yes, I'm used to going out, but it's a little restrained at home, Feng'er should prepare a hundred thousand taels of silver tickets for the eldest brother." ”

When Lin Feng heard this, a gleam crossed his eyes, "Big brother, aren't you so good outside?" ”

"That's not true, it's just ......" When he said this, Lin Lang stopped and said with a smile, "No, it's just that the money for this trip is not very enough, Feng'er go and prepare it for me." ”

Lin Feng shook his head and sighed, "Big brother, it's not that I don't prepare for you. But the Hou Mansion does have so many silver tickets, and now the Hou Mansion's economic account book is very tight, and there is really no extra money. ”

Lin Lang turned around in some surprise when he heard this, "How can this be?" Hasn't the economy of the Hou Mansion always been very prosperous? Or, Feng'er, did you deliberately not want to prepare it for me? ”

Listening to Lin Lang's somewhat angry voice, Lin Feng said helplessly, "How can it be, big brother." If I have money, I will naturally prepare it for my eldest brother, but I have turned in a lot today, and I also have to take care of the army's food, clothing, housing and transportation, so I really don't have any spare money. Otherwise, the eldest brother will stay in the mansion first, and when I have 100,000 taels, how about I send it to the eldest brother immediately? ”

Lin Lang frowned, shook his head and refused, "No, I'll leave first." I have some other things to deal with, so I won't stay in the Hou Mansion. You can worry a lot about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and if you have anything, you can come to me at any time. ”

Before Lin Feng could speak, Lin Lang left. It wasn't until the housekeeper came to report that Lin Lang had indeed gone out, that Lin Feng sneered, stood up and slammed the teacup on the table on the ground, the teacup shattered in response, Lin Feng said angrily, "Lin Lang, I still call you big brother, it seems that my mother's death must have nothing to do with you!" ”

Lin Feng ordered someone to follow Lin Lang and monitor his every move.

After a long time, Lin Feng ordered himself to calm down, yes, Lin Lang's actions and words today are basically a lot of loopholes in every sentence now. Obviously, her mother died because she was drugged, but now it has become so simple in Lin Lang's mouth. If he hadn't deliberately found the maid who served his mother, I'm afraid he would still be kept in the dark now!

"Master Hou, I found it." The housekeeper came in from outside and reported, "Young Master Lin Lang went to a nearby main mansion and looked luxurious. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? You continue to check and see how strong Lin Lang's family background is. Lin Feng ordered, for him, Lin Lang was like a big mystery. After a thorough investigation of Lin Lang, half of the fog will dissipate.

Within a few days, the housekeeper quickly reported the results to Lin Feng, who looked at the paper scroll in his hand and was stunned.

The family property above, the huge numbers made him a little unbelievable. His eyes were full of surprise and bewilderment, "How can this be?" ”

On the paper roll in Lin Feng's hand, he clearly wrote that there were four or five properties under Lin Lang's name, and each property was very large. It can be said that there are four or five properties like the Ye family, Lin Feng was completely stunned, you must know that although the Ye family is not a big family, it can be regarded as one of the best here. And Lin Lang actually had such a property in his name, and it was not one, which of course aroused Lin Feng's suspicions.

In addition, Lin Feng also discovered that Lin Lang had a lot of money in addition to these properties. That just said that he asked for 100,000 taels, but now the number is indeed dozens of 100,000 taels, what a huge economic number. Lin Feng frowned, and the mystery in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. Lin Lang has been away for many years, how can he have such a big property. And since he took over the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion's economy has often been in deficit.
