Lin Feng was ready to leave, but he didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to change her words, and her surprise and joy overflowed, "Madam understands the righteousness, if you need Ben Hou to do anything in the future, just say it." ”

"You don't flatter me so much, it's not because you suddenly changed my mind." Mrs. Zhou looked at the banyan tree not far away and lost her mind, her memory seemed to return to many years ago, at that time it was really carefree, and a word of concern from others could be happy for a few days, since when did it start, even if others treat each other sincerely, she has no emotions. Even faintly feel that this person has other intentions, he has been outside before, this feeling is not deep, since returning to Beijing, walking in the familiar streets and alleys every day, looking at new faces, full of strangeness and gloom.

Originally, she thought that when she returned to Beijing this time, she would mock those who had lost her, she would go to their graves, talk about it well, and let them see what she looked like as a victor, but when she really returned to the capital again, everything changed, even herself. When she met her friend's son today, she thought she would be resentful and angry, but she found that there was none, and her heart and eyes were full of regret and remorse for the past.

"Me and your mother, started when we were young, at that time, she was a talented woman with infinite scenery, and I was just a concubine in an unknown mansion, my sister looked down on me, and even bullied our mother and daughter every day, and I was not as good as a subordinate, and then I accidentally met your mother, at that time, I didn't believe that there would be someone in this world who was good to me for no reason, but I couldn't think of what benefits he could get from me, your mother, stupid don't want anything, and be good to me. He was thinking about me when he was dying, but I cut off contact with him for the sake of a man. Mrs. Zhou said sadly, and turned her head with a wry smile, "Do you think I was very stupid back then?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head, willful and good, as for the different experiences and choices after that, the final results were different, and there were many things that he couldn't even decide, so how could he blame anyone, wasn't he like this? From the very beginning, he wanted to use Liu Tian with a purpose, and if the purpose was not pure, he was not good.

"Why should Mrs. Zhou be angry, so many years have passed, I believe my mother has long been relieved." Mrs. Zhou sighed, smiled wryly and shook her head, "Yes, she always sees everything as good, but she doesn't know that the world is sinister. Otherwise, in the end, I couldn't end up with this, back then, if I was still in the capital, she might ...... "I can't end up here, but back then, she was young and vigorous, and her heart was higher than the sky, even if she was in the capital, would she really help her?" Mrs. Zhou suddenly hesitated again.

"Mrs. Zhou and my mother are very familiar with each other, when I was born, Mrs. Zhou was there?" Lin Feng began to ask about the purpose of coming today, Mrs. Zhou put away her thoughts, took the teapot next to her, and arrived at two cups of tea, one of which was handed to Lin Feng, "I can't remember the things of many years ago." However, I remember your affairs clearly, your mother was not in the capital when she gave birth to you, and when she brought you back, you were a few months old. It's white and chubby, and it's very cute. ”

"Do you remember any birthmarks on my body?" Lin Feng looked at Mrs. Zhou a little nervously, Mrs. Zhou thought for a while, and said with great certainty, "Naturally, not only that, but your birthmark is still very hidden, and ordinary people are afraid that they can't see it." Mrs. Zhou said and glanced at the root of his thigh, Lin Feng thought of something, and subconsciously pulled his robe up. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou smiled awkwardly, "Don't you already know it yourself." ”

"Mrs. Zhou is sure that it was me who my mother brought back back then? Not my big brother? Lin Feng was a little puzzled and spoke again, but this time it was Mrs. Zhou who was puzzled, "What do you mean by this, your mother only gave birth to you, what big brother do you have." Feeling that something was wrong, Mrs. Zhou turned her head, "You have a big brother, could it be that your father's wife gave birth to him?" "But it's not right, when she left, the Hou Mansion obviously only had one child, if the birthmark is not wrong, it is the person in front of her.

"Are you sure Mrs. Zhou is not mistaken?" Mrs. Zhou is very concerned about how the affairs of the Hou Mansion can be mistaken, but there is one thing she has been puzzled for many years, and she doesn't know if it will help him, "It's also strange to say, your mother has been pregnant since she was pregnant, and she is looking forward to your arrival, since then, she has been cautious, for fear that something will happen, but when she is about to give birth, she went far away, and only returned to Beijing after a few months, I asked your mother at that time, but your mother just made an excuse to prevaricate in the past, and did not tell the truth." ”

Why did her mother leave Beijing at that time, Lin Feng wanted to know, but obviously Mrs. Zhou didn't know, got the answer she wanted, got up and said goodbye, "Mrs. Zhou, thank you very much today, Benhou's words just now are still valid, if Mrs. Zhou has something to do that day, just go to the house." Mrs. Zhou is old, what else is there to ask for, wave her hand and let her leave.

On the way back, Lin Feng was preoccupied, and carefully recalled Mrs. Zhou's words, when his father did not take a concubine, there was only one lady in the house, he was his mother's first child, where did the eldest brother come from, since the mother was so careful, what was the reason for her to suddenly decide to leave the capital, and she went for so long, what about Dad, isn't Dad worried? Lin Feng was also very puzzled, and he also felt that these doubts were related to the life experience of the eldest brother, as long as she slowly investigated, maybe the Leng family's extermination meal would also make some progress. Back at home, Lin Feng immediately asked his subordinates to retrieve the file of the year, he wanted to check it carefully, and don't let go of any clues, not long after, the little guy found the file and brought it to the study. Lin Feng was thinking about these things in his heart, and he began to read them without taking care of the meal.

On the other side, Lin Lang heard about Lin Feng's transfer of the file when he came back from outside, a bad thought flashed in his heart, he turned around and hurried to the study, in the study, Lin Feng sat in front of the desk, holding the file in his hand, looking at it very seriously, Lin Lang quickly stepped forward and took the file down, and said with some anger, "Second brother, do you know what you are doing." Back then, this case made the city stormy, and the emperor was angry, but now, it has finally been forgotten by the world, why do you still want to investigate. Do you know that the Hou Mansion is no longer the time for my father to be here. We can only protect ourselves now by keeping a low profile and being cautious, how can you still ...... Still...... Asking for trouble. ”

"Big brother is so excited, what are you doing?" Lin Feng put down the file and looked at Lin Lang intriguingly, "Big brother, where did you come back, you can have lunch." It's not early, I'm afraid I'm hungry, so let's go back to dinner early. ”

"Second brother, don't divert the topic, who am I doing this for, not for you, for the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion is the work of our generations, do you really want to watch her destroyed in your hands?" The more Lin Lang spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more serious it became, Lin Feng still had a calm face, sitting motionless in front of the desk. I don't know what I'm thinking.

After half a ring, Lin Lang finally calmed down, "You can understand what I said, put these files back quickly, and don't check them again in the future." After speaking, he turned around to leave, walked a few steps, and stopped again uneasily, "Second brother, just beg you as the eldest brother, now there are only two of us brothers in the house, and the eldest brother will not harm you." ”

"What the eldest brother said is, I don't look at it." I can see about it left and right. In addition, she was just a little suspicious before, but now, he can be sure that the eldest brother knows something, and these secrets may be related to him, because he is afraid of being discovered by her, so he tries his best to prevent it, but he doesn't know that sometimes, the more you are afraid and what you worry about, those you are afraid of will eventually be discovered.

Seeing that she agreed, Lin Lang slowly had a smile on his face, turned around and stepped forward, "Second brother, give me the key to the treasury account." Lin Lang's face was straightforward, it seemed that it would be wrong if Lin Feng didn't give it, Lin Feng had already prepared, glanced at her, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't the eldest brother just take 10,000 taels of silver a few days ago, and it's only been a few days...... Didn't Big Brother Mo do something shady outside? Thinking of this, Lin Feng looked worried, "Big brother, you also said just now, now there are only two of us brothers in the Hou Mansion, you must not do anything stupid, otherwise, if something happens, I, as a younger brother, will not be able to protect you." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, can I do a lot. I just used the money to do some business, but I didn't do it well, and I just lost money. Why, you can't see me like this? Or are you willing to support me for the rest of my life. Let me just sit at home and eat and wait to die. Lin Lang saw that she was unwilling, so he immediately quit. Lin Feng didn't expect her to be so impatient, and suddenly had a teasing thought, "You are my eldest brother, even if I raise you for a lifetime, I will not complain,"

"Hmph, what you said is good, but I don't know if you will say that when the day comes." Lin Lang muttered, "Okay, hurry up and give me the key, don't worry, I promise not to do anything to embarrass the Hou Mansion." Reaching out to ask for it, Lin Feng didn't hesitate this time, handed over the key, Lin Lang took the key and turned to leave. Lin Feng sat in front of the desk, waited for her to leave, and slowly stood up, "Let's go, go see what he's going to do." ”

Outside the door of the account room, a few small servants came out with a few boxes of silver, and then left through the back door, loaded into a carriage, and Lin Lang personally took the silver taels to the British King's Mansion. Lin Feng looked at the room behind him, in the study, Lin Lang happily talked about everything today, and when he gave the key, he scolded proudly, "That's a fool, I believe whatever I say, and I don't know what my father thinks, I have to hand over the Hou Mansion to such a straw bale." I want to see how long he can do this Hou Ye's position. ”

"These are not things you should worry about, send the silver two over, and then recruit some strong men in, when the time comes, ......" The voice behind was too small, Lin Feng didn't hear it, at this time, there was a small guy coming over next to him, Lin Feng was worried about being discovered, and flew away.
