Chapter 77: Do You Want to See My Brother?
Lin Jinlan didn't say anything, but she didn't believe it in her eyes. She only felt that Zhichun's father and younger brother would be grief-stricken after knowing that their daughter had died, and they would definitely not make trouble, after all, the Lin family didn't owe Zhichun anything.
It happened that Zhixia brought the meal, and Song Lingyue accompanied Lin Jinlan to have dinner in the room.
Song Lingyue chatted with Lin Jinlan for a while, and then said that she couldn't rest assured that she couldn't go to Mrs. Lin's side, and she wanted to go over to see the situation.
Lin Jinlan also followed to see it, and Mrs. Lin's complexion was obviously much better than before after drinking Song Lingyue's prescription, and the gloomy aura on her face also dissipated a lot.
Song Lingyue carefully investigated, the poison has begun to slowly dissolve, fortunately, Mrs. Lin's poisoning was discovered early, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Song Lingyue explained the precautions for the maid to take care of Mrs. Lin, and returned to Tingxue Xiaozhu with Lin Jinlan.
"I've asked Zhixia to clean up the wing room on the west side, if you lack anything, tell Zhixia. If you don't greet well, you have to take care of it a little more. β
"Thank you, it's already good." Song Lingyue looked at the wing room where she was going to stay, and the decoration was already much more exquisite and elegant than her bedroom.
"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have spent my days in that stinking cell today." Song Lingyue shrugged her shoulders.
"Actually, your matter is also related to that Zhang Langzhong!" Lin Jinlan thought of something, and suddenly spoke.
"I would have guessed him a long time ago." Song Lingyue's eyes flashed slightly, "This Zhang Langzhong always feels that he has a lot of power." β
"Cut, it's just that there is a younger sister who is a concubine in the palace of the king of northern Hebei, so I think I have the light of the king of northern Hebei." Lin Jinlan snorted shamelessly.
"Who is this King of Northern Hebei?" Hearing the name King of Jibei, Song Lingyue couldn't help but think of it.
Song Qingping is still in the Northern Hebei Palace, I don't know if she is doing well now, she still wants to take the time to visit, just take this opportunity to inquire with Lin Jinlan.
Lin Jinlan heard Song Lingyue ask about the king of northern Hebei, so she explained her doubts to Song Lingyue with great interest: "This king of northern Hebei is from our compatriots of the first mother of the saint today, and he is the younger brother of the saint today. Strictly speaking, this Jizhou Mansion is the fief of the king of northern Hebei. β
"What about the King of Jibei?" Song Lingyue asked curiously.
"People ......" Lin Jinlan hesitated for a moment, and the smile on her face was a little reluctant:
"How to say it, everyone in Jizhou says that the king of Jibei is benevolent and generous, and he is very loved by the people.
However, he and my father often quarreled because of political disagreements, and on several occasions they disciplined my father, so that my father could not be promoted. β
"So, what do you think of the King of Jibei?" Song Lingyue climbed on the table and looked at Lin Jinlan.
"I think the king of Jibei should be a good person, right? Otherwise, the people around him would not love him so much. As for political disagreement, impeachment and suppression of other officials are also a common thing in officialdom. Lin Jinlan shrugged her shoulders and poured Song Lingyue a cup of hot tea:
"It's just that the prince of Jibei won't control it, and the year before last, because his housekeeper's son fell in love with a girl on the street, he forcibly married, and the girl's family went to court. Later, my father handled it impartially and beheaded the son of the housekeeper who robbed the people's daughter. β
"So, did you say that your father and the king of Jibei had a disagreement after that incident?" Song Lingyue raised her head.
Lin Jinlan nodded: "Well, that's half a year after my father beheaded the housekeeper's son." However, the king of Jibei was very angry when he knew that his housekeeper actually connived at his son to marry a people's daughter on the street, and said on the spot that he would never tolerate his subordinates acting like this, and let my father enforce the law impartially, he would definitely not defend it.
So, I guess he's a pretty good guy. It's just that because of political matters, my father and he have always been very uneasy. β
"Do you know what political differences between your father and the king of Jibei are?" Song Lingyue was even more interested.
Lin Jinlan shook her head and looked at Song Lingyue helplessly: "My father won't tell me about the affairs of the court and politics, he will only tell my brother that in his eyes I am a naΓ―ve businesswoman who does not understand the world." Saying this, Lin Jinlan rolled her eyes exaggeratedly.
Song Lingyue couldn't help laughing, "However, your mother is sick, why didn't you see your brother?" I thought I might see your brother today. β
"My brother......" Lin Jinlan stuck out her tongue at Song Lingyue, "He should still be learning kung fu from his master in the mountains at this time, right?" But I should be back tonight. Why, do you want to see my brother? β
"No, it's just curiosity. I want to know if your brother is any different from you dressed in men's clothes. Song Lingyue took a sip of the teacup, saw Lin Jinlan yawn sleepily, and then got up to say goodbye.
Lin Jinlan didn't mean to keep it, she just told Song Lingyue that if she needed anything, just talk to the maids.
Song Lingyue simply washed up with the water sent by the maid, and then prepared to sleep.
Song Lingyue was relieved that she didn't have to sleep in the prison, thinking that before Mrs. Lin woke up, Lord Lin shouldn't easily send her back to the prison.
Song Lingyue felt thirsty in the middle of the night, but there was no tea in the teapot on the table, and Song Lingyue didn't want to trouble the maid outside the door to fetch water for her, so she got up and wanted to find water to drink.
Song Lingyue grabbed her coat and put it on her body and went out.
The moonlight sprinkled on the ground through the branches without hesitation, and the whole courtyard was coated with a layer of silver light.
The hanging flower trees in the yard didn't know when they bloomed, and the yard was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which made Song Lingyue couldn't help twitching her nose a few times.
The feeling of thirst in her mouth and tongue did not dissipate because of the fragrance of osmanthus in the air, but made Song Lingyue even more thirsty, and her mouth muttered: "Tea, tea, tea!" β
Inadvertently raised her eyes, only to see a black shadow on the beam of the room flash away, Song Lingyue was shocked, and almost opened her mouth to shout.
The person on the beam of the room also lowered his head inadvertently, and happened to meet Song Lingyue's line of sight.
The man in black was not masked, and half of his face was hidden in the shadows of the moonlight, and it was a little difficult to see clearly, but through the half of the clear outline, Song Lingyue still recognized the person.
It's Qi Mo.
Song Lingyue's heart began to beat wildly, wasn't the man in black who was lying dormant on the beam of the house and stepping on the tiles and speeding in the night sky the weak scholar Qi Mo?
But he just looked at the black shadow for a few seconds, the black shadow counted on his toes, stepped on the tiles, and soon turned over and rose into the air, ignoring all the scientific principles that Song Lingyue knew in his mind, so he ignored the laws of gravity and jumped on the eaves, jumped three feet, and quickly disappeared into Song Lingyue's sight after a few jumps.
Is this the light skill that is mentioned in those martial arts novels? Song Lingyue's eyes suddenly widened.
She just thought that this kind of thing was just a fantasy in martial arts novels, flying eaves and walking on the wall or something, it was too exaggerated.
But look at the appearance of the black shadow jumping between the eaves just now, the body is as light as a swallow, as if it is really stepping in the moonlight, flowing clouds and water, and soon blends with the night.
"Miss Song, what's wrong?" Cui'er, the little girl who was in charge of taking care of Song Lingyue, pushed open the door, rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Song Lingyue, her face still sleepy.
Song Lingyue swallowed her saliva and pointed to the eaves: "There seems to be a person on the roof just now?" β
"Anyone?" Cui'er tilted her head to look at Song Lingyue, rubbed her sleepy eyes and glanced up at the eaves, "Where is there anyone?" Miss shouldn't have slept in a daze, and she dazzled the night owl. β
"No, it should be a person." Song Lingyue is very sure. The outline of the eyebrows and eyes, Song Lingyue was very sure that it was Qi Mo.
It's just that Song Lingyue bit her lower lip, Qi Mo in her impression has always been a weak scholar who can lift on her shoulders, but at that glance just now, those eyes were full of perseverance, and she couldn't see the weakness in the scholar's eyes at all.
Is it just people who look alike? Song Lingyue's heart began to drum.
"Impossible." Cui'er yawned loudly, "There are guards in the mansion, and ordinary people can't enter the mansion, so you must be dazzled by Miss Miss." β
"Did I make a mistake?" Song Lingyue was also a little unsure for a while. After all, it was only a momentary thing, and she just glanced at the man in black, and the man in black quickly disappeared in a few flashes, as if she had a dream.
"You must be mistaken." Cui'er nodded affirmatively, "Miss, let's rest quickly, this night is getting deeper and deeper." β
Song Lingyue answered and returned to her room. When she lay down on the bed again, Song Lingyue remembered that she got up to find water to drink.
I wanted to ask Cui'er for water again, but when she heard the sound of Cui'er closing the door, Song Lingyue was embarrassed to trouble Cui'er, so she endured her thirst and closed her eyes and tried to cultivate sleepiness.
Was that figure just her dazzled? However, those eyes, Song Lingyue could be sure that they must be personal eyes, so bright and deep, as if they would be sucked in by him if they continued to look.
Song Lingyue pulled the quilt and turned over, and couldn't help but continue to think: If the person I saw just now was really Qi Mo, then ...... Qi Mo is a person, but I'm afraid it's not simple.
A cold light flashed at the bottom of Song Lingyue's eyes, could it be said that Qi Mo had other intentions to approach her? Is there a secret in this body that she doesn't know?
The doubts in Song Lingyue's heart became deeper and deeper. Fortunately, sleepiness gradually came up at this time, and Song Lingyue finally couldn't resist the call of the sleeping demon and fell asleep deeply.
Song Lingyue didn't know that the glance she inadvertently raised her head and looked at Qi Mo made Qi Mo, who was originally planning to rest on the eaves for a while, to breathe a sigh of relief, almost not fall off the eaves.
Qi Mo thought that Song Lingyue should still be imprisoned in the prison at this time, but he didn't expect to meet Song Lingyue in the Lin Mansion, and he was surprised a lot.
"I thought she would be helpless in prison, but I didn't expect to enter the Lin Mansion." Qi Mo ran towards Linyu Tower with light skills, and at the same time secretly slandered himself in his heart.
"This girl seems to be more mysterious than I thought." Qi Mo's eyes flashed, and he quickened his pace and hurried towards the direction of Lin Yulou.
