Chapter 194: One Joy and One Sorrow
Lin Ye smiled lightly: "A family has developed, which one is not piled up with countless corpses and bones under his feet, my Lin family looks bright and beautiful on the outside, but there is also darkness and blood behind it, even my grandfather, he has always been peaceful, but he has killed a lot of people." Someone has to do this, so that my Lin family can stand on the world smoothly. ”
Mu Yunlan's throat choked, and her voice was low: "Second brother, thank you." ”
The second brother kept saying that it was for the Lin family, but he also said just now that the Lin family has a grandfather, an eldest uncle and a second uncle, and no matter how bad he is, there is an eldest brother, if he doesn't want to do anything, it is enough to be safe, rich, and have a good life.
The reason why he did this was not for the Lin family, but for his sister. Just ask He De how she can, she has been lucky so far!
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly: "It's good that you are happy, the daughters of the Lin family are all noble, so naturally they can't be bullied, by the way, since you are here, then just meet that Qi Nian together." Lin Xiang, bring people in. ”
"Yes, Second Young Master."
Qi Nian changed his clothes, with a faint fragrance of medicine on his body, thinking that he should have taken medicine, and when he saw Mu Yunlan and Lin Ye, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I have seen the princess, I have seen the second young master, thank you to the princess and the second young master for saving their lives." ”
Compared with the banquet, there is no cowardice in her, and her whole temperament has changed a lot.
Mu Yunlan looked at Lin Ye with a faint question in her eyes.
Lin Ye sat on the chair next to him, took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over.
Mu Yunlan took it, it was a little strange to start, it was uneven, as if there were raised patterns, and when she looked carefully, she found that the lilac handkerchief was embroidered with silk threads of the same color, writing: Qi Youcun is tricky, hope for help.
Lin Ye curled the corners of his lips: "She threw it when she fell on me." ”
"It's bold." Mu Yunlan was surprised.
"Yes, it was because of this audacity that I decided to spare her life."
Qi Nian hurriedly kowtowed: "The folk girl thanked the second young master again." ”
"How did you remember to ask me for help, and how can you be sure that I will save you?"
Qi Nian raised his head, his pale face looked extremely innocent with a pair of big eyes: "Back to the second young master, there is no way for the folk girl to be sure, it's just a gamble." The princess has just come to Yunnan, and there must be a lot of people who are tempted, and my brother Qi You should be the one with the lowest status in it, and it is just right to use it for Liwei. ”
The smile on the corner of Lin Ye's lips deepened: "You are smart." ”
"If you don't think about it, the folk girl will definitely die in the Qi family, instead of dying silently, it is better to gamble, in case the bet wins, you can live, if you lose the bet, when you die, you can still pull Qi You on your back, no matter how you lose."
Mu Yunlan asked the puzzle in her heart: "You are Qi You's own sister and the young lady of the Qi family, why were you so abused by Qi You?" ”
At the banquet, she asked Bizhu to check the injury on Qi Nian's arm, just because when she was acting, she showed a wounded wrist, and now that she thinks about it, she should have done it on purpose at that time.
"Although Qi You and I are brothers and sisters, but I am a concubine, and my father's least favorite daughter, I am not as good as a big girl in the house to have face, two years ago, my aunt was still alive, Qi You did not dare to be so blatant, after my aunt died, I had no one to care about, and he had no fear. Qi You likes to abuse women, and many sisters and maids of the Qi family who are not of high status have been beaten by him. ”
Mu Yunlan and Lin Ye glanced at each other: "Even if Qi You is bold, he shouldn't have the courage to directly oppose this princess, do you know who he was instructed by?" ”
"The folk girl has inquired many times, but Qi You has always been tight-lipped, but I have paid careful attention to it, since you came to Yunnan, Princess, there are a total of six people who have been to my Qi family, among them, four of them have business dealings with the Qi family before, and the date of coming is also set, and it doesn't seem to be abnormal, but there are only two of them, and there is no contact with our Qi family before."
"Which two?"
"The Zhu family, who was born as a witch doctor, and the Wu family, a wealthy businessman."
Mu Yunlan thought for a while: "Wu family? The richest man in Zhaotong, the Wu family who can be angry with Yunrou? ”
"Yes, it was a housekeeper of the Wu family who came, and I also learned it from the mouth of the maid, so I don't know what I said."
The Zhu family is the family of shaking his father, and now there are still Zhu Shitong and Zhu Ying alive, although they seem to have little power, but the witch doctor's methods are invincible.
The Wu family, the richest man, has even more intricate relationships behind him, it seems that this matter is not easy to investigate, even if it finds out anything, I am afraid it is far from the root.
Mu Yunlan looked at Qi Nian carefully, she looked weak and weak, but her tone was calm and indifferent, she had just experienced life and death, but she seemed to have passed without a trace, leaving no trace of panic: "Your heart is very careful, and you are very bold, do you have any plans for the future?" ”
Qi Nian raised his head suddenly: "The folk girl wants to follow the princess and serve." ”
"Serve me?" Mu Yunlan raised her eyebrows.
"The people's daughter dares to make this request, please ask the princess for permission." Qi You is dead, and she is still alive and well, and the Qi family will definitely not let her go. Although the Qi family is only barely ranked in Zhaotong City, it is still very easy to kill a woman who has no power and no power, and she doesn't want to die.
Mu Yunlan shook her head: "There is no shortage of maids around me. Although Qi Nian didn't see the problem for the time being, the timing was sensitive now, and she couldn't take it lightly.
"Princess......
"Young Master Ben lacks an errand runner, you may be competent?" Lin Ye suddenly spoke.
Mu Yunlan was surprised in her heart: "Second brother? ”
Lin Ye gave her a reassuring look, and then looked at Qi Nian: "If you want to sign a deed of sale and become a slave, are you willing?" ”
"The slave is willing." Qi Nian happily changed his words, bowed to Lin Ye, and then followed Lin Xiang down.
"Second brother, how did you accept her?"
"This Qi Nian is good, bold and careful, now, we have her life in our hands, she doesn't dare to be presumptuous. What I want to do in the future, it is much more convenient to have a woman by my side, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, if she gives birth to two hearts, I will not be the first to tolerate her. ”
"Okay, I'll have someone look into her again."
"Okay."
Leaving Lin Ye's courtyard, Mu Yunlan was in a heavy mood, and after walking forward, she saw Yue Jingxuan waiting on the side of the road: "Uncle Huang." ”
"Hmm." Yue Jingxuan didn't ask her what to do, but took her hand and walked slowly in the yard.
"Uncle Huang, is there something wrong with grandpa looking for you?"
"I asked about the Qi family, and in addition, there are traces of the Tibetan black grass I need for detoxification, so let me send someone to find it."
"Great, if you find Tibetan black grass, the medicinal materials needed for detoxification will be ready." Mu Yunlan was happy in her heart.
"Well, thanks to Grandpa's connections." He owes another amount, and now that he thinks about it carefully, he owes Yun Lan and the Lin family more than he can count.
The two walked to the lake, looked at the slightly rippling lake, and only felt infinite peace in their hearts.
"Uncle Huang......"
"Master!" Tianshu hurriedly ran over, his face was extremely ugly, he didn't care about being rude, and reported directly, "Master, something is wrong, Phoenix Valley is besieged, Phoenix Valley Lord Feng Jingyu is hunted down, and his whereabouts are unknown, and I don't know where the news came from, say...... Say you're dying......"
Yue Jingxuan's eyes trembled, and then quickly returned to normal: "I thought it would take a while, but I didn't expect Yue Jingyun's speed to be so fast." ”
"Uncle Huang......" Mu Yunlan held his hand worriedly, "Who is the person besieging Phoenix Valley, have you found it?" ”
"There are many, they are all forces in the rivers and lakes, it is said that there have been people who have been rejected for treatment by Phoenix Valley, and now they finally can't stand the style of Phoenix Valley, and they have joined forces to break through Phoenix Valley." Tianshu reported in a deep voice.
Yue Jingxuan patted Mu Yunlan's hand and instructed Tianshu: "Send someone to find the whereabouts of Feng Jingyu, he can be in charge of Phoenix Valley for many years, and there is Fanghua Pavilion behind him, he is unparalleled in the world with the art of poison, he must still be alive, mobilize the manpower of this king, monitor Yunnan, don't shake the people's hearts, pay special attention to several major families, if there is any movement, report it immediately." ”
"Yes, master."
"Uncle Huang......" heart continued to sink downward, Mu Yunlan only felt uncomfortable, just now she was still happy to find the Tibetan black grass, who knew that she heard this bad news in the blink of an eye, although she also felt that Feng Jingyu would be fine, but if it happened, all the previous efforts would be in vain......
Yue Jingxuan hugged her into his arms, and there were bursts of pain rolling in his quiet eyes, he didn't care about life and death, but what about Yun Lan, did he want to hold her and die together?
"Yun Lan, it's going to be fine." His voice was low, comforting her and himself.
Mu Yunlan hugged his waist, pressed her side face against his chest, and the anxiety in her heart calmed down a little: "Uncle Huang, it's a big deal, we will die together, there's nothing to be afraid of." ”
“…… Well. ”
Feng Jingyu's matter made Mu Yunlan feel down, and what Zan Li said again made her even more irritable.
"Princess, in five days it will be the prince's birthday, what do you command, I will let the people in the palace prepare in advance."
"The Prince's Birthday ......"
"Yes, in the past, on the birthday of the prince, we were all going to Yunli City to congratulate, this year is good, it happens to be in Zhaotong, and several other city lords have said that they want to come, and many things must be prepared in advance."
"Well, when the prince comes back, I will discuss it with him."
"Yes, in that case, then I won't bother the princess."
When Yue Jingxuan came back from the study, he saw Mu Yunlan leaning against the table, grabbing the bluegrass on the table for a while, and a few leaves were scattered on the table: "Yunlan, are you still worried about the phoenix feathers?" ”
Mu Yunlan got up and leaned directly into Yue Jingxuan's arms, her voice was a little dull: "Uncle Huang, is my wife extremely incompetent?" ”
"How so?" He looked at the green sleeves, his eyes were sharp, and the green sleeves silently made a Zhan Li mouth shape, and then quickly withdrew.
