Luo Xicheng didn't expect that Lin Zihao would personally bury his newlywed wife who had not yet met in person, nor did he expect that Lin Zihao would always be obsessed with such similar faces as Ding Ning and Baili Wanting. Fortunately, after Baili Wanting died, he put her body in the ice cellar, and fortunately, he found Ding Ning immediately. For Luo Xicheng, God wants to help him master the lifeblood of business in the north.

Ding Ning used to think that Lin Zihao was a trouble, and if she didn't handle it well, she would lose Luo Xicheng's trust, but now she felt that everything would be the best arrangement, and she had been cowering than meeting each other calmly. Maybe Lin Zihao's attachment to his deceased wife will be a weight worth using for her.

Qi Ming prepared a pair of high-grade jade bracelets for Ding Ning as a gift from Mrs. Lin. Ding Ning took the jade bracelet and rode to the Lin Mansion in a carriage. Although she was covered with a hijab the last time she entered the Lin Mansion, she still memorized all the routes she had taken for emergencies. This time she came in and saw the familiar courtyard, and almost stepped into the house by herself. Fortunately, she stopped in time and waited for the little girl to come up and show her the way.

Ding Ning saw Mrs. Lin for the first time, and it was Mrs. Lin who took the initiative to say hello first:

"But Mrs. Locke? Welcome, welcome! I have heard that Mrs. Luo is as beautiful as a flower and has an outstanding temperament, but now I have met this sentence. Come and sit down, and when the ladies have arrived, let's go into the garden and talk, and I will set up a feast in the courtyard. ”

Ding Ning also smiled when he saw Mrs. Lin's warm hospitality:

"Wanting, thank you Mrs. Lin for your kind invitation, Mrs. Lin's yard is really magnificent."

Then Ding Ning said hello to the ladies who came first, and finally found an impartial seat to sit down. Ding Ning didn't say much, only responded a few words when others took the initiative to talk to her, and the rest of the time was smiling and listening to the conversations of others. Hearing this, Ding Ning, who was still interested, actually felt bored, after all, their conversation was just about their husband and a few concubines in the room. These Ding Ning have nothing to talk about, firstly, Luo Xicheng is her master, she is not good at commenting on Luo Xicheng's privacy, and secondly, there are many people, she is afraid that these ladies will wear the wrong words and destroy the good relationship she has finally established with Luo Xicheng.

Soon, a lady came into the house, and Mrs. Lin took the initiative to introduce her to Ding Ningdao:

"Mrs. Zhou, this is Mrs. Luo. Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Zhou married from the north like you, and you must have a lot of hometown dialect to say. ”

Saying that, Mrs. Lin arranged Mrs. Zhou to sit down next to Ding Ning. After Mrs. Zhou sat down, she said to Ding Ning in authentic northern dialect:

"Mrs. Luo, we met many years ago, do you remember Mrs. Luo?"

Ding Ning now had some suspicions that Mrs. Lin deliberately arranged Mrs. Zhou by her side, and deliberately asked Mrs. Zhou to ask her questions in her hometown, but Ding Ning was not afraid, but smiled and said in authentic northern dialect:

"But in my father's yard? I had an accident on my way to Hangzhou, and when I woke up, I couldn't remember what happened before. But seeing Mrs. Zhou, I still felt very kind. ”

Mrs. Zhou listened to Ding Ning's smooth northern dialect, and felt that the distance between the two had been shortened, and the sense of intimacy had doubled, but knowing what happened to Mrs. Luo in front of her, she still felt deeply, after all, on the way she came to Hangzhou, the road was not smooth, but her husband was by her side to protect her, so she was able to be thoughtful, so her eyes were full of sympathy:

"Madame Locke will definitely get better. Let's keep in touch often, maybe my childhood experience is similar to yours, and it will help you recover your memory. ”

"Thank you Mrs. Zhou for your kindness, we will come and go often in the future, no matter whether my memory can be recovered or not, it is also very happy to have someone from my hometown to talk about myself."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Luo in front of her, smiled and nodded.

After staying in the main hall for a while, when the people were almost there, Mrs. Lin smiled and said to everyone:

"Madam, let's move to the flower hall, I have prepared a thin banquet, today is beautiful, let's talk while eating."

A group of ladies in the main room sat down in the flower hall under the guidance of the subordinates, the weather was warm, there was no direct sunlight, and there was a hint of sweetness of flowers in the slightly blowing wind. After eating something, the ladies went to the garden together, and Mrs. Zhou took Mrs. Luo's hand in front of her and said:

"Mrs. Luo, let's also go for a walk, I heard that the courtyard of the Lin Mansion was also carefully built by craftsmen. I've never been here before, so please accompany me to take a closer look this time. ”

Ding Ning naturally knew that Mrs. Zhou was sincere in her offer, and she also knew that this sincerity might have other plans. She nodded with the mood of "soldiers are coming, and water is coming to cover" and said:

"This is the first time I've come, I'm afraid that I'll go to the wrong place and disturb other people in the house, and I'm afraid that I'll go to a place I shouldn't go, so I'll have to bother Mrs. Zhou to mention it more."

Mrs. Zhou took Ding Ning around the two exquisite small courtyards, stopped at a pavilion and said:

"We've been walking for a while, let's take a break here."

Ding Ning nodded in agreement, and also praised with a smile:

"Mrs. Lin is really a meticulous person, she must have thought that someone would come here, and she also prepared tea and fruit here."

Mrs. Zhou's maid poured tea for the two ladies, Ding Ning and Mrs. Zhou sat and chatted, Ding Ning listened to Mrs. Zhou say something about her relationship, Ding Ning listened with great interest, and regretted that he had lost his memory.

After sitting for a while, someone came to report to Mrs. Zhou, saying that there was something at home and asked her to go back to deal with it immediately. Mrs. Zhou was full of apologies and said:

"Mrs. Luo, I'm really sorry, I'm going to reply now, and when I go out, I'll ask Mrs. Lin to call someone to show Mrs. Luo the way. This courtyard looks remote, and I am afraid that Mrs. Luo will get lost. ”

"It's okay, Mrs. Zhou is busy, I still have Cuilan and Huanxi to accompany me, today the Lin Mansion has a banquet, presumably there will be no shortage of directions here." Mrs. Zhou doesn't have to worry. ”

After Ding Ning and Mrs. Zhou said goodbye to each other, Mrs. Zhou left. Ding Ning looked anxious when she saw Mrs. Zhou leaving, but her steps were steady, she knew that Mrs. Zhou was arranged to leave with an excuse. She knew that Lin Zihao would be here soon. Ding Ning drank tea in the pavilion without hurrying, and from time to time he talked happily with Cuilan to relieve his boredom.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to see Lin Zihao getting closer and closer:

"Zihao is so polite, I wonder if Mrs. Luo has some familiarity with this courtyard?"

Lin Zihao really went straight to the point, Ding Ning decided to take the initiative, and said with a smile:

"Lin Gongzi still wants to say that I am similar to your old friend?"

"I didn't lie, my immortal lady is really very similar to Mrs. Luo." Lin Zihao said.

"I think that Lin Gongzi loves his deceased lady very much, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned her to me again and again. Lin Gongzi is such a long-term person, and he is also trustworthy in buying and selling. When I get home, I'll talk to my husband. Lin Gongzi didn't have to deliberately mention this matter today. Ding Ning smiled. She deliberately wanted Lin Zihao to understand that he was really not Ding Ning, and at this moment, his actions had made her mistakenly think that he was going to be involved with Luo Fu.

Lin Zihao will not let Ding Ning's words sway the purpose of his deliberate arrangement of this banquet today. He painstakingly persuaded his mother to hold a banquet, and arranged in every possible way to attract Mrs. Zhou to come and talk to Ding Ning. Lin Zihao didn't care what Ding Ning said, he just wanted to get the answer he wanted, he said with a low expression:

"Mrs. Luo misunderstood, my wife and I didn't even have a relationship with her. Not only her, but also my first two wives. So I'm tempted to make sure if Madame Luo is my deceased lady and has come back to life. If you were her and you were still alive, I think I would have confidence in my future marriage. ”

Ding Ning didn't expect Lin Zihao to explain the problem so straightforwardly, she secretly amazed herself and said with a peaceful smile:

"Lin Gongzi doesn't have to worry too much about the past, and the reason why he has no chance to be with him is naturally because his fate is too shallow. In the future, there will be that long-term person who will always accompany the son. Thinking that I am so similar to your deceased lady is also a kind of fate, and it is also God's arrangement to meet Lin Gongzi. God may want my face to be the hope and comfort of Lin Gongzi, but it is not necessarily. ”

"It would be nice if Mrs. Luo was Ning'er. Ning'er hadn't heard me call her name. Luo Xicheng's words were pressing step by step.

"I wonder how Mrs. Lin passed away?" Ding Ning looked dazed and ignorant.

"I also wonder why she jumped into the pool in front of the wedding room. The water in the pool was not deep, but it killed her. Lin Zihao said, turning his face to observe Ding Ning's expression and reaction. Ding Ning was still puzzled, as if he was an outsider. 丁宁 says:

"Mrs. Lin's life is thin, and Mr. Lin mourns. The dead are gone, and the living should look forward. ”

"When Mrs. Luo first arrived in Hangzhou, wasn't she afraid to see me?" Luo Xicheng changed the subject.

"Afraid? Why? Ding Ning smiled.

"In the rumors, I'm a bastard boy who does all kinds of evil. Mrs. Luo talks to me like this, isn't she afraid that I will be violent? Madame Luo seems to believe what I say, so don't you doubt it? It is rumored that all three of my wives were abused and died. Lin Zihao's words are full of temptation.

"Lin Gongzi is a generous person in my eyes, this is how I felt when I met by the lotus pond, could it be that Lin Gongzi wants to tell me that you are a gentle thug?" Ding Ning joked.

Lin Zihao's repeated questioning was resolved by Ding Ning's soft words, he had never seen Ding Ning, so it was impossible to determine who she was to the people in front of him. Just by his face, he didn't dare to judge, so he glanced at the joy beside Ding Ning, and then asked:

"This girl next to Mrs. Luo seems to have been used by my deceased lady, why is she by Mrs. Luo's side now?"

"Who?" Ding Ning turned to look at Cuilan and Huanxi with a puzzled expression. Lin Zihao didn't notice a flaw in her expression.

"Huanxi, isn't this girl Ning'er's maid? How did you get to your house? Lin Zihao asked.

"Huanxi, how did you get to Luo's Mansion?" Ding Ning looked at Huanxi and asked. Huanxi is an honest child, and she will naturally come together. Ding Ning also believed that Luo Xicheng would do it seamlessly before he dared to ask like this.

"Mrs. Hui, after my girl died, I was arranged to clean in Lin Gongzi's study, and I accidentally broke Gongzi's inkstone that day, and Mrs. was angry and sold me. Later, Qi Ming, the bookkeeper of the house, bought me, and I was sent to my wife. "Rejoice one by one.

"It seems that you and I have a lot of fate. Otherwise, how could you meet a master who looks exactly like your own girl. Ding Ning said and looked at Huanxi with pity.

Huanxi naturally felt that the person in front of her was her own girl, but she couldn't understand why her own girl pretended not to know her, and was still talking to Lin Gongzi here as if nothing happened. But she is no longer the stupid she was at the beginning, and now she has her own careful thoughts.

Lin Zihao saw that Mrs. Luo in front of him was acting generously, and he didn't mind his questioning, and he began to secretly wonder if he was mistaken. But he was still not reconciled, he really did not believe that there could be two unrelated but extremely similar people in the same city. He wasn't afraid, because he had other ways to figure it out.

"Mrs. Luo and Ning'er are really similar, I bothered today, and I hope to have the opportunity to see Mrs. Luo again in the future. I have already expressed the painting I promised to show Mrs. Luo last time, and I hope Mrs. Luo will accept it. Saying that, the entourage next to Lin Zihao handed over a scroll of paintings. Lin Zihao took the scroll and handed it directly to Ding Ning.

Ding Ning smiled while taking the scroll:

"Then you're welcome. Thank you Lin Gongzi for the painting, I will treasure it. ”

Lin Zihao turned around and left after speaking. Ding Ning probably knew from the chat between the two that Lin Zihao was thinking about his deceased wife, but this concern for her was mostly unwillingness, so how could she use this unwillingness to help herself. When chatting with Lin Zihao, for a moment she felt that she was very sympathetic to the man in front of her, although she didn't know how his first two wives died, at least from the fact that he was willing to bury his deceased wife who he had never seen before, she could see his sincerity.

Returning from the Lin Mansion to the Luo Mansion, Ding Ning still had some memories of the conversation with Lin Zihao. Most of the words were unwilling to his fate, but he did not hide his friendship for his wife. When Luo Xicheng came in, he happened to bump into her expression, and he couldn't help but be jealous, and coughed twice:

"Lin Gongzi is affectionately confessing to his deceased wife today? You're so distracted. ”

Ding Ning woke up from her wandering, she was surprised that he could deduce what she was thinking from his expression, but she still hid a smile and said:

"All I'm thinking about is how to make Lin Gongzi break off the idea that I am Ding Ning."

"Don't worry, as soon as the goods from the north arrive in a few days, my first cooperation with Lord Baili will be considered a success, and when the old man leaves Baili, you and I will send each other together, and Lin Zihao will not be suspicious when he sees Lord Baili and you in the same place." Luo Xicheng's words were an understatement, but they made Ding Ning's heart feel at ease.

At this time in the Lin Mansion, Lin Zihao was thinking about the scene he had just seen behind Mrs. Luo. I was so distracted by my thoughts. For a moment, he felt that Mrs. Luo was undoubtedly his dead wife, and he was happily silly and happy.
