Chapter 384: Expediency

The two of them also walked out quickly, but the sound of footsteps was extremely heavy, especially Su Lian.

"Xiang Ling's reaction is obviously not normal."

Lin Jian couldn't hear the noise outside, and immediately leaned towards Su Mu.

Su Mu Kankan pushed the screen well, and was about to fiddle with the portrait again, but was slapped by Lin Jian.

"You also saw it, right, is it another trick to let fear accumulate overnight?"

"Yes." Su Mu did not shy away from it.

"Speaking of such a lossy trick, have you used it before?"

"No, it's obviously better to be pulled into a cell."

"So this is only a stopgap measure?" Lin Jian pouted.

After some bickering, the original tense atmosphere was swept away. However, Lin Jian couldn't relax, "You say, Su Lian is ...... Are you beginning to doubt my identity, after all, the pregnancy has been pierced, and my mother often goes to the West Courtyard secretly, and it is not impossible to accidentally reveal it. Besides, I've been at home all this time, and it's not impossible if I miss something and don't know it. ”

"The key is that he also asked, do you like Sister A, from the time of view, it seems that you are holding grievances."

"Hold on to it?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and poured another glass of water, "You drink some water first." ”

Lin Jian took the cup, and her voice was also vague, "Yes, Cousin Yilian's temperament, it is indeed rare to say such straightforward words." ”

"You don't really like my sister after all...... Or do you suspect my identity and try it?" Lin Jian shook his head and laughed when he said it, he himself felt that this inference was too unreasonable. Maybe Su Lian didn't choose to say anything because he was angry at the time, but now, he just thinks too much about himself.

"As long as we're all in the house, we're tired of being together all day, so how can he come to the conclusion that I don't like you?" Su Mu seemed to be serious, Lin Jian was a little speechless by this serious appearance, and then twisted his wrist again, don't make trouble.

Su Mu was more serious at this time, "Speaking of the big wedding at that time, if it weren't for me, your sister would probably marry Ah Lian." Look at my aunt, isn't she the best example? Before I came here, Ah Lian was the eldest son, and there was only one son in the house. ”

"Su Mu, don't tell me...... What Su Lian really likes is Sister A? How is that possible? Categorically impossible. One of them stayed in the army, the other stayed in the academy, and they would only see each other at the festival at the end of the year, that is, the time for a hurried meal. ”

As soon as Lin Jian thought of this possibility, he shook his head into a rattle. However, he only stayed for a moment, but found a reason to refute his reasoning.

"No wonder...... At that time, the handkerchief that Xiangling had been carrying was similar to that of Sister A's...... Could it be that she had already seen something, so she did what she liked?"

"That girl, her scheming is really heavy."

The more Lin Jian continued, the more he was shocked by his guesses. He stood up and circled around the bookcase, and after a long time, Su Mu looked a little dizzy.

"Even if Ah Lian really likes your eldest sister, it doesn't matter."

"Why?" Lin Jian finally stopped the chaos.

"I really can't be sure what kind of your eldest sister likes, but I can also be sure that she only regards Ah Lian as a cousin."

"But now I'm my sister." Lin Jian was so anxious that she almost stomped her foot.

…… Rao is Su Mu was almost encircled, he simply stood up and hugged the person, "But it's you who worship heaven and earth with your husband." ”

This person has this kind of shameless ability in front of himself, but he is still the one who can't refute it.

Before Lin Jian could dodge, he was lightly bitten.

There was little point in arguing about this, so they both almost fell asleep.

On the second day, Su Mu got up and checked the official documents of him and his father, while Lin Jian continued to fold those paper ingots, folded them, and then puffed them up, connecting yesterday's ones, and paving the golden ground all over the ground.

After being busy, he couldn't help but lean towards Su Mu, "How is it, is there a result?"

Not yet.

Several times in a row, it was these two words.

Although he was unwilling, Lin Jian couldn't say anything. I had to stretch my waist and stand up, "I'll go to the outskirts of the city to have a look, otherwise, I won't even be able to catch the last one." ”

Xu was sitting for a long time, and his figure was shaking, Su Mu hurriedly stood up and helped the person up, "I'll go with you." ”

The funeral was on the same day.

A thin coffin.

Four family members.

A few paper flags.

Later, they were buried in a deep pit, and they were considered to be in the ground.

It's like an arrow off the string, and there is no possibility of retracting it. Soon there was a "knock", Lin Jian heard it, and a pair of legs softened.

He didn't even have time to cover his mouth before he fell to the bone.

In the past, whenever he worshiped his ancestors, because of the relationship between his mother, he would not go if he could. Whoever participated, was faced with either a slippery tablet or a dusty mound.

Speaking of which, I don't really feel much.

But at this moment, Lin Jian understood what it meant to die.

The excavation continued, and Su Mu only had time to crouch down and hug the person when he heard a howling cry.

is not like Xiangling acting in front of people, nor is he trilling because of grievances, but regardless of it, with despair and pain.

For four days in a row, Lin Jian only fainted at the beginning when he knew the news, and then he woke up and followed him to analyze the case, check the scene, and participate in the inquiry. Irrelevant things, not done, irrelevant words, and no half sentences.

Until now, it was finally the moment when the string broke.

Su Mu knew that he couldn't do anything, so he had to force the person tighter to tell him, don't be afraid, I'm still here.

Su Mu's guess was not wrong, Lin Jian just cried regardless of it, and the scene with Xiangwu in the past was like a cockroach lamp.

What about identity exposure?

What about Sister's whereabouts?

It's a big deal, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.

The left and right can't be exchanged for Xiangwu.

Lin Jian couldn't help but think like this when he was tired of crying, but in the end, there was still a trace of reason left in his head, he slowly raised his head and tugged on Su Mu's sleeve, "What about those family members?"

From the sudden mute in his voice, you could hear how hard he cried before, Lin Jian himself was startled, Su Mu just patted him on the back, "It's okay, it's been gone for a while." ”

Lin Jian slowed down for a while, and then he felt that his head was not so dizzy, he didn't dare to turn around to look at the grave, but just pressed his head, and his voice was muffled.

"Actually, if something happened to Xiangwu, I should also be blamed."

What Su Mu is most afraid of at the moment is Lin Jian's nonsense after grief, his heart is beating, but he also understands that it can't be too obvious, so he has to pretend to be normal, "What do you say?"

"I first suspected Xiangling, naturally because Xiangwu reminded me many times, whether it was that she was pregnant, or deliberately approaching Jiajia, in fact, there were traces to follow. And knowing that my identity is sensitive, she doesn't pay attention to it, according to her temperament, it shouldn't be like this. ”

"And Xiangling's current situation is categorically not likely to harm anyone. It's just that I thought she was Sister A's maid before, and I had already lost my defense. ”

"That night, Xiangwu came to me and said that I knew something related to Ah Xue, and I realized that it might be related to Ah Xue, but I just wanted to wait for the next day, and when Xiangwu was gone, I also understood the danger. It's really not good to chase after the wind and shadows, but it's my fault to ignore the groundless news. ”

"When I've been writing eulogies these days, I've always wondered what she knows. Where did she learn about Ah Xue? If I had asked clearly that night and followed her back, how could there be such a thing? ”

Later, Lin Jian talked about it from the case to when he was a child.

"The first time I saw Xiangwu, when she was about thirteen, she was led by her mother and stood at the bottom of the stairs looking at me. I remember that the person who followed me in the East Courtyard at that time was a very good-tempered brother. It's just that I blindly relied on my skin, and I didn't do my homework several times, which caused him to be punished. But he is a forbearant person, and even so, he has never done anything. Later, my mother couldn't stand it, so she changed to Xiangwu. said that this girl is lively and generous, and she is more strong, which is just right for me. ”

Lin Jian has been nestled in his arms without moving, and the hot air sprays on his neck, which is slightly numb. Su Mu glanced down and deliberately laughed.

"So, you obediently listened to her command later, and you didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore?"

"How can I be, at first I tried to rely on the prestige of being a son, but later I found that she was not afraid at all, so I had to fight and make trouble, and this is how I came all the way."

After Lin Jian said this, he unexpectedly found that there were some traces of relaxation in his originally heavy chest.

He looked up and saw that the sky was gray.

This winter, it's really timely.

Later, the wind gradually increased, and the area was wilderness again, and the rolled up loess joined together to form an earth-colored wall.

"Let's go back, and come back again next year." Su Mu half-hugged the person and stood up, but he also grabbed Lin Jian's neck to avoid the wind.

"Hmm." Lin Jian replied vaguely, "This day is really not very suitable, otherwise, you should sit more." ”

Later, the two of them naturally did not have the courage to pour loess into their mouths, and when the wind passed, they hurriedly ran out and went all the way back to the main street of the city, which was better.

They were dressed in plain clothes, their hair was scattered, and they were covered in loess, even though it was winter, they were really embarrassed.

Although the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, they couldn't help but look at them.

Su Mu ignored these and just took Lin Jian's hand, "Actually, whether there is that wind or not, I should also remind you to come back." I remember that in the past, when you encountered these things, your aunt was all for you to avoid. ”

"Master Su has been an official for a few years, and he still believes in these?" Lin Jian pursed his lips and left no room for improvement.

"It's hard to say these things, but as long as they are related to you, I believe them."

Lin Jian was choked up and speechless.

Later, when he went back to the east courtyard to bathe, Su Mu brought a scoop of water and added it to the wooden bucket.

"The water is still hot." Next to the barrel and on the dark bed were completely two places, especially when there was a lamp next to it, Lin Jian shrank back, which was quite unnatural.

"It's water boiled with grapefruit leaves, soak it for a while."

Su Mu put the wooden scoop next to him and knocked them together, with a slight sound.

After tossing like this for a day, Lin Jian reluctantly wiped her hair half-dry and climbed into bed, and Su Mu followed after washing.

During this period of time, Lin Jian was already sleepy, and he didn't fall asleep because he remembered things. Now that he felt his body sinking, he consciously leaned towards Su Mu's side.

"I forgot to say that since Ah Xue's matter may have an eyebrow, then Xiangling, as her sister's maid, may also know something. I think it's better to ask tomorrow as well. ”

Folding a maid is naturally nothing to Su Fu.

Only two people in the east courtyard wore vegetarian clothes and vegetarian dishes, until the first seven days.

On this day, Lin Jian woke up very early, and even he was a little surprised when he was so early.

It wasn't until the morning meal that it was just Chenzheng.

Su Mu was busy beside the bookcase, and solemnly reminded at the end, "The official documents that can be moved here and my father have been turned over, and there are indeed no scratches, so most of the things that Xiangwu saw are not on these." ”
