After sending Xu Jinruo away, Changying went to Ling's house. The door met He Lu, who happened to be sent to the Shen family, and the two came to the back house together.

Mrs. Ling was overjoyed to see Changying, but she still couldn't help but feel worried.

She took her hand and said, "This problem can't be broken, but how can it be good?" Did Liang Gongzi say how to treat it? ”

Changying smiled: "Liang Feng thought that he did his best. ”

After speaking, she paused, and then said, "Auntie, I want to go to my uncle's study to have a look." ”

Mrs. Ling was surprised: "Good manner, what are you going to do there?" ”

In Ling Yan's matter, Mrs. Ling believed that it would be more difficult for Changying to overcome this hurdle than them, because no one else could help her with guilt, so she could only rely on herself to extricate herself, just as she had always felt guilty for being cruel to her back then.

And he and Ling Yuan's brothers didn't feel guilty about Ling Yan, so their emotions were more pure, and it was easier for them to withdraw than her.

"I miss my uncle, I want to go and see it." Changyingdao.

Xu was because of her serious look, Mrs. Ling sighed and stood up.

Ling Yan's study was an independent courtyard, and now that Ling Yuan had become a member of the family, it should have been vacated for him to use, but no one wanted to destroy its original appearance, so the courtyard was locked, and in addition to regular cleaning, only Mrs. Ling and Ling Yuan occasionally went in to have a look.

Helu called people to open the door, and Changying saw two verdant camphor trees, compared to that year, the tree naturally grew taller, and the eaves and doors and windows looked at a bit of vicissitudes.

A few clumps of grass came out of the cracks in the stones outside the fence, and Mrs. Ling subconsciously bent down to pull it out, and said to Helu: "Ming'er called someone to come in and clean up, this spring grass will grow violently when it encounters the sun, and it will be terrible after a summer." ”

Helu said yes, and immediately gave the order.

Changying leaned forward one by one, and the voices of his youth seemed to echo in his ears again.

She has been close to her parents since she was a child, Xu because she received too much protection in her childhood, when her aunt took her from the northwest to Beijing, and she was considerate of her everywhere, she integrated into the Ling family very quickly.

She quickly transferred her attachment to her parents to her aunt and uncle, and the ten years in the Ling family, although it could not replace the time she spent in front of her parents, had already surpassed her attachment to the northwest.

She has come to this courtyard with her aunt a lot, and the deepest memory is, of course, the crucial time.

"Mrs. and girl, wait, the house has not been opened for a long time, and the slave and maid go into the house to light a stick of incense."

Helu took the incense from the maid and pushed the door into the study first.

Then the windows were pushed open, and the morning sun cast the leaves on the walls, and through the windows on the bookshelves, the Bogu shelves, and the ground.

This vivid and real scene made Changying feel in a trance that as long as she shouted "uncle", Ling Yan would poke her head out of the window and say softly, "Little girl, is it coming to sue your cousin again?" "Like.

Changying stepped through the door, and the smell of agarwood incense wafted faintly.

She looked inside the room, her eyes falling on a pair of armor hanging on the west wall.

The armor was covered with a cloth, and Mrs. Ling uncovered it and said quietly: "It's time to wipe it." She caressed it, her eyes affectionate and sentimental.

Helu immediately went to fetch water and get a veil.

Changying said: "Let's go back and wipe it again, I'm a little hungry, can Mother He help me get some food?" I miss the sauce you made, the chicken feet and the pufferfish. ”

He Lu glanced at Madame Ling and went down with a smile.

Only their aunt and nephew were left in the room, and Madame Ling glanced at Changying with a little inquiry.

She sent the lotus away, apparently trying to get her away.

Changying didn't speak, walked to the bookshelf, skillfully opened the mechanism of the dark room, and then walked in.

There are several night pearls placed in the dark room.

Madame Ling followed inside, and saw her stop in the middle of the small space, facing her to the left.

There is only a strip case on the left, and there is a large incense burner with cloud ears on it.

The base of the incense burner is embedded in the case, and the ashes of the old incense are still accumulated in it. Changying was silent for a while, then stretched out his hands to hold the incense burner, and gently twisted it to separate it from the base.

She reached through the bottom, and a small roll of sheepskin tied to a rope was suddenly carried out by her hand, stained with a few grains of dust.

Mrs. Ling's face was full of surprise: "What is this?" ”

Changying looked at it and said slowly: "When I came back from the coma of the Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of War, my uncle once told me in front of my hospital bed. ”

She opened the rope, looked at it twice, and handed it over: "Auntie, uncle, he never wanted to drive me to a dead end. Maybe he had his idea when he asked me to cooperate with him to do that scene before the battle, but he didn't intend to let me carry this pot forever.

"He's still hiding something here, and he's still planning to use it to prove his innocence one day.

"It's a pity that I didn't think about it until last night."

Ling Yan didn't expect that he would really die because of this, and she would forget a lot of things in the ensuing grief.

In her previous life, everyone fell into such a fate, and it actually had something to do with her negativity, right?

If she had been brave and cheered up a little bit, maybe everyone would have died, at least she could have waited for the truth to come out.

Mrs. Ling sat down on the small round stool and looked at the handwriting on the paper in a daze.

The parchment scroll was densely covered with words, all of which were written by Ling Yan himself.

"He's so ruthless......" she murmured.

Changying squatted down in front of her knees: "Aunt, uncle also has his last resort, and everyone in their position has their last resort, you are willing to forgive him." ”

He also peeked into the secrets of Fu Rong and the emperor, even if he didn't choose to do that scene, they would find a way to get rid of him, and even the entire Ling family. It's just that no one thought that they would finally destroy the Ling family and the Fu family.

"Silly boy, I mean he did to you—" Madame Ling stroked her hair, her eyes already red, "he said he treated you as a daughter, why did he push you down this road again?" ”

Changying covered her hand and curled her lips at her: "It's good for me to be like this, you see, the Ling family has another female general, my father, mother and uncle are in the sky, they will definitely be proud of me, right?" Uncle Feng and the others all think that if I go down from the army, I will have great achievements in the future. ”

Ling Yan, who was like her father, finally left her a way back, which made her heart that had been entangled for so long calm down suddenly.

She no longer felt pain and grievance, and the strength she had held at the beginning was also relaxed.

"yes." Mrs. Ling lowered her head and wiped away her tears, "You have been smart and cute since you were a child, and my aunt has long known that no matter what you do, you will be successful." ”

She smiled and rested on her lap, picking up her soft palm and pressing it to her cheek like she had done when she was a child.
