Mo Jingli asked the secret guard to follow Wu Yue, and asked the dark guard to investigate the origin of this woman.

On the second day, the dark guard came to report Wu Yue's whereabouts. Sure enough, as Mo Jingli expected, the person Wu Yue secretly went to see at night was Lin Zhi.

"Do you hear what they say?" Mo Jingli asked.

The secret guard said with a look of shame: "I'm sorry master, after Wu Yue entered, they entered the secret room, and the villain didn't follow up, for fear of cleaning up the snake, please ask the master to surrender." ”

He waved his hand slightly, and the dark guard retreated in amusement.

Standing alone by the window, thinking about the relationship between Wu Yue and Lin Zhi. Could it be that Wu Yue is Lin Zhiyang's killer? But it doesn't seem reasonable, if it was, she could have killed herself a long time ago. And looking at her appearance, she doesn't seem to know martial arts.

Mo Jingli rubbed his temples that were faintly painful, and he really couldn't figure out the relationship between Lin Zhi and Wu Yue.

At this time, Wu Yue had already seen Lin Zhi sneak back to her room quietly, she thought she was unaware, but she didn't want to, everything was under Mo Jingli's control.

He looked at Wu Yue's back and said in his heart: "Since half of the fox's tail has been exposed, then I want to see how long you can hide the remaining half." ”

On the second day, Mo Jingli and Tian Yao took Wu Yue into Xuancheng and came to Lin Zhi's mansion.

Mo Jingli secretly observed Wu Yue and found that there was nothing unusual. Secretly said: "Wait and see Lin Zhi to see if you can still be so calm and hide your fox tail." ”

Inside the Hayashi Mansion.

At this time, Lin Zhi was reading a book in the study of the house, and when he heard the report from the housekeeper in the house, Mo Jingli and Tian Yao were very surprised when they returned to the city with Wu Yue and came to their own house, and secretly thought in their hearts: "Could it be that Wu Yue's identity is exposed?" ”

Either way, it's not good. Especially Mo Jingli, it is very difficult, Wu Yue has been by her side for so long, and she can't get close to him, which shows how deep this person's mind is.

Lin Zhi thought about it for a while, and then asked the housekeeper to tell Mo Jing that they had gone out to visit friends by themselves and had not returned. If they ask about the date of return, they say, "The date of return is undecided." ”

In short, send them away first and then make another plan, and the housekeeper sent Mo Jing away from them according to Lin Zhi's instructions.

Mo Jingli also knew that the so-called non-return of his friends was just Lin Zhi's excuse, and Lin Zhi must be in his mansion at this time.

But since Lin Zhi shirked it like this, it was not good for them and his party to stay in this mansion any longer.

Mo Jingli stood up and said, "In this case, Ah Yao and I will leave first, and when the city lord comes back, we will come to disturb us." ”

At this moment, Lin Xuan came back from outside, and as soon as he saw Mo Jingli and Tian Yao, the former humiliation and anger came to his head. But the losses he suffered at Mo Jingli's hands in the past also made him fearful.

Then he instructed the people around him: "Arrest these two people for me immediately, and the master will be rewarded." He himself hid in a safe corner.

But at this time, Lin Xuan saw an unusually familiar figure. It's Wu Yue, it's really Wu Yue, Lin Xuan couldn't believe his eyes.

I thought about it for a long time, and the person I had been looking for for a long time actually appeared in my house.

Back then, when Wu Yue was still a drunken and breezy Oiran, Lin Xuan was obsessed with her, spent 20,000 taels of silver to help her redeem herself, and brought her back to the mansion, intending to marry her, for which she was almost crippled by Lin Zhi. even did not hesitate to confront Lin Zhi in the old-fashioned way of hunger strike.

Although Lin Zhi knew that Lin Xuan was acting for him, he would not really starve himself to death. But looking at his son's weak appearance on the bed, he sighed helplessly: "Since you want to marry, then marry." ”

But what everyone didn't expect was that Wu Yue suddenly died on the eve of the wedding.

Now that Lin Xuan thinks about it, Wu Yue didn't die violently at all, but Lin Zhi, an old fox, was behind his back.

How could he agree so easily to let him marry a woman from a green house.

"Hmph, isn't it just for the face of a city lord?"

Angry, he went to Lin Zhi to confront him.

Wu Yue saw Lin Xuan's face unconsciously showing guilt, after all, he was the one who redeemed himself back then, and gave him family-like care when he was about to forget the feeling of being treated sincerely.

So on the eve of the wedding, she planned to run away secretly. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi asked, "Aren't you willing to marry my son?"

Now that he has been caught, Wu Yue didn't think that he could escape, so he said to Lin Zhi: "I am grateful to Lin Zhi for saving me from the fire pit in the Qinglou, but gratitude is not love, I don't like Lin Xuan, I won't be happy if I marry him, and Lin Xuan won't be happy if I marry a woman who doesn't love him." I hope that the city lord will be fulfilled, let me go. ”

Lin Zhi looked at Wu Yue's firm face, sighed and said, "That's it, since you don't like my son, I can't force you to be together, but if you want to leave, you must promise me a condition, as long as you can do it, I will return your freedom." ”

When Mo Jingli and Tian Yao saw Lin Xuan's eyes looking at Wu Yue and the unnatural look on Wu Yue's face, the two of them concluded at the same time that Wu Yue must have had a relationship with Lin Xuan.

Because Lin Xuan's eyes when he looked at Wu Yue were not only shocked, but also contained strong love.

Mo Jingli and Lin Yao quickly exchanged looks, and left Lin Zhi's mansion with Wu Yue. When they returned to the inn, the two tied up Wu Yue and locked him in the room.

At this time, in the Lin Mansion, in Lin Zhi's study, Lin Xuan was arguing with Lin Zhi.

Lin Xuan's face flushed, his lips kept rolling, his hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of anger and said: "Did you force Wu Yue away in the first place, I said how did you agree to this marriage so easily, it turns out that you have already arranged it." I finally moved Wu Yue, and she agreed to marry me, why do you want to break us up, and ask why you want to break us up. ”

Lin Zhi didn't know how to explain what had happened to his son.

Lin Xuan looked at his father, who was silent, and suddenly remembered that Wu Yue and Mo Jing had left them again just now.

Don't...... No, it must not be like that.

At this time, Lin Xuan's face was like dirt, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, as if he had lost his voice, and his shocked eyes stared at Lin Zhi's face.

After a while, he squeezed out a sentence from his mouth with difficulty, "Dad, why did Wu Yue leave them with Mo Jing?" You didn't arrange it. Dad, did you give Wu Yue as a gift to Mo Jingli. ”

"Dad, do you know that my son really likes Wu Yue, and my son has never liked someone so much. I know that Dad, you look down on me, and think that I am a thing that does not learn countless and has no interest. But, Father, why can't you fulfill your son? Lin Xuan said indifferently.

Before Lin Zhi could speak, Lin Xuan suddenly knelt in front of Lin Zhi.

"Dad, if I beg you, you will fulfill me and Wu Yue. The son has never begged you for anything, the son begs you this time, you let your son marry Wu Yue. ”

Lin Zhi looked at his son's unsuccessful appearance, and sighed infinitely in his heart.

I think when I was so big, I could stand alone and become the lord of a city. Look at his good son again, there is no trace of his original decision to kill.

He thumped his hands and said, "A man has gold under his knees, how can you do this for a woman." Look at your current appearance, where is there a shadow of our Lin family. ”

Lin Xuan looked at Lin Zhi's face full of disappointment, Lin Zhi's disappointed expression, Lin Xuan had seen it countless times over the years.

When he was a child, whenever he couldn't memorize a book or made a mistake in practicing martial arts, his father always had this look, even if he did it right, his father never praised and encouraged him, so in the end, he was unlearned, timid and cowardly.

Lin Xuan looked at Lin Zhi's face and said, "Dad, let me ask you again, can you let your son marry Wu Yue." ”

Lin Zhi gritted his teeth and said: "I'll tell you again, it's impossible, a family like ours is absolutely not allowed to be a housewife who is a Qinglou woman, and Wu Yue doesn't like you at all." Son, as a man, we have to know how to make trade-offs, how can we ruin the future of our lives for a woman. Don't forget that you will take over your father's position in the future and be in charge of the entire Xuancheng. ”

Lin Xuan also calmed down at this time, and said calmly to his father: "Dad, since you are so stubborn, please forgive your son for being unfilial, my son doesn't want to be a city lord in this life, and my son just wants to be with the most beloved woman." ”

After speaking, Lin Xuan turned around and walked out of the study, leaving Lin Zhi standing there alone.

Lin Xuan found the inn where Mo Jingli and Tian Yao were staying.

Mo Jingli played with the teacup in his hand and looked at Lin Xuan, who was hostile to him. The two were at such a stalemate, and neither of them would take the initiative to speak.

In the end, Lin Xuan couldn't hold back and took the lead in speaking: "Mo Jingli, you return Wu Yue to me, and the previous accounts between the two of us will be written off from now on, how about it?" I didn't expect the master to let you go so easily. ”

She looked at Lin Xuan, slowly took a sip of tea and said, "What if I don't agree?" How will you be? ”

Mo Jing's appearance at this time made Lin Xuan itch with hatred.

Then he said to Mo Jingli fiercely: "Mo Jingli, don't toast and don't eat and drink, and you don't look at whose territory you are in now, as long as the master says a word, you don't want to leave Xuancheng alive." ”

Mo Jingli looked up at Lin Xuan, and said with a smile: "Oh, really? ”

Lin Xuan thought of the losses he had suffered under Mo Jingli before, and he had no confidence, so he said angrily: "Mo Jingli, as long as you can return Wu Yue to me, I will promise you no matter what conditions you make." ”

Squinting his peach blossom eyes, he spoke: "You promise me no matter what the conditions?" ”

"As long as I, Lin Xuan, can do it, I will promise you no matter what the conditions."

Mo Jingli put down the teacup and said heartily, "Okay, Lin Gongzi is really a cheerful person, in fact, my condition is very simple, that is, I want to meet Lord Ling Zun again, but you also know that there were some unpleasant things before Xia and Ling Zun, so Ling Zun is not willing to meet with him, I don't know what Lin Gongzi can do." ”
