Jin Kuibiao's narrow eyes flashed a trace of coldness, closed the folding fan in his hand, and said seriously: "According to Mrs. Zhou's meaning, Lingtang is likely to be abducted by Master Tian?" ”

"That's true, that's why the concubine will find Lord Jin and ask you what your relationship is with your mother, I heard Boss Jin mention it before, you are the deceased of your mother. What is the allusion to that jade pendant? The mother is missing, and the concubine is so anxious, and she asks Lord Jin to atone for her sins. Lin Dongxian's expression was still respectful, but her face was a little more resolute. Jin Kuibiao is an official of the imperial court, and she can ask for her life for any reason, but she really has no choice, so she will make this decision to find him.

"Mrs. Zhou, what is my relationship with Ling Tang, let Ling Tang tell you, since I know, I will not sit idly by. Don't worry, within three days, I will definitely bring Lingtang to you. Jin Kuibiao's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, he didn't expect that in this small town, a rich businessman would actually do such an act, which is really despicable. Even if he wanted to take the Wu family away, he never thought of using such a trivial method.

If she could get Wu out, maybe she would be willing to leave with him to meet the old man, her fingers bent on the table and kept knocking. When Lin Dongxian heard this, with incredible ecstasy on her face, she said: "Thank you, Lord Jin, the concubine has thanked Lord Jin for her mother." ”

"Hey, if Mrs. Zhou is really sincere, let Ling Tang personally thank me and say goodbye!" Jin Kuibiao immediately got up and left, and before Jin Kuiye could say a few words to him, he left with the guards. Glancing back at Lin Dongxian in the room, her face was calm, and it seemed that the two of them were talking very harmoniously. In this way, he can also explain to Mrs. Jin and Zhou Mingyue's mother and daughter, and Lin Dongxian has a lot of friendship with them.

Jin Kuibiao did what he said, and in less than three days, he asked people to send Wu to the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop. Lin Dongxian put down the account book in her hand at the moment, got up to support Wu, thanked the guards repeatedly, and took out the money bag from her sleeve and handed it over. The guard took a few steps back and excused himself: "Mrs. Zhou, this is a matter within the scope of the slave, but the lord has explained, let the lady not forget your agreement." ”

Wu's legs were weak, his chest was out of breath, and his complexion was not very good-looking. The clothes on her body were still the same as they were worn on the day of her disappearance, and they were not untidy at all, and it seemed that no one had done anything to her, and the big stone hanging in the air fell to the ground. helped Wu to the backyard to lie down to rest, and instructed the kitchen to cook her a bowl of ginseng soup before she took Wu's hand and sat down.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, could everything be Jin Kuibiao's plan, he sent someone to kidnap the Wu family, and then waited for her to come to him and beg him to come to his rescue. In this way, Jin Kuibiao has become the lifesaver of their mother and daughter, is this possible? He does have this motive, and if you think about it carefully, Zhou Mingmu once followed the little girl who was hurrying at the gate of Tianfu overnight, and the content of the letter could not have been written by Jin Kuibiao.

Thinking about it like this, she felt much more at ease, and she couldn't help but feel a little self-blame, how could she suspect Jin Kuibiao at will. Send a guy back to tell Lin Zhiping and let him rest assured that the Wu family has returned to the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop safe and sound. Lin Zhiping hurriedly was led to the yard by the guy, and when she heard footsteps, she folded the futon, walked to the door softly and closed the door, put her hand on her mouth and shrugged Lin Zhiping, asking him not to make a sound.

Lin Zhiping walked up to her in three steps and two steps, and asked, "Dong Xian, how is your mother, is she injured?" "Dad, don't worry, my mother is fine, I just woke up and drank a bowl of ginseng soup, and now I have fallen asleep." Lin Dongxian said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, seeing her say this, Lin Zhiping's big stone hanging in the air finally landed. In the evening, Wu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Zhiping and Lin Dongxian standing in front of her, her nose was sour, and her tears couldn't help falling anymore.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiping hurriedly squatted down, wiped the two lines of tears on her cheeks with his sleeves at a loss, and said softly: "Qianying, don't cry, don't cry, it's all my uselessness, I didn't protect you." Qianying, they all say that I am not good. Seeing that Wu was crying so much, he couldn't help but redden.

Lin Dongxian: "......" She still turned around and left, and let the couple talk. What the guard said before leaving, she didn't forget that her agreement with Jin Kuibiao was to let the Wu family go to see Jin Kuibiao in person. In any case, Jin Kuibiao rescued Wu as her benefactor. Tomorrow, she will persuade the Wu family to go out.

Wu is back, she can't help but worry about Zhou Mingmu, he has been five days and hasn't come back yet, is something wrong? Jin Kuiye said that he ordered ten little guys to follow him, and he didn't think there would be much danger, so he could only comfort himself. It's useless to be anxious, Lin Dongxian slept very unsteadily this night, and in the morning Wu saw her staring at two dark circles and walked to her bed, and said with concern: "Dongxian, why didn't you sleep well?" By the way, I didn't seem to see Ming Mu yesterday, what about others? ”

asked Lin Zhiping, he didn't know what to ask, Wu sent him back, Lin Zhiping was reluctant at first, but when he saw Wu's cold face, he had to turn around and go back.

"He's out for something, and he'll come back in a few days, mother, don't worry about him, it'll be fine." In front of the Wu family, she couldn't tell her everything, which made the Wu family even more worried. Raising her eyes and glancing at Wu, her complexion was much better, and Lin Dongxian gave her a massage while whispering to her about Jin Kuibiao saving her. Wu was silent for a moment, bowing his head and not squeaking.

Lin Dongxian was not in a hurry to urge her to make a decision, and after a while, Wu raised his head and said firmly: "Okay, I'll go with you to thank him." "This trip, knowing that it's not that simple, she still has to go. When Jin Kuiye heard that Lin Dongxian and the Wu family were coming over and were going to see Jin Kuibiao, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, and said with a soft smile: "Okay, Dongxian, you wait, I'll arrange it." ”

With Jin Kuiye's arrangement, they soon met Jin Kuibiao, and the little maid had already been instructed, respectfully opened the door and let them in, making a gesture of inviting them in. Jin Kuiye got up and went to the guest room next door, and Wu glanced back at Lin Dongxian, "Dongxian, I want to thank Lord Jin alone." ”

"Mother, then I'll wait for you outside." Lin Dongxian smiled slightly, it was good that the Wu family could come on this trip, as for what she said to Jin Kuibiao, I believe she would know afterwards. Jin Kuiye looked at Lin Dongxian who walked in, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" "Boss Jin, look at what you said, why can't I come." Lin Dongxian sat down unhurriedly, Jin Kuiye raised her eyebrows, and continued to drink tea with the teacup in her hand, ignoring her.

After a cup of tea, Wu's kind voice sounded outside the door: "Dong Xian, are you in the house?" "Mother, I'm here." Lin Dongxian happily got up and replied, and at the same time turned back to Jin Kuiye and bowed deeply: "Boss Jin, thank you, I will definitely come to the door to thank you in person another day." ”

"Dong Xian, you're welcome, if you're free, remember to come to the house more often to talk to Yue'er." Jin Kuiye smiled and put down the tea cup in his hand, for him Zhou Mingyue was his own daughter, and sometimes he knew that Mrs. Jin was too strict with her. Girls should be pampered, and it is not in the way to spoil her in everything, but Mrs. Jin is determined to make her a beautiful lady and a famous lady.

Then he had no choice, he could only hope that Lin Dongxian would come to persuade her, the relationship between the two of them was not ordinarily deep, and he had already seen it. The reason why Zhou Mingmu and Lin Dongxian are valued so much is that Zhou Mingyue has a lot of credit. In an instant, a smile appeared in Lin Dongxian's quiet eyes, and she said in a gentle tone: "Okay, then I'll leave first." ”

Turning to leave, looking at Wu outside the door, the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, then got into the carriage and went back to the Ruyi embroidery workshop together. Along the way, she wanted to ask Wu countless times what she said to Jin Kuibiao, but unfortunately she saw that Wu had his eyes closed and looked unwilling to speak, so she didn't ask. The carriage stopped slowly, the coachman jumped down, took a small stool and put it on the ground, Lin Dongxian jumped down quickly, turned her head and stretched out her hand towards Wu, and affectionately helped her down.

In the evening, Lin Zhiping specially brought fish soup over, Wu ate two bowls, and the remaining two bowls, and the couple forced Lin Dongxian to drink it. She originally wanted Lin Zhiping to drink it, or leave it to the Wu family tomorrow, but the two of them kept muttering in her ear, if she didn't drink these two bowls of fish soup, she probably didn't want to sleep peacefully tonight. Lin Zhiping refused to leave for a long time, and it seemed that he was going to stay with the Wu family tonight.

That was exactly what Lin Dongxian wanted, she wanted to go back and wait for Zhou Mingmu to come back. "Dad, you just stay with your mother, I'll go back, I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning!" Lin Dongxian winked at Lin Zhiping as she spoke, Lin Zhiping smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, Dongxian, then you go back quickly, it's too late and it's not safe." ”

Lin Dongxian was just about to nod and speak when he was interrupted by Wu's cold voice: "Since you know that it's too late and it's not safe, then what are you letting Dongxian go back for?" It's better for you to go back, and let Dong Xian stay and sleep with me tonight. Speaking of which, since Dong Xian got married, our mother and daughter have not slept together. There were still some whispers I wanted to tell her, and Wu's gentle gaze surrendered to Lin Dongxian.

Lin Zhiping couldn't help but slander in his heart, their husband and wife may not have slept together for a long time, she is too favoritous, but unfortunately Lin Dongxian is their biological daughter, he can't say this. Lin Dongxian could only watch Lin Zhiping go to the door and watch him get into the ox cart, "Dad, then you be careful." He said uneasily. A smile rose at the corner of Lin Zhiping's mouth, and he urged: "Dongxian, I know, don't stand outside, it's too cold, come into the house and accompany your mother." I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning, and I'll come into the house. ”

"No, Dad, you go first, and when you leave, I'll go into the house." Lin Dongxian's slap-sized face was extremely stubborn, Lin Zhiping shook his head angrily, and as soon as the whip in his hand was shaken, the ox cart gradually disappeared from her field of vision. Seeing Lin Dongxian walk in, Wu beckoned to her with a smile: "Come and lie down and talk to me." She had already gone to bed, warmed the quilt, and waited for her.

Lin Dongxian lifted the corner of her skirt and walked to the side of the bed, lying next to Wu. "Dong Xian, do you want to know what my relationship with Lord Jin is?" Just when Lin Dongxian was about to fall asleep, Wu suddenly said. Instantly swept away all her sleepiness, Lin Dongxian turned around and glanced at the Wu family in the dark, and said slowly: "Mother, I want to know, but if you don't want to say it, I won't force you." ”

Wu Shi, who was in the dark, sighed deeply, "Dong Xian, I didn't expect Lord Jin to find me, I thought I would never have any contact with the people in the capital again in my life." "People from the capital, Lin Dongxian's heart trembled when she heard this, could it be that the Wu family came out of the capital? She has long felt that Wu's temperament is not ordinary, not like a small family from an ordinary family.

Even if she has lived in Qingping Village for more than ten years, she still can't hide her all-round temperament. Lin Dongxian didn't say anything, and then Wu said slowly to her, Wu came from an official family in the capital, and had a cousin who was a childhood sweetheart since he was a child, in the eyes of outsiders, they were a pair made in heaven, she told herself since she was a child that she would be her cousin's wife when she grew up.

But I didn't expect that one day, this dream actually collapsed, and speaking of this, Wu's crystal tears kept falling. Lin Dongxian turned to the side in distress and hugged her tightly, "Mother, don't say it, don't say it." This is Wu's deepest secret, and telling her now is equivalent to sprinkling salt on her wound and tearing the original wound open again, she really can't bear it.

But since Wu Shi spoke, he would not stop again, and gently stroked Lin Dongxian's hair behind him, stroked her back, and shook his head: "Dongxian, I'm fine, you let me continue to finish." She said so, Lin Dongxian could only silently take a handkerchief to help her wipe the tears on her cheeks.

"Your grandfather died, and the family was already sparsely populated, and your grandfather only had one wife, your maternal grandmother, who was injured when she gave birth to me, and could no longer have children. Even so, your grandfather still didn't take a concubine, and it was because of their affection that I fell in love with my cousin. When I went to my cousin, he actually told me that he was going to marry a wife, and told me not to go to him again, let alone pester him.

At that time, of course, I was unwilling and pressed him to ask him, but unfortunately I didn't ask anything. Later, I learned from my aunt that your grandfather had died, and that there were only two orphans and widows in the family, your grandmother and me, and that my cousin was going to marry a wife who would help him in his career. I still remember the sarcasm in my words, so I gave up later, but I didn't expect that God would take away your grandfather and your grandmother. My cousin got married, what is the use of me guarding the huge mansion alone, I sold the property in the family, and took the nurse and the two of them to go to Jiangnan to find a quiet water town, buy a house, and never set foot in the capital half a step. ”

Saying that, the Wu family stopped, Lin Dongxian listened to it with relish, and it stopped abruptly, she was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Mother, why didn't you go to Jiangnan later, but went to Qingping Village and was rescued by my father?" Everyone in the village knew that Lin Zhiping went out to save the Wu family, but later she didn't marry, so she had a long trouble with the Zhao family, and she didn't hesitate to force each other with death.
