But I feel more and more that something is wrong, it's not a way to wait like this, I don't know who is behind Master Tian who is instructing him? Zhou Mingmu didn't tell her that she couldn't wait any longer now, she gritted her teeth and asked the coachman to send her to Jinfu with a heart. Knowing that Lin Dongxian was out to see her, Jin Kuiye asked the housekeeper to lead her to the study without saying a word. Jin Kuiye sat behind the bookcase, there were still two account books on the table, and when he saw her walk in, he got up with a smile and greeted: "Dongxian, you are here, come and sit." ”

"No, Boss Jin, I'm just here to ask you, is there any news of my father-in-law?" Since Zhou Mingmu came to find Jin Kuiye, maybe she couldn't tell him anything, but she couldn't be sure of the specifics. When Jin Kuiye heard this, he frowned and said, "I really don't know about this, so I'll send someone to help you inquire, don't be too anxious." Ming Mu is a measured person, I don't think anything should happen. ”

He could only comfort Lin Dongxian as much as possible, lest something happen to her, and he would not be able to explain to Zhou Mingmu. Lin Dongxian repeatedly asked Jin Kuiye to find Zhou Mingmu, but after all, he was still embarrassed to ask him to help find the Wu family. Jin Kuiye has helped a lot, Zhou Mingmu must have looked for him before, so he still went back and waited for the news with peace of mind, no news is good news.

Walking out of Jin Kuiye's study, she breathed a sigh of relief, and a figure suddenly appeared and bumped into her, her arm was hit a little painfully, and she gritted her teeth and rubbed it a few times. "I'm sorry, sister, do you hurt? I heard that you are here, this is not a hurry to see you, I accidentally bumped into you in a hurry, I'm sorry, sister, don't be angry with me. ”

Zhou Mingyue's chattering voice came from her ears, and she swore that she definitely didn't mean to bump into Lin Dongxian, who made her too anxious to see her. Lin Dongxian glared at her angrily, "Hmph, this is the result of what Mrs. Jin taught you, and I don't think that's it." The maids who followed behind Zhou Mingyue heard this, and opened their mouths in surprise, how dare she talk to the eldest lady like this.

The most favored by the lord in the house is the eldest lady, although the lady is very strict with her, but with the protection of the lord, no one dares to bully the eldest lady. I didn't expect Lin Dongxian to dare to scold the eldest lady like this, what qualifications does she have to be the eldest lady's sister, it's really funny. The maids only dare to slander in their hearts, how dare they really say it to their faces.

Zhou Mingyue instantly drooped her shoulders, looked up at her cautiously, stepped forward to hold her arm, and said flatteringly: "Sister, I know it's wrong, I promise that I won't be so reckless next time, and I will definitely be optimistic about the road." Don't be like me, don't mention it in front of my mother, or I'll die. "Jin Kuiye's days in the house are not long, and if he can protect him in front of Mrs. Jin for a while, he can't protect him for a lifetime.

The maids around her are all born to the family, and the deed of sale is in her hands, so they don't dare to spread today's events. Looking at Zhou Mingyue's coquettish appearance, Lin Dongxian couldn't help but smile and stretched out her hand to poke her head: "You, it's not me who said you, you have to have a long memory, don't always let Mrs. Jin worry about you." ”

"Got it, sister, let's go, go to my room and sit down, talk to me, I'm bored." Zhou Mingyue lowered her voice and pleaded, rubbing back and forth beside her. Mrs. Jin looked at her leniently, and asked her to think about it behind closed doors in the house at every turn, and was not allowed to run around. also said that everyone's ladies are not out of the door, if they continue like this for a long time, they will not be able to control themselves when they get to their in-laws' house.

Lin Dongxian is here this time, and she won't let her go easily. Lin Dongxian squinted at her, took a deep breath, and pulled the corners of her mouth: "Let's go!" "Sister, what's wrong with you, do you have something on your mind?" Zhou Mingyue chattered for a long time, and found that Lin Dongxian didn't seem to listen to her words, her eyes were calm, and she reached out and pushed her.

Lin Dongxian smiled unconsciously, "It's nothing, it's not too early, I should go back to the house." Maybe Zhou Mingmu was waiting for her at home, but when she thought of this, she was like an arrow, and she couldn't wait to return home immediately. When Zhou Mingyue heard this, she drooped her little face and pouted: "Sister, I knew that you didn't care about me at all, okay, let's go!" ”

Looking at the angry Zhou Mingyue, she had to coax her patiently again, and before leaving, Zhou Mingyue reluctantly rubbed her head on her, and refused to let go of her hands. "Yue'er, it's not like I'm not coming to see you, after a while, the business of the embroidery room is on the right track, and I'll come over from time to time to talk to you, okay?" Lin Dongxian said in a gentle tone, looking at Zhou Mingyue with red eyes, she was still reluctant to give her up after all.

Yoyo's death was a heavy blow to her, and the last thing she wanted to mention was the death of Yoyo and Xue's mother and son. Zhou Mingyue can actually be lonely, and finally she can have Yoyo to play with her, but she was actually killed by Wei Guoxiang. Zhou Mingyue raised his head and asked, "Really, sister, you didn't lie to me?" ”

"I will do what I say, I won't lie to you!" Lin Dongxian's eyes were a little tender, and Zhou Mingyue was willing to let go and stood at the door to see her off. Until her back disappeared, Zhou Mingyue still stopped where she was and refused to go back, and the maids persuaded her for a long time, but it was thanks to moving out of Mrs. Jin that she turned around and went back to the house. Lin Zhiping had been sitting at the door for a long time waiting for Lin Dongxian to come back, this girl was so late, why didn't she come back?

Maybe something happened to her, and his heart pounded when he thought about it. In three days, the embroidery hall will open, and the girls will come to learn embroidery. Just thinking about Lin Zhiping's brain hurt so much, walking back and forth at the door, many passers-by looked up at him, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at the moment.

"Dong Xian, you come into the house with me, I have something to tell you." Lin Zhiping looked at Lin Dongxian who stepped out of the carriage as if he were like water, and before she could reply, he strode away with his hands in his hands.

Lin Dongxian followed his pace into the house, and as soon as he sat down, Lin Zhiping swept over with a cold eye: "You asked me not to look for your eldest brother, and I was not allowed to report to the official, it's been three days, why hasn't your mother come back?" Dong Xian, is it possible that we have to wait like this forever, when will it be a head? Maybe your mother is suffering, and I can't wait any longer! "With his hands clenched, the Wu family is dying, how can he care about any face, he doesn't care about these false names, as long as the Wu family can come back safely.

Having said that, the Wu family didn't offend anyone in the town, and she rarely went out once, so who would kidnap her? Earlier, he thought that the kidnappers would send a letter to ask them to take the money to ransom the Wu family, but it has been three days, and there is no news at all, which means that they are not seeking money, or they are killed. Lin Dongxian was also a little hesitant, should she ask Lin Zhiping why the Wu family had such a valuable jade pendant.

"Dad, sit down first, I'll ask you something. When my mother first came to Qingping Village, did she tell you why she was alone? In addition, did you mention your maternal grandfather and grandmother, and did your mother have any other siblings? Lin Dongxian stretched out her hand and pulled him to sit down, and asked the question in her heart.

Lin Zhiping hesitated slightly, with a bit of scrutiny on his face: "Dong Xian, what are you asking these for, could it be that this has something to do with your mother's disappearance?" Or did your mother's relatives come over and take her away? There was also the previous disappearance of Lin Lian, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, how could she disappear out of thin air. Zhou Mingmu didn't come back for a long time, she really couldn't sit still.

Hearing Lin Zhiping's words, she seemed to know something, and she must ask. After saying that, Lin Zhiping regretted it, and he coughed unnaturally twice: "Dong Xian, you have something to say!" "Dad, what do you want me to say, all this is my guess."

Lin Dongxian spread her hands at him helplessly, but she couldn't find a clue, so she could only break through from him. "By the way, Dad, you just said that maybe my mother's relatives came and took her away? My mother's relatives are still alive in the world, so why have we never heard my mother mention it before, and where is my mother's ancestral home? Lin Dongxian's series of questions made Lin Zhiping a little headache, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "Dongxian, I don't know." ”

Lin Dongxian: "......" I don't know if it's a little late to say now, didn't I say it just now! "Oh, Dong Xian, don't stare at me with such eyes, okay, I'll just say it. The reason why your mother came to Qingping Village was because there was a big flood in her hometown and drowned all the relatives in the family. Lin Zhiping raised his hand and surrendered to her, he really couldn't do anything about her, who made her gaze too sharp, he couldn't stand it.

Lin Dongxian asked, "Dad, aren't you inconsistent?" "Don't worry, listen to what I said, she did tell me that there are no relatives at home. But in the first few years of getting married, she would have nightmares from time to time, calling her father and mother, and what else was called, don't worry, let me think about it again. Lin Zhiping patted his head with his hand as he spoke, after so many years, if it wasn't for the Wu family's disappearance, he would never want to mention these things again.

What is it called, he just guessed directly that this person was a relative of the Wu family, and Lin Dongxian didn't urge him, let him think slowly, and it was best to think about it.

"By the way, Dongxian, I remembered, it's called Shouxian, your mother still called this name in her dream two years ago, and she cried. I know that your mother doesn't want to mention the sadness of her hometown, so I pretended to be asleep and didn't ask her. In fact, how did she know that when she woke up from a dream, I woke up with it. Lin Zhiping couldn't help but laugh mockingly as he spoke, his love for the Wu family has gone deep into the bone marrow, otherwise he wouldn't be so careful.

As a daughter, she didn't want to criticize Wu's private affairs, so she had to bow her head and play with the silk handkerchief in her hand. "Dad, it's not too early, I should leave too, you rest early, and talk about it tomorrow!" Let her stay at night, and she won't be able to think of any good way for a while. Lin Zhiping didn't speak, and only waved his hand for a while, and Lin Dongxian left knowingly.

In the early morning of the next day, she didn't have the heart to stay in the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop, so she simply gave a few words to the shopkeeper, got into the carriage and left, and came to the Golden Mansion again. As soon as the carriage stopped, she couldn't wait to lift the corner of her skirt and jump down quickly. Just saw Jin Kuiye walking out of the door, followed by two or three followers, she saw this and hurriedly walked over. Jin Kuiye smiled and nodded at her, and she leaned over and whispered, "Boss Jin, can you take a step to speak." ”

Jin Kuiye glanced at her with a slight raised eyebrow, then nodded slightly, and at the same time swayed the folding fan in his hand, with his right hand behind his back, thinking about what Lin Dongxian could say to him. I came here yesterday to inquire about Zhou Mingmu's whereabouts, and the ten little guys had no news from him, so he was in a hurry, and he didn't sleep all night last night. Now there are still two dark circles on his face, Mrs. Jin and Zhou Mingyue looked at him with concern in the morning, looking at the same look of mother and daughter, he couldn't help but feel a little more warm in his heart.

After Lin Dongxian finished speaking, he stood in front of him without humility or arrogance and waited for his answer, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and even the folding fan in his hand was closed, and he slowly lowered his eyes, his expression was dark and uncertain. After a while, he said slowly: "You go to the Li Family Tea House in the south of the city to find the shopkeeper Li, and say that I let you go, and let him lead you to the wing room where I often go." ”

With Jin Kuiye's words, Lin Dongxian saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you Boss Jin, Dongxian will go." Looking at the back of her leaving, Jin Kui stood for a long time and was not born, the little guys looked at each other, lowered their eyebrows, looked at their noses and noses, and did not dare to make a sound. The coachman drove the carriage to take Lin Dongxian to the Li Family Tea House, and the shopkeeper Li listened to her, and without saying a word, he personally led her to the wing room on the second floor.

In less than an hour, there were footsteps outside the door, she put down the tea cup in her hand, got up and walked to the door to greet Jin Kuiye and the others. Jin Kuibiao was a little surprised at first, how could Jin Kuiye let him go to see a little woman, and he mysteriously said that he would know. When he opened the door and saw Lin Dongxian in the house, he instantly knew her identity, the daughter of the Wu family.

She wore a cardigan with yellow flowers on a white background, and a skirt with goose yellow embroidery underneath, and stood lightly in front of him. The slender curly eyelashes cover the cheeks, the slightly pointed chin, the skin is fair, and the head wears a sapphire jade step, which looks even more dazzling. Jin Kuiye smiled and invited Jin Kuibiao and Lin Dongxian to sit down, and then closed the door and left with interest.

Lin Dongxian asked him to find Jin Kuibiao, and she had something to say to him. Jin Kuibiao was wearing a purple robe, with an off-white wide belt around his waist, holding a folding fan in his hand, and glanced at Lin Dongxian calmly: "I don't know what Mrs. Zhou is looking for me?" "He is the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the yamen has a lot of affairs waiting for him to go back to deal with, and he can't delay any longer.

Lin Dongxian smiled brightly, got up and said, "Lord Jin, the concubine wants to ask you what is your relationship with your mother?" "Oh, is this important to Mrs. Zhou?" Jin Kuibiao smiled and opened the folding fan in his hand, didn't he ask knowingly! If it weren't important, she wouldn't be here.

Lin Dongxian said with a serious expression: "It's not a secret, since the day after Lord Jin met her mother, she disappeared at home for no reason. I searched for four days in a row and there was no news, so the concubine asked Boss Jin to invite you over. Master Tian asked Mrs. Tian to inquire about the jade pendant, and she told Jin Kuibiao without reservation, believing that he must be aware of it.
