Chapter Forty-Eight: The First Trial

Lin Ruochan put away her tears, tidied up Xue'er's messed hair again, wiped away her tears, then sniffed and said, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and a girl who seemed to be younger than Xue'er walked in, with a heroic spirit, but the beautiful goose egg face was full of smiles, and she walked towards Lin Ruochan and said coquettishly: "Mother, since Yu'er came back, you have been busy with Xue'er's affairs, and you don't even have time to pay attention to Yu'er?" ”

Xue'er was on Lin Ruochan's left side, so she sat directly on Lin Ruochan's right side, and affectionately grabbed Lin Ruochan's arm and shook it: "Could it be that in my mother's eyes, there is only Xue'er ......?"

Shan Yu seemed to think of something again, his face instantly darkened, but he forced a smile again, and said, "I heard it outside the door just now, did my mother say that she wanted to treat Xue'er as her daughter, so I would have one more sister?" ”

Lin Ruochan's face also turned pale for a moment, she smiled reluctantly, and said angrily: "Isn't it good to have multiple sisters, are you still afraid that she will take away her mother's favor?" ”

Shan Yu was like a kitten, rubbing on Lin Lin Ruochan's arm, and raised his head when he heard the words: "Then I have an extra sister to spoil me!" ”

"You Nizi!"

Lin Ruochan stretched out a green jade finger, pointed at Shan Yu's forehead, and then hugged Xue'er: "You two are my good boys." ”

This was the first time Xue'er had seen Lin Ruochan's sincere smile, although her face was still pale.

Princess Lingxin looked at everything in front of her, her eyes were slightly red, and the envy in her eyes couldn't be suppressed. She forced a laugh, took two quick steps in front of Lin Ruochan, squatted down and lay on her knees: "You can't be eccentric, there is Lingxin!" ”

Lin Ruochan was taken aback by Lingxin's actions, no matter what, the other party is the princess, even if she squats in front of her, it is very disrespectful. However, Lingxin didn't give her a chance to say no at all, a thin mist was stored in her big eyes, and said: "Even if I am a princess, what about my noble status, and I am not an orphan girl when I return to the palace with my father, not even a mother!" ”

"Madame should hurt me." After Lingxin finished speaking, the mist accumulated in her eyes became thicker and thicker, and finally turned into crystal tears and dripped on Lin Ruochan's dress.

Although I don't know why the princess of Lingxin Hall was sent out of the palace, she was also taken to the Holy Maiden Island and became a saint of Sangong. But if her biological mother is alive, I'm afraid that such a thing will not happen.

However, in the end, it was a royal secret, and it was inconvenient for several people to ask more, so they had to keep silent.

Lin Ruochan paused for a moment, and did not refuse, let Lingxin lie on her lap, hugged Xue'er with one hand, and Shan Yu with the other, with a kind and kind smile on the corner of her mouth: "Okay, good, you are all good children." ”

As she spoke, she wanted to cry again, but Lingxin raised her hand and wiped it away with her sleeve.

The three girls snuggled up to Lin Ruochan, who was like a mother, and the room was quiet for a while. Until footsteps rang out the door again.

The footsteps stopped at the door again, but there was no knock on the door, only someone whispered, "Madame?" ”

Lin Ruochan retracted the smile on her face, and the three girls also got up separately and resumed their upright sitting appearance. 、

Shan Yu tugged at Lin Ruochan's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, Fang Caiyu'er came to find Sister Xue'er on her father's order." But ......"

In fact, it's nothing, it's just that after Shan Yu came in, he patronized and coquettishly with Lin Ruochan, and completely left this matter behind.

Lin Ruochan nodded, but Xue'er was stunned: Shan Yu and Shan Tianying's father, that is naturally Shan Zheng, the owner of Providence Villa. But what is the villa looking for itself?

Could it be that he knew that he accepted the identity of his brother-in-law's daughter, so he also rushed to recognize his relatives? But do you have that much face? If you want to recognize this parent, you have to be a junior to meet others, why do you let Shan Yu come to him alone?

Xue'er was puzzled, so she stopped thinking about it. While she was thinking, Shan Zheng had already pushed open the door and strode in.

This is the first time that Xue'er has observed Shan Zheng up close since she came to Providence Mountain Villa. He is a middleman in his forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that are shallow and restrained, which at first glance look plain, but when you look closely, they are dark and deep, with a wise light that exudes insight into the world and people's hearts.

The clothes on his body are also very ordinary, not expensive fabrics, but when worn on his body, there is a kind of solemnity everywhere, which makes people feel extremely fair and benevolent.

It's just that Shan Zheng's face is not very good-looking at the moment, and even there is a trace of anxiety in his eyes, he looked at Xue'er, and then at Lin Ruochan, asking what with his eyes.

Couples for many years can naturally know each other's thoughts with just one eye movement. Although Lin Ruochan still had a trace of resentment on her face, she endured it in the end and nodded lightly.

Shan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned his gaze to Xue'er, and said, "It is really a sight to be able to find the long-lost daughter of my righteous brother." Unexpectedly, Brother Ao's daughter has become a Tingting girl in a blink of an eye, if he knows, he should be gratified. ”

He looked Xue'er up and down a few more times, and while talking about the past between him and Shen Ao, his attitude was just right, which not only reflected the love of the elders, but was not too close to the nickname, Xue'er's heart was cramped and uneasy, and he answered half of the questions from time to time.

However, Shan Zheng obviously came for something, so there were not too many greetings and politeness, so he turned to the topic: "Xue'er, when things happened suddenly, my uncle said it directly." ”

Seeing Xue'er nodding, he continued: "Listen to Tianying, have you carefully studied the human skins of the two Scattered Gong Holy Maidens at the beginning? ”

When it came to the Holy Maiden of Sangong, Xue'er's expression became solemn, so she briefly told Shan Zheng what Lingxin saw that day again. Shan Zheng smiled bitterly: "The situation you said is now known to almost everyone in the entire mountain villa." ”

He paused before saying, "I just want to ask, do you really have a way to solve this problem?" Even if it is to dissipate their internal force and become ordinary people. ”

Xue'er shook her head and hesitated, "It's just an idea, and I haven't really practiced it yet." ”

Shan Zheng frowned, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Just now, another human skin of the Scattered Gong Holy Maiden appeared at the gate of the Providence Villa. ”

Not only Xue'er, but even Shan Yu, Lingxin and Lin Ruochan also changed their faces at the same time, and they asked almost at the same time: "Another one?" ”

Shan Zheng's expression became solemn: "Counting the previous ones, there are already five." ”

Xue'er knew that after she followed the Emperor of Dongling Kingdom to the Heavenly Providence Villa yesterday, there had already been two human skins of the Holy Maiden of Sangong. And yesterday afternoon, Xuanyuan Yu took advantage of the chaos of two more scattered saint women's skins to sneak into the Providence Villa, half threatening and half coaxing her out of the Providence Villa.

Today is the third day that she followed the Emperor of Dongling Kingdom to the Providence Villa, and she actually appeared for the third time!

Thinking of the human skin of the Sangong Holy Maiden, and thinking of what happened outside the Jade City at noon today, Xue'er was confused for a while, but she listened to Shan Zheng and continued: "The other party's move is just to force the Heavenly Providence Villa to gather all the Sangong Holy Maidens again. But they are really all concentrated, but I am afraid that it will also reach the point where the other party will come out of the nest, besiege the Providence Villa, and seize the Holy Maiden of Sangong. But if you don't gather it, I'm afraid that there will be new human skins tomorrow......"

The more he spoke, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and the more solemn his face became, and then he simply wrinkled out a deep "Chuan" character.

Xue'er asked, "So, has Uncle Shan gathered those Sangong saints who were sent out again?" ”

Shan Zheng bowed slightly: "If you don't gather those scattered saints, I'm afraid that within ten days, the front of the Providence Villa will be full of human skins." ”

His brows were still furrowed: "I have sent all the people who can be sent out, all of them, and try to find all the Sangong Holy Maidens who have found their relatives in their hometowns, and then find them back." ”

"And what about after you gather it?" Xue'er asked again, "Do you want to gather together and let the Chengtian Sect take it away together?" ”

"Of course not! Shan Zheng said categorically, "After knowing that you also studied the human skin." I have already sent someone to ask the famous 'ghost hand poison doctor' in the rivers and lakes to talk about his pity, and when the time comes, I can always come up with a way to completely solve the problem of the saints of Sangong, turn them into ordinary women, and then repatriate them to their hometowns again." ”

Xue'er also agreed with Shan Zheng's approach in her heart, after all, a group of ordinary women, even if the Chengtian Sect snatched it back, it was useless.

She and Shan Zheng are talking here, Lingxin and Shan Yu are fine, but Lin Ruochan is already a little dissatisfied: "That is the case, then you go and wait to talk about it, what are you doing here?" ”

It turned out that there seemed to be some knots between these two people, and the tacit understanding just now was just because of herself, Xue'er was secretly funny in her heart, but she listened to Shan Zhengdao: "If you don't see the beginning and the end of the dragon, you may not be able to find it immediately." What's more, even if he finds it, he may not be able to come up with the medicine to solve the Sangong Holy Maiden immediately. So—"

"So before you find Tan Xi, you still want Xue'er to be spare?" In front of the three girls, Lin Ruochan unceremoniously dismantled Shan Zheng's stage, "There is no suspicion of employing people, no suspicion is used, what are you looking for to talk about and what are you looking for Xue'er?" ”

Regarding his wife's snatching of white, Shan Zheng had no choice but to smile wryly, not justifying anything, but just focusing on Xue'er's body with an inquiring gaze.

Xue'er sighed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but even if it's just the backup of that poison doctor, Xue'er will definitely go." After all, it is about the lives of more than 100 Sangong saintesses, including Xue'er herself, as well as Lingxin and Ah Yu. It is better to surrender your life to someone else than to yourself. ”

Lingxin understood, so she helped: "Okay, Xue'er, I support you!" If you can really develop a drug that relieves the internal force of the Holy Maiden of Scattered Gong and becomes human skin, I will be the first to try it! ”

Lingxin's words not only made Shan Zheng and Lin Ruochan, but even Xue'er was startled, and then she was full of emotion: in the end, she is a good sister who has been friends for many years, and she is always willing to believe in herself without any conditions.

However, before Shan Zheng could speak out, a person hurriedly appeared at the door again: "Shan Zhuang owner ......"
