The wind whined in the night, and Bai Lan curled up in the corner of the wood room, and the dark room was gray and cold with only a candle flickering by candlelight.

The mother-in-law sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals drank the tea in the bowl before she glanced at her who was half dead: "You just tell the truth, who is the person who helps Miss Seven behind the scenes?" ”

"No one." Bai Lan coughed lightly, but her mouth was full of blood.

Seeing that she still refused to speak, the mother-in-law raised the whip in her hand and whipped it again, and when she saw her skin and flesh turned over, she said coldly: "This is not the Lin Mansion, no one knows that you are here, even if Miss Seven makes trouble with the old lady, she can't save you, you'd better say something, otherwise I don't know when this crime will be received." ”

Bai Lan bit her lip and looked at the mother-in-law with a hideous face and shrank back, but she didn't say a word.

Outside, the snow was raging, and all that remained in the empty courtyard was the crackling of whips on people and the muffled moans of pain.

Lin Jinwen had no idea that the person had been sent outside by the old lady, and now she was sitting in the old lady's courtyard.

The old lady glanced at the "Female Virtue" sent by her, even though she was unhappy in her heart, she only smiled on her face: "If you want to send something, just ask the maid to send it, why do you still run it yourself." ”

Seeing that she seemed to be confident, Lin Jinwen became more and more sure that Bai Lan was in her hands, and only smiled lightly: "The girl in the courtyard is lazy and slippery, and she refuses to clean normally, where is she willing to run on this snowy night." ”

"Where's your two close-fitting girls?" The old lady asked casually.

"Bai Lan has disappeared since she went to the Hou Mansion, and I will ask Mrs. Hou for someone tomorrow." Lin Jinwen looked at her and continued: "Bai Lan is also a member of the Xu family, if Mrs. Hou likes to detain it, I will allow it, and the Xu family will not allow it." ”

The old lady didn't care when she heard it at first, the Xu family was down, and they were not in the capital, so what if they weren't allowed?

She raised her eyes to look at Lin Jinwen, but she was more and more like the Xu family's young lady, with a white Luo skirt, a silver Yingluo sheep fat jade pendant hanging around her waist, and a black bun with only two strands of simple hosta behind her, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she looked more and more like her dead mother!

Thinking of this, the old lady felt unhappy for a while. What about the Xu family, and what about the scholarly family? No matter how rich and powerful she used to be, she can't compare to her now.

Her eyes flashed, and she looked at Lin Jin's gentle smile: "You are close to Mrs. Hou, and you must also be well measured, just a maid......

"How could my grandmother say that. Bai Lan is Jin Wu's personal girl, bullying her is to bully me, to bully the Xu family, the Xu family is down, my grandfather is still hanging the name of the emperor, the emperor knows, not to make a big move, and he must keep it in mind in the future. Lin Jinwen looked at her and said steadily.

The old lady was weak when she heard this, but she still held on to her face, and before she could speak, the mother-in-law outside suddenly ran in: "Old lady, the ancestral hall is on fire again!" ”

The old lady's face sank: "How do you look at it, how can it catch fire again?" ”

"The slave doesn't know." The mother-in-law was also at a loss.

The ancestral hall is a place to worship ancestors, but whenever something happens to the ancestral hall, there will be rumors that there is no misconduct in the family that provokes the wrath of the sky, and the old lady, as the head of the family, can not afford such a responsibility, and hurriedly said: "Quickly find someone to put out the fire." After that, he looked at Lin Jinwen, who was still sitting in the room drinking tea, and frowned slightly: "Jinwen, this fire ......."

"What's wrong with the fire?" Lin Jinwen looked at her lightly. Since she refused to let go of Bai Lan, don't blame her for not letting her go.

The old lady looked at her like this, her face was slightly tight, but she cared about the fire, and said, "That's it, it's not early, you should go back and rest early." ”

"Yes." Lin Jinwen got up and obediently complied, and when she saluted and left, she looked back at the door, and a mother-in-law was lifting the curtain to look at her quietly, and when she saw her turn around, she hurriedly shrank back in fright.

The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were coldly hooked, her eyes swept the big courtyard with a slight coolness, and she walked away.

When Mother Xu, who was peeking at her, saw her leaving, she hurriedly turned around and said, "Old lady, let's go." ”

"Hmm." The old lady frowned, glanced at the "Female Virtue" on the table, and felt a drum in her heart, as if something bad was going to happen. After thinking about it, he glanced at Xu's mother: "Tell me to go down, if that girl can't ask anything, she will dispose of it as soon as possible, and don't leave traces." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Mother Xu responded and just went out.

The wind was blowing, and she slipped out of the back door with her cloak wrapped in her cloak and cautiously slipped out, unaware that a dark figure was already behind her.

She walked around two streets to a small courtyard that the old lady had privately purchased, and knocked on the door three times rhythmically, and someone inside opened the door.

Mother Xu hurriedly asked, "But what's wrong?" ”

The mother-in-law inside pouted and shook her head: "The mouth is very hard, and the slave and maid plan to dip some salt water on the whip and whip it again, so I don't believe her and don't say it." ”

Mother Xu thought for a while and nodded: "Then you hurry up, if you don't say it again, you will kill it." ”

The woman nodded: "You can rest assured that the slave and maid will do things." ”

After Xu's mother finished explaining, she turned around and left.

The way back was through a narrow and dark alley, but she was not afraid to walk as many times as she walked, but as she walked, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her, and when she turned around suddenly, her head was struck, and the whole person fell to the ground without strength.

She looked at the slightly thin black shadow in front of her, because she couldn't see her face clearly in the light on her back, she could only shrink back in pain: "Who are you?" ”

Lin Jinwen was wrapped in a wide black cloak, and looked at Xu's mother indifferently without making a sound, but only walked towards her slowly, forcing her to keep retreating until she exited the alley and reached the wide road. On the side of the alley was a private stable, the smell of horse manure was very strong, Xu's mother twisted her brows and stared at her: "Do you know who I am?" If you dare to touch me, the Lin family will never let you go! ”

"Really? I want to see if the two wastes of the Lin family don't let me go. The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were slightly hooked, and she put down the cloak and hat that covered her face, and Mother Xu saw her slightly pale face under the white snow, and raised her voice in surprise: "Why are you!" ”

Before she had finished her shrill questioning, the horses in the stable ran out as if they had suddenly gone mad, and their hooves trampled on her one after another.

In the lonely night, there was a sharp and frightened scream of Mother Xu, Lin Jinwen just looked at it expressionlessly, the door of the stable was opened when she came, as for going crazy, because the horses here are still undomesticated wild horses, and they will go crazy when they are frightened when they hear the sound, and the harder she shouts, the more crazy the horses will be.

As the old lady's right-hand man, Mother Xu has committed no less sins over the years than Mother Yu's, and if she dies like this, she will also die a well-deserved death.

She closed her eyes and didn't look at the blood, but the pungent smell of blood penetrated into her nose, making the painful memories of her previous life continue to surface in front of her eyes, making her feel like a devil burned by the fire of hatred at this time.

When I returned to the wooden door, I knocked on the door according to the rhythm of Mother Xu, and the mother-in-law inside wondered why Mother Xu came back again, so when I opened the door, I saw a person wearing a black cloak with his head down, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who are you?" ”

"The old lady asked me to come." Lin Jinwen said lightly.

The mother-in-law didn't think much about it, and hurriedly changed her attitude: "The old lady is still not at ease? When you reply, the girl won't say anything, I was just about to kill her......"

Before she could finish speaking, a woman's screams suddenly came out of it.

Lin Jin's heart tightened suddenly, raised her eyes and looked at her coldly, the mother-in-law had never seen Lin Jin's daughter-in-law, she only thought it was a small girl, and said in surprise: "How did the old lady make you ......?"

"Is there anyone else in there?" Lin Jin's hand in her sleeve clenched tightly, but her mother-in-law smiled indifferently: "Anyway, it's a person who is going to die, it's rare to have a drunk drunk who doesn't dislike it, I can still earn a little ......"

Lin Jinwen was so angry that she trembled, but she could only smile calmly: "Mom is really a good idea, I'm thirsty, can you let me in and have a cup of tea?" ”

The mother-in-law didn't think it was strange, and hurriedly welcomed her to the kitchen, and continued to please her along the way, hoping that she could go to the old lady to say good things and transfer her to the Lin Mansion.

Lin Jinwen went to the kitchen and saw that there was a well there, and when she walked to the well.

The mother-in-law felt strange and walked over and wondered, "What is this girl?" ”

"Look at the well......" Lin Jinwen pointed to the well, the mother-in-law hurriedly looked down, but suddenly there was a strong push behind her, and the mother-in-law did not stand firm and fell directly to the well, and began to shout for help.

Lin Jinwen knew that she would not die for a while, but she didn't care about it, so she lifted her skirt and walked quickly to Bai Lan's room.

The lewd man was full of alcohol, because the firewood room was not lit, and he only vaguely saw someone in the corner, and laughed lewdly: "Little beauty, come on, live soon......"

Bai Lan gritted her teeth: "You will not die well......"

"Don't you want to die?" The man smiled disdainfully: "If there were really ghosts in the world, I would have died a long time ago, but unfortunately not!" With that, he pressed Bai Lan and began to kiss until the door creaked open.

He was a little impatient: "Didn't you say that you would ...... ten cents a night" Turning his head, he saw the woman with a cool face and a beautiful face, and he was even more interested: "What, you also want to serve?" I'll give you more money......"

Lin Jinwen looked at Bai Lan, who was covered in blood, and the placket that was torn open, her eyes were slightly ruthless: "Someone is waiting for you outside, there is something urgent." ”

"What's the urgency?" The man staggered to his feet, but Lin Jinwen quickly withdrew from the room: "You will know when you come." "Then go to the ancient well.

Seeing this, the man wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and followed while undressing, but when he reached the dark well, there was no one to see.

There was a cry for help from the well, and when the cold wind blew, his wine woke up a little, and he became afraid: "Who is in there?" ”

"Who do you wish for?"

There was a cold questioning from behind him, and the man was so frightened that his legs were weak, and just about to turn around, he was hit on the head by a blunt object and pushed down directly.

Lin Jinwen didn't have much strength and couldn't push the manhole cover, but in such a cold weather, the two fell into the well, so don't think they can survive.

When she quickly returned to the firewood room, Bai Lan had already crawled out of the pain, and when she saw that she was fine, she lay weakly in the snow: "Miss...... You go back ......."

She called eagerly in a hoarse voice, Lin Jinwen was distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "Don't be afraid, they are the ones who should be afraid!" Lin Jinwen's eyes were slightly astringent, in her previous life, she thought that the deaths of the people around her one after another were accidents, but now that she thinks about it, she is afraid that she has long been designed by these jackals, tigers and leopards with vicious means.

Lin Jinwen looked at Bai Lan's bloody wounds all over her body, and her originally fair little face was now completely ruined, so she carefully helped her back to the firewood room, and said, "Survive this night, you just don't know what to do, someone will come to pick you up tomorrow." ”

Bai Lan was confused, but she only took her hand and shook her head: "Miss, the slave maid is a cheap life, go and go, don't offend the old lady for the slave maid." Madame hopes that you will marry in the future and live a peaceful life. ”

Lin Jin's nose was slightly sour: "I will marry in a beautiful way, but you all have to live well." Seeing Bai Lan's faint breathing, she easily helped the person back to the room, found a few old quilts to cover her, and looked outside that it was not early, and then walked out cautiously.

The fire in the ancestral hall burned all night, and when it was extinguished, there was nothing left inside.

The old lady looked at the black ash all over the ground exhausted, and asked weakly, "Where is the eldest master?" ”

"The eldest man went out to play with friends last night and never came back." The maid replied cautiously.

The old lady's face was slightly pale, she had always favored her eldest son, because although the eldest lady was only the daughter of a minor official, she gave birth to an eldest grandson, but now the eldest son is not angry in everything!

Thinking of this, she was even more annoyed: "That's it, don't worry about him for now, go and invite the second master." ”

"Second master, he ......" Yahuan glanced at her timidly and hurriedly lowered his head: "The second master has not been feeling well these days, and he is resting in the courtyard." ”

The old lady frowned: "Why has no one ever returned?" ”

"The second lady said that she was afraid of disturbing your pure ......"

"Alright, alright." The old lady frowned dissatisfiedly: "She has always acted and never mentioned it to me. After that, he instructed the housekeeper to rearrange the ancestral hall and invite the elders of the clan to come over again. As he spoke, he was about to turn around and go back to rest, but someone came to report early in the morning that he had found Xu's mother's body.

The person who found it, claiming to be a nearby vendor, trembled and knelt on the ground and replied, "She must have been kicked alive by the untamed wild horse." ”

The old lady's face immediately turned blue: "Who raised the wild horse?" ”

The peddler hurriedly said: "These horses are the ones left in the palace, and they are ready to be given to the princes, and the current horse drinker is the master Lin in the house!" ”

The old lady's face changed several times, but it was just an accident, but the vendor continued: "Early this morning, a girl named Bai Lan crawled out of the street covered in injuries, and the little one only knew that it was from the Lin Mansion. ”

"She's alive!" The old lady immediately questioned.

The peddler felt strange, but he still nodded, with a little flattery: "Although he was seriously injured, the little one specially invited the doctor to take a look, and he barely saved his life." ”

When the old lady saw him looking like he was waiting for a reward, she gritted her teeth with hatred and sent it out hastily, without a penny of reward.

Before the hawker was kicked out of the mansion, he was still muttering about wanting a reward, and the mother-in-law who came to drive people took a sip: "What's the matter, dare to ask for something in the Lin Mansion, get out!" With that, he turned his head and walked away.

The peddler muttered again, and when he saw the people leaving, he restrained the scolding expression on his face, and hurriedly went to the side alley to wait.

Lin Jinwen was waiting where she was early, and she smiled lightly when she saw someone coming: "It's done?" ”

"Don't worry, girl, everything is as you tell you, and they don't suspect it." He showed a mouthful of big white teeth and bent his eyes and smiled, but in his teenage years, he was thin and skinny, and his old clothes were empty and leaky.

Lin Jinwen met him in the corner last night, a little beggar, but his eyes were very clever, even if he tried.

She took out a piece of silver and gave it to him: "Go and buy some food." ”

"Miss, there will be such things in the future, just look for me, my sixth child is the most reliable, and his mouth is very tight." He looked at the young lady in front of him, so noble that people didn't dare to look at him directly, but she was the only one who didn't look at him with disdain, and she was generous.

Lin Jin's eyes flashed slightly, looking at the clever young man in front of her, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked: "Do things for me, do you know what the worst consequences are?" ”

The sixth child's eyes were red, and he smiled helplessly: "My eldest brother was killed because he did not do things properly for others." ”

Lin Jin's eyes were slightly deep, but he didn't know that he still had such an experience, but he wouldn't use people indiscriminately, last night was a helpless move, and there wasn't much to reveal, and the sixth didn't even know that she was the young lady of the Lin Mansion.

She paused: "You have been waiting in West Lane all year round?" ”

The sixth child scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "No one chased me there." ”

"I'll look for you again in a few days." Lin Jinwen said, put on her cloak and turned to leave.

The sixth looked at the solid silver in his hand, and then looked at the person who left, the smile on the corner of his mouth was even bigger, and he turned away.

In Luoxia Garden, Cai'er gave Bailan medicine with red eyes, and she was going to wipe her tears with a handkerchief after a while.

Bai Lan was still a little conscious, remembering that Miss went alone to save herself last night, and said reluctantly in a hoarse voice: "Don't cry, it's okay, let's be more careful in the future, we can't make trouble for Miss anymore." ”

"What are you still thinking about, look where there is still a good place on your body......" Cai'er couldn't cry, but she saw that there was a shadow at the door, and then she saw that Dr. Huang, who was resident in the house, was already standing at the door.

Cai'er was startled, and quickly covered Bai Lan with a quilt, and scolded angrily: "What are you doing, who allowed you to come in!" "Dr. Huang is an old lady's person, and he can't be trusted at all.

Dr. Huang touched the beard on his thin chin, thinking about the bare back that he had just glanced at, there was a bit of pity in his eyes, but he said with a smile on his face: "I'm here to give her an injection, the injury is like this, if you don't treat it quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this half a day." ”

Cai'er was shocked when she heard this, and she didn't want to believe him, but now she couldn't invite a doctor for a while, so she could only hesitate: "Can you save her?" If you can't save it, our young lady won't spare you. ”

Doctor Huang is an old lady's person, and he is not afraid of Lin Jinwen at all, and still smiled weirdly: "Don't worry." With that, he quickly put down the medicine box and took out the silver needle.

Cai'er always felt panicked when she looked at the needle that was glowing with cold light, but Bai Lan's injuries were too serious......

Just as she hesitated, Doctor Huang's silver needle had already stabbed at the acupuncture point on Bai Lan's back, and Bai Lan's eyes widened instantly, and a hoarse cry of pain came out of her throat.

Cai'er felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Don't give her needles, stop it!" ”

Doctor Huang just sneered, with a completely different attitude from Fang Cai: "If she pulls it out at this time, her life will be gone." ”

"That's not what you said!" Cai'er panicked and began to drink.

Doctor Huang sneered and glanced at her, stabbing the silver needle in his hand harder, and Bai Lan's face turned from white to blue, as if she would die in the next second.

Doctor Huang slowly watched the silver needle get deeper and deeper, and breathed a sigh of relief, which was considered to have completed the old lady's explanation, but the silver needle had not been completely pierced, and suddenly his neck was cold, and a warm heat flowed out of his neck.

He was stunned and touched it, and it was bright red.

"Save her." The cold voice has long since faded away from the girl's immaturity, like an order not to be disobeyed.

Doctor Huang's hairs stood up, his eyes tried to glance at the person on his side, and when he saw that it was Lin Jinwen who was dressed in plain clothes, his mouth couldn't close in surprise: "Seven...... Miss Seven......"

"If she dies, I will pay for your life." The hairpin in Lin Jin's hand is a little deeper, these subordinates seem to be really not afraid of her at all, starting today, this routine is going to change!

Doctor Huang only felt that his neck was cold, and his whole body was wooden: "It was the old lady who ordered ......."

"Commanded what? Kill my maid, or kill me? Lin Jinwen said indifferently.

"No, the old lady didn't want to kill Miss Seven, she just ......"

"Just what?" Lin Jinwen continued to ask.

Doctor Huang looked at the person who only had one breath left, gritted his teeth, and pulled out the silver needle, and Bai Lan seemed to have finally uncovered the thing blocking the trachea, took a big breath, and fainted.

"Miss Seven, you see it's okay now......" Doctor Huang was asking for mercy, so he listened to Lin Jin's cool voice: "Cai'er, go and report to your grandmother, the quack doctor misled people, it's better to get out of the house as soon as possible." ”

Cai'er wiped her tears, pulled her legs and ran out, and Dr. Huang almost knelt on the ground with weak legs. He knew a lot of the old lady's secrets, how could the old lady let him get out of the Lin Mansion alive.

"Miss Seven, the little one is to listen to the old lady's orders......"

"If I were you, I'd leave now." Lin Jinwen took out the hairpin and looked at him coldly.

Doctor Huang looked at her as if he didn't understand, this seventh lady used to be obscure and timid and afraid of things, but now she seems to have changed into a different person. And those murderous eyes don't look like teenage girls at all, but like generals who have been killed and killed decisively for a long time.

"Not leaving?" Lin Jinwen asked in a cold voice.

Doctor Huang dared to stay longer, and hurriedly stumbled out.

Lin Jinwen looked at his hasty back, lowered her eyes and looked at the blood-stained hairpin, calmly wrapped the handkerchief, covered the quilt for Bailan and went to the yard.

The maids and ladies in the yard still don't take this master seriously, they gather in their own rooms to be lazy, and they won't take the initiative to add when the charcoal fire in the house is gone, and when they saw Lin Jinwen coming, they glanced at each other and stood up lazily.

"Why did the young lady come to this filthy place of slaves?" A slightly thin mother-in-law laughed.

The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were slightly hooked, she sat down in the seat on the side, and looked at the tea they drank, which was allocated to her West Lake Longjing according to the portion.

"Who is the leading mother-in-law?" She asked lightly.

The slightly thin mother-in-law paused slightly, and stepped forward half a step to salute: "It's a slave." ”

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen nodded: "Come on, drag it out, thirty palms, plus fifty boards." ”

When her words fell, everyone's eyes widened, but they looked at each other, and no one stepped forward to make a move.

Seeing this, the thin woman's attitude was also a little arrogant, and she only said: "Miss, what is the slave and maid not doing well, you just say it, the slave and maid will change in the future, don't be angry with your body." ”

Seeing their attitude, the corners of Lin Jin's mouth rose higher and higher: "I remember that your deed of sale is in the hands of the eldest aunt, right?" ”

The thin woman stared at her, she didn't believe that she could really deal with them, after all, they were sent by the eldest lady, although they were lazy, but they were not guilty of death......

Seeing that they didn't squeak or get angry, Lin Jinwen only got up: "I'll go out, if there are other people in this courtyard without my permission, all of you will be punished like her, but since you are all unwilling to do it now, it doesn't matter, I will find someone to do it." With that, he walked out calmly.

As soon as she left, the pot exploded.

"Didn't Miss Seven take the wrong medicine? I used to be silent when I saw us. ”

"It's just that I haven't been in trouble lately, why did I suddenly go crazy......"

"Could it be true that I was possessed by a demon as said outside?"

A few people discussed it with each other, but the thin woman felt that something was wrong, thought about it, and quietly went to the second room.

After the old lady instructed Dr. Huang to extinguish the mouth, the queen mother came to the mouth and ordered her to go up the mountain to clean up.

Lin Zisu was waiting on the side, and when she saw that her face was pale, she hurriedly said, "Grandmother, are you okay?" ”

"Nothing? How can it be okay? The old lady said angrily, not noticing the dissatisfaction in Lin Zisu's eyes, but she couldn't wait to smash all the things on the table: "The ancestral hall is on fire, and the queen mother ordered me to go to the mountain to cultivate, isn't this telling outsiders that I am misbehaving, even though the cultivation is only a month, but in the future, those people in the capital will chew their tongues and say that I am just a concubine!" ”

This is a thorn in the old lady's heart, she never thought that the ancestral hall would be burned to provoke the queen, but she didn't know that the queen just took the opportunity to give King Ning a favor, these dirty people outside the Lin Mansion just don't want to know and know, not to mention a pair of fiery eyes of the queen.

"Could it be that Jin Wu went to the queen mother to complain?" Lin Zisu guessed.

The old lady gritted her teeth with hatred: "She wishes I died all day long!" ”

"It's a pity that Zisu can't see the queen, otherwise she wouldn't have let such a thing happen. The seventh sister is too ignorant. Lin Zisu said regretfully.

The old lady glanced at her and thought about it. In the past, she supported Lin Xiteng's sister and brother hard, but now it seems that she is not as good as the smart and beautiful granddaughter of the second room.

She took Lin Zisu's hand and patted it gently: "I know that you are filial." Don't worry, when the time comes, your grandmother will definitely find a marriage for you, the best marriage! ”

Lin Zisu lowered her eyes and smiled, but she concealed all the ruthlessness in her eyes, and said softly: "Now even the queen mother is helping Prince Ning take care of Jin's sister-in-law, according to Zisu, King Ning should be the best candidate." ”

"Him?" The old lady remembered that King Ning was angry for Lin Jinwen that night, and she always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, she was indeed more reliable than the ruthless Concubine De and the third prince. Thinking of this, he nodded, and slowly calculated in his heart. Although Lin Jin's father Lin Luzhi is not biological, he has always been obedient to her, and he is willing to wait for him to come back, so he can turn this marriage into Lin Zisu's.

Determined, the old lady felt much more comfortable, and Lin Zisu also secretly raised the corners of her lips.

When Cai'er came, the old lady was just about to pack up her things and prepare to go up the mountain, but after hearing about Dr. Huang, she asked someone to deal with it.

The news that the old lady was going up the mountain quickly spread in the house, and the second lady and the second master, who had not shown up for a long time, finally appeared, but the eldest lady and Lin Xiteng were never seen.

Lin Xiyu also said to the old lady about the incident the night before, and when she came, she didn't forget to say in a weird manner: "Grandmother went to the mountain, but remember to eat fast and chant Buddha, so as to bless the safety of the house, don't let your father and second uncle become concubines with you." ”

As soon as she said this, she sat in front of her and looked at the middle-aged man who was still a little bookish before she smiled gently: "Xiyu, what are you talking about." ”

"If my grandmother is demoted to a concubine again......" Lin Xiyu wanted to argue, but was interrupted angrily by the old lady: "After I leave the house, the affairs of the first room will be taken care of by the second room, and the big house will no longer have to be taken care of." ”

When Lin Xiyu heard this, she wanted to say something, but she was stopped by the mother-in-law beside her.

Lin Jinwen sat down, looking at the woman in Tsing Yi sitting next to the second master, her hair was meticulously pulled up, her hairpin was swaying with a golden hairpin, her white wrist was a high-grade jade bracelet, and her eyebrows were seven or eight points like Lin Zisu, all of them were beauties. Sitting there, like the second master who looks gentle, he is kind and dignified, but it is under this skin that hides the most vicious wolf.

Ye smiled gently, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were all good-looking: "Mother rest assured, all the daughters-in-law in the house will take care of it." ”

The old lady glanced at her meaningfully and said, "You have to give birth to a few grandchildren for my Lin family." ”

When ordinary people heard this, their faces turned red, but Ye Shi was very calm: "Don't worry, my daughter-in-law has already taken a good look at a few maids who can give birth, and when she turned around, she opened her face and carried her into the house." ”

"You know what you know." When the old lady said this, she was slightly angry, but she did not fully show it. She turned her gaze to Lin Jinwen, who was silent, and her hand holding the handkerchief tightened, and said, "A few days ago, you were punished for staying in the courtyard and not allowed to go out, and you didn't listen to me left and right, just wait for your father to come back and teach you." ”

Lin Jinwen saw that she was still playing with her father's idea, and smiled lightly: "Knowing that my grandmother is kind-hearted, she has never punished those subordinates in Luoxia Yuan who are lazy and slippery, and call them big bullies, so how can she really punish Jinwu?" ”

The old lady almost choked on the tea, looked up at her bright smiling face, and frowned slightly.

When Ye Shi heard this, he looked at her kindly: "Is there really such a person in Luoxia Garden?" Your grandmother has a lot of ordinary affairs, I'm afraid I didn't notice it, and when I turn around, my second aunt will help you deal with it. ”

"Really? Thank you to the second aunt. Lin Jinwen smiled sweetly at her, but the depths of her eyes were cold.

Even though the old lady was displeased, she couldn't tolerate anything she said, and she didn't dare to delay at all.

Ye is gentle, but always neat, and when Lin Jinwen returned to Luoxia Garden, she had already led more than a dozen young girls to the courtyard to wait, as for the original people, all of them had already knelt on the ground with their palms and mouths.

Ye Shi wore a cloak embroidered with green fur and gold branches, took her hand and smiled lightly: "I have selected more than a dozen servants for you, if you are not satisfied, then tell the second aunt, you are the serious master of the Lin Mansion, don't wronged yourself." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at her, her eyes curved into crescent moons. She remembered that she was bullied by Lin Xiyu once in her previous life, and she told herself the same thing, they approached like this with a mask, and finally took everything from her.

"Second aunt, rest assured, it's Jin's thing, Jin's will never let people take it, no one!" Lin Jinwen smiled lightly.

Ye Shi looked at the delicate and fair little face and the eyes full of aura, and he was surprised in his heart, but more of a calculation. In addition to so many moths in the Lin Mansion recently, if it weren't for her too deep scheming, there must be a master behind her to help, no matter which one it is, she won't allow it.

"Have you prepared clothes and jewelry for tomorrow's jade gathering?" She asked with concern.

Lin Jinwen nodded: "Second aunt don't worry." ”

Seeing this, Ye Shi didn't ask any more, and gracefully sent her back to the room, and he turned around and left, but just walked out of Luoxia Garden, and the smile on his face faded.

"It's not impossible that her appearance will one day surpass Shiso......" she said.

The henchman next to him smiled lightly: "Madame has a plan, why rush for one or two days?" ”

Ye sighed softly: "These idiots of the Lin family are useless, and Concubine De is also offended, so I have to reconsider." Zisu, the girl, fell in love with King Ning, so Lin Jinwen must not marry him. ”

"Madame means ......"

"Have all the carriages for Ming'er seen off have been arranged?" She asked.

The maid bowed: "It's arranged, do it when you come back, no matter whether it succeeds or not, Miss Seven's reputation can't be saved." ”

"Hmm." The Ye family stopped and looked at the huge Lin Mansion, and the greed in his eyes was even worse, but he only smiled lightly and walked away.

Lin Jinwen looked at the people kneeling in the courtyard begging for mercy, found the thin woman with her eyes floating around, and leaned over to look at her: "Does Mom think it's good to be alive?" Zhang's mother poured me yellow spring water and was beaten to death by the eldest lady. Rabbit dead dog cooking, I don't know how many people have figured out this truth. ”

Listening to her words, the thin woman always felt a chill down her spine: "Seventh Miss, the slave doesn't know anything." ”

"Really?" Lin Jinwen was not in a hurry: "Then my mother is not in a hurry to leave the house, stay in Luoxia Garden and serve Bailan." If she made the slightest mistake, you should know how Zhang's mother died, the day she was beaten to death, I remember you were there. ”

The thin woman's face turned pale, but Lin Jinwen turned around and went back to the room.

At this time, the snow had stopped, and the cold wind swept up the dead leaves on the ground, like a dying and struggling mother Zhang. She looked at Lin Jinwen's thin back, and the chill hit her whole body.

Lin Jinwen returned to the room, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and an edict came from outside, saying that the queen mother had given some soothing medicine and incense.

Cai'er took the things, and politely sent away the person who came to deliver the message, and then happily held the things to show her: "Miss, the queen mother really remembers you, and she is afraid that you will be frightened, so she sent these things." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at these things and shook her head slightly. I can't say it, I always feel that something is wrong, the queen mother in the previous life did not value King Ning so much, and she has always been exquisite and not offendable, this time she suddenly reprimanded the old lady of the Lin family, which is unusual. Moreover, she seemed to know all about Lin Fu's actions, otherwise why could this edict come in such a timely manner?

She looked at the excited Cai'er, and didn't tell her her conjecture, but said, "Tomorrow's banquet, you go and prepare first." ”

Cai'er didn't think much about it, and happily wanted to prepare, but saw Lin Jin's solemn face and said: "After nightfall, go to the West Lane and find a beggar named Lao Liu." ”

"Sixth?" Cai'er was puzzled, but Lin Jinwen could only gamble, even though she knew what would happen in the future, but she was outnumbered, she needed to have her own talent.

"Hmm." She nodded, and said, "Send ten taels of silver to Jiang Qingshu again, and tell him to be a good student and participate in next year's Spring Festival." ”

Seeing that she was so serious, Cai'er hurriedly nodded.

Lin Jinwen leaned against the window and looked at the snow outside the house, and suddenly remembered Zhao Huaiyan, did he really have a past life in the past life he said that day? If he is really like himself and is born again, then what does he want to do in this life? Seize the throne?

Zhao Huaiyan only felt a little itchy nose at this time, looking at the beauty picture that had been drawn, his eyes were bright.

Gao Yu walked in from outside, dusted off the falling snow on his shoulders, and then said with a smile: "Lord Wang, General Lin has arrived in Yaocheng, and he will be able to reach the capital in less than five days." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Huaiyan bowed his head, and Gao Yucai continued: "The subordinates you ordered are ready, but can you really go to that place?" ”

"I have promised my father." As a condition of the decree of marriage, he had no reason to refuse.

Gao Yu gritted his teeth slightly, but he was still worried that he couldn't stop: "Miss Lin is serious...... Is it really worth it for you to go to this Longtan Tiger's Den? ”

"Miss it once, don't want to miss it a second time." Zhao Huaiyan put away the beauty painting and put it on his sleeve: "Send Murong Chen to save people and set off." ”

Gao Yu looked at him with a resolute look, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the past, the prince of their family was dedicated to cultivating immortals, and no one could bother him, and he could handle anything with ease, but since he saw Miss Lin, he has become a lonely mortal.

Looking at the people who had changed into black robes and were about to leave, Gao Yu hesitated: "Do you want to write to tell Miss Lin?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him coldly, and then turned his head to leave.

Gao Yu spread his hands helplessly, but couldn't help muttering: "You were born and died here, but she didn't know anything, doesn't the prince feel a loss?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan looked at the plum blossoms blooming just right in the corner of the courtyard, the blood-red color with the brown branches, the beauty was prohibitive. Is it a loss? has never lost, and no one knows how good she is.

Lin Jinwen dreamed at night, and dreamed of Zhao Huaiyan for the first time. It was when she married Zhao Kan in her previous life, he was also there, dressed in white and shengxue, sitting in the corner of the house, she was too nervous, she didn't stand firm when she worshipped, and fell into his arms. At that time, his eyes were a little indifferent and disgusted, he had never liked women approaching.

Lin Jinwen woke up from the dream, panting slightly, remembering his eyes in the dream, she was a little aggrieved and unwilling, until Cai'er came in to call her, she suddenly came back to her senses.

"Miss, the eldest lady and the fourth lady are all going today, the slave maid has inquired about this banquet, it is organized by the Nine Emperor Princes, and the sons and ladies of all sizes in the capital will go, but it is lively." Cai'er grinned.

The Nine Emperors? Lin Jin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, the biological mother of the Nine Emperor Sons in her previous life was an unfavored concubine, and he also died young because of an epidemic, is he still alive now?

"Has there been an outbreak in the capital before?" Lin Jinwen suddenly asked.

Cai'er paused: "There were more than ten years ago. ”

Lin Jinwen blinked, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

At this time, Lin Xiyu was already impatient, Lin Zisu looked at her with flowers and branches, and then looked in the direction of Luoxia Garden, her eyes drooped slightly, hiding the ruthlessness in her eyes.
