Chapter 42: Cornered
The reversal of things in the Lin Mansion was so fast, which was something that everyone didn't expect, and the most unexpected was Dingnanhou.
He sat in the warm pavilion and looked at the lady who was bent on begging him to help the Lin family, listening to the words of the little guy below, his brows furrowed: "Is your Master Huijue really so godly?" ”
Mrs. Dingnan Hou also believed in this Huijue more and more, holding her stomach and nodding with relief: "The master said that he had expected this catastrophe a long time ago, but Master Hou, he also said that the fourth lady of the Lin Mansion is compatible with the child in the belly of the concubine, so you must think of a way." ”
Hearing this, Dingnanhou's face was a little solemn.
How can he not cherish this child, especially recently Lin Wei's inability to have children has made a lot of noise, whether it is true that he can't give birth or fake can't give birth, it is true that he has no children under his knees for so many years, and his current situation is similar to him, if the child in his wife's womb can't be born, I don't know what to say outside.
He thought for a moment and stood up: "You have a good rest in the mansion, and I will go to the Lin mansion." ”
Mrs. Hou was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to salute, but Dingnan Hou held her up with one hand: "Madam is pregnant, it's really hard, so you don't have to worry about this." You don't have to worry about the big and small affairs in the house, the people below are not sensible, when the sales are sold, don't be wronged. ”
Mrs. Hou's heart was hot when she heard this, and she was flattered.
As soon as he left, he was busy letting people go to find Huijue.
The maid next to her looked at her happily: "Madame is not more worried now, as long as she gives birth to Xiao Shizi, no matter how many tricks those women in the back house are, they can't go beyond you, you see how much the Hou Ye cherishes you now." ”
Mrs. Hou's face turned red when she said this, she lowered her eyes and looked at her belly that was not yet pregnant, remembering the thoughts that Lin Jinwen had spent for herself before, and only said softly: "Jinwen was also frightened this time, I just had a bunch of Ning Shen incense from the Queen Mother, you sent it." ”
The maid understood that Mrs. Hou was trying to support Miss Lin Qi, so she hurriedly responded.
Lin Fuzhong.
Lin Luzhi's face was calm and did not speak, thinking that he also knew the whole story, and was very disappointed in Lin Wei, Zhao Huaiyan took the two adults to discuss with him in the study.
Lin Jinwen and Lin Jincheng were waiting outside the study, and as evening approached, the wind became stronger, blowing the dead branches and swaying, like a beast with teeth and claws.
"This time, thanks to you." Lin Jincheng looked at Lin Jincheng, his eyes were a little complicated.
Lin Jinwen was a little apprehensive in his heart, could it be that he didn't like his unforgiving temperament now?
"Big brother......" She opened her mouth a little weakly, but Lin Jincheng raised his hand and rubbed her forehead: "How much hardship have you suffered in the past to have today's determination and perseverance, big brother and father are ashamed of you and your mother." We fought abroad to defend our home and country, but we never found that we couldn't protect even the people closest to us. ”
He was deeply remorseful, but also a little negative. In the past, he was born and died for the court and the people, and he never felt wronged and hard, but now that such a thing has happened, if it were not for the involvement of Lord Zhang and Lord Wang, the emperor was afraid that he would really deal with them. He and his father only thought that the emperor would not take it to heart if he was generous, and now it seems that no emperor can endure it.
Lin Jinwen didn't expect him to think so much, and shook her head: "Jinwen doesn't feel wronged. ”
Lin Jincheng knew that she didn't want to worry about herself, so he gave her a smile.
Wang Ruyan watched their brother and sister finish speaking from a distance before they dared to come, because they were in a hurry, and as soon as the snow slipped under their feet, the whole person rushed forward uncontrollably.
Lin Jincheng reflexively moved forward quickly and caught the person, but the soft fragrance was full of arms, and he rarely touched a woman, so he was like an electric shock, and hurriedly let go after putting the person down.
Wang Ruyan was frightened, her round face was flushed, she looked at Lin Jincheng's tall and straight figure, and she didn't dare to look at his face, so she hurriedly lowered her eyes and bowed: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me." ”
"You're welcome." Lin Jincheng also had a hot face and didn't dare to look at her.
Lin Jinwen looked at the shy appearance of the two, raised her eyebrows slightly, stepped forward and pulled Wang Ruyan and smiled: "Why are you running in such a hurry." ”
"It was someone who came from Fang just now and said that Dingnanhou is here, I thought that he might be here to help, so I wanted to tell you earlier." When Wang Ruyan talked about business, she was no longer shy, she only raised her eyes and smiled: "It's me who is reckless, my mother always said that I want things to be fast, but my actions are slow, and I am only suitable for staying in the boudoir to be an obedient and obedient lady." ”
What she said was interesting, Lin Jincheng's lips smiled, and before she could speak, she really saw that Dingnanhou had come.
The Marquis of Dingnan holds military merits, and he is liked by the emperor, and he is even more sleek and well-behaved, if he is willing to help, the Lin family's mess can be dealt with with with less interference.
He stepped forward to salute, and Dingnanhou saw Lin Jin's more and more beautiful face from a distance, raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything, and went to the study with him.
Lin Jinwen didn't notice the way he looked at her, she only knew that she didn't have to worry about the next thing, and she was relieved.
Looking at Wang Ruyan's shy appearance, she smiled in a low voice: "What does Miss Wang think of her brother?" ”
"Huh?" Wang Ruyan's face turned even redder, as if she knew what she was asking, and shyly clutched the handkerchief in her hand. Before she could speak, Ye Ling, who hadn't seen her for a few days, suddenly ran over, full of anxiety.
"Miss Seven, you can go back to Xia Yuan and take a look." She was a little anxious, her delicate brows wrinkled together, and fine sweat broke out on her forehead because of the trot.
Lin Jinwen felt strange: "What happened?" ”
"It's Miss Cai'er...... I had my nails plucked before, and now my life is on the line. Ye Ling looked like she wanted to say something, after all, the ruthless person was Lin Zisu, her real cousin.
Wang Ruyan had never heard of such a cruel thing, but what Mrs. Wang taught was quite calm: "Miss Seven, go back and have a look, I know the old doctor in the city, so I will order someone to invite you." ”
Lin Jinwen glanced at her gratefully, lifted her skirt and quickly ran towards Luoxia Garden.
Ye Ling took a step behind and looked at Wang Ruyan, wearing a light cyan long skirt, covered with a plain brocade cloak, although the clothing is not extremely luxurious, but it is also superior, the hair ornaments on her head are very few but elegant, her face is white and tender and lovely without powder, and the piece of jade hanging around her waist is even more valuable.
She didn't want to talk at this time, so she secretly wrote it down and followed.
When she left, the maid next to Wang Ruyan reminded in a low voice: "Miss, the slave maid has been looking at you all the time, and her eyes are a little strange." ”
Wang Ruyan didn't notice this, but only lightly tapped her forehead: "My mother has explained, don't talk about right and wrong behind your back." Hurry up and take my sign to the doctor, don't delay. ”
Seeing her like this, Poria couldn't say any more, so she hurriedly went.
In Luoxia Garden, Bai Lan was angry, anxious and distressed, but there was nothing she could do.
Mother Yang was quite calm, knowing that Lin Jinwen had always hurt the maid, so she only stopped the mother-in-law who came to give it away and said, "Who is ruthless?" Not only did you pull out your nails, but you also got a wound on your body? ”
The mother-in-law also knew that the current third room could not be provoked, so she hurriedly begged for mercy: "Mother Yang, the slave and maid don't know either, these are all ordered by the fourth miss, why don't you go to the fourth miss?" ”
Mother Yang's face sank, looking for Miss Four, she wouldn't say anything. Now when you send people back, most of them think that they can be forgiven.
"Do you say it or not!" Mother Yang scolded, and the sensible maids below immediately surrounded the person.
The mother-in-law was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she said: "It's the Poria cocos under the fourth lady and the hands of several mothers-in-law, and the nails are the ones they pulled out alive and soaked in salt water......"
"Still soaked in salt water?" Mother Yang's heart trembled when she heard this, her ten fingers connected to her heart, how much it hurt.
The mother-in-law shrunk her neck and turned her head to sneak away, but when she turned around, she saw Lin Jinwen trotting back.
Mother Yang thought that Lin Jinwen was still dealing with things in front, but when she saw Ye Ling following her, her eyebrows twisted, and she hurriedly greeted her: "Miss." ”
"How's Cai'er?" Lin Jinwen was just about to go to Cai'er's room, but was stopped by Mother Yang: "Miss, wait for the doctor to come and see, you are also tired, go to the house to rest first......"
Lin Jinwen saw that she was bent on stopping herself, and immediately said coldly; "Get out of the way."
Seeing this, Mother Yang didn't dare to stop anymore and retreated to the side. After Lin Jinwen entered, she found that Fang Cai's mother-in-law was leaving, so she only whispered to the people below: "Tie her up, and then tie up the group of people named Poria for me." "Now that the three-room master is still a little powerful, who dares to stop it.
The subordinates went silently, and Mother Yang heard Bai Lan's uncontrollable cry in the room, and her heart was mixed, but she also felt that it was more dangerous to follow this master, at least better than those masters who didn't treat slaves as people.
Bai Lan knelt on the edge of the bed, she had already cried so much that she had no strength, and Lin Jin's voice was dumb and couldn't make a sound.
Lin Jinwen looked at the person lying on the bed, the bloody clothes stuck to her body couldn't be taken off, the scars all over her body, as well as the hands and nails had already been coagulated by black blood, and her small face had long since lost its pungent and lively past, leaving only a pale.
"Miss, you save Cai'er......"
Bai Lan cried and begged in a hoarse voice.
Ye Ling stood behind, smelling the smell of blood all over the room and couldn't stand it, and when he looked at the person on the bed, he was even more weak. can look at Lin Jinwen, there is nothing else except the murderous aura all over her body, but this time my aunt is unreliable, only relying on Lin Jinwen, there may be some hope.
When Wang Ruyan arrived, she brought a doctor, and the old doctor shook her head when she saw Cai'er.
Wang Ruyan couldn't bear to look at it, and stepped forward to pull Lin Jinwen: "Miss Seven, leave it to the doctor here." ”
Lin Jinwen closed her eyes deeply and said, "Miss Wang, you go back to the house first, I will take care of the matter here." ”
Wang Ruyan knew that she was afraid that she would have to deal with those subordinates, so she did not force her to stay: "If there is something, let someone find me at any time." ”
Lin Jinwen nodded gratefully, and when she left, she looked at Mother Yang who was waiting by the door: "Have you found those people?" ”
"Found it, now tied up in the yard." Mother Yang said respectfully.
Lin Jin's head bowed, looked at the unconscious Cai'er again, and turned her head directly and went out.
The people in the courtyard were trembling with fright, but they were tied up and gagged, and they couldn't say a word, until Lin Jinwen came over, and they began to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Lin Jinwen saw Poria who was hiding at the end and wanted to sneak out quietly, and said coldly: "How she treats Cai'er, you treat her how you treat her." ”
Poria thought of the bloody punishment and wanted to flee in horror, but she had already been stopped by Mother Yang's people.
Mother Yang personally stepped forward to let go of the mothers-in-law and scolded, "Did you all hear Miss Seven's orders clearly?" But if there is anything wrong, the punishment will fall on you. ”
Where did those mothers-in-law dare to be lazy, they hurriedly pressed Poria and began to kick and beat, and after beating people to the point that they had no strength to resist, they looked at Lin Jinwen hesitantly: "Miss Seven, do you want to do it here?" "Pulling out people's nails alive is really bloody and horrible.
Lin Jin's eyes were cold: "Fourth sister is afraid that she also wants to know, why not go to her yard." ”
When the people saw her indifferent and ruthless appearance, they only felt a chill rise up their backs.
Lin Zisu is now thinking about what to do, Lin Luzhi will definitely not do anything to her, but Lin Jinsu is different, she will definitely not let go of herself.
Thinking about this, she looked at her mother, who was still unconscious on the bed, and had a plan: "Come on, go and tell the third uncle immediately, saying that I am going to kill myself." ”
"But Miss, the third master is busy at this time......"
"If you want to go, you will go, just say that I want my father to pay my daughter's debts, and ask him to spare my father's life." She knows Lin Luzhi best, treats her family and tolerates it, if she makes such a fuss, he must think that he has remorse and let himself go, and when Lin Jinzhi wants to do it, he will block three points.
When the maid heard this, she had to hurry up.
Lin Zisu walked to the outer hall, looked at the rope that had been cut on the beam, looked for someone to tie it again, and then stepped on the round stool and stood up, just waiting for Lin Lu to come, she hung it up and pretended to commit suicide.
But I didn't expect Lin Luzhi to come, but Lin Jinzhi came first.
The people in the second room didn't dare to stop her, so she broke into the house.
Lin Zisu wanted to be angry, but when she saw Poria who was beaten and threw in, her eyes shrank a little: "Lin Jinwen, what do you want to do?" This incident has nothing to do with me, I just misbelieved the rumors, and I didn't kill you......"
Lin Jinwen saw that she was in a mess, and looked at her coldly: "Fourth sister, what are you panicking, I'm here to show you a show." ”
"Play? What play? Lin Zisu was puzzled, as soon as she got off the round stool, she heard a cold drink from Mother Yang; Still stunned what to do, do it! ”
As soon as the mothers-in-law had weak legs, they were busy pressing Poria and began to pull out her nails.
Poria's screams spread throughout the courtyard, Lin Zisu watched the red nails pull out of the flesh raw, and was so frightened that she turned her head and was about to run, but Mother Yang took the first step to stop her, forcing her to look.
She looked at Lin Jinwen with a dumb voice and red eyes and scolded: "Lin Jinwen, you are the devil, you are the devil from hell!" ”
Lin Jinwen stood lightly, unmoved, until Poria fainted in pain, and she made people stop.
"This group of people will be sold to the lowest Goolan Courtyard together, and they will not be allowed to see the light of day!" She glanced at Lin Zisu, who was pale, and said coldly. Everyone only thinks that her people are easy to bully, and today I want them to see clearly, what is a tooth for a tooth, a hundred times repaid!
The mothers-in-law were old, and when they heard this, they collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up, and the people around Lin Zisu were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
The person was quickly dragged away, and Lin Zisu broke away from the hands of others and glared at Lin Jinwen fiercely: "You have the ability, kill me today, otherwise one day I will want you to die a good death!" ”
"The same words, I'll give it back to you." Lin Jinwen stared at her lightly: "If you dare to beat my people in the future, I will cramp and peel your skin, and you will never be able to live forever!" ”
The timid maid was so frightened that she knelt down as soon as her legs became weak, and Lin Zisu looked at the person in front of her with fierce eyes, where did she have an ordinary half-point gentle appearance.
"I know, you're demon-possessed, you're the real evil star! Lin Jinwen, you are a demon! Lin Zisu shouted.
Lin Jinwen lightly hooked the corners of her mouth, she was really right, if the resentment in the previous life was too deep, how could she be reborn in this life!
As he was talking, the people guarding the gate of the courtyard hurriedly came to report: "Miss, the lord and the son are here." ”
Lin Jinwen frowned, stared coldly at the frightened and paralyzed maid on the side, and the maid hurriedly told Lin Zisu's plan.
"Cheap thing...... Before Lin Zisu finished scolding, Lin Jinwen slapped her in the face: "I warned you, don't use my father and brother again!" ”
"Do they know who you really are?" Lin Zisu suddenly figured out something, turned his head and looked at her with a sneer.
Lin Jinwen walked forward quickly, slapped her backhand hard, and saw that she was beaten, so she grabbed her neck: "Do you think you are the only one in this world with a disguise?" She looked at the hanging rope and the round stool on the ground, and kicked it over: "If you want to die, I will fulfill you." After saying that, he threw the person away.
She turned her head to look at Mother Yang, Mother Yang would be mindful, and when the door was kicked open by Lin Luzhi in a hurry, Mother Yang hurriedly asked people to invite the old patriarch.
Lin Lu opened the door and saw that Lin Jinwen was also there, and was very surprised: "Jinwen, this is ......"
"Daddy...... Fourth sister, she was going to beat Cai'er to death, her nails were all pulled out, and her injuries were ......" Lin Jinwen lowered her eyes slightly, her palms clenched.
Lin Jincheng saw a pool of blood on the ground, and was speechless in surprise, Mother Yang stepped forward and said: "Miss Cai'er was taken away by the officers and soldiers at the time when the fourth lady personally took it away, and now she is carried back to the room, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead." ”
Lin Jincheng was worried when he heard this, he was a person who had fought dozens of times, and he had never used such a cruel method, Lin Zisu, a young lady who looked delicate and beautiful, could be so ruthless.
Lin Zisu secretly glared at Mother Yang, but her eyes were red, and she stepped forward and knelt down to pull Lin Luzhi's clothes and began to cry in a low voice: "Third uncle, Zisu didn't know about this matter at all, it was all done privately by the subordinates, and those people had already been sold to Goolan Courtyard by Jinwen." Third uncle, Zisu really doesn't know. ”
Lin Luzhi was even more surprised, looking at his simple daughter, he had mixed feelings in his heart: "Jinwen, this is ......"
"It's the slave's idea, it's not the lady's business." Mother Yang looked at Lin Jinwen's face and hurriedly stepped forward.
Lin Jincheng also took the opportunity to say: "Daddy, it's Jinwen who did this, how can you blame her?" We're back home, and there's still such things going on, how did she live her life when we're away? He only felt sorry for Lin Jinwen, even if she was so ruthless, she must have been forced to have no other way, but Lin Zisu is different, she has been pampered since she was a child, and her father is even better to the people in the second room than to herself, but she can still be so ungrateful and cruel.
Lin Luzhi didn't speak, feeling guilty in his heart, and he couldn't bear his daughter to participate in such a dark thing.
Seeing this, Lin Zisu only said sadly: "That's it, the third uncle keeps saying that he loves Shisu, I'm afraid it's just a lie to coax the world, now my mother doesn't know the life and death, and my father is confused again, so Zisu will use his own life to counteract, and only ask the third uncle to let go of the unaware mother for the sake of his relatives for so many years." With that, he turned his head and slammed into the pillar behind Lin Luzhi.
What she said was sincere and filial, Lin Luzhi saw that she was going to commit suicide, and as soon as her hand was fast, she immediately stopped the person.
Lin Zisu insisted on seeking death, looking like she couldn't cry, sad and helpless: "If my father is also dead, I am with my mother, orphans and widows, what is the meaning of living in the world, and the left and right Jinwu can't tolerate me, I'm dead, third uncle, you don't have to stop me." She burst into tears, crying so hard that she was bent on hitting the pillar, and Lin Luzhi's already wavering heart had already softened.
"Don't worry, your father's business ......"
"Daddy!" Lin Jinwen hurriedly tried to stop it, but found that his face was more complicated.
He glanced at Lin Jinwen before he said, "In the end, it's your second uncle, he also saved my life when I was a child." And this time there was no big incident, he was happy...... Maybe it's just a moment of confusion......"
Lin Jinwen frowned slightly, but Lin Zisu glanced at her a little proudly, and then looked at Lin Luzhi: "Third uncle, since Jinwen can't tolerate us, you don't have to be embarrassed......"
"This Lin family, now I can still call the shots." Lin Luzhi said in a deep voice.
Seeing this, Lin Jinwen knew that her mother's favorite praise was her father's sincere heart, but now she has become truly pedantic!
She was so angry that she couldn't speak, and Lin Jincheng also frowned slightly.
It just so happened that the old patriarch also arrived, and when he saw Lin Zisu who was embarrassed on the ground, a mouthful of spit directly fell on her face.
Lin Zisu's face turned green, and the old patriarch screamed: "Evil star! ”
Lin Zisu wanted to get angry, but he thought that he had just disguised himself, so he only made a pitiful appearance and said: "Patriarch, Zisu is not a ......"
"Hmph, don't you know yet? Where's your mother? He hurried to the house today and was taken away by the eldest lady, but he got more solid evidence.
Lin Zisu said in a bad heart, and hurriedly prayed to see Lin Luzhi: "Third uncle, my mother's son is not good, and I can't stand the toss, so you can let your mother go." ”
Lin Luzhi's brows furrowed, and he turned his head to look at the old patriarch: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later." Come, send the old patriarch back to rest. ”
"Why didn't Daddy let him finish his sentence? It is related to the reputation of the Lin family, and it is also related to the reputation of the fourth sister. Lin Jinwen said directly, she knew that her father wanted to put two rooms and one horse, but she refused to let it.
"Jinwu, don't mess around!" Lin Luzhi scolded in a low voice.
Lin Jinwen's nose was sour, and tears appeared jerky in her eyes.
It happened that Zhao Huaiyan sent away Lord Zhang and Lord Wang, and also came over in person.
Hearing Lin Luzhi's scolding, he only sighed slightly in his heart, and stepped forward to the patriarch and said, "Still don't do what Miss Seven instructs?" ”
Lin Luzhi turned his head to look at him, and arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, this is a family affair of the lower officials......
"Doesn't General Lin treat this king as a family?" Zhao Huaiyan walked in, dressed in a red python robe, so noble that people didn't dare to look at it directly.
He lightly crossed Lin Jin's wife and sat down on the stool behind her before saying, "Miss Seven, this king is here, you can do whatever you want." ”
The corners of Lin Jincheng's mouth twitched, King Ning is here to help Jin's wife, and he is willing to offend his father-in-law?
Lin Zisu saw that King Ning would actually come to intervene in this matter, and cried to Lin Luzhi even more urgently: "Third uncle, why don't you let Zisu die with your mother......
"It's easy to die, don't scare Miss Seven." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, her slender fingers gently clasped the tabletop, and two guards immediately walked in outside, dragging her to leave.
Lin Luzhi's face sank, and he hurriedly bowed his hand to Zhao Huaiyan: "Your Highness, there is really no need to be so enthusiastic about this matter. ”
Zhao Huaiyan's hand stopped lightly, and those guards also stopped, holding Lin Zisu on standby.
Lin Jinwen looked at her father, who was only caring about Lin Zisu, lowered her eyes lightly to hide the sourness in her eyes, and only said to the old patriarch: "If there is any witness, you can just say it." ”
"Yes." The old patriarch saw that King Tang Ning was actually protecting Lin Jinwen like this, where could he dare to be disrespectful and arrogant, so he hurriedly asked people to bring the adulterer handed over to him by the eldest lady.
"He is the adulterer of the Ye family, when the Ye family was a childhood sweetheart with him, after marrying Lin Wei, he has been disconnected, and he will send him money every year." After the old patriarch finished speaking, there was a feeling of raising his eyebrows on his thin face.
Lin Luzhi sent all his subordinates out, and then sat down on one side and said coldly: "Go and ask the eldest lady and the eldest master to come over." After that, he looked at Lin Jinwen again: "You don't have to ask about these things, go back and rest, what should be dealt with will be handled by my father." ”
Lin Zisu was about to speak, but Lin Luzhi opened his mouth again: "Zisu is also tired today, stay in the room to rest, nothing else, no need to come out again." After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Huaiyan: "Lord Wang, Lin Wei's matter has nothing to do with Lord Wang's matter, can it be handled by Weichen himself?" ”
"It is not a trivial matter to slander people for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country." Zhao Huaiyan said.
Lin Luzhi got up and was about to kneel, but was stopped by Zhao Huaiyan.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at the stubborn Lin Luzhi and frowned slightly: "Jin Wu and Lin Jincheng are also born to you, how can General Lin favor one over the other?" ”
Lin Lu's old face was flushed, but he couldn't speak. When his father died, he made him swear to take care of the people of the Lin family, how could he watch him die now.
Lin Jincheng stepped forward and saluted in front of Lin Luzhi, and said: "Lord Wang, the way back to Luoxia Garden this time is also far, I don't know if I can ask you to send a section, when you are here, Weichen will watch, and none of the people who should be punished will be able to escape!" ”
Zhao Huaiyan didn't mean to embarrass anyone, looking at Lin Jinwen's red eyes, she was just distressed.
"Even if it is a family matter, this king will not be in charge, but if the family affairs are not well managed, this king will take care of it as a state affair, slander the heroes of the court, and his crime should be punished." After that, he coldly glanced at Lin Zisu, who was still pretending outside, and walked away.
Lin Jinwen didn't say anything more, and went out with him.
When she left, Lin Zisu hurriedly broke away from the attendant's hand and knelt down in front of Lin Luzhi: "Third uncle, you can't listen to them, after all, my father is your half-brother......
Lin Luzhi thought about Zhao Huaiyan's words, sat down a little tiredly, looked at the old patriarch and adulterer below, sighed heavily, and only let people drag her back to the room.
Out of the courtyard of the second room, Lin Jinwen silently followed Zhao Huaiyan and walked back, staring only at the bluestone slab under her feet, not noticing where she was around, until the person in front of her stopped, she didn't stop.
"Grievance?" Zhao Huaiyan looked at the depressed person, the corners of his mouth hooked up a little smile, but it disappeared quickly, he was always not used to laughing.
Lin Jinwen didn't speak, was she wronged? My mother didn't feel aggrieved when she got in all her life, but that was her biological father, how could she not be aggrieved?
"Take you somewhere."
Without waiting for her to speak, Zhao Huaiyan's hand gently wrapped around her waist, and then she felt that her body was light, and then she looked at it, and the person was already on the roof.
Lin Jinwen was stunned: "Where is the prince going to take me?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan didn't speak, just hugged her and continued to move forward.
People are in the sky, and the house passes by quickly, like light and shadow, and the news disappears in an instant.
It was slowly getting dark, and Lin Jinwen could only hear the whirring wind in her ears and the lights of thousands of homes under her feet, until she finally stopped, but it was by the river outside the city.
At night, many people cruise here, the talented man who recites poetry, the beautiful woman who laughs at the piano, and the vendor who peddles things with a small boat, it is very lively.
Zhao Huaiyan took her onto an inconspicuous canopy boat parked in the corner, personally propped up the pole, and let the boat float towards the center of the river, until it was far away from this complication, and finally sat down with her cross-legged at the bow of the boat.
"When I was a child, when I left the palace, my mother would take me here." He looked at the calm river and said lightly.
Lin Jinwen looked at him, her face was cold, but her eyes were sad that she couldn't hide. In her previous life, she only knew that his mother was a concubine who was ordered to be executed by the emperor in her early years, but she didn't know why she was executed, and she didn't know why she died, but she gave him the title of king and raised him under the queen's knees.
"It's rare to hear people mention Concubine Yin." Lin Jinwen said in a low voice.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't mind: "The mother concubine is not what they should mention, and they should only live in guilt for the rest of their lives." ”
His tone was extremely light, but with an unconcealed hatred.
Lin Jinwen rarely saw him show hatred and sadness, but now that she sees it, she realizes that he also has a huge wound hidden in his heart.
"Lord ......"
However, the mother always said that lovers are all lucky people, and they are the most afraid of ruthless people, and they are also the most pitiful and ruthless. General Lin is loyal and filial, but he has been stationed at the border for so many years, and he is inevitably sluggish in dealing with things related to love words, but it can be seen that he has no intention of hurting you. Zhao Huaiyan looked sideways at the person sitting next to him, as if he was more petite than usual, and his little face was full of sadness.
He couldn't help but reach out and rub her head: "Seeing that Lin Jincheng is always like this, now change me." ”
When Lin Jinwen heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, but she didn't stop talking, and the hair she scratched was scattered into her neck, itching her to giggle, and the hull of the boat suddenly shook, and her body was unstable, so she fell directly backwards.
I thought that the back of my head would have to hit a bag, but I accidentally bumped into a piece of softness, and when I looked sideways, my head actually rested on Zhao Huaiyan's abdomen.
He reclined under him, his hands on the pillow and his head looking at the sky.
Today's sky is not thick with clouds, but there is an unexpected cleanliness and comfort.
Lin Jinwen was about to get up, but Zhao Huaiyan raised her hand and rested on her: "Rest for a while." ”
Lin Jinwen smelled the good aroma coming from him, and she stopped moving, and lay down with him.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, she always felt that Zhao Huaiyan seemed to have ordered her sleeping hole, which made her sleep very deeply, and when she woke up in the morning, she had already arrived in her bed, and there was a low voice outside.
"Isn't Miss Seven awake yet?" Ye Ling was a little anxious.
Mother Yang stopped the person and smiled lightly: "Miss was tired yesterday and slept a little deeper." Miss Ye has something to say, let's talk about it later. ”
Ye Ling looked into the house again, and saw that there was still no movement, so he could only grit his teeth secretly, but handed a stack of brocade handkerchiefs to Mother Yang: "This is what I promised before, and I gave it to Miss Seven, and I asked Mother Yang to convey it on my behalf." I'm going back to Ye Mansion today...... I hope Miss Seven doesn't dislike what I embroidered as a merchant's daughter. She said softly.
Mother Yang accepted it with a polite smile: "Miss Ye, don't worry, Miss Seven has always had clear grievances. ”
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded with a smile, but he was extremely disappointed in his heart. Now that my aunt has been convicted of fornicating with others, she has a letter of resignation, and she is afraid that she will not be able to turn over in the future, and her plan will be ruined.
No, she can't be the daughter of a businessman who is scolded as a 'cheap businessman' for the rest of her life!
She turned her head to look at Lin Jinwen's room where there was still no movement, remembered Wang Ruyan she saw that day, gritted her teeth slightly, and walked away.
Lin Jinwen sat up, and Mother Yang had already lifted the curtain and came in to serve.
"How's Cai'er?" She asked as she changed her clothes.
"My life was saved, but the scars on my body ......" Mother Yang didn't continue, I am afraid that the ugly scar will never go away, which is too cruel for a woman who has not yet come out.
Lin Jinwen sat silently in front of the bronze mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and lowered her eyes slightly: "Your man is waiting at home?" ”
"Where are you, would you like to meet?" Mother Yang was suddenly overjoyed, she only said that she would hand over Zhuangzi to him to take care of, but she thought it was just a casual remark.
Lin Jinwen nodded: "Call over and take a look first." Has there been any news from the sixth child? ”
Mother Yang nodded hurriedly: "The news that came in the middle of the night last night said that I found the person you wanted, and I was waiting in the small courtyard you bought, and I haven't asked for my identity yet, but it should be just a matter of one or two days." ”
"Hmm."
"And last night, Second Lady...... The Ye family has been given a letter of resignation, and he was sent back to the Ye family this morning, and Miss Ye also came to give you a handkerchief. Mother Yang gave her the things Ye Ling sent.
Lin Jinwen glanced at it lightly and didn't say much: "What did the others do?" ”
Mother Yang gritted her teeth slightly, and looked at Lin Jinwen with some concern: "Our master is a kind-hearted person, and the second master confessed and admitted his mistakes yesterday, and his head was broken......"
"Tell me the result." She looked blank.
"The second master is confined to his home and has been demoted to a commoner. The fourth lady was also grounded. Mother Yang also sighed secretly in her heart, the second room almost killed the people in the third room, but she only got such a lesson.
Lin Jinwen closed her eyes heavily, since her father couldn't bear it, she could only use the murderous knife herself.
After she finished freshening up, she went straight to Lin Luzhi's study, she knew that he must have stayed awake all night.
When I arrived at the place, sure enough, there was still candlelight in the study that had not been extinguished.
Lin Luzhi was a little nervous when he saw her coming, and only sat behind the desk and asked kindly, "Why did you come here so early, have you rested?" ”
"My daughter came over because she had something to ask for......"
Lin Luzhi thought that she was still worried about the second room, and sighed lightly: "Father also has his father's difficulties, Jinwen, you ......"
"My daughter wants to go to her grandfather's house, and it is not far from the capital, and the emperor does not allow the Xu family to enter Beijing, so I am always allowed to visit." She lowered her eyes and said lightly.
Lin Luzhi's hand holding Shujian tightened slightly, and he was a little depressed: "I asked Jincheng to escort you over." When will you be back? "He was a little cautious. He is indeed not a good father, let alone a good husband, and now looking at his daughter who has been wronged, he feels very uncomfortable, but he doesn't know what to do.
Lin Jinwen didn't know that he was uncomfortable, but his father was soft, and he was too easy to be used by those hypocritical people, and when the old lady came back in the name of Nianguan, it would be even more difficult to deal with, so the Xu family had to return to the capital as soon as possible.
"I'll be back before the end of the year." Lin Jinwen replied, seeing that he looked relieved, she sighed lightly in her heart but didn't say more.
turned his head to find Lin Jincheng, packed a few things at random, and got into the carriage and went out.
However, her carriage did not leave the capital directly, but turned to Xicheng, and she had to meet the person found by the sixth child in person.
Lin Xiyu originally wanted to find her and told her about the banquet that entered the palace a few years ago, but she didn't know that she had arrived, and Lin Jinwen had already gone out.
When I went back to talk to the eldest lady, the eldest lady didn't mind: "At this time, of course you are seizing the opportunity." When the time comes, as soon as your grandmother comes back, the power of this family will fall into her hands again, and Lin Luzhi listens to her the most. ”
Lin Xiyu's eyes lit up, but she was a little unhappy: "My mother asked me to go to the mountains to serve my grandmother?" ”
"If Lin Luzhi also listens to your grandmother, and your grandmother asks him to give you King Ning's marriage, don't you want it?" The eldest lady sat on the side of the warm couch with her head covered and sneered: "And your father's official position may also make King Ning and Lin Luzhi think about it, even if King Ning doesn't agree at that time, let him find you the same royal relatives and nobles, isn't it better than waiting for your useless father to give you a random man?" ”
"That's what my mother said." Lin Xiyu nodded, and then listened to her and said: "And your eldest brother is still in prison, but he Lin Jincheng is a young general, why?" ”
Lin Xiyu nodded: "I'll pack up and go up the mountain." After that, he happily went out to his own Qingwu Courtyard, walked halfway, passed by Lin Zisu's courtyard, heard the sound of beating and scolding the maid inside, stopped and glanced at the maid next to him, and his mind moved: "Let's go to the courtyard of the fourth sister to see, she is miserable here, but don't let her little face like a flower and jade lose its color!" ”
The maid was so frightened when she saw her gritting her teeth that she hurried in to pass the word.
The person in the dark caught a glimpse of this scene, the corners of his mouth raised coldly, looked at the fire fold in his hand, and quietly turned around the back of the courtyard.
