Seeing that Lin Jinwen stopped talking to someone, Mrs. Xu turned around and said with a smile: "Jinwen, this is the young lady you know?" ”

"Yes." Lin Jinwen smiled lightly, looked at Xue Wenxin, and said, "Have you ever met Princess Pingxi and King Pingxi?" ”

"I've seen it, Miss Lin hasn't seen it yet, let's go first, and we'll talk later." Xue Wenxin smiled softly, looking extraordinarily sincere.

Lin Jinwen said goodbye with a smile, and then turned around and followed Mrs. Xu forward.

Xu Zhaozhao didn't have a good impression of Zheng Jiaojiao, and when Lin Jinjiao came over, he pulled her sleeve and snuggled up to her and whispered: "Sister Jinjiao, what is Miss Zheng looking for you for?" ”

"Just say hello, and congratulate the prince on his birthday in a while, and we will sit obediently in the hall." You won't get in trouble if you don't go out.

Although Xu Zhaozhao wanted to play, he also knew that this time was not peaceful, so he only nodded.

A few people walked with their mother-in-law for a cup of tea, and only then did they arrive at the Shoutang where King Pingxi was.

Pingxi Wangfu is the old mansion given by the first emperor, the area is more than double the size of the former Lin Mansion, the carved beams and paintings are not flashy, but there is a kind of neatness and simplicity that the military generals have been known for.

At that time, there are many people in the Shoutang who come to worship their birthdays, and the most conspicuous ones are the top ten talents in today's spring.

As soon as Xu Chengqing arrived, someone immediately shouted 'Zhuangyuanlang', and many people pulled him to speak, and the ladies sitting behind the screen also looked over here, their eyes burning. The new champion Lang, his sister has just canonized the county lord, and the Xu family is even more prosperous, and the future will be limitless.

The young ladies were like peach blossoms, and they talked about this with each other shyly, but only one person was unhappy. The person next to her pushed her arm and said with a smile: "Wanwan, this is your ex-fiancé?" Why did you want to get out of the marriage, but what is his hidden disease? ”

Sun Wanwan's little face turned green with anger, and she pursed her lips and ignored her.

The young lady covered her lips and smiled, and didn't say much to her, only shyly discussing the talents who came here with the other ladies.

Mrs. Xu led Lin Jinwen and Xu Zhaozhao to the front to salute, Lin Jinwen glanced at the king of Pingxi in the first seat, his hair was already half white, although he was thin but in good spirits, and his eyes were even sharper, it could be seen that the king of Pingxi was not old and confused.

After a few people celebrated their birthdays, they thought that King Pingxi would also say a few auspicious words, and asked them to sit down behind the screen, but Princess Pingxi on the side smiled directly: "This is Miss Xu, it really follows her mother's appearance, the same beautiful and refined." ”

Xu Zhaozhao was suddenly complimented, his little face blushed, and he only smiled shyly: "Thank you for the compliment, princess." ”

"It is even more rare to be knowledgeable." Princess Pingxi smiled, took off a top-grade jade bracelet on her wrist, took it to the mother-in-law on the side, and said, "This concubine really likes Miss Xu, so this bracelet will be given to Miss Xu, so it should be regarded as a meeting gift." ”

Xu Zhaozhao was stunned, looked at the bracelet sent by his mother-in-law, and didn't know whether to take it, so he only turned his head to look at Mrs. Xu inquiringly.

Mrs. Xu looked at the young sons gathered on the side, and suddenly understood something in her heart, thinking that Xu Zhaozhao was not young, so she only smiled and bowed to her: "Since the princess rewarded it, you accept it." ”

"Yes." Xu Zhaozhao responded with a smile and accepted the bracelet, but suddenly there was a cool gaze on his body.

She raised her eyes and looked at herself so coldly, wasn't it Yuan Xiaogongzi who went to deliver the invitation yesterday or who was it? She felt strange, this little man was not very old, but his eyes were so cold.

"Zhaozhao, what's wrong?" Mrs. Xu saw her staring straight at the little son of the Yuan family, and said with a smile.

"It's fine." Xu Zhaozhao came back to his senses and only shook his head with a smile.

Lin Jinwen looked at it from the side, but didn't say much. Xu Zhaozhao was already married last year, and he should be fifteen this year, so he is about to get married, rather than waiting for his aunt to look for it herself, it is better for someone to send it to her door to let her pick and choose.

When I returned to the back of the screen after the salute, there were already many ladies and ladies seated, and when I saw them coming, many of them got up to talk. Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhaozhao are both good-natured, and they became familiar with the people here all of a sudden, but Sun Wanwan pulled Mrs. Sun and went out without saying a word.

Lin Jinwen sat silently drinking tea, but she was thinking about other things in her heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, she heard a familiar voice outside.

"Congratulations to Wang Ye Shoubi Nanshan."

King Pingxi looked at the person standing next to Dingnanhou, his face was not very good-looking, and he brought an aunt to congratulate him on his birthday, was it to embarrass him.

Princess Pingxi reluctantly smiled and said, "I heard that Mrs. Hou had a miscarriage, but she can't come out of the mansion?" ”

"Yes, this is my aunt, and she will soon be raised to a flat wife, so I brought it to the prince in advance to congratulate him on his birthday, I hope the prince will not be surprised." Dingnanhou's face was a little cold, as if he was dissatisfied with Princess Pingxi's question about Dingnanhou's wife.

Princess Pingxi is not an uninteresting person, let alone a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others, she only smiled faintly and looked at the mother-in-law on the side: "I can't sit down behind the screen, so I led this aunt to the side room to sit down." ”

The mother-in-law should get down, walked up to Hexiang and said coldly: "Auntie, please." ”

Hexiang was not angry, smiled lightly at Dingnan Hou, and said: "I heard that the scenery of this Pingxi Royal Mansion is unique, and the Hou Ye may accompany the concubine for a walk?" ”

"Nature." Dingnanhou looked at her smart eyebrows, responded with a smile, and then saluted King Pingxi again, turned his head and took her away.

As soon as they left, sarcastic words came out behind the screen: "This Dingnanhou is really bewitched, although that aunt is beautiful, but there are so many beauties in the world, could it be that he really likes this one if he is really determined?" ”

"In the end, it's the palace, don't talk about this." Someone reminded the lady before she stopped.

After talking for a while, King Pingxi's birthday banquet was about to begin, and the ladies and sons went out together to prepare for the banquet.

Today's spring is good, the birthday banquet is set in a huge peach forest in Pingxi Palace, the peach blossoms are in full bloom in April, there are long seats under the peach forest, and the middle vacant space is given to perform singing and dancing, the sun is fine, the peach blossoms fall with the breeze, as if in a fairyland.

The seats of men and women here are separated, the men sit on the west side, and the women sit on the east side, but there is no thing blocking, and it is a good time for men and women to look at each other.

Lin Jinwen and Xu Zhaozhao sat together, and the two of them huddled together to say this, when they suddenly saw a figure approaching, she looked up and looked, isn't this Ling Weiye.

I haven't seen him for a long time, this bear child still has a rebellious attitude on his face, and when he saw Lin Jinwen, he only smiled and said: "I have read through the four books and five classics." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at him with a smile and looked at herself, could it be that she was waiting for herself to praise him?

"Not bad." Lin Jinwen said.

Ling Weiye saw her reaction and said, "Don't you think I'm very powerful?" ”

Lin Jin's eyebrows raised slightly, if it is about knowledge, Xu Chengqing, who was born with excellent memory and strong comprehension, can be regarded as a genius, and Ling Weiye can only be regarded as smart.

She nodded, "It's amazing." ”

Ling Weiye looked at her, his annoyed little face turned red, and he didn't know what to say for a while, until Duan Hui came over and grabbed his arm: "Weiye, what are you doing?" ”

"Mother, I ......"

"Your father is not in good health, you still come here to run around if you don't accompany him, and you won't be allowed to come out next time!" Duan Hui had a little anger on her face, and she seemed to be still resentful of Lin Jin's previous use of her as a gunman.

Ling Weiye pursed the corners of his mouth aggrievedly, turned his head to look at Lin Jinwen, and was reluctantly dragged away by Duan Hui.

When he left, someone walked up to Lin Jin's side and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, I may be at the same table with you?" ”

Lin Jinwen raised her eyes and saw that it was Xue Wenxin, and then looked at Zheng Jiaojiao, who was already sitting with people not far away, and couldn't figure out what the reason was for a while, and saw that there was just a place on her table, so she nodded.

Xue Wenxin smiled at her gratefully, then sat down and said with a smile: "Miss Zheng met a good sister in the past, and I can't disturb her." She seemed to be explaining why she came.

When Xu Zhaozhao saw Lin Jin's defensive appearance, he didn't trust her much, only smiled and didn't say more.

After a while, a song and dance were presented, and the woman who led the dance wore a veil, her figure was outstanding, and she wore more than the dancer in the back.

The dancing posture was extremely beautiful, even Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but secretly praise it, Lin Jinwen looked at the other side, those talents were also straight-eyed, and even Xu Chengqing was fascinated by watching it with his head propped up.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and turned her eyes to look at the first satisfied Princess Pingxi and King Pingxi, knowing that most of the dancers were young ladies of the Yuan family, and the purpose of King Pingxi today was only for marriage. But why was he suddenly in a hurry to get married? Although the Pingxi Royal Mansion is not as good as when it was at its peak, it is also blessed by its previous military exploits, and from the emperor's attitude of only letting Yuan Luyi go to the southwest, the emperor has no intention of moving the Yuan family.

She thought about it for a while, but she didn't figure it out, the dance was already over, so she listened to the woman Ying Ying who was the leader saluted: "Granddaughter wishes my grandfather a long life and a long life, and his body is healthy and healthy like the wind." ”

Grandfather?

Lin Jin's mind buzzed, when she first saw Yuan Luyi, she called the ninth prince Zhao Tian as the ninth brother, at that time she thought that just because she was the county lord, she could also call the ninth brother in her turn, but later she saw that in addition to Zhao Tian, when she saw other princes, she was called the title in a proper manner.

She glanced at Mo Feng on the side, Mo Feng leaned over, and then heard her say: "Let Mo Yue check what the relationship between Concubine Xian and Pingxi Wangfu is." "If there is an obvious relationship, Mo Yue will not miss the check before, eighty percent is a very shallow relationship, then this time King Pingxi's actions are because Concubine Xian was demoted?

Mo Feng replied and quietly retreated.

When she left, Lin Jinwen raised her eyes to see the woman who led the dance, the woman took off her veil, and the sons on one side let out a burst of low cheers.

Lin Jinwen looked sideways at Xue Wenxin who was not far away, she was the niece of Concubine Xian, why didn't she come forward to congratulate her?

Xue Wenxin seemed to notice Lin Jin's gaze, turned her head and smiled at her: "Miss Lin, what's wrong, but I have something on my face?" She raised her hand and touched it.

Seeing this, Lin Jinwen only smiled: "No, I just suddenly got stunned." Miss Xue has ever been to the palace to see Niangniang this time? ”

"Auntie is not a mother now." Xue Wenxin sighed softly, and then said, "Fortunately, my aunt has arranged it before, so I can still enter the palace to see my aunt in a few days." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at her and suddenly became depressed, and always felt that her melancholy temperament was familiar, as if it was the same as when Zhao Huaiyan was uncomfortable yesterday, but she couldn't tell where it was......

She furrowed her eyebrows slightly, and said no more.

More than half of the excitement in front of the front, many people are already inquiring about the identity of the dancing woman in Fangcai.

I only heard Sun Wanwan say sourly: "It's just a relative who can't be beaten by eight poles, do you still want to fly on the branches and become a phoenix." As soon as she saw that Xu Chengqing also watched with relish, she didn't feel good in her heart, when the two of them were still unmarried couples, every time he went to his house, wasn't it also Wanmei's shouting before Wanmei......

Thinking of this, her eyes were also a little astringent, and she didn't eat the banquet, so she simply turned around and left.

She left angrily, but she didn't know that someone at the banquet also followed her quietly.

Lin Jinwen didn't pay attention, but Xu Zhaozhao noticed that she had been staring at Sun Wanwan since she came today, planning to find an opportunity to ask her why she came to the Xu family to withdraw from her relatives. Seeing that someone followed, he was surprised: "Then whose son, why did he follow Sun Wanwan?" ”

Lin Jinwen turned her head to see that Sun Wanwan had already left the peach forest, as for the man who went with her, she had seen it, it was the son next to his wife who had just opened his mouth at the door to question him, and he looked a little similar to her, presumably her son.

"What's wrong?"

The voice of inquiry came, and Lin Jinwen looked up to see that Mrs. Xu was looking at herself with concern.

Lin Jinwen smiled and asked, "Where is it from here?" ”

Mrs. Xu had also come to Pingxi Wangfu when she was in the capital before, thought about it, and said: "It should be Songzi Lake, and from Songzi Lake is the hall when we came." ”

Lin Jinwen thought about the layout of the Pingxi Palace, there should also be maids waiting by the Songzi Lake, thinking that there would be no major incidents, so she didn't care, just looked at the banquet and everyone came out from time to time to flatter the King of Pingxi.

Not long after, Mo Feng came back, walked up to Lin Jin's side and whispered: "When the slave came back, I happened to bump into someone talking about 'the queen's plan' or something. ”

"Queen?"

"Yes, as far as a few maids and wives in the house are concerned, the slaves and maids are afraid that they will find out, so they only pretend to pass by and listen to these two sentences." Ink Wind Channel.

Lin Jinwen bowed slightly, the queen also showed herself the rose tea sent by the Pingxi Palace, and she wanted to come to the Pingxi Palace, and the relationship with the queen was not bad, but the queen and the virtuous concubine who was now demoted to an official woman have become opposing enemies, so what is the attitude of the Dingnan Palace?

She thought about it, and couldn't help but look at the Pingxi Wang and his wife.

"Let's play a little game." The young lady who led the dance before suddenly proposed.

King Pingxi seemed to be very interested, and his face was wrinkled with a smile: "What game?" ”

The young lady smiled lightly and said, "Let people hide ten pearls inside and outside this peach forest, and I have prepared a good gift for the person who finds it." After that, clapping his hands, there was immediately a maid fish rushing in, holding a box: "There are ordinary gold and silver ingots in the box, as well as priceless ancient paintings of the former dynasty and high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a copy is the marriage book with the little woman, and see if the person who finds the pearl can choose it." ”

This reward is obviously aimed at all the talented people present.

Lin Jinwen looked at the smiling young lady, looking at her calm and calm appearance, thinking that this game was not a temporary idea but had been prepared for a long time.

The sons below are all happy, even Xu Chengqing is also interested, but he is just a game, women, he still prefers to be gentle and simple.

The ladies glanced at each other and suddenly lost interest.

The king of Pingxi also responded, and immediately asked people to hide pearls everywhere, and the young sons also got up and went out.

Xu Zhaozhao was so interested that he didn't want to go, but Lin Jinwen got up and grabbed her and said with a smile: "Let's go help my cousin, maybe he wants it?" ”

On the side, Xue Wenxin also stood up and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, I'll go with you too." ”

Lin Jinwen's eyes were deep and she did not refuse.

Out of the peach forest, Lin Jinwen looked around, and there was no trace of Xu Chengqing, and immediately said to Mo Feng: "Let's go to Songzi Lake first." ”

"Yes." When Mo Feng heard this, he went away quickly.

Lin Jinwen arrived one step behind, but when she arrived, she didn't see Xu Chengqing, nor did she see Sun Wanwan's figure.

Xu Zhaozhao looked at her puzzled: "Sister Jin, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Miss Lin, but something happened, do you want to tell King Pingxi?" On the other side, Xue Wenxin was also worried.

Lin Jinwen looked at the calm lake without a trace of waves, and did not make a sound.

Mo Feng stood on the bridge, looked around, and said, "Miss, those sons seem to have gone to the previous birthday banquet hall, should we go over?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen nodded, walked under the bridge, only walked a few steps, as if she had stepped on something, she only looked down and found that it was a green jade earring.

"That Miss Sun seems to be wearing earrings like this." Xue Wenxin was puzzled on the side: "Isn't it Miss Sun who has an accident?" ”

Lin Jinwen bent down to pick up the earrings, and the silver ear hooks were stained with blood, which must have fallen during the struggle.

Lin Jinwen was not familiar with the Pingxi Palace, and when she looked around, there was no trace of anyone fighting.

"Go to the birthday banquet hall......" Lin Jinwen said, and walked forward.

Xue Wenxin followed a few steps, only to suddenly twist his foot and trip to the side of the road.

Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly ran to her side and said with concern: "Miss Xue, are you okay?" ”

"I twisted my foot, it should be fine." Xue Wenxin's face turned pale with pain, and his lips trembled.

Lin Jinwen stepped forward and looked at her ankle, which was already rapidly swollen, but at this moment she had to go forward again, and only said, "Zhaozhao, you send Miss Xue back first." ”

"But Sister Jin, you ......"

"I'm fine." Lin Jinwen looked at Xue Wenxin deeply and didn't say anything.

Xue Wen looked at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, I had to come with me and delayed your business." ”

Lin Jinwen smiled lightly: "What can I do, it's just to come out and play." ”

Xue Wenxin smiled apologetically, and then left with Xu Zhaozhao.

As soon as they left, Lin Jinwen said to Mo Feng: "Sun Wanwan has probably had an accident...... she was halfway through her words, and saw that Duan Hui was arguing with the horse not far away, gritted her teeth slightly, and immediately walked towards them.

"I don't agree, I have already given birth to a son for you, what qualifications do you have to take a concubine, and your body and bones are okay?" Duan Hui said angrily.

"Hui'er, this is what my mother meant, and I don't want to be like this......" Before the horse finished speaking, Ling Weiye, who was timidly hiding on the side and didn't dare to make a sound, found Lin Jin'an, and without saying a word, he ran towards her and grabbed her sleeve.

Only then did the two discover Lin Jinwen, and they immediately accepted the quarrel.

The concubine had a kind face, and when he saw her coming, he asked with a smile: "Miss Lin, are you also looking for pearls, I just found one and gave it to you." The horse spread out her palms, Lin Jinwen looked at the bright Nanzhu, and before she could say anything about refusal, Duan Hui had already taken it over, and only looked at Lin Jinwen in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm here to look for my cousin, and just now he said that he wanted to ask the colt about Ren, and I saw the colt here, thinking he was there too." Lin Jinwen explained with a smile.

When the horse heard this, he smiled: "I am shallow, he is a champion, what else do you need to ask me." ”

"Wasn't the horse a champion too? Besides, if you have been in office for many years, if he goes to office, won't he want to consult you? Lin Jinwen said with a smile.

The colt laughed happily, but Duan Hui's face became more and more unsightly, and he looked at Lin Jinwen and said, "It's not early, we have to go back first." After that, he stared at Ling Weiye, who was holding Lin Jin's sleeve, and said, "Weiye, come here." ”

Ling Weiye's eyes were red, obviously frightened, but it was the horse who gently stepped forward and took his hand before he let go of Lin Jin'an.

Before the horses left, they saw that someone suddenly ran out in a hurry in the direction of the hall, Lin Jinwen saw that it was Jiang Qingshu, and quickly stepped forward to stop him, and asked, "Jiang Gongzi, can you see my cousin?" ”

Jiang Qingshu's tone was a little solemn, and said, "Something happened to Gongzi Xu, and I was about to look for Mrs. Xu." ”

"What's wrong?"

"He ......" Jiang Qingshu's face was slightly red, a little unspeakable, looking at Lin Jinwen's resolute gaze, and still said: "Just a moment later, he forcibly insulted the name of Miss Sun." ”

"What?" The colt behind also exhaled softly.

Lin Jinwen didn't believe it, and Jiang Qingshu also said: "I don't believe it either, Xu Gongzi is an upright person and will never do such a thing." ”

Lin Jinwen didn't say much, and trotted forward with her skirt.

Seeing this, the horse looked at Duan Hui and said, "Let's go and see it too." ”

Duan Hui was reluctant, but the colt had made up her mind, and she had to follow.

Lin Jinwen went all the way to the front hall, only to find that everyone was gathered in the side yard, she pushed aside the crowd and went in to take a look, Xu Chengqing had three blood marks on the left side of his face, standing at the door with a bruised face, the clothes on his chest were a little messy, and Sun Wanwan was sitting on the ground in disheveled clothes, her hair was slightly messy, her face was pale, and she was trembling, looking really frightened.

There was a humane on one side: "Master Xu, you forcibly ruined people's innocence because I saw it with my own eyes, even when it comes to the emperor, I can't get rid of this fact." ”

"The slave maid also saw it with her own eyes, if it wasn't for the slave maid coming in time, I don't know what Gongzi Xu would do to Miss Sun." There is a mother-in-law on the side who also swears.

Xu Chengqing has eight mouths and can't tell clearly, he clearly just heard the sound here, and wanted to come over to take a look, but he was directly pushed into the house, Sun Wanwan was somehow inside, scratching at his face, and when he reacted, a group of people outside had rushed in, and Sun Wanwan yelled at himself, he even doubted that this was not designed by Sun Wanwan.

Mo Feng looked at the mother-in-law and said softly to Lin Jinwen: "This mother-in-law is the one I met when the slave maid came back. ”

Lin Jinwen remembered what Mo Feng had said before, and several mothers-in-law gathered around to mention the queen......

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Xu hurried over with King Pingxi.

King Pingxi's face was very unsightly, and when he arrived at the door, he said, "Everyone, please go down and rest first, this king will take care of it here." ”

Lin Jinwen saw the dark-eyed man standing behind the crowd, and said softly, "Wait ......" After that, the man actually showed a smile in his eyes.

King Pingxi was a little surprised when he saw her come out: "Miss Lin, but there is something else?" "Today is his birthday feast, if such an ugly thing happens, it will be his face.

Lin Jinwen only smiled lightly: "Lord Wang, if you let everyone go, wouldn't this matter be unclear today?" Even if Miss Sun and my cousin are innocent, everyone walks away without knowing the truth, and I am afraid that it will be hard to believe that when the time comes, Miss Sun's reputation will be completely ruined. ”

"You know what's going on?" King Pingxi frowned and looked at her, he had already heard of her reputation, her medical skills were not ordinary, and her people were not ordinary.

"I know, I maybe." Lin Jinwen should go down.

"Miss Lin is naturally smart, otherwise how could she be in such a situation in the palace before?" Someone spoke up, and everyone knew that the Jiacai person she was talking about was the former virtuous concubine.

Lin Jinwen looked over, and it was still the lady at the door before.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was immediately a little dissatisfied: "Mrs. Yan, what do you mean by this?" Jiacai is now demoted to an official woman, entirely because she collided with the queen's mother, what does she have to do with Jinwu? And I also found out today, you are targeting Jin Wu everywhere, and you have bad intentions at the gate of the palace, and now it is even more so, where did Jin Wu offend you? ”

This Mrs. Yan sneered lightly: "I didn't say that the queen mother and the emperor should not be punished, but I just think that it is ridiculous that some people are smart and try to manipulate the affairs of the palace." ”

"You can't talk nonsense, the palace is forbidden, who can manipulate what?" Lin Jinwen looked at the person who couldn't wait to prove that she was a virtuous concubine, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a hint of playfulness.

When King Pingxi heard this, he also said, "Miss Lin, let's talk about things here." ”

"What else is there to say, it is clear that Xu Chengqing is resentful of my divorce, so he wants to take the opportunity to take revenge!" Sun Wanwan scolded angrily with red eyes.

Xu Chengqing's face turned slightly pale: "I have never had such an idea, someone really brought me here......"

"Who?"

"I ......" How did Xu Chengqing know who it was, he only came when he heard the sound.

Lin Jinwen was not in a hurry, looked at Sun Wanwan and said, "This is Miss Sun's dropped earrings?" ”

Sun Wanwan raised her eyes, looked at the earrings, raised her hand and touched her ears: "How can it be here." ”

Lin Jin's wife only said to the young man who was a little similar to Mrs. Yan: "When Miss Sun went out before, I saw that Yan Gongzi was also following, what did Yan Gongzi find?" ”

Sun Wanwan immediately raised her eyes in astonishment and looked at the man, her palms clenched tightly.

Lin Jinwen caught a glimpse and knew in her heart that Sun Wanwan was most likely dragged here after being insulted, and just when Xu Chengqing was attracted over, she thought about making a plan, not only letting Xu Chengqing take care of the loss, but also remarrying the now hot Xu Chengqing logically, killing two birds with one stone.

The smile in Yan Gongzi's eyes disappeared, and he only said lightly: "I didn't see anything." ”

"Really?" Lin Jinwen turned her head to look at Sun Wanwan: "Then Miss Sun may tell me why the earrings fell on the edge of Songzi Lake, and they are still stained with blood, so they don't look like they were taken off or dropped casually." She took out her earrings, and everyone also took the opportunity to look at Sun Wanwan's ear, and it was indeed torn open a piece of flesh, which was bloody and couldn't be hidden at all.

Xu Chengqing also reacted, and said directly: "After coming out of the peach forest, I have been with all my sons, and I only separated after entering this hall, Miss Sun, I didn't tear off your earrings." ”

"I ......" Sun Wanwan didn't know what to say for a while.

Mrs. Sun also heard the news and rushed to come at this time, and when she saw her disheveled daughter, she stepped forward and glared at her secretly, before hugging her and crying: "Wanwan, what's wrong with you, who bullied you?" ”

Sun Wanwan's eyes rolled, and she immediately threw herself into Mrs. Sun's arms and cried: "Mother, Xu Chengqing insulted me, and she still refuses to admit it, mother, I'm dead." ”

King Pingxi's face is the most ugly, today is his birthday banquet, this Sun family is not long-sighted, and they are still here to die or live.

His face was slightly gloomy, and he said coldly, "Miss Sun, why did you come here?" After that, he looked at the mother-in-law on the side and Yan Gongzi, who had testified before: "Did you see Xu Gongzi dragging people in with your own eyes?" ”

"This ......"

The mother-in-law's face was embarrassed, and Yan Gongzi only said lightly: "I didn't see it clearly, but since Miss Sun bluntly said that she was insulted by Xu Gongzi, the two families were also going to marry before, so it is better to simply re-order the marriage now, the best of both worlds." ”

When Sun Wanwan heard this, she also gritted her teeth, and didn't mention the fact that she was forcibly kidnapped by the lake before, and just cried blindly.

Xu Chengqing's face was pale, he didn't want to marry Sun Wanwan, especially if he was accused of being a bad guy and innocent!

"What Yan Gongzi said is unreasonable, Miss Sun was insulted, not only did you not want to seek justice for her, but you wanted your cousin to carry this black cauldron, did you deliberately do this when you didn't pass the scientific examination?" Lin Jinwen said bluntly.

Jiang Qingshu also stood up: "I know Gongzi Xu's character, I will never do such a dirty thing, and we didn't see this woman when we came, and I don't know where she came from." And Yan Gongzi, when we came, you weren't with us! ”

Although Jiang Qingshu is from a poor family, in addition to being deceitful, he is also a little sincere.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Mrs. Yan took the opportunity to say: "Didn't you also suffer from the benefits of the Xu family, Miss Sun is a weak woman, how can she joke about her own name?" Now you are embarrassed by an innocent mother-in-law and a person who testifies, it seems that you have really learned the same way as some people, making something out of nothing, and turning black and white upside down. ”

Lin Jinwen saw that she was coming towards Xu Fu and herself with a fierce attitude, and she became more and more sure that she was not a virtuous concubine. Concubine Xian is smart, she prefers to borrow a knife to kill people when she does things, and she will not show her knife, but this Mrs. Yan and Gongzi Yan do not do things absolutely, but leave a line everywhere, just to let themselves and the Xu family know that Concubine Xian is going to harm herself.

Lin Jinwen figured out this, and it was not difficult to understand why Mo Feng accidentally heard the mother-in-law say the sentence 'the queen's mother's plan' when she came back from outside. The queen also wants to borrow a knife to kill people.

Lin Jinwen turned her head to look at Sun's mother and daughter who were still crying, and asked, "Miss Sun has really been trivialized?" ”

"I ......," Sun Wanwan's cry stopped abruptly. If it is said that the Xu family is going to die and does not admit it, then her reputation will really be ruined, but if she says no, she will slap herself in the face again.

She hesitated.

Lin Jinwen stepped forward and handed her the earrings, and then said softly: "In this capital, a woman's reputation is the most important. And since the incident happened in the Pingxi Palace, the King of Pingxi will definitely find out, right? Lin Jinwen looked at King Pingxi, who had a slightly gloomy face on one side.

The king of Pingxi responded coldly: "Hurry up and make a time in this king's palace, this king will definitely find out!" ”

When Sun Wanwan heard this, she immediately said: "There is no need to check, although Xu Gongzi broke in, he just wanted to insult me, but fortunately, everyone came in time to ......."

"You ......" Xu Chengqing was about to argue, but Lin Jinwen stepped forward and pulled him and said, "Cousin, it's better to let the prince of Pingxi investigate this matter." I heard that Princess Pingxi often went to the queen's place to sit, and she also bothered the princess to say a few kind words in front of the queen's mother, but Mrs. Yan did not deliberately accuse the queen of being unfair in punishing Jiacairen. ”

Mrs. Yan's face froze, and her high and bulging cheekbones became more and more mean.

Princess Pingxi's wrinkles seemed to have a few more wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and she looked at Lin Jinwen deeply. When did she learn about the relationship between the Pingxi Mansion and the Empress?

Seeing that the matter was over, Mrs. Xu didn't want to be involved with the Sun family any more, so she stepped forward and said to Xu Chengqing: "The matter has come to this, you also disturbed the prince's birthday banquet, hurry up and apologize, and then go home and think about the past behind closed doors." ”

Even though Xu Chengqing was unwilling, but seeing that only one Jiang Qingshu was willing to stand up and testify for himself for so long, he also knew that it would be impossible to completely dissociate himself if he continued to be entangled, so he had to salute King Pingxi before leaving with Mrs. Xu.

When Lin Jinwen left, she deliberately looked at the identified mother-in-law and said, "My maid said that she met this mother in the front yard, why did she get here at this time?" ”

"Slave maid ......" The mother-in-law panicked, and couldn't find the words to answer for a while, but the face of the king of Pingxi was even darker, Lin Jinwen said that he Pingxi Wangfu deliberately harmed the Xu Mansion, but today he was planning to marry the Xu Mansion.

Lin Jinwen didn't wait for her to speak, smiled and left.

Jiang Qingshu also turned his head and followed.

In the crowd, Mrs. Yan looked at King Pingxi's dark face, her eyes darkened, and she also turned her head and left.

When everyone left, King Pingxi had an old face, turned his head and slapped the woman to the ground, and her head was bleeding.

Princess Pingxi was taken aback: "Lord, this is ......"

"This bastard thing, I don't know whose order it is, to design harm people in the king's palace!" The king of Pingxi saw it clearly, these people all regarded his Pingxi palace as a battlefield, and even his own subordinates were involved.

Princess Pingxi's face darkened, and she directly beckoned someone to take the woman down and torture her.

Seeing this situation, Sun Wanwan's mother and daughter dared to stay longer, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of King Pingxi, the mother and son quietly slipped away together.

All the way out of Pingxi Palace, as soon as Lin Jinwen went out, she saw Xu Zhaozhao and Xue Wenxin waiting by the carriage.

Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly greeted them, and when he saw that they were fine, he said, "Fortunately, it's okay." ”

"How did you guys get out?" Lin Jinwen said.

"It was Miss Xue who said that she was going to come out, and I was worried that someone had calculated this matter, and it was not safe for me to be a woman inside." Xu Zhaozhao looked back at Xue Wenxin before saying, "Miss Xue also looks quite smart." ”

"It's smart." Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that Mrs. Yan and her mother-in-law clearly wanted to make a name for the virtuous concubine, and she, the niece of the virtuous concubine, would become a target if she couldn't keep it. She was afraid that she would know what Mrs. Yan's purpose was from the beginning.

After thinking about it, the colt and Duanhui also came out.

The concubine looked at Xu Chengqing, then looked at Lin Jinwen and said: "You don't have to worry about today's matter, I will testify for Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi doesn't want to marry the Sun family girl, don't be reluctant." He smiled gently at Xu Chengqing.

Xu Chengqing didn't know why the horse suddenly showed favor, but he still respectfully replied: "Thank you, Master Horse." "After all, if the Sun family really makes trouble, one Jiang Qingshu will definitely not be enough, and it will be different if there is a Ling concubine.

Ling Yuma smiled, looked at Lin Jinwen, and then turned his head and left.

As soon as they left, Sun Wanwan's mother and daughter just came out of it, Xu heard the words of the concubine, the mother and daughter were not very good-looking, and hurriedly glanced at the Xu family, and hurriedly got into the carriage and left.

Xu Zhaozhao snorted angrily: "I really don't know the rules, the white-eyed wolf of the Sun family is still trying to marry to the Xu Mansion again, I don't want it!" ”

Mrs. Xu nodded her forehead and pretended to be serious: "Don't say such things, people don't know what to say." After that, he gratefully glanced at Xue Wenxin behind him: "Thank you Miss Xue for bringing Zhaozhao out, it's not too early, so we'll leave first." ”

Xue Wenxin smiled gently, and only said: "Madam doesn't dislike me from the countryside, just be clumsy." ”

"How could it be, Miss Xue knew at a glance that she was smart." Mrs. Xu praised her, but she didn't get close to her anymore, Xue Wenxin was Concubine Xian's niece in the end, even if she was a good one, she wouldn't let down her guard before she had too much contact.

Several people quickly got into the carriage and left, and when they left, Lin Jinwen lifted the curtain and looked at it, Dingnanhou and Aunt Hexiang were coming out of it, and Hexiang was looking at herself, showing an unclear smile.

Lin Jinwen always felt that this Aunt Hexiang was not ordinary, in her previous life, she could let Dingnanhou spoil her alone after retiring his wife, and in this life, she also has the ability to let Dingnanhou raise her as a flat wife, is it just her beauty?

When Lin Jinwen was thinking, Ding Nanhou happened to look over. He looked at her with not the same admiration and scrutiny as before, only with indifference.

"Jin's wife, what's wrong?" Seeing that she had been looking out, Mrs. Xu asked.

Lin Jinwen lowered the curtain and sat back, shook her head slightly, and asked Mrs. Xu, "Uncle, what is the identity of this Aunt Hexiang?" ”

Mrs. Xu shook her head: "I don't know, I heard that Dingnanhou seems to have brought it back to the house when he went out once." ”

Lin Jinwen leaned back slightly against the side of the carriage, but she couldn't help but lift the curtain and look back, but she happened to see Hexiang talking to Xue Wenxin again, and she seemed to be very familiar.
