But Lin Yun'er didn't seem to want to stop there, and Wang sighed lightly, "Alas, the murderer has been caught, and it is the child next to Master Huiliang, and that child is also pitiful." ”

"Yuan Jie?" At that time, she only said that she was going to ask for ice, except for Hui Liang and Ziwei, who were the Yuanjie monks, but why did he do this?

Wang put the white cloth in his hand back into the basin, got up and tucked her quilt up again, "You went to the ice cellar that day, and it was the kid who locked you up, do you remember why Long Wu went to find the abbot?" ”

"Mother also knows about Long Wu's past?" Lin Wan'er frowned, her face became very soft against the background of the candle flame.

Wang stretched out his hand and touched Lin Yun'er's face, and nodded slightly, "As a parent, how can you not want to be when your child is not around for so many years?" Even though the child was not his, it was appropriate to find out those people and ask them about what happened back then. "Didn't Mu Ling tell her this, she was afraid that she got up early to drive away Long Wu's heart, Wang looked at Lin Yun'er gently, and said, "She, relying on her grandfather Aya and several brothers at home to spoil her, she is lawless every day, and finally leaves in that unfilial way, alas, how can parents not be masters for their children?" ”

Lin Yun'er knew that the Wang family was talking about Huang Zishan, she was silent, she didn't want to comment on anything about this matter, and then she said, "When I gave birth to you, I sent you away without even touching it, have you ever blamed me?" ”

Her eyes were misty, and her usual dignified image was long gone, but Lin Wan'er didn't know what to say, she continued, "It must be strange, it's strange that my mother didn't protect you well." ”

"No, I didn't." Lin Yun'er said, "The child knows that the child's mother is the kindest mother in the world. ”

"Really?" Wang's tears were no longer uncontrollable and dripping down, "I don't know what to say for my mother." ”

Lin Yun'er wanted to get up and comfort her, but her limbs were still a little numb at this time, and she could only watch dryly, and finally, Wang stopped crying and continued, "I thought that if she woke up, everything in the future would be able to listen to your grandfather's arrangement, if not, if the arrangement in the clan is not bad, then listen to the arrangement of the clan, but I never thought that it would be you who came back, what should I do if this is called a mother?" ”

Seeing Wang's expression, as if there was something to say, Lin Yun'er said, "Mother? Is there anything else you haven't told me? ”

Wang lowered his eyebrows, but was silent.

Lin Wan'er was a little anxious, "I believe that my mother will not hide it from me." ”

Wang sobbed sullenly, and quickly turned her head to take out the silk handkerchief in her arms to wipe away her tears, and finally, she turned around and said, "The clan has arranged a family affair for you, saying that the eight characters are in harmony with you, and the family is right." ”

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er seemed to be thundering, it turned out that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape this life.

Lin Wan'er couldn't help but be unwilling, and asked softly, "Who is the other party?" ”

"The sister-in-law of the second room of the Xie family of Chen County. Xie Jia Saburo, Xie Lin. Wang said, "Although I am lame, but there is no housemother in the family, and there is no Ah Weng, I thought that you can live better in this way, although you are older, but you are also in the prime of life, and your grandfather agreed for you." ”

"Is that him?" Lin Yun'er blurted out.

Wang wiped away his tears and asked her, "Have you seen him?" ”

"Well, when I went to Jifu Temple that day, the child met him." Lin Yuner said.

"Do you have any other problems besides your legs?" Wang asked anxiously.

"The child didn't see anything wrong with him except his legs, but," said Lin, "the child didn't like him." ”

Wang's hand was very soft, and it was extremely comfortable to touch her face, and she sighed, "The matter has come to this, I'm afraid it's powerless, although the Chenjun Xie clan has been in the past few years, but this huge foundation of the scholar clan is enough to shake half of Darui, and your grandfather can't do it, so he will let her out, but I never thought that in the end, it was up to you to suffer this hardship." God has been so unfair to you. As she spoke, she choked up again.

"Mother don't cry." Facing Wang's beauty and softness, Lin Yun'er's heart couldn't help but pinch up, and she opened her mouth to comfort, "Things will always take a turn for the better, and the child is not yet in time." Who can say what the future holds? ”

Wang just stopped crying, she knew that Lin Yun'er was comforting her, she said softly, "The wedding date is scheduled for a year, and when you raise you for a few more months, your father will send someone to take you back." She paused and said, "There are some things that we women can't do, do you know why the Xie family married our family?"

"I don't know."

"The Xie family has passed the limelight, and our Huang family is an upstart, they need opportunities, we need stability, marriage is the best choice." Wang's words were fine, as if to explain her powerlessness again, "My child, I have suffered you." ”

"The child didn't know that there was so much involved." In ancient times, the marriage of the valve clan, the interests of the family are the first, the feelings are secondary, as the noble daughter of the clan, there are conditions to get better things, but they also have to lose a lot of things, they were born for the family, the scholars, the most affectionate and the most ruthless.

Lin Wan'er continued, "Mother rest assured, the child knows what to do. ”

Wang looked at Lin Yun'er in distress, and didn't know what to say, and she arrived after a while, "In order to reward you for your meritorious work in finding the real culprit, the sage rewarded you with a ferret fur made of ferrets hunted by the sage himself, but in the future, don't learn from your father, you will always drill into the case." ”

Wang continued, "I have also ordered someone to carry back the box of your "Case Collection", and I still read less of that kind of book, and I don't have to be like Ah Ling, who doesn't dress all day long, neither male nor female, and is not at home all day long. ”

Mulling? Since that day I came to treat Ouyang Lan and reminded her not to get too close to Shen Yu, I haven't seen her since then, and I don't know where she went. "Mother, can you tell me about Ah Ling?"

"She's been a backbone since she was a child." At this time, the Wang family seemed to have calmed down a little, "She is the child rescued by your father from outside, there was a famine in Huaiyang Road that year, your father was ordered to inspect, and rescued her from the wolf's den in the mountains and forests, perhaps because of drinking wolf milk for a few days, she became so rebellious, but she was born smart, she loves medicine, she is also your grandfather's first granddaughter, so your grandfather is always used to her, let her study medicine with your second uncle for a few years, your second uncle studied medicine under the saint of medicine, But she only studied for three years, and then she learned all the kung fu that your second uncle had learned for eighteen years. Since then, everyone in her family has loved her very much. ”

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes lightly, her expression seemed to be a little floating, but soon calmed down, she recalled, "When I was pregnant with your father for the first time, I was very unwell, and then I fell into the baby, and suffered from the cold, the doctor said, I am difficult to get pregnant in this life, she is extremely filial, less than a year into the house, learned some skills, and gave me porridge boiled by her every morning, so half a year, I was diagnosed with a happy pulse." It's just that the woman is not in the middle. ”

She paused, the look on her face was a little solemn, "When I found out that she had become what she is now, it was too late, she was a stubborn child, let her cure herself She always didn't listen to persuasion, she said she wanted to go to the rivers and lakes, we let her, she said she wanted to seek her life experience, we also let it, she said she wanted to have an official position, we tried our best, but she always didn't want to cure herself, and I don't know if we were too harsh on her." ”

"Maybe she had other plans. Mother, it's not your job. ”

Wang laughed and cried, "I hope." It's not early, and it's going to be bright in a few hours, so you can rest, and your mother will look at you again and leave. ”

"Where is Mother going?"

Wang said, "Your father is not in Kyoto these days, there are many affairs at home, I have to go back to cook, you go to sleep quickly, see you sleep for your mother before leaving." ”

Lin Yun'er closed her eyes obediently, her nose was already very sour, this is her mother, it seems that God is very deep to her, she has a father who loves her, a mother who loves her, a group of capable brothers, a more capable sister, she has never had things in the first half of her life, and now, she has got them one by one, so loved, she is a little overwhelmed, and she doesn't know how to repay it.

After a few breaths, she felt that the breath of the people around her had been far away, she opened her eyes, but saw from a distance that Wang's back was about to disappear in the corner of the door, the sky was dark blue at this time, and there was a bright moon hanging in the sky, the cold moonlight shone in along the pane, and the bamboo screen in the room moved to the guqin, so that a cool breeze blew straight to her face from the crack of the door that had not yet been solidified, refreshing people's hearts.

Instead, she thought of the marriage that Fang Cai Wang mentioned to her, Chen Jun Xie's family, and in an instant, that beautiful face appeared in her mind, the tall back of the cane under the laurel tree, if this person didn't speak, she could barely bear it, but if she spoke, she always felt uncomfortable, no, she knew that this was not an ordinary discomfort, but a kind of fear.

That's right, it's fear.

No matter how pleasing he looks, no matter how fascinating he is, the fear that comes from her heart can't be wiped out, she can never forget the way her father looks after drinking every time she comes home from part-time work, and she will never forget the man's expression before he dies, she is afraid, she doesn't dare.

Somehow, because she was too tired, or because her body was numb, she fell asleep again unconsciously, and when she woke up the next day, the sky outside the house was already bright, and looking at the sky, it was another sunny day.

She tried to move her limbs, although there was still a feeling of numbness, but she was probably still able to move, she lifted the thin quilt, about to get up, at this time, the door was opened, Jade was about to come in with a basin of water, seeing her wake up, a smile instantly bloomed on her face, "Lady, are you awake?" ”

"Mother Cui, I've worked hard for you these past few days." Lin Yun'er propped up the bed with her hands.

Jade smiled and put down the basin in her hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "The slave maid is not hard, but the imperial doctor is suffering, since the lady came back, he has been running on both sides every day, no, now he is asleep in the kitchen." ”

"Is the county lord's illness better?" Lin Yun'er asked casually.

Jade twisted the white cloth in the basin and handed it to her, "Look at the complexion is better, but the vitality is a big injury, a few days ago I came to the lady's bed, I didn't come yesterday, I must be tired." ”

Lin Wan'er lowered her eyes, wiped her face and wiped her hands casually with a white cloth, "The county lord has a heart." ”
