When Lin Qingwan returned to the county lord's mansion, she met Mrs. Xie who was going out to meet guests. Two days after returning from the Xie Mansion, Lin Qingwan found a reason to take Mrs. Xie over to live with her.

At the beginning, Mrs. Xie lived here and had to go back to Xie Mansion for three or two days a day, but now she has lived in the County Lord's Mansion most of the time, and she only goes back almost every two days.

Mrs. Xie left, and the inside and outside of the Xie Mansion were relaxed, plus Lin Qingwan used it again

For such a thoughtful reason as "filial piety", they would like Mrs. Xie to live in the county lord's mansion for a long time. In short, now the two sides are safe, only Xie Xuan, Mrs. Xie was unwilling to take him to the county lord's mansion, so she left him in the Xie family.

He is the son of the Li family, so he naturally returned to her, but Mrs. Xie didn't say that she would not take him anymore, and the Li family had complicated feelings for him.

is both guilty and distressed, and afraid that he will be bought by Mrs. Xie and compete with his brother for power and profit in the future, so he is always hot and cold.

Xie Yiyang's feelings for this son are even more complicated, he hardly sees him, and he doesn't have a good face when he sees him.

Mrs. Xie looked at it coldly, and couldn't help but sarcastically say to Mama Yang: "At this point, they will mess up with themselves, I shouldn't listen to Sister Wan'er, I should take the child with me for a few more years, and then it will be lively." Mama Yang smiled and comforted: "Isn't the young grandmother sorry for you, and you don't want the child to dangle in front of the young grandmother, now that they are all messed up, it is better to spread their hands." ”

"Aren't I afraid that she will have feelings for her after getting along with the child for a long time?" Mrs. Xie said distressedly: "Sister Wan is too soft-hearted, otherwise I would have taken him with me." Mama Yang didn't answer this, but changed the topic with a smile and said, "The time you made with Mrs. Luo is almost up, madam, let's get ready to go out quickly." As a result, before they could go out, Lin Qingwan came back, and Mrs. Xie couldn't help but stop and asked, "Sister Wan, do you want to go with me to see Mrs. Luo?" Lin Qingwan smiled and shook her head,

"Mother, go, I heard that there are several new clothes in the Nishang Pavilion, you and Mrs. Luo go and have a look." Seeing that she was always coming and going, Mrs. Xie couldn't help asking,

"What are you up to? I see that you don't even have time to check Yubin's homework. Although Lin Yubin left Sūzhōu, Mr. Shi could assign her a lot of homework, and she made a plan for herself to complete a certain amount every day, usually Lin Qingwan checked, but during this time, Mrs. Xie was checking.

Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "Isn't there still a mother?" Rao is Mrs. Xie hurt her, and at this time she couldn't help but nod her forehead and said, "You can fool me." Mrs. Xie went out to meet friends, and Lin Qingwan returned to the house with a smile.

"What about Daxiǎojiě?"

"I'm practicing," Bai Feng said while fetching water for Lin Qingwan to wash his face: "Young Master You, they went out, and before leaving, they also encouraged Daxiǎojiě to go out with them, but Daxiǎojiě refused." ”

"What are they going to do?"

"The slave doesn't understand it very well, it seems that she is going to a literary meeting, not only talented people, but also talented women." Lin Qingwan bowed her head,

"Yubin is right not to go, if she wants to go to the Wenhui, I will take her there in the future." Most of this kind of literary meetings of talented and beautiful women are held by locals in the capital, such occasions have always been held in local groups, Lin Yubin will most likely be excluded if she follows Lin You and them, she is reluctant to let her suffer that anger, as for Lin You and them, boys, it doesn't matter how angry they are.

Lin Qingwan changed out of the heavy clothes on her body, washed her face, and wiped her neck, which made her feel much better.

Bai Mei smiled when she saw it and asked,

"Would you like to add an extra ice basin? The weather in the capital is getting hotter and hotter. Lin Qingwan shook her head,

"No need, I'll just blow the wind, you go to Daxiǎojiě to have a look, let her not be greedy for cold and add more ice basins, if it is hot and cold, it will not be good." Bai Mei responded and took the order to go.

Lin Qingwan drank a cup of tea, waited for the heat on her body to dissipate before going to the study to deal with affairs, the first thing she read was Xie Yiyang's surveillance report, and when she saw that it was still as usual, she threw it down to deal with the things that Sūzhōu had sent over.

Yi Han pushed the door in and said, "Grandma, there's a letter from Hongzhou." Lin Qingwan stretched out her hand to take the letter and asked, "What else is there besides the letter?" ”

"The messenger came from General Zhong's retainers, saying that everything was under the orders of my aunt and grandmother, and I now arranged for him to live in the Chucai Courtyard in the front yard." It was the residence of the staff arranged by the Guogong Mansion in the past, Lin Qingwan bowed slightly, opened the letter and looked at it, and only closed the letter after half a ring: "Invite someone, I will see him in person." Yi Han hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma think twice before acting." Lin Qingwan shook her head and said: "I know your concerns, the Lin family has made meritorious deeds before, if it is successful, it will be regarded as a favor to them from the day I left Sūzhōu, I seem to be a little tossed like this, but it seems to be consuming affection." However," Lin Qingwan clicked on the letter on the table: "People are always reluctant to cherish things that are too easy to get, the more precious they are, the more rare they are, I have already taken a step first, and the next thing depends on their sincerity." Lin Qingwan's expression was light,

"If they don't have sincerity, the Lin family will still have time to withdraw at this time."

"But you have already offended the second prince." The corners of Lin Qingwan's mouth curled slightly: "What's the matter, the second prince has no possibility of succeeding to the throne." ”

"But if you refuse the fourth prince again, he will be annoyed in his heart......"

"If you can't get it, you will be annoyed, then there is no need for Chu Liao to send troops, Daliang will be destroyed sooner or later, not to mention, in addition to the second prince and the fourth prince, aren't there five princes and six princes?" Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "Your Majesty was only fourteen when he ascended the throne, and he is now strong and strong, and he still has a lot to do." "It's not sure which one will ascend the throne in the future, she is willing to stand as the fourth prince at this time, and that is also because she was pulled into the water by Zhong Ruying, and she never thought of participating in the competition for the throne before that.

As the righteous daughter of the emperor and empress, she only needs to live her own life in Sūzhōu, raise Lin Yubin, find her a good husband, and watch her give birth to a child, and her task will be mostly completed.

But she is also a living person in this world, she has feelings for Zhong Ruying and Mrs. Xie.

So for the sake of friendship, she impulsively went to the capital, and it was a dilemma from the moment she left Sūzhōu.

Retreated, never got along with Zhong Ruying, took a step forward, participated in the competition for the throne, helped Zhong Ruying, and also gave the Lin family a chance to take off again, and also gave Lin Yubin more protection.

The premise is that she has to succeed, and the superior is willing to return the favor, and now she gives them a chance to perform.

Now, the other party has not become a king, and she is not a minister, whether she can make her willing to fúù for them depends on their sincerity.

Zhong Ruying's retainer surname Lai, Lai You, just after standing up, from the great ancestor is the descendant of the Zhong family, his father followed the old General Zhong to the battlefield, and then he fought and was released, so the house slave became a retainer.

Lai You was loyal to Zhong Ruying, and was instructed by thousands of people before coming, so as soon as he saw Lin Qingwan, he knelt down with a sharp sound, kowtowed and pleaded: "Lord Lin, my master asked his subordinates to kowtow to you and admit their mistakes, saying that she can't go back in person now, and when she sees the county lord, she must personally ask for the guilt again, and ask the county lord for forgiveness." Lin Qingwan sat on the top and looked at it coldly, and said, "I thought your master was omnipotent." Lai You lowered his head and said: "Please forgive the county lord, what I did before, my master really had to do it." Lin Qingwan was silent, and Lai You paused and said: "It's really those people who deceive people too much, and they have been trying to assassinate in recent years, and they have never stopped, so my master couldn't help but make a plan, but he didn't expect to pull the young master of Guifutang and the county lord into the water together." My master also repented, but he was in a dilemma at that time, so he had no choice but to ......write a letter to Lin Qingwan for help, but he pushed her into a dilemma.

Zhong Ruying's control over Hongzhou is indeed very strong, not only Hongzhou, but also the surrounding areas of Hongzhou are also under her control, so the second prince can't stop her from spreading the news at all, it is just her weakness.

From the attack of the Chu army to the second prince Lánjié, her news was only half a day, and she ordered her henchmen to lead a group of people in black pretending to be the second prince, and all the messengers she sent out.

Didn't the second prince want to stop her military report, and she fulfilled her? It's a pity that she was too angry, she used too much force, leaving too many traces, and it was a little difficult to ride a tiger for a while, and she didn't know how to poke out the affairs of Hongzhou, and she knew that the time was too tight, if the emperor wanted to investigate, maybe he could really find out that half of the affairs of Hongzhou were directed and acted by herself, and Lu Yu and they collided at this time.

At that time, she was fighting on the front line, and she didn't know what was going on, but when she knew, Lu Yu and the others had already run away with the military report, and she was happy at the time, thinking that this was God's help to her.

Even if she is not the son of a family, the son of a big family is easy to make things bigger, and when the time comes, she will make the second prince suffer and not be able to speak.

At that time, she had planned to leave one or two lives behind so that she could continue the following actions, and it turned out that she knew their identities.

One is Lin Qingwan's optimistic future niece and son-in-law, the other is Lin Qingwan's optimistic future Lin family leader, and three are also the children of Lin Qingwan's friends.

But the military report that they snatched it from the hands of the real assassin, and the movement was not small, alarming all the people on the other side, not to mention lánjié, they could only chase after the people's butts for protection.

At that time, it was the peak of the Chu army's offensive, and the rear was important, but it was not as important as the front line, so Zhong Ruying's mind was mostly on the battlefield, and when she finally found time to ask, Lin Qingwan had already taken Lin Yubin to Beijing.

Let her enter Beijing so recklessly, Lin Qingwan may be fine, but she, the initiator, may be found out.

The emperor treats her, a righteous daughter, no different from Lu Zhencui Zheng and others, and has always treated her as the commander of an army.

The people she arranged in the court did not dare to speak for her openly, otherwise the emperor's suspicion would be aroused between breaths.

She could only ask Lin Qingwan for help, but in this way, even if Lin Qingwan was caught in a struggle for power, she was still the emperor and the frontier general.

Zhong Ruying knew that although Lin Qingwan admired her and had the righteousness of a friend, she would not betray the emperor for her sake and put the Lin family in danger, and she had to give enough reasons and benefits to persuade her.

Except for her friend, it is a good thing for the Lin family and Lin Yubin. So Zhong Ruying told her clearly that she would help the four princes compete for the throne, hoping that she could stand on the side of the four princes and pull the second prince down first.
