Shang Mingjie asked cautiously, "The lord at that time will be someone from my uncle's family?" ”

Old Madam Shang smiled, "At that time, the Lin family army was still there, and your great-grandfather was in the Lin family army, so the main general was naturally a member of the Lin family." ”

"My great-grandfather has been through a hundred battles, why did he die so easily?"

Old Madam Shang sighed, "I vaguely heard your grandfather say that they encountered an ambush, and only a few of the people brought by your great-grandfather survived. ”

The brother and sister glanced at each other, Shang Danzhu quietly reached out and stabbed his brother, Shang Mingjie lowered his head and whispered: "Could it be that the Lin family doesn't like the great-grandfather, so ......?"

Old Madam Shang glanced at him sideways and reprimanded: "What nonsense, at that time, the Lin family's army was very prestigious, and the Zhao family was only a small deputy general under his command, why did the Lin family target the Zhao family?" ”

Old Madam Shang is a human spirit, not to mention that the two children are not well disguised, at this time, she is somewhat aware of their purpose, she can't help but sigh slightly: "Although I don't know what misunderstanding there is between the Lin and Zhao families, but the relationship between the two families was good when your uncle was still there, I really don't understand how the two of them became like this." ”

She stretched out her hand to take the hands of the two children and sighed: "Grandmother is old, I can't force your uncle to let go of the Lin family, and it is impossible to ask your Aunt Lin to live in harmony with the Zhao family, but I hope that our Shang family can be impartial and not help either party suppress the other." The Zhao family is your uncle's family, but the Lin family is also your aunt's family, and your cousin Lin is your aunt's only bloodline. ”

"Grandmother ......"

Old Madam Shang wiped her tears and said: "Speaking of which, I can't stand your cousin Lin, I can't protect her, but fortunately she still has an aunt, otherwise ......"

Old Madam Shang was stunned when she said this, could it be that Lin Jiang was reluctant to hand over Yubin to her because of the Zhao family?

Her face was getting hard to look at.

Shang Mingjie and Shang Danzhu didn't think about it so much, they simply thought that Mrs. Shang was sad, and hurriedly promised that they would get along with the Lin family well in the future and take more care of Lin Yubin.

Old Madam Shang was full of tiredness, waved her hand and said, "I know that you are all good children, as long as you are harmonious." ”

Nan Chun caught a glimpse of Old Madam Shang's face, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Second Master, Third Miss, the old lady is tired, why don't you talk about it here today, let the old lady rest first." ”

Seeing that their grandmother's face was indeed not good, the brother and sister quickly stood up and retired.

Old Madam Shang waved her hand, and after they left, she took Nan Chun's hand and sat back on the bed, she was anxious in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Nan Chun, did you say that my uncle had already discovered that the Zhao family was wrong, so he didn't want Yubin to live in our house at the beginning, and would rather donate all his property than hand it over to my Shang family for safekeeping?" ”

"Old lady, you think too much, haven't the two of them also had a conflict recently, my uncle said on the fold, it was because he was worried about the national economy and people's livelihood, so he donated the property."

Old Madam Shang shook her head slowly, "No, no, although the people of the Lin family are good, they are not selfless to that extent, not to mention that my uncle and Yubin are here, how can I be willing to donate so much property?" ”

"He's ...... Avoiding trouble? Old Madam Shang frowned, "But with our Shang family here, can the Zhao family still surpass me and bully Yubin?" ”

Nan Chun lowered his head and thought silently, isn't the Zhao family bullying Miss Biao right under your nose now?

And the Shang Mingjie brothers and sisters who walked out of the courtyard were in a different mood, Shang Mingjie said: "There may be some misunderstanding between them, I also don't think that the Lin family is the kind of person who designed to kill his great-grandfather, let's talk to my uncle and let the two families get back together." ”

Shang Danzhu rolled his eyes at the other party and said, "You are too naïve to think, now that the two families are in trouble like this, how can they get back together?" And from my grandfather to my uncle to my mother, I have confirmed this hatred, how can you make them believe you without evidence? ”

Shang Mingjie pursed his lips, "Didn't grandmother say that there were still a few people who survived back then, they may know the truth." ”

"How many years have passed, and do you think they are still alive?" Even their grandfather is gone, and they can still expect the great-grandfather's generation to live? Or people who participated in the war.

Shang Danzhu rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you think there will be a record of the Lin family?" ”

Shang Mingjie slowly shook his head and said, "Even if there is, it will be difficult to find, otherwise my uncle would not know nothing, and he has a good relationship with his uncles for so many years." ”

At least he had never heard of a conflict between the two families before, and in his impression, the relationship between the three of them had always been good, compared to the relationship between the other two major clans in Jiangnan, the Zhou family and the Xie family, and their relationship was much more prosaic.

And the uncle's family can still interact with each other so closely when they hate his uncle's family so much, Shang Mingjie feels chills just thinking about it.

Shang Mingjie pursed his lips, turned around and went out, Shang Danzhu was stunned for a moment, and immediately grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'll go out for a walk."

Shang Danzhu looked at him suspiciously, "You shouldn't be looking for Cousin Lin, right?" ”

Shang Mingjie said without changing his face: "Am I such a confused person, the matter has not been clarified yet, how can I tell her." ”

Shang Danzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "After all, it is our uncle and mother, you, don't come nonsense, if it is really found out that it is a misunderstanding in the future, the two families may be able to reconcile." ”

Shang Mingjie pursed the corners of his mouth and didn't speak, turned around and walked out.

Of course, he also knew that this was the best for the Shang family and the Zhao family, but what if it was proved to be a misunderstanding, and his uncle was unwilling to stop?

Aunt Lin doesn't know anything, won't they have to suffer a big loss?

Looking at the way his mother looked just now, the Zhao family obviously had a deep grudge against the Lin family, and they were afraid that even if it was confirmed that the matter of the great-grandfather was a misunderstanding, they would not stop.

Shang Mingjie felt uncomfortable, and rode directly to the Lin family's courtyard, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of the gate.

He dragged the horsewhip tightly, looked at the plaque of "Lin Zhai", and was at a loss for a while.

The porter opened the door and saw that his cousin was stunned and motionless, so he couldn't help but stand beside him and look up at the sky with him, "Cousin, what are you looking at?" ”

Shang Mingjie came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and stared at his toes for a while, hesitated for a while and asked, "Is Aunt Lin here?" ”

The porter was almost suffocated, but seeing that he finally spoke, he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, my aunt and eldest lady are here." ”

He invited people inside, "My cousin will go to the flower hall first, and the little one will make people report to their aunt and grandmother." ”

Shang Mingjie hung his head and went to the flower hall.

Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin were accompanying Mrs. Xie to make dumplings, and when they heard that Shang Mingjie was coming, they looked at Lin Yubin.

Lin Yubin's face was slightly red and said, "He must not be looking for me, my aunt doesn't have to look at me." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, got up and washed her hands and said, "Then you guys are busy first, I'll take a look." ”

When he arrived at the flower hall, he saw that he was hanging his head and nodding his feet, feeling sad and uncomfortable, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, Shang Mingjie has always been cheerful, there are few things in this world that can make him so sad.

"What's going on?" Lin Qingwan smiled and asked, "How is it like a frosted eggplant?" ”

Shang Mingjie couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes when he heard her laughter, and his determination not to say anything collapsed, and he asked frankly, "Aunt Lin, did you fight with my uncle and them?" ”

Lin Qingwan couldn't help laughing, raised her eyebrows and said, "They want to fight, but I, a weak woman, don't dare to do anything with them." ”

"Aunt Lin, you know that this is not what I said," Shang Mingjie said in a depressed mood: "In the past few days, some classmates have asked me whether our Shang Zhao and Lin families have fallen out, otherwise how would the Zhao family and the Lin family have a fight." ”

said that it was a fight, but in fact, it was just the Zhao family uniting other families against the Lin family, and Zhao Sheng was still looking for interests related to the Lin Bookstore before, and the family was not from Jiangnan, so it was not a big trouble, and not many people knew about it, and it belonged to their individual secrets.

But this time, Zhao Sheng had to deal with not only Lin Qingwan's aunt and nephew, but also the entire Lin family, which simply united all the people who could be united.

The matter was so big that even the students who were studying in the school heard a sentence or two from the elders in the family, and they couldn't help but ask Shang Mingjie because they were really curious.

The three Shang Danzhu sisters were obviously also inquired about, so the brothers and sisters only knew.

Lin Qingwan smiled when she heard this, and asked, "That ring was set up by your uncle?" ”

Shang Mingjie's face turned red, and he lowered his head and did not speak.

"Did you find a helper?" Lin Qingwan continued to ask with a smile.

Shang Mingjie's face turned even redder, no, the Lin family has a very high prestige in Jiangnan, even if Lin Jiang is gone, but the remnants of the four generations of the long house are still there, whether it is for profit, or for fame or popular support, no one in Jiangnan dares to follow the Zhao family at this time.

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly, "Since there are not many people, then this ring naturally can't be set up, how can we say that we are fighting in the ring?" ”

"But Aunt Lin, there is always a reason for everything, why is that?"

"Why, you ask?" Lin Qingwan said softly: "I also want to ask your uncle why, since your uncle's death, the Zhao family has been secretly targeting us, this is to think that our aunt and nephew are weak women, can't we do anything with him?" ”

Shang Mingjie was silent for a while, but still whispered: "I asked my mother, and my mother said that our two ancestors have a feud. ”

He was difficult, but he looked at Lin Qingwan seriously and said: "Mother said that the death of my great-grandfather was related to the Lin family, and my grandfather has always been suppressed by the Lin family, so the two uncles have a great prejudice against the Lin family. ”

"This is impossible," Lin Qingwan frowned without thinking: "Your great-grandfather died on the battlefield, what does it have to do with my Lin family?" As for your grandfather,"

She pursed her lips and said, "Do you think my grandfather is the kind of person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable?" Don't forget, the meritorious people who followed my grandfather at the beginning all became generals, and my father, he did not join the army, but as a jinshi, the Lin family army was handed over to His Majesty as early as after my grandfather's death, your grandfather was a military general, and his appointment and dismissal had nothing to do with my father, so how can we suppress it? ”

Lin Qingwan looked at him with blazing eyes and asked, "If you ask outside, who would believe that Lin Ying of the Lin clan would use war to design and frame one of his lieutenants?" My grandfather is frank and broad-minded, not to mention that he is a small deputy general of the Lin family, even my family's monstrous enmity can be put down, not to mention the Zhao family? ”

Shang Mingjie's face flushed with shame.
