Lin Qingwan took the scissors and went to the garden to pick out two plums, and before Cui Ling could insert the bottle, Cui Ling was led in by Bai Feng. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

His face was a little ugly, but Lin Qingwan smiled at him, pointed to the two vases on the case and asked, "Which one does Mr. Cui think is more worthy of this plum blossom?" ”

Cui Ling's heart became more and more unhappy, but the expression on his face slowly returned to calm, and he glanced at the vase indifferently and said, "Both of them are worthy." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded slightly, and finally chose white porcelain, she smiled: "White porcelain with red plum, just right." ”

She picked up the vase and smiled at Cui Ling, "Mr. Cui and I will come and take you to a place." ”

Cui Ling asked, "Lord Lin is in a good mood today?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled and nodded, "Yes, great." ”

Cui Ling was even more angry in his heart, but thinking of Lin Qingwan's character, he suppressed the anger in his heart again, walked in with Lin Qingwan with a calm face, and only realized that something was wrong when he calmed down the anger in his heart, this place ......

Cui Ling looked left and right, this seemed to be the depths of the Lin family's backyard, he frowned slightly, although he had been a guest at the Lin family, he had really never been to the Lin family's backyard.

This......

He glanced at Lin Qingwan, if it weren't for Lin Qingwan's high character, he would almost suspect that she wanted to lure him into the backyard like the women he had seen before.

He was silent and followed Lin Qingwan inside, and then entered a small courtyard, where he smelled a faint smell of sandalwood.

Cui Ling's heart moved, and he followed Lin Qingwan to push the door in, and when he saw the tablet inside, he proved what he thought, this was really their ancestral hall.

He couldn't help but pause behind the threshold.

There was a lame old slave cleaning inside, and when he saw Lin Qingwan coming in, he hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

Lin Qingwan put the vase on the table, smiled at the tablet on it, and then turned around and beckoned to Cui Ling: "Come in, this is just a small ancestral hall, and Mrs. Yang often comes here to recite scriptures, don't worry." ”

The highest tablet here is only for Lin Ying, and the tablet in the ancestral hall of the Lin Mansion in Xicheng has only been used for all the tablets of the concubines, and Lin Qingwan will take Lin Yubin back to clean it on the first day of every month, and this small ancestral hall is for the people closest to her.

Cui Ling went in at this time, bowed down and saluted the tablet, and then looked at Lin Qingwan, "Why did Lord Lin bring me here?" ”

"Naturally, it's a puzzle, don't you understand?" Lin Qingwan stepped out of the way and let him see the tablet at the bottom, placed on the side.

Cui Ling frowned and looked at it, it was written "Venerable Husband Xie Yiming's Spirit", he thought about it, but didn't understand it, so he asked directly: "Cui Liang's death is your handiwork?" ”

Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes, bowed to the incense and inserted it into the incense case, did not deny it, but turned her head and asked, "What, do you want to avenge him?" ”

Cui Ling was furious in his heart and asked, "Why?" ”

Lin Qingwan asked, "With the enmity of life and death, is Mr. Cui still willing to cooperate with me?" ”

Cui Ling asked angrily, "Why is it?" ”

Lin Qingwan pointed to Xie Yiming's tablet and said, "For revenge." ”

Cui Ling was stunned for a moment, looked at Xie Yiming's tablet, then looked at Lin Qingwan, frowned and asked, "Wasn't Second Prince Xie killed by his eldest brother?" ”

The affairs of the Xie family were in an uproar, and even Cui Ling had heard of it, not to mention that he focused on investigating her after he noticed that Lin Qingwan had a different attitude towards him, and did not find that she had a grudge against the Cui family, but she had a lot of entanglements with the Xie family and the Zhao family.

Lin Qingwan's eyes flashed, and she looked at him and said, "Xie Yiyang is just exiled, but I will never let Cui Liang go, do you know why?" ”

Cui Ling's face changed, and when he heard her say this, he probably guessed that Xie Yiming's death was only afraid that Cui Liang was the mastermind.

"He should thank you," Lin Qingwan said, "I wanted to wait for him to come to Suzhou and tear off his face and make him ruined, but unfortunately your proposal made me very excited." ”

"Now Daliang really can't withstand the infighting, we should unite sincerely, the Lin family and the Cui family are infighting, and it is other countries that benefit." Lin Qingwan smiled slightly: "That's why I decided to give him a good time." ”

Cui Ling asked in a suppressed voice, "Should I still thank you?" ”

"Of course," Lin Qingwan's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, "If it wasn't for your uncle who took action to erase the traces after the incident, my husband would not have died unjustly for four years and could not take revenge." ”

Cui Ling's face froze, and he lowered his head.

But he really couldn't figure out why Cui Liang wanted to kill Xie Yiming, he came with anger, but at this time, he was empty-hearted.

"So I didn't want to let go of any of them, especially after seeing Cui Jing," Lin Qingwan turned to look at him slightly, "It's a pity, you are also from the Cui family." ”

It means that she took a step back because she saw his face.

Cui Ling came full of anger, but when he left, his heart was full of complexity, of course he didn't believe what Lin Qingwan said, he felt that the reason why she changed her method was mostly because she was afraid that he would alarm the Cui family.

Lin Qingwan may really be able to ruin Cui Liang's reputation, but it must be when the Cui clan is defenseless, if his second uncle or the clan is prepared, it will be difficult for Lin Qingwan to make a move.

On the contrary, the contradiction between the two families will be put in the clear, and that is really more than worth the loss.

So it must have been his questioning yesterday that alerted her to the alarm, which is why she was so eager.

Cui Ling didn't know whether to be happy or regretful at this time, but Lin Qingwan was right, did he really want to provoke a fight between the two families for this?

If Cui Liang is wronged, it will be fine, but he deserves it.

Cui Ling and Cui Liang don't have much affection, they are sad, but it is impossible to be so sad that they lose their minds and ignore good and evil.

So when he walked out of the Lin family's courtyard, he had already restrained all his emotions and began to arrange Cui Liang's funeral.

He is just a clan brother, so naturally it is impossible to cover the coffin directly, so many opinions have been asked by the chief of the guard.

When he was busy, he didn't want to, but when he was empty at night, he couldn't help but think about the way of Cui Lin's two families, and hesitated for a while, Cui Ling still picked up the pen and wrote another letter to the eldest brother, thought about it, and wrote another letter to the second uncle, and called a guard and said: "Hurry up and send it back, try to catch up with the previous letter." ”

He had to intercept the information when his eldest brother made an inquiry, so as not to let the second uncle detect that something was wrong and suspect the Lin family.

Cui Ling sighed, at this time, the world is chaotic, and it is indeed not the time for infighting.

Cui Ling took Cui Liang away, and Lin Qingwan asked people to wash the ground with water over and over again, Yi Han always felt that the Cui family was a strong enemy, and since he had revealed his tracks, he had to strengthen his vigilance, so he began to train the guards hard.

Lin Qingwan saw that he was so nervous, so she smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, doesn't the Cui family know it now?" ”

"You have to make some preparations, auntie, Cui's is different from Zhao's."

"This is true," Lin Qingwan asked, "Zhao Sheng has been so quiet lately, what is he doing?" ”

Yi Han was speechless for a moment and then said, "I don't know. ”

They didn't send anyone to keep an eye on Zhao Sheng, because it was unnecessary.

Lin Qingwan didn't really want to know, it was originally to change the topic, she smiled: "You're back, tomorrow we will go to Shang's house to pay New Year's greetings, and if you don't go, it's almost the Lantern Festival." ”

Yi Han said helplessly: "Auntie and grandmother are not worried that Cui Ling really told the Cui family?" ”

"He just wants to tell, and he has to hesitate for a while," Lin Qingwan said, "But I think he probably won't say it." ”

"Why?"

Lin Qingwan turned around and smiled at him, "Because the Cui clan is not monolithic, everyone is the same." ”

Yi Han's eyes lit up, "Is there a contradiction between Cui's fourth room and the second room?" ”

"I don't know," Lin Qingwan shook her head honestly and said: "But I know that Cui Ling's talent is not under Cui Liang, but when it comes to Cui Jiazi, everyone only hears of Cui Liang, who has ever heard of Cui Ling?" ”

Yi Han was silent, he had specifically checked the Cui family and didn't notice Cui Ling, which showed that he was really not famous, but in this era, literati are judged by fame, and it is impossible for Cui Ling not to want to be famous.

"If we were to pick the entire Cui family, of course Cui Ling would not sit idly by, but it would be different to single out the Cui family's second room or Cui Liang, such as me," Lin Qingwan said: "If I know that there is someone who wants to deal with the sixth, eighth or eleventh uncle, as long as I don't implicate the clan, I won't interfere, and if they are at fault first, I won't care." ”

She secretly said in her heart, and if the other party's target is the eighth uncle, she may push it.

Now it's okay, but from Lin Jiang, she knows that every time Lin Yubin is sad, he is indispensable.

Now she doesn't interfere just because he can't do anything now, but the disgust in her heart is not much less because of this.

The protection of the clan is also based on reason, if it is not reasonable, but does not ask about right and wrong, what is the difference between it and aiding the abuse?

Cui Ling naturally understands this, he has been trained very well since he was a child, and he has read books from Mr. Ji for several years, and his personality is not too bad.

If Cui Liang really murdered Xie Yiming, then he really deserved it, and he wouldn't do anything for him.

So now it's just a matter of waiting for the eldest brother's letter.

Cui Ling's eldest brother Cui Lian just received his brother's letter, and when he opened it and just finished reading it, he was still thinking about it in his heart, when there were footsteps outside, and his little servant Yijiu walked in quickly and said: "Uncle, the second master sent someone to deliver the letter back, it was an urgent letter." ”

Cui Zhen immediately got up, "Bring someone in." ”

The guards came in with a burden on their backs, apparently running as soon as they got off their horses.

Cui Yan couldn't help but ask urgently, "But what happened to the second master?" ”

The guard paused for a moment before saying, "The second master is very good, it was Young Master Liang in the second room who had an accident." ”

He lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Liang has fallen off his horse and is gone." ”

"What?" Cui Zhen was taken aback.

The guard hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, "This is a letter to the uncle, the second master told me to send it back quickly, and I must rush before the first letter, but ......"

The guard was annoyed, "A small dereliction of duty, not catching up with the first letter. ”

Cui Yan eagerly opened the letter and said eagerly: "It's okay, I just finished reading the first letter." ”

The guards breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Yan read the letter at a glance and glared slightly.

He was silent for a while, and finally asked, "Did the second master write a letter to the second room?" ”

"Yes." The guard pulled out another letter.

Cui Yan took it, thought for a while, and said, "You go down to rest, I'll deliver the letter in person." ”
