The old woman and the spirit girl glanced at each other, understanding what the other party meant, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne in the future, the emperor represents the Chu State, and it will not change.

"Okay, if you can ask the emperor to witness this, we will believe you. ”

King Jun said, "Then please wait for a day, the emperor is busy today, and it's too late to come here." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

As soon as the talks were finished here, and when I walked out of the courtyard, someone came to report, saying that someone from the palace was from the palace, and asked His Highness to enter the palace tonight to meet His Majesty.

King Jun was puzzled, and after a while, news came from his subordinates again, and the joy of reaching an agreement with the Dian people was broken up at once.

Someone went to tell his father.

Xie Ling asked the whole story clearly, thought about it for a while, and said, "This may be a serial trap that will trap King Ye and His Royal Highness at once. ”

"It's not a very clever plan, as long as you have the heart to detect it, they must have other intentions. ”

Xie Ling said, "No matter what the attempt, we must find out the truth quickly." ”

King Jun nodded in agreement, it was still dark for a while, so it was better to go back first and then deploy, and no more people could take advantage of the loopholes.

I only heard Xie Ling say in the back, "Does Your Highness really believe that King Ye is innocent?" Your Highness must think clearly and cannot be mistaken by personal feelings. ”

King Jun turned around and said, "I will think it carefully, you continue to deal with the matter at hand, I will handle it well." ”

Xie Ling had no choice but to say no more, Sister Yan and the others had already moved away, and they would be alone in the future.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to the Lin Mansion to complain, maybe Zi'er was soft-hearted and willing to move the wedding date forward.

Just go.

When he arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lin Yuan was still in the Yamen and did not return to the mansion, and there was only one master in the mansion, Lin Zi.

Since the marriage, as long as someone mentions Xie Ling, everyone looks at them with a teasing look, even if Lin Zi is not an ordinary woman, she has to feel shy.

After the Xie family was angry with themselves that time, no one embarrassed themselves anymore, Lin Yuan became more and more motivated, thoughtful, and Master Shu was also ready to say hello during the year-end assessment of the Ministry of Officials, paving the way for Lin Yuan's future.

Lin Zi was a little embarrassed to come out to see him, but Qing Ying couldn't take pity on the seventh young master, so she persuaded, "Although the son looks at the scenery, he is actually under a lot of pressure, maybe he is too tired, if the young lady doesn't go to see him, it would be good to comfort and comfort him." ”

"You, you, will speak for him. ”

Qing Ying smiled, every time she saw Childe, she would always think of Qingti, but she liked Childe so much, so understanding, she would be happy for him when she saw Childe have a sweetheart.

Lin Zi was so concerned about the people waiting in the main hall that he didn't notice that Qing Ying was in a daze.

Looking at the sky outside from the window, "It's getting dark, why hasn't my brother come back yet, it's not good for him to keep waiting." ”

"What Childe wants to see is Miss, not our family, does Miss really want to hang Childe?"

"Forget it, it's getting late, let people prepare for food, I'll accompany him, and when my brother comes back, they can talk while eating." ”

Qing Sakura snickered, "Yes." ”

Lin Zi snorted, but involuntarily sorted out her makeup in the mirror before walking out.

Xie Ling knew that she wouldn't bear to let herself sit alone, and as soon as she saw her come out, she immediately said, "I'm really pitiful." ”

Sakura asks the people in the house to go out and let the two of them talk.

"Poor what?"

"Sister Yan and the three of them moved away, and I will live alone in the future. ”

"Then you have to pay attention, you are the master in the house, up and down, inside and out, pointing at you, be stricter, lest they be lazy and neglect you, you have always worked until midnight, remember to let people prepare for supper, the weather has changed, you have to feel that you have to change your clothes and quilts or something. ”

Xie Ling smiled and listened to her say all this, it's not bad for someone to nag, "Don't you think the most important thing is missing in the house?"

"What?"

"A hostess. ”

Lin Zi blushed, turned his head away, and ignored him.

Xie Ling said to himself, "I haven't learned these things, how do I know when to wear those clothes, my mother used to help us take care of them, and no matter how bad it is, my sister's girl will help me get it, and in the future, I may have to live a hungry life in the house and not warm clothes." ”

Knowing that what he said was exaggerated, Lin Zi was still very distressed, not to mention anything else, Xie Ling was a young man, and he was the only one in the empty house, dealing with those old foxes and little foxes during the day, and there was no one close to him to talk to when he went home.

"That's—it's better than—"

Xie Ling looked at Lin Zi with bright eyes, hoping that she would say what he wanted to hear the most.

Lin Zi looked at his expectant eyes, lost his confidence, and his voice was much quieter, "You write to your uncle and aunt and ask them to accompany you." ”

Xie Ling almost didn't come up in one breath, and rolled his eyes, "This is really a good idea, spread it, people still think that I, Xie Ling, am an unweaned child, if I don't die of laughter by others, my mother will have to laugh at me for the rest of my life." ”

Lin Zi had no choice but to look at him innocently, and Xie Ling immediately surrendered and stopped entanglement

。

Seeing him think about his feelings like this, Lin Zi said, "Anyway, I want to take care of the affairs of the Lin Mansion, so I will follow the standards of the mansion and let Qing Ying go to the mansion in two days to make arrangements to ensure that your food and clothing are arranged properly, is it okay?"

Of course, Xie Ling agreed, and also beat the snake with the stick, "The expenses in my house, the account books, the property or something, there was a sister Yan to help me take a look before, and now we don't have time to take care of these, you can help me." ”

This is to hand over all the financial power to Lin Zi, and the housekeeper is in advance.

Qing Ying also said, "Hasn't Miss learned very well recently, Xie Fu is now the son alone, there won't be too many problems, Miss will help the son." ”

Lin Zi glared at her with disgust, and sure enough, she still spoke to the Xie family.

"Qing Ying is right, you see that I am busy all day and I don't have time to go home, these things can only be handed over to the most trusted person, you can help me. ”

Lin Zi saw the slight blue and black color under his eyes, and could only say, "Okay, just don't let people spread it." ”

"I understand that I won't do anything that makes it difficult for you. ”

Qingying also went out, and the two chattered a lot, one time talking about their sisters, and the other time talking about their parents.

Xie Ling felt that such years were very good.

Seeing that it was already dark, Lin Zi asked, "Are you hungry, do you want to eat something first." ”

"Fortunately, Brother Lin should be back soon, wait for him. ”

Lin Zi smiled, "I knew that my brother would come back so late, so I asked someone to say hello and let him come back earlier." ”

"I'd rather he come back later. ”

Lin Yuan came in from outside, and he didn't let anyone come to speak, "It seems that you don't want to see me." ”

Xie Ling smiled, "If you don't want to see it, you have to see it, why did you come back so early." ”

"It's still early? My stomach has already protested. ”

Lin Zi said, "Then I'll let people set the meal, do you two want to have a few drinks." ”

Xie Ling said, "I have something to do tonight, so I won't drink it." ”

Lin Yuan smiled, "It seems that you are really busy, you haven't been here these days, Zi'er is very worried." ”

"Brother, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Who said I didn't come, sometimes I worked late at night, I couldn't sleep, and I inadvertently transferred to your house, but it was inconvenient to disturb. ”

Lin Yuan was also speechless, "It seems that you came in the middle of the night, I thought you were a gentleman." ”

"I didn't do anything excessive, I just couldn't sleep, come and see you. ”

Their brother and sister know his character and will not do evil things, and they are a little lamented by Lin Zi's status in his heart.

Lin Zi's heart was soft, but when she thought of her brother, she swallowed the words that she almost blurted out.

There are no outsiders, and the three of them eat at the same table, four dishes and two soups, and there are two dishes and soup

Xie Ling likes it, Xie Ling feels at home, if only there was no Lin Yuan in the middle.

After eating, no longer delaying, Xie Ling said goodbye and left, and specially asked Lin Zi not to forget what he promised.

Lin Yuan asked what was the matter, but Lin Zi just blushed and didn't speak.

"Brother Xie treats you and me so well, we can't repay it, in fact, you don't have to worry too much about me, you let him wait for two years, it turns out that it's okay, now the Xie family has a big business, but he is alone, why don't you advance the wedding date, so let him have someone to accompany him." ”

Lin Zi said, "That brother wants to marry me a sister-in-law and come back, so I'm relieved." ”

"How can I be in the mood to think about this now, you, don't worry about me, fate is here, naturally there is, you still cherish the people in front of you The most important thing." ”

"I will. ”

Knowing that he couldn't persuade her, Lin Yuan didn't say much, his sister had her own considerations, so she could only support her.

Back in the mansion, Jiang Yu was already waiting, cutting off Lian Jin's hand stretched out to the Chu State, and it was going well, but this compensation issue, there was such a big contradiction, and it was even difficult to reconcile, Xie Ling and Jiang Yu had to think of a complete strategy.

I thought that Lian Jin would bargain, but I didn't expect him to not want to give it at all. ”

Xie Ling said, "Now that he is getting rid of the big trouble, it is when he is complacent, so he will naturally make some excessive demands." ”

"What Sister Yan and Tianshen did in the court is really relieved, but are they really sure to deal with the Shang Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom?"

Xie Ling shook his head, "This involves secrets, and I don't know what they have to rely on in their hands, but the State of Chu can't weaken its momentum before fighting, Lian Jin is not a prince yet, there are always some restrictions, besides, the State of Qi can become his money bag and grain storehouse, and it can also become the person who puts cold arrows behind his back, has the State of Qi been oppressed for so many years, has it really been tamed?"

"You're saying that Shang Guo still has scruples. ”

"It's Lian Jin who still has scruples. ”

Jiang Yu sighed, "If you go to war directly, it may not make Lian Jin willingly come up with what should be compensated." ”

"Then just take it back, maybe we can still take the initiative. ”

"That Jin Kingdom. ”

"As long as the Qin State can contain the Jin State, our chances of victory are greater than that of the Shang State. ”

"I hope that the eldest princess will win the hearts of the people as soon as possible and form a real alliance with us. ”

Xie Ling nodded, "The Qin State is also an old empire, and it has a deep obsession with bloodlines, and it has always looked down on the origin of our Chu State. ”

"The regent went too suddenly, which caught everyone off guard, otherwise even Jin would not dare to be so arrogant, not only tricked us, but also dared to say that he would buy back the five border cities. ”

"The situation is unpredictable, and we need to be careful. ”

Jiang Yu nodded, the more he came into contact with Lian Jin, the more he knew how terrible this person was, he was like a poisonous snake, staring at you coldly, quietly waiting for the right opportunity to give a fatal blow.

But think about it, on his side, he is not weaker than Lian Jin, isn't Xie Ling Lian Jin's nemesis? It's just that success can't rely on these alone.

Sister Yan, Tianshen has also been involved, I hope that everyone can work together to ensure that Chu Guo is worry-free.

How many people's lights are burning until midnight, and how many people are nervously discussing at home.

According to the instructions, King Jun entered the palace to meet the emperor.
