The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and the morning light entered the house, but there was no figure buried in the case.

"Aruo!" Lin Shisheng broke in angrily, pointed at her and was about to scold, but when he saw her lying motionless, as if she was asleep, he swallowed his anger again.

With a sigh, he gently lifted her shoulders, intending to carry her to bed.

As soon as she got up, she opened her eyes, glanced at Lin Shisheng tiredly, and said weakly: "Dad, you're back."

Lin Shisheng didn't know what he was busy with, and he hadn't returned to Lin's house for several days.

Lin Shisheng saw that her eyes were blue and haggard, and he was distressed and annoyed: "Xiuzhi said that you have been eating and living in the study for three consecutive days, is there anything important that can't be handed over to your father to deal with?" ”

Lin Jiaruo drooped her eyelids and pursed her mouth, as if she was very sad: "I have been to the princess's mansion, but the princess won't let me see my father."

Lin Jiaruo knew that he couldn't do anything, so he planned to ask Lin Shishengniang for help at the beginning, and the Yan family's private guards were beside her, and it was inconvenient to move in the capital, but her father was a guard in the capital.

It's just that I didn't expect that in the face of my biological father, there would be a day when I had no way to ask for help.

After she was stopped outside the princess's mansion that day, she returned to Lin's house and silently entered Lin Shisheng's study.

Lin Shisheng's expression was stunned.

He was busy maneuvering between Xiao's father and son, and in order to appease Xiao Daocheng, he had to go to the princess's mansion to stay, but he didn't receive a letter from Ah Ruo, presumably intercepted by Xiao Huanyue.

"I'm sorry, Aru" he felt guilty.

Lin Jiaruo shook his head and said gloomily: "It's good that Dad is back, I have something I want to ask you for."

"Let's talk about it another day!"

Lin Jiaruo looked at him blankly, not expecting him to refuse before he listened.

Lin Shisheng looked helpless: "Have you forgotten what day it is?" ”

Lin Jiaruo looked dazed, she has been worried about the life and death of her eldest brother for the past few days, how can she still have the heart to count the days.

"Today is the thirtieth anniversary of the Chinese New Year's Eve," Lin Shisheng said, "When I met Xiuzhi in the morning, I realized that you had been locked in the study, and in the morning your aunt did not wait for you, and entered the palace alone to make a pilgrimage." As he spoke, he couldn't help frowning, Ah Ruo was so haggard that no one told him.

Lin Jiaruo then remembered that it seemed that someone from Gan's side came to say something to her yesterday, but she was in a mess at the time and couldn't remember clearly.

Lin Shisheng saw her ashamed face, and comforted: "It doesn't matter if you don't go, don't take it to heart, you can sleep well now, and I will have someone come to take you into the palace for the royal family banquet in the afternoon!" ”

Lin Jiaruo's sister and brother are nominally the daughters of Princess Yiyang, and the royal family banquet can also be served.

But she shook her head: "I don't want to go." "It's not a real clan, and it's embarrassing to go.

Lin Shisheng was not reluctant, nodded and said, "Then you can go back to the room and sleep well, and you are not allowed to come in the study again!" I'll try to come back as early as possible in the evening and stay with you for the New Year, and we'll be talking about your important things when the time comes."

I slept until I was woken up by the maid, and the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was about to begin.

Lin Yuanzhi and Lin Jiawei both followed into the palace, and the Lin family had three rooms, plus only ten concubines, which was really deserted.

Mrs. Lin's body became worse and worse, and she returned to her room after eating a few bites.

Gan was stunned for a while, his expression darkened, and he also left, Lin Jingsheng and his brother's wives and concubines were embarrassed, so they left with her.

Sun sighed, and when she saw Lin Jiaruo looking at her, she said in a low voice: "Earlier, when your eldest brother and sister were at home, everything in the big house was fine, but now" As soon as she finished her words, she looked at Lin Xiuzhi.

Although Lin Xiuzhi usually doesn't smile, he also replied to Sun's stiff smile at this time, and Sun smiled with satisfaction, even the fine lines at the corners of his eyes looked kind and soft.

She personally filled a bowl of soup for each of the three children, looked at Lin Xiuzhi with a smile, and occasionally looked at Lin Pingzhi, looking like she had a son and everything was enough.

Lin Jiaruo scooped up the soup in the bowl, suddenly put down the spoon again, and stood up.

"I'm going to Xing'er Hutong, if my father comes back, I'll bother the second aunt to tell me!" Lin Jiaruo said.

Sun got up in a panic: "But"

"I wish to stay tonight, if I don't go, won't my mother want to spend the New Year alone?" Lin Jiaruo said calmly.

Sun was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiuzhi, and did not stop again.

From Lin's house to Xing'er Hutong, there is a distance.

Lin Jiaruo refused Sun's car and walked with Xiaoman.

Chinese New Year's Eve reunion, Swallow also returned to Xing'er Hutong early this morning to reunite with other wooden guards.

She stayed in the Lin family, although she was lonely, when her father and younger siblings came back, she could have a reunion, but her mother, who gave birth to a son and a daughter, had to stay alone when the family was reunited.

Thinking about it, Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but speed up his pace.

The door is closed, presumably Mu Shi, who usually guards the door, has also taken a holiday today.

The corners of Lin Jiaruo's lips lifted slightly, and she stretched out her hand towards the door, imagining what kind of surprise her mother would have when she saw her!

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed from the corner of his eye, and Lin Jiaruo hurriedly withdrew his hand and turned sideways to avoid it

"Girl?" The other party shouted in surprise.

Lin Jiaruo looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be the wood in the Ganymede.

Mu Da is the number one in the Wood Guard, and he is also the leader of the ten Wood Guards, both in terms of martial arts and temperament, it is extremely unusual; But just now, it was Mu Da who personally guarded the gate and stopped her.

His face sank, Lin Jiaruo frowned and looked at Mu Da, his right foot moved back slightly, and before he had time to think about it, he had already reflexively put on a defensive posture.

This bit of effort was naturally not enough in Mu Da's eyes, but he was also shocked by Lin Jiaruo's keen intuition, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"Is the lady at home?" Lin Jiaruo asked in a tense voice.

Mu Da nodded stunned.

Lin Jiaruo glanced behind him and asked in a cold voice, "I can't go in?" ”

Mu Da hurriedly shook his head, but he still blocked the door, as if in a dilemma.

Lin Jiaruo glanced at him coldly, raised his feet and walked forward.

Mu Da stuck his whole body on the door and begged: "Girl, let your subordinates go in and report it?" ”

Lin Jiaruo stopped and sneered: "When will I report when I go back to my home?" ”

Mu Da opened the door hesitantly.

As soon as she entered the door, Lin Jiaruo felt that for a moment, it seemed that the attention of many people was focused on her, and even the air seemed to be stagnant.

She felt the anomaly around her as she slowly walked inside.

There were two entrances to the courtyard, and she walked around the edge of the main hall to the second, and before she could step out of the shadows of the house, she heard the voice of a man in the courtyard.

The voice of a strange man.
