"Isn't something already happening to the Dou family?" Lin Jiaruo asked puzzled.

She had just subsided her fever, and she didn't look very good at it, Xu Yaoning's original intention was not to bother with her.

It can be seen that she is thinking about it, obviously already bothering, hiding it makes her think more, and simply tell her everything.

"Dou Zeng was only involved in the theft of military rations at first, with your father's ability, it is not a problem to fish him out, at most he will only waste his career; But now, when the prince's rebellion case is involved, I'm afraid that the Dou family won't be able to get it well! ”

The Dou family is a family in the south of the Yangtze River, which was quite important in the first emperor dynasty, and the eldest brother of Mrs. Lin, Dou Zhang, was an official to the fourth grade, and the younger brother Dou Zhen entered the prince's mansion as the prince's house.

Later, the first prince was gone, Yongkang Emperor Xiao Daocheng succeeded to the throne, Dou Zhang was on the fifth grade, and Dou Zhan died violently after being convicted.

Since then, the Dou family has been in a slump, and there has never been a Beijing official again.

It wasn't until Lin Junsheng entered the Ministry of Officials that he added a vacancy in Taicang's order for Dou Zhang's son, Dou Zhang.

In the case of theft of military rations, Dou Zeng was the first to bear the brunt of the order of Taicang.

"The prince's rebellion?" Lin Jiaruo was surprised, "How could the cousin of the Dou family get involved in the prince's rebellion?" He also identified the prince at the beginning! Even if you want to arrest the princelings, it is Gu Er's brother who is more dangerous? ”

Xu Jiaoning showed a mocking smile and said, "On the contrary, Gu Zhan is fine, it is Dou Zeng who has something to do!" ”

Lin Jiaruo looked at her intently, listening to her tone, these things were almost the same as in her previous life.

"Someone is going to deal with the Dou family!" Xu Jiaoning said, "From the Dou family's entry into Beijing, to Dou Zeng's filling of the vacancies, the military rations case, and the prince's rebellion case, some people are paving Dou Zeng's dead end step by step!" ”

"Yuan Yan!" Lin Jiaruo blurted out.

"It's not Yuan Yan!" Xu Yaoning said, "No one in this world can turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain, what Yuan Yan did was just to take advantage of the situation, although Yuan Yan's actions were the most, but there were also many other forces to promote, such as me!" ”

Who's that? Who wants to harm the Dou family?

Lin Jiaruo thought silently for a while.

In fact, the answer is not difficult to guess, but when this answer pops out of her head, it suddenly makes her feel very tired.

Xu Yaoning sighed lightly: "Okay, don't think about it, the Dou family's affairs have nothing to do with us." ”

How can it not be related?

Lin Jiaruo silently retorted in his heart.

Although Dou Wu is not a pleasing girl, she is also a flower-like girl, she has just been married, and she will marry happily when she is married this year.

The third cousin of the Dou family is a kindly soft teenager, especially hardworking and resentful to his younger sisters, even Lin Jiaquan, who does not like the Dou family, is also gentle and polite.

The cousin of the Dou family has no outstanding appearance or outstanding talent, but every year when he pays New Year's greetings, he stuffs a golden orange into her arms with a smile.

If the eldest uncle and grandmother of the Dou family owe the Dou family's younger uncle a life, then what are the cousins and cousins of the Dou family?

"Mother, in your previous life, what was the ending of the Dou family?" Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but ask.

"Dou Zeng committed suicide in prison, Dou Zhang died in a hurry, the Dou family was exiled, your grandmother-" Xu Haoning paused for a moment and said lightly, "Stroke paralysis, like a waste person!" ”

When Lin Jiaruo woke up again, it was already dusk.

Xu Jiaoning couldn't stay overnight at the Lin family, so she left Huang Li to take care of Lin Jiaruo.

Huang Li used to serve by Lin Jiaruo's side, and when he came back after a few years, he was still gentle and amiable.

"San Langjun stayed in Ciyin Hall for half an hour, then went back to the study to rest, and he has been resting for an hour and a half!"

While Lin Jiaruo was eating dinner, he listened to Xiaoman talk about Lin Shisheng's news.

After learning that he was finally able to rest, I was also relieved.

As soon as they put down their chopsticks and didn't get up, the two sisters walked in hand in hand.

Lin Jiaruo's face sank, and he sat with his head bowed, not planning to get up to greet him.

The sisters of the Lin family have always had a good relationship, but since this year, Lin Jiaruo has been reluctant to see the two sisters.

Lin Jialan looked at the pale cyan homely clothes on her body, couldn't help but sigh, with a little smile on her face, and said: "I heard that you woke up, I came to see you, Ah Ruo is worthy of practicing martial arts, it seems that it is almost good!" ”

Lin Jiaruo said "um", his eyes turned to them, and his eyes hurt from the plain white filial piety clothes, so he had to turn away again.

The moment he looked away, he stopped at the jade pendant hanging from Lin Jialan's waist.

"Didn't the eldest uncle quit the Gu family?" Lin Jiaruo stared at her jade pendant and asked.

Lin Jialan's hand subconsciously grabbed the jade pendant, immediately let go again, stroked the non-existent folds on the hem of the clothes, and his voice seemed to be a little cramped: "No, my father promised me not to withdraw from my marriage for the time being." ”

She didn't say the reason, and Lin Jiaruo vaguely guessed that it wasn't that simple.

Lin Jingsheng's anger that day was not fake, and his determination to withdraw from his relatives could not be fake, that is, what Lin Jialan did forced him to back down.

These days, there are big things outside one after another, and Lin Jiaruo really doesn't have the extra energy to pay attention to these small things in the house.

It's just that this jade pendant, the gift of Wending given by Gu Zhan to her eldest sister, reminded her of another person.

She couldn't help but cover her aching heart, but she smiled unconsciously.

Lin Jialan looked at her and smiled as if mocking, as if mourning, and was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, but when she thought of Gu Zhan, she mustered up her courage again, and said with a straight face: "Ah Ruo, Gu Zhan is not that kind of person, he must have some kind of hardship-"

"Brother Yao is dead!" Lin Jiaruo interrupted her suddenly.

Lin Jialan looked at her with a confused expression, as if she didn't hear her words clearly.

Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and her voice could only be hoarse: "Big sister, Brother Yao is dead, died in the edict prison, and the people sent by the prince were killed!" ”

Lin Jialan was still stunned, as if she hadn't reacted.

"Ah Ruo, you, you mean Yao, Yao Shujing?" Lin Jiaquan asked in a trembling voice.

Lin Jiaruo nodded, took out the small cloth bag from her arms, and handed it to Lin Jialan, but twisted her head to the side, unwilling to look at the filial piety clothes on her body.

"This is a gift that Brother Yao has always wanted to give you, three years ago, I refused to help him transfer it, so he has always carried it with him......"

Carry it with you all the time.

When he admonished the Son of Heaven and abolished the prince at noon, this hairpin was on his chest;

When he was imprisoned and did not see the light of day, this hairpin was still on his chest;

When he was restrained and poisoned, this hairpin was also in his chest;

When he was bleeding and dying, the hairpin was still in his chest.

After Lin Jiaruo got it, he always carried it with him.

Three years ago, she rejected his request; Three years later, it will be up to her to fulfill this wish for him!
