Xiao Songyan, who was standing on the side, saw Xia Lian stretching out his hand to pull Lin Zhuyun's cloak, and immediately dodged in front of Lin Zhuyun, separating Xia Lian's outstretched hand.

He saluted respectfully and said, "It's all a small one who is not well served, and the horse is accidentally startled on the way, and the horse is out of the reins." It was really a great sin to hurt the young lady to walk half a mile, and the lady who hurt her worried all night. Please punish the villain severely! ”

He lowered his head and tilted his eyes slightly sideways, giving Lin Zhuyun a look.

Lin Zhuyun took half a step back, reached a safe distance from Xia Lian, yawned and said, "Daddy and Auntie, I've been walking for so long, I'm really tired, and I want to go back to my room to rest." ”

Father Lin saw that she was really sleepy, and said distressedly: "Go!" Go ahead! Take a hot shower, you'll go back to your room and rest. ”

Xia Lian watched Lin Zhuyun yawn and enter her courtyard, her heart was as restless as cooking oil, but if she obstructed the situation in front of her, it would seem that she really had a ghost in her heart.

She looked at Xiao Song in front of her in annoyance, and suddenly had a plan, twisted Xiao Song's ears and yelled, "You useless dog minion! Driving the carriage every day can still startle the horse, causing the young lady to suffer so much hard work, and almost hurting the affection between our sister-in-law, don't come and receive the punishment soon! ”

She twisted Komatsu's ears and pulled them into her yard, Komatsu let out a painful "hmm" and was dragged all the way into their yard.

She threw Xiao Song on the bluestone slab, raised her eyebrows high, and asked in a sharp tone: "You slave, if you really don't use it and cause the old lady to be frightened today, then I will beat you out, but ...... I don't think today's matter is as simple as the horse getting off the leash, if you tell me the truth, you can be exempted from this punishment, don't you say? ”

Xiao Song's ears were twisted red and swollen at the moment, and there seemed to be faint traces of blood on the earlobes, but he still knelt respectfully on the cold and stiff bluestone slab, hung his head and said affirmatively:

"What are the third ladies talking about? The little one has already told the truth, that is, the horse has taken off the leash, and we can only walk back to come back late, and there is nothing else. ”

Xia Lian saw that he was so hard-mouthed, he was so angry, he turned around twice in the middle of the yard and pointed at Xiao Song's head and was about to curse, when the third brother of the Lin family walked out of the house wearing a robe.

Xia Lian walked over and whispered a few words, the third brother of the Lin family's face instantly looked as ugly as if he had been fed and eaten, he blew his beard and rolled his eyes at Xia Lian, and walked to Xiao Song's side again.

"Get up, you are the son of our family, and I know you are a faithful man."

Komatsu was still on his knees, not daring to get up, nor did he speak.

The third brother of the Lin family continued: "However, for the sake of my little sister, I advise you to tell me the truth, if you hide it today, if someone else tells it in the future, your little sister's reputation will be completely ruined!" But you whispered to me that I dealt with that person in private, wouldn't there be no worries? I am a brother and sister with my little sister, and I will definitely protect her. ”

After he finished speaking, he patted his hand heavily on Xiao Song's back, Xiao Song raised his head, looked at the third brother of the Lin family in disbelief, his eyes vibrated for a moment, and he still said firmly: "But the fact is that the carriage is out of the leash, and there is nothing else." ”

The third brother of the Lin family was instantly annoyed, the anger on his face could not be concealed, and he waved his hand at the grandmother and said, "Throw it in the firewood room!" Let that guy beat him up first! ”

At this time, a clear female voice came from outside the courtyard gate: "Third brother, what are you going to do with my people?" ”

It was Lin Zhuyun, she had already changed into a dark green brocade narrow-sleeved long coat and crossed the threshold into the courtyard, and the narrow sleeves covered the bruises on her wrists tightly.

The third brother of the Lin family was a little unbearable on his face at the moment, pulled the robe that was about to slip off on his body, and said with a smile: "Hehe, little sister is here, we have prepared supper in the small kitchen, let's use some first." ”

Lin Zhuyun ignored what he said, walked straight to Xiao Song's side, bowed down to pull him up, and protected him behind him.

That Xia Lian saw that the two masters and servants were in deep love, and thought that the maids and maids in the room always helped Lin Zhuyun to be angry with herself, and instantly felt that the anger came up again, and she was sour like a sauerkraut chicken on the side:

"Yo! This person is also worthy of letting the master personally pull it up? And you won't punish you for making a mistake, little sister? Your Lin Mansion is so unruly? ”

Lin Zhuyun's fierce gaze shot straight at Xia Lian, stabbing Xia Lian's back with a chill, and he took half a step back.

"I will punish my own people for their mistakes, and I don't need you to overstep your responsibilities."

Xia Lian still didn't shut up, and continued: "We see that you are young, and we are afraid that these slaves will bully the master, so we want to discipline and discipline you for you. In the future, if you marry and become the housewife, you will lose the face of the Lin family if you can't control your subordinates. ”

Lin Zhuyun's face sank, and he snorted coldly in his nose: "I don't need to worry about the third sister-in-law, you still have to worry about your own family when you are free, I heard that your brother Xia Xiao Count married the daughter of a rich family as an aunt, and the whole city is saying that the Xia family lives by marrying people." ”

Xia Lian's face was pale, her mother's family had an empty earldom, but she had already lost money, she had a shop before and could use money to make up for it, and when her subsidy was gone, she began to think about these unacceptable means again, she suddenly felt ashamed and angry, and wanted to find a crack to get into.

Lin Zhuyun felt extremely disgusting at this moment when she looked at this poisonous woman again, the powerlessness when she was dragged out of the carriage by that disgusting person today, and the piercing pain when she was poured a basin of ice water in front of her door in the previous life hit her at the same time, she grabbed Xiaotang's hand tightly and turned around with a frown:

"Only by being content can we be happy, and I hope that the third brother and three sisters-in-law will not do all evil, and all good will go first. Xiaomei has said all that. ”

The third brother of the Lin family, Mu Ran, looked at the back of Lin Zhuyun leaving, and suddenly felt very strange, the former little sister would never protect her subordinates like this, and she would never say this, it was really like a different person, and he was a little afraid.

Following.

Xia Lian opened his eyes and shook the third brother of the Lin family who was asleep on the side: "Get up, get up, I still feel unwilling, I have to send my grandmother to see, why did the person who spent so much money to find miss it?" ”

The third brother of the Lin family suddenly remembered what Lin Zhuyun said, "Don't do all evil, all good go first", he turned his back and muttered: "Forget it, isn't it quite safe for us to live under the protection of Lin Ji, why bother tossing anymore!" ”

Xia Lian slapped him on the shoulder: "It's not promising, our family, it seems that we all have to rely on me to earn it!" ”

She got up and put on her clothes, went to the outhouse to greet Mama over, and talked for a long time, and the Mama nodded, and responded: "The slave maid will go and see for herself what the situation is." ”

Before Mama left, she said to Xia Lian: "Madam, the Lang Zhong you asked me to invite before has arrived, and he is in the main hall." Your body matters, leave those things to the slave maid. ”

Xia Lian waved her hand to indicate that she understood, and while entering the back room, she asked the little maid to change her clothes, and said to the third brother of the Lin family on the bed: "I haven't come this month, and I've been feeling sleepy recently, I'm afraid I'm happy." ”

As soon as the third brother of the Lin family heard this, he got up from the bed, and the joy in his eyes could not be concealed: "Really? ”

Xia Lian pulled the corners of his mouth, squinted his eyes and said, "Lang Zhong is in the main hall, if you go together, you will know the truth or falsehood." ”

"Good! Good! Let's go! The third brother of the Lin family couldn't even wait for someone to serve him and dress, so he put on his own clothes, and helped Xia Lian to the main hall with a smile.

There was already a Lang Zhong with a beard in the main hall waiting, and the third brother of the Lin family immediately stepped forward and stuffed a silver ingot into his hand with a smile: "Please also ask Mr. Lang Zhong to take a look at my wife's life."

Na Langzhong weighed the weight of silver, stroked the mustache, took out a brocade pillow, stretched out his hand and said, "Madame, please." ”

His three fingers pressed vigorously on Xia Lian's wrist through a layer of silk, and he felt a string of small bubbles skipping from his ring, middle and index fingers in turn, and the pulse beat vigorously and slippery like beads.

He raised his hands and said, "Congratulations to the third master and the third lady, it is indeed a joy!" ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces were full of red light, and they stuffed a silver ingot into Lang Zhong's hand.

He stuffed the silver into his sleeve and said: "However, the third lady's congenital conditions are weak, and this is the first child, so you must take care of it, don't be sad or surprised, otherwise if this baby can't be saved, it will be difficult later." I'll prescribe a few prescriptions first, you can eat them first, and then let me ask for a pulse on time. ”

"Yes, yes." Both nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice.

Seeing Lang Zhong away, Xia Lian saw that the situation was very good at the moment, and seized the opportunity to stroke his lower abdomen, which was not yet pregnant, and said softly to the third brother of the Lin family: "Husband, you have also seen it, which one does Lang Zhong buy tonic medicine without silver?" If we rely on our current monthly silver, our mother-in-law will not be able to live? ”

The third brother of the Lin family also put his hand on Xia Lian's stomach: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll go and tell my father that you are happy, he will definitely add us a monthly money, and maybe he will give us a few shops." ”

Xia Lian listened to it and his voice suddenly rose: "Husband, how can you always rely on the master, if you say that we will split up in the future, we only have those few small shops, what's the use?" I think we still have to find a way to cooperate with Yuhefang to monopolize the supply of jade raw materials in Lingcheng, so as to ensure that I can make a lot of money and guarantee it in the future. ”

The third brother of the Lin family, who listened to Lin Zhuyun's persuasion last night and wanted to be kind, was carried away by this sudden child at this moment, and hugged Xia Lian tightly: "Listen to you, listen to you." We will do what you say we will do. ”

Xia Lian furrowed her eyebrows slightly, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, she pretended to sigh and said:

"Alas! You also know that my mother's house is an empty shell of the Earl's Court, and I can't come up with any money to support us, so I have to earn it all on my own, but there is no hope for me to get back my little sister's shop as I planned before. Husband, my child and I can only rely on you now! ”

It was rare to see Xia Lian so weak and lovely, the third brother of the Lin family was moved in his heart, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said softly: "What do you want your husband to do, you can say it." ”

Xia Lian was overjoyed in his heart, and continued: "I am a woman's family, although I have gone to negotiate with the boss of the jade shop in the past, but he always looks ahead and backwards, afraid that I am a woman and my words don't count, so he asked me to put together the silver taels first." But if you go to see him in person, and he thinks he'll give you some thin noodles, it might be easier. ”

Yuhefang and Lin Ji have always been a little resentful, he didn't want to go in person, but now that his wife and children are begging him in a low voice, he suddenly feels that he is their savior, and his brain is hot.
