"You don't spread rumors here, it's impossible, my brother Ying has a problem with his brain, he can't listen to nine out of ten sentences of what he said, you take a fool's words seriously, it's obviously deliberately tarnishing the reputation of my Dingyuan Marquis Mansion!" The Yuan family decided that Lin Shuran's words were deliberately slandering the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but Lin Shuran clearly saw a trace of emptiness on her face.

Yuan must know a thing or two about what happened to her eldest son Wei Ying in the Hou Mansion over the years, but she chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, either she also dislikes her stupid son very much, or the person who bullied Wei Ying is the person she doesn't want to punish and doesn't want to punish, if it is the second type, then the person who bullied Wei Ying is likely to be his closest relatives.

Maybe it was in line with the purpose that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so at this moment she tried her best to deny everything that Wei Ying had experienced and said before, but such a mother made Lin Shuran feel cold, from Yuan's words, from the sentence "fool", she could feel that Yuan's bones may not look down on her stupid son.

"What is true and what is false, I think Madam, you know better in your heart than me, an outsider, although Master Wei is like a child, he is also a person with feelings and feelings, who is good to him and who is not good to him, he can also tell the difference. As for what happened today, let's listen to what the people from the Criminal Department have to say later! Lin Shuran didn't want to entangle with the Yuan family, although she had only seen Wei Ying in a hurry, but from Chen Jiayu and Xu Minghao's words and actions, it could be seen that Wei Ying was very friendly and close to them, and he should have felt that the two of them had no ill will towards him, but were very good to him, so he was also different to them.

Yuan also snorted coldly, if the people of the capital knew that her son climbed the dog cave every day, wouldn't the face of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion be lost, and the children of the Xu family would be blamed for this, she would not be so easy to forget about this kind of humiliation.

It didn't take long for Xiao Chen to personally lead Xu Minghao and Wei Ying into the back hall, and as soon as Xu Minghao saw Lin Shuran's figure, he happily greeted him and shouted loudly: "Mother! ”

Wei Ying also saw Yuan, but his eyes dodged, although Yuan didn't glare at him fiercely as soon as he saw him like in the mansion, but he could also feel that Yuan's was angry now, so he didn't dare to move forward, but slowly wanted to move towards Xu Minghao and Lin Shuran.

"Brother Ying'er, come here, how are you?" Yuan pretended to approach Wei Ying with a distressed face, and took the opportunity to pull him to his side, while looking at Xiao Chen angrily and said, "Lord Xiao, when in the future, you can go directly to my family's Hou Ye, my family's brother Ying doesn't understand anything, you will frighten him, this child will talk nonsense as soon as he is frightened, if something happens, you will be responsible." ”

Xiao Chen first glanced at Lin Shuran, and found that all her attention was on Xu Minghao beside her, so he looked at Yuan Shi with a serious face and said: "Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, this official is also responsible for it, the eldest prince of Wei and the seventh young master of the Xu family are related to a case that this official is investigating, they provided very important clues, and now that they are fine, you can take them all back." ”

"Thank you, Lord Xiao!" Lin Shuran didn't ask much, Xu Minghao didn't feel wronged in the Criminal Department, as for how far Xiao Chen's case has been investigated, even if she asks Xiao Chen, she won't say.

However, Yuan didn't care about this, she directly asked Xiao Chen: "What case is your criminal department investigating?" How can I involve my brother Ying, Lord Xiao still give me an explanation, otherwise my son was brought into the yamen of the Criminal Department by you for no reason, and those who don't know still think that we have committed something in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion! ”

"Madame, I'm really sorry, the case hasn't been clarified yet, so I can't say more!" Xiao Chen's attitude is very cold and hard, and he will not flatter her just because Yuan is the queen's mother, and he will not say a word when he shouldn't say anything.

"Hmph, since Lord Xiao doesn't want to say more, then let my lord ask him!" Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't take her in his eyes, Yuan Shi was even more annoyed in his heart, glared coldly, and then glanced angrily in Lin Shuran's direction, urging Wei Ying to leave together.

Wei Ying obviously didn't want to follow Yuan, but he also knew that he couldn't resist, so he just secretly waved his hand to Xu Minghao, and he didn't know if he could meet Xu Minghao again from now on.

"Mother, he looks a little pitiful!" Seeing Wei Ying leave behind Yuan, Xu Minghao whispered to Lin Shuran.

Wei Ying was born to the Yuan family, but it didn't seem to be as close as the mother-son relationship between him and Lin Shuran, so Xu Minghao felt that Wei Ying was particularly pitiful.

"Alright, it's time for us to go!" It is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, in Lin Shuran's opinion, there are all kinds of mothers and sons in this world, even if Wei Ying is really pitiful, they outsiders can do limited, I just hope that he can live a better life in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Xiao Chen saw that Lin Shuran was about to leave with Xu Minghao, so he stepped forward and said, "I heard that Pei Shao, the former big boss of Xijieye Market, was recuperating from his injuries in the Zhuangzi of the General's Mansion?" ”

Lin Shuran nodded, and listened to Xiao Chen say to her: "I have something to ask him, and I hope that the General's Mansion will be convenient when the time comes." ”

"Pei Shao is just temporarily staying in Chengnan Grange to recuperate, since it is a business matter, Brother Xiao can go at any time!" Lin Shuran will not hinder Xiao Chen's investigation of the case, on the contrary, if necessary, she will also help him in the dark.

Xiao Chen's face softened at this time, after he and Lin Shuran were separated in the palace that day, he got drunk when he returned to his residence, and at the same time thought a lot, for so many years, whether it was before or now, Lin Shuran never seemed to have him in his eyes, he was alone in his own amorousness, but even if he recognized the reality, he wanted him to completely let go of the feelings for Lin Shuran in his heart for a while, he felt that he couldn't do it now, what he could do was to learn to control and control himself to put his identity in the position of "friend" that Lin Shuran wanted. Perhaps this will not become more and more alienated and strange.

On the way back to the house, Lin Shuran asked Xu Minghao what questions Xiao Chen asked them when he was in the Criminal Department, and Xu Minghao told her that Xiao Chen wanted to know the origin of the golden ball, so Wei Ying rushed to say that the golden ball was given to him, and in order for Wei Ying to be fed and clothed, he took the golden ball to the money bank to exchange for silver tickets and scattered silver.

As for how Wei Ying knew about the Liang Ji coffin shop, he said that he didn't know very clearly, only that he followed his "brother" Wei Xiong out of the house, got into the carriage of King Ling by mistake, and then was taken to the Liang Ji coffin shop, and accidentally found that someone dug out the black pimple from the well in the backyard of the coffin shop, and smashed the black pimple to reveal a small gold ball.

"Mother, don't look stupid, stupid, he can protect me in the criminal department today, in fact, I don't think he's stupid at all, you say, will he be deliberately pretending to be stupid?" Xu Minghao remembered Wei Ying's appearance in the Criminal Department for fear that he would be hurt, and he was still very moved, and at the same time, he also felt that Wei Ying didn't seem to be as stupid as everyone imagined, as if he understood everything.
