When Lin Xiao was a child, the Cao family wanted Lin Mao to give up this eldest son, so they resorted to killing.

She pretended to be loving, and everyone before and after her was obedient to Lin Xiao, which made the young Lin Xiao mistakenly think that she was a virtuous mother, and even relied on her very much.

Later, the Cao family secretly detained Lin Xiao on some charges such as stealing, being lazy, lying, and mistreating subordinates.

At first, Lin Mao did not have any suspicions about the Cao family, and Lin Xiao was too small to distinguish between them, and he was often punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Later, Lin Xiao gradually felt that his father didn't love him, so he changed his ways to toss and want to attract attention.

What goes up to the tree to dig out bird eggs and goes down to the river to catch shrimp is pediatric for Lin Xiao, he is specifically targeting Lin Mao and wants to attract Lin Mao's attention.

In those years, Lin Mao either drank tea and drank caterpillars, or slept with dead snakes, or his beard was burned by candles......

Lin Mao is a violent temper, and when he is provoked, he beats people, and Lin Xiao almost grew up being beaten.

Later, Lin Xiao became friends with the prince of Qi and others, and often went out to cause trouble.

Several demon kings of the mixed world bombed the mansions of corrupt officials with cannonballs, stabbed hornet's nests and stung arrogant envoys, and once set fire to bandits' dens......

Lin Mao beat his son until he was soft.

Later, when Lin Xiao grew up, he worshipped Mingyuan as his teacher, learned some techniques of vertical and horizontal containment, and entered the military camp, and suddenly figured out a lot of things, including Cao's means of killing.

Half a year later, Lin Xiao returned to Beijing to wake up and his temperament changed greatly.

It was also at this time that Lin Xiao discovered that his biological mother's dowry was coveted by the Cao family, and most of it had been taken away by the Cao family in various names.

Lin Xiao naturally couldn't bear this matter and stabbed Lin Mao.

Only then did Lin Mao know that the person next to the pillow was not a reliable person, and he couldn't entrust everything to the backyard like he did when he treated the eldest grandson and princess, so he recalled Steward Feng.

Steward Feng is the pawn of King Lao Ding, and he once gave up an arm to save King Lao Ding.

Because of his disability, Steward Feng went home and raised him for many years, and this time he was recalled by Lin Mao, and Steward Feng directly brought his daughter-in-law and children to the capital and became the housekeeper in the backyard of the palace.

With Steward Feng watching, the Cao family didn't dare to be too harsh and leave Lin Xiao, plus Lin Xiao spent most of his time in the barracks, which could be regarded as comfortable for a few years.

It wasn't until last year that Lin Xiao found out that he had been poisoned, and took Lu Shan Muchen to Liu Yishou to buy the antidote, and met Yang Mu.

Yang Mu also knew everything after that.

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and saw Yang Mu holding his head with his hands, listening to the story carefully, blinking his eyes from time to time, full of interest.

He smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and scratched Yang Mu's nose, and said, "What?" Fascinated by listening? ”

Yang Mu nodded and said, "I heard that a child without a mother is like a grass, but I didn't expect that a stepmother is even more pitiful." ”

Lin Xiao smiled: "I'm not bad, at least my father is still sensible and took precautions against her in time." If I had changed my ears and had soft roots, I was afraid that I would not have survived now. ”

Yang Mu nodded and said, "Although the prince has a violent temper, he can see it clearly. ”

Lin Xiao corrected: "You have to call your father." ”

Yang Mu stuck out his tongue and didn't answer.

Mrs. Bao came in with a curtain, and when she saw that the two were not outside, she asked, "Where are the princes and princesses?" Didn't you say it back? ”

Daishan came out of the side room, his face turned red, and he lowered his voice and said, "Talking in the room." ”

The corners of Mrs. Bao's mouth twitched, in the middle of the day?

Daishan whispered about the futon, and Mrs. Bao asked, "Is it badly injured?" ”

Daishan covered her mouth and snickered, and said in a low voice: "It didn't hurt, the princess pretended." ”

Mrs. Bao smiled and said, "When the word goes, the princess is angry and wants to go back to the door early." ”

Daishan smiled evilly: "Then the prince is afraid that he is in a hurry to come and visit in person." ”

Mrs. Bao said: "I see that there are few diligent people assigned by the palace to Chengqi Academy. You take the time to tell them to do things, and make sure that the prince sees you arguing. ”

Daishan nodded, indicating understanding.

……

Mingyuan only came to Lin Mao to report at noon.

Lin Mao looked at Ming Yuan with a gloomy face and asked, "Mr. Ming is missing again!" ”

This Mingyuan has a good brain, a good memory, a good mouth, and everything, but he likes to play missing.

When I used him, I was always nowhere to be seen.

Mingyuan is only in his forties this year, with white skin and a slender figure, at first glance he is a reader who does his duty, but with one mouth, it is not a taste.

He sat down in Lin Mao, gritted his teeth, and said: "It's not that it's not that the lower officials are missing, it's really a matter of love, and I can't help myself!" ”

The corners of Lin Mao's mouth twitched, indicating that he was a rough man and didn't understand.

Mingyuan didn't explain, and asked with a smile: "The prince is looking for an official, but is it to fight for the new daughter-in-law?" ”

The corners of Lin Mao's mouth twitched, why did this sound so awkward?

He grimaced and said, "You speak seriously." ”

Mingyuan immediately put away the hippie smile on his face, and asked seriously: "The prince is looking for an official, but is it to give the princess a grievance?" ”

Lin Mao frustrated his teeth, and he still felt awkward.

However, he didn't want to care about what was awkward, so he told him about the futon, and then said, "Mr. Ming, can this matter be investigated?" ”

Mingyuan paused for a moment to drink tea, and said, "I'm afraid that this matter will involve the inner courtyard, and the prince wants to let the chief historian come to investigate?" ”

The chief historian is a minister of the palace, but he can't be involved in the backyard. The things in the backyard should be done by Steward Feng.

Lin Mao sighed and said, "Steward Feng is a big man, he doesn't understand the twists and turns of the backyard!" ”

If he understood, his eldest son would not always be inexplicably calculated!

Mingyuan spit out the tea leaves in his mouth back into the teacup, his face sank, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm also a big man!" ”

Lin Mao waved his hand and said, "You don't count!" ”

Mingyuan: "......"

Listen to me and thank you......

Lin Mao blinked, looked at Ming Yuan, and asked, "Mr. Ming hasn't said yet, can you find out!" ”

Mingyuan: "......"

took a deep breath, spit it out, and secretly warned himself that the person in front of him was a second-grade master, and he was a prince, and he couldn't do it himself.

"The matter of the inner house, it is not good for the lower officials to investigate it personally, so the prince will send a few secret guards."

Lin Mao nodded, felt that it made sense, and immediately raised his voice to call someone.

"Black python!"

A man in black flew from the roof and bowed, "My subordinates are here!" ”

Lin Mao nodded at Mingyuan, who was sitting on the side and was taken aback, and said, "Arrange a few people for him." ”

The middle-aged man named Black Python answered "yes", and then asked, "Is it a female secret guard?" ”

Lin Mao glared, "Nonsense! ”

The black python didn't dare to speak anymore, and disappeared again, and after a while, three female black-clothed people fell from the sky again, and Mingyuan's little heart couldn't stand it.

When Lin Mao saw that someone was coming, he waved his hand impatiently and drove Mingyuan away.

Mingyuan looked depressed, took the three female secret guards out of the study, and ordered things in the courtyard.

This Dingwang Mansion, I'm afraid that the safest thing is the courtyard of this study.

After he finished ordering, the three female secret guards had just disappeared when he saw Lin Xiao coming in from the courtyard gate.

Mingyuan's eyes lit up and beckoned to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao walked over quickly, and just as he was about to make a disciple salute, Mingyuan pulled him to the side and said in a low voice: "I see that your father is very protective of your daughter-in-law!" ”

Lin Xiao's face darkened.

Mingyuan said: "That's not what I mean. I mean, he seems to care more about you in recent years? They have begun to meddle in the affairs of the inner courtyard. ”

If he didn't care about Lin Xiao, he wouldn't be so in charge of his newly married daughter-in-law.

Lin Mao is a rough man, and he doesn't understand the twists and turns of the backyard at all, so he has never interfered.

I don't know when it started, Lin Mao seems to have begun to meddle in the inner courtyard, especially in the past two days, there are too many cares, this is not Lin Mao's style.
