Chapter 12: Cleaning up
Zhou Yan touched his nose in embarrassment, then coughed lightly, took the topic, and asked, "How is your injury?" Do you want the doctor of the Shizi Mansion to take a second look? ”
"The ointment I brought back from the Shizi Mansion last time is still in use, although the wound has not fully recovered, but there is a little less pain, this matter is not urgent, I don't bother the doctor in the house." Lin Xing politely refused.
She originally came to give gifts, and it stands to reason that she should leave after giving gifts, but Zhou Yan mentioned the progress of the investigation in the past few days differently from her, so Lin Xing took the initiative to ask.
"I heard Zhao Jie say that Guard Zhang has been investigating Feihong Courtyard recently, I don't know if there are any clues?"
Facing her expectant gaze, Zhou Yan slowly shook his head, "Not only is there no evidence, when Zhang Ping went to Feihong Courtyard, the items in Feihong Courtyard have been cleaned up, and even the tea cups for drinking tea have been replaced. ”
Feihong Courtyard has been cleaned up, even if Zhao Yi leaves evidence, I am afraid it has been destroyed.
Lin Xing lowered her head and thought for a moment, and said, "They are so afraid that someone will search Feihong Courtyard, I'm afraid it's because the evidence is hidden in it. I wonder where the sundries of Hi Hung Temple were lost? If you can find the debris, you may be able to find clues. ”
Thinking that Zhao Yi spent almost the last half of his life in the bed of Feihong Courtyard, Lin Xing was even more determined, the evidence must be there.
Zhou Yan looked at Zhao Jie and asked his opinion with his eyes, but Zhao Jie was now only looking at Lin Xing, since Lin Xing said that he was going to check Feihong Academy, he would not object.
"Then go to Feihong Courtyard, I will ask Zhang Ping to inquire about the whereabouts of the sundries, and I will tell you if there is any news." Zhou Yan said.
"I also asked Uncle Zhong to ask, Uncle Zhong is the old man of the Zhao family, I think he will know more." Lin Xing nodded and took the opportunity to answer.
"When are we leaving?" Zhao Jie stood up behind Lin Xing, took two steps forward, and was stared at by Lin Xing's eyes.
Lin Xing looked at him and slowly spoke, "I can take people to Feihong Courtyard with the prince, you can go back to the Zhao family's shop now, follow Zhongbo to learn business, and I will test you when I come back at night, don't want to be lazy." ”
"When was this decided, and how did I not know?" Zhao Jie was dumbfounded, not knowing when he was arranged for this.
"Your father was already angry with Uncle Zhong before his death, and today Uncle Zhong asked me when he sent a gift to the other hospital, and I agreed to come down for you on my own initiative." Lin Xing replied calmly.
"How can you say yes for me? You ......" Before Zhao Jie finished speaking, he remembered his words yesterday, so he could only sigh, hold back his anger, and said, "I'll go, you be careful of the Zhao family, I'll wait for you in the other courtyard." ”
After speaking, he stared at Lin Xing step by step with an abandoned look, and until he left the Shizi Mansion, he still hoped that Lin Xing would change his mind.
It's a pity that Lin Xing doesn't eat this set.
After Zhao Jie left, Zhou Yan leaned over to look at her, and he didn't bother to maintain the last disguise on his face, and asked with a smile: "Are you here to protect him from the Zhao family?" Why not be honest with him? ”
"Then why does the prince like to watch the excitement so much?" Lin Xing curled her lips and replied, "Are you worthy of your big brother Zhao?" ”
"I have a very close relationship with Brother Zhao, and he will forgive me." Zhou Yan's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and Lin Xing admired his thick skin when he saw it.
It is undeniable that Zhou Yan did save himself, and without him, he and Zhao Jie would not have moved out of the Zhao family so easily.
But Zhou Yan came to help Zhao Yi, and his own purpose was not clear, so Lin Xing had to guard against it.
Compared with before, the two of them held each other's shelves and wore masks to speak, Lin Xing preferred to face each other with their real faces like now.
Lin Xing still smiled brightly, "Presumably, the prince of the world is also here for the Bird Feather Seal Letter, right?" ”
"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." Zhou Yan stood up straight and handed her a complicated look, "I am not the only one in the world who wants the Bird Feather Seal Letter, except for me, the person on the golden chair, how do you know that he doesn't want to?" I just don't know how long you can protect Zhao Jie when you are alone. ”
"How could I be alone? Isn't there still a son? You promised Zhao Yi, if you regret it, Zhao Yi will take you away. Lin Xing's smile deepened, and her eyes were as delicate and lovely as a crescent moon.
But the smile was just a disguise.
Lin Xing knew very well that what Zhou Yan said was right, there were many people in the world who were eyeing Bird Ling Yinxin, and she was indeed inseparable from Zhou Yan now.
However, she can make a deal with Zhou Yan.
"The Finch's Seal is in my hand now, but I can't use it, it's a beautiful stone now. However, if the prince is willing, I have a way to let the prince use it. ”
Looking at Lin Xing, who smiled sweetly with slightly bared teeth, Zhou Yan's thick eyebrows were raised, and the interest in his tone was even stronger, "What way?" ”
"Turn Zhao Jie into your person." Lin Xing said bluntly, "As long as Zhao Jie is alive, no one can snatch the Bird Feather Seal Letter, but if Zhao Jie obeys the orders of the Prince, isn't this Bird Ling Seal Letter yours?" ”
"You're his stepmother." Zhou Yan reminded with a smile, not hiding the interest in his eyes at all.
Lin Xing said confidently, "So what? It's just a stepmother, not a mother, even if it's a mother and a girl, besides, if I hand him over to the son, it can be regarded as saving his life, and he should thank me. ”
Zhou Yan's gaze at him became more and more bold, and her deep eyes only reflected her alone, with a bit of exploration and investigation.
He had heard Zhao Yi mention this newly married girl in the letter, how did Zhao Yi describe it?
"He is very beautiful, but he is really weak."
But right now, this weak and beautiful little lady is actually trading with him with the Bird Feather Seal Letter, if Zhao Yi knows, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back to life.
An evil smile flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes.
His gaze fell on Lin Xing's face again, and the exploration and investigation turned into a strong interest, and asked: "The method you said is not bad, but I have a more direct method, which can protect you and him, I wonder if my sister-in-law is interested in hearing it?" ”
"Please teach the Son." Lin Xing raised her eyebrows like willow leaves, and her eyes became more and more smart, as if she wanted to disturb the deep pool.
Facing these eyes, Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You take Zhao Jie to remarry this prince, you are the wife of the prince, he is the son of the prince, so no one dares to fight his idea, how about it?" ”
He looked at Lin Xing expectantly, wondering what kind of reaction she would have next.
Is it panicking, or is it scolding? Or is it sarcastic?
However, Zhou Yan was disappointed.
Lin Xingwan smiled, and asked sincerely: "Dare to ask when the prince will come to the door to propose?" I'll discuss it with Zhao Jie, so as not to lose the courtesy. ”
This answer surprised Zhou Yan, but it inexplicably excited him.
After watching the excitement for so many years, it is the first time that he has been countered by an army!
…… No, the second time.
Last time, it was at the gate of the Shizi Mansion!
