Chapter 40: Covert Investigation
Saying that, standing up, the third lady said: "I'll think about this matter first, and Ming'er will let you go." ”
"Okay, I'll take my leave."
Seeing the second lady leave, the third lady fell into deep thought, originally thinking that she could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but she didn't expect this.
Feng Chime said: "Madam, the second lady is here to mean that we want to guard against the eldest lady?" ”
The third lady sneered and said, "She's not that kind, she wants to make a temporary truce with us and join forces by the way." ”
Yan'er said, "Join forces with them? Is the second lady showing weakness to us? ”
The third lady said disdainfully: "She wants to drag us into the water and make us the target of Lin Qinghe's attack, so that she can free up her hands to deal with Lin Qinghe." ”
Yan'er said, "Then madam, did you agree?" ”
The third lady said: "I have to think about this matter, if we join forces, we have to show a little sincerity." ”
At night, just turned on the lamp, Lin Qinghe flipped through a book of poems under the lamp, read a few pages, and felt bored, so he said to Pearl: "Go to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of white fungus soup and make supper." ”
Pearl answered, and went, Lilac said: "Miss, just let me go for such a thing, why let Sister Pearl run?" ”
She likes to go to the kitchen the most, because there are a lot of delicious things, and after these days, the people in the kitchen are as respectful when they see her as they are when they see their ancestors, and they all take out delicious food and drink to honor her.
Lin Qinghe just said lightly: "You still embroider your flowers well." ”
Lilac looked at the silk handkerchief in her hand, and said with a smile: "Miss, I embroidered this silk handkerchief for you." ”
The corners of Lin Qinghe's lips twitched and said, "Thank you very much." ”
Lilac has this heart, but it's really not easy, but you can't blame her, she has a bad brain, no way.
Qiushui and Changtian called for washing water and put it on the table, Lin Qinghe told Lilac to go back to the room to rest, and Lilac left happily.
Changtian said: "Miss, in the afternoon, the second lady went to the courtyard of the third lady and sat in it for a cup of tea. ”
Lin Qinghe just listened lightly and did not answer.
Qiushui said: "Just now, the slave maid saw Yan'er in the courtyard of the third lady go to the courtyard of the second lady, and soon came out, presumably a message. ”
"Hmm."
Lin Qinghe responded, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and said: "It seems that the third lady is still in the hands of the second lady, hehe, I didn't intend to embarrass her too much, since she wants to rush in by herself, then she can't complain about me." ”
There was a small incense burner on the table, a little smaller than a teapot, but the workmanship was very exquisite, and a few wisps of green smoke floated out of it.
Lin Qinghe leaned his face to the side of the incense burner, closed his eyes slightly, and took a gentle breath, which was faint and refreshing.
This sandalwood was brought back from the monastery by the old lady, and she was rewarded with some of it, it was made of flower petals, it burned very slowly, the fragrance was not strong, and it was very elegant and pleasant.
Seeing that Lin Qinghe was silent, Changtian continued: "There is no movement on the fourth lady's side. ”
Lin Qinghe's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he said with a sneer: "They are all a raccoon dog, and it is only a matter of time before they join forces, just pay more attention to it." ”
"Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pearl walked in from the outside, carrying a warm box in his hand, which was used to keep warm, which was very delicate.
She put the warm box on the table and said with a smile: "Miss, when I went, the kitchen just made a bowl, so I brought it." ”
Lin Qinghe moved his body slightly, left the table, lay down on the couch, and said, "What a coincidence." ”
"The slave didn't ask much, but when she saw that there was, she brought it."
Lin Qinghe didn't say anything anymore, he lay on the couch and closed his eyes slightly, and Qiushui and Changtian also dispersed.
