Everyone in the hall thought that Lin Chu's waist would be afraid, but now it is different from the past.

Lin Chu wore a double-layer jacket on her waist, her immature little face was a little red from the cold, not only did she not kneel, but her face did not have half a point of fear, she turned her head to look at Lin Wei, her eyes were a little cold: "Wild man? The words of the third sister are really dirty, and I don't know if my sister is still young and doesn't know the severity, or is it because my sister is filthy in her heart that her words are also vicious? ”

"You... What do you mean! ”

Lin Wei has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, where was she said that, and when she was a little excited, she was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Lin Chuyun glanced at her with great contempt, turned to Zhang's and said, "Grandmother, granddaughter has never done anything wrong, and she will not kneel." ”

Lin Liu, who was sitting at the head of the Zhang family, didn't wait for the Zhang family to speak, she said, "Big sister, how dare you talk back to your grandmother?" It's good to make a mistake and be soft, is it necessary to have a hard time with your grandmother? ”

"Why give in if you don't make a mistake? Didn't the second sister still want to put a torture device on me, and beat me into a trick? ”

Cui's face was not good: "Big girl, it's not your second sister and third sister talking nonsense, Ah Nian saw you get off the man's carriage with her own eyes, how do you explain?" ”

Lin Chuyin knew that today was not a good battle, and she remembered the conversation between the coachman and Zhao Liang and his party that snowy night, and she had an idea in her heart.

"Ah Nian, do you remember what was embroidered on that carriage?"

Hearing this, Ah Nian touched his head and was stunned for a long time before saying, "It seems... It seems to be a dragon! ”

"Tuanlong?"

Cui's face turned pale instantly.

She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she naturally knows the palace rules well.

Since ancient times, such a dragon pattern can only be embroidered on the clothing of the royal family, and if ordinary people use it, they are guilty of it, which is a big crime of cutting off the head.

Could it be that Lin Chujiao has hooked up with which prince?

Cui was a little suspicious. This is also inaccurate, after all, now that the battle for succession is intensifying, Lin Weiliang holds most of the military power of Shu in his hands, so I wonder which prince Dafang has formed an alliance with, and who did he secretly marry Lin Chu's waist to?

Now that the five kings are seizing the heirs, no one's power can be underestimated, Lin Zheng is not familiar with officialdom, and the three rooms are already in danger, if he offends any prince because of this, this is really more than worth the loss.

Cui Shi immediately changed his words and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, when you came to tell me about Chu Waist today, I had doubts, now that I think about it, you must have misunderstood, Chu Waist is a good boy, where will you have an affair with a foreign man?" ”

These words immediately pushed all the spearheads on the Wang family.

There were not so many twists and turns in Wang's heart, she didn't expect this layer at all, she secretly scolded Cui Shi in her heart for being a wall grass, and continued: "If you really don't have a ghost in your heart, why do you hide it and don't tell who that wild man is?" ”

At this moment, a male voice outside the door said, "It's me!" ”

*

The year I first met Xie Xiao, Lin Chuwaist was ten years old.

That time, she begged Du Ming to take her to climb the wall of Xie Mansion, supporting the blue bricks and black tiles, as soon as she came out, she was startled by the sound of a thunderbolt and retracted, but fortunately, Du Ming quickly pulled her back, so she died before she could get out of the school.

Du Ming straightened her, she looked inside, and saw a thick-shouldered and round-waisted grandmother pulling out a fist-thick whip and throwing it on a boy's back, and the crackling sound was the whip.

The mother was very fierce, pulling the boy's clothes and shouting at the top of her voice.

"Little bunny! Did you steal it? ”

Despite being beaten, the man still didn't let go, "I didn't steal!" ”

Mama shook him a few more whips, "You still don't admit to stealing Mrs.'s things?" The master has already spoken, and today I want you to have a long memory! See if you dare next time! ”

Just as Lin Chu was thinking that the boy was about to be killed, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid came running from a distance and whispered something in her mother's ear. The grandmother's face changed, and she immediately changed her face and made a bitter gesture, "Gongzi Xie, why don't you say that you didn't steal it?" Don't blame the old slave for wronging you, but the South China Sea pearl that the master gave to his wife, I am also anxious to wronged you! ”

After saying this, she angrily led the servants and girls away.

Lin Chuyun understood, the person who stole the things was found, and this grandmother was so arrogant when she hit someone by mistake. She shook her head and couldn't help but ask Chu Wei, "What is a South China Sea pearl?" ”

Before she could get an answer, the boy below suddenly looked up, as if looking at something strange, and stared at her intently.

Lin Chu messed up his hair when he climbed the wall with his waist, and his small face was round, like a flattened steamed bun, and his appearance was very funny. She and Xie Xiao stared at each other with wide eyes, and their jaws were about to fall in shock.

It's his earth-shattering beauty.

He was born extremely beautiful, and his eyebrows were as beautiful as if he had come out of a book, but he should have been no more than eleven or twelve years old, and his face was still childish. His face was as white as snow, and he was staring at her with a pair of reddened eyes, and he looked at her with a look of great hatred.

Lin Chu's waist was bluffed.

She felt that he was really like a dormant wolf cub, because Lin Weiliang once said that only the eyes of a wolf would be this kind of horror that would tear people apart and eat them.

I don't know why, she has a hunch that if one day, this young wolf gives birth to sharp claws, and she will definitely find the right time to kill the enemy with one move.

Not only Lin Chuyi, but Du Ming, who has always been bold and brave, was frightened.

When she came back to her senses, she felt so strange that she couldn't help yelling at him, "Why are you looking at me like this? I didn't beat you with a whip. ”

The man below didn't want to talk to her, so he staggered to his feet and limped to the side.

Who doesn't offer her like an ancestor? Lin Chu's waist hated him, it was really rude.

So he stuck to him like a dog's skin plaster, "Stop! Why don't you ignore me? ”

Xu felt that she was too annoying, Xie Xiao finally turned around, he fixed there, did not hide the disgust in his eyes, he said word by word: "The pearl of the South China Sea is your mother's beloved thing, I will destroy it." Zeng Li, this poisonous woman, I will definitely kill her! ”

Does this man know her mother?

The expression on Lin Chu's waist suddenly turned into shock, and she retorted without thinking about it: "You are talking nonsense! ”

The refutation is the poisonous woman. How could the mother she wanted to see be a poisonous woman? This kid must have lied, or maybe he made a big mistake, and his mother had to teach him this way!

Xie Xiao glared at her angrily and never said a word to her again.

*

A long, long time later, Lin Chujiao learned from Du Ming that the boy who was beaten that year was Xie Xiao, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and at that time, her mother Zeng Li's vicious reputation had spread throughout Shangjing.

There is not a single child in the world who wants his mother to be called vicious, but when the facts are put in front of her, an "outsider" who has never even met her mother, any justification seems to pale in comparison.

For Xie Xiao, she also deliberately stayed away because of some strange guilt, to be precise, it should be fear.

She didn't believe that a mortal enemy who threatened to kill her mother would have mercy on her.

But now, Xie Xiao said lightly: "Miss Lin was rescued by Xie Mou, I don't know what rumors the ladies heard, I might as well tell the truth from the false?" ”

He was dressed in a royal blue dark purple pattern flower brocade robe, and stood in the middle of the hall, and suddenly exuded a heroic aura, the kind of slaughter that would never survive without experiencing hundreds of battles. He arched his hand slightly, his expression was arrogant, and he couldn't see any respect.

Also entering the house with him were Lin Weiliang and Lin Gui, Lin Weiliang's expression was as usual, Lin Gui's face was slightly angry, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the Wang family.

Looking at the uninvited guests who appeared in the hall, Zhang frowned, a little displeased, "This son looks familiar, I don't know which one?" ”

She has inconvenient legs and feet, rarely goes out of the house, and she can't recognize these juniors. But Cui's Wang was very impressed by this person.

Who is this man?

Five years ago, the news that the Xie family had a bad son spread in Shangjing. The Xie family is a hairpin family, but the only son is obsessed with the wind and dust, swaggering through the market, and does not want to forge ahead, General Xie couldn't bear it anymore, and finally expelled him from the ancestral hall.

This once became the after-dinner conversation of the nobles in Beijing, and the Wang family even took this matter as a negative example and beat Lin Ziheng hard.

Later, Xie Fu fell, Xie Xiao was assigned to the border pass, Wang Ruoyi thought that he was wasted, and estimated that he would die in such a bitter cold place, to her surprise, Lin Gui mentioned this person again a few days ago, and never thought that he hadn't seen him for two years, Xie Xiao turned into a general who returned to the dynasty victoriously!

I heard that he defeated the Yi people in one fell swoop and made a military achievement, and now he is already a red man in front of the emperor!

Lin Weiliang said: "Mother, this is the little son of the Xie family in the past, and now he has become a general." ”

Although there is a Zeng Li between the Xie Mansion and the Lin Mansion, Lin Weiliang and Xie Zhi are both officials in the imperial court, and there is no big gap.

Cui's eyes sank, now the situation between the DPRK and China is unclear, the battle for the heir is about to break out, Xie Xiao holds the military power, I don't know which prince's team has been standing, anyway, she can't afford to provoke, she has a smile on her face, and said to her mother-in-law as if flattering: "Mother, have you forgotten?" More than ten years ago, General Xie was still young, you praised him for being smart and clever, and he must have a great future in the future! No, you're right! A month ago, General Xie's good news had spread all over the streets and alleys of Shangjing! ”

How many years have passed, and Zhang himself has forgotten whether this is really the case, but when she heard the last sentence, she took over without hesitation: "I naturally remember, if it is really a tiger father without a dog, General Xie Xiao is young and has a promising future!" ”

The two are quite good at being people, and tacitly skipped the fact that Prime Minister Xie Zhi collaborated with the enemy and was beheaded by the whole family.

Xie Xiao chuckled lightly, and said meaninglessly: "The old lady praised it falsely, Xie Mou is not a young man who is a shallow learner." My father Xie Zhi is a sinner in Shu, and he is not worthy of being put on the table. ”

Zhang's smile froze, and even though she didn't know how to answer, the atmosphere in the room was delicate for a while.

Lin Weiliang hurriedly played a round and said: "Chu Yuan, come here, last time Lishan was in distress, it was General Xie who saved you, why didn't you thank General Xie?" ”

He was embarrassed to be Lin Chuxiao's daughter's family, but he didn't know that Lin Chuyin deliberately didn't want to have anything to do with Xie Xiao.

She knew what kind of person Xie Xiao was.

A person who can survive the bloody battlefield battle, a person who can stand alone in the turbulent court, where can he be a simple person? In the previous life, Lin Chujiao had already seen his indifference and viciousness, and in this life, if he was involved in him and touched his reverse scales, he would definitely end up with no bones.

Lin Weiliang was staring at her, Lin Chu took a step forward with his waist stiff, stood seven or eight inches away from Xie Xiao, and saluted without humility or arrogance, "General Xie, thank you for coming to the rescue." ”

She didn't dare to look up, only to hear the man's words with a smile, "Miss Lin is polite." ”

In a trance, Lin Chuyun felt that he still had a sentence, "One day, I will kill you." ”

Since her rebirth, she has sometimes been haunted by nightmares, dreaming that she is in a mass grave and finally starving to death.

She was afraid of Xie Xiao, and she didn't know why he saved her twice, but her keen instincts told her that Xie Xiao must have her own purpose.

Xie Xiao said again: "Miss Lin, last time I said goodbye to Lishan, you mistakenly wore one of my clothes, which was a gift from the emperor, I don't know when Miss Lin plans to return it?" ”

Lin Chu's waist twitched, and he suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Wearing it wrong?

Wang Ruoyi raised his cup and took a sip of tea, and said with a meaningful smile: "General Xie is really very good to us, and he lent out all the things given by the emperor. ”

She was quite strange in her heart, when she didn't know that Xie Xiao and Lin Chu had a deep relationship? Zeng Yi and his stepson are like fire and water, how could Xie Xiao save Lin Chu's waist now?

Or is there some ulterior secret between these two people?
