After leaving the palace, Ge Jingyi sent someone to send Lin Wan back to his home.

Her family also has a two-entry courtyard in the capital, which was left by her father before his death, and it is also the most valuable thing in the Lin family at present.

Mrs. Lin had already received the news in advance, and stood at the door with her maidservant to look, seeing that her once innocent daughter was now full of vicissitudes of life, and there was no longer the previous delicate and smart, her tears suddenly welled up, and she stepped forward and grabbed Lin Wan's hand: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

Looking at the white hair on her mother's sideburns, Lin Wan's heart was sour and astringent: "Mother, I'm sorry, it's my daughter who is unfilial." ”

Mrs. Lin held her hand tightly: "It's all over, my son is suffering." I don't blame you, my mother didn't see through the sinister intentions of that little slut, and she was worried about my son. ”

If it weren't for the fact that the Criminal Department sent someone to explain the case today, she would still be kept in the dark.

Chunbi used to be so good.

After Lin Wan was disobedient and eloped with Zhu Xingye, she was so angry that she couldn't afford to get sick, her son was small, and the family was in a mess.

Therefore, after Mrs. Lin recovered from her illness, she was grateful for Chunbi's affection, so she was accepted as a goddaughter in addition to her slave status, and also wrote to the Zhengyuan General's Mansion to discuss the marriage between the two families in the early years, and bought her a decent dowry.

But who would have thought that it was all in Chunbi's plan. Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin regretted that she didn't know people clearly, was deceived by others, and harmed her daughter for the rest of her life.

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried for a while and went home to sit down, and Lin Wan told Mrs. Lin everything that happened today.

Mrs. Lin wiped her tears and was grateful: "Emperor Xie Longen, Lord Xie Ge is the master of my son." The past is gone, and in the future, the three of us mother and son will live together in peace. ”

Lin Wan nodded, after this catastrophe, she has grown a lot, held Mrs. Lin's hand and said, "Mother is at ease, she will have a daughter in the future." My daughter has thought about it, now we have no income in our family, and we have to provide for my brother to study, so I can't sit and eat empty, so it is better to dismiss the slaves in the family, leave only two old servants, and move to the house given to me by the emperor together. ”

"As for this yard, it is rented out to subsidize the family, saving enough for our daily use. Looking back, my daughter will find another way to make a living and save some money, and there will be one more way, if my brother has a career in the future, it would be the best, and if she can't have money in her hand, she can also find some other ways to make a living. ”

The capital is not easy to live in, and the location of their courtyard is okay, and if they rent it out, they can have a rent of more than ten yuan a month.

Mrs. Lin was both relieved and sad: "My son has grown up and is sensible, my mother listens to you." As long as our family is together and safe, my mother will be content. ”

Halfway through the mother's and daughter's talk, the housekeeper came to report that someone from the Zhengyuan General's Mansion had come.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly wiped away her tears and took her daughter out to meet guests.

The one who came from the Zhengyuan General's Mansion was a steward, and there were more than a dozen familiar boxes behind him.

The steward arched his hand and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lin, this is the dowry purchased by your mansion at the beginning of the year, and the dowry list is here, please take a look." ”

This is to return Chunbi's dowry.

The Lin family has been defeated, even if Chunbi was treated as her own daughter at the beginning, Mrs. Lin only scraped together a few hundred taels of silver to get her a dowry, and most of them were worthless things. How could General Zhengyuan's Mansion be greedy for her family's little thing.

She took the order: "No, it's right. Today's events are all due to my soft-heartedness, which has affected the General's Mansion, and I am really ashamed in my heart, so I will come to the door another day to apologize. ”

The steward shook his head: "Madam, don't say that, you are also kind-hearted and deceived by traitors, this matter is over, so let's stop." The five hundred taels of silver were transferred to Mrs. by my wife to the villain, although the two families have no two surnames, but my general and Mrs. Lin have always respected the character of Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin, this bit of silver should be compensated for the girl, please Mrs. Don't dislike it. ”

What is there for her to dislike?

Their family is a victim of this matter, isn't it the Fan family? If she hadn't believed her and was willing to abide by the original marriage contract between the two families, how could the Fan family agree to marry a righteous daughter like Chunbi, who was born as a servant.

The Fan family's move, firstly, sympathized with their orphans and widows, and secondly, it also showed that they would not continue the marriage contract.

In fact, the Fan family didn't mention it, and their family didn't have the face to propose to continue to marry Lin Wan.

Mrs. Lin hid her face and wept: "I accepted the silver, thank you for me, madam." ”

The steward said two polite words and took his leave.

After the others left, Mrs. Lin was very sorry: "The Fan family is a good person. ”

Lin Wan now also realizes that she has indeed missed a good marriage, and the performance of the Fan family today is not that of Zhu Xingye, who is unkind and unkind.

"It's my daughter Fubo, who didn't listen to my mother. But to be able to return to her mother, the daughter is already very content. ”

Mrs. Lin was afraid that her daughter would be sad, so she patted her hand: "It's all over." ”

Lin Wan nodded, changed the topic, and talked about her plan: "Well, mother, my daughter wants to open a restaurant and sell ......"

***

Tang Shi knew the follow-up of the Lin family, and he was very emotional, these two families were good people, but they were so stirred up by the traitors that they broke up their good fate.

However, after this incident, Lin Wan grew up, learned to plan for herself and her family, and thought of a way out to make a living, which is also very good.

Seeing that the time was not early, Tang Shi stopped gossiping and prepared to turn off the lights and go to bed.

Just as soon as he lay down, he heard Guagua's excited voice.

[Host, Concubine An went to deliver supper to the emperor. 】

Tang Shi was speechless: [After staying in Chengqian Palace all day today, isn't she tired? I can also make a supper when I go back, and send it over at night, it's too hard. 】

Guagua: [Do you want to watch the live broadcast?] 】

Speaking of this Tang poem, I won't be sleepy: [Look. 】

In Chengqian Palace, Emperor Tianheng played with the small green glazed medicine bottle in his hand, which contained a brown ointment and exuded a faint smell of herbs.

Guangquan saw that he had not moved, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the slave will help you paint?" ”

Emperor Tianheng glanced at his wrinkled face in the bronze mirror: "No, I will come by myself." ”

Then you should paint it.

Guangquan was in a hurry, and after cleaning his face, the emperor kept pinching this thing, and he didn't move after sitting on a small half of the incense.

The emperor has been weird recently, and he said a while ago that he didn't care, it's just a small scar, and it will be better soon, and he wants ointment again today, but he didn't apply it when he brought it, and his expression was still a little disgusted.

Fortunately, in the end, Emperor Tianheng still painted it.

Just looking at the brown stuff on his face, he was still very unaccustomed to it, and directly threw the medicine bottle into the drawer, ready to continue to batch the folds that he hadn't finished reading during the day.

At this moment, Donglai came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine An is here to bring you supper." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Tianheng's brows furrowed even deeper, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneering arc: "I still have business to do, let her wait in the side hall." ”

Donglai nodded and stepped back.

Emperor Tianheng was silent for a while, took a piece of paper, quickly wrote a few words, and handed it to Donglai, who was waiting next to him.

Donglai glanced at it and quickly burned the paper, and then silently retreated.

In the side hall, Concubine An was very excited, this was the first time the emperor had kept her, and it was still night.

She was right.

Although there is a certain risk in this matter, but wealth is in danger, if she doesn't want to try to compete for favor, the emperor won't look at her much now, but I'm afraid that she will never have the opportunity to be favored.

After a few years, her color is fading, and there are new people in the palace, how can the emperor remember her.

The emperor has no heirs yet, as long as she can give birth to the emperor's eldest son, there will be a place for her in this palace in the future. Even if this matter is exposed, the emperor will not do anything to her if she has an heir.

And she didn't explicitly say that she was the owner of that mysterious voice, so she could have completely disagreed with it when the time came, saying that it was just a misunderstanding.

It's a pity that the abacus played well, but she sat in the side hall for an hour and didn't see the emperor.

An Concubine gradually became a little uneasy.

She pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and finally couldn't help but ask the little eunuch standing next to her: "Father-in-law, does the emperor have to be busy until so late every night?" ”

The little eunuch had a very good attitude and smiled, but he didn't reveal anything: "The emperor has every opportunity, and he will come to see Niangniang when he is done, and please be patient." ”

This wait, instead of waiting for Emperor Tianheng, he waited for an uninvited guest-Zhou Cairen.

The palace maid behind Zhou Cairen also carried a food box in her hand.

The two of them were surprised when they met in the side hall.

An Concubine was already waiting anxiously, but now there is another one to compete for favor, but I am afraid that today's trip will be in vain. Her face was faintly unsightly, and she forced a smile and asked, "Why is Sister Zhou here?" ”

Zhou Cairen's usual silence and saluted: "The concubine came to send supper to the emperor." ”

Then she stood at the door with a smile, and waited for Concubine An to sit down, and then she sat down by the door, lowered her head, and waited quietly.

Concubine An was almost mad, and finally seized the opportunity, but she hadn't even seen the emperor's face, and something bad happened.

Tang Shi was also very puzzled.

[Why did Zhou Cairen come? Hasn't she always been the least existent? 】

Zhou Cairen is like an invisible person, never pinching the tip of his head. According to her character, if she bumps into An Concubine, she should take the initiative to avoid it, and take the initiative to leave when she puts down her things, but today she knows that she will offend An Concubine or is in Chengqian Palace, so she is not afraid that An Concubine will remember her?

Guaga also didn't understand: [When Zhou Cairen was eating supper in the evening, he suddenly remembered the emperor, so he asked the palace maid to prepare one. I can't see that Zhou Cairen still cares about the emperor. 】

I don't understand Tang Shi and don't think about it, anyway, it's none of her business as a melon-eating passerby.

She watched the play with great interest: [Come two at once, and I don't know how the dog emperor will deal with it later. Will you keep one or two tonight? 】

Emperor Tianheng in the imperial study didn't have this mind at all.

While criticizing the folds, he asked Guangquan: "Are people coming?" ”

Guangquan nodded: "Yes, Zhou Cairen has been here for a while." ”

Emperor Tianheng didn't speak, but there was a slight mockery on his face.

Still no sound.

Expected answer.

The woman is noisy and bold, open-mouthed, greedy, and quite lazy in her words, she should be the kind of character who is at peace with what she encounters, contented and happy, how can she compete for favor.

According to what he knew about the woman, it was impossible for her to walk a few miles in the cold wind at night to bring him supper. There was a supper, and it is estimated that she ate it first.

Although Concubine An's actions during the day were somewhat in line with the woman, her personality was not right. An Concubine has been dressed up in Chengqian Palace in the past few days, and she obviously has the intention of competing for favor, if she really has this magical power, she has already used it, how can she keep holding it down.

He had already had some doubts in his heart, but now all this only confirmed the speculation in his heart.

Emperor Tianheng calmly made a stroke on the fold, and then spoke: "Let Zhou Cairen go back." Concubine An stayed, sent her some needlework and thread, and said that I wanted a sachet. ”

Concubine An listened to the words of the eunuch and was so excited that her face turned red.

The emperor drove away Zhou Cairen, left her alone, and said that he liked the sachet she embroidered, which shows that the emperor treats her differently.

She hurriedly took the needle and thread and began to embroider the sachet, vowing to make the most special sachet to satisfy the emperor.

Tang Shi lay on the bed and yawned three times, and when he heard such a follow-up, he was speechless to the extreme.

[In the middle of the night, the third watch embroidered the sachet, and he could figure it out. 】

[Is the dog emperor sick, the concubine grinds, and there is still a little red sleeve fragrance of the beautiful beauty, but the embroidered sachet at night, can it be completed in one or two hours? ] Ann Concubine, this is going to be an all-night rhythm, it's so hard...... Forget it, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. 】

Seeing that there was nothing good to watch, Tang Shi was no longer entangled, said goodnight to Guagua, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
