Situ Lin sat on a circle chair under the porch, his face obscured by the shadows, and only his smooth and angular chin was exposed. He motioned to the butler beside him to come over and whispered in a low voice, but the butler nodded frequently and quickly retreated.

"Say quickly, do not grind and chirple, lest your skin and flesh suffer. The mother-in-law said viciously with a leather whip in her hand.

Lu Rui is a family slave, she has never been to the Zhuangzi outside the city of Zhongfu, naturally she doesn't know that this is the Zhuangzi of Lingwangfu, she thinks that this is the grange of Zhongfu, in the face of the intimidation of her mother-in-law, she was still a little afraid, seeing the steward leave in a hurry, her eyes moved slightly, she thought about it in her heart, made up her mind, and took out the style of Miss Zhongfu's personal big girl.

She struggled a few times, and found that she really couldn't break free, so she took a deep breath, "Why are you tying me up and using private acts on me." I'm from the house, so you're so bold. Saying that, she looked at her mother-in-law viciously, if her eyes could kill, then her mother-in-law had been killed by her many times.

"The house?" the mother-in-law looked at her suspiciously, seeing that Situ Lin didn't say anything, she also understood a lot in her heart, "Why is it so sneaky from the house, I asked you before, why are you talking in a different way?"

Lu Rui didn't expect her mother-in-law to react like this, so in order to get out, she had to grit her teeth and refuse to admit it, "I only ...... Shi Cai is frightened, let me go. As he spoke, he looked up at Situ Lin under the corridor, "You! are talking about you, you are just a Zhuangzi steward, why do you treat me like this." ”

Situ Lin hooked the corners of his mouth, ignored her, played with the pendant in his hand, and asked people to prepare a fire cage and hot tea. After a while, Zhong Li wrapped in a fox fur and slowly came with the steward, and the green stamen, who was tied to the pillar, saw someone coming, and struggled even more.

Zhong Li sat down beside Situ Lin quietly, and said with a low brow and a slight smile, "Shizi asked me to come here to see this?"

"How can such a good show be without Li'er's presence?" Situ Lin looked at her, hooked the corners of his mouth, reached out and took a piece of chestnut cake, and sent it to Zhong Li's mouth, "This chestnut cake is sweet but not greasy, you can also taste it." ”

"The son of the world, this is to be true, I don't keep the name of etiquette. Saying that, Zhong Li took Situ Lin's hand, lightly opened his thin lips and bit the chestnut cake in his hand, and tasted it for a long time before continuing, "This chestnut cake is really sweet and delicious, but how can the prince return my innocent reputation?"

"Miss Chang wants to hear what she wants, and I will make Miss Chang satisfied. Situ Lin put the remaining chestnut cake in his hand in his mouth, "This chestnut cake is really sweet and delicious as Li'er said." ”

Even though Zhong Li has gone through two lives, in the face of Situ Lin's actions, he can't help but blush and heartbeat.

"Ahem...... , Mama, this is a girl who is interrogating the underground, but what is the problem?" Zhong Li cleared his throat and asked in a loud voice.

The mother-in-law turned around and replied respectfully, "Miss Yan, someone found this girl sneaky in the Zhuangzi, so they took her down for interrogation." But this girl didn't match the preface and didn't ask any truth. ”

Zhong Liwan smiled, "Mother-in-law has worked hard, and I vaguely heard the girl say that she was the girl next to Miss, but what about it?"

"There is indeed that. However, when she was asked a question earlier, she answered the preface and did not match the afterword. ”

"It's hard work, mother-in-law, you go down first to warm up, don't catch a cold. This girl just stayed here and interrogated slowly. Before the words fell, Situ Lin chuckled and added a hot cup of tea to her.

Zhong Li turned his head to look at him, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's very good under this corridor, there are refreshments and fire cages, but it's still very cold to sit in this snowy day, so it's better to take a walk to warm up your body." ”

"That's a good idea, but what are you going to do with that girl?" asked Situ Lin in a low voice.

Zhong Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is the territory of the prince, I don't dare to overstep it, anyway, the prince is already decisive and ruthless outside, and there will be no criticism when dealing with a girl who doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, at most ......" She said halfway, then stopped talking, gathered the fox fur on her body, and went to the inner courtyard.

Situ Lin glanced at the girl, raised his hand and motioned for the steward of the Grange to step forward, whispered, and turned to leave. The steward walked up to Lu Rui, didn't talk nonsense, directly lifted a bucket of water, and poured it on her, "You think about it calmly, what are you doing here." With a cold snort, he dropped the bucket and left with the people, warming himself around the fire cage.

The soaked green stamen, shivering, the clothes on her body soon formed a layer of thin ice, and her lips were slightly purple, because of the cold, she couldn't even speak completely, and said intermittently, "Let go...... I...... I say...... Say...... Truth...... I...... I am...... It's the clock...... Zhongfu ...... Target...... ...... Girl. ”

When the steward heard this, he let her be relieved and brought to the fire, "Speak...... , I didn't have to suffer this sin earlier, didn't I?" said he saw that the steward filled the fire cage with some silver charcoal, "Since you are a girl from Zhongfu, why did you talk nonsense before, and to be honest, why did you have to be so sneaky." The steward asked, looking at the green stamen.

Lu Rui looked at the steward tremblingly, her teeth itched with hatred, but the current scene was not the time for her to be competitive, she lowered her head, and her eyes rolled quickly, "I'm ...... for a while. Confused for a while, ...... again I'm afraid...... Miss Weird...... Blame, only nonsense...... Nonsense... Speech...... Gibberish. I was just...... Just Madame...... No, it's not, I'm ...... Aunt Lin...... Auntie's yard...... Serving... Wait...... The girl who waits. ”

The steward pursed his lips, looked at Lu Rui with disdain, and didn't say anything, Lu Rui looked up and saw the steward, half-convinced, moved his frozen body, almost leaned on the side of the fire cage, and paused for a long time before continuing, "Auntie...... She won't let it go...... Rest assured, all is ...... Only let the slave ...... The maid followed. ”

"Mama Xu, take her down first, I'll go back and see what to do with her next. The steward found Mama Xu in Zhuangzi, handed her the green stamen, and gave her a look before leaving.

Mama Xu took her to the lower room, and she didn't change her clothes, not even a fire cage. The dim lower room was ventilated everywhere, which made the green stamen, which was still wet on the body, suddenly like falling into a river of ice. She originally wanted to shout, but found that Mama Xu didn't care about her at all, leaned outside the door, took out a handful of melon seeds from her arms, and ate them by herself. Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Rui cautiously climbed to the window, tiptoed out, and ran when he saw that no one around had his legs, for fear of being found and pressed back. However, what she didn't know was that when she climbed the window, there were several pairs of eyes looking at her.

"Li'er, did you just let this girl go?" Situ Lin asked knowingly.

Zhong Li glanced at Situ Lin beside him, "Situ Lin, is it really interesting for you to ask this knowingly?"

"Naturally, it's interesting, what I'm thinking about may not be what Li'er said, is it?" Situ Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at her with admiration in his eyes.

"Although this matter is in King Ling's Zhuangzi, and the person concerned about this matter is in the courtyard of Aunt Zhongfu, if the prince investigates it, it will be an uproar, if nothing happens and they are not held accountable, then what will happen to them?" Zhong Li didn't want to reveal his plan, but with her understanding of Situ Lin, he would guess his plan in less than half an hour, so it would be more appropriate to leave this choice to him.

Situ Lin heard her ask, pondered for a moment and then had an answer, "Li'er is really smart, then I will let Miss Yan arrange it, and Situ Lin will be at your disposal at any time." ”

When Zhong Li heard this, she burst out laughing, "It's not early, my grandmother is still waiting for me to pass, do you want to come along?"

Zhong Li, who went and returned, returned to the house and chatted with her grandmother for a while, until Xiao Fei came back and forth, and the carriage and horses were ready. Yan Shaolan was supported by Zhong Li and walked slowly, before getting into the carriage, she turned around and looked at the place where she had lived all these years, tears couldn't help but fall, looking at the people who came to see her off, she leaned over solemnly, "The old body has lived here for many years, thanks to your care, I can avoid the disaster, and the old body thanks you again." ”

"The old lady really tormented us like this, and these should have been. The people who saw them off said in unison, and they all returned the gifts, and some of them also brought vegetables and fruits grown in the grange, so that they could eat the vegetables and fruits they wanted at any time when they brought them to the house.

The old lady couldn't resist them, so she accepted them all, and Zhong Li thanked them one by one. At this time, the corners of Situ Lin's mouth were slightly upturned, guarding their side, like a guard. After a cup of tea, the carriage moved slowly, and in the wide carriage, Zhong Li sat beside Yan Shaolan, and talked about many recent things along the way. During this period, Zhong Li repeatedly determined Yan Shaolan's situation, and then breathed a sigh of relief, now that she has returned home, the next thing is not trivial, what awaits her is not only conspiracy and calculation, she wants to ensure that all the people she cares about are safe, but now there are many things that are very different from the previous life, and she can only take one step at a time.

Looking at the green stamen who escaped from the grange, his face was pale and his lips were slightly purple, obviously frozen clearly. After sneaking back to the ancestral hall, she changed into a clean dress and poured herself several cups of hot tea before recovering a little. At this moment, the door was kicked open with a bang, and she was so shocked that she smashed the tea cup in her hand, and looked at the person tremblingly, "cough, cough, cough...... , Mama is here, I'm really ...... Be...... Ahem...... Under the weather...... Uncomfortable tight. With that, she hurriedly leaned down to pick up the broken teacup and went out.

"Since it's uncomfortable, let's go back to the house first, don't stay here as an eyesore, I'll naturally go and talk back to Miss Yan, get out!" Mama looked at the situation in the room, glanced at her, waved her hand disdainfully, and impatiently dismissed the green stamen.
