Nong Hua Makeup

Chapter 23

The Lin residence was silent at this time, Zhao Huaiyan raised his eyebrows in surprise seeing that she went out from the side door of an abandoned yard.

However, Lin Jinhua knew what he was thinking: "This courtyard was not originally used as a storehouse for my mother to store dowry, so I know there is a secret door here that can directly go outside the house."

Zhao Huaiyan took a deep look at her: "Why do you hate Zhao Kan?"

Lin Jinyu's palms tightened secretly, and she smiled slightly: "Where did the lord see that the courtier hates the third prince? It's true that he doesn't like it. The third prince is Meng Lang, who is very promiscuous, and the courtier doesn't like it."

When Zhao Huaiyan heard this, why did she always feel that she was talking about herself?But today I was impulsive once.

He frowned, looked at her alienated look, his face was slightly cold: "That's all..."

"My daughter-in-law will leave." Lin Jinhua bowed after hearing this, turned around and left.

Before Zhao Huaiyan could finish speaking, she opened her mouth to stop her, but seeing that she seemed to really care about today's kiss, she became confused again. Did she lie to herself when she said that she admired her?

The heavy rain fell on the bluestone slab, Zhao Huaiyan looked at the blood dripping from his abdomen to the ground, turned around and left with a dull expression.

Early the next morning, news of Zheng Yecheng's assassination spread.

Lin Jinhua had been waiting outside the old lady's courtyard early to say hello, and 'coincidentally' met Lin Xiteng who was in a hurry.

When Lin Xiteng saw her, he looked like he was watching the show: "You have to give the marriage, and the third brother died. Do you think you killed it? First you killed your mother, and now you killed your brother. The next one will It won't be your father..."

"Snapped--!"

Before Lin Xiteng finished speaking, Lin Jinhua slapped her hard.

Everyone was shocked, and Bai Lan turned pale: "Miss, you are..."

"Lin Jinhua, I think you are tired of living..."

"I accepted Madam Dingnanhou's invitation today, just now I slap you and curse my father!" She would never tolerate these people hurting her relatives again, but this slap was indeed premeditated.

Enraged, Lin Xiteng stepped forward and strangled her neck, and when Bai Lan tried to pull her, he kicked her away.

Seeing that Lin Jinyu's face was blue and she was out of breath, the old lady rushed over and pulled Lin Xiteng away.

Lin Jinhua was panting heavily, and could feel her neck was about to break, but she just wanted to do this, so she must be bruised and purple now, which is very hideous!
"Second Young Master, Miss Seven is going to Dingnanhou's Mansion today, how can you..." The woman next to the old lady reminded secretly, but Lin Xiteng didn't accept this favor: "She asked for it herself!"

Lin Jinhua chewed tears in her eyes, bit her lips slightly and looked at her mother-in-law: "Mama, please tell grandma, it's getting late, so I'll go directly to Madam Hou." After that, she led Bai Lan away without looking back up.

Lin Xiteng snorted: "Didn't you just climb up the branch and really think that you have become a phoenix?"

The old woman looked at Lin Xiteng who still didn't understand, and hurriedly sent someone to report to the old lady.

Lin Zisu hid to the side early and heard these words, and waited for the mother-in-law to leave before she stepped forward and said, "Second brother, why should you be so angry? Seventh younger sister is young and ignorant, and now she is the queen-to-be. From now on, she will be the most important thing in our mansion." Where is the honorable man?"

Lin Xiteng's eyes dimmed when he heard this, and his thin face immediately turned gloomy.

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Lin Zisu continued: "But now she dares to hit the second brother. Going forward, the second brother should avoid her..."

Lin Xiteng listened more and more hard, and looked at Lin Jinhua's leaving back with a sinister smile: "How can a punished person enter the royal family? I'm afraid this marriage is not worth it." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards his father's study.

Seeing him leaving angrily, Lin Zisu raised the corners of her mouth and glanced at the maid beside her: "The third prince sent two plates of fruit to the palace this morning, you go and get one and send it to Seventh Sister's courtyard."

The servant girl rolled her eyeballs and smiled knowingly: "My servant understands."

At this moment, Lin Jinhua had already left the house and got into the carriage, and the old lady sent people to stop her, but she didn't stop her.

On the carriage, Bai Lan shed tears in distress.

"Miss, why bother to fight with the second son, now I almost lost my life..."

"If I don't fight today, I'm afraid I'll really die next time. I'm going to let them know now that Lin Jinhua's life, my father's and brother's life is not so easy to take!" Lin Jinhua's face was cold.

Bai Lan looked at her burning eyes and said, "Miss, when you came back yesterday, there was blood on your clothes, you won't kill me..."

"Bloodstains?" Lin Jinhua frowned slightly. She remembered only seeing Zhao Huaiyan's arm was injured, but his arm didn't touch her at all. Could it be that he was injured elsewhere?
Just as he was thinking, the carriage had already stopped.

When Lin Jinhua got out of the carriage, she saw someone waiting at the front door. As soon as she saw her coming, she approached with a smile: "Miss Lin, my wife has been waiting for you for a long time... Your neck..." The mother-in-law glanced at her neck. The bruised and reddish eyes, startled.

Lin Jinhua only tried to hide her panic, and hurriedly lowered her eyes and said, "Please trouble me to find a silk handkerchief for me later. I came in a hurry, but I didn't prepare it."

The mother-in-law nodded her head, didn't ask any further questions, and hurriedly led her in, but quietly asked someone to tell Mrs. Dingnan Hou.

Dingnanhou's Mansion was more than twice as big as Lin's Mansion. After passing through the second gate, Lin Jinhua sat in a sedan chair for a while before arriving at Mrs. Hou's courtyard.

Although it is November now, there are rare green plants in the courtyard, and there are still many blooming flowers under the porch, which shows that Mrs. Hou has put a lot of thought into it.

The mother-in-law opened the curtain for her, leading her through the flower hall to the greenhouse before stopping, but today besides Madam Hou, Marquis Dingnan is also here. If she remembers correctly, the eldest uncle is currently planning to get promoted I begged him for a long time for the matter of bringing out the eldest lady...

She lowered her eyes and obediently greeted the salute, Madam Hou quickly asked someone to help her up: "When you enter Prince Ning's mansion in the future, you will be Princess Ning, and I will still salute you."

"Madam was joking." Lin Jinhua choked up slightly.

Madam Hou looked at the obviously unsuitable veil around her neck, stretched out her hand and pulled her to sit beside her, and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." She shook her head with a smile, and felt for Madam Hou's pulse. The pulse was stable, and there was no sign of a fetus, but she was abandoned and left the house in February, and her pregnancy should have happened around this time. Only two months.

She raised her eyes to see the impatient expression on Ding Nanhou's face, and knew that the two had long been in harmony, and said with a smile: "Madam, did you find an imperial physician for a coincidence?"

When Mrs. Hou heard this, her expression brightened: "Could it be possible that you already have it now?"

"Now the pulse is extremely weak, and ordinary people can't detect it, and it will take a month or two. Madam has recuperated in the past two months, and the mood is over, the sooner it can be detected." Lin Jinhua smiled.She really only has a little understanding of medical skills, but she can guess nine out of ten what happened next.

When Ding Nanhou heard this, he frowned slightly: "Really?"

Not only was Lin Jinhua not happy when she saw it, but she was a little anxious. She thought that someone outside had already promised to give up Mrs. Hou to welcome her in.She remembered that the one she married was none other than a cousin of Zheng's mansion.

Mrs. Hou's expression was slightly embarrassed, but she smiled softly: "Isn't Master Hou just looking forward to a son? In the past two months, my concubine has been too busy to take care of him. I can't serve Master Hou. Later, I will choose one or two good-looking sons for Master Hou... "

"What are you talking about!" Ding Nanhou looked embarrassed when he saw her saying this in front of outsiders.

Mrs. Dingnanhou is over [-] years old, and she is not considered smart, she is already in her mid-mature, and anyone can predict her falling out of favor, and she knows it well.

Seeing her disappointed look, Lin Jinhua smiled slightly: "Mrs. Hou is virtuous and generous. I heard that she is the best at needlework. Jinhua was thinking of embroidering some ruyi handkerchiefs for her brothers and sisters at home and the father and brother at the border. The best embroiderer is even worse than Madam, if Madam is free, how about giving Jinhua some advice?"

Mrs. Hou doesn't understand poetry, books, etiquette and music. Although she was born in a wealthy family, she doesn't like those things the most. She is only good at embroidery, which makes her quite proud.

Hearing what Lin Jinhua said, he felt much better, his face flushed slightly, and his eyes became extraordinarily bright: "You're always talking sweet words to me."

Seeing her like this, Ding Nanhou felt a little girlish, so he couldn't help but feel a little trembling in his heart.

"The Marquis still has work to do..."

"Then Houye tonight..." Mrs. Hou thought that he was impatient with herself when she heard it, and said anxiously, but Dingnanhou laughed loudly: "Come back tonight for dinner, you better prepare it."

Madam Hou listened, and immediately became shy.

After seeing off Ding Nan Hou, he looked at Lin Jinhua gratefully: "You girl, I thought you were a thoughtful person, but now I see, it's not a bad thing to be thoughtful."

Lin Jinhua lowered her eyes and smiled slightly: "If I don't think much, I'm afraid my life will be gone."

"So serious?" Mrs. Hou said in surprise, she didn't want to meddle in her business before, but now she is willing to meddle.

Seeing this, the mother-in-law approached wisely and said, "The bruise on Miss Lin's neck may not have been pinched by someone, it's really scary."

After Madam Hou heard the words, she also knew about the filth of the Lin family.The third wife of the Lin family was originally a descendant. The old lady was just an outsider back then, and quietly gave birth to two sons in front of the main house. When the main house died, she lifted the main house and bullied the original son's family. side.

"Don't worry about this matter. Mr. Lin is still thinking of earning an order for the old lady. I will go to see the empress tomorrow." Mrs. Hou said directly, which was a promise to Lin Jinhua.

"But grandmother has nothing to do with it..."

"It's her fault that discipline is not strict. Your mother just passed away, so she should be more considerate." Madam Hou looked at her and said, fearing that she would refuse, she went to ask someone to prepare melon and fruit snacks, and dragged her to say something else Things went away, and she was not allowed to go back until it was getting late.

While leaving, Lin Jinhua heard from the servants of Dingnanhou's Mansion that the assassin had a clue last night, saying that the sword wound in his abdomen had poisoned him, and if he didn't invite a doctor, he might not live for half a month.Now the Marquis of Dingnan has been watching all the doctors in the capital, and he will definitely be able to find out.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Jinhua thought for a while, and in the end he sighed heavily and told the carriage, "Go to No. 37, Chengnan Alley."

"Miss, what are we going there for?" Bai Lan asked puzzled.

"Go look for Murong Chen." After Lin Jinhua said lightly, she leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes, but her heart was complicated. Maybe Zhao Huaiyan's treatment of herself yesterday was caused by poison?If this is the case, she has misunderstood the good guy, after all, she can't find out about the border, so she has to ask Zhao Huaiyan for this matter.
