Chapter 29
Chapter 29
Lin Xiyu was a little timid, but she was ruthless and stupid enough. When she thought that she might become a princess-to-be, she also put Lin Jinhua's warning to the back of her mind.
It began to snow slowly at night, and Lin Jinhua knelt on the cold bluestone slab and looked at the ancestors in the ancestral hall, with no respect in her heart, especially her late grandfather.If he hadn't Fu Lao Furen, who had given birth to two sons in front of the main room, was the upper class in the outer room, he wouldn't have allowed Daddy, an upright son, to be bullied so far!
Cai'er and Bai Lan were stopped outside the ancestral hall, looking at their thin bodies, their voices were almost hoarse from crying.
"What should I do? If this continues, even if Miss's plan works, I'm afraid my body won't be able to survive." Cai'er was anxious.
Bai Lan tried her best to calm herself down, thought for a while, then looked at Cai'er resolutely and said, "You stay here to guard the young lady, I'll go find the prince."
"Prince Ning? Will he take care of our lady?" Cai'er didn't know much, only that the prince was withdrawn and difficult to get in touch with, and she didn't know if this marriage was a good thing.
Bai Lan didn't know either, but she had to try.
"We have no one else to rely on." After finishing speaking, he quietly looked at the woman who was guarding the door, turned around and ran away quickly.
As the night gradually deepened, the woman guarding the ancestral hall looked at Lin Jinhua who was kneeling with her back straight, shook her head and went back to rest.
Cai'er could only wait outside anxiously, unaware that Chuntao had sneaked into Lin's mansion with someone at this moment.
In Prince Ning's Mansion, when Gao Zhi saw Bai Lan, whose face was blue with cold, he was a little surprised: "Why are you here at this time?"
Bai Lan didn't care about the cold, and hurriedly begged: "My lord, please go and save my young lady, otherwise my young lady's life will be lost."
"How could this be?" Gao Zhi looked in the direction of the backyard and seemed a little embarrassed.
Bai Lan talked about everything that happened during the day, and only skipped the matter of the people who deliberately left Dingnanhou's mansion.
After Gao Ting listened, his face darkened: "The Lin family is too ignorant, they don't know that the Lin family has relied on Miss Seven's father these years."
"If they knew what's good and what's wrong, Madam wouldn't be unhappy all day long." Bai Lan burst into tears, almost knelt down by Gao Zhi.
While Gao Zhi was hesitating, suddenly a black figure came out from behind and said coldly, "Lead the way!"
"My lord!" Gao Jin whispered, and hurried forward to help, but Zhao Huaiyan withdrew his hand coldly, but said worriedly: "You were drugged like that today. I'm afraid it will..."
"It's okay. Go find Murong Chen and wait in the mansion." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, he turned and left.Bai Lan looked at Gao Tian with a worried expression on her face, wanted to ask but was worried about Lin Jinhua, so she gritted her teeth and turned around to follow.
The Lin Mansion at this time.
Lin Xiyu tossed and turned in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep for a long time. Because she was so excited, she hoped that the morning would dawn earlier and she would receive the imperial decree of marriage sooner.
After thinking for a while, he sat up again: "Come on, let's go to the ancestral hall!"
The servant girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked puzzledly: "Miss, it's very cold outside, what are you going out for now?"
Lin Xiyu looked at the heavy snow and the strong wind blowing outside, and snorted softly: "Seventh Sister's face is getting better and better, if Prince Ning insists on asking her to be a concubine, what should I do?" Then, he asked someone to take a sharp object in his hand, and led the maid to quietly go to the ancestral hall.
Chuntao and the others had already entered the ancestral hall through the low courtyard wall, but she didn't know if the concierge was careless, the candles in the ancestral hall were all extinguished at this moment, and she couldn't see her fingers.
Chuntao thought for a while, pointed to the direction of the front door and whispered: "Today, she is the only one in the ancestral hall, so go and come back quickly, don't get caught."
The man with the scar behind her smiled lewdly: "You can rest assured that I will handle the matter."
Chuntao gritted her teeth, her sister was kicked out of the capital, he was so eager to do these things with women, he was really ungrateful.
The resentment in my heart is resentment, and I can't delay the master's affairs.When the man left, he found a corner and waited quietly, but he didn't know that Lin Jinhua was no longer there.She has seen many of these tricks in her previous life, so how could she not guard against them in this life?Even Lin Xiyu might as well be on guard against Lin Zisu who has been waiting in the dark for an opportunity.
She hid under the altar and waited. Seeing the dark shadow outside, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she was ready to go to sleep with peace of mind. She never thought that there was a creak from the door.With the help of the lantern she brought, she managed to see clearly that it was Lin Xiyu!
The man also heard the movement, and hurriedly hid to the side. According to Chuntao, only Lin Jinhua would appear here, so he secretly geared up!
Lin Xiyu left the maid outside the courtyard, and was about to go up to make a move quietly, but suddenly a person rushed up behind her, covered her mouth tightly and wrapped her arms around her waist, and gnawed her neck directly with one mouth.
Lin Jinhua looked at the twisted body, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen. She looked at the fire pocket she had hidden, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
The fire in the ancestral hall started from the backyard, and the men in the front yard didn't notice it at all. When they found out, the concierge's wife had already woken up, and Cai'er, who had just returned to Luoxia Garden to pick up a thick cotton coat, also started to shout.
He took off half of his trousers and was about to run in the direction of Chuntao. At some point, another woman jumped out of the ancestral hall, and he was so frightened that he lost his soul immediately.
"You...you are Lian'er's best friend?" Lin Jinhua pretended to be surprised and exclaimed.
When Chuntao heard her voice, she knew that the man had done something bad, so she turned around and was about to leave first, but the people outside chased her in.
Chuntao winked at the man, and cruelly went forward and dragged Lin Jinhua into the ancestral hall, intending to burn her alive, and the man also took the opportunity to sneak towards the back door.
Lin Jinhua never thought that Chuntao had such great strength at this moment, and she thought she was determined to die.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, Cai'er saw the raging fire, she was red-eyed and was about to rush in but was stopped by someone, and then she saw a black figure rushing inside quickly.
"Hua'er—!"
When Zhao Huaiyan saw Lin Jinhua who was being strangled and pushed into the fire, his heart was about to jump out.The heart-piercing pain in the dream is now more clear, making him regret why he didn't send someone to guard him personally, and let her suffer such a crime!
When Chuntao heard the sound, she increased the strength in her hands. Lin Jinhua only felt that the feeling of dying from poison pouring down her throat in her previous life was coming again, which made her lose all strength and fell into a strange trembling and despair until Zhao Huaiyan knocked Chuntao out, and hugged her horizontally in his arms.
"Hua'er..." Zhao Huaiyan looked at the extremely fragile person at the moment, with despair and resentment written in his eyes, and he picked it up in distress for a moment.
Lin Jinhua looked at his red eyes and pale face, his cold heart seemed to be warmed up: "You are here..."
"Before... I should have been here all the time." Zhao Huaiyan hugged her tightly, listening to the noise outside, his face was rather cold.
Lin Jinhua didn't know which past he was talking about, and she didn't have the heart to think about it now. If everyone from outside came, then her plan would come true.It will be a matter of time before the big house and the second house are at odds.
When the old lady heard that Bailan had invited King Ning, she was so frightened that she almost jumped out of bed, and hurried to the scene surrounded by fire, just in time to see Zhao Huaiyan carrying her out.She glanced at Lin Xiyu, who was in ragged clothes and was crying bitterly. She frowned slightly, and hurriedly pretended to be worried to greet Lin Jinhua: "Jinhua, are you okay? What's wrong?"
Lin Jinhua didn't pierce her mask, and quietly tugged on Zhao Huaiyan's sleeve. Zhao Huaiyan put her down knowingly. Seeing that she had no other scars except for the bruise around her neck, she felt relieved. She just pulled him With the little intimacy of the sleeves, suddenly, I just felt a mouthful of honey poured into my heart, it was so sweet.
"Jinhua was kneeling outside the ancestral hall as ordered by her grandmother, but it was cold today, so she hid quietly inside. When night fell, she heard men and women outside..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Xiyu retorted with a pale face: "I just came to see you, but I met someone who didn't know what to do, and I didn't get hurt..."
With Lin Xiyu's explanation, the old lady wished she could slap her twice, how could she be so stupid.
She quickly looked at Zhao Huaiyan, and said cautiously: "My lord, maybe a thief broke in..."
Before she could finish her sentence, someone had already caught the man with his pants up. He had a scar on the left side of his face and his upper body was still open.
When Lin Xiyu saw him, she was so angry that she wanted to jump up and kill him, but when she was stopped, the old lady said coldly: "Take him down first, and interrogate tomorrow." She didn't want to lose face in front of King Ning.
Zhao Huaiyan cast a cold glance at the servant, stepped forward to block Lin Jinhua's gaze, and said coldly, "Now for trial."
What he said obviously meant that he was in control, and the old lady was also surprised. Could it be that King Ning really cares about Lin Jinhua so much?
She made some calculations in her heart, and she wanted to refuse, but Zhao Huaiyan acted as if she would never leave without interrogation, so she had to compromise.
Not long after, Chuntao, who had fainted to death, was also carried out.
The man was also terrified, and he said like beans in a bamboo tube: "The little one also listened to Sister Chuntao's orders, and she said that she would deal with the people in the yard."
"Could it be that Zisu ordered you to come here?" Lin Xiyu was so angry that her little face almost twisted.Her innocence was almost ruined. Although the matter was not done, but if she said it, it would inevitably cause a joke, not to mention that King Ning is still here today.Thinking of this, she wished she could kill Lin Zisu.
The man shook his head: "I don't know if it's Miss Fourth, but Sister Chuntao..."
"Okay!" The old lady scolded, her heart was also very complicated.She doesn't mind dealing with Lin Jinhua, but if she doesn't let go of the big house, it will touch her bottom line.She looked at the man coldly, then turned to Zhao Huaiyan and said, "Prince Ning, how do you think about it? If this matter gets out, the young ladies of the Lin family will not look good."
Zhao Huaiyan frowned slightly and looked at Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua didn't expect that he would fight for his own opinion, but seeing his fists clenched tightly, his eyes were a little strange. Could it be that the injury on his body hasn't healed yet, and he can't stand it now?
"Break into Lin's residence at night, insulting the master's innocence, he should be killed." Lin Jinhua looked away calmly at the old lady.
The old lady was very surprised when she heard the word "Dangsha" faintly uttered. If she was not used to killing people, how could she say these two words casually, and there was no trace of disturbance, unlike Lin Xiyu who hated Gritting his teeth, there is only a faint indifference.
"Yes." Zhao Huaiyan agreed.
When the man heard this, he collapsed on the ground and begged for mercy.
The old lady lowered her eyes and raised her hand: "Drag it on." It was a death sentence.
After Chuntao was woken up by being splashed with cold water, she was about to bump into a pillar without saying a word.She will not betray Lin Zisu, because her family is still in her hands, but before she died, she stared at Lin Jinhua fiercely, as if she had forced her to death: "Miss Seven, even if this slave is a ghost, I won't let you go!" of!"
"Presumptuous!" Zhao Huaiyan seldom got angry, his phoenix eyes, which were never turbulent, were sullen, and the majestic murderous aura all over his body made everyone tremble, and he lowered his eyes and dared not make a sound.
Chuntao was taken aback for a moment, and then she was dragged out by someone covering her mouth. The old lady's complexion also darkened. The more King Ning cared about Lin Jinhua, the less she would be able to deal with the third bedroom quietly in the future. It's not a good thing.
Seeing that King Ning loved Lin Jinhua so much, Lin Xiyu was jealous and envious, and said pitifully with tears in her eyes: "Don't be angry, my lord. Xiyu will definitely take good care of Seventh Sister in the future."
The old lady also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be so angry, the matter of the Lin Mansion will be handled by the minister's wife."
Her meaning was very clear, outsiders don't need to intervene in the Lin family's affairs.
Zhao Huaiyan gave her a cold look, only feeling that the effect of the medicine in his body was getting stronger and stronger, he stood up reluctantly: "General Lin won this battle, and he will return to Beijing with Mr. Lin in a few days. This king will not interfere with the Lin family. Family matters, but Miss Seven is the future Concubine Ning, this king asks the old lady to take care of her, if there is such a villain again, this king will definitely die!"
The old lady looked at his stern side face with fear, and she could say that she would cut Lin Jinhua to death, and he said that Sanfang and his son were about to return victorious...
The old lady gritted her teeth but could only swallow it in her stomach, and smiled quickly.
Lin Jinhua was stunned, father will come back with brother?Brother is not dead?
"My lord..."
"My king is tired, send me out of the mansion." Zhao Huaiyan took a deep look at her, and walked away directly.
Lin Xiyu also wanted to follow. After all, such a courageous and handsome prince, no one wants to marry, but before he went out, Zhao Huaiyan said coldly: "Others don't need to follow."
Lin Xiyu's face froze, and she looked at Lin Jinhua who turned around and went out, her fingers were about to be pinched into the flesh of her palm, she turned her head and looked at the old lady beggingly: "Grandmother, you said that you want to marry me to His Royal Highness King Ning..."
The old lady glanced at her angrily: "Prince Ning's thoughts are all on Lin Jinhua now..."
"But if Sanfang triumphs and she becomes Concubine Ning again, they may not recognize your stepmother who has been raised up in the future. Maybe they will drive you out of the Lin Mansion and let you continue to be a concubine..."
"Snapped--!"
The old madam was so angry that she took two steps forward and slapped her hard: "You bastard!" She was trembling with anger. She was supposed to be an outsider to straighten her body, and she had received so many gossips. She never thought that her granddaughter would mention this!
Lin Xiyu is now rushing to her head, not thinking so much, covering her face aggrievedly: "Lin Zisu did all these things, grandma probably knew about it long ago. I knew it, you only care about the second room, and you don't care about the big one at all. The people in the house took it seriously. My elder brother was offended by them and I was almost ruined by her, and I'm afraid the next step will be to kill our big house!" After she finished speaking, she cried and ran out. The old lady was left alone so angry that she almost fainted, but thinking about it carefully, Lin Zisu's movements were indeed too much.
"Come on, go and invite Miss Fourth to come to my room." The old lady said coldly after finally recovering her breath.
"Old lady, it's getting late now..."
"Drag her here even if you want to drag her!" The old lady was so angry that she slapped the table, watched the old woman go, and then looked gloomyly at the "lively" flower hall just now, gritted her teeth, what to do next, It must come quietly, and if people like the third bedroom of the Lin family stay, it will be a disaster sooner or later.
She thought for a while, then looked at another confidant woman: "The girl who invited King Ning is from Lin Jinhua's side?"
"Yes, it's called Bai Lan. The third lady brought it from her mother's house before." The old woman hurriedly said.
The old lady nodded with a gloomy face: "This girl is too courageous, and it would be a disaster if she kept it. Find a chance to deal with it."
The old woman shrank her neck slightly, looked at the old lady's dark eyes, and nodded.
Lin Jinhua silently followed behind Zhao Huaiyan who was walking forward without saying a word, seeing his steady gait gradually faltering, she frowned slightly: "My lord..."
"Help me..." Zhao Huaiyan finally stopped when he reached a place where no one was around.
Lin Jinhua hurried forward, but found that his whole body was very hot, and he could feel it through the slightly cool clothes, and his eyes were full of struggle and desire.
This reflects that she seems to have seen it somewhere...
By the way, she was in the same state when she gave Zheng Yecheng the love potion. Could it be that he was also tricked?
"You..." Lin Jinhua just opened his mouth, but Zhao Huaiyan's face suddenly approached. In his eyes, Lin Jinhua's wet eyes when he looked at him, and his slightly parted red lips seemed to invite him, making him even hotter. But after getting close, what flashed in his mind was her cold eyes after he kissed her last time.
He staggered her face, only hugged her tightly in his arms, and said carefully: "Just for a while."
Lin Jinhua couldn't tell what it was like, he was very hot, and her hot breath fell on her neck, repeatedly, the bad memories of her previous life made her not want to have any closer contact with men, and Zhao Huaiyan had a hidden disease?Even if she was drugged with a love potion, such a thing should not happen.
She paused, and said, "My lord, it's getting late..."
"I know." Zhao Huaiyan only felt that she was like a piece of cold ice, and it was very comfortable for him to hold her in his arms at the moment, but he was unwilling to force her: "You were so alienated from me in the previous life, and you are still the same in this life."
Lin Jinhua tightly clenched her hands hanging in her long sleeves, past life?He is also reborn?But in the previous life, she didn't have much communication with this prince who didn't show up often, so how could he say such a thing?
Looking at the surprise and doubt in her eyes, Zhao Huaiyan knew that the past life and the present life were all his wishful thinking.
The corners of his thin lips curled up slightly, and he gently rubbed her forehead: "I'm going on a long trip in a few days, so you have to be careful."
Lin Jinhua blurted out to ask him where he was going, but somehow swallowed the words on his lips, and only nodded, watching him leave.
Lin Zisu came to the old lady's flower hall in the middle of the night. She didn't expect the matter to develop to this point. The grandmother who always loved her became very serious. She carefully looked at the dignified person with her forehead propped up, and said softly: "Grandma, Zisu doesn't know about this..."
"You're so smart, how come you don't know?" The old lady said coldly, looking at her granddaughter who had always been partial to her. Although she was beautiful, her aura was far behind Lin Jinhua.
Lin Zisu immediately knelt on the ground: "The granddaughter really doesn't know. After Chuntao's younger sister was punished by you last time, she felt resentful towards her granddaughter. This time, the man she was looking for was also her younger sister's best friend at that time. If I knew , how could you allow her to attack big sister?"
Seeing her sincere expression, the old lady was also shaken in her heart.
"Is it really not you?" She hesitated.
Lin Zisu shook her head, tears fell like broken beads, she was so pitiful: "Grandmother knows about Zisu, although Zisu is a bit smart, but she never dared to do anything cruel, and Zisu Su is timid, how dare she do all these actions behind her back."
The old lady became more and more hesitant. Compared with the first room, the second room was indeed more peaceful and filial. Now the first room was flying around, but the second room was still quiet.
After thinking about it, she looked at her pale face, and in the end she just raised her hand: "Forget it, King Zuo Ning didn't continue to pursue this matter, so let's stop this matter, otherwise, if it gets out, we will think that we are bullying her as an orphan girl." .”
Lin Zisu's eyes dimmed, she rolled her eyeballs slightly, and asked doubtfully, "Then grandma means that she will treat Seventh Sister well in the future?"
"She is the Queen Concubine-to-be on the surface, so she can't move." The old lady said coldly, looking at the dark sky outside, she took a deep breath: "If she really becomes Princess Ning, I'm afraid it will be a disaster..."
"Granddaughter understands." Lin Zisu felt relieved when she saw that the old lady didn't really want to let her go.
The old lady felt tired, and tomorrow she just waited for the news from Concubine De, it would be best if Concubine De canceled the marriage by taking advantage of that nanny.
As the night passed, the quiet capital began to become lively again, and the atmosphere in the palace seemed a little tense.
Concubine De looked at Elder Lin who had been waiting all night with a gloomy expression, while Zhao Kan sat on one side with the same unhappy expression.
"Lord Lin waited all night, he must have something very important to report to this concubine." Concubine De flicked the tea in her hand and said coldly.
Mr. Lin wondered why Mrs. Dingnan Hou was still sitting next to him, but he didn't think much about it, and just said what he had planned earlier: "This child, Jinhua, whose biological mother passed away, has his father and brother taught him by his side, and his personality has also changed. The paranoid has become vicious, and the humble minister has been counted on her, she is extremely shady, and she only restrains those close to her. Before her biological mother was killed, and then her elder brother was killed, and now we who are close to her are restless..."
Hearing this, Zhao Kan sneered, and said with a bit of disdain: "Master Lin has not received the news that General Lin has won the battle, captured the enemy leader, and rescued the third son of the Lin family? In this way, Miss Lin Qi It seems that the reputation of punishment cannot stand." He was indeed using Lin Jinhua, but he was even more disgusted that the Lin family wanted to use him.
Mr. Lin was slightly taken aback, he really hadn't heard the news: "I really don't know." He defended awkwardly, and then listened to Concubine De say: "Mrs. Someone dragged my concubine's nanny away, but you said that Miss Seven forced her to jump into the lake to die, who should I trust?"
Master Lin's complexion was slightly green, and he was speechless in surprise.
Mrs. Dingnanhou just glanced at him, and said with a perfunctory smile: "If I knew that Master Lin was going to sue my own niece and daughter, I wouldn't have come to the palace."
Mr. Lin couldn't tell that this was irony, so he quickly bowed his head and smiled, "Ma'am, you are serious. I am just worried that Jinhua will delay Lord Ning's fortune..."
Concubine De raised her chin slightly when she heard this, if so, then it would be the best, it would be best to kill King Ning!
She only had a faint smile on her face, and gently stroked the luxurious pearls on her sleeves with her nails painted with big red Koudan, and said: "Master Lin has a heart, and that nanny is not an important person, she will die when she dies. Concubine, I heard that you are now an official residence of the sixth-grade Dianyi?"
"Yes." Mr. Lin always felt that something was wrong, he hesitated to answer, and then listened to Concubine De leisurely said: "I remember that there is a shortage of horse drinking errands in the palace, but from the fifth rank, you will go there from now on Be on errand."
Drinking horses?
Mr. Lin felt dizzy for a while. Although he was from the fifth grade, he was just washing horses and picking horse dung in the racecourse outside the palace.
He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, but Zhao Kan sarcastically said: "Why, the Lin family doesn't like the nanny sent by the mother and concubine, and they want to get rid of them quickly, and the officials who are rewarded now don't like it either?"
When Elder Lin heard this, he knew that today he had offended Concubine De completely by stealing a lot of money, so he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly kowtowed and retreated.
Mrs. Dingnan Hou saw that things were about the same, she immediately resigned, and when everyone left, Concubine De lowered her face.
"What do the Lin family think of themselves? They just relied on Lin Luzhi's military achievements to gain a place in the capital, yet they don't know how to plot against this concubine." Concubine De snorted coldly.
Zhao Kan was puzzled: "Why didn't the concubine mother take this opportunity to ask the emperor to call off their marriage?"
"Your father is a smart man. If Lin Jinzheng's unkind request to annul the engagement, can he still promise it to you? It's better to give her a favor, so that the idiots of the Lin family can recognize their status. The last palace banquet My concubine hasn't bothered with them yet!" Concubine De was furious when she thought of the Lin family, and seeing this, Zhao Kan decided to say no more.
When the news reached Lin's residence, Bai Lan Cai'er was relieved, looked at Lin Jinhua who was sitting in front of the dressing table, and said happily, "It's a good thing Defei is not confused."
Lin Jinhua didn't refute, just smiled slightly, but knew that it must not be the reason for Concubine De, most likely because of the witness of the Dingnanhou Mansion, she couldn't do anything.
"Quietly ask Mr. Murong to prescribe some medicine for nourishing the body. It should be different from those imperial physicians in the palace. After prescribing it, send it to Dingnanhou's Mansion." She looked at the sky outside. Covered in silver, the skinny old tree was finally crushed, but no one was there to clean it up.
"Yes." Bai Lan happily replied, and hurriedly went out to get ready.
After breakfast, Lin Jinhua led Cai'er out.The old lady was so angry that half of her life died, and she couldn't care about her anymore.
After going out and getting into the carriage, Cai'er asked: "Miss is going to see Mrs. Hou?"
Lin Jinhua shook her head, and pulled out a note with a name written on it from her sleeve. This was something she suddenly remembered after saying goodbye to Zhao Huaiyan last night.Zhao Huaiyan's biggest opponent back then was Zhao Kan who was supported by all parties, and Zhao Kan had an extremely cunning and ruthless counselor who almost killed Zhao Huaiyan several times. In this day and age, he should still be bullied in that place.
The back and forth alleys, the dirty water flows across the ground, it seems that the pure white snow cannot fall to this place, this is the most chaotic and poor corner of the capital, and all the poor people from outside live here, Jiang Qingshu is one of them.
He was wrapped in a coat that was so dirty that he couldn't see the color, and the family begged: "My mother is only a tael short of the medicine, everyone, please lend me some, and I will pass the entrance examination next year." , I will definitely repay you twice."
The slightly fat aunt spat at him contemptuously: "As poor as you are, you can still participate in the Spring Festival? Your mother has lived enough, and she deserves to die. You dragged him out earlier and buried him, so as not to be dirty." My house."
"That's right, don't give us bad luck."
"A poor scholar, a big man is now begging like a beggar, ten years of hard work has been read in the stomach of a dog..."
The neighbors began to criticize each other. The big guys pooled money to live in a large courtyard, and Jiang Qingshu and her son lived in a leaky side house. All these curses fell into the ears of the poor old woman. With red eyes, he stretched out his hand towards Jiang Qingshu: "Son, that's all, mother is a poor life, just go as soon as you go."
Jiang Qingshu's eyes were red, and Dang even knelt down in the courtyard and kowtowed to all parties: "I only ask for alms from everyone to save my mother's life; I only ask for alms from everyone to save my mother's life..."
He choked with sobs and kept begging, only for the one tael of silver to buy medicine, and it would be better to buy some quilts that are not damp and can keep warm.
Cai'er, who was watching from a distance outside the house, had a sore nose: "Miss, are we here to look for him?"
Lin Jinhua looked at Jiang Qingshu indifferently. She never knew that such a vicious and surly person in her previous life was actually such a filial person. She even wondered if there were other reasons for those members of the Lin family, but she quickly denied that those white-eyed wolves of the Lin family, they There is only profit in the eyes!
The neighbors' ridicule became louder and louder, and Jiang Qingshu's kowtow became slower and slower. His forehead was already blood red, and he hadn't eaten a grain of rice for three days, and now he is only half breathed.
He looked blankly and desperately at the indifferent and sarcastic face and eyes that were getting blurred in front of him, looked at his dying mother, and finally fell to the ground exhausted.
Everyone watched, but no one planned to come to help.
The hatred in Jiang Qingshu's heart slowly gathered until a pair of delicate embroidered shoes came before him.
He saw the white peach petals on the embroidered shoes, and the plain white but excellent long skirt, but he couldn't see the face of the person coming, so he fainted heavily.
When Madam Hou received the prescription from Bai Lan, she was pleasantly surprised and surprised: "Miss Qi prescribed these?"
Bai Lan shook her head, and answered according to what Lin Jinhua had ordered before: "Miss sees illnesses entirely by fate, but she can't prescribe a prescription. This prescription was taken by Miss from an old friend, Madam, please rest assured."
"Then this old friend is..." Mrs. Hou continued to ask, but she saw Bai Lan shaking her head with a smile: "Miss said, when the time comes, I will tell Madam." After saying that, she left with a smile.
Mrs. Hou was convinced by her being so mysterious, and hurriedly sent someone to stew the medicine.
At this moment in Prince Ning's Mansion, Zhao Huaiyan looked at Murong Chen who was about to leave after applying the needle, and said calmly, "Let's go tomorrow."
"Let's go?" Murong Chen looked blank.
Gao Ji immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Both General Lin and Mr. Lin were seriously injured. If Mr. Murong doesn't mind, you can go and treat them. Although the emperor stipulates that you cannot leave the capital, the prince will arrange it. I followed the prince out of the city to hunt, and ran into General Lin by chance. General Lin has made great achievements, so it is much easier to intercede for you. As for the Ministry of punishment, the prince will take care of it for you."
Murong Chen was stunned. He thought that King Ning was very cold-tempered, and he probably wouldn't want to go to Murong's family. He never thought that everything had been arranged.
He respectfully stood up to salute, and saw Zhao Huaiyan get up calmly: "I will take care of the person my concubine told me." After finishing speaking, he walked away.
The corners of Gao Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, is the prince declaring his sovereignty?
Murong Chen's drooping eyes really became complicated, even though he was not around, he still finished the salute respectfully.After leaving Prince Ning's mansion, he took out the jade pendant that he had always kept in his palm. It was left to him by his mother, and he planned to give it to Miss Lin as a thank you gift.
After thinking about it, he closed his eyes deeply and took a deep breath, and put away the jade pendant, maybe that woman was not what he should have thought of in the first place.
It was already past noon when Lin Jinhua returned to the Lin Mansion, but when she returned to Luoxia Garden, Bai Lan, who should have come back long ago, was nowhere to be seen. She asked the servants in the courtyard, but all of them seemed to be indifferent. I went to look for it, but I never thought that Mr. Lin would find it by himself.
It was the first time Elder Lin came here, and when he saw the elegant layout of the room, he snorted, "It's very sour."
Cai'er's hand holding the tea paused slightly, and she couldn't help but said: "Madam comes from a scholarly family, such an arrangement is most suitable for a rich family..."
"When will it be your turn to talk here?" Mr. Lin trembled with anger when he thought that his good sixth-grade etiquette had turned into a drinking horse. down.
Cai'er couldn't dodge in time, she was beaten and fell to the ground, hot tea was splashed on her body, she burst into tears even in pain.
Lin Jinhua tightly clenched her hands hanging in her sleeves, but her expression was only indifferent: "Uncle has been promoted, why are you still so angry?" She turned and looked at Cai'er: "Go down."
Cai'er was worried, but seeing her serious eyes, she could only grit her teeth and back away.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lin thought that Lin Jinhua was just a little girl after all, so he was afraid of himself, so he puffed up his chest and sat on the first seat carelessly, and said with a sneer, "You are still a man of manners..."
"The eldest sister and the second brother don't know etiquette. Although Jinhua is young, if he doesn't understand the rules, wouldn't it be a joke that the Lin family is just a reckless man who climbed up on the ridge?" Lin Jinhua smiled shyly, which made people completely see It's not sarcastic.
Grandpa Lin's complexion turned green and pale, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he held back his words after a long while: "Tomorrow your elder sister has a party, you go with her, and you can get to know some ladies from the capital."
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't know about this gathering, but judging from what he said in person, there must be other purposes, just as a reason: "Tomorrow Jinhua wants to go up the mountain to pray for his brother and father."
"Pray for blessings?" Elder Lin frowned, and heard her say again: "Uncle said that Jinhua was punished, and he also wanted to go to the mountain to practice for a few days."
Master Lin's complexion became more and more ugly, and he just said stiffly: "You don't have to worry about praying for blessings. I will invite the best masters in the capital to come to the mansion to perform rituals in a few days. Tomorrow you will go to the banquet with Xiyu, but tomorrow Master Zhang and Prince Ning from Jingzhao Mansion will both go, your eldest aunt is still in prison, and your second brother is also being entangled by people from the Zheng Mansion, you will see King Ning tomorrow and ask him to help deal with it." In his opinion, all these troubles can be solved as long as Lin Jinhua speaks to King Ning, but he doesn't think why Lin Jinhua opened the mouth at all.
Lin Jinhua's eyes were bent into crescent moons, hiding the surging light in her eyes, and smiled slightly: "It would be great if His Highness Prince Ning is willing to help."
"I'm willing to help." Elder Lin gave her a cold look: "If not, I'm afraid he really doesn't take you seriously, so you can figure it out."
Lin Jinhua saw that he looked determined to eat himself, and her smile became brighter: "Uncle, don't worry, Jinhua will definitely do his best!" Trying his best to get the government to sentence him as soon as possible, and let the Zheng family kill him.
Seeing that she was very obedient from beginning to end, Mr. Lin always felt that the suffocation in his heart hadn't let out at all, but he didn't think much, got up and left.
After he left, Cai'er ran in quietly, and was relieved to see Lin Jinhua who was not injured.
Lin Jinyu looked at her but shook her head helplessly: "In the future, we must not be reckless. Now they are looking at King Ning's face, at most they are trying to be brave, and they dare not do anything to me."
"Your servant understands." Cai'er pursed her lips aggrievedly.
Lin Jinhua knew that she hadn't listened to everything she had to say, so she didn't continue talking, and only asked him to look for Bailan, but it wasn't until nightfall that Bailan was nowhere to be found, and Lin Jinhua knew something had happened.
Cai'er was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Someone said that Bai Lan was taken away by the old lady's people after she came back in the morning, miss, will the old lady be angry because she went to invite Prince Ning privately last night?" Punish Bai Lan!"
Standing by the door, Lin Jinhua looked at the stillness of the night, and all the murderous intent that had been restrained a little came out again: "Go and get the "Four Virtues" that Xu's family sent a few years ago."
"The Xu family's things are all locked in the small warehouse, can I get something else?" Cai'er panicked.
Lin Jinhua stared deeply at the cold and ruthless night, and her voice was like ice: "Madam seems to have forgotten that even if the Xu family was exiled from Beijing, the grandfather was once the imperial tutor and the emperor's teacher. You The contracts with Bai Lan are all in the Xu family, bullying you is bullying the Xu family, no matter how the Xu family falls, how can she deal with it?"
Cai'er has long been used to the lady's shocking words, but now she hesitates: "Miss, are you going this time to tear face with the old lady because of the servants?"
The corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth slightly raised, and she winked at her: "Go and make one for me, and she won't care about tearing my face apart."
"what's up?"
"Continue to burn the unfinished fire in the ancestral hall yesterday." Perhaps the old lady should not continue to occupy the position of Mrs. Lin's wife!
(End of this chapter)
Lin Xiyu was a little timid, but she was ruthless and stupid enough. When she thought that she might become a princess-to-be, she also put Lin Jinhua's warning to the back of her mind.
It began to snow slowly at night, and Lin Jinhua knelt on the cold bluestone slab and looked at the ancestors in the ancestral hall, with no respect in her heart, especially her late grandfather.If he hadn't Fu Lao Furen, who had given birth to two sons in front of the main room, was the upper class in the outer room, he wouldn't have allowed Daddy, an upright son, to be bullied so far!
Cai'er and Bai Lan were stopped outside the ancestral hall, looking at their thin bodies, their voices were almost hoarse from crying.
"What should I do? If this continues, even if Miss's plan works, I'm afraid my body won't be able to survive." Cai'er was anxious.
Bai Lan tried her best to calm herself down, thought for a while, then looked at Cai'er resolutely and said, "You stay here to guard the young lady, I'll go find the prince."
"Prince Ning? Will he take care of our lady?" Cai'er didn't know much, only that the prince was withdrawn and difficult to get in touch with, and she didn't know if this marriage was a good thing.
Bai Lan didn't know either, but she had to try.
"We have no one else to rely on." After finishing speaking, he quietly looked at the woman who was guarding the door, turned around and ran away quickly.
As the night gradually deepened, the woman guarding the ancestral hall looked at Lin Jinhua who was kneeling with her back straight, shook her head and went back to rest.
Cai'er could only wait outside anxiously, unaware that Chuntao had sneaked into Lin's mansion with someone at this moment.
In Prince Ning's Mansion, when Gao Zhi saw Bai Lan, whose face was blue with cold, he was a little surprised: "Why are you here at this time?"
Bai Lan didn't care about the cold, and hurriedly begged: "My lord, please go and save my young lady, otherwise my young lady's life will be lost."
"How could this be?" Gao Zhi looked in the direction of the backyard and seemed a little embarrassed.
Bai Lan talked about everything that happened during the day, and only skipped the matter of the people who deliberately left Dingnanhou's mansion.
After Gao Ting listened, his face darkened: "The Lin family is too ignorant, they don't know that the Lin family has relied on Miss Seven's father these years."
"If they knew what's good and what's wrong, Madam wouldn't be unhappy all day long." Bai Lan burst into tears, almost knelt down by Gao Zhi.
While Gao Zhi was hesitating, suddenly a black figure came out from behind and said coldly, "Lead the way!"
"My lord!" Gao Jin whispered, and hurried forward to help, but Zhao Huaiyan withdrew his hand coldly, but said worriedly: "You were drugged like that today. I'm afraid it will..."
"It's okay. Go find Murong Chen and wait in the mansion." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, he turned and left.Bai Lan looked at Gao Tian with a worried expression on her face, wanted to ask but was worried about Lin Jinhua, so she gritted her teeth and turned around to follow.
The Lin Mansion at this time.
Lin Xiyu tossed and turned in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep for a long time. Because she was so excited, she hoped that the morning would dawn earlier and she would receive the imperial decree of marriage sooner.
After thinking for a while, he sat up again: "Come on, let's go to the ancestral hall!"
The servant girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked puzzledly: "Miss, it's very cold outside, what are you going out for now?"
Lin Xiyu looked at the heavy snow and the strong wind blowing outside, and snorted softly: "Seventh Sister's face is getting better and better, if Prince Ning insists on asking her to be a concubine, what should I do?" Then, he asked someone to take a sharp object in his hand, and led the maid to quietly go to the ancestral hall.
Chuntao and the others had already entered the ancestral hall through the low courtyard wall, but she didn't know if the concierge was careless, the candles in the ancestral hall were all extinguished at this moment, and she couldn't see her fingers.
Chuntao thought for a while, pointed to the direction of the front door and whispered: "Today, she is the only one in the ancestral hall, so go and come back quickly, don't get caught."
The man with the scar behind her smiled lewdly: "You can rest assured that I will handle the matter."
Chuntao gritted her teeth, her sister was kicked out of the capital, he was so eager to do these things with women, he was really ungrateful.
The resentment in my heart is resentment, and I can't delay the master's affairs.When the man left, he found a corner and waited quietly, but he didn't know that Lin Jinhua was no longer there.She has seen many of these tricks in her previous life, so how could she not guard against them in this life?Even Lin Xiyu might as well be on guard against Lin Zisu who has been waiting in the dark for an opportunity.
She hid under the altar and waited. Seeing the dark shadow outside, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she was ready to go to sleep with peace of mind. She never thought that there was a creak from the door.With the help of the lantern she brought, she managed to see clearly that it was Lin Xiyu!
The man also heard the movement, and hurriedly hid to the side. According to Chuntao, only Lin Jinhua would appear here, so he secretly geared up!
Lin Xiyu left the maid outside the courtyard, and was about to go up to make a move quietly, but suddenly a person rushed up behind her, covered her mouth tightly and wrapped her arms around her waist, and gnawed her neck directly with one mouth.
Lin Jinhua looked at the twisted body, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen. She looked at the fire pocket she had hidden, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
The fire in the ancestral hall started from the backyard, and the men in the front yard didn't notice it at all. When they found out, the concierge's wife had already woken up, and Cai'er, who had just returned to Luoxia Garden to pick up a thick cotton coat, also started to shout.
He took off half of his trousers and was about to run in the direction of Chuntao. At some point, another woman jumped out of the ancestral hall, and he was so frightened that he lost his soul immediately.
"You...you are Lian'er's best friend?" Lin Jinhua pretended to be surprised and exclaimed.
When Chuntao heard her voice, she knew that the man had done something bad, so she turned around and was about to leave first, but the people outside chased her in.
Chuntao winked at the man, and cruelly went forward and dragged Lin Jinhua into the ancestral hall, intending to burn her alive, and the man also took the opportunity to sneak towards the back door.
Lin Jinhua never thought that Chuntao had such great strength at this moment, and she thought she was determined to die.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, Cai'er saw the raging fire, she was red-eyed and was about to rush in but was stopped by someone, and then she saw a black figure rushing inside quickly.
"Hua'er—!"
When Zhao Huaiyan saw Lin Jinhua who was being strangled and pushed into the fire, his heart was about to jump out.The heart-piercing pain in the dream is now more clear, making him regret why he didn't send someone to guard him personally, and let her suffer such a crime!
When Chuntao heard the sound, she increased the strength in her hands. Lin Jinhua only felt that the feeling of dying from poison pouring down her throat in her previous life was coming again, which made her lose all strength and fell into a strange trembling and despair until Zhao Huaiyan knocked Chuntao out, and hugged her horizontally in his arms.
"Hua'er..." Zhao Huaiyan looked at the extremely fragile person at the moment, with despair and resentment written in his eyes, and he picked it up in distress for a moment.
Lin Jinhua looked at his red eyes and pale face, his cold heart seemed to be warmed up: "You are here..."
"Before... I should have been here all the time." Zhao Huaiyan hugged her tightly, listening to the noise outside, his face was rather cold.
Lin Jinhua didn't know which past he was talking about, and she didn't have the heart to think about it now. If everyone from outside came, then her plan would come true.It will be a matter of time before the big house and the second house are at odds.
When the old lady heard that Bailan had invited King Ning, she was so frightened that she almost jumped out of bed, and hurried to the scene surrounded by fire, just in time to see Zhao Huaiyan carrying her out.She glanced at Lin Xiyu, who was in ragged clothes and was crying bitterly. She frowned slightly, and hurriedly pretended to be worried to greet Lin Jinhua: "Jinhua, are you okay? What's wrong?"
Lin Jinhua didn't pierce her mask, and quietly tugged on Zhao Huaiyan's sleeve. Zhao Huaiyan put her down knowingly. Seeing that she had no other scars except for the bruise around her neck, she felt relieved. She just pulled him With the little intimacy of the sleeves, suddenly, I just felt a mouthful of honey poured into my heart, it was so sweet.
"Jinhua was kneeling outside the ancestral hall as ordered by her grandmother, but it was cold today, so she hid quietly inside. When night fell, she heard men and women outside..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Xiyu retorted with a pale face: "I just came to see you, but I met someone who didn't know what to do, and I didn't get hurt..."
With Lin Xiyu's explanation, the old lady wished she could slap her twice, how could she be so stupid.
She quickly looked at Zhao Huaiyan, and said cautiously: "My lord, maybe a thief broke in..."
Before she could finish her sentence, someone had already caught the man with his pants up. He had a scar on the left side of his face and his upper body was still open.
When Lin Xiyu saw him, she was so angry that she wanted to jump up and kill him, but when she was stopped, the old lady said coldly: "Take him down first, and interrogate tomorrow." She didn't want to lose face in front of King Ning.
Zhao Huaiyan cast a cold glance at the servant, stepped forward to block Lin Jinhua's gaze, and said coldly, "Now for trial."
What he said obviously meant that he was in control, and the old lady was also surprised. Could it be that King Ning really cares about Lin Jinhua so much?
She made some calculations in her heart, and she wanted to refuse, but Zhao Huaiyan acted as if she would never leave without interrogation, so she had to compromise.
Not long after, Chuntao, who had fainted to death, was also carried out.
The man was also terrified, and he said like beans in a bamboo tube: "The little one also listened to Sister Chuntao's orders, and she said that she would deal with the people in the yard."
"Could it be that Zisu ordered you to come here?" Lin Xiyu was so angry that her little face almost twisted.Her innocence was almost ruined. Although the matter was not done, but if she said it, it would inevitably cause a joke, not to mention that King Ning is still here today.Thinking of this, she wished she could kill Lin Zisu.
The man shook his head: "I don't know if it's Miss Fourth, but Sister Chuntao..."
"Okay!" The old lady scolded, her heart was also very complicated.She doesn't mind dealing with Lin Jinhua, but if she doesn't let go of the big house, it will touch her bottom line.She looked at the man coldly, then turned to Zhao Huaiyan and said, "Prince Ning, how do you think about it? If this matter gets out, the young ladies of the Lin family will not look good."
Zhao Huaiyan frowned slightly and looked at Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua didn't expect that he would fight for his own opinion, but seeing his fists clenched tightly, his eyes were a little strange. Could it be that the injury on his body hasn't healed yet, and he can't stand it now?
"Break into Lin's residence at night, insulting the master's innocence, he should be killed." Lin Jinhua looked away calmly at the old lady.
The old lady was very surprised when she heard the word "Dangsha" faintly uttered. If she was not used to killing people, how could she say these two words casually, and there was no trace of disturbance, unlike Lin Xiyu who hated Gritting his teeth, there is only a faint indifference.
"Yes." Zhao Huaiyan agreed.
When the man heard this, he collapsed on the ground and begged for mercy.
The old lady lowered her eyes and raised her hand: "Drag it on." It was a death sentence.
After Chuntao was woken up by being splashed with cold water, she was about to bump into a pillar without saying a word.She will not betray Lin Zisu, because her family is still in her hands, but before she died, she stared at Lin Jinhua fiercely, as if she had forced her to death: "Miss Seven, even if this slave is a ghost, I won't let you go!" of!"
"Presumptuous!" Zhao Huaiyan seldom got angry, his phoenix eyes, which were never turbulent, were sullen, and the majestic murderous aura all over his body made everyone tremble, and he lowered his eyes and dared not make a sound.
Chuntao was taken aback for a moment, and then she was dragged out by someone covering her mouth. The old lady's complexion also darkened. The more King Ning cared about Lin Jinhua, the less she would be able to deal with the third bedroom quietly in the future. It's not a good thing.
Seeing that King Ning loved Lin Jinhua so much, Lin Xiyu was jealous and envious, and said pitifully with tears in her eyes: "Don't be angry, my lord. Xiyu will definitely take good care of Seventh Sister in the future."
The old lady also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be so angry, the matter of the Lin Mansion will be handled by the minister's wife."
Her meaning was very clear, outsiders don't need to intervene in the Lin family's affairs.
Zhao Huaiyan gave her a cold look, only feeling that the effect of the medicine in his body was getting stronger and stronger, he stood up reluctantly: "General Lin won this battle, and he will return to Beijing with Mr. Lin in a few days. This king will not interfere with the Lin family. Family matters, but Miss Seven is the future Concubine Ning, this king asks the old lady to take care of her, if there is such a villain again, this king will definitely die!"
The old lady looked at his stern side face with fear, and she could say that she would cut Lin Jinhua to death, and he said that Sanfang and his son were about to return victorious...
The old lady gritted her teeth but could only swallow it in her stomach, and smiled quickly.
Lin Jinhua was stunned, father will come back with brother?Brother is not dead?
"My lord..."
"My king is tired, send me out of the mansion." Zhao Huaiyan took a deep look at her, and walked away directly.
Lin Xiyu also wanted to follow. After all, such a courageous and handsome prince, no one wants to marry, but before he went out, Zhao Huaiyan said coldly: "Others don't need to follow."
Lin Xiyu's face froze, and she looked at Lin Jinhua who turned around and went out, her fingers were about to be pinched into the flesh of her palm, she turned her head and looked at the old lady beggingly: "Grandmother, you said that you want to marry me to His Royal Highness King Ning..."
The old lady glanced at her angrily: "Prince Ning's thoughts are all on Lin Jinhua now..."
"But if Sanfang triumphs and she becomes Concubine Ning again, they may not recognize your stepmother who has been raised up in the future. Maybe they will drive you out of the Lin Mansion and let you continue to be a concubine..."
"Snapped--!"
The old madam was so angry that she took two steps forward and slapped her hard: "You bastard!" She was trembling with anger. She was supposed to be an outsider to straighten her body, and she had received so many gossips. She never thought that her granddaughter would mention this!
Lin Xiyu is now rushing to her head, not thinking so much, covering her face aggrievedly: "Lin Zisu did all these things, grandma probably knew about it long ago. I knew it, you only care about the second room, and you don't care about the big one at all. The people in the house took it seriously. My elder brother was offended by them and I was almost ruined by her, and I'm afraid the next step will be to kill our big house!" After she finished speaking, she cried and ran out. The old lady was left alone so angry that she almost fainted, but thinking about it carefully, Lin Zisu's movements were indeed too much.
"Come on, go and invite Miss Fourth to come to my room." The old lady said coldly after finally recovering her breath.
"Old lady, it's getting late now..."
"Drag her here even if you want to drag her!" The old lady was so angry that she slapped the table, watched the old woman go, and then looked gloomyly at the "lively" flower hall just now, gritted her teeth, what to do next, It must come quietly, and if people like the third bedroom of the Lin family stay, it will be a disaster sooner or later.
She thought for a while, then looked at another confidant woman: "The girl who invited King Ning is from Lin Jinhua's side?"
"Yes, it's called Bai Lan. The third lady brought it from her mother's house before." The old woman hurriedly said.
The old lady nodded with a gloomy face: "This girl is too courageous, and it would be a disaster if she kept it. Find a chance to deal with it."
The old woman shrank her neck slightly, looked at the old lady's dark eyes, and nodded.
Lin Jinhua silently followed behind Zhao Huaiyan who was walking forward without saying a word, seeing his steady gait gradually faltering, she frowned slightly: "My lord..."
"Help me..." Zhao Huaiyan finally stopped when he reached a place where no one was around.
Lin Jinhua hurried forward, but found that his whole body was very hot, and he could feel it through the slightly cool clothes, and his eyes were full of struggle and desire.
This reflects that she seems to have seen it somewhere...
By the way, she was in the same state when she gave Zheng Yecheng the love potion. Could it be that he was also tricked?
"You..." Lin Jinhua just opened his mouth, but Zhao Huaiyan's face suddenly approached. In his eyes, Lin Jinhua's wet eyes when he looked at him, and his slightly parted red lips seemed to invite him, making him even hotter. But after getting close, what flashed in his mind was her cold eyes after he kissed her last time.
He staggered her face, only hugged her tightly in his arms, and said carefully: "Just for a while."
Lin Jinhua couldn't tell what it was like, he was very hot, and her hot breath fell on her neck, repeatedly, the bad memories of her previous life made her not want to have any closer contact with men, and Zhao Huaiyan had a hidden disease?Even if she was drugged with a love potion, such a thing should not happen.
She paused, and said, "My lord, it's getting late..."
"I know." Zhao Huaiyan only felt that she was like a piece of cold ice, and it was very comfortable for him to hold her in his arms at the moment, but he was unwilling to force her: "You were so alienated from me in the previous life, and you are still the same in this life."
Lin Jinhua tightly clenched her hands hanging in her long sleeves, past life?He is also reborn?But in the previous life, she didn't have much communication with this prince who didn't show up often, so how could he say such a thing?
Looking at the surprise and doubt in her eyes, Zhao Huaiyan knew that the past life and the present life were all his wishful thinking.
The corners of his thin lips curled up slightly, and he gently rubbed her forehead: "I'm going on a long trip in a few days, so you have to be careful."
Lin Jinhua blurted out to ask him where he was going, but somehow swallowed the words on his lips, and only nodded, watching him leave.
Lin Zisu came to the old lady's flower hall in the middle of the night. She didn't expect the matter to develop to this point. The grandmother who always loved her became very serious. She carefully looked at the dignified person with her forehead propped up, and said softly: "Grandma, Zisu doesn't know about this..."
"You're so smart, how come you don't know?" The old lady said coldly, looking at her granddaughter who had always been partial to her. Although she was beautiful, her aura was far behind Lin Jinhua.
Lin Zisu immediately knelt on the ground: "The granddaughter really doesn't know. After Chuntao's younger sister was punished by you last time, she felt resentful towards her granddaughter. This time, the man she was looking for was also her younger sister's best friend at that time. If I knew , how could you allow her to attack big sister?"
Seeing her sincere expression, the old lady was also shaken in her heart.
"Is it really not you?" She hesitated.
Lin Zisu shook her head, tears fell like broken beads, she was so pitiful: "Grandmother knows about Zisu, although Zisu is a bit smart, but she never dared to do anything cruel, and Zisu Su is timid, how dare she do all these actions behind her back."
The old lady became more and more hesitant. Compared with the first room, the second room was indeed more peaceful and filial. Now the first room was flying around, but the second room was still quiet.
After thinking about it, she looked at her pale face, and in the end she just raised her hand: "Forget it, King Zuo Ning didn't continue to pursue this matter, so let's stop this matter, otherwise, if it gets out, we will think that we are bullying her as an orphan girl." .”
Lin Zisu's eyes dimmed, she rolled her eyeballs slightly, and asked doubtfully, "Then grandma means that she will treat Seventh Sister well in the future?"
"She is the Queen Concubine-to-be on the surface, so she can't move." The old lady said coldly, looking at the dark sky outside, she took a deep breath: "If she really becomes Princess Ning, I'm afraid it will be a disaster..."
"Granddaughter understands." Lin Zisu felt relieved when she saw that the old lady didn't really want to let her go.
The old lady felt tired, and tomorrow she just waited for the news from Concubine De, it would be best if Concubine De canceled the marriage by taking advantage of that nanny.
As the night passed, the quiet capital began to become lively again, and the atmosphere in the palace seemed a little tense.
Concubine De looked at Elder Lin who had been waiting all night with a gloomy expression, while Zhao Kan sat on one side with the same unhappy expression.
"Lord Lin waited all night, he must have something very important to report to this concubine." Concubine De flicked the tea in her hand and said coldly.
Mr. Lin wondered why Mrs. Dingnan Hou was still sitting next to him, but he didn't think much about it, and just said what he had planned earlier: "This child, Jinhua, whose biological mother passed away, has his father and brother taught him by his side, and his personality has also changed. The paranoid has become vicious, and the humble minister has been counted on her, she is extremely shady, and she only restrains those close to her. Before her biological mother was killed, and then her elder brother was killed, and now we who are close to her are restless..."
Hearing this, Zhao Kan sneered, and said with a bit of disdain: "Master Lin has not received the news that General Lin has won the battle, captured the enemy leader, and rescued the third son of the Lin family? In this way, Miss Lin Qi It seems that the reputation of punishment cannot stand." He was indeed using Lin Jinhua, but he was even more disgusted that the Lin family wanted to use him.
Mr. Lin was slightly taken aback, he really hadn't heard the news: "I really don't know." He defended awkwardly, and then listened to Concubine De say: "Mrs. Someone dragged my concubine's nanny away, but you said that Miss Seven forced her to jump into the lake to die, who should I trust?"
Master Lin's complexion was slightly green, and he was speechless in surprise.
Mrs. Dingnanhou just glanced at him, and said with a perfunctory smile: "If I knew that Master Lin was going to sue my own niece and daughter, I wouldn't have come to the palace."
Mr. Lin couldn't tell that this was irony, so he quickly bowed his head and smiled, "Ma'am, you are serious. I am just worried that Jinhua will delay Lord Ning's fortune..."
Concubine De raised her chin slightly when she heard this, if so, then it would be the best, it would be best to kill King Ning!
She only had a faint smile on her face, and gently stroked the luxurious pearls on her sleeves with her nails painted with big red Koudan, and said: "Master Lin has a heart, and that nanny is not an important person, she will die when she dies. Concubine, I heard that you are now an official residence of the sixth-grade Dianyi?"
"Yes." Mr. Lin always felt that something was wrong, he hesitated to answer, and then listened to Concubine De leisurely said: "I remember that there is a shortage of horse drinking errands in the palace, but from the fifth rank, you will go there from now on Be on errand."
Drinking horses?
Mr. Lin felt dizzy for a while. Although he was from the fifth grade, he was just washing horses and picking horse dung in the racecourse outside the palace.
He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, but Zhao Kan sarcastically said: "Why, the Lin family doesn't like the nanny sent by the mother and concubine, and they want to get rid of them quickly, and the officials who are rewarded now don't like it either?"
When Elder Lin heard this, he knew that today he had offended Concubine De completely by stealing a lot of money, so he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly kowtowed and retreated.
Mrs. Dingnan Hou saw that things were about the same, she immediately resigned, and when everyone left, Concubine De lowered her face.
"What do the Lin family think of themselves? They just relied on Lin Luzhi's military achievements to gain a place in the capital, yet they don't know how to plot against this concubine." Concubine De snorted coldly.
Zhao Kan was puzzled: "Why didn't the concubine mother take this opportunity to ask the emperor to call off their marriage?"
"Your father is a smart man. If Lin Jinzheng's unkind request to annul the engagement, can he still promise it to you? It's better to give her a favor, so that the idiots of the Lin family can recognize their status. The last palace banquet My concubine hasn't bothered with them yet!" Concubine De was furious when she thought of the Lin family, and seeing this, Zhao Kan decided to say no more.
When the news reached Lin's residence, Bai Lan Cai'er was relieved, looked at Lin Jinhua who was sitting in front of the dressing table, and said happily, "It's a good thing Defei is not confused."
Lin Jinhua didn't refute, just smiled slightly, but knew that it must not be the reason for Concubine De, most likely because of the witness of the Dingnanhou Mansion, she couldn't do anything.
"Quietly ask Mr. Murong to prescribe some medicine for nourishing the body. It should be different from those imperial physicians in the palace. After prescribing it, send it to Dingnanhou's Mansion." She looked at the sky outside. Covered in silver, the skinny old tree was finally crushed, but no one was there to clean it up.
"Yes." Bai Lan happily replied, and hurriedly went out to get ready.
After breakfast, Lin Jinhua led Cai'er out.The old lady was so angry that half of her life died, and she couldn't care about her anymore.
After going out and getting into the carriage, Cai'er asked: "Miss is going to see Mrs. Hou?"
Lin Jinhua shook her head, and pulled out a note with a name written on it from her sleeve. This was something she suddenly remembered after saying goodbye to Zhao Huaiyan last night.Zhao Huaiyan's biggest opponent back then was Zhao Kan who was supported by all parties, and Zhao Kan had an extremely cunning and ruthless counselor who almost killed Zhao Huaiyan several times. In this day and age, he should still be bullied in that place.
The back and forth alleys, the dirty water flows across the ground, it seems that the pure white snow cannot fall to this place, this is the most chaotic and poor corner of the capital, and all the poor people from outside live here, Jiang Qingshu is one of them.
He was wrapped in a coat that was so dirty that he couldn't see the color, and the family begged: "My mother is only a tael short of the medicine, everyone, please lend me some, and I will pass the entrance examination next year." , I will definitely repay you twice."
The slightly fat aunt spat at him contemptuously: "As poor as you are, you can still participate in the Spring Festival? Your mother has lived enough, and she deserves to die. You dragged him out earlier and buried him, so as not to be dirty." My house."
"That's right, don't give us bad luck."
"A poor scholar, a big man is now begging like a beggar, ten years of hard work has been read in the stomach of a dog..."
The neighbors began to criticize each other. The big guys pooled money to live in a large courtyard, and Jiang Qingshu and her son lived in a leaky side house. All these curses fell into the ears of the poor old woman. With red eyes, he stretched out his hand towards Jiang Qingshu: "Son, that's all, mother is a poor life, just go as soon as you go."
Jiang Qingshu's eyes were red, and Dang even knelt down in the courtyard and kowtowed to all parties: "I only ask for alms from everyone to save my mother's life; I only ask for alms from everyone to save my mother's life..."
He choked with sobs and kept begging, only for the one tael of silver to buy medicine, and it would be better to buy some quilts that are not damp and can keep warm.
Cai'er, who was watching from a distance outside the house, had a sore nose: "Miss, are we here to look for him?"
Lin Jinhua looked at Jiang Qingshu indifferently. She never knew that such a vicious and surly person in her previous life was actually such a filial person. She even wondered if there were other reasons for those members of the Lin family, but she quickly denied that those white-eyed wolves of the Lin family, they There is only profit in the eyes!
The neighbors' ridicule became louder and louder, and Jiang Qingshu's kowtow became slower and slower. His forehead was already blood red, and he hadn't eaten a grain of rice for three days, and now he is only half breathed.
He looked blankly and desperately at the indifferent and sarcastic face and eyes that were getting blurred in front of him, looked at his dying mother, and finally fell to the ground exhausted.
Everyone watched, but no one planned to come to help.
The hatred in Jiang Qingshu's heart slowly gathered until a pair of delicate embroidered shoes came before him.
He saw the white peach petals on the embroidered shoes, and the plain white but excellent long skirt, but he couldn't see the face of the person coming, so he fainted heavily.
When Madam Hou received the prescription from Bai Lan, she was pleasantly surprised and surprised: "Miss Qi prescribed these?"
Bai Lan shook her head, and answered according to what Lin Jinhua had ordered before: "Miss sees illnesses entirely by fate, but she can't prescribe a prescription. This prescription was taken by Miss from an old friend, Madam, please rest assured."
"Then this old friend is..." Mrs. Hou continued to ask, but she saw Bai Lan shaking her head with a smile: "Miss said, when the time comes, I will tell Madam." After saying that, she left with a smile.
Mrs. Hou was convinced by her being so mysterious, and hurriedly sent someone to stew the medicine.
At this moment in Prince Ning's Mansion, Zhao Huaiyan looked at Murong Chen who was about to leave after applying the needle, and said calmly, "Let's go tomorrow."
"Let's go?" Murong Chen looked blank.
Gao Ji immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Both General Lin and Mr. Lin were seriously injured. If Mr. Murong doesn't mind, you can go and treat them. Although the emperor stipulates that you cannot leave the capital, the prince will arrange it. I followed the prince out of the city to hunt, and ran into General Lin by chance. General Lin has made great achievements, so it is much easier to intercede for you. As for the Ministry of punishment, the prince will take care of it for you."
Murong Chen was stunned. He thought that King Ning was very cold-tempered, and he probably wouldn't want to go to Murong's family. He never thought that everything had been arranged.
He respectfully stood up to salute, and saw Zhao Huaiyan get up calmly: "I will take care of the person my concubine told me." After finishing speaking, he walked away.
The corners of Gao Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, is the prince declaring his sovereignty?
Murong Chen's drooping eyes really became complicated, even though he was not around, he still finished the salute respectfully.After leaving Prince Ning's mansion, he took out the jade pendant that he had always kept in his palm. It was left to him by his mother, and he planned to give it to Miss Lin as a thank you gift.
After thinking about it, he closed his eyes deeply and took a deep breath, and put away the jade pendant, maybe that woman was not what he should have thought of in the first place.
It was already past noon when Lin Jinhua returned to the Lin Mansion, but when she returned to Luoxia Garden, Bai Lan, who should have come back long ago, was nowhere to be seen. She asked the servants in the courtyard, but all of them seemed to be indifferent. I went to look for it, but I never thought that Mr. Lin would find it by himself.
It was the first time Elder Lin came here, and when he saw the elegant layout of the room, he snorted, "It's very sour."
Cai'er's hand holding the tea paused slightly, and she couldn't help but said: "Madam comes from a scholarly family, such an arrangement is most suitable for a rich family..."
"When will it be your turn to talk here?" Mr. Lin trembled with anger when he thought that his good sixth-grade etiquette had turned into a drinking horse. down.
Cai'er couldn't dodge in time, she was beaten and fell to the ground, hot tea was splashed on her body, she burst into tears even in pain.
Lin Jinhua tightly clenched her hands hanging in her sleeves, but her expression was only indifferent: "Uncle has been promoted, why are you still so angry?" She turned and looked at Cai'er: "Go down."
Cai'er was worried, but seeing her serious eyes, she could only grit her teeth and back away.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lin thought that Lin Jinhua was just a little girl after all, so he was afraid of himself, so he puffed up his chest and sat on the first seat carelessly, and said with a sneer, "You are still a man of manners..."
"The eldest sister and the second brother don't know etiquette. Although Jinhua is young, if he doesn't understand the rules, wouldn't it be a joke that the Lin family is just a reckless man who climbed up on the ridge?" Lin Jinhua smiled shyly, which made people completely see It's not sarcastic.
Grandpa Lin's complexion turned green and pale, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he held back his words after a long while: "Tomorrow your elder sister has a party, you go with her, and you can get to know some ladies from the capital."
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't know about this gathering, but judging from what he said in person, there must be other purposes, just as a reason: "Tomorrow Jinhua wants to go up the mountain to pray for his brother and father."
"Pray for blessings?" Elder Lin frowned, and heard her say again: "Uncle said that Jinhua was punished, and he also wanted to go to the mountain to practice for a few days."
Master Lin's complexion became more and more ugly, and he just said stiffly: "You don't have to worry about praying for blessings. I will invite the best masters in the capital to come to the mansion to perform rituals in a few days. Tomorrow you will go to the banquet with Xiyu, but tomorrow Master Zhang and Prince Ning from Jingzhao Mansion will both go, your eldest aunt is still in prison, and your second brother is also being entangled by people from the Zheng Mansion, you will see King Ning tomorrow and ask him to help deal with it." In his opinion, all these troubles can be solved as long as Lin Jinhua speaks to King Ning, but he doesn't think why Lin Jinhua opened the mouth at all.
Lin Jinhua's eyes were bent into crescent moons, hiding the surging light in her eyes, and smiled slightly: "It would be great if His Highness Prince Ning is willing to help."
"I'm willing to help." Elder Lin gave her a cold look: "If not, I'm afraid he really doesn't take you seriously, so you can figure it out."
Lin Jinhua saw that he looked determined to eat himself, and her smile became brighter: "Uncle, don't worry, Jinhua will definitely do his best!" Trying his best to get the government to sentence him as soon as possible, and let the Zheng family kill him.
Seeing that she was very obedient from beginning to end, Mr. Lin always felt that the suffocation in his heart hadn't let out at all, but he didn't think much, got up and left.
After he left, Cai'er ran in quietly, and was relieved to see Lin Jinhua who was not injured.
Lin Jinyu looked at her but shook her head helplessly: "In the future, we must not be reckless. Now they are looking at King Ning's face, at most they are trying to be brave, and they dare not do anything to me."
"Your servant understands." Cai'er pursed her lips aggrievedly.
Lin Jinhua knew that she hadn't listened to everything she had to say, so she didn't continue talking, and only asked him to look for Bailan, but it wasn't until nightfall that Bailan was nowhere to be found, and Lin Jinhua knew something had happened.
Cai'er was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Someone said that Bai Lan was taken away by the old lady's people after she came back in the morning, miss, will the old lady be angry because she went to invite Prince Ning privately last night?" Punish Bai Lan!"
Standing by the door, Lin Jinhua looked at the stillness of the night, and all the murderous intent that had been restrained a little came out again: "Go and get the "Four Virtues" that Xu's family sent a few years ago."
"The Xu family's things are all locked in the small warehouse, can I get something else?" Cai'er panicked.
Lin Jinhua stared deeply at the cold and ruthless night, and her voice was like ice: "Madam seems to have forgotten that even if the Xu family was exiled from Beijing, the grandfather was once the imperial tutor and the emperor's teacher. You The contracts with Bai Lan are all in the Xu family, bullying you is bullying the Xu family, no matter how the Xu family falls, how can she deal with it?"
Cai'er has long been used to the lady's shocking words, but now she hesitates: "Miss, are you going this time to tear face with the old lady because of the servants?"
The corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth slightly raised, and she winked at her: "Go and make one for me, and she won't care about tearing my face apart."
"what's up?"
"Continue to burn the unfinished fire in the ancestral hall yesterday." Perhaps the old lady should not continue to occupy the position of Mrs. Lin's wife!
