Chapter 38 Mantis Catching Cicadas
For a moment, Lin Zisu thought she had heard wrong, smiled, and looked at Huijue's voice, which was also a little cold: "Master, you can see clearly, I am Lin Zisu, the fourth miss, not Lin Jinhua, the seventh miss."

Zhao Kan also stood behind her, as if supporting her.

Huijue is very clear-headed, helping the second wife, the people in Yunshuijian will not only let his family members go, but also let his reputation be full. Since he can't have the best of both worlds, he can only choose the lesser of the two Even if he offended the Lin family and the third prince this time, the worst thing would be to pack up and leave.

He nodded and pointed to the compass in his hand: "The lone star of Tiansha can't restrain the closest relatives, but everyone other than the closest relatives can restrain each other."

"This..." Mrs. Dingnanhou hurriedly took a few steps back while clutching her unmoving stomach.

Zhao Kan frowned slightly, Lin Jinhua lightly looked at Lin Zisu who was wide-eyed with anger, and said lightly: "Jinhua doesn't believe that these punishments are not punishable, but if the fourth sister wants to twist her hair and leave with the third prince It's not easy for Jinhua to force her to be an aunt..."

Lin Zisu gritted her teeth as she looked at Huijue, who was not changing her words, and looked at the second lady in a panic, but Lin Xiyu took the opportunity to jump out and point at her and said, "Fourth sister, didn't you just want to get rid of the mansion?" Is it the person who punishes you, why is it your turn now, but you refuse to leave? Such hypocrisy, you really don’t look like the fairy-like Lin Zisu that others think. Could it be that those cute and sensible people in the past were just pretending? If so, Then you are really hypocritical."

Lin Zisu's face was flushed red, and her eyes were filled with mist, and the pity I saw made others hesitate.

The old patriarch was still stuck here, struggling to get up, and shouted: "You are all in collusion, this evil star is Lin Jinhua, Your Highness the Third Prince, take her away quickly, don't let her harm anyone here!"

Lin Xiyu snorted softly, and regardless of the unhealed injury on his back, he took the woman's handkerchief and covered his mouth: "I see that you are colluding with someone to frame Seventh Sister. Today If I report this series of incidents to the government and ask the government to investigate, I don’t believe that there will be no clues.” After she finished speaking, she admired her cleverness, and quickly turned her head to look at the servant girl: “Go to the government... ..."

"Okay, these are just misunderstandings, how can we spread the family ugliness." The second lady hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Xiyu, you are not married yet, if someone spreads gossip, how will you get married in the future?"

When Lin Xiyu heard this, she swallowed her unfinished words. She was quite concerned about this matter. She looked at Zhao Kan who had helped her in the Ninth Prince's Mansion that day, bit her lip slightly and looked over shyly: "Xiyu is just helping the seventh sister, the third prince can understand, right?"

Zhao Kan watched her flirtatiously, but his peripheral vision fell on Lin Jinhua who was standing quietly beside him.Her eyes were red as if she had cried, but her face was cold but she didn't show any signs of coercion. This appearance made people feel even more distressed. It's just that if you don't destroy her today, you won't be able to get her!

He glanced at Huijue coldly, and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to come to the Lin residence to talk nonsense, what crime do you know!"

Huijue didn't expect that he would point the finger at him, but he was not in vain all these years, and immediately said seriously: "Third Prince, how dare the poor monk talk nonsense, if His Highness doesn't believe it, you can go and find out the birth date of Miss Fourth , was born on the fourth day of the fourth lunar month, which is extremely cold, and her family has a fourth day, which is really unlucky."

"How do you know my birth date!" Lin Zisu interrupted directly.

Huijue glanced at her, clasped his hands together and recited Amitabha: "Monks don't tell lies, Miss Si's birth date was calculated by a poor monk."

"you--"

"Master is also tired today, why don't you go back to rest earlier, just now two people died here, maybe it disturbed Fengshui and I don't know." The second lady interrupted Lin Zisu, looked at Lan Qiu again, and said Well, what he said today is completely different from what he explained yesterday, maybe he was bought secretly, if he continues to stay, it will only cause bad things.

She looked at Lin Jinhua, who had never messed up from beginning to end, and felt even more suspicious.

Lan Qiu knowingly stepped forward to guide Huijue: "Master, please go this way."

Huijue glanced at Lin Jinhua quietly, clasped his hands together and said something, then looked at Lin Zisu and sighed, and then left.

Lin Xiyu was not reconciled to letting this matter go like this, she stepped forward and said, "Second Aunt, now that my mother was injured, maybe it was Zi Suke's, why don't you say a word now? Could it be because she is Your daughter, so you just let her conquer us?"

The second madam looked at her who was not forgiving, her heart was slightly cruel, but she could only speak kindly on her face: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run..."

"Since the second aunt can't make a decision..." Lin Jinhua interrupted her. Mr. Wen couldn't die in vain today, someone must pay the price. She looked up at her and smiled slightly: "Why don't you send the fourth sister to Changle Temple, It's good to clean up with grandma, and come back to the mansion after the evil spirit is gone."

"I'm not going!" Lin Zisu yelled as soon as she thought of the cold and desolate place in Changle Nunnery.

The second lady gave her a sneaky look, and she wanted to say more, Lin Xiyu also nodded quickly: "Seventh sister is kind-hearted. Fourth sister said at the beginning that she was going to twist her hair."

Lin Zisu's face turned red, and she turned her head to look at Zhao Kan as if asking for help: "Third Prince, isn't your daughter..."

"The left and right grandmothers have only been practicing for a month, and the fourth sister should be serving the left and right and showing their filial piety." Lin Jinzheng looked at her coolly.

Lin Zisu gritted her teeth, but could she deny that she was an evil star, and could she refuse to be filial to her grandmother?

Zhao Kan looked at Lin Jinhua, his eyes deepened, and he said, "In that case, Miss Seven might as well go together. It's lonely on the mountain, so I can be a company with Zisu."

Lin Zisu felt confident when she heard his 'zisu' kissing each other.If Lin Jinhua went alone, wouldn't it be better to do it on the mountain?
Lin Jinhua looked at Zhao Kan who was staring at her without blinking, and the corners of her mouth curled up a little: "My daughter still has matters to deal with, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany my fourth sister."

"What's the matter?" Lin Zisu was puzzled, while Lin Jinhua turned her head and looked at the second lady indifferently: "The old patriarch slandered my mother's name festival. If this matter is not investigated, Jinhua will not stop!"

Never die!

The second madam was startled, she was so determined, could it be that she was so cruel that someone must pay for her life.

She said: "Jinhua, the second aunt will handle this matter..."

"Second aunt is getting old, I'm afraid she won't be able to do what she wants, otherwise the two living people will be imprisoned in the Lin Mansion, how could they not know?" Lin Jinzheng stared at her with burning eyes.

When the second lady heard her saying 'older', her heart beat faster with anger, and her face was a little tense.

Lin Gui, who had fainted at this moment, finally woke up. When he saw Lin Jinhua who was standing to the side, he rushed forward without thinking, "Lin Jinhua, you bastard, you dare to hit me, I'll kill you!"

Lin Jinhua had been prepared for a long time, and was about to dodge to one side, but she was tripped by Lan Qiu, the maid next to the second lady, and rushed towards Lin Gui.

Bai Lan was so frightened that her face turned pale. Looking at Lin Gui with a ferocious face, without even thinking about it, she stepped forward and bit his arm fiercely, but was thrown away by Lin Gui who suddenly gathered all her strength. He fell hard on the edge of the flower bed and passed out from the pain.

Lin Gui's eyes turned red with anger, and she turned her head to pounce on Lin Jinhua again, but she had already stood up and hid behind the restrained old patriarch, and took out the hairpin of a maidservant beside her and hid it in the old patriarch's coiled hair It was facing Lin Gui's direction.

No one noticed her little move, Lin Gui also rushed forward in a hurry, raised his hand and grabbed Lin Jinhua who was behind the old patriarch, but felt a sharp pain in his throat.

He stared at Lin Jinhua with wide-eyed eyes, and Lin Jinhua took the opportunity to pull him forward suddenly, and the maids and women beside him were in a hurry to pull, so Lin Jinhua let go of the knee that was holding the hairpin, and struggled. Kai Lin Gui's hand moved back, but his body was unstable, and he fell back hard.

He thought he was going to fall firmly to the ground, but his waist softened, his body lightened, and then he fell into an embrace full of ambergris fragrance.

"Miss Seven, be careful." Zhao Kan hugged her slender waist tightly and did not intend to let go, and whispered to her ear, looking at her round earlobes, and then along her fair neck. Looking down, the petite body has already begun to have the embryonic form of a woman.

Lin Jinhua frowned, and the corners of her mouth sarcastically curled up: "The third prince's hands are cramping?"

"Camp?" Zhao Kan frowned, but Lin Jinhua raised his elbow and hit him hard on the chest. After he left in pain, he said coldly, "If it wasn't for the cramps, why didn't he let go. Jinhua didn't She is talented, but she also has the good fortune to be able to marry His Highness King Ning and become the eldest sister-in-law of the third prince, so please be careful in the future, Your Highness."

"You—" Zhao Kan saw that she was unmoved and merciless, with a terrifyingly handsome face.

Just finished speaking here, someone screamed suddenly, and then Lin Gui fell straight back on the ground, a silver hairpin around his neck pierced his throat directly, staring his eyes dead.

The old patriarch was completely dazed, and there was still blood dripping from Lin Gui just now on his face.

The wives let go of his hand, he pulled the veil from his mouth, stood up and pointed at Lin Jinhua tremblingly: "Evil star, evil star!"

Mrs. Dingnan Hou looked at the series of things that happened in Lin's residence, and was about to leave.How could the second lady let her go out and talk nonsense now, and hurriedly said: "The old patriarch is crazy, take him back to the room immediately. As for Lin Gui..." She frowned and looked at Lin Jinhua, she was too confused to see anything clearly , Lin Gui didn't know who owned the hairpin around his neck: "Go and find out who owns this hairpin, maybe it was just an accident."

After finishing speaking, I didn't bother with Lin Zisu anymore, and hurriedly told Lan Qiu: "Pick up first and send Miss Fourth to Changle Nunnery. What happened in the mansion today is a coincidence. You are not allowed to say a word when you go out, otherwise you will be with Lin Zisu." I can't get through the house!" The second lady said coldly.

The servants were busy, and Mrs. Hou looked a little unhappy: "My lady won't say much, don't worry. But there is no one to take care of Jinhua, and you, an aunt, don't take much care of her. It really doesn't make sense. "

The second lady hurriedly stepped forward to explain, but Mrs. Hou shook her face, turned her head and left.

Lin Zisu went to see Zhao Kan, but Zhao Kan just took a deep look at Lin Jinhua and said, "Miss Seven, the future will be long." After saying that, he turned his head away as well.

Looking at the blood all over the yard, Lin Xiyu didn't know how to restrain herself, and wanted to provoke her, but was stared back directly by the second lady's fierce eyes.

The second lady asked someone to carry away the corpse on the ground, and she was worried about how to explain to the Lin family. If this matter should be passed back, she must remember everything on her own head.

For the first time in so many years, she felt uneasy. If the old patriarch returned to the clan smoothly, among other things, the first thing he would do would be to force the second master to divorce him.

She was thinking about it, but she heard Lin Jinhua who hadn't left yet said: "Second aunt, Jinhua will send someone to the Lin family to explain these things clearly, and the old patriarch will trouble you to take care of it before sending someone back properly."

"I will take care of these, you don't have to..."

"It's about my mother's reputation, Jinhua dare not be careless." Lin Jinhua looked at the plump and bright face of the second lady, which became full of melancholy and wrinkles, her eyes were cold, and she turned away.

As soon as she left, the second lady swayed immediately, supported the pillar on the side to barely stand still, panting: "Call me Huijue!"

When she said this, she gritted her teeth quite a bit, but Lan Qiu who had just left hurriedly ran back and said, "Second Madam, Master Huijue was taken away by Miss Seven's people?"

"How could you let her take someone away?" The second lady could no longer hold back her airs and scolded angrily.

"It was Yang's mother who was next to Miss Seven who brought her mother-in-law and a stick to forcibly take them away. Those people are not the servants we sent to Luoxia Garden, they were sent by Da Furen a few days ago, no Listen to your slaves." Lan Qiu wondered, looked at the frown of the second lady, thought for a while, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Madam, don't you think that what happened these few days is too weird? Not to mention the failure of the plan, he even smashed his own foot."

The second lady finally calmed down, and waved away the servants around her, glanced at the blood that hadn't been cleaned off the ground, and reluctantly walked forward, thinking while walking: "You mean, we have internal organs here. ghost?"

"If that's not the case, then Miss Seven can predict what will happen, but how is this possible." Lan Qiu said.

The second lady frowned, and gave her a cold look: "Find out the ghost for me, I'd rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go! Lin Jinhua is getting smarter, if we don't get rid of it, our long-term plan will be ruined." I'm afraid it will become a pile of bubbles." She closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief, took a look at this silent and cold winter, and walked away.

What happened in the Lin Mansion, because of Madam Dingnanhou's gossip, quickly spread in circles in the capital. Everyone knew that the second lady of the Lin Mansion was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and she and her natal family were immediately estranged. a lot.

Huijue was properly placed in the capital by Lin Jinhua, and he was not allowed to leave for the time being. As for the old patriarch of the Lin family, everyone in the capital was watching. The dowry from the private house was given to him, and then someone sent him back to the Lin family.

Another day passed, and Lin Jinhua, Bai Lancaier, and Mama Yang were all covered in injuries.

Mama Yang was better, and brought soup to Lin Jinhua early.

Lin Jinhua looked at the snow falling on her, and said with a smile, "It's snowing again?"

"That's right, it's not too windy today." After Mama Yang finished speaking, she leaned over and whispered in her ear: "The servants have done everything you asked."

Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly: "That's good." She listened to the wind outside, thinking that her brother and father had just come back in the past few days, her heart was always excited and timid, after all, she didn't protect her mother well...

Just as she was thinking about it, Bai Lan stumbled in from the outside regardless of the injuries on her body, her face was full of joy: "Miss...Miss..."

"What's the matter?" Mother Yang hurriedly helped her up and wondered.

Bai Lan pointed to the outside and said happily: "Master and Young Master are back!"

Lin Jinhua sat up straight immediately, and Bai Lan nodded hurriedly: "The second lady is receiving reception in the front yard at the moment, you can go quickly."

Lin Jinhua threw down the book in her hand, ran outside before she could put on her cloak and put on her shoes, and Mama Yang couldn't catch up.

When Lin Jinhua arrived at the front hall, she saw from a distance the tall figure in military uniform standing inside and the slightly thinner figure sitting on one side, and felt her eyes tingle.In the previous life, her elder brother was brutally killed by Zheng Ruyi, and her father was beheaded because of her burden...

She didn't dare to think about it, but she was stunned on the spot but couldn't move as if the soles of her feet were filled with lead, until a clear male voice came: "Jinhua..."

The tall man hurriedly turned around, looked at his thin daughter who was standing in the snow, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and embraced her in his arms: "Jinhua, Daddy is back."

When Lin Jinhua heard this, she felt warm and wronged in her heart, her nose was sore, and tears fell from her eyes.

"Father, mother kiss her..." Lin Jinhua finally spoke after a while, and a big man in Lin Luzhi also had red eyes: "The news that your second aunt has already passed to the border."

"What?" Lin Jinyu paused for a moment. She thought her father and brother didn't know about it. At that time, they were fighting dangerously. Quietly sent the news over, do you want to kill them!

Seeing Lin Jinhua's slightly cold eyes, the second lady hurried forward and said, "I'm also worried that your mother will be wronged. I can't let my husband and son know about her death."

"Really? The second aunt was still admiring the snow in the country village at that time, so it's rare that she still remembers this." Lin Jinhua said coolly.

Hearing this, Lin Luzhi frowned slightly, and said with a little bit of reproach: "Jinhua, don't talk to your aunt like this." After that, the look in the eyes of the second lady became a little complicated.

Lin Jinhua knew that he had always sympathized with the old lady as the stepmother, and took special care of the eldest and second wife, and also knew that they would not be able to expose their masks for a while, so he could only look down.

The second lady took the opportunity to laugh and said, "Jinhua is still young, so it's okay."

Lin Jincheng believed in his younger sister even more, Qingjuan's face was covered with frost, and he only gently rubbed Lin Jinhua's little head: "We have also heard some things from Lord Ning about the Lin family, I have wronged you these days, now Brother Hou will protect you by your side, whoever dares to bully you, I will crush his bones!"

Lin Luzhi frowned, and wanted to say more, but Lin Jinhua pulled him coquettishly and said, "Father will go to the palace to see the emperor later, change and wash earlier and go to the palace, so I can have dinner with Jinhua in the evening."

Lin Luzhi looked at this daughter who had the beauty of a loving wife, and felt more and more distressed. He also wondered in his heart how the timid and shy daughter had become so lively now, but he thought that it had been a long time since he had seen her. He didn't take it to heart, nodded and followed her away.

Lin Jincheng looked at Lin Jinhua who was a head shorter than himself, his eyes were full of tenderness, and half of the killing spirit of a major general disappeared, as if the exhaustion from returning from the march disappeared.

The second lady watched the happy family leave before she slapped her hands on the table.

Lan Qiu stepped forward and said: "Ma'am, don't worry, it will be the New Year's Eve in a few days, and there will be a reason to bring the old lady and the young lady back. The third master has always respected the old lady, even if the seventh lady listened to him, he would not dare to take it." How are you?"

"I'm not afraid of him. I think he's a fool who values ​​love and righteousness, but the Lin Jinhua brothers and sisters can't keep him. Didn't you hear what Lin Jincheng said just now? His muscles and bones are broken. He was born as a military general. I'm afraid he will really do this." Two Madam said coldly.

"Then you mean..."

"He is not young anymore. He wants to marry a few wives. Even if he is still unable to marry a wife in the filial piety period, a concubine is also indispensable. My natal brother's daughter Huifang is also sixteen this year. Go and give me one." When the news comes, let sister-in-law Ming'er lead her to live in the mansion for a few days." The second lady planned.After all, Lin Jincheng was a young man, how could he withstand the temptation of a woman, just like the second master, he was still not satisfied despite his age.

Thinking of this, she became even angrier: "Go and ask the doctor to prescribe some Shengzi soup for me."

"Yes."

"And..." She paused: "When it gets dark, call Yan'er, I have something to say."

"I'll do it now, servant girl." Lan Qiu hurriedly agreed and went out.

On this end, Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng changed their clothes. When they didn't see Lin Jinhua, they both felt a little lonely. After all, the good wife would fall into the water if she said she fell into the water.

When they came out, they saw Lin Jinhua sitting in the warm pavilion sorting out the books they had brought back. Lin Jincheng smiled and said, "Jinhua, who has always been lazy, can read and write?"

"Brother made fun of me." Lin Jinhua glared at him coquettishly, but she was extremely happy in her heart.After so many years, it seems like a lifetime away, and this feeling is especially obvious now.

The siblings talked and laughed for a while before Lin Jincheng quietly asked her, "Do you know a lady named Zheng?"

"Surname Zheng?" Lin Jinhua's hands tightened slightly as she packed the scroll.

Lin Jincheng is also like a young man who has just begun to fall in love, his eyes are bright: "I saw her on the road when I came back today. She is setting up a porridge shed to give porridge."

Lin Jinyu's heart sank suddenly. Who else would be serving porridge outside these days, but Zheng Ruyi who wanted to establish her kind and beautiful image.

She suddenly thought of something, and smiled slightly: "Tomorrow I want to go buy makeup, my brother will go with me, maybe I can meet that Miss Zheng again, even if Jinhua doesn't know such a kind lady, I have to go to meet her." Give me a handkerchief."

Lin Jincheng looked at his younger sister's bright eyes, his face flushed suddenly, he coughed softly, straightened his clothes, raised his hand and naturally tapped her forehead: "Okay, Brother Minger will take you there."

Lin Jinhua looked at him who was dressed in a blue robe and tall and tall. His facial features were not as stern and stunning as Zhao Huaiyan's, but they were calm and mature after years of training in the battlefield. He changed his armor and added a bit of gentleness. Good brother, how can Zheng Ruyi be ruined!

"It's getting late, let's go." Lin Luzhi came out of the room, and when he saw the laughter of the two brothers and sisters, he also smiled.

Lin Jinhua personally sent them to the gate, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after watching them leave in the carriage.

Mother Yang followed beside her and said comfortingly: "Master and Young Master are back, Miss will not be afraid of anything from now on."

Lin Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, but the corners of her mouth curled up coldly, her brother and father came back, this is just the beginning!

In the afternoon, the Marquis of Dingnan suddenly sent someone to bring a stack of wedding cakes, and then a large box of clothes and jewellery, which made Lin Jinhua startled.

"What's the matter?" Lin Jinhua looked at the maid who came to deliver the letter and asked in puzzlement.

The servant girl covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Miss Lin invited this Xi'er, and now Miss Lin doesn't know about it. Madam Hou, we are happy!"

"Really?" Mother Yang also said in surprise, today is really a good day, with many happy events.

"It's true. Madam has invited two or three imperial doctors to look at it. It's absolutely true. The fetus is only one month old. Although the pulse condition is not obvious, it can be confirmed. Madam Hou said that she must thank Ms. Lin in a few days." , Miss Lin must accept these small gifts."

Lin Jinhua was full of smiles, now that Mrs. Hou's move is successful, the next step will be much easier.

As soon as news of Mrs. Hou's happiness spread, Lin Jinhua's reputation as a genius doctor also spread.After all, Mrs. Hou is already considered a hen that can't lay eggs, but now she has guessed that any wife who wants to conceive a child will not flock to her.

When the second lady heard the news, she had just drank the fried begging soup, and hurriedly rinsed her mouth with water and put a candied fruit in her mouth to relieve her breath.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid Miss Seven will be really hard to deal with in the future." Lan Qiu asked someone to take away the medicine bowl, worried.

The Second Madam is not thinking about this now, she rubs her belly that has never been able to give birth to a son, her brows are tightly knit together.

But this matter was not figured out, and news came from outside, saying that the Kang family had come to the door and carried the half-dead Kang Yue.

They came here quietly out of face, and did not disturb many people.

"What are they here for? The Lin family has no friendship with the Kang family..."

Lan Qiu seemed to think of something, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Miss and that Miss Kang family seem to have approached. A few days ago, Miss Kang family was found naked with her cousin and thrown in the market. Suffering from Hualiu disease..."

The second lady immediately waved her hand with disgust on her face: "Then see what they do, send them away!"

The mother-in-law who was talking back and forth hurriedly said: "But ma'am, they said that if you don't see me, they will expose the fact that Miss Si ordered Miss Kang to frame Miss Seven. They also said that the reason why Miss Kang was designed to be thrown into the street was because of Miss Fourth. Given..."

"How dare they threaten me!" The second lady rushed up angrily.

Lan Qiu at least calmed down: "If you don't ask them to come in, what if the people in the first room know that if the eldest lady makes a fuss, won't it be rumored that our lady is hanging out with girls like Kang Yue? The fourth lady has not Haven't discussed marriage yet."

Hearing this, the second lady took a long breath, and finally let go of the cup she was holding tightly: "Hurry up and invite someone here."

The Kang family who came here were not actually from Kang Shilang's house. Kang Yue's father was just a cousin of Kang Shilang. With the help of Kang Shilang, he was considered decent in the capital. Now that Kang Shilang died, he was immediately arrested. Back to its original shape, the capital couldn't stay any longer, until Kang Yue suddenly had an accident.

"Father, can this be done?" A short and fat man who looked exactly like Kang Yue asked him beside him.

Kang Ji narrowed his slender eyes, and said with a smile: "Didn't you see the letter early this morning? It said in the letter that the second lady of the Lin family is now in our hands, and she won't agree to it."

"But none of us know who sent the letter..."

"It's okay, just give it a try, otherwise the capital city won't be able to stay any longer." Kang Ji looked at his flat purse, but he didn't even glance at the half-dead Kang Yue who was being carried by a wooden plank. .

Not long after, Lan Qiu came over and led the people in, but she didn't hear what they said.

When he arrived at the main hall of the second room, Kang Ji took a look around. The utensils were all high-quality mahogany, and there were many high-quality jade wares on the Duobao Pavilion beside him, which was much more magnificent than his cousin Kang Shilang's house.

Kang Yao watched his father's eyes turn straight, and asked quietly, "Father, what are you looking at?"

"I'll see for a while how much money we need to make it." Kang Ji touched his chin. He has been in the capital for so many years. The same is not bad, now that Kang Shilang died, his sister-in-law would just throw him out of the house, now if he doesn't think of a way to ask for more money, he will have a hard life in the future.

The second lady looked at their father and son in the room for a while, and Kang Yue who was placed on the ground. Although her face was covered with a veil, it was clearly visible that the veil was wet with sores, and she was very sick.

She clutched her handkerchief to suppress the nausea in her stomach, restrained the disgust on her face, and finally walked out from the inside, followed by four or five strong women.

When Kang Ji saw her coming, he first smelled a pleasant fragrance, narrowed his eyes, and looked up at the second lady in brocade clothes. Although there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and brows, his figure was in good shape, his skin was fair, and his facial features Good, don't have a mature flavor.

He hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands, said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the Second Madam is famous, but now I see it, she really lives up to her reputation."

The second lady was told by Lin Jinhua a few days ago that she was getting old. When she heard the man's flattery today, she was first ashamed, then a little proud, and her complexion improved a little. She just turned around and sat on the main seat, holding her Chazhan said indifferently: "I heard that Master Kang is here today because of Miss Kang?"

"Yes, but..."

Before Kang Ji opened his mouth, he heard the second lady say: "Zisu is still young, she doesn't know what to say, but she knows what to say and what not to say." She saw that the people from Kang's family were not from Kang Shilang's family at all, and she felt even more in her heart. I just waited a little longer, thinking about sending some money away.

Kang Ji frowned, and was about to speak, but saw her clapping her hands. Lan Qiu came out with a plate from the inside. There were more than a dozen silver ingots neatly inside, adding up to 200 taels. Two, he can live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing, but Kang Ji is not an ordinary person.

He looked at the 200 taels of silver sarcastically and said with a sneer, "Second Madam, what does this mean?"

"What do you mean?" The second lady put down the teacup slightly and looked at him: "Didn't you come here just to ask for some money. You have no evidence about the matter between Zisu and Miss Kang, besides, Zisu has gone to the mountain to clean up now. As for Kang Miss, my daughter's family is unruly and ruined their reputation by having sex with others, do you still want to blame my Lin family for failing?"

What she said was to look down on Kang Ji, Kang Yao was not as bold as his father, so he just whispered: "Father, why don't you forget it..."

"Forget it?" Kang Ji glanced at him, and looked at the second lady with a sneer: "Don't think that I don't know about the nasty things you did. I wanted to talk to you nicely, but since you don't want to, then don't." Blame me for throwing out all your little tricks!"

The second lady's hand holding the chair tightened slightly, and she winked at Lan Qiu, Lan Qiu immediately sent all the other maids in the room to go down, leaving only a few confidantes and the Kang family.

The second lady stood up, and looked at Kang Ji, who was still so young and rascal, with a faint smile: "The Kang family has only produced one Kang Shilang for so many years, although you still have uncles who work as sesame officials in the county, but where is the capital? Do you think you can act wild?"

Kang Ji's complexion became darker and darker, and he looked at her with a sneer: "It seems that the second lady brought us in early in the morning, and she didn't take a fancy to us at all. Well, I originally only planned to ask you for 2 taels, but now, you Not only will you give me 2 taels, but you will also marry your daughter Lin Zisu to my son as his wife!"

Lan Qiu saw that the second lady's complexion was dark, and she took a step forward and scolded: "Bastard, who do you think you are talking to! Kang Shilang is dead, and the Kang family is nothing in the capital! I add Miss Jinzhiyuye, in fact, you can climb high of."

Instead of being angry, Kang Ji smiled, pointed at Lan Qiu, and looked at the second lady: "I still want to give her to me as a concubine, she is always a bit old, but she still has the same charm as the second lady, especially if you haven't opened it yet." Budding, the taste must be better."

Lan Qiu's complexion was slightly green, and her lips went to see the second lady.

The second lady's brows were tightly locked together, but what she was thinking about was what kind of trouble he had.

She looked at him and said, "Why do you think I will promise you?"

"Why?" The corners of Kang Ji's mouth twitched: "Just because I know that Lin Zisu is not the Lin family's seed at all. Second Madam, Master Lin has not even produced an eggshell under his knees for so many years, don't you doubt it?" ?Maybe he is not good at all, I just need to ask the doctor to see his disease, then I can know that you were with..."

"Shut up!" Lan Qiu wanted to reprimand, but the second lady suddenly said coldly: "2 taels of silver...I will send it to your house later, as for Zisu's marriage, I will think about it later."

"Ma'am..." Lan Qiu was puzzled, could it be that the Fourth Miss really belonged to the Second Master?
The eyes of the second wife are very complicated. For so many years, she always thought that something was wrong with the woman in the second room, but she never thought that she was pregnant with Zisu that time.

She restrained all her ruthlessness, only stared at Kang Ji lightly, and pointed to the 200 taels she brought just now: "These are the travel expenses for your trips back and forth today, but you have to tell me, who told you about this?" .”

Kang Ji didn't care, he felt that he was pinching her tightly, he glanced at her and said, "I'll tell you when you send her to my house." He pointed at Lan Qiu and laughed. Turned around and left.

Lan Qiu turned pale, turned around and looked at the second lady nervously: "Madam, I don't want to..."

"Go down and clean up." The second lady sat down on the stool, looking at Kang Ji's leaving back, the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were full of murderous intent.

She would never allow anyone to spread the incident back then!

Luoxia Court.

After hearing Mama Yang's words, Lin Jinhua said, "Does Mama know what to do after dark?"

"Will the Kang family really do what you expected? When the slaves saw them coming in at the front door, although they were somewhat proud, they were still somewhat afraid. This is the General's Mansion after all." Yang's mother was a little worried, Although she had seen the young lady's ability to plan carefully, this time she always felt it was mysterious. The young lady didn't inquire about anything, so she let her quietly deliver a letter to Kang's house and it was over. Now she was required to report to the government in the middle of the night.

Lin Jinhua carefully embroidered the last stitch of the handkerchief in her hand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You just do it, and go to the back alley tonight and tell Lao Liu to arrange for Huijue to prepare for it tomorrow." Now that Mrs. Hou has a son, he doesn't have to worry about being tricked."

Mother Yang saw that she was staring at the handkerchief in her hand, so she could only comfort herself to take a gamble, but she said with a smile: "Miss specially embroidered this handkerchief, is it for the young master?"

"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded, "Tomorrow will be of great use." The corners of her mouth curled up.No matter how clear Zheng Ruyi was in her previous life, she would never let her harm her brother again!
Turning her head to look at the sky, it was slowly getting dark, and the candles were already lit in the courtyard. Bai Lan came in and said that dinner was ready, and Lin Jinhua came out of the Nuan Pavilion.

Cai'er prepared the bowls and chopsticks, saw Yan'er going out to prepare tea cups, and then hurried to Lin Jinhua's ear and said, "Miss, I see that Yan'er is always running out today, I'm afraid he went to the second lady's courtyard."

"Don't worry about her." Lin Jinhua looked at the table full of dishes and was in a good mood.

Cai'er was still worried, but Bai Lan gave her a soft tug: "Don't worry, our lady is like a mirror in her heart, she knows everything."

Cai'er sighed: "I'm not the old mother's worrying about my life."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and it happened that Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng also came back from outside.

Lin Jinzheng looked at the people who came, his father was mighty, and his elder brother Qingjun, it would be great if his mother was here...

Wait, why did someone else appear in the middle?
Several servant girls saw the person coming, and hurried forward to salute: "His Royal Highness Ning Wang."

Lin Jinhua was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he quietly came to give her medicine that night, her face was a little hot, and she hurried forward to salute.

Lin Jincheng looked at Lin Jinhua, and explained with a smile: "My lord has something to discuss with my father at night, and I just haven't had a meal, so I come here to have some food together. Jinhua, you haven't left the cabinet yet, so I will wrong you to eat in the conservatory."

"Yes." Lin Jinhua nodded in agreement, and was about to leave when Zhao Huaiyan said, "Family, don't be cautious."

Both Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng were taken aback. They're already a family before they get through the door?He is coming to the Lin Mansion, so he doesn't treat himself as an outsider too much.

Lin Jinhua couldn't refuse, but when she looked up, she saw him looking at her with a smile in her eyes: "Is the injury better?"

Lin Jinhua's face became even hotter, but she gave him a dark look.

Zhao Huaiyan saw her swollen look, a little smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she stepped straight to sit in the chief seat.

Several people also joined the table, and Lin Jinhua sat next to Lin Jincheng at the back.After the meal, Lin Jincheng was still wondering, when he was eating, he always felt a cool gaze sweeping over him.

Compared to the hustle and bustle here, the corner door of the cold backyard has been quietly opened.

The specially dressed woman looked at the bottomless long alley in front of her, clutched the things hidden in her sleeves, lowered her head and walked away quickly.

But I don't know that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind!
