Chapter 59
When Lin Jinhua left the gate of the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Hou personally sent someone to pick her up in a carriage.

The woman who came to pick him up was very respectful. The first time she got off the carriage and saw Lin Jinhua, her eyes showed surprise.The crimson long dress pinches the waist, and a string of pearls hangs around the waist. When walking, the hem of the clothes moves slightly but the jewels jingle, which shows that walking gracefully is the demeanor of a lady.The crimson wide-sleeved long dress set off her jade-like complexion even more.Qiong nose and cherry lips, brows that look far away, and a pair of starry eyes are even more black and clear, black hanging down the side of the body, when the wind blows, the nobleness of the body is so noble that people dare not look directly at it.

She had seen the etiquette and respectfully stepped aside: "Miss Seven, please."

Lin Jinhua nodded slightly: "I'm sorry to trouble Mom." After saying that softly, she took Mo Feng's hand and got into the carriage.

The mother-in-law liked her more and more when she heard her voice was soft and not frivolous. When driving the carriage, she specially ordered the horses and horses to drive the carriage slower, so as to save Lin Jinyu from suffering from the bumps.

The carriage went all the way, and it took half an hour before it finally stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

Before she got out of the carriage, she smelled the strong fragrance of flowers outside. She opened the curtain and took a look. My good fellow, there were large pots of flowers of various colors at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and there were still wet drops of water on the flowers. Just took care of it.

Mo Feng opened the curtain to help her down, and said, "I'm afraid these flowers were brought from the south, and things like flowers are greatly damaged. If there are so many pots left, I'm afraid there will be more damage."

Lin Jinyu looked at the smiling woman who was waiting not far in front, nodded slightly, and didn't say any more when she got off the carriage.

The mother-in-law came forward to meet her, but she opened her mouth by herself: "These flowers were sent by Madam Hou's natal brothers. Madam Hou is now pregnant with Liujia. Her brother-in-law said that as long as Madam Hou likes it, more flowers are available." Bring it."

Lin Jinzheng's eyes moved slightly. Madam Hou's brother-in-law spoke loudly. Today, the Holy Majesty has been investigating corruption for so many years. He actually has so much money to transport these flowers that can only live for a month. It shows that he is rich and powerful. Being targeted by someone with a heart...

She glanced at the many carriages coming and going at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and only wanted to talk to Madam Hou privately, so she echoed with a smile: "Madam Hou is very lucky."

The mother-in-law smiled and quickly led her inside.

At that time, Mrs. Hou was sitting by the warm couch talking to a few wives, and most of the people inside were familiar. When Mrs. Hou went to the Defei Palace to attend a banquet before, she also made good friends with them.

"Are you Miss Lin Qi?" one of the kind women in a dark purple dress suddenly asked.

Lin Jinhua saw that she looked familiar, and after thinking about it, she turned out to be Luo Shangshu's wife and Wang Ruyan's aunt.

Lin Jinhua smiled and nodded, Madam Hou was also happy when she saw it, and said, "So Madam Luo knows Jinhua?" Miss, look well, now I can walk on the ground after taking the medicine." Mrs. Luo laughed.

The ladies next to her all looked at Lin Jinhua, but they still didn't believe that Lin Jinhua was young.

Among them, a lady in a luxurious green dress glanced at her, and said: "I'm afraid Mrs. Luo has taken other medicines before, otherwise Miss Lin is only in her teens, how can she have such superb medical skills? I have seen quite a few people who are trying to gain fame and reputation, they hire people to do things, but he takes all the face and fame on himself, it really makes people think that he is a man of destiny, so he is so bluffing and deceitful."

Madam Hou looked a little embarrassed when she said this bluntly, but according to her haste, she didn't get angry, she just smiled and introduced to Lin Jinhua: "Jinhua, hurry up and salute, this is Princess Duanhui , I have been taking office with the son-in-law before, and I just returned to Beijing recently. Your aunt's family is also somewhat related to the son-in-law's house."

After Mrs. Hou's introduction, Princess Duanhui leaned back on the stool slightly, as if she didn't want to take care of Lin Jinhua.

But Lin Jinhua remembers her, Princess Duanhui, the younger sister of the emperor's mother and compatriots, the son-in-law took a false job, although she has ambitions, but has been suppressed by the false name of the son-in-law, depressed all her life, and finally fell in love with Duanhui Kill and die.

Lin Jinhua looked at her well-maintained face even though she was nearly forty years old. The exquisite and appropriate makeup was added to her body, and the high and noble dignity could be seen at a glance. When the phoenix eyes like Zhao Huaiyan were raised slightly, one could see the arrogance written in her bones .

Lin Jinhua didn't argue with her too much, and just bowed politely.

Mrs. Luo was also worried that Princess Duanhui would continue to make things difficult for her, so she just smiled and said: "Ru Yan is here today too, you are outside, go talk to her."

Madam Hou also nodded accordingly: "The poetry and painting session will start in a while, so you might as well make some sisters."

"Yes." Lin Jinhua obediently complied, and then stepped out.

The mother-in-law led her all the way to the garden where the banquet was held before leaving.

Lin Jinhua didn't want to go to crowded places, so she walked along the veranda, but by chance, she saw Wang Ruyan, who was standing alone on the covered bridge by the lake, feeding the koi carps with a worried expression on her face, her footsteps paused, Zeng Xuehai is now lost Half-Life, even if the emperor has the heart, he will never marry her again. Could it be that she is worrying about her marriage with her brother now?

Thinking about it this way, she felt much more relaxed, and moved forward a little faster.

I just turned the corner, and before I called Wang Ruyan, I saw a seven or eight-year-old boy suddenly appearing behind Wang Ruyan, and before Wang Ruyan could react, he pushed her on the back fiercely, and Wang Ruyan immediately He fell into the lake without warning.

There was no one around here, and the lake was still very cold in February, so Lin Jinyu gritted her teeth slightly: "Mo Feng, hurry up and save someone!"

"Yes." Mo Feng responded and headed towards the lake. Lin Jinhua ran to the bridge with her skirt in her hands, and grabbed the boy with a confused face: "What are you doing!"

The bewilderment on the boy's face disappeared in an instant, and he stared at her with disgust on his small face: "What are you doing, let me go!"

"Who are you? Why did you push her down!" Lin Jinhua gritted her teeth. This child is also seven or eight years old. He doesn't understand what happens when he pushes someone into the water, and judging by his actions, it is obvious that he is on purpose.

"Let me go!" Seeing that he couldn't move, he bit down on Lin Jinhua's arm with one bite. His immature teeth were strong, until someone rushed over from the other end of the bridge.

The moment he ran over, he didn't ask the reason, and pushed Lin Jinhua away, and then comforted the boy.

Seeing his friend coming, the boy burst into tears, pointed at Lin Jinhua and said, "She slandered me and beat me, woo woo woo..."

The servant girl's complexion turned bad when she heard the words, and she just stared at Lin Jinhua coldly, regardless of which lady she was, she just said coldly, "How many lives do you have to dare to bully my young master?"

Mo Feng had rescued him now, Lin Jinhua glanced at the boy, saw that he didn't have a single tear but was still crying out for injustice, so he frowned coldly and turned to look at Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan choked on the water, and her complexion turned blue from the cold. Lin Jinhua hurriedly took her cloak to wrap her up, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid."

"Hmm." Wang Ruyan's eyes were red, she didn't know why someone wanted to kill her.

"Mo Feng, hurry up and inform Mrs. Luo, and send her to the wing room to change clothes." Lin Jinhua hurriedly said.

Mo Feng responded, and hurried to carry the man.

Lin Jinhua also wanted to follow, the boy saw that Lin Jinhua didn't pay attention to him at all, gritted his teeth slightly, broke free from the servant girl's arm and rushed up to grab her sleeve: "You can't go, you wronged me, I want to beat you board!"

"Wronged?" Lin Jinyu coldly shook his hand away, he was just a spoiled child, did he really think he was the prince: "I saw you push Miss Wang into the lake with my own eyes, where did you wronged me? "

Before the boy opened his mouth, the servant girl took a step forward and said, "Stop talking nonsense, my son is the most obedient, how could he do such a thing. Which lady are you from, do you know who my son is?"

Lin Jinhua knew who the boy was when he saw the jade pendant on his body: "I am Miss Lin Fu, you can go and report to Princess Duanhui what happened just now, I believe the princess will have her own judgment." Lin Jinhua's last sentence The words were addressed to the child, and the servant girl's face became darker when she heard it, and she only snorted softly: "I heard that General Lin has been demoted to a commoner, and Madam Hou would invite you, it's really strange."

After she looked at the boy with contempt, she said, "My lord, let's go find the princess."

Hearing this, the boy broke free from the maid's hand and pulled Lin Jinhua: "You are not allowed to leave, I haven't hit you yet."

Lin Jinhua frowned, and the maid hurriedly pulled the boy and said, "Master, let's tell the princess, the princess will punish her."

"I'll punish you too." The boy glared at her angrily, "Where were you when she bullied me just now? Why didn't you come earlier?"

"Slave..." The maid was at a loss for words, and the boy snorted softly, and only looked up at Lin Jinhua: "You scared me just now, I'm going to hit you."

Hearing the obvious angry words, Lin Jinhua lightly brushed his hand away: "I have other matters. The one you pushed into the water today is the lady from Yushifu. You'd better go and tell the princess." Forget it, just turn around and leave.

The boy wanted to chase after him, but the servant girl grabbed his arm and said, "My lord, don't make trouble."

The boy was in pain from being caught by her, but he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.

Mrs. Hou soon found out about Wang Ruyan being pushed into the water, and personally arranged for her to change her clothes in the wing room, and then she regretted watching Wang Ruyan who was sitting drinking ginger tea after changing her clothes, and said: "I never thought that this would happen. thing."

When Wang Ruyan heard the words, she only smiled apologetically, "It was my own carelessness that caused Jinhua to offend the princess's only son. I don't know if the princess will blame her?"

Madam Hou knew that she was pleading for Lin Jinhua, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam Luo is here, Princess Duanhui won't go too far, after all, it was her son who pushed you into the water." After finishing speaking, she thought about it, Still whispering to the two of them: "Her son-in-law got married with the son-in-law. There is only such a child in the Princess House. He has been spoiled very much since he was a child, and he has a domineering temper. When you see her in the future, just stay away."

"En." Wang Ruyan nodded quickly.

Lin Jinhua just stood aside and said nothing. This princess Duanhui belonged to Zhao Kan's faction back then, and she was also very close to Concubine De. However, although the princess and his wife are domineering and arrogant, their natures are not bad. Zhongliang has never been harmed.It's just that Mrs. Hou said just now that the son-in-law's family has some connections with the Da Furen's natal family, it seems that it would be better for her to deal with the Da Furen as soon as possible.

Mrs. Hou's stomach is not obvious yet, but she is already cautious. After standing for a while, she carefully supported them, and smiled at them: "Go ahead and play first, I will talk to the princess about the young master. It doesn't matter."

"Thank you, Mrs. Hou." Wang Ruyan smiled at her, and she left carefully holding her mother's hand.

After Madam Hou left, Lin Jinhua turned to look at Wang Ruyan who was thinking, and said, "What were you thinking when you were on the bridge?"

When Wang Ruyan thought of this, her face turned red suddenly, her eyes were lowered, and she was a little shy: "I..."

"Thinking about brother?" Lin Jinhua's mouth curled up.

Wang Ruyan's face turned redder suddenly, and Lin Jinzheng understood, so she didn't ask any more questions, and just smiled slightly: "Since we're here, let's go sit outside."

Wang Ruyan was not as free as Lin Jinhua, and it was a rare opportunity to come out to get some air, so she naturally would not let it go, she hurriedly smiled and nodded and went out with her.

The so-called poetry and painting fairs are the time when young ladies and gentlemen show their demeanor, especially after the beginning of spring, each family loves to hold various flower feasts and poetry fairs. Looking at others, the second is to show the strength of the host family. If the banquet is well organized, a good reputation will be spread in the capital for a year.

After Lin Jinhua entered the garden, she and Wang Ruyan found a place to sit by the lake by the promenade, and watched the ladies in the yard recite their own poems, competing for beauty and excitement.

However, before the excitement was over, voices could be heard nearby.

"I heard that Lin Jinhua is also here today."

"Really? You should be more careful, don't talk to her, and be careful not to catch the willow disease." Another young lady spoke, and a group of people burst into low laughter.

Wang Ruyan's face was slightly pale, and she hurriedly went to look at Lin Jinhua: "Don't mind, they are just so open-mouthed."

Looking at her gentle and firm eyes, Lin Jinhua naturally didn't care about them.

But she didn't care about it, but those people insisted on coming to her door.

The disdainful young lady from before saw this and made an exaggerated 'Huh' sound: "Isn't that just Miss Lin?"

"Quickly see if there are abscesses on her face?" someone whispered.

Feeling sick, the other ladies covered their mouths and noses, making an unattractive look, but in fact, Lin Jinhua kept everything clean, and her appearance was absolutely superior to them.

Wang Ruyan couldn't listen anymore, and said to those people: "You are ladies after all, how can you say such things."

The leading lady in red said contemptuously: "What did we say? You are also a lady of everyone, and you are still yelling like this. How can you be decent?" After speaking, she looked at Lin Jinhua with a little bit of poison, and snorted coldly : "I am afraid that I have contracted the willow disease, and I will come out and infect others. It is really vicious."

Lin Jinhua followed her voice and saw that the material of the clothes was also high-quality, and her palm-sized face was also considered good-looking. It was this look of contempt and dissatisfaction on her face that made her face become mean and sour. If I remember correctly, this The lady is also surnamed Zheng, and her boudoir name is Zheng Jiaojiao. She is a very distant relative with Zheng Ruyi's family, but her relationship with Zheng Ruyi is very ordinary. Today, she probably didn't vent her anger because of Zheng Ruyi. Why?Today, she was obedient and did not show off the limelight. It is impossible for people to have a chance to attack her.

Lin Jinhua couldn't figure it out, and based on the principle of not adding enemies to herself as much as possible, she just smiled at her: "Where did Miss Zheng see that I was infected with the willow disease?"

"Your grandmother had sex with someone..."

"Aunt Zhou has already been ordered to become a concubine by the empress early this morning. Since Miss Zheng is so concerned about my affairs, how could she not know?" Lin Jinhua smiled lightly, which was very different from her bitter look.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiaojiao was so angry that her little face turned green. If it wasn't for someone holding her back, she would have stood up angrily and argued with her.

Lin Jinhua glanced at the remaining ladies, they were all mobs, they dared to ridicule behind their backs, but dared not speak out on the surface.

Lin Jinhua paused, but reminded Zheng Jiaojiao: "Miss Zheng, don't be too angry, you are seriously ill, you need to calm down and recuperate."

"Nonsense, I'm in good health, nourished with ginseng and bird's nest every day, unlike you, I'm afraid I can't afford cheap bird's nest now, poor people should behave like poor people, why come to a banquet? You are not afraid of embarrassment. And you think you know a few words, and you just fooled a few people, so you really think you are a miracle doctor?" Zheng Jiaojiao now thought of Zheng Ruyi: "Your Lin family are all evil stars. Son, your elder brother has harmed Zheng Ruyi, making her unable to leave the house now, and now you want to come and curse me."

"The reason why Ms. Zheng Ruyi can't go out of the house, the Lin family sees that she is still a girl waiting to be married, and it has never been rumored. Why does Ms. Zheng use this as an excuse to belittle my brother?" Lin Jinhua has always taken care of her father, so She never asked anyone to spread any rumors, but this Miss Zheng Jiaojiao is not afraid of making things worse.

She looked at Zheng Jiaojiao, with an evil look on the corner of her mouth. Since she was not good at spreading rumors, it happened to be Miss Zheng Jiaojiao's mouth.

As soon as Lin Jinhua said this, the ladies all looked at each other meaningfully, pulled Zheng Jiaojiao and whispered: "Jiaojiao, what's going on."

"That's right, what's going on, you didn't tell us?"

Several people pulled her and kept asking.

Zheng Jiaojiao frowned, how did she know, she only vaguely heard something mentioned by her parents, and looked at Lin Jinhua slightly annoyed: "Isn't it because your elder brother failed to propose a marriage, so you falsely accused Zheng Ruyi of drugging her?"

Wang Ruyan couldn't listen anymore, and immediately blushed and said: "Miss Zheng, what do you say, Miss Zheng was going to marry Mr. Lin in front of Xu's house that day, but we all saw it with our own eyes, and Mr. Lin sent her back Mansion, if it wasn’t for Jinhua bringing someone in, Mr. Lin would have been drugged…” Wang Ruyan blushed, and continued after a while: “Later, Jinhua took Master Lin and Master Xu to Zheng’s Mansion at night. Proposing marriage, Miss Zheng was not in the boudoir in the middle of the night, so the Lin family did not propose marriage anymore, how can it be said that Young Master Lin harmed Miss Zheng Ruyi?"

After Wang Ruyan finished speaking in one breath, everyone else covered their lips and looked at each other, and looked at Zheng Jiaojiao more mockingly.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiaojiao's face was slightly green, she didn't know that Zheng Ruyi was such an idiot.But he only glanced at Wang Ruyan, and snorted lightly: "You know so well, do you mean you are interested in Mr. Lin?"

"Could it be that Ms. Zheng is making things difficult for me here, can I say that Ms. Zheng is playing hard to get me?" Seeing that Wang Ruyan's face was flushed and tears were about to fall, Lin Jinhua went up to take her words and said calmly.

"You—!" Zheng Jiaojiao was at a loss for words, she blushed and looked at Lin Jinhua for a while, then simply stood up, stamped her feet hard, and turned away.

Seeing if the girls in the back were busy watching, they naturally followed along, and the blush on Wang Ruyan's face faded a bit.

Lin Jinhua didn't care about Zheng Jiaojiao, what she cared about was what happened in the front yard today, by now, he should be here.

Did Zhao Kan think that everything would be safe by hiding outside the capital...

Wang Ruyan hadn't recovered yet, and when she saw the corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth curled up indifferently, she blinked and didn't speak for a long while.

At this time in the front yard of the Hou Mansion, the talented scholars had already flattered each other, and no one noticed the person who suddenly appeared at the door.

When Yuan En came, his complexion was very pale. He knew that today must be his death day, but for the sake of his family, he had to die.

The servant of the Hou's mansion did not expect him to come, and after seeing him in a daze, he immediately sent someone to report to Dingnanhou.

Marquis Dingnan was talking to some respectable adults in the capital at the moment, when he heard the young man report, he was all surprised: "Why did he come?"

The boy shook his head: "I don't know, should I invite him out now?"

Hearing this, Dingnanhou only shook his head slightly: "Forget it, he probably still wants to struggle, so let him."

Everyone laughed knowingly, offending Zhao Kan's person, especially someone like him who Zhao Huaiyan also targeted, how could Zhao Kan survive, once he leaves Beijing to take office, he will definitely die suddenly on the way to take office.

Dingnan Hou glanced at the young masters who were reciting poems against each other in the yard, and saw a scholar in a simple Tsing Yi, and asked the attendants beside him: "What's his name?"

The servant took a look and said with a smile: "Return to Lord Hou, his name is Jiang Qingshu, he is an ordinary citizen, but he is very knowledgeable, and he is well-known in the circle of talented scholars in the capital."

Dingnanhou heard the words and nodded: "The Marquis thinks that he is still smart, he is not inferior because he is poor, and he has a bit of innocence in the crowd, but the last thing I need is his innocence. "

The servant was slightly startled, then nodded immediately: "I understand." After finishing speaking, he immediately left the room and greeted the attendants on the left and right: "Did you hear all the orders of Lord Marquis clearly?" After speaking, he made a gesture of cutting his neck.

The attendants understood, nodded, and secretly stared at Jiang Qingshu.

Jiang Qingshu didn't know that the catastrophe was coming. He saw Yuan En approaching from a distance, so he stopped talking and looked at Yuan En.

Yuan En can also be regarded as a representative of a poor family. He came from a humble background, but he was promoted all the way to the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple, but it was a pity that he was relegated to the sixth rank by accident.

Just as he was thinking, Yuan En knelt down on the ground with a plop, which surprised everyone.

Yuan En scanned the surrounding people. Today, the most talented scholars in the capital are all here. As long as he tells the story, it will soon spread in the streets and alleys. If there is a single-minded person, I am afraid In the Chunwei exam in March, some people will use this as a topic.

When Marquis Dingnan saw him kneeling down with ashen face, he sensed something was wrong, and immediately called out: "Come here..."

"Master Hou, my lords." Yuan En spoke first before he could speak.

Marquis Dingnan rarely turned pale, so he secretly ordered the guards to find an opportunity to drag him out.

Now that Yuan En has made a start, he is not afraid anymore, holding his breath and complaining loudly: "Master Hou, I know that my time is numbered, but please tell the emperor for me that His Royal Highness King Jing has been with you for so many years. The local officials colluded and embezzled tens of millions of disaster relief silver, all of which were used to make firearms and arsenals..."

"Nonsense." When Marquis Dingnan heard these words, he felt chills down his spine after he had experienced many battles. Such things are considered true, but whoever dares to say it will be dead, and it will also cause trouble Those who know!

Yuan En was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was shaking, but thinking about the embroidery lady who was still in Xiulou, he gritted his teeth: "I'm not talking nonsense. I have followed King Jing for so many years, and I know everything..."

"Crazy, you are really crazy!" Dingnanhou walked out quickly, looked at the attendants on the left and right and said coldly: "What are you still doing, take him down!"

Immediately, an attendant came forward and dragged Yuan En out, and the people on the side were stunned.

Yuan En struggled and said: "Where are you taking me? I'm telling the truth, King Jing wants to seize the throne..." Before he could finish speaking, an arrow flew from the dark and pierced through broke his heart.

Everyone suddenly panicked, Jiang Qingshu also turned pale, and his hands trembled slightly. He had never seen a murderer before, especially if this person was still alive in front of him a second ago, let alone this person was an official of the court, even if he was killed Relegation, and he is still a sixth-rank adult...

He was blindfolded, Dingnan Hou also turned dark, and turned to look at Xiong Mao who was sitting on the side drinking tea slowly.He raised his hand to let the guards stop everyone outside, then walked into the flower hall and asked him in a low voice: "Did you order someone to do it?"

"Does Hou Ye want to see King Jing being slandered by traitors?" Xiong Mao looks a lot like Xiong Shilin, his short body is slightly fatter, but he is not as domineering as Xiong Shilin, but rather vicious as Xiong Shuli.

"But people died here, the government is going to investigate..." Before Dingnanhou finished speaking, he heard a loud shout from outside, and it turned out that King Ning had brought people here.

Xiong Mao paused slightly with the hand holding the teacup: "Why is he here?"

How did Marquis Dingnan know that during this period of time, Zhao Huaiyan was dragged by the emperor to familiarize himself with government affairs every day, and he was extremely busy, so how did he know that he came here suddenly when he was free.

He was anxious to walk back and forth, but he looked at Zhao Huaiyan who was coming towards him outside, after much deliberation, he hurriedly ordered his servants: "Hurry up and invite Madam, let Madam invite Miss Lin here."

Xiong Mao frowned: "What do you invite them to do?"

Before Marquis Dingnan explained, Zhao Huaiyan had brought someone in directly, and the servant who was about to go out to invite someone was also stopped by Gao Zhi.

Zhao Huaiyan's phoenix eyes were cold, and he glanced coldly at Xiong Mao who was sitting on the side, and said coldly: "Master Xiong, do you want to take a trip with this king?"

"My lord, what do you mean?" Xiong Mao was originally dissatisfied with Zhao Huaiyan, but now he blamed himself as soon as he came up, and immediately snorted: "Even if your lord wants to deal with me, Xiong Mao, you have to think of a reason, otherwise you have to ask King Xixi and Concubine De will agree!"

Gao Tian immediately clapped his hands, and the guards of Prince Ning's Mansion brought in a servant from outside, along with a bow and arrow.

When Xiong Mao saw the person was discovered, and then saw Gao Zhi's somewhat pitiful expression, he suddenly realized: "This is all planned by you?"

"What is the plan? Are you going to murder the sixth-rank officials of the court?" After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, he glanced at the silent Marquis of Dingnan, and said, "Come here, escort Xiong Mao to Dali Temple. This king will discuss this matter." Personally report to Father Emperor." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left.

It took only a quarter of an hour to come and go, but Xiong Mao's life and death were decided.

Before he could react, he only saw that Zhao Huaiyan had left.

Gao Jie immediately asked the guards to arrest him: "Lord Xiong, I'm afraid of witnesses, if you dare to do something in Dingnanhou's mansion, you must not be ordered by someone?"

When Xiong Mao heard this, he said angrily to him: "You don't want to slander King Jing, this is all done by me alone, and has nothing to do with others."

Seeing him, Dingnan Hou admitted it all at once, and he didn't know how to push the boy, so he couldn't help shaking his head, no wonder Xiong's family came out at the same time, Xiong Shuli could be the prime minister, but he has always been unknown, no matter how promoted he is waste.

Gao Tian silently glanced at Marquis Dingnan who was shaking his head, and then let someone escort Xiong Mao away.

Marquis Dingnan looked at it, and he lost the slightest interest in holding a poetry and painting meeting. The sixth-rank official was assassinated under his nose, and he didn't know what to say. The most important thing was that King Jing was afraid that because of this I really suffered a little bit, thinking about it this way, I hurriedly asked people to prepare official uniforms.

"What is the master preparing for the official uniform?" The servant was puzzled, Ding Nanhou sighed deeply, and said: "Of course it is to enter the palace. This time Yuan En died here and told so many secrets, it really hurt me .” He hated it, but Yuan Enren was dead.

He was just about to go to the inner room, paused, seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "Go and see if Yuan En's family is still there. If they are, look at them all." Yuan En's family will vent their anger on King Jing. He might not take all his anger out on himself.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists again angrily, cursed for committing crimes, and then left.

Jiang Qingshu has been watching from the outside. From Zhao Huaiyan's entry to his exit, he dare not look directly at him. The nobility and coldness of King Ning are innate, as if he was born to look down on the world.Such a person, he is afraid that even if he spends his whole life, he will not be able to hold a candle to him.Seeing that Xiong Mao, who was still aloof just now, was also taken away, he just felt that in this officialdom, human life is really worthless, a sixth-rank official, the cousin of the Concubine De, can be killed if he says he can.

Seeing that he was stunned, the young master on one side poked him and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." He came back to his senses.

The young master smiled: "Brother Qingshu, don't worry, with your talent and learning, you will definitely be on the list."

Jiang Qingshu smiled lightly, the only thing in his mind was the embroidered shoes that appeared in front of him that day, if he was on the list, would he be able to see her again?

He didn't know that the person he was thinking of at this time was just a wall away from him.

Lin Jinhua frowned slightly when she heard the news of Mo Feng's back and forth.

Seeing this, Wang Ruyan hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." She smiled, and perfunctory, but she was wondering why Zhao Huaiyan seemed to avoid herself deliberately.

"Then Master Yuan has also received his retribution. In order to help King Jing, he beat Mr. Lin and Master Lin so badly." Wang Ruyan couldn't help but sighed with such a temper.

Lin Jinhua smiled, Yuan En did what she said, and she would do what she said, and let his family leave safely.

Just as he was thinking, someone rushed over and pulled Lin Jinhua outside.

When Mo Feng saw it, he immediately opened her hand, only to find that Lin Jinhua's wrist was red from being dragged by her, and immediately said dissatisfied: "What are you doing?"

The maid stared at Mo Feng with a bit of anger, and then looked at Lin Jinhua: "As you said, my young lady is sick now, you should go and see quickly."

"If you're sick, just ask a doctor." Lin Jinhua said indifferently with her hands down.She knew who fell ill, and it must be Zheng Jiaojiao. As soon as Zheng Ruyi's matter was revealed, her narrow heart would definitely explode, and with the fanning of others, her stubborn disease would definitely recur. hay fever……

After hearing this, the servant girl's face immediately turned blue, and she wanted to grab her hand again arrogantly, but was grabbed by Mo Feng and immediately threw it away: "My lady is not your lady's servant, if you want to see a doctor, please go ask the doctor."

Wang Ruyan obediently did not speak.

Seeing that Mo Feng's opponent was not at all, the servant girl had no choice but to say coldly: "You will regret it if you don't save yourself." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and ran away.

After she left, the ladies who were with Zheng Jiaojiao came from the corner together, and they saw Lin Jinhua with a smile on their face.

"Miss Lin, don't worry about what happened before, it was all coquettishly forcing us." One of them, Huang Yi, said.

Lin Jinhua looked at her shining eyes when she was staring at him, and smiled slightly: "It's okay."

"That's good." She came over and took Lin Jinhua's arm and asked, "What else do you know about Zheng Ruyi?"

"That's right, tell us. I've always heard that she went to the street to give porridge. Everyone in the capital thought she was a good person."

"It's just..."

The jealousy on the faces of the ladies could hardly be concealed, and they didn't remember how they teased Lin Jinyu for fear of contracting the disease.

Lin Jinhua was also happy to tell them that she recounted Zheng Ruyi's story verbatim, and then said in a low voice: "If this story spreads, Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Jiangjun will definitely not let Miss Zheng go. , you must never tell outsiders."

Several people looked at each other, thinking that Lin Jinhua was stupid, and covered their lips and smiled.

Their ridicule, in the eyes of visitors, turned into a friendly smile. Zheng Jiaojiao was itchy all over because of allergies, and now she saw her sisters who usually played with her talking and laughing with Lin Jinhua. Immediately Holding up her skirt, she rushed over and scolded: "You white-eyed wolves, I'm not dead yet, you are in a hurry to climb her high branch! You don't know who she is? Her father even holds your father's fifth-rank official position!" Not as good!" Zheng Jiaojiao pointed to the most enthusiastic young lady in Huang Yi.

When Miss Huang Yi heard it, she felt humiliated, and immediately blushed but suppressed her anger and tried to please her with a smile: "Jiaojiao, you misunderstood, we are helping you to ask about your condition..."

"Snapped--!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Zheng Jiaojiao slapped her on the face: "I don't know what you ask me if you eat something that is inside and out. You are all waiting to see my jokes, but Zheng Ruyi and What does it matter to me?"

Miss Huang Yi was slapped in the face in public, and she didn't please her anymore, she gritted her teeth and said contemptuously: "You still called her cousin..."

"Snapped--!"

Zheng Jiaojiao was annoyed and slapped again, the lady in yellow stood up abruptly, gritted her teeth and looked at Zheng Jiaojiao: "Your father is only a first-rank Minister of the Ministry of War, and although my father is a fifth-rank, he is Hanlin, who is in front of the emperor, don’t bully me too much! And you’d better pray that your father will always be the minister of the Ministry of War!” After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ran away.

Zheng Jiaojiao wanted to catch up, so she heard Lin Jinhua's cool voice: "If Miss Zheng doesn't use the medicine, I'm afraid this face will be scratched."

Hearing this, Zheng Jiaojiao felt more and more itching on her face, she gritted her teeth slightly and stared at her: "You dare to offend me, you will pay the price."

"Wait." Lin Jinhua stood up and saluted lightly.She didn't want to cause trouble, but she wasn't afraid when it happened.After living for two lifetimes, she doesn't even bother with these little girls' tricks.

"You..." Zheng Jiaojiao snorted when she saw that she couldn't get in, turned her head and ran away.She only hated Zheng Ruyi who made her lose face today. This person is so shameless, he shouldn't be surnamed Zheng!
The servant girl behind hurriedly chased after her: "Miss, your illness..."

"Don't mention it again!" Zheng Jiaojiao stopped and pinched the servant girl tightly, as if there were still outsiders' mocking voices in her ears, she walked away quickly without looking back.His posture was very strange when he walked, but in fact his whole body was very itchy, and he had to rub his body to relieve the itching.

The rest of the ladies smiled politely at Lin Jinhua, looked at Zheng Jiaojiao's back, held back their smiles and hurriedly followed her steps.
When everyone left, Wang Ruyan said: "Jinhua, why do you offend Miss Zheng? She is used to being domineering, and her mother is handkerchiefed by Princess Duanhui. It is no good to offend her, not to mention that she has a relationship with the Zheng family. .”

Seeing her worried face, Lin Jinhua smiled slightly: "She will come to beg me in a few days." There was still some tickling powder left for the eldest lady today, and now it happened to be used for her.Moreover, the more related to Zheng Ruyi, the better. Zheng Jiaojiao knows that she is a good face at a glance, and she is not good at disguising. Once Zheng Ruyi becomes a label on her body, she will definitely want to tear her up more than herself.

Wang Ruyan knew that she was thinking the most, so she just bent her eyes and smiled.

Later, Wang Huiyuan came to pick up Wang Ruyan in person, and when he left, he still looked at Lin Jinhua with unkind eyes.

Lin Jinhua wanted to talk to him, but he left without saying a word except for a soft snort.

Mo Feng looked at Lin Jinhua who was leaning against the pillar of the porch, and expressed his doubts: "Miss, could it be Miss Si...really not dead."

"Did you find her body in the mass grave?" Lin Jinhua also felt strange, couldn't Zhao Kan's sword be fatal.

"There is a corpse, but it has long been impossible to identify whether it is her." Mo Feng said.

Lin Jinhua frowned slightly: "Let someone go to confirm again." After all, seeing that the poetry and painting meeting was going on almost as well, she thought that she should follow Mrs. Hou's original intention to check the pulse of other wives, so she went directly Don't stay any longer and get up.

When she arrived at Mrs. Hou's main courtyard, she happened to hear a lady telling Princess Duanhui how Lin Jinhua spread rumors about Zheng Ruyi and how she bullied Zheng Jiaojiao.

Seeing Lin Jinhua approaching, she silently closed her saliva-filled mouth, swallowed, shrank her neck and retreated.

Mrs. Hou glared at the mother-in-law who was following Lin Jinhua. The mother-in-law also looked confused. She thought that Lin Jinzhen was a distinguished guest, so she attracted him directly without waiting for the announcement. How could she expect such a good show.

Mrs. Luo was also a little embarrassed, and said with a quick smile, "Jinhua, why aren't you playing in the front yard?"

Lin Jinhua took a look at the spitting wife. The wife of the sixth rank and a thousand households is usually the most obedient, and there is a stupid son in the family who has always wanted to marry Zheng Ruyi.Seeing her spittle flying wildly and vividly, Lin Jinhua probably wanted to spoil Zheng Ruyi's reputation so that he could marry his stupid son back, otherwise how could they be worthy?
She lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, and replied to Mrs. Luo's words: "There are so many people, I think the place where the ladies live can be cleaner."

The saliva-flying Mrs. Qianhu immediately blushed like a pig.

Madam Luo wanted to laugh a little, so she quietly covered her mouth with a veil, and Madam Hou also smiled slightly, but Duan Hui, who was at the top, frowned coldly, glanced at her and said coldly: "It's not proper."

Lin Jinhua didn't know why she didn't like herself so much, and it was the same in her previous life.After thinking about it, she lowered her eyes and saluted, before saying: "My daughter is still young, please teach Her Royal Highness the princess if she is inappropriate."

"What do you say about Zheng Ruyi? You're going around ruining her reputation, and you dare to say that she is generally decent?" Duanhui didn't like Lin Jinhua when she saw her, just like her mother, and she didn't care if she was wrong or not. .

Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words, and no longer lowered her eyebrows to be pleasing to the eye, she just raised her head and said with a smile: "What I said was not a lie, and she was forced to say it. Her Royal Highness doesn't believe it, but people can't believe it." Go check it out, I have a clear conscience."

Duan Hui saw that she was not submissive at all, she disliked her even more, and reprimanded her: "You have a clear conscience, who gave you the courage to argue repeatedly in front of Bengong!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Mrs. Hou hurriedly said to Lin Jinhua, "Jinhua, if you admit your mistake, the princess will not punish you."

Lin Jinhua didn't intend to make things difficult for her, so she complied and saluted. She was pushed from behind and rushed towards Princess Duanhui.Duanhui was still holding tea in his hand at the moment, if Lin Jinzheng rushed over, his face would be ruined, and Duanhui would find a chance to punish her.

Just as Mo Feng was about to make a move, he was tripped by someone, and the outstretched hand failed to hold Lin Jinhua.

Seeing that Lin Jinhua was about to pounce, the tea in Princess Duanhui's hand was thrown directly at her face, and she was just about to be splashed on her face, but at the last moment, Lin Jinhua only felt a strong hand He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back before he managed to stand still. Before he could see the person clearly, he smelled the familiar fragrance near the tip of his nose. He was inexplicably aggrieved, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: " I thought you didn't want to see me."

When Zhao Huaiyan heard this, the city wall he had painstakingly built to warn him to stay away from her temporarily collapsed.He originally thought that he could protect her only by staying away from her. After all, he was bound to become the target of public criticism, but now it seemed that even his staying away would not be able to protect her, and those people would not be sensible.

Glancing at the culprit who was still standing behind Lin Jinhua, he stepped forward and kicked her out.

Everyone was stunned, and Yan Duanhui also stood up. She could see clearly that the one who was kicked out was Rumei, the maid she had arranged for her son.

A boy who came in to play a prank was frightened on the spot, and opened his mouth to cry. Zhao Huaiyan frowned slightly when he saw it, and stepped forward, picked him up and threw him out of the door.

Duan Hui was dumbfounded, and looked at him quickly: "What are you doing, Wei Ye is your own nephew!"

Zhao Huaiyan didn't even bother to sell her face, so she just stared coldly at Mrs. Qianhu who was spreading rumors, and then looked at Lin Jinhua: "Did you get hurt just now?"

Listening to his gentle and anxious tone, Lin Jinhua smiled slightly after standing still: "No."

"That's good." Zhao Huaiyan just finished speaking, and Rumei, who was kicked out just now, came back holding Ling Weiye who was crying loudly. She knelt down on the ground and cried bitterly: "Your Highness, please be the master. I don't know where I offended His Highness King Ning, and I will be beaten so badly by His Highness. Even if I did something wrong, the young master is innocent, he is so young."

As soon as these words came out, as if to encourage Ling Weiye, he grinned and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Zhao Huaiyan stepped forward and pointed out that he threw it out without any explanation, and then turned to look at Rumei.

Seeing him like this, Rumei took a step back in fright: "Wang... Wang Ye..."

"My king's person, how can you insult me?" Zhao Huaiyan's thin lips were slightly moaned, and before he could do anything, Rumei crawled out by herself in fright.

Duanhui was trembling with anger, looked at him and said angrily: "Zhao Huaiyan, are you crazy! Even if Rumei accidentally bumped into her, wouldn't she be fine? Do you want to kill Rumei and Weiye? ?”

Zhao Huaiyan glanced at her indifferently: "Auntie, do you think this king can't do it? Ling Weiye is still young, so you have to discipline him. If you teach a bastard dude, this king will break his leg himself!"

When Zhao Huaiyan said this, Ling Weiye was already standing at the door by himself, Zhao Huaiyan turned his head coldly to see that he stopped crying immediately, and when he wanted to cry, he just covered his mouth with his hand.

Seeing this, Zhao Huaiyan looked at Lin Jinhua tenderly, paused, and said, "If it's okay, I will take you back home."

"That lady's hidden illness is about to occur." Lin Jinhua glanced at Mrs. Qianhu. If I remember correctly, her hidden illness is not a serious illness, but it is extremely difficult to deliver, and when it occurs, she will become incontinent, and she will also fall into a state of madness.She smiled at her and said, "Madam, do you want me to feel your pulse?"

Mrs. Hou nodded hurriedly. She still wanted people to see Lin Jinhua's medical skills, but before she could open her mouth, Duanhui said for the lady: "I will invite the imperial doctor to see you, so I don't need to bother you. Since you are so honorable , I can't even mess with my palace, and you can't keep you in this third of the land, so go back."

Seeing her venting her anger on herself, Lin Jinzheng only sighed leisurely in her heart, but she didn't stay too long, and those who should come to her in a few days will still come to her.

After thinking about it, I went out with Zhao Huaiyan after meeting Mrs. Hou.

As soon as she left the door, the provocative voice of Mrs. Qianhu came from behind: "She most likely wanted to cling to the Yushifu, and didn't want her brother Lin Jincheng to marry Zheng Ruyi, so she slandered her reputation like this."

When Zhao Huaiyan heard this, she frowned and stopped. Before she could speak, someone pulled her sleeve carefully, and saw her slightly curved eyes, hiding cunning: "When she comes to beg me, she will know that she regrets it. "And her stupid son likes Zheng Ruyi, and I don't know how Zhao Kan will feel when he marries a woman who has been married to a fool...
