Chapter 70
The fire in the west chamber quickly ignited, smoke burst out from both places in the Xu mansion, all the servants and maids woke up, and the yard suddenly became chaotic.

Lin Jinhua was sitting in the room waiting for the news from outside. The servants and maids ran back and forth with basins, not noticing that there were more strange faces in the yard.

Lin Jinhua looked out from the window and saw the people outside. She lowered her eyes and sprinkled the powder in her hand into the burning oil lamp. Suddenly, a sweet fragrance came out, and those who wanted to approach stopped when they smelled the fragrance. , They knew that Lin Jinhua was good at refining medicine and making poison, but they would not get close to these strange smells.

The strange faces outside stopped for a while, seeing that the person projected by the window remained motionless, he hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

Seeing the people leaving, Lin Jinhua immediately looked at Mo Feng, Mo Feng understood, and immediately followed quietly, but Mo Xue was also injured before, thinking that these people not only came prepared, but also had extremely high martial arts skills, she dared not follow too close.

Lin Jinhua didn't go out of the room. She knew that there must be someone watching in the dark, so she waited for her to go out alone.

Not long after, there was a noise at the gate of the courtyard, and I took a closer look, who is it not the Xu family?And the mother-in-law who followed behind was still holding Cai'er who had fainted in her arms.

Seeing this, she ran out: "What's going on?"

"I don't know, Cai'er was thrown at the gate of my yard." Xu Zhaozhao rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at Lin Jinhua, then at the burning west chamber, and said, "Sister Jinhua, are you okay? I don't know what happened this night, but it was all on fire."

Lin Jinhua's brows tightened slightly, Xu Boshan and Mrs. Xu looked at each other, but he knew in his heart that it was probably someone who was plotting against Jinhua or the Xu family again.

Lin Jinhua said, "I'll move back to Lin's house first at dawn..."

"Wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to move back to the Lin family with a daughter? Even though my uncle is not as good at martial arts as your father, he is not afraid of those ghosts and monsters. You don't have to worry about it. Uncle will definitely investigate the arson matter carefully and bring those underlings in Xu's mansion to justice." Find out everything you do!"

Xu Chengqing also nodded, looked at her with a nonchalant smile and said, "Maybe it's just an accident, and it has nothing to do with you. It's just that you're on fire today, it's not safe, why don't you go to sleep in Zhaozhao's room tonight."

Xu Zhaozhao didn't have the slightest sign of fear, and nodded quickly.

Lin Jinhua's heart warmed slightly, but she was also wary.The person behind the scenes was able to take Cai'er away without anyone noticing, and deliberately threw Cai'er in front of Zhaozhao's gate. He must have wanted to warn her, but what was the warning for her?

Lin Jinhua looked at the Xu family with a smile, and said softly: "No need, this yard is very nice, the maids are all awake, and will be around to wait on you. It's getting late, and uncle has to go to court tomorrow morning, so don't worry about me."

Mrs. Xu wanted to persuade her again, but Xu Boshan saw that she insisted, so he only sent some more people to take care of her, and then went back.

Lin Jinhua sent them away, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Cai'er who was unconscious on one side, her eyes dimmed slightly.

So until dawn, Mo Feng didn't come back. Lin Jinyu waited for the gate of Xu's mansion to open, and immediately called the former old housekeeper and his son, made a marriage arrangement, and asked Lao Liu to secretly arrange for them to leave the capital.

Although Cai'er was reluctant to let go, she cried with tears in her eyes when she left, but she also knew that she didn't know martial arts at all, nor was she smart enough, staying would only cause trouble for Lin Jinhua, so she agreed no matter how reluctant she was.

Lin Jinhua didn't dare to see them off, but watched Lao Liu arrange them into the carriage, and immediately went back to the yard.

In the courtyard, neither Mother Yang nor Cai'er Bailan was there, so it was suddenly empty.

Today's weather is fine, with thick clouds in the sky, Lin Jinhua is sitting in the yard by herself, holding the jade butterfly in her hand and looking back and forth.Jade Butterfly only gets hot when it encounters Gu worms, and when it met Zhao Kan and the others yesterday, Jade Butterfly was even hotter. Could it be that they brought with them more or more powerful Gu worms yesterday? ?
It is expressly forbidden to keep Gu worms in private, but Zhao Kan had a sign when he appeared yesterday, so there must be more people in King Jing's Mansion.

Thinking about it this way, she suddenly thought of Huijue, who was finally summoned by the queen mother. After being silent for so long, he should play a role.

After thinking about it, she immediately got up and prepared the sedan chair to look for Madam Ding Nanhou, but before she went out, people from Luo Mansion came to the door, and Luo Shangshu himself came with her.

Luo Shangshu has a bit of Mrs. Wang's shadow, but he looks older than Mrs. Wang, and his facial features are cold and hard. When his face is dark, the corners of his mouth are drawn down, which is very creepy.

Xu Boshan went to court early in the morning, but he still hasn't come back, so Mrs. Xu personally received him into the house.

Luo Shangshu is not a dishonorable person, no matter how emotional he is, he only bursts out in the room: "Where is Lin Jinhua?"

"Master Luo, why are you looking for Jinhua? She is just a boudoir girl..."

"If you don't get her now, don't blame me for catching her out!" Luo Shangshu's anger was already written on his face, but he still restrained himself a bit when he spoke.

Mrs. Xu saw the clue, and only ordered Lin Jinhua to come over to the woman next to her, and then she looked at him and said, "Master Luo, I heard that Mrs. Luo is not feeling well recently, you are so angry, but because of this?"

"If you think about it, you already know." Luo Shangshu's voice became a little colder.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Xu tried again: "Then the lord came here this time, is he going to ask Jinhua to go and have a look again?"

Luo Shangshu didn't speak. He was skeptical about Lin Jinhua's medical skills before, but this time Mrs. Luo's illness broke out very quickly. Although the two imperial doctors said that there was something wrong with the prescription prescribed by Lin Jinhua, they Knowing that literati are inferior to each other, Doctor Liu and Doctor Zhang have always had prejudice against Lin Jinhua. This time it is not ruled out that it is a misdiagnosis caused by prejudice. The most important thing is that they are helpless against the old lady's illness. I hope for Lin Jinhua.

Not long after, Lin Jinhua came over.

Lin Jinhua turned back when she saw Luo's carriage at the door. She had always been suspicious of Mrs. Luo's illness. If someone tried to frame her by killing Mrs. Luo, the next one might be the son-in-law or Ding Nan. Madam Hou...

When we arrived at the flower hall, looking at Luo Shangshu who was full of anger, Lin Jinhua stepped forward to greet him unhurriedly, and then said: "Master Shangshu, if you don't mind, let's go and see Mrs. Luo first."

Luo Shangshu originally thought that she would at least argue first when she came here, but unexpectedly she didn't say a word.

He paused, looked at her hesitantly and asked, "Is there nothing you want to ask or say?"

"Although Jinhua has been practicing medicine for a long time, she will never prescribe the wrong medicine, and the old lady's illness is just a simple woman's disease. The symptoms are single and simple, so she can't go wrong. So since Mrs. Luo is sick , There must be a problem in a certain link, so Jinhua wants to go and see it first, and then make a conclusion. If Jinhua is wrong, he will never beg for mercy, and Lord Luo will just punish him." Lin Jinhua looked directly at him and said.

Hearing this, Luo Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you still have some guts, and I won't make things difficult for you, but if there is really something wrong with your medicine, I will never let you go lightly." , directly stepping out.

Mrs. Xu immediately took a step forward and took Lin Jinhua's hand and said, "Are you sure about this?"

"My medicine is fine." Lin Jinhua was very firm, but she could only know what the problem was after meeting Mrs. Luo.

"I'll let Zhaozhao go with you..." Mrs. Xu hurriedly said. Lin Jinhua remembered the threat from that person last night, looked at Mrs. Xu and smiled, "I want to ask Zhaozhao to do me a favor."

"What's the matter?"

"Help me go to the princess mansion, tell the concubine to be careful about his diet and strange people or smells recently, there is no need to say anything else." Lin Jinhua said.

Mrs. Xu understood what she meant and nodded, but still insisted: "I'll let Qing'er accompany you to Luo's house, otherwise I won't worry."

Seeing her like this, Lin Jinhua had no choice but to agree.

The group quickly boarded the carriage and headed towards Luo's Mansion, but Mo Feng was confused at this moment. She followed last night's people all the way to King Jing's Mansion, then from King Jing's Mansion to Ninth Prince's Mansion, and then to Zheng Mansion... He has acquaintances everywhere, and each time they chat for a long time, although they are all nonsense, until dawn, she gave up and continued to follow, because she found that these people were clearly dragging her on purpose.

She looked in the dark and was about to leave when the person who was staring suddenly turned her head and stopped her.

"Tell you ladies, don't try to compete with our master."

"Who is your master?" Mo Feng turned around and asked, the man just smiled coolly: "You will know in due time, you just need to tell her now that she is definitely not my master's match."

"If you don't tell me who your master is, how will my young lady know not to argue with her?" Mo Feng couldn't even guess whether their master was a man or a woman.

The man blinked, thought for a while, and then said: "When King Ning comes back from his work, you will know soon. What happened in the past few days, just treat it as the first meeting and say hello."

Seeing that he didn't intend to say anything, Mo Feng had no choice but to turn around and leave.

As soon as she left, the boy in gray smiled faintly, and slowly peeled off the disguised human skin on his face.

When Lin Jinhua arrived outside Luo's mansion, she felt that the jade butterfly had faintly started to heat up, but it was not as hot as when the Gu worm appeared, as if the Gu worm was still hiding deep in the mansion, but it could exude a strong sense of crisis up.

She followed Luo Shangshu all the way to Mrs. Luo's courtyard, and before she entered, she saw a familiar face.

Sun Wanwan was chatting and laughing with Zhao Kan from the inside, and just happened to see Lin Jinhua and Xu Chengqing coming towards her, her charming face froze all of a sudden.

Xu Chengqing had no feelings for her, he just glanced at her lightly, and then saluted Zhao Kan.

Zhao Kan narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said, "It just so happened that I never expected to meet Mr. Xu here. I told Wanwan just now that Mr. Xu is a good-looking talent. Although he doesn't have a position, he is stable. Yes, the future is bound to be limitless.”

"His Royal Highness King Jing has vision." Xu Chengqing seemed to have not heard him call Sun Wanwan's nickname, and smiled decently.

Seeing this, Sun Wanwan felt a little embarrassed, and simply hid behind Zhao Kan and remained silent.

Lin Jinhua only lightly held the jade butterfly in her hand, but the jade butterfly didn't get any hotter because it got close to the two of them. Could it be that the Gu worm wasn't on them yesterday?The one who was with them yesterday was just Zheng Ruyi.

Zhao Kan turned his head and looked at Lin Jinhua, and said, "Miss Lin..."

"The courtier is still in a hurry to see Mrs. Luo, so I wonder if the prince can let me go?" Lin Jinhua said directly.

Luo Shangshu also meant the same thing. Fortunately, Lin Jinhua had already opened her mouth, and her impression of her was a little better.

The smile on Zhao Kan's face faltered slightly, and he only sneered and said, "Naturally, Mrs. Luo's illness is serious, and we'll see if Miss Lin has the magic to recover."

Lin Jinhua lowered her eyes slightly: "Your servant should do her best."

Zhao Kan didn't stop him anymore, and retreated to one side, and then Lin Jinhua followed Luo Shangshu into the inner room in a hurry.

After arriving in the room, Jade Butterfly immediately became hot. Lin Jinhua looked up and saw that the person sitting beside Mrs. Luo's bed was Zheng Ruyi or who?That powerful Gu worm is on her body?

Mrs. Luo looked worried. When she saw Lin Jinhua coming, she opened her mouth and said nothing, but Zheng Ruyi pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin is here, hurry up and see the old lady." .”

"I'm afraid I have to ask Miss Zheng to go out first. It's better to leave Luo's mansion first." Lin Jinhua said calmly. Once she was there, she couldn't be sure whether Mrs. Luo's sudden illness was caused by Gu insects.

But she didn't say that, outsiders only thought she was doing this to save Zheng Ruyi's face, and they had a personal enmity with her.

Mrs. Luo frowned slightly, and said: "Miss Zheng is also a guest of Luo's residence, Miss Lin, why are you so aggressive?"

Xu Chengqing believed that Lin Jinhua was by no means such a person who had no regard for the overall situation, so he stepped forward and asked, "Jinhua, what's the reason?"

"Yes, but I can't say it now. Please ask Ms. Zheng to go out first, otherwise the disease won't be cured." Lin Jinhua didn't count on Mrs. Luo, but only looked at Luo Shangshu: "If Jinhua wanted to vent her personal anger, she wouldn't be so stupid. Let's tear ourselves apart with Miss Zheng here."

Zheng Ruyi's face was slightly red, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she just said generously: "Mrs. Luo, it's okay, Ruyi can go out first."

Mrs. Luo looked at her gratefully, feeling a little distressed for her.

Zheng Ruyi turned around and walked up to Lin Jinhua, politely gave her a salute, and said timidly: "Miss Lin, Ruyi knows that you don't like me all the time, so I will definitely pay attention next time, so that I won't appear in front of you and hinder you I just beg you to let me go."

Lin Jinhua glanced at Mrs. Luo's increasingly suspicious eyes towards her, and only sighed quietly: "Why did Miss Zheng put me in such an unrighteous place? After seeing Mrs. Luo's illness, I will explain to you."

"Blame me……"

"Okay." Luo Shangshu was a little impatient, so he could only hold back his temper and said to others: "It's good to send Miss Zheng outside for a while, don't wait too long." He is not confused, who is Zheng Lai, his daughter is probably okay Where to go, even though Mrs. Luo is soft-tempered, he has a clear eye and a clear heart.

After Zheng Ruyi heard the words, she knew that if she continued to talk, she would not be able to get anything good, so she just pretended to hold back her grievances and saluted Mrs. Luo, and then she withdrew.

As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua could feel the temperature of Jade Butterfly drop rapidly.

Then she looked at Mrs. Luo who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Her face was slightly black, but her cheeks were pale, and she looked like she was on the verge of death.

She went to the bed and took her pulse first. Judging from the seemingly non-existent pulse, it was indeed like being poisoned.

She paused, and said, "Bring the silver needle."

Xu Chengqing personally opened the medicine bag and took the silver needle for her.

Lin Jinhua pricked Mrs. Luo's finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and then stained it with a silver needle. After a while, the silver needle didn't change, but the jade butterfly gradually became hot.

After thinking about it, she took out the jade butterfly and put it on Mrs. Luo's pierced finger. Mrs. Luo immediately showed a painful expression on her face.
"What's the matter?" Luo Shangshu didn't understand, but asked anxiously.

Lin Jinhua had the answer in her heart, and she looked at him with a little seriousness: "Madam Luo probably has Gu worms in her body."

"Gu worms? How is this possible? No one in the capital feeds such things." Madam Luo panicked.

Luo Shangshu's face was also a little dark. If the Gu worms were found in the Luo Mansion, there would be people who would slander Mrs. Luo for raising Gu. There were too many dignitaries who deliberately slandered and harmed them because of Gu raising.

His face darkened slightly, and he looked at her: "Miss Lin, this is not a trivial matter."

"I understand, do you still want to save Mrs. Luo now?" Lin Jinhua retracted the jade butterfly, and Mrs. Luo's complexion immediately returned to normal.

Luo Shangshu looked at his mother, gritted his teeth slightly, and finally nodded: "Help!"

Only then did Lin Jinhua take out the silver needle again, and this time it directly pierced Mrs. Luo's wrist, causing blood to overflow. She quickly pressed the jade butterfly on it. After a while, Mrs. Luo's complexion became more and more ugly, and her breathing became short of breath.

Lin Jinyu was also a little uncertain. She found this method after she returned from Changle Nunnery and read a few ancient books related to Jade Butterfly. poison.

She didn't dare to be distracted, and carefully observed Mrs. Luo's state. Finally, when she was sweating on her forehead, a slippery black worm jumped out of Mrs. Luo's sleeve. It was the size of a thumb, and Lin Jinhua could recognize it. , which is exactly the same as what Zhao Kan used for himself.

Mrs. Luo screamed in fright, but fortunately Xu Chengqing's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he immediately took the tea cup on the side and put it in it, and everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.

Lin Jinhua watched Mrs. Luo's black complexion quickly dissipate, and then looked at the jade butterfly in her hand, but felt that half of her vitality and blood had been sucked away by it, and she felt weak when she exerted a little force to trembling.

"This is a Gu worm..." Lin Jinhua took a breath and said slowly.

Luo Shangshu believed it now: "How could there be Gu worms in the Luo Mansion..." She suddenly remembered that Lin Jinhua had insisted that Zheng Ruyi go out just now, and that Zheng Ruyi, who had never had much contact with the Luo Mansion, did come to visit suddenly two days ago, saying I want to see my mother, is it her?

Lin Jinhua put away the Jade Butterfly, and said: "I also recently read the ancient books, only to know that Gu worms can kill people. I heard that many strange people and strange things in southern Xinjiang came to the capital a few years ago. I am afraid that there is such a Gu breeder, and I Miss Zheng had to go out just now because the Gu insect smell on her body is more than a hundred times stronger than the one expelled from the old lady's body."

"Then why is she okay?" Mrs. Luo was a little disbelieving.

Lin Jinhua looked at her and said, "It is said in ancient books that there are two kinds of Gu worms that won't erode their hosts. One is called Lianxin Gu. I heard from my father that my distant relatives in the Lin family appeared there. There is another kind called Gu. Not only will the Gu mother not devour the host, but she will also protect it, because she wants to treat the host as the first bite of meat for the little Gu worms born in the future."

After hearing this, Mrs. Luo was frightened and disgusted, and almost vomited it out, but Luo Shangshu looked more serious: "Then what kind is it on Miss Zheng?"

"Anything is possible. Master Luo knows how to deal with this matter. Jinhua is just a doctor, so he won't participate." Lin Jinhua looked at him and said.She was not worried that Luo Shangshu would kindly remind Zheng Ruyi, they were still suspicious of Zheng Ruyi, and what they were most afraid of was that the leak of the Gu worm would cause disaster.

Luo Shangshu took a deep look at her and turned his face away.

Mrs. Luo has woken up in a daze at this moment. She didn't seem to know that she had been in a deep sleep for the past few days. Seeing Lin Jinhua, she was a little happy: "Why are you here?"

"Come to see you for Ruyan." Lin Jinhua ignored Luo Shangshu and smiled lightly.

"Ru Yan..." Mrs. Luo knew about Wang Ruyan, and she sighed when she heard her name: "My poor Yan'er."

"I'm afraid it's just the beginning. I met Mr. Zeng's aunt, Mrs. Ye, and she went around saying something. The Wang family and the Luo family will soon be the stepping stones of their Zeng family... I didn't hear clearly , I only want to marry a simple woman like Ruyan, I'm afraid I won't have a good life." Lin Jinhua sighed slightly and regretted.

When Mrs. Luo heard the words, her eyes immediately became sharp, but she didn't show it to Lin Jinzheng, she just shook her head regretfully: "What else can I do, if I don't marry, I will be stabbed in the back."

Lin Jinhua knew that if the Zeng family tried to use the Luo family in vain, Mrs. Luo would definitely force Wang Yushi to marry Ru Yan for the sake of the family's face, but now that she knew about it, she probably hesitated, and said, "I heard that when the queen mother was in her boudoir, Zeng There was a concubine who also suffered the same catastrophe. Later, the woman asked the master to cut a piece of her hair for her and offered it under the ever-burning lamp to replace her sins. Then the master instructed him to sit down for Guanyin as a jade girl, eat fast and chant Buddha for half a year. It would have been a good story if the wealthy family who married smoothly hadn't died of illness a few years ago."

Mrs. Luo also knew about this matter. It was the same as before, but after a famous master instructed her to sit down a jade girl for Guanyin, everyone rushed to marry him. Of course, the most important thing was that the woman not only Bingxue is smart, and has a country-like appearance, if it is used on Ru Yan, it is not impossible.

Mrs. Luo looked at Lin Jinhua with a smile, and said, "It's really a blessing for Ru Yan to have you as her confidant."

"The old lady was joking. I heard that there is a master Huijue in the palace who is already a living Bodhisattva among the people. Why don't the old lady ask and see if Ru Yan has this opportunity." Lin Jinhua continued.

Mrs. Luo immediately nodded.

Luo Shangshu looked at Lin Jinhua, who had a brilliant tongue, and then at the Gu worm sealed with a teacup on one side, his serious eyes became less serious, and after waiting for the old lady to rest, he personally sent her out, and said when he reached the door : "Miss Lin, this matter about the Luo Mansion..."

"I definitely won't say it, but it's not guaranteed that someone will spread it in my name. Master Luo, Jinhua's father and brother are not around now, and the prince has also left the capital. He doesn't want to get involved in anything, and he definitely doesn't want to cause a storm. You I should understand." Lin Jinhua stood with downcast eyes, compared to the tall Xu Chengqing, she looked even smaller and thinner.

Luo Shangshu has spent so many years in the big dye vat of the official department, so he didn't know the twists and turns, and just nodded: "The rest of the matter, I will personally investigate, if Gu insects appear in the capital, it is a death penalty. "

Seeing that he understood, Lin Jinhua didn't say any more.

When she came out of Luo Mansion, she saw Zheng Ruyi who seemed to be waiting for her.

Zheng Ruyi saluted with a smile, then stepped forward and said, "You found out?"

Lin Jinhua knew that she would know that he could find the Gu worm, but she was interested in her: "The Gu worm on your body, if it is not the heart-linking Gu, it is the Gu mother."

"What is the heart-linking Gu? What is the mother Gu?" Zheng Ruyi thought of the disgusting Gu worm that he ate, and he was always terrified.

"The so-called heart-linking Gu is that two Gu worms that can sense each other exist in different hosts, and they can perceive each other's pain, joy, and life and death. In other words, if one of you dies, the other will die too. , do you think that the person who feeds you Gu worms will eat heart-linking Gu with you?" Seeing her, Lin Jinhua didn't know that she was probably being used by Zhao Kan.However, Zhao Kan was a person who had used him up in his previous life, so he dealt with him with a glass of poisoned wine. In this life, Zheng Ruyi, who he loved so much in his previous life, did the same thing.

Zheng Ruyi's face was slightly pale, and she forced herself to look at her calmly: "What is a Gu mother?"

"A Gu mother is a mother who can give birth to countless small Gu worms. When she matures, thousands of Gu worms will eat your flesh and blood from your body alive and crawl out. The deadline is less than a year..." Lin Jinhua Tell her the truth, looking at her suddenly pale face, I know that it is probably a Gu mother, Zhao Kan is really ruthless.

She shook her head violently, and looked at Lin Jinhua with a sneer: "Do you think I will believe you? I ate this food myself, and I know it better than you!"

The corner of Lin Jinyu's mouth curled up slightly: "Then you hope to give birth to the Gu mother in your body well, and don't let me expose it."

Zheng Ruyi felt numb all over her body, and it was not until Lin Jinhua walked away from her that she called out to her back: "Do you think you can beat me? I don't care about anything, unlike you, who care about everything. weakness!"

Lin Jinyu's palms were slightly clenched, but her steps didn't stop. She didn't close her eyes coldly until she got into the carriage.

Xu Chengqing sat on one side with a serious expression; "Jinhua, what kind of grudge do you have with Miss Zheng?"

"Cousin, let's go to the silk shop." She can't panic, she can't be messed up, once she gets messed up, people will take advantage of the opportunity and crush her in one blow!
Seeing her huddled in the shadow of a corner of the carriage, Xu Chengqing stopped asking, and ordered the carriage to divert to the silk and satin shop under her name.

Since Zhu Wucai left, the silk and satin village has still maintained its normal operation, because the manager here is Miss Zhang, whom Lin Jinhua invited earlier.

Lin Jinhua got out of the carriage and walked into the shop to take a look. The layout seemed to have been changed, making it clearer, more organized, and cleaner. The shop was full of beautiful girls, all wearing the same clothes. Wearing the same hair accessories, with a standard smiling face showing eight teeth, when people come, they just say neatly and sweetly without even looking at them: "Welcome to Xuji Silk and Satin Shop."

Lin Jinhua blinked, Xu Chengqing also thought it was funny, and said with a smile, "Where's the shopkeeper?"

"The shopkeeper is on the second floor. The servants should guide the young master and the master up." The little girl smiled and bent her eyes.

Lin Jinhua felt strange: "You know me?"

The little girl still smiled sweetly: "The shopkeeper asked someone to draw your portrait and put it on the second floor. Let us see it every day, in case you suddenly come over and wait for you."

"It's smart." Xu Chengqing laughed.

Lin Jinhua also thought that Miss Zhang was a strange and clever person.

After looking at it, she was not in a hurry to see her, and said: "Since that's the case, tell her that she will also take care of the remaining four shops."

The little girl was slightly taken aback, Lin Jinhua had already turned her head and left.

When she saw the person leaving, she murmured: "I thought the shopkeeper was strange enough, but this lady master is even more strange."

"Little girl, she said bad things about me behind my back, and I will punish you for half an hour."

When the woman's voice came, the little girl only shrank her neck, turned her head to look at the shopkeeper who stretched her neck from the side of the stairs, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to say anything wrong with you, please let me go."

"It's just your sweet talk." Zhang Xiaofang looked at Lin Jinhua's back going far away, and muttered with her chin in her hand: "The ancient people are really strange, but this Miss Lin seems to be enlightened, maybe I can really earn a lot of money here Yinzi, and then kidnap a beautiful boy back to modern times?" She squinted her eyes and smiled in satisfaction, looking at a sword in her hand that hadn't been opened for a long time, and shook her head: "Forget it, it's not interesting to make money in the rivers and lakes..." After finishing, He turned his head and went upstairs again.

Lin Jinhua left the silk and satin village and went to Dingnanhou's mansion. She also had to go to the palace to meet Huijue.

At this moment, Zheng Ruyi, because she knew that her body was the Gu mother, did not go directly to King Jing's Mansion, but went back to the Zheng Mansion first, but just at the gate of the Zheng Mansion, she saw that she was bringing her son to ask for money. Mrs. Liu.

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Liu knew how to be polite, and said with a smile, "Ruyi, where did you come from?"

Zheng Ruyi glanced at her lightly, not even willing to perfunctory, and walked in directly.

As soon as she left, the tall man next to Mrs. Liu who was still drooling threw her on her, hugged her tightly in his arms and shouted vaguely: "Sister Ruyi, play with me and don't leave..." Said Come on, if you can't wait, go to untie your belt.His mother told him that he wanted to play like this with the concubines in the room.

Mrs. Liu was also taken aback, she hurriedly pulled him away, pushed Zheng Ruyi out, and then smiled at her: "Children are ignorant, but Miss Zheng, you should be more careful next time, don't put on such heavy makeup , in the eyes of men, this is seduction..."

Zheng Ruyi turned blue with anger, and looked at him coldly: "Go home if you have nothing to do..."

"How can it be all right? You haven't given the 1 taels yet." Mrs. Liu is not in a hurry anyway, she is best at stalking with nice words.

Seeing that she didn't know how to restrain herself, Zheng Ruyi was so angry that her temples throbbed, she turned her head and walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zheng Jiaojiao approaching him, gritted his teeth slightly, covered up his arrogance, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Jiaojiao, why are you..."

"Stay away from me." Zheng Jiaojiao hurriedly took a step back and looked at her contemptuously, and deliberately fanned the air in front of her nose, as if to disperse some unpleasant smell.

Zheng Ruyi knew that she didn't like her, so she just stood there, her eyes turned cold: "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing? Don't you know what you did? If you want to die, you can die yourself. Don't drag the Zheng family down." After finishing speaking, she walked away with a little pride.

Hearing this, Zheng Ruyi gritted her teeth slightly, and saw that Mrs. Zheng had already heard the news and walked up to her. Before she could salute, she slapped her hard on the face: "Unfilial daughter, you will kill me!" Are you and I right?"

"Ruyi doesn't understand..." Zheng Ruyi covered her face, barely holding back her tears.

"I don't understand?" Mrs. Zheng gritted her teeth slightly: "You quietly released Mrs. Ye and ordered her to kill Concubine Lin, didn't you?"

"I do not have……"

"No?" Mrs. Zheng's voice became even sharper: "Jiaojiao went to the government to find out. I thought about it. Who else can do this besides you? You went to King Jing's mansion to marry. Now, if the government finds out when the time comes, you will be a drag on my Zheng family, do you know that?"

"Then what do you want to do!" Zheng Ruyi was a little desperate. Whether her relatives were the same or not, she looked at Mrs. Zheng indifferently: "Otherwise, you might as well drive me out of the Zheng residence."

"Don't even think about it, but I want you to promise that if something happens, you will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with the Zheng family!" Mrs. Zheng threatened coldly.

Zheng Ruyi saw that she was reluctant to take advantage of her and did not want to cause trouble, so she just snorted coldly, turned her head and walked away.

Since Zheng Jiaojiao can't tolerate her like this, then don't blame herself for being cruel!There are Liu's mother and son, and Lin Jinhua, she will definitely not make them feel better!

The beggar, who seemed to be dozing off against a big tree not far outside Zheng's mansion, saw Zheng Ruyi and ran out angrily, then slowly packed his things and left quietly.

Lin Jinhua went all the way to Dingnanhou's mansion. Coincidentally, Zeng Xuehai was also there today, and he was talking to Dingnanhou. Only then did he turn his gaze to her. After a long time no see, she has grown up a bit, her facial features are brighter, and her body has developed better.

Mrs. Dingnanhou sat on one side with her stomach supported, and when she saw her coming, she said with a smile: "Sit down quickly, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you forgot me." Mrs. Dingnanhou seemed to be joking, but in fact she said it in her heart In other words, Lin Jinhua's reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Even Princess Duanhui didn't make things difficult for her because of her son-in-law. She thought that Lin Jinhua had already climbed up to the high branch of the princess and looked down on herself.

Lin Jinhua smiled lightly, and said, "Jinhua thinks she has a deep friendship with Madam. Could it be that Madam doesn't think so? It's just that there are so many miscellaneous things recently that I took time out. Please forgive me, Madam."

Seeing her sincerity, Madam Dingnanhou burst out laughing: "I'm joking with you, you really took it seriously, didn't you just come here two days ago?"

Lin Jinhua smiled, noticing the strange gaze of Marquis Dingnan, paused, and said, "Madam is three or four months old, is the fetus still stable?"

"The fetus is fine, thanks to you and Master Huijue." Mrs. Hou laughed.

Lin Jinhua smiled: "It's been a long time since I saw the master, and I still want to ask him for a blessing to drive away the recent bad luck."

"If you say that, I'd like to see you too. How about we go to the palace together tomorrow?" Mrs. Hou said hastily.

Lin Jinhua knew that she was short-tempered, and that's why she said all this just now, so she nodded naturally, but she listened to Ding Nanhou and said, "It's just right, the Marquis of Japan will also enter the palace tomorrow, please ask the emperor to give Xuehai a marriage."

Zeng Xuehai glanced at Lin Jinhua provocatively. Now that King Ning is away and he is in Dingnan Hou Mansion, he is not afraid of Lin Jinhua, so he just smiled and said, "Then thank you uncle, Yan'er is a good girl, I can't If you lose her, wait for the emperor to give you a marriage, it is best to advance the wedding date, I am already impatient."

What he said was outrageous, but Ding Nanhou just smiled knowingly, and Lin Jinhua knew that they were also the same.But Ruyan went to Puji Temple with a broken heart. If she was given a marriage at this time, it would definitely be the last straw that crushed her.

Regardless of Zeng Xuehai's provocation, Lin Jinhua only glanced at Mrs. Hou, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hou, when I came here, I saw that the flowers in the yard were in full bloom. Why don't I help you go for a walk? Pregnant women should move more and give birth later." It won't be too painful."

"Okay, I'm feeling tired too." She nodded with a smile.

Seeing that she didn't refute, Zeng Xuehai wanted to say more, but suddenly Xu Cheng Qingche gave her a sinister look, he hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lin Jinhua took Mrs. Dingnanhou away smoothly, and chatted with her about the boudoir chores. While walking, Lin Jinhua suddenly stopped, pointed to a seemingly inconspicuous clump of grass by the roadside and said: Got rosemary?"

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Dingnanhou didn't care.

Lin Jinhua covered her lips with a light smile, and whispered in her ear: "Rosemary mixed with other spices can be a good aphrodisiac..."

"This..." Mrs. Dingnanhou touched her belly: "I may not have served Lord Hou for a long time.

"Madam should be more careful." Lin Jinyu blushed slightly, paused, and said in a low voice: "If you are worried that Master Hou has gone to another aunt's room, Madam can try other methods."

Mrs. Dingnan Hou saw that her face was as red as boiled shrimp, she paused, and suddenly remembered the manual and...

She also blushed slightly, but asked her in a low voice: "What kind of medicine do you want to mix it with, will it be discovered?"

Lin Jinhua talked about a few spices before saying, "After mixing it and putting it in the incense burner, it smells as good as ordinary incense. But Madam Hou, you must be careful."

The man from Dingnanhou's mansion covered his lips and smiled lightly, but nodded with bright eyes.

Lin Jinhua smiled and lowered her eyes, but the shyness in her eyes just turned into coldness. After smoking this spice, Marquis Dingnan will not be able to wake up and go to court tomorrow afternoon. As for Zeng Xuehai...

After Lin Jinhua said goodbye to Mrs. Hou, she saw the little beggar who had been staring at her near the carriage. Knowing that it was the sixth child, she sent Xu Chengqing away to lead the carriage first, before she stepped forward and said, "But something happened?"

The little beggar said everything he heard in front of Zheng's mansion: "Lao Liu is not here, I was afraid of delaying Miss's business, so I rushed here."

Seeing that he was young, Lin Jinhua asked, "What's your name?"

He scratched his head shyly, and said, "Young little name is Peanut."

"Okay, Peanut, I want you to do something for me now."

Peanut hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at her seriously: "Miss, please tell me, Peanut will definitely get it done!"

Lin Jinzheng's eyes froze slightly, what she had to do was to let Zeng Xuehai learn the lesson!
