"Dongdongdongdongdong." Cui Zhen knocked on the Gu family's door.

The manager of the Gu family was holding a lamp, and he was shocked to see clearly the person outside. The man was covered in armor and his hair was covered with scattered, standing in the dark like a ghost.

"you……"

As soon as the manager spoke, Cui Zhen walked up to him.

"Marty Dingning...Marty..."

Although he saw the person's face clearly, the manager was still shocked. How could Dingning Hou become like this?

Cui Zhen said: "I have something to look for my aunt."

The manager immediately ordered someone to report, and then brought Cui Zhen into the main hall.

When Mrs. Lin heard the news, she immediately got up and put on her clothes. It was not yet Mao's hour, so why did Brother Zhen come to the door at this time? Could something happened to Zhao Gongren again?

Mrs. Lin walked out of the house quickly and saw the manager coming over and said, "Madam, I asked the Marquis's entourage, Marquis... The Marquis just forced the Grandpa to ask about the old Marquis' death. From that point of view, the old Marquis seemed to have been killed by Lin Sizhen."

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but stop: "What?"

The manager's mother nodded: "The Marquis must have come here for this."

Mrs. Lin looked at the heavy rain outside. Even though she walked in the corridor of hand-copying, she felt the chill of the autumn rain.

"Let someone take the charcoal fire over."

After Mrs. Lin gave the order, she speeded up. Brother Zhen was surely sad when something happened at home. He was Dingning Marquis again and wanted to support the entire Cui family. No matter how good people were, he could not be weak. However, the uncle killed his father and involved his mother. Even if he was calm, he would not be able to withstand such a blow.

Mrs. Lin thought about entering the main hall, and her eyes immediately fell on Cui Zhen. She was mentally prepared along the way, but she was still shocked when she saw Cui Zhen.

Cui Zhen seemed to be fine on the surface, but his whole body was as embarrassed as his scattered hair.

The rain on the armor fell down and wet the ground, and he kept hanging his head, immersing himself completely in the darkness.

"Brother Zhen," said Mrs. Lin, "You came here in the rain." It would be fine if you were in the rain, but why was your hair still loose?

"Hurry and ask someone to find a clean clothes and then bring a cloth towel." Mrs. Lin ordered.

"Auntie, no need to worry," Cui Zhen said lightly, "I will leave after saying a few words to my aunt."

The servant put more lamps in the main hall to illuminate Cui Zhen's face more clearly. His expression seemed calm, but there was an unconcealable fatigue in his eyes.

Cui Zhen said, "I have found some evidence now, and I guess Lin Sizhen deliberately killed my father back then."

When Mrs. Lin heard Cui Zhen say this in person, she still couldn't help but feel shocked: "Why did he do this?"

Cui Zhen raised his head: "The Shanxi mutiny that year may have been falsely accused, and the people of the Old General Zhao were not rebels at all.

They guarded Yulin Guards to the death and were loyal ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. My father didn't know where to learn about the grievances of General Zhao and wanted to go to the capital to report to the court. Lin Si was really afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he robbed and killed my father halfway."

Mrs. Lin heard this and said, "Did you notice it at that time?"

Cui Zhen said: "At that time, Lin Sizhen and the guards at home sent my father home, saying that his father had a stroke and fell off the horse's back and was injured. After being carried back, my father remained unconscious. I was so fashionable and young that he was naturally unsure of him. Until one day, my father woke up and grabbed my hand and vaguely called Lin Sizhen's name. I became suspicious and paid attention to inquire about this matter.

The guard who followed my father to leave said that when he heard Lin Sizhen quarrel and fight with my father, my father fell down the mountain. I told my mother about this. My mother defended that Lin Sizhen was to stop her father from leaving, but his father suddenly attacked him, and he had to fight with his father. During the fight between the two, his father fell from the top of the mountain.

I wanted to go to the yamen to sue Lin Sizhen, but my mother also said that General Zhao and others were traitors. My father insisted on seeking justice for the traitors. In the future, he would kill the entire Cui clan. Lin Sizhen was also for our sake..."

After Cui Zhen said this, he lowered his eyes. He believed Lin Sizhen and his mother. Seeing his father's unjust death, now thinking about the situation at that time, his father repeatedly shouted: Lin Sizhen may not have pointed out to him that Lin Sizhen was the murderer who harmed his father, but wanted to expose the evil deeds of Lin Sizhen and others in framed loyalty. He did not understand his father's painstaking efforts.

Mrs. Lin looked at Cui Zhen, so this was the gap between Cui Zhen and her elder sister. Just as she wanted to comfort Cui Zhen, she saw the droplets of water flowing down Cui Zhen’s hair seemed to have a hint of red.

In surprise, Mrs. Lin looked carefully again. There seemed to be blood on Cui Zhen's neck.

Mrs. Lin stood up and said, "Brother Zhen, are you injured?" Why are you still injured while wearing armor? Where did you get hurt?

"Go and invite the doctor." Mrs. Lin whispered to the manager.

"Auntie..." Cui Zhen still wanted to refuse.

"If you still think I am an aunt, just follow my arrangements," Mrs. Lin raised her jaw with a firm expression on her face. "You can't tell many things to people outside, but you can tell your aunt that when you were only one or two years old, your mother was seriously ill, and your aunt went to Cui's house to take care of you. At that time, you could just walk and always chased her aunt and ran in the corridor. You may not remember these things... But whenever your aunt thinks about it, her heart is warm. Watching you grow up and make contributions repeatedly on the frontier, your aunt is also honored.

Brother Zhen, your mother did something wrong, but don’t be too sad. You have other relatives, wives, brothers, and tribe members. People always have to look at it well in order to live a stable life.”

Mrs. Lin changed her gentleness in the past. These words were so powerful that Cui Zhen was a little surprised. He had not heard such seemingly majestic but full of concern for a long time.

Is he sad?

When he decided to do this, he expected the result, so how could he be sad?

But when his mother called Cui Wei over and over again, he also felt a puffy pain in his chest.

"Cui Wei, Cui Wei..." When I was so anxious, my mother never called his name once.

The eldest son acts recklessly.

This is also what he looks like in his mother's heart.

Perhaps the moment he stubbornly went to the yamen, he was already dead in his mother's heart.

...

Mrs. Lin walked out of the house and asked the doctor and servant to come in to change clothes to treat Cui Zhen's injuries.

Seeing the servant lifting out the bloody armor, Mrs. Lin took a breath. When she heard that the injury was stabbed by Mrs. Lin with her own hands, she felt even more sad. No wonder Brother Zhen refused to treat the injury.

Cui Zhen's wound was wrapped and he changed into clean clothes. Mrs. Lin ordered the kitchen to deliver some food, but Cui Zhen refused to eat it and sat alone in the room.

Mrs. Lin stood outside the door, her face full of anxiety, holding a plate of pastries in her hand, wondering if she should go in and persuade her.

Gu Mingzhu looked at her mother under the corridor and sighed. She could see that her mother liked Cui Zhen very much. Every time her father mentioned Cui Zhen, her mother could not hide her smile, so when she saw Cui Zhen like this, her mother was so worried.

Gu Mingzhu walked over and gently pulled Mrs. Lalin's sleeve.

Mrs. Lin smiled when she saw Zhuzhu's face: "Zhuzhu goes back to the house, it's cold here."

It's cold here, and my mother is a double-body person, so she shouldn't have stayed outside for too long. Gu Mingzhu's hand was on the back of Mrs. Lin's hand, and it was indeed cold.

Gu Mingzhu suddenly felt distressed. Her mother was also a stubborn person. She forgot about herself when she was concerned about others.

Thinking of this in his heart, Gu Mingzhu reached out to get the snacks from Mrs. Lin's hand.

Mrs. Lin whispered: "Zhuzhu, this is for..."

"For brother," Gu Mingzhu's voice was crisp, "I'll go and give it to you."
