Lin Xi said matter-of-factly: "I saw it in the storybook. Generally speaking, not all secrets in such a large mansion must be kept secret. To prevent anyone from leaking out, everyone in the courtyard will be executed."

Having said this, Lin Xi looked at the door cautiously, moved closer to Shen Chen, and whispered: "Did you listen to what Huaijin said just now? If there are any servants who dare to leak in the yard, they will be killed! That's not the case. Human life, he said it so easily. I immediately realized that Huaijin is our young master after all, and he is different from ordinary people like us."

"Besides, this thing is really unbelievable. I think the old lady is a kind-faced person. From what the mother said, the old lady treats her daughter-in-law well. In this way, the lady still dares to murder her mother-in-law. If she is called If outsiders know that something like this happened to the Yi family, their reputation in the entire Jinling City will be ruined. The consequences are so serious that they cannot even be imagined."

Therefore, Lin Xi reasonably suspected that if she did not propose to leave the house first, she might not be able to leave.

Just now she saw that Yi Huaijin was still a child after all, and he was so angry when something like this happened. If Uncle Fu and Aunt Chang hadn't been there, he wouldn't have been able to regain his composure.

Yi Huaijin also heard what Uncle Fu and Nanny Chang said. But they were still very wary of her and Shen Chen. If they advised Yi Huaijin to watch what they said, Yi Huaijin might also listen. .When the time comes, it will be really difficult for them to leave the house.

The more he thought about it, the more Lin Xi felt that it was too wise for them to leave the house at this time.

Seeing Lin Xi's expression change, Shen Chen raised his hand and pinched her cheek, saying: "The Yi family, a Qingliu family, would not do such a thing. In fact, those servants have all signed the contract. If they have not violated Big mistake, the master will not really kill the salesman easily. Because if the reputation of harshly criticizing the servants spreads, it will do no harm to them."

"real?"

"real."

Shen Chen nodded.

Lin Xi leaned against him and put some snacks.

Although she had been in ancient times for almost two years, she still couldn't get used to the fact that human life was like a piece of grass.

Then Lin Xi thought of the old lady again. He hesitated and asked, "Shen Chen, do you know where the old lady was from?"

Shen Chen said: "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

Lin Xi said: "Well... when I was treating her, I saw that her face didn't look like ordinary people, so I was a little curious."

Shen Chen thought about it and said: "You guessed it right, she is indeed not an ordinary person. The Yi family is a famous family in Jinling for three reasons. One is because the Yi family has many talented people, and the other is because Yi Hong's generation He had the merit of following the dragon and gave his full support to Taizong when he came to power. As a result, several members of the Yi family died in the war and the family members withered. Taizong felt guilty and allowed to make an exception to promote the descendants of the Yi family into official positions."

Lin Xi took a breath: "Yi Huaijin has such a powerful background!"

Shen Chen said: "Yes, that's why Master didn't suggest that you and I come. It's not a good thing to be associated with such a family."

Lin Xi murmured: "Oh my God, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come. I just want to be an ordinary citizen! But our Dabao is so lucky that we can meet such an unassuming person in a private school." Dewy character!”

She asked: "What about the third reason?"

Shen Chen said: "Third, it's about this old lady."

"The old lady is the descendant of the old Chu royal family of the previous dynasty. After Da Qin absorbed the old Chu, the old lady represented the royal family at that time and submitted to Da Qin, which avoided many fearless disputes and promoted the integration of old Chu and Da Qin. Therefore, Taizu specially gave the old lady The body of man's destiny."

Lin Xi understood, "In other words, this old lady is a stabilizing factor. If she lives well, she represents Da Qin's generosity in leading the old Chu queen. She can comfort the old Chu tribe and make them surrender to Da Qin heartily, right? "

Shen Chen nodded.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and said: "Oh my god, this old lady is such an important person! How dare I come to treat her in the first place?"

If one person is not properly diagnosed, wouldn’t her head be in danger?

Shen Chen comforted: "It's over now. Madam, I believe in your medical skills. You saved her."

Lin Xi suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice with some trepidation: "Shen Chen, do you still remember my jade pendant?"

Shen Chen's expression paused slightly.

Lin Xi probed: "Do you think the old lady and I..." have some kind of biological relationship.

Lin Xi didn't say the next words, but she believed that Shen Chen must have understood.

Shen Chen was silent for a long time and said, "I don't know."

Lin Xi asked again: "Look, Shen Chen, Da Qin is still very good to the Queen of Old Chu, which means it can tolerate the Queen of Old Chu. If I were to..."

"no."

Shen Chen interrupted Lin Xi categorically.

Lin Xi was startled.

Shen Chen touched her head and whispered: "You and this old lady are different in nature. Back then, Taizu only gave Old Chu a place to submit. Da Qin can accommodate a royal family that submits. No less than the second one. Moreover, the old lady was no longer young at that time and happened to be married to the Yi family of Jinling."

And Lin Xi is still too young.

Not only is Lin Xi young, he is also her husband.

The imperial court will never allow such an old Chu royal family to exist.

Lin Xi broke out in a cold sweat for no apparent reason. He was silent for a long time and said: "I know, don't worry, I will keep my identity well hidden. Besides, it's still uncertain. Maybe, that jade pendant was just picked up by me when I was young. Arrived."

Shen Chen hummed, but could not hold back and hugged Lin Xi tightly, whispering in her ear: "No matter what, I am here, and I will protect you forever."

Lin Xi never doubted this.

She hugged Shen Chen tightly and thought, if the old lady is really related to her by blood...

No, no, there is one more thing.

Lin Xi said: "I'm a little surprised. The old lady looks a bit like a playmate of mine when I was young."

Shen Chen thought for a moment and said, "The one who was adopted by the Lin family together with you?"

Lin Xi nodded.

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "Perhaps she is the one who has something to do with Master Li, not you. Let's wait until the old lady wakes up first."

Lin Xi thinks so too.

The old lady hasn't woken up yet, so why should she scare herself?

However, if Lin Zijin and the old lady are really related, didn't the old lady have contacts with the family where Lin Zijin went back when she was in Beijing in the past? Doesn't anyone think they look alike?

It's also possible that she admitted her mistake.

"Oh, these things are too complicated. I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's take it one step at a time. Let's go to the inn to stay first." Lin Xi said, suppressing all the miscellaneous and confusing thoughts.

Shen Chen rubbed her head and hummed soothingly.

The two inquired about it and decided to stay at the famous Tongzhou Inn, so that the Yi family could come to see them when something happened.

Because Lin Xi now hopes that the old lady can recover, and privately wants to take care of it.

Before that, Lin Xi's mind was entirely on business.
