Lin Xiao quickly snatched the pillow from Chen Yun's hand and handed it to the woman:
"Aunt Liu, here, I found your son for you!"
I thought that the woman would continue to treat the pillow as her son, but who would have thought that the woman glared at Lin Xiao angrily and angrily said:
"This is a pillow! Do you think I am a three-year-old child? You lied to me!"
Lin Xiao had a look of embarrassment on his face, lowered his head, and did not dare to say a word.
"Where is my son?!"
"Where is my son?!"
The woman started crying again, grabbed the pillow and beat it hard.
"Aunt Liu, me"
Lin Xiao was about to speak but stopped, not knowing what to do.
"What are you talking about? Tell me quickly, where is my son?"
the woman roared.
At the side, Aqiu quickly took the woman's arm and comforted her softly:
"Aunt Liu, don't worry, you're hungry. I'll prepare delicious food for you. You won't have the strength to go find it until you're full!"
The woman was startled when she heard this, then nodded repeatedly and looked at Aqiu longingly:
"Quickly, get me something to eat, I'm hungry!"
"okay!"
Ah Qiu responded with a smile while briefly bandaging the woman's injured forehead, and then went to work in the simple kitchen.
The woman acted as if nothing was wrong, treating the pillow as her own child, humming a lullaby while patting herself to sleep, and casting apologetic smiles at Lin Xiao and Chen Yun from time to time.
It seems that the only witness is so crazy that even if she is taken to Beijing, she will not be able to identify anything.
Fortunately, when the woman went crazy just now, Lin Xiao had already obtained useful information. She just had to wait until she returned to the capital to find a way to confirm it!
After a while, Aqiu made some grain cakes with some of the food she brought. The woman ate them with gusto, and warmly invited Lin Xiao and Chen Yun to eat together.
Seeing the woman devouring her food, Lin Xiao became more determined not to take her back to the capital to serve as a witness.
Before leaving, Lin Xiao gave Ah Qiu two ingots of silver so that he could have some free time.
Go to the hospital in the city and ask the doctor to take a look at the woman.
On the way back to the capital.
Lin Xiao sat in the carriage, looking at the green scenery passing by outside the window, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Along the way, Lin Xiao fell into silence.
Chen Yun didn't dare to say anything when he saw this, so he had to quietly guard Lin Xiao.
The carriage was racing along the official road.
"Mr. Lin, we are almost arriving in the capital. Should we go back to another courtyard or to Mr. Chen's tavern?"
The coachman's voice sounded outside the carriage.
Lin Xiao came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and said calmly:
"I haven't been to Jin Sanniang's grain and oil store for a long time."
"yes!"
The coachman responded and drove the carriage slowly.
The carriage fell into silence again.
After a long time, Chen Yun spoke first:
"Brother Lin, why don't you bring Aunt Liu back to identify them?"
"Let's not talk about whether those young masters are Liu Big Head's children. Just talk about Aunt Liu's madness. Do you think the emperor will believe it?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun pondered for a moment and shook his head.
Lin Xiao saw this and continued:
"What we have to do now is to find ways to collect as strong evidence as possible. Only in this way can the Chen family avoid bringing trouble upon themselves!"
Chen Yun nodded and agreed.
Immediately, the car became quiet again.
After a while, the carriage stopped outside the grain and oil store. Lin Xiao opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage first, followed closely by Chen Yun.
When Jin Sanniang saw Lin Xiao, she immediately ran over waving her fan:
"Oh, isn't this my God of Wealth, Brother Lin? Why are you interested in coming to my place today?"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly:
"Sister Jin, you made fun of me again."
Seeing this, Jin Sanniang waved her hands repeatedly, then turned to the waiter behind her and ordered:
"Go, take out my newly developed sweet-scented osmanthus brew and give it to my little brother to try!"
"Yes, Shopkeeper Jin!"
The man was ordered to leave.
Lin Xiao looked at Jin Sanniang in front of her and smiled:
"Sister Jin, to be honest, I came to see you on business today. I don't have time to drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine, so why not change it someday?"
Seeing that Lin Xiao was unwilling to drink the sweet-scented osmanthus wine she brewed, Jin Sanniang felt a little regretful, but she did not force her. She nodded, changed the subject and asked:
"What's up?"
"I want to ask you some gossip."
Lin Xiao lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"Do you know the Chen family in Beijing?"
Upon hearing the words "Chen family", Jin Sanniang's expression immediately changed.
She looked at Lin Xiao with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
After a long while, Jin Sanniang calmed down and smiled faintly:
"Brother Lin, why do you suddenly ask about the Chen family? Could it be that you have heard about some scandals about the Chen family? Or has the Chen family done something to you?"
Lin Xiao coughed lightly, shook his head, and denied:
"Not really. Just yesterday, while drinking at Chen's Tavern, I happened to hear two people talking about the little secrets of the Chen family. Now I'm here to ask you, who makes my sister Jin the most well-informed in the capital?
!”
After saying that, Lin Xiao winked at Jin Sanniang mischievously, with a pleasing expression on her face.
Jin Sanniang was amused by Lin Xiao, covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, then reached out and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder:
"What secret?"
Lin Xiao looked around cautiously, then pushed Chen Yun who was standing aside:
"Brother Chen, tell me."
"Is such that……"
Chen Yun told Jin Sanniang everything about the young masters of the Chen family.
After Jin Sanniang listened to Chen Yun's narration, her expression changed drastically, and she quickly asked her assistant to take care of the store while she took Lin Xiao and Chen Yun to the inner hall.
Behind most shops in the Daxia Dynasty was the owner's home or courtyard.
Jin Sanniang brought Lin Xiao and Chen Yun to her home.
After entering the house, Lin Xiao carefully looked at the environment inside the house and saw that the decoration style of the house was very simple and elegant, and it looked very period.
After pouring tea for each of Lin Xiao and Chen Yun, she sat down and said solemnly:
"You two are so courageous! Even if this secret is true, so what?! How dare you directly oppose the Chen family? This is not an egg against a rock! You don't want your life?!"
Jin Sanniang's tone was quite serious, and she was obviously angry.
"Sister Jin, don't be angry! I'm just curious!"
Lin Xiao said with an apologetic smile.
"I'm worried about you!"
Jin Sanniang glared at Lin Xiao, then looked at Chen Yun:
"Brother Chen, why are you so confused? I, Brother Lin, are not from the capital and are not familiar with those big families. But you have lived in the capital since you were a child, so you should know the power of those families better than Brother Lin!"
Being scolded for no reason, Chen Yun was not angry at all, but just scratched his head in embarrassment:
"What Sister Jin taught me is that it's all my fault for being ignorant and causing Sister Jin to worry."
"That's all!"
Jin Sanniang waved her hands, sighed again, and said helplessly:
"Since you all want to know the truth or falsehood of this matter, I will tell you everything I know. After listening, I will let it go like a fart and you are not allowed to mention it again!"
