As soon as Chu Nanzhi's carriage entered the old house, she heard a burst of crazy yelling and cursing from inside: "I am the first-grade imperial concubine of the imperial court, and my son is the king. If any of you dare to disrespect me, I will let you go."
I will kill you all."
Sang Qi stopped the horse and helped Chu Nanzhi out of the carriage, and the group walked towards the courtyard in silence.
When they arrived at the door of the living room, they saw Lin Jinyun, Qin Xianglian's sister-in-law and two maids forcing Mrs. Chen to prepare for dinner.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, the aunt and sister-in-law led the maids to come forward in a hurry and bowed respectfully.
Chu Nanzhi slowly glanced at Ms. Chen, who had messy silver hair, looked at Lin Jinyun, narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is your mother feeling better?"
Lin Jinyun shook her head sadly: "If I go back to my sister-in-law, she has been like this all day long, and the doctor is helpless."
Chu Nanzhi nodded thoughtfully, took a bowl of soup from the table and slowly approached Mrs. Chen, wanting to test whether she was really crazy or pretending to be crazy.
But as soon as she got closer, Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she shrank into the corner and shook her head tremblingly: "You can't even think about harming Madam Gaoming. My son is the king of the imperial court, and he will not let you go."
After saying that, he pushed the soup in Chu Nanzhi's hand to the ground.
"Mother."
Qin Xianglian glared at Mrs. Chen angrily.
Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she quickly hugged Chu Nanzhi's thigh and cried sadly: "Aunt, I won't marry, I won't marry, he killed my son, I don't want to remarry him."
"Whose son did he kill?"
Chu Nanzhi stopped the two sisters who came forward, bent down and held Chen's left wrist tightly, looking straight at her with sharp eyes.
Mrs. Chen's body was shaking more and more violently, and she was so frightened that she seemed speechless.
After a long stalemate, Chen coughed violently and coughed up blood.
Chu Nanzhi gradually let go of her wrist and saw that her pulse was messy, but it didn't look like she was pretending to be crazy.
Standing up and instructing the maids to look after Chen, Chu Nanzhi stared at Lin Jinyun with a dull expression and said in a deep voice:
"Your second sister-in-law is pregnant and needs to rest. From now on, your mother will be placed in the east wing of the inner courtyard for someone to take good care of her. Don't let her come to the outer courtyard and disturb your second sister-in-law."
As he said that, he looked at Qin Xianglian intently: "Ms. Qin is now carrying the only bloodline of your second brother. We must not make any mistakes again."
The two sisters only thought that she was sincerely concerned, and they nodded gratefully and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely follow your instructions."
"Well, I will have Chief Hai come to the old house to check on me from time to time. If you need anything, please tell him."
Hai Da'a sensed from Chu Nanzhi's eyes that this Chen family must know some secrets. He was afraid that this crazy woman would cause some trouble, so he quickly added: "The princess is about to enter the capital, and I have been ordered to take care of all the sects of your highness."
As relatives, you two ladies do not need to be polite in front of this old slave, you can give me your orders in everything."
"Thank you, sister-in-law, and thank you, Mr. Hai."
The aunt and sister-in-law bowed their bodies in emotion.
Thinking of today's banquet at the palace, Qin Xianglian reminded angrily: "Sister-in-law, that Princess Qian was really domineering today. While you were away, she turned her back on guests and didn't take you seriously at all."
"You don't have to worry about Princess Qian's affairs, just live your own life."
Chu Nanzhi interrupted Qin Xianglian's words and gave serious instructions. She watched Mrs. Chen being brought into the inner courtyard by the attendants, then looked at Lin Jinyun and said in a lukewarm tone: "Sanniang is not young anymore. I
During your absence from the state capital, if you find a suitable husband, go to Mrs. Ji, and she and your brother will make the decisions for you and arrange your marriage."
Lin Jinyun nodded and said: "My second brother has just passed away, and now I just want to find a husband who is willing to marry into the family to continue this lineage."
"That's fine."
Chu Nanzhi smiled. She originally wanted to send the two sisters out of the old house, but she had to go against her will to avoid arousing suspicion.
Anyway, Lin Jinxiao's life experience will not be kept secret from the world forever. Once the situation stabilizes, even if Chen is pretending to be crazy, it will not affect anything if she really knows something.
As her eyes rolled around, she looked at Qin Xianglian again, and the woman replied with understanding: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. Erlang and I will give birth to the fetus in the belly and raise the child properly."
big."
After he finished speaking, he immediately added: "I will definitely teach the child in my belly well, so that he can be an upright and talented man like his elder brother."
"That's fine."
Chu Nanzhi replied in the same tone.
After all, loyalty and integrity are common values for all women these days. If Qin Xianglian really only wants to protect Lin Jinhong's only bloodline, Lin Jinxiao will be able to find some comfort after learning about her life experience in the future.
Qin Xianglian inadvertently looked at Chu Nanzhi's lower abdomen and said timidly and with concern: "Sister-in-law, it's a long way to go to Beijing. My sister-in-law is also pregnant. You must take good care of yourself."
"Yes, I took note of it."
Chu Nanzhi responded lightly and looked around the yard again, finally saying goodbye to the old house where she had lived for several months.
As he was leaving, he suddenly heard a trembling voice from behind.
She turned around and saw Lin Jinyun's eyes sparkling with tears as she choked and warned: "Sister-in-law, you must come back safely with Ruiwen and the others."
Before Chu Nanzhi could reply, the sister-in-law was already bursting into tears, turned around and ran into the inner courtyard with tears in her eyes.
Although she didn't know why her brother and sister-in-law cared so much about the whole family, her stiff heart had already been melted by her several kindnesses in return.
How much she hated this woman in the past, now she wanted to get close to this extraordinary woman.
It's just that she has always been unable to overcome the gap in her heart. She can only hope that her brother-in-law, nephews and nieces will be safe and well.
Chu Nanzhi was originally indifferent, but Lin Jinyun's trembling words made her startled inwardly.
All the grudges and grudges from the past seemed to have vanished into thin air at this moment.
She sat back in the carriage with a solemn heart. The hazy moonlight reflected on the mottled carriage curtains, reflecting the dancing shadows of the trees.
Thinking about entering Beijing the next day, Chu Nanzhi felt even more confused at this time.
Things and people in Beijing made her both excited and worried.
Caught off guard, she suddenly remembered an incident about the assassination of King Qinghe that Xie Jingchen had mentioned in Broken Dragon Mountain. Combined with the incident of the Empress Dowager secretly inviting her to Beijing and Lin Jinxiao's repeated assassinations, she reacted suddenly.
come over:
Isn't he going to Beijing this time to investigate the old case thoroughly for the old man?
At present, the forces that were plotting against Lin Jinxiao have chosen Situ Yang Runchen as the most suspicious person. However, the Empress Dowager dares not touch this person. She wonders how much this person is involved in the past?
