The dust-cleansing banquet held for Lin Xiner that the Duke's wife mentioned before was no longer mentioned, as if it had never been mentioned before. Lin Xiner was too lazy to take care of it and was more serious about the meal. The Duke's wife did not look for her.
, she still felt relaxed and at ease.
These days, I saw Lin Xin'er and the Fourth Madam getting closer and coming and going. The Third Madam didn't say anything, but the Duke's Madam couldn't sit still every day, racking her brains to think of ways to get rid of Lin Xiner.
Since the incident of Qingyan Temple, Lin Xiner has avoided the Duke's wife without leaving any trace, and of course the contribution of those maids who turned against her was not missing.
After going to Qingyan Temple, she followed Mo Zengzhi in quite a circle. Lin Xin'er also had a rough idea of the terrain near the capital. And with Mo Zengzhi's previous guidance, Lin Xin'er always walked in the dead of night.
Sneak into the Royal Villa to meet Leng Yanqiu while avoiding the public eye.
Mo Zengzhi could think of the private meeting between Lin Xiner and Leng Yanqiu, but he would never tell the truth. He and Mo Zengye were in hostile positions, and by the way, he was in a hostile position with Mo Zengye's father, Mo Yanqing.
There are also two fronts. They want to control Leng Yanqiu. On the contrary, Mo Zengzhi turned a blind eye to Leng Yanqiu and showed his "sincerity" in front of Lin Xiner.
Moreover, Mo Zengzhi has been very busy recently, busy dealing with Mo Zengye's troubles. The eldest prince is bound to give him, the King of Fujian, a show of strength. He wonders how the native King of Fujian can be defeated by someone who has no foundation in Qiming Kingdom.
Are outsiders defeated?
Of course, it is wrong to say that Mo Zengye has no foundation. His father planned to hand over the Qi Ming Kingdom to him, so with Mo Yanqing's support, Mo Zengye can be considered powerful.
Everyone else, on the other hand, watched the fight between Mo Zengye and Mo Zengzhi like a good show. Mo Zengzhi, as the most promising descendant of the Mo family, should not be underestimated. Mo Zengye had been dormant overseas for many years and had many talents.
The emperor relied on Zhong, but he couldn't figure it out at once, so when things were not yet clear, everyone chose to wait and see.
"Mo Zengzhi's biggest enemy is Mo Yanqing." Leng Yanqiu said.
In the room, the doors and windows were closed, and there were no candles lit in the darkness. Lin Xiner and Leng Yanqiu were sitting in the corner, teaching and talking.
During the day, Lin Xiner would occasionally come to Bieyuan for the purpose of diagnosing her pulse, and then listen to Leng Yanqiu talk about some insignificant things in front of those eyes, hiding her from others. The more important courses were all learned at night.
Over at the Duke's Mansion, with the four maids there, no one knew that Lin Xiner had left at night. At Bieyuan, no one knew that Lin Xiner would sneak in through a secret passage. What's more, these people didn't even know that Bieyuan was still there.
There is something about a secret passage.
"Obviously, Mo Yanqing wanted to take advantage of the hostility between Mo Zengye and Mo Zengzhi to get rid of Mo Zengzhi for Mo Zengye." Lin Xiner nodded in agreement after listening to Leng Yanqiu's words.
If Mo Yanqing directly competes with Mo Zengzhi, people will say that the emperor cannot tolerate prestigious juniors, but if he borrows Mo Zengye, it can be seen as a fight between two juniors of the Mo family, and it will also appear that Mo Zeng
Zhi deceived his students, and his own skills were too high to tolerate the eldest prince. He accidentally "did" Mo Zengzhi through Mo Zengye's "counterattack". It can only be said that the eldest prince was not inferior in ability. Mo Zengzhi had no king in his eyes and deserved his punishment.
Although in fact, it was Mo Zengye who attacked Mo Zengzhi first.
The two didn't talk too much about the fight and got back to business and continued studying.
Lin Xiner has a good mind and memory, and is quick to accept new things. Coupled with Leng Yanqiu's good teaching, she has almost mastered the Leng family's poisonous techniques in a month. What she lacks is practice, and she also dabbles in medical science.
In addition, I also learned something from Chu Yitian when I was in Shuiyue Palace, and made a lot of progress.
Lin Xiner's body is getting heavier and heavier, and she is already six months pregnant.
"Miss, the fourth lady came last night and brought this box of things, saying that she would replenish her body."
As soon as Lin Xiner returned to her residence, Chunlan knocked on the door and came in. After so many days, they had become familiar with Lin Xiner's time, and Lin Xiner did not hide it from them and told them to guard her house so that no one would find it.
She's not here.
The Duke's wife originally sent a few clever maids to keep an eye on Lin Xiner, but she didn't expect these maids to be used by Lin Xiner very well.
"The slave said a few words, and the fourth lady put down her things and left." Chunlan put the box in front of Lin Xiner.
Lin Xiner opened it and saw that it was not a supplement at all, but a box of jewelry and banknotes. It should be regarded as dividends these days. It seems that the business of Yu'anfang is getting better.
Seeing so many good things, Chunlan's eyes widened. If she had known about it, she would have secretly opened it and taken out a bunch, but she didn't dare at all. She shuddered secretly when she thought about the bunch of people who died in Qingyan Temple.
"Take it and share it with Tiedan'er. Remember, don't be discovered, otherwise you won't get any benefits in the future." Lin Xiner casually pushed a box of things to Chunlan.
Tiedan'er was the coachman that day. Although he was not on duty in her yard, he could still be considered a member of Chunlan's group, guarding a common secret.
"Miss... do you really want to... reward... a slave?" Chunlan stammered and her words were not smooth, and... there will be more in the future?
"Take it quickly, I'm going to sleep." Lin Xiner said impatiently.
"Yes... Miss Xie!" Chunlan hurriedly kowtowed to Lin Xiner and walked out of the room in a daze, thinking she was dreaming.
Not to mention whether there will be more in the future, just this box in hand, divided among five people, is worth a lot to each of them, which they can't even dream of.
"Is the stuff satisfactory?"
In the morning, the fourth lady came to the door and asked with a smile.
"You know I might not be here at night." Lin Xiner leaned lazily on the bed, not getting up yet.
Lin Xin'er didn't deliberately guard against the fourth lady when she left the Duke's Mansion at night. With Cuicui's open mouth, the fourth lady knew to some extent that she left late and returned early. Moreover, if Chunlan and the others met
If she can no longer stand up to anyone, she needs the fourth lady to step forward and help her out.
"Tell me, how did you suppress those cheap maids?" the fourth lady asked curiously. This was also a question she had been holding back for many days.
If the Second Madam's people can be made to switch sides and do things, is the Second Madam still far away from her downfall? She also wants to learn this trick.
But can she learn it?
"The benefits given to them are more than what they received from their original master, so why not bribe them?" Lin Xiner smiled and said, "For example, if you reward them with a box of jewelry, will they still hang around you?"
"Is the person who spends money to buy someone reliable?" The fourth lady is not stupid. She can buy it with money, and one day others can buy it with money.
"Can you tell if it's reliable or not? As long as the capital is heavy enough, there's nothing wrong with it." Lin Xiner said.
This amount of money made the Fourth Madam unable to figure out the true meaning of what Lin Xiner was referring to even if she thought about it.
"Miss, I want you to go to the front hall." Dongmei suddenly came to report.
"Why did the master think of you at this time?" The fourth lady was also surprised.
