"Are you sure you can really go out?" Lin Yutong asked Lin Yuzhi solemnly.
Lin Yuzhi looked around. This is the Baoxia in the corner of the garden. Behind the Baoxia, there is a dog hole. Going out is the back street of the mansion. Most of the servants in the mansion live there. Some servants in the mansion,
I don’t want to take a leave of absence. I can get out of this dog hole and have some free time to go home and wander around. Especially for low-level servants, who are old and young and need to take care of their families, this way is more convenient. Of course, it is also
People of short stature can go in and out at will, but not tall and fat people. She had used this dog hole in her previous life, and often sent Chunmei in and out to buy some things. So, she knew this place and could definitely escape.
So he nodded: "Don't worry."
Lin Yutong then stood up and said, "Take care of yourself, I'm leaving."
Lin Yuzhi immediately closed his eyes and began to pretend to be unconscious.
Lin Yutong came out and saw that Aunt Bai hadn't left yet, so she frowned and said, "Did someone beat my eldest sister?"
Aunt Bai thought to herself: If she had gone a little later, someone would have died. When Lin Yutong asked, she felt helpless: "I accidentally knocked him. Who would be violent? Uncle Hu is not such a person." She listened.
Turning to what Mrs. Chu said to Lin Yutong, she blamed Uncle Hu for Lin Yuzhi's affair. Then she could only point to this.
Lin Yutong shook his head: "If we really do it...this Uncle Hu is not a good match. I think my father will keep my eldest sister at home. Such a person cannot marry. Even...forget it! Treat it as a dog bite." Her
His tone was irritable, and he glanced at Sanxi and Man Yue, "Which of you will stay to take care of the eldest girl for a long time?"
Aunt Bai said: "The fourth young lady came out without many people. The old slave has arranged it here, so nothing can go wrong."
I knew you would say that.
Lin Yutong glanced into the room: "Remember to ask the doctor to take a look and take medicine in time. The money will be paid from me. I will send someone to call my father and mother soon..."
After saying that, she lifted her legs and walked out. Aunt Bai followed behind her and whispered: "Madam has sent someone, they should be here soon."
Lin Yutong deliberately said loudly: "Madam has already gone to invite someone? It's so fast, I feel more relieved. Although grandma has arranged it well, but how can it be as comfortable as at home? Plus such a bad thing happened...
..." She shook her head, as if she didn't know where to start.
Lin Yuzhi inside knew that she was telling herself that she had to leave as soon as possible. If she didn't leave, it would be too late.
Listening to the distant footsteps, Lin Yuzhi opened her eyes. She had to leave quickly.
Lin Yutong arrived at the door of Dongqingyuan and invited Aunt Bai to sit inside: "Go in first and warm yourself up."
Aunt Bai declined: "We are still busy at the front. Madam may be looking for the old slave at some time."
"Yes!" Lin Yutong then smiled and watched Aunt Bai leave.
Sanxi whispered: "Master, why do I feel that Aunt Bai is staring at us? She has to watch us come back to feel at ease."
Lin Yutong smiled: "Your feeling is right." As she said that, she glanced at the woman who was clearing the snow on the road. "In the future, we should keep an eye on us when we go in and out. There will probably be people staring at us in the past two days."
Sanxi responded before helping Lin Yutong into the yard.
Xiangli had already brought breakfast back from the big kitchen, and it was already half-warm in the yard. Lin Yutong took a look and asked Sanxi to get some money for Xiangli: "Go to the kitchen and ask for some rice, noodles and vegetables. Let's make them ourselves. The tea stove is too small.
, let’s make a few tea stoves, that’s great.”
When the fourth master came back, Lin Yutong came in with a casserole of wontons: "Wash your hands and eat."
Not to mention, without the spring water in space, I feel uncomfortable eating any water.
"Tell Guiwu to go out and get a big stove later. A small tea stove is too laborious." The fourth master took off his cloak, went to clean his hands, and sat on the big kang. It's true that a young man's body is the easiest to get hungry. Not to mention that he was hungry for a long time yesterday.
, until now, it’s almost noon. I opened the lid of the casserole and started to drink the soup with a spoon.
"I don't like the soup on the stove being greasy, it's useless." Lin Yutong also took a sip, "I only put some mushrooms and bacon in it, but the flavor hasn't been stewed yet. Let's make do with it for now."
The Fourth Master shook his head: "It tastes like this, so you've tasted it." As long as the water is right, whatever you put in it will be delicious.
Lin Yutong smiled and sent a few girls to the corner room for dinner: "I'll also send Guixi and Guiwu's over there."
After going out, Man Yue asked Sanxi in a low voice: "How come our uncle and the girl are like acquaintances? I'm not surprised at all."
Sanxi glared: "Don't talk nonsense. It's probably fate. It was already destined."
Man Yue then silenced her, but thinking about the twists and turns of this marriage, the girl and her uncle finally got married, so she felt that this was not a mistake.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Lin Yutong whispered to the fourth master about Lin Yuzhi: "...I am not sure now whether the Duke of Guo is the main one or the Chu family. But I think of the Duke of Guo.
It’s a clan, so there’s little chance of handing over the country to someone else. In addition, the Chu family will marry their daughter into the family, which means..."
The fourth master swallowed the wontons in his mouth and chuckled: "This matter... I really haven't noticed it recently. If this is the case, I'm afraid my father may not know about last night."
Lin Yutong suddenly realized, yes. If he really wanted to rebel, he would always have it in his heart. Every move in this house could not escape his eyes. But why did he look at it like this? He would rather be watched by others.
Where to hold the handle? "Paralyze the opponent!" These four words flashed through her mind. What kind of situation can a person who can't even manage the government well and can't even subdue his brothers become? Such a person has to be rebellious.
The heart has no ability to rebel.
But from Lin Yutong's current perspective, if he really knows everything, but just watches, even his son is involved, this is not the resilience that ordinary people can have. He can't let go of his children and can't trap the wolf!
He even gave up his son, what else can't he do?
The fourth master picked up the casserole and drank all the remaining soup, "But it's hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse for us. The second room was suppressed and could not move at all. This was Mrs. Chu's handiwork! It was also my father's fault.
The Chu family's compromise. When it comes to me, it's a waste of life. You said that he, the father, really doesn't know anything about it. It is also a compromise to the Chu family. If you rely too much on the Chu family, even if it succeeds.
What will happen to us?"
Lin Yutong understood what Fourth Master meant: "...don't support Jin Chengan?"
Fourth Master's eyes narrowed: "Let's prepare with two hands. One hand supports Jin Chengan, but we have to find a way to alienate him from the Chu family. The other hand is Prince Heng..."
"Prince Heng?" Lin Yutong shook his head, "This person is not a good candidate."
The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong with a serious look on his face: "He is not a good candidate, but there is a good candidate beside him."
"Who?" Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master in astonishment. Prince Heng didn't even have any heirs. "How can there be a suitable person around him?"
Fourth Master pursed his lips and said thoughtfully: "Concubine Gan. What do you think of Concubine Gan?"
She? Helps a woman to rise to power?
Lin Yutong opened his eyes wide: "This idea is so crazy!"
"In the Duke's Mansion, compared with Jin Shouren, I have little chance of winning." Fourth Master lowered his voice, "If Concubine Gan... you are her only choice."
Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat.
The Fourth Master leaned back on the soft pillow and said, "My father must also know about your relationship with Concubine Gan. In the future, I'm afraid this will not be a secret. If my father really succeeds in the future, Concubine Gan's daughter will not be a good one."
Identity. We, who originally had no advantage, are even more in danger. On the contrary..."
Needless to say, Lin Yutong also understood.
Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong's hand: "I originally thought that I could live a peaceful life for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that I really couldn't escape this fate... What I'm worried about now is what kind of person this Concubine Gan is, and I don't know if she can.
Help her up. If she really can't help her up... we have to find another way."
"Then we have to find a way to meet..." Lin Yutong gritted his teeth and said, "But this opportunity to meet..." It's really hard to find.
The fourth master shook his head: "Since Prince Heng wants to win over his father, then... the card of your mother-daughter relationship with Concubine Gan will be played soon. Just wait!"
At this moment, in the study room of the outer courtyard, Jin Chengan and Jin Shouren were sitting and standing.
"Breaking the crossbow army?" Jin Chengan felt a jump in his heart and looked at his eldest son, "Who said that?"
Jin Shouren looked at his father and saw that there was not much movement on his face. He was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that he was thinking too much? He tentatively said: "...the eldest girl from Weiyuan Uncle's Mansion showed up last night for some unknown reason.
On my son's bed... I shouted this in a daze today. My son is a little unsure..."
Jin Chengan's heart skipped a beat, but he said, "Be careful. I've never heard of the father you mentioned, so don't mention it again..."
Jin Shouren was silent and stopped talking. Don't mention it again. It has already been explained and it is not irrelevant at all. It's just that his father refused to talk anymore.
Jin Chengan didn't explain, and some things couldn't be revealed until the right time. Moreover, his son... was too young and not stable enough. Seeing that he didn't speak, he said: "Since I have ruined my reputation, I will stay with you."
, be a second roommate. Seriously hire someone to come in..."
No matter how the eldest girl of the Lin family knew, she stayed in the house and slowly verified it.
Jin Shouren understood that he wanted to keep the man by his side. As a woman, as long as her heart is towards a man, she will find something to say sooner or later. So he stood up immediately: "Then I have to tell my mother, I'm afraid of her
…”
Jin Cheng'an waved his hand. He knew the Chu family's style and would never show mercy when it was time to kill him. "Go! Keep an eye on the person."
Jin Shouren came out of the room with his hands in hand and came face to face with Liu Wu.
"Your Majesty." Liu Wugong cupped his hands and walked inside.
Jin Shouren nodded and was about to leave when he heard Liu Wu reporting inside: "Madam, please ask the Duke to come over. Uncle Weiyuan and his wife are here."
"So fast!" Jin Cheng'an stood up, "Let's go, we need to talk about this matter carefully. No matter what, other girls always have trouble in our house." The eldest girl of the Lin family knows this, but she doesn't know this.
Uncle Wei Yuan, does he know?
Liu Wuxin said: How can this be so fast? It's obviously a big heart. The girl was missing for a whole day and a whole night without realizing it, and she had to be invited by others to know that something had happened. This Lin family is really looked down upon.
The master and servant went out, and Jin Shouren bowed and stepped aside: "Son, let's go with our father."
Jin Chengan said 'hmm' and warned: "If others blame you, you should also restrain your temper..."
When Fourth Master and Lin Yutong were invited over, they heard arguments before they entered the hall.
Lin Changgen's voice was full of sarcasm: "...It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I can't believe it. My dear wife said that it was your cousin who ruined the honor of the eldest girl. You and the prince came in and said that it was the prince and him.
...How can I believe you who insist on your own opinions? Who do you think my Lin family's daughter is? ...Don't say anything else. My family is unfortunate, and my own daughter can be raised by herself, so I don't need you to worry about her.
Give it to me and I'll take it home. I don't need to worry about the rest."
Fourth Master and Lin Yutong looked at each other. Mrs. Chu had made a mistake this time.
The two of them lifted the curtain and went in, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Lin Changgen looked at Lin Yutong who came in, and his anger dissipated a little, "Why are you here in such a cold weather? Just rest in the room. Adults have to worry about everything, so you don't need to get involved.
These things have nothing to do with you."
Lin Yutong stepped forward to salute. Yunshi pulled her to stand and whispered: "What's going on?"
I asked myself what to say now. I could only whisper to Yun: "Take the eldest sister home first to recuperate. I took a look today and found that there was a wound on the head, which was hit by a heavy object. She was also injured.
I'm in a coma, and I don't know if I'm awake now. I hurt my head again, and I'm afraid that my brain will..."
"Smashed?" Lin Changgen looked at Jin Guoan and said breathlessly: "It seems that Mr. Guo has hidden a lot of things from me. Until now, he has not told the truth. Our two families are in-laws.
I still need to save face. I won’t say anything about pursuing it. Who told me that my second girl is already married? So, just pretend that this never happened, and I will take my daughter back..."
Jin Chengan glanced at Mrs. Chu, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes. How could the eldest girl of the Lin family let go if she knew such an important matter? He saw that Mrs. Chu was pretending to be a Bodhisattva with her eyes closed, without saying a word.
He had no choice but to turn around and say apologetically: "My dear, please don't misunderstand..."
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Bai hurried in. Everyone in the room looked over at once.
Lin Changgen and Yunshi were even more focused on this. This nanny was the one Mrs. Chu sent out to take care of Lin Yuzhi just now.
Aunt Bai looked a little ugly and went directly to Mrs. Chu to talk to Mrs. Chu privately. Lin Changgen glanced at Jin Chengan and said, "How about we avoid it?"
Jin Cheng'an was not upset at being squeezed out. He just glared and said to Aunt Bai: "If you have anything to say, say it in front of everyone, and tell others everything you want. You are so sneaky, what do you look like?"
Aunt Bai glanced at Mrs. Chu and saw that Mrs. Chu closed her eyes and said nothing, so she could only say: "Miss Lin is missing!"
Missing?
Mrs. Chu suddenly opened her eyes, but Jin Shouren stood up suddenly and asked hurriedly: "Why is he missing?"
What could Aunt Bai say? Could it be that it was Mrs. Chu's idea to lock people up in the small courtyard at the corner of the garden? She rolled her eyes, glanced at Lin Yutong, and whispered: "The fourth young lady has met the eldest girl of the Lin family before...
…”
Mrs. Chu's eyes were closed again. Anyway, her family has no responsibility. The eldest daughter of the Lin family was brought here, and it was the Lin family's niece who did it. Now she has disappeared again, and the last person to see her was the Lin family's direct descendant.
Female. The Lin family wants someone? Then go back and take care of the housework first.
She was safe, but Jin Cheng'an and Jin Shouren's father and son felt a little bit in their hearts.
Whether the girl from the Lin family left on her own or was taken away by someone? The hidden dangers left behind are fatal. This is not the time to shirk responsibility at all, but to find ways to find the person.
As a result, everyone couldn't help but look at Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong raised his eyes to look at Aunt Bai, frowned and asked: "I have seen my eldest sister, but she is not the last one. There are four girls guarding the yard from the door to the corridor. Now she is gone, Aunt Bai
But my grandma hinted that I was the one causing the trouble. I want to ask, what happened if I met my eldest sister? My wife allowed me to see her. And Aunt Bai, you followed me every step of the way. You even sent me back all the way.
Holly Garden. Besides, my eldest sister is in a coma. If you see a doctor, you know how long it will take for her to wake up. I stayed in there with a comatose person for half a cup of tea, which was just enough for me to check on her.
On my body..." She said, her tone paused. Even if she didn't say anything, everyone knew that as a sister, you need to know immediately whether your sister is really pregnant. They all nodded in understanding. This is all
It is logical. If such a ridiculous thing happens, it is naturally impossible to listen to other people's opinions. It is most reasonable to check it yourself.
Lin Yutong then continued: "Afterwards, grandma sent me back to Dongqingyuan. It is easy to find out whether I have gone out and whether the people around me have been near the back garden. On the first day I got married, I
They will all get lost. Please tell me, how do I hide or send an unconscious person out?" As he said that, he chuckled, "The rules in this mansion are really strange. A servant who has neglected his duty and dared to
Putting the responsibility on the master. It really taught me a lot." She finally understood that Mrs. Chu would not tolerate any disobedience to her. With her temper, she was not meant to be a lowly person.
Yes, conflict is inevitable. In addition, because of Lin Yuzhi's incident today, there will definitely be a gap between the Lin family and this mansion. If she doesn't show her fangs, I'm afraid it will be really difficult again. Therefore, she will not show mercy at all.
He directly came face to face with Mrs. Chu’s confidant, Aunt Bai. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner when beating a dog. For such an obvious offense, Mrs. Chu could only find it difficult to bear this tone.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Chu's eyes sharpened like knives. She didn't care at all about the presence of Lin Changgen and Yunshi.
Before Lin Yutong could speak, the Fourth Master coughed and stood up, cupped his hands to Jin Chengan and said, "Father, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are all here today, and my son has something to ask you." He looked back at Lin Yutong, "Let's separate our son. This
In the house... there is really no place for my son to stand up."
Lin Yutong immediately understood what Fourth Master meant. This was a good opportunity to attack!
The bastard daughter-in-law had just entered the house, and the mother-in-law's mother-in-law dared to throw dirty water in front of everyone. She looked so confident, how could she regard him as the master? What's more, this was in front of the daughter-in-law's family.
Mrs. Chu is domineering, and she is domineering to this extent. No matter whether this thing can be done or not, it is a thorn in Jin Chengan's heart.
