Lin Yutong feels that things have gone by the fastest this year.
After a trip to the capital, the breath of spring is already strong when she comes back. She spends most of her time with her children every day, and her four children take up most of her energy. As soon as summer comes, the Queen Mother falls ill. She is busy waiting for the disease again. The old man is old
It was left there, even though Lin Yutong was helping to regulate it himself, he still felt that his energy was gradually getting short of energy.
The old man on the hospital bed didn't have any wishes, so he just pulled his sixth brother, Hong Sheng, to Lin Yutong and handed her a child's hand.
In fact, Hong Sheng had already gone to school in the study room, but he was just thinking that the Queen Mother was used to it. She was afraid that she would be lonely once the child left, so she never asked to move. Now that the Queen Mother is like this, the one she can't let go of is the sixth elder brother, and Lin Yutong.
You have to take over.
In Lin Yutong's view, this is what the old Queen Mother understands better than others.
Deep love means long-term planning.
If it's really for Hong Sheng's good, you should think more about this child in the future. After all, he is the son of Concubine Nian, and all his uncle's family have been punished. There is a big age difference between him and the brothers above, and the younger brothers and sisters below are all
They are direct children, so they can’t get close to each other from above, and they can’t get kissed from below. This situation is very embarrassing. A single tree cannot make a forest, and a good man needs three helpers. If he can lead him there, often everywhere, the relationship will naturally be there. That’s it.
It’s just like the Empress Dowager raising Thirteen and Fifteen. Although it only looks like this, it’s different now. Thirteen Fujin and Fifteen Fujin are quite justified in seeing the Empress Dowager. Every time they ask to see her, the Empress Dowager meets them.
.
What is this? This is love.
Lin Yutong could see clearly what the Queen Mother was thinking. It was because of this that she felt that the Queen Mother was a sensible person. Not everyone understands the principle of letting go.
Hong Sheng and Lin Yutong were not strangers. They would come over to say hello when it was time to say hello. But when it came to familiarity and affection, there was really no such thing. In fact, among these bastards, Hong Sheng was the only one who had never grown up with the Ulanara family.
Not to mention that when Hongshi was a child and there was no elder brother in the house, he raised a single seedling in the main courtyard. Even Hongli and Hong Zhou, every time they came back from school, they would first go to their eldest mother-in-law to do their homework, and then go back to their respective aunts.
After all, the concubine is not qualified to educate the elder brother. Only Fujin has such qualifications. It is not a question of whether Ulanara is willing or not, but the fourth master's rules are like this.
Only Hong Sheng was special. It was for his own good that Fourth Master and Lin Yutong handed him over to the Queen Mother, and now the Queen Mother sent him back after having a legitimate prince, and it was also for his own good.
The Queen Mother took her little hand and put it solemnly in Lin Yutong's hand. Lin Yutong slowly tightened his hand, carefully held the trembling little hand, and solemnly nodded to the Queen Mother, "Don't worry, I'll call Xiao Liu to come over to you in two days."
Please say hello. Xiaoqi and the others are making too much noise. Xiaoliu is just coming over and can help me keep an eye on them."
That means I have to live with Xiaoliu.
The Queen Mother nodded, "Go ahead, the children will be safe, and your blessing will be behind you."
Lin Yutong smiled and did not refute. This was actually a woman's helpless thought. She thought that when her children grow up, they become successful, and they are filial, then blessings have come. A lifetime of grievances will be considered worth it, and this life will be complete.
But Lin Yutong said that a woman's happiness lies not in others but in herself.
After Lin Yutong left with Hong Sheng, Aunt Ping helped the Queen Mother lie down, and then said: "If you are reluctant, please stay for two more years. The Queen Mother is not such an intolerant person."
The Queen Mother did not say anything. She must be reluctant to let go. Even if you raise a kitten or puppy, they will have feelings for a long time, let alone a human being. She sighed and did not mention this, and only said: "The Queen has a big heart.
Broad-minded and upright, she is a lucky person..."
Lin Yutong didn't know whether she was broad-minded or not, but she definitely couldn't do something like Ba Fujin.
Putting aside the issue of whether the child is innocent or not, you can not see it if you don’t want to see it, you can not see it if you don’t want to see it, so why bother torturing each other? Isn’t the process of her torturing the child self-torture of the soul? Knowing that she will be in pain and uncomfortable, then
Why bother competing with yourself?
People are like this, they are not big-minded, and they just can't get over things when they are in their heart. This does not mean that they don't let others go, but they don't let themselves go.
What about now? She may have gone through menopause. Anyway, she was coaxed every day and treated with caution as if she were a patient, so she felt happy and overjoyed?
I’m not sure why I’m thinking so wildly every day. Otherwise, after such a long time, I would have figured out everything I should have figured out. I don’t want to see Hongwang, and Hongwang has moved out. I don’t want to see Xuanbao, and Xuanbao is already married. In the house
Only the two of them are left to live together. So, he should be satisfied, right? If he were really satisfied, he wouldn't have awkward fights from time to time, and make the old man think about something anxiously.
In fact, it was not the two children that were blocking her heart, but the fact that Lao Ba once had another woman. This was the crux of the problem.
Bafujin's situation is actually very common in modern society. When her husband cheats, some women simply choose to divorce, but some choose to stay married for one reason or another. How many of those stay married?
I really want this matter to be over. Isn't it just that I'm feeling awkward in my heart, trying to survive, doing various things. Let's do it once, I feel sick, and I just can't get over this matter. I want a divorce, but I'm not willing to let it go, and I can't bear to give it up.
All choices are made by yourself. You have to move forward on the path you choose.
Of course, Bafujin’s situation is different. She can’t live without her!
But even if she is allowed to reconcile, will she really reconcile?
Lin Yutong shook his head, the answer was no. She couldn't bear to leave Lao Ba's.
The problem doesn't go back to the far point anymore, the only way to do it is to not let go of the other party, nor let herself go.
When I came back from Hangzhou, I saw Ba Fujin twice, and he didn't look good at all. It can be seen that even if Ba Fujin is supported and coaxed like that, he can't get through it.
what else can we do?
Thinking about her family affairs, and looking at the one she is holding in her hand, she actually has a big head.
I went back and arranged Hong Sheng in the wing room. After a few months, it seemed to be okay. Hong Sheng came back from school and played with Hong Han and the other kids. As time went by, things got better.
.
Once Hong Sheng got to know the kids better, summer would pass in the blink of an eye.
In autumn, the Fourth Master went to the outside of the Great Wall. This time Lin Yutong did not go with him, but stayed to look after the Queen Mother. After raising the Queen Mother for half a year, it seemed that her energy was still short. Lin Yutong did not dare to go anywhere for the time being.
I really can't tell. If there really is a setting, it would be an accident.
This time Dong E of Fujin from Hongshi also stayed. After waiting for so many years, she finally got pregnant and couldn't run away with her, so she came to live in the courtyard.
Hong Zhou and his wife went there with their children, and they were not afraid of the bumpy road due to their small children.
Hongli didn't go this time, and it was not his turn to supervise the country. There were thirteen, and Lin Yutong needed the seal for important events. Then the Fourth Master left with his people.
Nowadays, hunting can only be regarded as a kind of entertainment, and it is an important school inspection. It is something that Fourth Master cannot do without going.
Lin Yutong also asked someone to take down his portrait on the wall and replace it with Fourth Master's.
The fourth master left, but as soon as it was time to eat, the four little ones looked towards the door, obviously waiting for their mother to come back. From the time the children started eating complementary foods, if there were no special circumstances, the fourth master would definitely come back to eat with the children.
. Once this habit is developed, the child will notice it when it suddenly disappears.
Hongjing pointed at the door and looked at Dong Xiaowan, "Ama... Ama..." she called several times. Seeing that Dong Xiaowan didn't move, she went to look at Zhang Qilin, shouting, "Go...go...find...ah..."
Ma…”
Every time it was time for dinner, if the fourth master did not come back in time, Lin Yutong would send Zhang Qilin to see if there was anyone busy in front of him. She noticed that it was the same person who called her Ama every time.
Why are you so clever?
Lin Yutong loved her so much that she held her in her arms and kissed her hard several times.
While struggling, the girl turned her face to look at Zhang Qilin, with a very angry look on her face.
Zhang Qilin was busy apologizing and said, "Oh my Shige Ge, where can I find Long Live Lord for you?"
Hongjing held her tongue and said, "I want Amma!" To Lin Yutong, she said three words in a row, which was a sentence.
The one here was not coaxed yet, and the three on the other side were watching eagerly. Hong Sheng took the chopsticks and ate first, coaxing him while eating, "Eat quickly, and go find Amma after you finish eating."
But when they finished eating, Hongjing grabbed Hongsheng and didn't let go, as if he wouldn't stop until he found Amma.
Lin Yutong just laughed and didn't care. Some children couldn't be coaxed as they would often take them seriously.
There was a lot of excitement here, and a little eunuch came in from outside and talked in Zhang Qilin's ear. Zhang Qilin went out for a while and came back and said, The Thirteenth Master is here and wants to see him.
Then something big must have happened.
Now, I'm afraid the fourth master hasn't even left the capital yet, so why did he report to his place?
After settling the children, I changed my clothes and hurried to the front. Without doing much to avoid suspicion, the uncle and sister-in-law saw the ceremony and sat down.
"What happened?" Lin Yutong got straight to the point, "Let's not be polite."
The Thirteenth Master said in a low voice: "I haven't told Master Long live this matter yet. Come over quickly and tell the Fourth Sister-in-law that it is the Fourth Brother's business."
What happened to Hongli?
Lin Yutong frowned, "Are you in trouble?"
"It's not a big deal." The Thirteenth Master looked a little embarrassed, "It's just that a girl named Xia came from the Zongren Mansion. She said she was from Jinan, and she brought a child with her. She said it was the fourth elder brother Hongli's."
Lin Yutong blinked several times before he understood what this meant.
"It's from Hongli?" She was a little confused, "Where's the person?"
"Where are the people?" No matter how confused his mind is, he must first find a way to solve the problem in front of him.
The Thirteenth Master is still reliable in doing things. "My brother dare not put people in the clan's mansion. There are no secrets there. Let's put the people in the mansion first. Fujin is watching. This brother is free."
Come on, let’s talk to Fourth Sister-in-law first. Now that I don’t understand the cause and effect, I don’t dare to tell Fourth Brother.”
The main reason is that I am afraid that the fourth master will punish Hongli in a fit of anger. I have no problem with my son, but if I add uncle to it, it will not be right.
Lin Yutong understood, and actually felt very grateful to Thirteen. The Zongren Mansion was not under the control of Thirteen, it was in charge of the Fifth Master. Thirteen was able to handle the matter quickly because he took into account the Fifth Master's temperament.
As soon as it came out, he had to figure it out first and then directly report it to the Fourth Master. During this period, the whole world would know about this scandal.
"It's handled well." She told Master Thirteen, "You go and do your work first. I know about this. Then just give me the person, and I will take care of the rest..." I won't ask you to be caught in the middle.
Trouble in the middle.
The Thirteenth Master was sent away here, and Dong Xiaowan was immediately asked to take someone to pick up Miss Xia from Jinan.
In my heart, ten thousand horses are galloping past. What kind of plot is this?
It's really a question of whether I should sleep or not.
When I think about it, I feel that I have thought too much. How could such a coincidence happen?
I was just afraid that Hongli had accidentally fallen into the trap of the White Lotus Sect. When did he not come? Now when the leaders of the White Lotus Sect were being arrested everywhere, this girl came.
It’s hard to think about it without thinking too much.
Dong Xiaowan came back quickly, with a strange expression on his face. Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat, "What's going on?"
"That girl..." Dong Xiaowan shook his head, "She doesn't look like someone from the White Lotus Sect."
That is to say, do you really have a relationship with a girl from an innocent family?
"Call Si Age..." Lin Yutong paused, then added: "...and Si Fujin."
The Fucha family has the right to know about this matter.
Dong Xiaowan arranged for someone to deliver the order, and when he came back, Lin Yutong ordered again, "Bring that girl here and let me have a look..."
This girl is very thin, dressed in crescent-white clothes, with white flowers in her hair. She seems to be still in the midst of her devotion.
Where can I wear mourning when entering the palace?
Dong Xiaowan glanced at the queen helplessly, then lowered her head and took two steps back.
The girl knelt down with a thud, followed by kowtowing no matter how many times she kowtowed, "A civilian girl has tarnished the royal family's purity and should not have come, but she did not dare to let the royal blood flow outside, so she had to come..."
"
Lin Yutong didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and called Bitao over to help the person up.
It can be seen that she is very scared, and she may not have had much courage to say these words. At this moment, her whole body felt as if she was exhausted, the sweat on her head kept dripping down, and her teeth were trembling.
Why ask this? If you continue to ask, the person will faint immediately.
"Take him down first, drink a bowl of soothing soup, and then come back to ask questions." After he was comforted here, the child's cry came from outside again.
The girl looked outside eagerly, as if she was afraid that Lin Yutong would not let her see the child.
Lin Yutong waved his hand and asked Bitao to take the two girls down. Then he remembered something and asked Dong Xiaowan, "Who does that little girl look like?"
Little girl?
Dong Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, "Which little girl?"
"The one I'm holding in my arms." Who else could it be? "It's the one Xia gave birth to."
The girls in the clan talked about the Xia family, and I didn’t even know which one to ask.
But Dong Xiaowan was even more confused, "I told the empress that Xia gave birth to a daughter?"
Is not it?
Lin Yutong slapped his forehead, and he had preconceived ideas. When he heard the surname was Xia, and when he heard Jinan, the only thing he thought of was Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake. When he thought of Xia Yuhe, he naturally thought of Xia Ziwei, and thought that this was the one who was crying just now.
Xia Ziwei plaid.
It turns out not to be!
It's not worse! Even if this girl admits her mistake, it doesn't matter. She will be married off with a dowry. If this is a son, especially when Hongli doesn't have a child yet, a son suddenly appears.
Brother, the eldest son born outside. This is no joke.
No wonder Thirteenth Master takes things so seriously. The real difficulty lies here.
It is probably because of this that Fifth Master has a hard time showing up.
This is difficult to manage. Even if this child is real, is it good to find such an eldest son for Hongli and a grandson of such a background for the emperor? Besides, there are also Fucha family and Ulanara family included.
Woolen cloth.
Neither the direct Fu Jin nor the side Fu Jin were born.
Then the eldest son was parachuted out, and the two families were very upset.
What's even more terrible is, who can prove that this child is real, and who can prove that this child must be fake.
What if I made a mistake?
Just as I was thinking about it, it was reported over there that Hongli and his wife had entered the garden.
Hongli had a pretty good life in the past six months. Financially, he had a lot of money because he deceived the White Lotus Sect once. In addition, he assisted in handling the White Lotus Sect's affairs, handling the Lin Ping case and the murder of Lu Liuliang's family, which made him very happy.
Take the limelight.
But when it comes to happiness, Hongli is really not that happy.
In the prison cell of the Criminal Department, he met the woman named Magu.
I vomited after I went back, and I hated the White Lotus Sect to death. Is it so easy to fool me?
He secretly interrogated several people in person, and his heart sank little by little. Judging from various signs, he could believe so much in what happened back then. Although the White Lotus Sect was hateful, if the people around him hadn't moved...
If you don't have thoughts that you shouldn't have, you won't fall into such a big pit easily.
It’s not just the White Lotus Sect who thinks of themselves as fools.
Think about the painting that appeared in Gao's house, and then think about what Fujin said and did in it. Everything has a meaning.
He didn't dare to investigate further. But he knew in his heart that his virtuous Fujin was not clear about this matter.
Thinking about her motives again, he couldn't help but think of his mother-in-law. Thinking of all the unhappiness, he understood. How could Fujin be virtuous?
When such a person sleeps next to the pillow, he will be scared even with his eyes open. He feels like he is coiled around him like a poisonous snake, and he is not sure when he will pounce and bite him.
Therefore, the relationship between the couple has not been very good recently, so I stopped by Fujin's place to thank him, and slowly started to go to Fucha Gege's place and Gao's place. A few days ago, Fujin said that Huang Ama was leaving the capital, let's go there
We should live closer to the garden so that we can take care of each other. She suggested that we should live in the other courtyard of Fucha's family, but Hongli didn't agree. But he thought in his heart that he knew that he lacked the courtyard here, so he really cared about himself.
I can shortchange you by sending the land deed directly. So I asked Wu Shulai to take the money and go to the garden to see if anyone wanted to sell it, or even buy a small one. In short, I didn’t want to go to Fucha’s house with Fujin.
.
Wu Shulai came back grumbling, and finally found out that the Fucha family had separated a part of their courtyard as a dowry for their own family, Fujin. This happened last year, and it was the area where they lived before. But Fujin
She didn't say anything, just that she was going to live in her parents' yard.
If he hadn't wanted to buy a yard, Wu Shulai would have heard about it when he inquired about it, and he wouldn't have known how long it had been kept secret.
It's not a big deal, but it makes people feel very chilled when they think about it.
Fujin doesn't have any trust in him as a man.
After all, my family bought a yard and just moved here two days ago. I originally wanted to ask the Ulanala family and the Gao family to come with them, but Fujin refused because the queen didn't like it.
This makes sense, and he doesn't refute it, and he really doesn't bring it up.
But she didn't go to Fujin's place after all, but she was lucky enough to bring a girl with her. The girl looked familiar. She seemed to have followed the Gao family in the past, but now she was Fujin's foot-washing maid.
Ha! What a good Fujin, with a virtuous appearance, but she was not very capable of humiliating the Gao family. She demoted the Gao family's personal maid to a foot-washing maid, this is her generosity.
Feeling uncomfortable, I woke up in the morning and asked Mrs. Fucha to clean up the house for Mrs. Wei, which was considered to be a formal closing of the house.
Fujin's face was not good at that time, and he looked bad now. He had already entered the garden. Hongli lowered his voice and warned, "Fu Jin should at least put the expression on his face away. What are you doing? Come to Huang's mother."
Also, show your face, who are you showing off to?"
Mrs. Fucha turned her face: "It doesn't make sense! What did I do wrong? Tell me something so that I can understand. Now that you are like this, I don't even know what you did wrong. Then when the Ministry of Punishment is reviewing the case, why not
Give the prisoner a chance to plead guilty. You just decided the crime on me in black and white. If you said I was unjust or not, you could just die in front of me and atone for it. At least you would let me know how I died.
Is this too much to ask for?"
Hongli turned his face and looked at Fucha deeply, without saying anything. If you like it, you can do whatever you want.
Mr. Fucha lowered his eyelids, feeling more or less aware of it.
In fact, the queen already knew about what happened at the beginning. To say how scared she was, it was really not true. Didn’t the queen also give a lecture like this and not say anything more?
When the Queen made the mistake, she really knew she was wrong. At that time, she had no idea that the things involved would be so complicated. But she had done it and there was nothing to regret. Even if Hongli found out, what would happen to them?
A thorn is planted between mother and child.
Seeing Hongli walking quickly, leaving him behind, Fucha bit her lip and her face turned white little by little. What did the queen say at that time? She said that her hypocrisy was the same as Hongli's carelessness.
Which one is more noble?
Those words didn't sound very nice, and she didn't want to think of them, and she couldn't remember the exact words, but that's probably what they meant.
Is this the reward for my hypocrisy?
That's really what you deserve.
Hongli did not hide his disagreement with the Fucha family in front of Lin Yutong at all. He walked in first and the Fucha family arrived later.
When the two of them came in like this, could Lin Yutong not tell that they were having trouble?
Really!
"Let's all sit down." She was not interested in caring about what was going on between the two of them. She just asked Hongli, "Do you know a girl named Xia in Jinan?"
Jinan?
Your surname is Xia?
Hongli shook his head first, "Son..." Just as he said he didn't remember, he heard a cough from outside the screen. It was Wu Shulai's voice. He couldn't wait inside, so he could only wait outside. He was afraid that he might have heard the questioning inside.
, then reminded myself.
Do you know him?
Hongli vaguely remembered who it was. It was the family he went to on the rainy night. Was that family's surname Xia?
His face was red and white, and he had so many things to do when he came back that he completely forgot about this incident.
"Son..." Hongli knelt down with a pop, "My son was confused for a moment."
"Confused?" Lin Yutong was so angry that his heart ached, "Are you confused? You are a bastard!"
Hongli was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, and Fucha didn't dare to sit down either. He just knelt down silently behind him.
Lin Yutong called Dong Xiaowan, "Hold Si Fujin up..." It makes no sense for a man to flirt with women outside, and the women at home should be punished too.
Mrs. Fucha took Dong Xiaowan's arm and stood there, not daring to move. She thought to herself that the queen shouldn't lose such a temper if she was lucky enough to meet a girl, right?
"That's a girl from a small family!" Lin Yutong pointed at Hongli and scolded, "But your etiquette, justice and shame have all been learned from a dog's belly. You turned around and left. What should you do if you call someone else's girl? You know that you lose money before marriage?"
What will happen to Zhen's girl? It's a capital crime. You don't need to go to the government, the family can directly execute you. You were happy for a while, but you almost killed her."
Human life?
"A life was lost?" Hong Li's face turned pale, "Did someone really die? Why?"
Why not?
Just as Lin Yutong was about to speak, a sharp baby cry came from the corner room next door.
Both Hongli and his wife were stunned. Xiaoqi and the others were already old. These four were very well-behaved and rarely cried like this. Besides, this is not how a child who is almost two years old cries. When he came in just now,
I saw that Hong Sheng and Grandma were playing in the yard with four little ones.
This is certainly not their cry.
There are no other children in this palace. The Hong Zhou family has been taken outside the Great Wall, so it is impossible.
Who could it be?
Lin Yutong glanced at the two of them, lowered his head and told Hongli to get up, and then looked at Dong Xiaowan, "Bring the people in."
As the baby's cry came closer and closer, Mrs. Fucha's complexion became paler and paler. This child could not be her father's.
how so?
Hongli didn't have this idea in his heart. But for him, he really didn't want to recognize this child.
He frowned tightly and looked back.
He saw someone half-supporting a pale woman at the door. As soon as the woman came in, she stared at him with a trace of unbearability flashing in his eyes. This woman was somewhat different from the girl he saw at the Daming Lake.
.Although this girl was also slender at that time, she did not look as frail as she does now. She was also seen wearing plain clothes and wearing white silk flowers on her head. It seemed that a close relative at home had passed away. She took Rexiao and carried the child into the capital.
The journey is thousands of miles long and it is indeed not easy.
She held a child in her arms, swaddling it with blue cotton, and wrapping it so tightly that it could not be seen. The child was crying heartbreakingly in the swaddling body, which was very sad to hear.
Hongli looked at Lin Yutong for help, "Empress Huang... this... the way the child is crying..." It doesn't seem right!
He had seen the four little ones cry, and he had also seen the little nephews of the Hongzhou family crying and fussing. None of them were like this.
Dong Xiaowan received Lin Yutong's signal and went over, "Give me the child, and I'll find the wet nurse to feed the child some milk."
But the girl hugged the child tighter, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch the child away.
Dong Xiaowan looked at Hongli for help, "I'm afraid that Brother Si will give it to her if he asks for it."
Hongli had no choice but to stretch out his hand awkwardly, and the woman's tears suddenly fell down, "...Young Master...no...it's the fourth elder brother. I have finally found you..."
Hongli nodded casually, his head hurting from the child's crying, "Give me the child first, so we can talk more easily."
"This is the son I gave birth to for my brother." A smile broke out on the woman's face, "Do you think he looks like you?"
Mr. Fucha looked very ugly. Who did he think he was when he acted like this in front of him? He was too much of a bully!
Hongli just smiled stiffly and carried the child over. He only took a quick look at the child. He was small and thin, with withered hair. He frowned slightly and handed the child to Dong Xiaowan. He saw the girl looking anxiously following her.
He walked away from the child, as if he was going to pounce on it the next moment, so he stopped him quickly, "I'm just going to feed the child. You sit down first. Don't disturb Huang's mother." There are Xiao Qi and others here.
These four were frightened.
The woman pulled his sleeve, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded gently, "You are the biological father of the child, so you will not harm the child."
Mrs. Fucha frowned and looked at the queen carefully. This woman kept saying that her father was the child's biological mother, but the royal bloodline was so easy to recognize?
Lin Yutong motioned for them all to sit down and stopped asking Hongli. He knew he couldn't ask. He looked at it as if he picked a random wild flower by the roadside and would not remember anything else. So he simply called Zhang Qilin.
He went out, called Wu Shulai directly, and scolded him sternly: "Speak clearly, if you dare to hide anything, I will take you out and give you a hundred sticks first."
How could Wu Shulai dare to speak? He just knelt down and kowtowed to his head, but he didn't dare to answer.
Hongli smiled awkwardly, "Just ask your son. What does this stupid slave know?"
Lin Yutong's face changed, and he shouted directly: "Come here! Pull this slave out and beat him! Life or death!" As he said this, without looking at the trembling Wu Shulai, "Follow the master out. I don't know what to say. It all depends on the master's temper."
. He said he wanted to kill someone, so you not only handed him the knife, but also helped him bury it, right? Since you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it in the future."
Only then did Wu Shulai realize that he was afraid, and whispered: "Brother...save this slave..."
fool!
Didn’t you realize that Huang A Niang was just scaring you? Even if there were slaves who committed crimes, Huang A Niang would send them directly to the Criminal Punishment Department. When had you ever seen her deal with a slave directly?
No! Not one!
When Hongli was thinking about getting up and kneeling down to reply, the woman stepped out from the side, knelt down again, and knelt directly opposite Lin Yutong, "Mother! This is not my brother's fault, it is all the fault of the women...
"
As soon as he heard this line, Lin Yutong's scalp exploded.
"Stop talking." Lin Yutong interrupted him roughly, "I ask you questions. What do you answer when I ask you?"
Mrs. Xia was too frightened to speak, so she just nodded.
A trace of contempt flashed in Mr. Fucha's eyes, and then he looked at Hongli, who was sitting there with an embarrassed and somewhat ashamed look on his face. I think he also regretted it at this time. He felt that this woman had lost his person.
Even the royal concubine Gege is not so vulgar.
Is there something wrong with his way of looking at women? When he thinks about it, he feels quite disgusted. After all, he begged her for her, and he is the kind of woman he would not marry unless she had it.
Lin Yutong saw the expressions of the three people sitting below him, frowned and asked Xia, "When did you meet Hongli?"
"It was May 13th last year." Xia's face suddenly turned red.
"Did you know who he was at that time?" Lin Yutong asked again.
Xia shook her head, "I don't know. Maybe my brother was in a hurry to leave that night and left without telling me..." After saying that, he was worried that someone might misunderstand him, so he quickly added: "But my brother didn't
You failed me and left me something..."
As he said that, he looked to Dong Xiaowan aside.
Dong Xiaowan understood immediately and reported back: "When this girl entered the yard, she carried a small baggage with her and didn't let us move it. But we didn't check it. It's against the rules to bring it in. She just left it outside."
"Bring it in." Lin Yutong glanced at Hongli, who looked confused, and thought to himself, it seems that Hongli didn't know such a thing.
Yes! Hongli didn't remember such a thing. He looked at Wu Shulai, who was kneeling aside and trying to minimize his presence. Wu Shulai shook his head vaguely, meaning that he didn't.
But when the things were brought up and the baggage was opened by Dong Xiaowan, Hongli's expression became wonderful. He remembered, didn't it rain that night? Wu Shulai went out to buy him ready-made clothes. He bought the clothes there that night.
I changed them in the girl's room, but I left all my old clothes behind. I didn't even bring them with me.
Who would have thought that this girl regarded this as a token.
By the way, are there any marks on the clothes that can prove your identity?
Lin Yutong took out the clothes one by one and looked at them. Although the workmanship was good, if someone was asked to check in the palace, they could be traced to Hongli. But how did a girl from a small family in Jinan get from
Does this reveal Hongli’s identity?
After looking through it again, there was no purse or jade pendant. It seemed that Hongli was not stupid. He had taken everything he had with him. The belt was not a yellow belt either.
Putting these aside one by one, Lin Yutong frowned at the last small object held up in green cloth. She opened it and took a look. It was a folding fan. The handwriting inside was as good as new. It was a poem, and the signature was exactly
Hongli's seal.
Lin Yutong frowned and threw the fan to Hongli, "Is it yours?"
Hongli picked it up and looked at it, then shook his head, "It rained that night, so this paper fan should be wet when I put it on my body. It is obviously well preserved, with no trace of water at all... This is definitely not left by my son."
of……"
After saying that, he looked at Lin Yutong.
As soon as their eyes met, they both understood that Xia's visit to Beijing was probably instigated by someone...
