Xiao Lianqin returned to the branch sect and met Lin Yi when she was returning to her hometown.
It turned out that Lin Yi knew that his father had also come to Hezhou, so he went to visit him. Lin Yi knew that his father came to Hezhou for Zuo Jingjing. Now that his mother was dead, Lin Yi did not want his father to die alone. Zuo Jingjing was now a widow.
He and his father are old friends, and he and Zuo Chaoyang are like brothers. Lin Yi hopes that his father can get married to Zuo Jingjing. It can be considered a good relationship.
While the two men were chatting, Qin Gumei told Lin Yi that Xiao Lianqin had brought a mysterious person to see Zuo Jingjing.
Lin Yi wondered at that time whether this mysterious man might be Zuo Chaoyang.
If it was Zuo Chaoyang, why didn't he even notify him when he came back? Instead, he asked Xiao Lianqin to bring him in.
Meeting Xiao Lianqin at this moment, Lin Yi pulled Xiao Lianqin aside and said, "Lianqin, tell me honestly, is Chaoyang back?"
Xiao Lianqin wondered: "Brother Lin, I promised that person not to say anything. Brother Lin, please be considerate of me."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Since Lianqin promised that person, you can't break your promise. Just pretend that I didn't ask. But this time when you return to the south, you must be more careful along the way. If Qin Dingfang finds out, he will definitely use his methods.
"
Lin Yi was worried that Su Qinghou and the others' trip south would cause unintended consequences.
Xiao Lianqin smiled and said: "I know you are worried about your wife and children. Don't worry, with me and Mr. Hou here, your wife and baby daughter will be safe and sound."
Then Xiao Lianqin went back to clean up.
Looking at Xiao Lianqin's back, he wondered who the mysterious man was? What on earth were they hiding from him? Lin Yi couldn't figure it out for a moment.
In the early morning of the next day, before the sky became bright, Su Qinghou and Xiao Lianqin led more than ten people to leave the branch sect.
Lin Yi sent them two miles away and then parted ways. They would soon return to their hometown in the south, and Su Qinghou was in a particularly good mood.
Before leaving, he asked Lin Yi with great interest: "Lin Yi, I am your father-in-law, and I hope I will be your second grandfather when I return. When the time comes for us to fight to the death, who do you want to win?"
Lin Yi said truthfully: "I hope you will both suffer losses and be unable to fight anymore."
Su Qinghou said: "But sometimes things don't go as planned."
After saying that, Su Qinghou clapped his horse and drove forward.
Xiao Lianqin and others followed soon after.
Lin Yi watched them disappear into the winter morning light.
When Lin Yi returned to the branch, he saw the guard at the door stopping an old man for questioning. It turned out that the old man was just an ordinary citizen nearby. He went out to collect firewood early in the morning and met a man. He gave him a tael of silver and asked him to come here as a gift.
This letter is for Zuo Jingjing.
Lin Yi took the letter and decided to deliver it to Zuo Jingjing personally.
Lin Yi took the letter and went to Zuo Jingjing's place. He saw his father standing at the door of the courtyard. The door of the courtyard where Zuo Jingjing lived was not yet opened, and the gatekeeper had not come out yet.
Because of the cold weather, Qin Gumei still rubbed her hands and stamped her feet.
Lin Yi burst out laughing. He stepped forward and said, "Dad, it's so cold. Why are you guarding the gate of Zuozhangmen courtyard so early?"
Qin Gumei said: "What do you know? Only when Jin Cheng is there can gold and stone be opened. Yi'er, remember, if you want to win women's hearts, you have to impress them first. Make them feel that you can go through fire and water for them, and then they can
Show your body..."
Qin Gumeixia's words suddenly stopped.
Qin Gumei originally wanted to teach her son how to please women, but suddenly she thought that her son was now married and had a daughter. He also had a very good relationship with Su Jiner, Qinse and Ming. It was really inappropriate for him to teach his son how to please women.
Qin Gumei smiled without being embarrassed and said: "Live a good life with Jin'er. You just treat me like a father and don't say anything."
Facing his romantic father, Lin Yi smiled helplessly.
But then Lin Yi thought about it, if his father hadn't been so romantic back then, he wouldn't be here.
As soon as he thought about this, Lin Yi suddenly remembered something.
Lin Yi looked around and saw that there was no one around, then whispered: "Dad, you were very romantic back then. Apart from Duoduo, who may be my sister, do you think there are no more children outside?"
Qin Gumei had suspected that Zuo Chaoyang was her son, but Zuo Jingjing denied it. Moreover, it was related to Zuo Jingjing's reputation, so Qin Gumei did not dare to make random guesses, let alone speak nonsense.
Now when her son asked, Qin Gumei said: "Do you hope there are more?"
Lin Yi said: "I hope it's better to be a boy. Then I will have a brother. I won't recognize that beast Qin Dingfang."
Qin Gumei didn't know how to answer, so he said noncommittally: "I also hope you have a brother..."
At this time, Lin Yi heard footsteps coming out of the house. Lin Yi made a gesture to his father.
The father and son stopped talking.
Lin Yi also raised his hand and knocked lightly on the courtyard door twice.
After a moment, the door opened, and two masters from the Zuo family appeared.
They saw Lin Yi also at the door and hurriedly bowed to say hello.
They invited Lin Yi and Qin Gumei into the living room first, and then reported to Zuo Jingjing.
Zuo Jing came to the living room after washing herself.
Zuo Jingjing smiled and said: "It's so early in the morning, you two came to visit me. I'm really flattered."
Although Zuo Jingjing was chatting and laughing, she was very upset in her heart. If Wang Huihui really killed her sister, then the Zuo family and the Qin family would have gone from being happy to each other to being enemies.
This is the situation she least wants to see.
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I was sending Lord Hou back, and someone happened to send a letter to Master Zuo. So I brought it. I also paid a visit to Master Zuo."
Seeing that Zuo Jingjing was in high spirits, Lin Yi concluded that the mysterious person yesterday must be Zuo Chaoyang. Zuo Chaoyang must have come back to see his mother. Even if he came back to see his mother, he didn't have to be so mysterious. There must be other things going on.
Lin Yi handed the letter to Zuo Jingjing.
Zuo Jingjing opened it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a letter from her son. The letter said that she had made an appointment with Ling Ni to meet at the mill by the red leaf forest in the southwest of Hezhou in half an hour.
Zuo Jingjing suppressed her excitement. She put away the letter and touched her head with her hand and said: "Prince Lin. I had insomnia last night and now I still have a headache and chest tightness. I want to go to sleep for a while..."
Of course Lin Yi and his son recognized that Zuo Jingjing was politely expelling the guest.
The father and son left first.
Lin Yi asked his father to go back first, on the pretext that he wanted to patrol the church.
After Zuo Jingjing received this letter, she kicked out the guest. Lin Yi guessed that there must be something hidden in it. Zuo Jingjing was probably going out to meet someone.
What on earth is being hidden from him?
Lin Yi was extremely curious at this moment.
Lin Yi decided that if Zuo Jingjing went out, he would quietly follow her to find out.
As expected by Lin Yi, Zuo Jingjing tidied herself up, put on her fox fur and took four Zuo family masters out of the branch and headed southwest.
Lin Yi followed quietly.
Zuo Jingjing took people to the mill by the red leaf forest. Zuo Chaoyang was already waiting outside the mill.
Zuo Chaoyang still covered his face with a scarf, making it difficult to distinguish his appearance. He looked around with vigilant eyes. Now that people from the three major sects were looking for Ling Ni, he had to be even more cautious.
Zuo Chaoyang saw his mother coming and went to greet her.
Zuo Chaoyang asked four masters of the Zuo family to guard around the mill, and he accompanied his mother into the mill.
Zuo Jingjing entered the mill and saw Ling Ni, dressed in white and wearing a wax mask, standing there.
