Lu Jiuqing looked at Lin Zhiwei in front of him and asked for a long time: "Which branch are you...?"

If it's just a side branch of Lin's family, that's fine.

Lin Zhiwei smiled and slowly shook her head at Lu Jiuqing.

This is because she didn't want to tell Lu Jiuqing too much details. Telling her about her relationship with Lin was an explanation to Lu Jiuqing, and she might have nothing to say about the rest.

She looked at Lu Jiuqing and said softly: "If the girl is afraid, just let me go. Don't worry, I will not reveal any information about the girl no matter what from now on."

Lu Jiuqing raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, and said slowly: "The people in the Prince's Mansion are arresting people everywhere and looking for missing escaped slaves. If you go out now, you will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth."

Speaking of the prince, Lin Zhiwei's eyes suddenly darkened, and she could not control her trembling with anger.

At the same time, there is still fear engraved in my bones.

Her years of torture had already given her a physical dislike for the prince. Even just hearing his name made her feel sick and wanted to vomit.

Seeing her like this, Lu Jiuqing was silent for a moment: "Just stay here with me. My place is safe for the time being."

Lin Zhiwei looked up at her and asked softly: "Aren't you afraid, girl?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I am related to the Lin family. If the prince finds out my whereabouts, you will most likely be implicated by me and be accused of being a traitor. This will affect the whole family."

Lu Jiuqing laughed when he heard this: "I am alone, how can I have a whole family?"

Lin Zhiwei was stunned: "Aren't you from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion?"

"She's just a concubine, what's the difference if she has me or not?"

"..."

Lin Zhiwei stared at Lu Jiuqing for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "They don't treat you well."

Not a question, but an affirmation.

She took a step forward, as if she wanted to touch Lu Jiuqing, but in the end she put her hand down.

"No matter what, you have to take care of yourself." Lin Zhiwei finally said this.

After she left, Chen Yuan frowned: "Sister, do you really want to keep her?"

Lu Jiuqing hummed: "I always feel... we can't just let her go."

After a pause, Lu Jiuqing suddenly remembered something. He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan: "I remember the old woman I met last time when I returned to Zhongyong Hou's Mansion. She called Miss Lin incomprehensively, and the lady under the statue of Mrs. Hou. I also saw the word "LIN" on the tablet...A Yuan, do you think Lin Zhiwei is related to these?"

Chen Yuan shook her head: "I don't know... If you want to know, girl, I can go check it out."

Lu Jiuqing nodded: "Go and check it for me. I want to know whose tablet Mrs. Hou enshrines belongs to."

Chen Yuan nodded, thought for a while, and said to Lu Jiuqing: "There is one more thing I would like to ask my sister for her opinion."

"what?"

"Tang Xiuyan... Lu Menghua gave birth to a son for him. Unfortunately, the child was born with deficiencies and needed a lot of medicinal materials to support him. Nowadays, most of the pharmacies in the city are ours, and the Tang family will inevitably come to buy medicine from us. What I mean is , should I sell this medicine or not?"

According to her intention, she didn't want to care about this matter. Tang Xiuyan's son was not hers, and it had nothing to do with her life or death.

But Lu Jiuqing was different from her, so she suppressed it and did not take action. She wanted to ask Lu Jiuqing what he wanted before making a decision.
