Chapter 40: The Affair
Bizhi frowned and replied, "Just when Marquis Yongning and his wife were about to go to bed, Nanny Dong knocked on the door again and again in a hurry and whispered, saying: The grain escort officer from the capital has arrived and wants to see Marquis Yongning."
Another grain escort officer from the capital?
Tonight, when entertaining Ning Yuanhou and his wife and Jiang Chi at the Moon Viewing Pavilion, her father specifically asked Ning Yuanhou about the affairs of the northern border.
Ningyuan Hou said: "Perhaps because of the continuous heavy snowfall in winter, several Xiongnu tribes are short of medicine and food. In the spring, several Xiongnu tribes have shown signs of stirring up trouble.
If they dare to invade even an inch of the northern border, at the command of Your Majesty, I will gather the troops and draw my sword, and I will ensure that the Xiongnu retreat a hundred miles and dare not invade again. "
Since there was no war in the north, why would the grain escort officer from the capital come to visit Marquis Yongning again and again in the middle of the night?
Lin Luoling stared at Bizhi, only to see that Bizhi's brows had furrowed even deeper.
She continued, "I followed the Marquis of Yongning to about three feet away from the study, and saw from afar on the roof that the grain escort officer from the capital was not wearing his official uniform, but night clothes. After he entered the study with the Marquis of Yongning, the doors and windows of the study were tightly closed, and they talked privately for more than half an hour."
Hearing this, Lin Luoling tapped the table rhythmically with her fingers.
Nearly half of Lin’s goods are sent to the capital.
Just talking about the official uniforms of officials in the court, they were all made by Lin’s imperial weaving workshop. After being made according to the annual list, they were sent to the Imperial Office in the capital, and then distributed to the officials in the court by the Imperial Office.
The Lin family is the richest family in Jingxuzhou. Even Cao Peng, the governor of Jingxuzhou, has to give Lin Tingxu some face, not to mention the seven county governors and dozens of government offices under the jurisdiction of Jingxuzhou.
Behind closed doors, Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun chatted about the current political situation and the ways of the world, without avoiding the mention of Lin Luoling.
Therefore, Lin Luoling was very clear about the ranks of officials in the court and the laws of the Tianqi Kingdom.
According to the laws of the Tianqi Kingdom, the biggest taboo for grain escort officers is to have private connections with local officials who store military rations.
Moreover, he was wearing his nightgown in the middle of the night and had a private conversation with Marquis Yongning for more than half an hour.
Lin Luoling's eyes turned. This grain escort officer should not be sent by the grain and grass transport supervisor under the Grand Marshal.
Or they are using the name to do other things.
Or he might be a grain escort officer under a general.
Maybe something else?
This may be the reason why Marquis Yongning arranged three secret guards to guard the study.
Lin Luoling couldn't help but ask, "Where did the grain escort officer go after leaving Yongning Marquis's Mansion? Did you follow him to see?"
Bizhi said, "I was also curious, so I followed the grain escort officer all the way. Miss, guess where he went?"
"Where?" Lin Luoling's eyes flickered.
"Wherever he went was Tianxiang Tower."
"Tianxiang Tower?"
Lin Luoling never expected that she would go to a brothel.
Then Bizhi said excitedly, "That person took off her nightgown. I leaned over the window and took a look. It turned out to be the courtesan of Tianxiang Tower."
Bizhi rubbed her nose and said in disbelief, "I've often heard people say that the courtesan in Tianxiang Tower is incredibly beautiful, but I never thought she was actually a man pretending to be her."
Lin Luoling was also very surprised. After a moment's silence, he said, "You mean, the courtesan of Tianxiang Tower is a man dressed as a woman? And he also pretended to be a grain escort officer and had a secret conversation with the Yongning Marquis in the study for more than half an hour?"
Bizhi nodded and said, "That's right."
According to the memories of her previous life, Lin Luoling knew very well that Marquis Yongning had sold the military rations stored in Jingxuzhou privately to someone unknown. After she married into the Marquis Yongning's mansion, the Marquis's wife often used her dowry to secretly purchase large quantities of grain to make up for the shortfall from Marquis Yongning's private sale of grain.
Therefore, when she returned home this time, she privately told He Jinchun about her plan to set a trap for Zhu Xianzhi.
If Lin Luoling were to say that Zhu Jingzhong had an affair with the courtesan of Tianxiang Tower, she would definitely believe it.
But Marquis Yongning was completely focused on restoring the glory and status of his former mansion, so it was impossible for him to have anything to do with a brothel.
What's more, the courtesan in Tianxiang Tower was actually disguised as a man.
In this case, the identity of the courtesan in Tianxiang Tower must be unusual.
When Lin Luoling was rubbing his forehead in thought, Biyou walked in, looking like she had seen a good show, and she couldn't hide it at all.
"Miss, guess what I saw?"
When Lin Luoling heard Bizhi say that the fake grain escort officer was the courtesan of Tianxiang Tower, and a man, and then heard Biyou ask her the same question, she felt that nothing could surprise her.
She asked calmly, "What?"
Biyou covered her mouth and laughed, "This servant actually saw the adultery in the West Courtyard!"
"Adultery?" Lin Luoling asked, "Who is having an affair with whom?"
Biyou smacked her lips and said, "The second young master has a fractured left shoulder bone and has been groaning non-stop on the bed. Your mother-in-law has called the court doctor three times to see the second young master, and Chunlan Courtyard has not closed the gate tonight.
Rong Shuhua, that filthy woman, was beaten so badly by the Second Young Master that she could barely walk, yet she actually sneaked to the back door in the middle of the night, gave the gatekeeper a tael of silver, and sneaked out of the house at night to meet her lover.
Lin Luoling widened her eyes. Rong Shuhua has a lover?
I suddenly felt that the East and West Courtyards of Yongning Marquis' Mansion were really lively tonight.
Ting Biyou continued, "I thought Rong Shuhua went out of the house in the middle of the night to see the child, but I didn't expect Rong Shuhua to run three streets and knock on a door. The one who opened the door was a gentle young man.
Rong Shuhua rushed over and cried, asking the young man: How long do you want me to stay in Yongning Marquis's Mansion before you take me to the capital? Zhu Xianzhi is such a black-hearted man, look at how he beat me, if you don't take me away, I'm afraid you'll have to collect my body in less than ten days or half a month.
When the young man saw Rong Shuhua crying loudly, he pulled Rong Shuhua into the house and persuaded her with soft words for a long time. Rong Shuhua refused to leave and took off her clothes and rolled onto the bed with the young man in her arms.
Lin Luoling: ...
Is that boy Zhu Xianzhi's?
Unexpectedly, Biyou's next words answered the doubts that popped up in Lin Luoling's mind.
"When the two were having fun, I heard the young man ask Rong Shuhua in a hoarse voice: Where did they hide your and Zhu Xianzhi's child? You never knew. How could you bear to abandon the child and follow me?"
So, the boy is Zhu Xianzhi's?
Lin Luoling rubbed his forehead. Why is it so messy?
Biyou continued, "Rong Shuhua said: I have told you many times, when you celebrated my father's birthday that day, Zhu Xianzhi got drunk, climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, and took me by force. At that time, he pinched my neck and threatened me that if I dared to make a sound, he would strangle me to death.
The next day after the incident, I told you. You said you would help me get revenge. I never thought that after just being with him that one time, I would get pregnant with his child. How could I have any feelings for him or for that child?"
The child is Zhu Xianzhi's, but Rong Shuhua likes someone else.
So, Rong Shuhua gave birth to Zhu Xianzhi's child, but did not ask for any official status and was willing to be raised secretly by Zhu Xianzhi, just for revenge?
wrong!
Lin Luoling rubbed her forehead, carefully recalling Rong Shuhua's expression and words before she died in her previous life.
Rong Shuhua is lying!
So who is this man?
