After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law

Lin Luoling tapped the table lightly, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Biyou, "Do you have anything else to report?"

Biyou then continued, "I don't know what the young man whispered in Rong Shuhua's ear. After that, Rong Shuhua no longer mentioned asking the young man to take her to the capital, and returned to Yongning Marquis's Mansion.

I discovered that Aunt Zhou's personal maid hid behind the wall. When she saw Rong Shuhua coming back, she smiled sinisterly. When Rong Shuhua disappeared, Aunt Zhou's maid stuffed some silver into the boy guarding the back door.

She said: Whenever that restless little bitch wants to go out, no matter how much money she gives you, you should just let her go through the back door, and our Aunt Zhou will definitely give you some money.

The servant boy smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he praised Madam Zhou repeatedly. The maid just smiled and went back to Lanxiang Pavilion.

Because the Second Master was staying in Lanxiang Pavilion tonight, the maid did not dare to disturb Aunt Zhou and went back to her room to sleep.

If nothing else happens, I will return and report to the young lady what I have seen and heard."

The Aunt Zhou that Biyou mentioned is Zhou Jiaoling.

In her previous life, Lin Luoling felt that Lan Wanshuang might have been hurt by Zhu Jingzhong's exclusive favor towards Zhou Jiaoling, so she spent the whole day holding her Buddhist beads, either praying to Buddha or copying scriptures.

Therefore, she rarely interacted with Zhou Jiaoling.

Now that I think about it, Zhou Jiaoling was originally a courtesan in a brothel, and she also had a daughter with Zhu Jingzhong. How could she not have done something tricky in order to make a living?

Lin Luoling slowly stood up, pretending to be leisurely fiddling with the dim candlelight, and said in a light tone: "It's late at night, and my mother hasn't been able to sleep well for several days, so don't disturb her. The Ningyuan Marquis' family has been at the mansion these days, and it's not good for outsiders to know about this.

I will find a suitable opportunity tomorrow and tell my mother privately."

Biyou and Bizhi looked at each other and agreed decisively.

Lin Luoling asked them both to go downstairs and have a good sleep first.

After Biyou and Bizhi left, Lin Luoling took out a thin cloak, put it on, and when going downstairs, she accidentally woke up Hualian.

Hualian rubbed her eyes and put on her shoes and said, "Miss, why haven't you slept yet?"

Lin Luoling glanced at Xiang Jin who was soundly asleep, then looked at the painted curtain and said, "I want to go to the courtyard to enjoy the moon, you just need to have a good sleep."

How could Hualian let Lin Luoling be alone in the courtyard? She took the skirt and put it on.

Knowing Hualian's personality, Lin Luoling didn't say much. He opened the door and walked out.

I don't know when it started to snow unevenly, turning into water on the ground. The whole night was shrouded in dark clouds. Not to mention the moon, even the bright stars could not be seen.

Lin Luoling held his cloak tightly, stood still under the peach tree, and looked up. There was a cold light in his eyes, three times colder than the winter moon.

An oil-paper umbrella blocked Lin Luoling's head.

Lin Luoling turned around and saw Hualian holding up an oil-paper umbrella in both hands. She advised with concern, "It's cold tonight and there's no full moon to enjoy. If you can't sleep, I'll go into the house with you to play with some clever and interesting gadgets.

I dare not wear such thin clothes and stand in the yard. What if I catch a cold? "

The cold light in Lin Luoling's eyes faded away instantly. A few fallen snowflakes hung on Hualian's eyelashes. Lin Luoling rubbed Hualian's face and smiled:

"This moon is different from that moon. Besides, why am I so fragile that I would catch a cold just standing here for a while?

Look how nervous you are. You are so anxious to come out and hold an umbrella for me even though you are wearing so little. If Sister Chen Yin prescribes you a bitter medicine tomorrow, don't frown."

Hualian held Lin Luoling's hand and said, "Your hands are so cold, and you still say you're not cold?"

Hualian was obviously a little anxious, and shouted: "If you can let me stay by your side all the time, even if I have to drink the bitter medicine soup every day, I will be willing to do it without frowning."

Lin Luoling was very moved, and held Hualian's hand and said:

"The Yongning Marquis's Mansion is a deep abyss. You and Xiangjin have been with me since you were young. I treat you two like my own sisters. How could I bear to let you two take risks with me?"

Seeing Hualian opening her lips to speak, Lin Luoling stretched out a finger, pressed it on Hualian's lips, and spoke first:

"You stay in the Lin Mansion and take good care of my mother. After I divorce that filthy bastard with a black heart, I will come back. We will be reunited in the end."

Taking the oil-paper umbrella from Hualian's hand, Lin Luoling said without allowing any objection: "Go back and put your head down. I have something on my mind that I need to figure out on my own."

After saying that, Lin Luoling pushed the painted curtain back in front of the door and walked out of the yard alone holding an oil-paper umbrella.

The Lin Mansion was well guarded by palace guards, and there were maids patrolling the inner courtyard at night, so Hualian had nothing to worry about.

However, looking at Lin Luoling's back, Hualian always felt that the young lady had changed since the day of her wedding. She no longer had the gentleness and smile of the past.

Even though the young lady smiled at her just now, for some reason, she didn't feel that the young lady's smile was genuine.

There was always a sense of coldness lingering around the young lady, which made Hualian's eyes wet. She stamped her feet and cursed the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

This immediately woke up Xiang Jin who was sleeping soundly. The two of them whispered for a long time before Lin Luoling pushed the door open and walked in. Although she was covered by an oil-paper umbrella, Lin Luoling's skirt, shoes and socks were still wet.

The painted curtain pulled Lin Luoling upstairs to change clothes. Xiang Jin fetched some hot water and helped Lin Luoling wash her face and soak her feet. The two of them stuffed Lin Luoling under the quilt and wrapped her tightly, then they felt relieved.

The door was closed and there was silence for a moment. Lin Luoling suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and blew out the last red candle burning in the room.

The room suddenly fell into darkness. She raised the corners of her lips, smiled extremely coldly, and muttered to herself:

"Since Rong Shuhua had an affair, the child could be Zhu Xianzhi's! Or it could be not!"

She spent the whole night thinking that the child was innocent.

But what about her child? Should it die in the womb?

Whenever she closed her eyes, in Lan Wanshuang's dark room, the words spoken by the mother and son would once again echo in her mind.

Thinking of what Rong Shuhua said before she died, she felt a pain in her internal organs.

The child is indeed innocent, but Zhu Xianzhi doesn't deserve to have a child!

Lin Luoling thought so! After tossing and turning for nearly half an hour, she finally fell into a light sleep.

As soon as it was dawn, Lin Luoling got up, washed and dressed with the help of Hualian and Xiangjin, changed into a new dress, calculated the time, and went to He Jinchun's yard.

After sending away the old women and maids, Lin Luoling told He Jinchun what Biyou and Bizhi had explored last night, picking out the important points.

Lin Luoling handed a piece of letter to He Jinchun and said, "This is the residence of the person who had an affair with Rong Shuhua. Mother sent someone to check it out.

As for the courtesan of Tianxiang Tower, her identity must be complicated. We have to investigate. We must know what secrets the Yongning Marquis' Mansion hides."

He Jinchun nodded in agreement.

Since Jiang Feng was not there, Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun personally led people to investigate the matter.

As soon as she woke up from a nap in the afternoon, Nanny Qi asked Lin Luoling to go to He Jinchun's yard.

Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun were both there, and Nanny Qi led the maids and servants to leave.

The door was closed, and He Jinchun said, "The man who had an affair with Rong Shuhua was named Liu Bai. He studied at Wende Academy for six years, and then went to Beijing to take the examination and entered the Staff Office.

He was highly regarded by the eldest prince, Prince Jin, and had worked in the Prince Jin's mansion for more than two years. But when he heard that he had been drunk and had delayed Prince Jin's business, he was driven out of the mansion.

Now I am working as a staff member for the military officer of Xuzhou in Beijing."

Lin Luoling's eyes turned and said, "Maybe he didn't make any mistakes with Prince Jin at all, but he was a spy that Prince Jin had planted in Jingxuzhou to keep an eye on Prince An?"

Lin Tingxu took a sip of tea and nodded, "Your mother and I think so too."

He Jinchun continued, "As for the courtesan in Tianxiang Tower, she has no surname or name. She only has the dirty name Fengying given to her by the madam of Tianxiang Tower.

It is said that one hundred taels can get you a glimpse of Fengying, and three hundred taels can get you to listen to Fengying playing the zither and dancing. If you want Fengying to spend the night with you, you must be favored by her, otherwise, even a thousand taels cannot buy you a night with her.

As he spoke, He Jinchun frowned and said, "It's strange to say, there was no Tianxiang Tower in our Jingxuzhou before, but in the past two years, Tianxiang Tower has become famous because of Fengying.

Even our Xuzhou governor Cao Peng, when he went to Tianxiang Tower to have a few drinks, he behaved properly and did not dare to cause trouble.

The only people in Tianxiang Tower who are not clear about their background are the madam and Fengying. I have just discussed this matter with your father in detail. I am afraid that the people behind Tianxiang Tower are either high-ranking officials in the capital or princes and nobles."
