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

Zhou Jiaoling stepped forward, picked up Zhu Qingyao and said, "This is your sister-in-law."

Zhu Qingyao was unusually obedient. After calling "sister-in-law" in a baby voice, she nestled in Zhou Jiaoling's arms.

In the previous life, when Lin Luoling first met Zhu Qingyao, he thought Zhu Qingyao was four or five years old. Later he found out that Zhu Qingyao was only seven years old.

After a few more contacts, Lin Luoling felt that Zhu Qingyao was not only much shorter than girls of the same age, but also too obedient. She would eat when she was told to eat and sleep when she was told to sleep. She usually liked to nestle in the arms of Zhou Jiaoling and Zhu Jingzhong.

In her previous life, she took over the power of managing the Yongning Marquis Mansion. The deficit was hard to make up, and the servants in the mansion were difficult to manage. She was so worried and stressed every day, so how could she have the time to think about Zhu Qingyao's affairs?

Seeing Zhu Qingyao again at this moment, Lin Luoling suddenly felt that something was really wrong.

Zhu Qingyao is a seven or eight-year-old girl. Even if Zhu Jingzhong is short, she shouldn't be so much shorter.

Moreover, Zhu Qingyao is too obedient, and doesn't look like a seven or eight-year-old child at all. Even if she is well disciplined, she should still be at the age where she loves to play and make noises.

Lan Wanshuang could secretly give Yongning Hou and Zhu Jingzhong the thunder god vine, and she looked down on and was so jealous of Zhou Jiaoling, so how could she not take action against Zhou Jiaoling?

Before, Lin Luoling thought that Zhou Jiaoling was most likely trying to protect her daughter Zhu Qingyao. She was openly at odds with Lan Wanshuang, but secretly followed Lan Wanshuang's instructions and gave Zhu Jingzhong thunder god vine.

In this way, Zhu Xianzhi will inherit the title of Marquis Yongning in the future, and Zhou Jiaoling and Zhu Qingyao will at least have a place to stay.

Lin Luoling suspected that Zhu Qingyao had been drugged. Lan Wanshuang had evidence against Zhu Qingyao's court physician. Even if Zhou Jiaoling had doubts, the court physician would lie to her after taking her pulse. Zhou Jiaoling would only think that Zhu Qingyao's short stature was due to her inheritance from Zhu Jingzhong.

She said apologetically, "I didn't know that Aunt Zhou had such a well-behaved daughter. I didn't bring any gifts for my sister. I hope Aunt Zhou will forgive me."

Changing the subject, Lin Luoling said with a smile, "If Aunt Zhou has nothing to do tomorrow, why don't you bring Sister Qingyao to my Shuxi Pavilion to sit and chat for a while?"

Lin Luoling knew that Zhou Jiaoling rarely left Lanxiang Courtyard, so she coaxed Zhu Qingyao and said, "Sister-in-law has a lot of interesting things. Qingyao, do you want to take a look? If you like them, sister-in-law will give them to you."

Zhu Qingyao nodded obediently and said, "Okay!" There was no joy in her eyes, as if she was used to being obedient.

Lin Luoling smiled and said, "Then it's settled."

Then he said to Zhou Jiaoling, "I will ask the cook to prepare cakes tomorrow. Aunt Zhou and Sister Qingyao can come anytime."

Zhou Jiaoling thought for a moment with a little concern before agreeing.

After chatting for a while, Lin Luoling saw Zhu Qingyao's eyelids were heavy and she kept yawning, so she said, "Sister Qingyao is sleepy, Aunt Zhou, please coax her to sleep first, I'll go back first."

Just before leaving, Maine came into the room carrying the brewed tea.

Why does it take so long to make tea? Lin Luoling couldn't help but look at Mei Yin deeply.

After such a while, Zhu Qingyao had fallen asleep. Zhou Jiaoling originally wanted to see Lin Luoling out of the yard, but was afraid that Zhu Qingyao would catch a cold, so after explaining, she asked Mei Yin to see Lin Luoling off.

Lin Luoling waved her hand and said, "We will definitely visit each other more often in the future. Why be so formal?"

After saying that, she and Biyou left Lanxiangyuan.

Biyou was holding up the glass lamp. Seeing Lin Luoling frowning, not knowing what she was thinking about, she supported Lin Luoling, fearing that Lin Luoling might accidentally sprain her ankle on the uneven stone path.

Lin Luoling thought to herself: If Zhou Jiaoling hadn't given Zhu Jingzhong the thunder god vine, then it must have been Mei Yin who did it.

There is only one maid named Mei Yin in Lanxiangyuan, and no other maids.

Thinking back, Mei Yin saw Rong Shuhua sneak out of the house in the middle of the night to meet Liu Bo, and even gave money to the servant who was guarding the back door.

If Mei Yin secretly followed Lan Wanshuang's instructions and gave Zhu Jingzhong thunder god vine and drugged Zhu Qingyao, and Rong Shuhua sneaked out of the house, there is no way Mei Yin would not tell Lan Wanshuang.

If Lan Wanshuang knew that Rong Shuhua had done such a shameful thing, how could she still let Rong Shuhua stay in Chunlanyuan?

This really doesn't make sense.

Before he could figure it out, he reached Shuxi Pavilion.

As soon as the gate closed, Lin Luoling whispered to Biyou, "Go keep an eye on Mei Yin."

"Mai Yin?" Biyou didn't know who she was.

"Madam Zhou's personal maid." Lin Luoling said.

Biyou suddenly realized, nodded and left.

Entering the backyard, Lin Luoling suddenly saw Chen Yin sitting under the apricot tree, looking up at the starry sky.

She smiled and said, "Sister Chen Yin hasn't slept yet? Where's Bi Zhi?"

Hearing the voice, Chen Yin came back to his senses, pulled Lin Luoling into the house, closed the door and said, "I asked Bizhi to keep an eye on Chunlan Courtyard. You are not familiar with that Aunt Zhou, so why did you take so long to come back? Did she make things difficult for you?"

Lin Luoling poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and explained Zhou Jiaoling's life story. A cold arc appeared on her lips, and she sighed, "How can someone with only beauty and figure become the most popular courtesan in a brothel? She must be a man of means.

But the prostitute is ruthless, and it is very difficult to warm her heart. Once warmed, using her to deal with Lan Wanshuang will be like the sharpest knife. "

Chen Yin raised an eyebrow and said without comment: "It is indeed a good knife."

Lin Luoling told Chen Yin that Zhu Qingyao was short and too obedient, and also told her about her suspicion of Mei Yin.

After listening to this, Chen Yin pondered for a while, and then he heard the noisy sounds of gongs and copper basins outside Shuxi Pavilion.

Several maids shouted: "There's a fire! There's a fire in the East Courtyard!"

Lin Luoling and Chen Yin were extremely shocked. How come there was also a fire in Yongning Marquis Mansion?

The two of them looked very different. Just as they were about to stand up, the back window was suddenly pushed open. Jiang Chi jumped in, closed the back window with his backhand, fanned himself and said, "There's a fire in the East Courtyard. Why are you two going to join in the fun?"

After saying this, Jiang Chi poured a cup of tea, sat down in a chair, and said bluntly: "The fire was set by this prince. Sister Ling'er, please inform your servants and ask them to close the doors and windows of Shuxi Pavilion and sleep peacefully."

Just then, a maid knocked on the door and asked Lin Luoling if they wanted to help put out the fire.

Lin Luoling followed Jiang Chi's instructions and told the maid, who responded and hurried off to pass on the message.

Chen Yin asked in bewilderment, "Young Master Jiang, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and running to the Yongning Marquis's mansion to set fire?"

Jiang Chi closed his fan and said proudly, "Marquis Yongning has had a personal relationship with the Second Prince for many years. He privately misappropriated military rations to give to the Second Prince's troops. He listed all the evidence and hid it in the study. This prince wanted to steal it, but he hired three secret guards to guard the study.

This prince decided to just go all out and burn down his study to be done with.”

After drinking a cup of tea, Jiang Chi said proudly, "Oh, by the way, the three secret guards raised by Yongning Marquis were knocked unconscious by this prince. When they put out the fire, the evidence hidden by Yongning Marquis will be burned to ashes, and the three secret guards will probably be burned to charred corpses.

If you saw it in the middle of the night, wouldn't you have a nightmare?"

Lin Luoling frowned and asked, "Why did you steal the evidence that Yongning Hou had hidden? And...did you set the fires in Qionglou Yuge and Tianxianglou? What about the fire in Prince An's Mansion?"
