After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 94: Still Waters Run Deep
All the masters and servants in the Moon-Showing Pavilion were startled. Even Lin Luoling was startled for a moment. It was not until Jiang Chi sat down in Zhu Xianzhi's seat that Lin Luoling came back to her senses.
Looking at Jiang Chi's expression, it seemed as if he was not the one who did what just happened.
Jiang Chi said disdainfully, "Why don't you take away the dirty food? Replace it with new food for this prince."
Lin Luoling hurriedly asked Biyou to go and see Zhu Xianzhi, who was lying motionless outside, for fear that Jiang Chi's men would lose their sense of propriety and throw Zhu Xianzhi to death outside the Moon Viewing Pavilion again.
Biyou checked Zhu Xianzhi's breathing, and Jiang Feng stepped forward to check Zhu Xianzhi's pulse.
The two came back one after another and reported to the masters: "He is not dead, he just fainted from the fall."
Jiang Chi waved his fan and said, "How can he die from a fall? Besides, I know how to control my strength. Let him faint and we can have dinner."
Lin Yuru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why did you throw him down for no reason? Well, since we've thrown him out and he's already unconscious, let's have dinner first. When he wakes up, we'll give him some porridge to calm him down."
It seems like a rebuke, but in fact it is an agreement with Jiang Chi's approach.
Lin Tingxu said expressionlessly: "Let's eat!"
Several maids carrying various dishes walked around Zhu Xianzhi and entered.
Lin Yuru personally invited the wife of Ningyuan Hou to come over.
Lady Ningyuan Hou glanced coldly at Zhu Xianzhi lying on the ground, and when she looked at Jiang Chi again, she mistakenly thought that Jiang Chi was interested in Lin Luoling, which made her angry. She smiled at Lin Yuru and did not blame Jiang Chi at all.
Everyone was talking and laughing. Lin Luoling turned her head and asked Jiang Chi in a low voice, "Did you knock him unconscious on purpose?"
Jiang Chi drank a glass of wine, and his eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, were tinged with a bit of charm and cunning.
He said: "Of course it was intentional. How could we chat and drink with him? Who of us sitting here can eat after seeing him? Rather than suffering, it is better to knock him out so that we can have some peace and quiet.
Don’t you think so, Sister Ling’er?
Hearing this, Lin Luoling couldn't help laughing, and then said with a look of disappointment, "When he wakes up later, he might make trouble with me."
Jiang Chi said with a firm voice, "He won't wake up in three to five hours. After we have enough food and drink, we can throw him on the carriage and send him back to the Yongning Marquis's residence. You don't have to say anything, just hand the document to the Yongning Marquis in person.
Yongning Hou would not even ask, he must have thought Zhu Xianzhi was drunk, and when Zhu Xianzhi woke up, he would be so excited to show off his achievements to Lan Wanshuang after getting two shops for free."
Lin Luoling moved closer to Jiang Chi and asked seriously, "I'm confused. How did you calculate so accurately? How did you know that Zhu Xianzhi would accompany me back to the Lin Mansion today?"
Jiang Chi put down his chopsticks, covered the lower half of his face with his fan, and said calmly, "I am the God of Literature from heaven, so I naturally know."
"People are asking you seriously, please don't joke." Lin Luoling poured a glass of wine for Jiang Chi.
Seeing this, Jiang Chi put down his fan and said with a smile: "Since Sister Ling'er treats me as her own brother and personally poured the wine, I will tell you the truth.
Because! The Second Prince was in urgent need of military rations. I saw Fengying from Tianxiang Tower go to the East Courtyard in the middle of the night. The study of Yongning Marquis was burned. Without the evidence of the Second Prince's crime in his hand, he naturally had to listen to the Second Prince and do things for him.
More than half of the military rations stored in Jingxuzhou have been misappropriated by Marquis Yongning. His Majesty has ordered my father to reorganize military affairs. I believe that the northern border will certainly not be stable when summer comes. If troops are sent to the northern border, food and fodder must be sent first. Jingxuzhou is closest to the capital, so naturally the military rations stored in Jingxuzhou must be used first.
When the time comes, the Grand Commandant will send grain escort officers to Xuzhou, the capital. How will the Marquis of Yongning justify the large amount of military rations he has embezzled?
Therefore, I guess that the Marquis of Yongning was already extremely anxious and had no time to care about Zhu Xianzhi's injury. The shop was not important to him. He was only thinking about taking Lin's food for free. That was the most important thing."
Lin Luoling suddenly realized: "So that's it."
Then Jiang Chi said, "Before summer comes, find a way to get out of Yongning Marquis's Mansion and divorce Zhu Xianzhi."
Lin Luoling knew that Jiang Chi was kindly reminding her, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, Young Master Jiang."
Jiang Chi frowned and snorted, "I have done so much for you, how can I not get you to call me brother?
You! Didn't you see that my mother is eager for you to marry me? I recognize you as my sister, and we are siblings for life. You have no feelings for me, and I have no feelings for you, so why should they tie us together in a wrong marriage? "
After hearing this, Lin Luoling looked at the expressions of Ningyuan Hou's wife and her parents. Just as Jiang Chi said, they were looking at her and Jiang Chi with deep and meaningful eyes.
She raised her cup to Jiang Chi and said, "Thank you, Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows and said, "Just call me brother, what's the use of calling me Brother Jiang? That's too much nonsense!"
Lin Luoling pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Lady Ningyuan Hou, who knew her son's character well, suddenly froze in her expression. She knew that her son had no interest in Lin Luoling, and secretly cursed Jiang Chi in her heart for being a fool. She was afraid that she would never find such a good girl again in the future.
Looking at Lin Luoling, she felt more and more reluctant to let go, as if she had gone through great pains to find a rare flower that was hard to come by in a century and wanted to give it to her son to take good care of, but her son did not know how to cherish it.
After the banquet, Jiang Chi asked Jiang Feng to send a few servants to carry Zhu Xianzhi to the vacant house in the front yard.
Then he found an excuse and invited Lin Tingxu, He Jinchun and Lin Luoling to Jinbi Huating alone to talk about Lan Wanyun.
After discussing for nearly half an hour and reaching a consensus, Lin Luoling prepared to leave the Lin Mansion with Biyou.
When they reached the gate of the Lin Mansion, Jiang Chi ran over and whispered in Lin Luoling's ear: "On the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival, think of a reason to come to Jingfu Temple. Something's going on!"
Before Lin Luoling could ask anything, Jiang Chi ran away.
Lin Luoling could only smile helplessly. After getting on the carriage, Jiang Feng disliked the dirty clothes on Zhu Xianzhi's body, so he found a carriage that had been idle for a long time in the mansion, asked the servant to stuff Zhu Xianzhi in it, and bowed and said:
"Farewell, young lady!"
Lin Luoling returned to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, took the fake market document and went straight to the East Courtyard, handed it to the Yongning Marquis, and said:
“When my husband accompanied me back to the Lin Mansion today, we happened to pass by these two shops. I thought they were good, so I asked my mother to buy them and use them to sell grain for my husband.
But my husband's left shoulder is injured, so I'd like to trouble my uncle to send someone to clean up these two shops."
Yongning Hou took the document and did not look at it carefully. He only saw the location of the two shops and said with a smile, "We are all family, so of course we should help each other."
Lin Luoling smiled calmly, thanked him, turned around, took the two brocade boxes prepared in advance from Biyou, held them in front of Yongning Hou with both hands and said:
"This is a pair of jade pendants that I gave to my uncle and aunt."
The material of this pair of jade pendants is excellent and the workmanship is exquisite. Marquis Yongning was very satisfied and never asked why Zhu Xianzhi did not come.
The wife of Marquis Yongning exchanged a few words with Lin Luoling, and then Lin Luoling said she was a little tired and went back to Shuxi Pavilion first.
For the next ten days or so, the Yongning Marquis Mansion was extremely quiet.
Marquis Yongning was busy with the affairs of the two shops.
Because Zhou Jiaoling's hand was burned, Zhu Jingzhong stayed in Lanxiangyuan every day, so the master and servants of Chunlanyuan stayed indoors and did not go out.
Lin Luoling ordered the maids to deliver dishes to Lanxiangyuan for three meals a day. Lin Luoling asked the cook to rearrange the leftover dishes from the maids and servants of Shuxi Pavilion and send them to Chunlanyuan.
Soon it was the Hundred Flowers Festival.
