Lin Zhi had met Jiang Xian in Changliu Village before, and knew that he and Jiang Chuting were friends, and his father was still an official in the court, so he came to Jincheng to look for him from the very beginning.

But Jiang Xian was not in the mansion at all. I heard people say that this young master likes to wander outside, and it is common for him not to come home for a year or so. In the end, Lin Zhi left disappointed, but he still sent people to keep an eye on the man. side.

It was just that the news passed to him later was that Jiang Xian had returned to Jincheng, but he ate, drank and had fun all day long, teasing cats and dogs, and having a lot of friends, but Jiang Chuting never appeared at all, and he never traveled far to meet anyone.

When Lin Zhi thought that Jiang Chuting was trying to completely cut off any possibility with him, not only did he not go home, but also avoided seeing his friends, he felt like a knife was piercing his heart, and he was so sad that he couldn't breathe.

This time when he came to Jincheng, Lin Zhizheng was reminded by Zhao Chengyang to find someone to inquire about news in the palace that he had completely ignored.Even if the possibility is not great, he does not want to give up.

However, after half a month of searching, all the people who could be found were found, and the tone was surprisingly consistent. The person Lin Zhi described did not appear in the palace.

Even though he didn't have any hope at first, Lin Zhi was still overwhelmed by that kind of huge disappointment and depression, and Zhao Chengyang didn't know how to persuade him every day when he was out of his mind.

One evening, in front of a restaurant, Lin Zhi blocked Jiang Xian who was walking out staggeringly with a jug in his hand.

"Brother Jiang."

Jiang Xian squinted his eyes, looked at him calmly, curled up the corner of his mouth and smiled, and said, "Rare customers, rare customers, I don't know why Young Master Lin is looking for me?"

Lin Zhi didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, looking at him eagerly: "I don't know if Brother Jiang knows the whereabouts of Chuting? I want to find him."

"Chu Ting... I have met him before." Looking at Lin Zhi's excited eyes, Jiang Xian said unhurriedly: "But that happened several months ago, he said he wanted to Go around and relax, and you won't contact me for at least two years. So, if you ask me, I don't know."

Lin Zhi didn't want to believe it, so he asked stubbornly, "You really don't know? You are his good friend, why didn't he tell you?"

"A friend is just a friend. He is free to go wherever he wants, and I don't interfere. Besides, Young Master Lin sent someone to watch me before. You don't know if what I said is true or not?"

Lin Zhi was pointed out by him face to face, his five fingers tightened a little, and he said to him: "Sorry, I just want to find him quickly."

Jiang Xian smiled, and the smile was obviously not very friendly: "Interesting, Young Master Lin doesn't stay at home to spoil his wife, why do you want him? I'm not afraid that your wife will get angry and ignore you if she finds out?"

Lin Zhi quickly denied: "I didn't! I wasn't married at all! It was my mother, she..."

Jiang Xian waved his hand, the curved corners of his mouth slowly fell, his voice sank slightly: "Don't tell me these things, it's useless to tell me, and I won't listen. Anyway, what have you done and said about yourself? I know in my heart that even if you regret it now and search all over the world to find him, he will never look back at you. Chuting is such a decisive person. You have to bear it yourself and bear it yourself. It is best not to disturb his cleanliness , live a good life with your most beloved and trusted mother in the future."

After being ridiculed by him, Lin Zhi's face became paler and his lips trembled slightly: "I already know that I was wrong. I will not give up. I will definitely find him, treat him well, and always believe in him."

Jiang Xian nodded and said, "It's good to be young, and you can still dream."

Knowing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Lin Zhi took a light breath, clasped his fists and said to Jiang Xian, "Excuse me, excuse me."

He turned to leave, Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows, raised his voice and said to his back: "I hate sneaky people the most, remove all your eyeliner, otherwise, I will solve it myself."

If Lin Zhi is like this again, even if he doesn't do it, someone will naturally do it.

Someone was keeping an eye on his whereabouts. Every time Jiang Xian went to Changning Pavilion to find Jiang Chuting, it was a lot of trouble, and he asked other friends to help cover him before he slipped away.However, he never told Jiang Chuting about this.

Regardless of whether Lin Zhi really regretted it or not, he didn't want Jiang Chuting to have anything to do with the Lin family again.

Feelings are on the one hand, on the other hand, since Chuting was pregnant, he knew what a deep hole the Lin family is, and it will be a matter of time before they are uprooted. It is better for Chuting to stay away from them, so as not to be affected.

In the restaurant, Lin Zhizhi was in a daze with a blank face, Zhao Chengyang put some vegetables into the bowl in front of him, and persuaded him: "Eat something, you have lost a lot of weight during this time. You need to be patient when looking for someone, don't be too anxious , eat more to have the strength to continue searching."

Lin Zhi lowered his head, took a sip from his wine glass, and suddenly said in a low voice, "I always feel that something is wrong."

Zhao Chengyang froze for a moment, and said, "What's wrong?"

"It seems that someone is misleading me with fake news and killing my energy."

In the past six months, Lin Zhi sent people to search every corner, and many people provided clues, all of them had their noses and eyes, but in the end, they didn't even see a single hair of Jiang Chuting.

"...Could it be that your mother did it?" After all, he even found someone to pretend that he was married and made Li Ruoshuang fake pregnancy. It's not uncommon to stop him from investigating.

Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment before shaking his head: "I don't know." Maybe it was his mother, maybe not all of them, but in short, he felt a force hindering him,

Or... is this God's punishment for him?

Zhao Chengyang patted him on the shoulder and said: "I have something at home, I have to go back tomorrow. Take care of yourself, don't exhaust yourself before you find someone. Ah, yes, I heard that tomorrow night There is a lantern festival in Jincheng, don't be bored all by yourself, you can go for a walk and relax."

The next day, Zhao Chengyang left. Lin Zhi wandered aimlessly on the long street for most of the day. Isolated in a void, he can only hear his own breathing and slow heartbeat, and the turmoil of the whole world has nothing to do with him.

After an unknown amount of time, an uncertain voice came from behind: "Lin, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Zhi's originally sluggish eyeballs moved, and he turned his head. It was a handsome young man in coarse clothes, holding a several-month-old child in his arms.The shape of the child's mouth looks a bit problematic, but his eyes are dark and energetic.

"...It's you." Lin Zhi's voice was slightly hoarse.

Lin Zhi recognized this person and still remembered that his name was Shaojun.Because he was someone he knew when he was with Jiang Chuting, when he saw him, Lin Zhi's mood miraculously eased, and he asked, "How is it, have you found your sister?"

Shaojun smiled and said, "It didn't take long to find it, and now we live together, thank you Mr. Lin for your concern."

Lin Zhi nodded: "That's good." He took it for granted that the child belonged to his sister.He caught a glimpse of the child's right hand covered with a glove. Although he felt a little strange, he didn't intend to ask. Shaojun shook the child's little hand and explained to him calmly: "When the child was born, there was something wrong with the hand. I was afraid to scare others. , so do it."

Lin Zhi didn't say much, took off the purse on his body, and gave it to him directly: "This is a gift for the child."

Shaojun's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly refused: "No, no, Mr. Lin, you are too polite, you really don't need it!"

"Take it, a little thought."

Shaojun was not good at dealing with these things in the first place, but he couldn't refuse in the end, so he had to accept it with a blushing face and embarrassment.The weight of the purse reminded him that this was definitely not just a "little" thought.

Shaojun didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he just said sincerely: "You and Hero Chu are both good people, and you helped me too much. Before I recuperated, he also helped me take care of the children, and gave me money ..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhi grabbed his arm with both hands, his eyes full of hope, and asked excitedly: "Have you seen him? When and where??"

When we met before, there were no children around Shaojun at all, since Jiang Chuting was said to help take care of the children, it must have been after he left the Lin residence.

The child in his arms was frightened by Lin Zhi's sudden increase in volume, and burst into tears. Shaojun was also a little shocked, and hurriedly patted the child, while answering him: "See, I've met, we've been together for a long time But I don't know where he is now, we have been separated for almost four months."

I have seen it again, but I don’t know it.Lin Zhi's bright black eyes dimmed again, and his body seemed to lose strength in an instant.

Shaojun could sense that there must be something wrong with the two of them, but as an outsider, he didn't know what to say. After thinking for a moment, he asked cautiously, "Mr. Lin, are you looking for him?"

Lin Zhi nodded slightly, and Shaojun sighed softly: "Then you have found the wrong place. I remember he said at that time that it was really inconvenient to come to Jincheng, so he didn't send me off."

Lin Zhi said shyly, "Did he say that?" His heart was full of pain, and he really felt Chuting's determination to avoid him again.

"Well, although I don't know where he went, he did go in the opposite direction of Jincheng."

Lin Zhi stood stiffly and silently for a while, without looking at Shaojun again, and murmured: "Thank you, farewell." Then he turned around and left like a wandering soul.

Shaojun hugged the child who had been coaxed, and watched him slowly go away, feeling a little complicated.

Changning Xuan.

Jiang Chuting sat in the room wiping his sword.Because of his physical inconvenience, he hasn't practiced swords for a long time, but he still takes out his swords to clean them from time to time.The sword he uses is the most common sword, with a gray-blue sword tassel attached to it.Lin Zhi also had the exact same one as a gift from him. Lin Zhi couldn't put it down at the time, he was so precious.

Jiang Chuting stroked the sword tassel lightly with his fingers, stared at it for a while, and slowly took it off.

"I'm cleaning the sword again. What's the use of cleaning a broken sword? I'll take you to a good place in the future, and you can choose famous swords."

When Pei Jing's voice sounded, Jiang Chuting stuffed Jiansui into his bosom, put the sword into the scabbard, and put it on the table.

Jiang Chuting looked at the already dark sky outside, felt a little strange, and asked the person approaching with strides: "Why did you come here at this hour?"

He wants to come, usually in the afternoon.

"Take you out to play at night." Pei Jing pulled the stool closer, sat next to him, hugged his arm and rubbed it affectionately, looking up at him with a sweet look: "Today there is a lantern festival." , I have already arranged the place, it will not tire you, nor will it crowd you."

Jiang Chuting discovered that he didn't wear a hair crown today, but a headband.It was the light blue hairband that he asked for when he was in Jiuchongtian before. He was wearing a light-colored brocade uniform, and he should be in a good mood. The eyebrows and eyes are curved, and the contours of the face look much softer. It looks more like He is a handsome and well-behaved noble boy.

Although I know that Pei Jing like this is just an illusion, it's easier to get along with than when the weather is uncertain.

There is absolutely no need to refuse to anger him, so Jiang Chuting agreed without thinking too much, and said with a light smile, "Okay, I'll join you in the fun."

Pei Jing was extremely obsessed with his gentle smile that was as clear as autumn water, and his heart felt as if something was scratching it, itching.

Stared at by his undisguised fiery eyes, Jiang Chuting didn't change his face, and asked in his usual tone: "Where's Wei Jia? Why didn't you bring him out?"

Wei Jia seems to have gotten used to life in the palace now. Although he still likes to quarrel with Pei Jing in private, miraculously, he has not caused any trouble in the palace. So far, he is safe and sound, and has grown a lot taller.In the palace, those who are of a lower rank than him have to call him Mr. Wei when they see him, and they live a very good life.

"I know you miss him, he also left the palace, but not with us." Pei Jing puffed up her face and stared at him dissatisfied: "Isn't it enough for you to have me?"

For some questions, Jiang Chuting chose to skip directly without answering, gently tore off the hand holding his arm, and said with a smile, "Wait a moment, I'll go and change this clothes."

When staying in the house, Jiang Chuting wore looser and more casual clothes.If you want to go out, you have to change a set.

"Go, I'll wait for you." Pei Jing smiled and watched him turn to the inner room. After a while, Mo Lin walked in and whispered a few words to him.

Pei Jing tapped the table with her slender fingers, raised her brows slightly, and the hostility in her eyes flashed, and the slightly softened temperament immediately became cold and sharp again.

He snorted coldly.

Mo Lin lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, that subordinate will wait later..."

Pei Jing just hummed, his eyes moved slightly, and he raised his hand to signal him to leave first, Jiang Chuting had already changed his clothes and came out.

Pei Jing put on a bright smiling face and greeted him: "It's about the same time, let's go now."
