Warm fragrance cloud around

Chapter 28 Follow-up

Leaving the hospital, the two stood side by side for a moment in the cool night breeze in late spring. Lin Junnuan asked in a low voice with his sleeves in his hands, "Will the Duke of Lu join you in a copy of your trespassing today?"

Cheng Jiangyun took two steps forward, seemingly inadvertently blocking the blowing wind, "Probably not, he would be disgraceful if things broke out."

"That's good." As for other things, they can't expect too much.

In the final analysis, what Duke Lu did was not considered outrageous in this era. Raising one or two boys to entertain the boredom would make it impossible to make a big fuss, but in private, nobles can even Treat it like an elegant conversation.

As for Mingyu's death, even if it wasn't a suicide, as long as Lu Guogong, who held the deed of prostitution, did not pursue it, the murderer would not have to be punished. When they confirmed Mingyu's identity, they had already made such psychological preparations.The purpose of Mingyu's suicide was nothing more than trying to exchange his own death for Feishuang's life. With the current ending, he should be able to rest in peace.

Lin Junnuan let out a long sigh: "This case... is it over?"

Cheng Jiangyun nodded silently. Judging from the attitude of Duke Lu today, he should try his best to disassociate himself from the case, and the arrested Da Da would probably not care about it.

"No, the corpse!" Lin Junnuan suddenly raised his voice, "Duke Lu cannot be allowed to take back Mingyu's corpse!"

Thinking of Duke Lu's ferocious face due to anger today, Lin Junnuan could almost foresee what would happen if Mingyu's body fell into his hands.

Cheng Jiangyun paused for a moment, looked at her gently, and nodded slowly.

So, that night, a strange fire suddenly broke out in Dali Temple, which did not cause any major losses, but burned an unknown male corpse with a disfigured appearance in the morgue.

The next day, a man dressed as a businessman came to Dali Temple with Mingyu's deed of sale, saying that Mingyu was his family's slave. He tried to retrieve the body, but was told that the body had been completely destroyed. Going back dejectedly with a few pieces of black charcoal that could not be seen.

The corpses are gone, so there is no need to investigate the case again. The imprisoned Ma Da spent the night with cockroaches and mice in the cell, and was released the next day. people care.

And Lu Guogong himself, of course, did not come to Dali Temple to return Feishuang with the deed of prostitution.Not to mention that he didn't have a contract of selling himself, even if he did, he wouldn't want to confront the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for such a "trick" who didn't know how long he would be able to entertain him.

The case was thus settled.

Five days later, Feishuang finally got the approval of old doctor Feng to go out. Lin Junnuan took him to a new grave in the suburbs of Beijing. Cheng Jiangyun was not with him this time.

"Brother Mingyu... is it in here?" Feishuang's eyes were already blurred with tears.

Lin Junnuan didn't answer, but just patted the back of his neck lightly.

The tomb is located in a hidden corner of a small forest on the outskirts of Beijing. There is no monument, because it is a new tomb, so it looks very lonely.

Feishuang's small body was lying in front of the grave, sobbing softly at first, and then began to cry deeply.Lin Junnuan squatted beside him, stroking his back from time to time, but couldn't say any comforting words.

The young man cried bitterly for more than half an hour before his voice slowly lowered. He wiped his eyes with his muddy hands, turned around and kowtowed firmly to Lin Junnuan twice.

Lin Junnuan quickly helped him up, and suddenly found that the young man seemed to be much heavier than before, and his complexion was no longer the weak paleness before, but a healthy pink was slightly revealed in the whiteness. The medical center recuperated well, and of course, she also asked someone to bring him food.

"Feishuang, what are your plans for the future?" Lin Junnuan looked at the young man who was a head shorter than her seriously.

Feishuang raised her head and took a quick glance at her: her voice was a little cautious: "Brother Lin is so kind, Feishuang can't repay her. From now on, Feishuang's life will belong to Brother Lin, and he can be ordered by him."

"Cheng Shaoqing also helped you a lot, so how do you thank him?" Lin Junnuan jokingly smiled, "Let's not talk about anything else, he sent people to repair this grave, and your brother Mingyu's body is also his Saved."

Feishuang's immature face showed obvious panic, and hurriedly said: "I, I also let Cheng Shaoqing order..."

Lin Junnuan rubbed his face: "We are all your brother's friends, and it is because of him that we help you, and you don't need to repay."

"You live well, that's the best reward, you know?"

Regarding how to settle Feishuang, she and Cheng Jiangyun had also seriously discussed before, but neither Chengyi Bo's Mansion nor Jianyuanhou Mansion could be regarded as a good place for Feishuang to live in peace of mind. In the end, her plan was to move Feishuang Shuang entrusts Aunt Xiao and Ahua to take care of her.

"Brother Lin...do you also think that Feishuang is a burden, and you are unwilling to accept Feishuang?" Feishuang asked timidly while pinching his sleeves.

"Of course not," Lin Junnuan quickly shook his head in denial, but his tone was unknowingly stern: "But Feishuang, you must know that the reason why your brother went to great lengths to arrange for us to rescue you is to hope that you can do whatever you want. to live for oneself rather than to be another's vassal."

Feishuang seemed to understand, her muddy face was full of uneasiness, her dark eyes stared blankly at her, Lin Junnuan had to sigh, and her voice softened.

"Fei Shuang, you can read, what books have you read?"

"Literacy, I have read "Thousand Characters", "Children's Learning Qionglin", "Enlightenment of Rhythm", "Feishuang seemed to be interested in reading, and his eyes lit up, "My brother also taught me a little bit of "University" and "The Analects of Confucius", after that..."

Thinking of her dead brother, Feishuang's eyes began to overflow with tears again, but this time she restrained herself a lot more than before, she choked up for a while and then cheered up again.

"Grandpa doesn't like us reading, my brother can only teach me secretly, so that I have to pretend I can't read on weekdays, but Feishuang doesn't want to lie to Brother Lin."

Lin Junnuan nodded, it turns out that this is a good seedling who loves to read, "Do you want to continue studying?"

"Is it possible? Can I really continue to study?" Feishuang's eyes could not hide the expectation.

"Of course," Lin Junnuan blinked at him, "Your brother left you a lot of money, not to mention studying, you can buy a house or land."

The banknotes in Mingyu's purse totaled 3000 taels, and after being kept in Cheng Jiangyun's hands for a few days, they were finally handed over to Lin Junnuan and asked her to hand them over to Feishuang.But Feishuang is now lonely and helpless, and he can't keep the money in his hands. Lin Junnuan thought about saving it for him first, and then handing it over to him when he is a few years older and can start his own business.

That's how things settled down.Afterwards, Cheng Jiangyun took care of things and put Feishuang's household registration on Ahua's account for the time being, officially settling down.Aunt Xiao loves this helpless young man very much, and he is gentle and courteous, making others hurt. Within a few days, Feishuang's status in the family has almost surpassed that of Ahua.

Lin Junnuan helped him find a few gentlemen with good reputation among the people to come to teach him. Hearing the gentlemen's unanimous praise of Feishuang's intelligence, Lin Junnuan suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction in cultivating potential stocks.

"Chuntao, what happened to Miss these days, why didn't you go out?" Xia He stood at the door of the room, whispering to Chuntao with a puzzled expression.

Chuntao glanced at her expressionlessly: "Don't talk too much about the master's business."

At this time, Lin Junnuan was leaning on the soft couch by the window, looking boredly at the peach tree in the yard that was beginning to bear fruit, sighed from time to time, turned over and adjusted his posture and continued to lie down.

Today is another day of doing nothing.

It was already summer, and the air began to feel sultry, and the annoying buzzing of mosquitoes could be heard from time to time. She couldn't bear it any longer, and put her hands together to kill a mosquito that had been flying around in front of her. Another slap was slapped hard on the low table.

"Hmph, man! Turning faces is faster than turning pages!"

There was no one else besides Cheng Shaoqing who made her so indignant.

A few days ago, after finishing Mingyu's case and settling Feishuang, Cheng Jiangyun's attitude was clearly quite gentle. Even when she mentioned that she wanted to formally enter Dali Temple as an errand, Cheng Shaoqing did not refuse, but seemed to be actively promoting it.

But a few days ago, everything suddenly changed.For no reason, Cheng Jiangyun seemed to be a completely different person. She was not allowed to enter Dali Temple, and she did not want to see her again. Lin Junnuan waited in front of the Dali Temple for a whole day, but he never showed up, and asked about other things in Dali Temple. People also all reasoned that Shaoqing had orders, but they had nothing to say.

Could it be that she did something unintentionally to make this young lady angry?Even so, at least give her a chance to explain!

Lin Junnuan was completely at a loss, and the stubbornness in her temper also came up. If you don't see it, you won't see it. She doesn't care at all!She still has money to earn, wine to drink, food to eat, and she lives a splendid life, and she doesn't want to waste her time trying to solve the case in Dali Temple!

But after a few days of doing nothing like this, she suddenly felt a kind of emptiness from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't get excited no matter what she did.

Has Dali Temple encountered any interesting cases these days? Is Cheng Shaoqing overwhelmed again? Will he regret rejecting her when he can't find a clue...Lin Junnuan has countless kinds of Cheng Jiangyun in his mind Turning his head to apologize to her and begging for her forgiveness, he snorted coldly, and suddenly got up and jumped down.

"Hmph, Miss Ben will give you a chance to apologize!"

Lin Junnuan changed into men's clothes, got into an ordinary-looking carriage, and walked out of Chengyibo's mansion in a flash, aiming directly at... Lu Taishi's mansion.

She also wants to save face, it is impossible to go directly to Cheng Jiangyun himself, it is no problem to turn a curved line to save the country.

When they arrived at Lu Taishi's mansion, Lin Junnuan reported Lin Jun's name and asked to see Lu Pengzhi. Not long after, Mr. Lu, who was a little rounder than a few days ago, left the door cheerfully.

"Brother Lin is here, you rare visitor!"

Lin Junnuan didn't greet him politely, and straight to the point asked him to drink, and invited Cheng Shaoqing by the way.

Lu Pengzhi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "To be honest, my cousin is not in Beijing these days, so he won't be able to drink this wine."

"Not in Beijing?" Lin Junnuan frowned, "He took an errand to another place?"

"No." Lu Pengzhi's face was also a little gloomy. "I don't know the specific situation. I heard from my grandfather that my cousin is meditating in Minzhong Temple these days. Please don't bother him if I have nothing to do."

Minzhong Temple retreat?Lin Junnuan was in a daze. Could it be that Cheng Shaoqing had seen through the world of mortals and planned to become a monk? !
