illegitimate child

The next day.

After days of gloomy days, it finally cleared up. Song Ling took out the few rue plants in the study and put them in the small garden. After saying hello to the dumplings who were busy making breakfast, Song Ling prepared to go to pay his respects.

When they arrived at the old lady's place, several aunts had already arrived, and each of them was having a cup of tea, listening to the stories of the mansion's storyteller, and chuckled from time to time.

The rules in the General's Mansion are not as strict as elsewhere, there is no rule that boys are not allowed to enter the inner house at the age of seven, and there is no such thing as not talking too much when greeting.

The old lady likes to be lively, so her place is full of laughter and laughter all the year round.

According to her words, they are all a family, and if there are too many rules, it is inevitable that there will be divisions.

As soon as Song Ling came, the old lady and several aunts took turns teasing him about being favored by Liu Luo yesterday.

The whole room was full of elders, Song Ling had no choice but to let the elders make fun of him, he could neither escape with excuses nor speak out to explain.

However, in the few words of the elders, he grasped a bit of information keenly, Luo Jinnian knelt down on his knees when he came back yesterday, and he hasn't gotten up yet.He couldn't help feeling better.

After the aunts left with all their excitement, Song Ling resigned and went to Mr. Tian's place.

Tian's greeting time is very different from other aunts, it is not in the morning, but in the evening.According to what she said, she was sleepy in the morning and couldn't get up, but Song Ling knew her a little bit over the years.Mr. Tian probably felt that the sisters-in-law were noisy, so he deliberately staggered.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Tian's courtyard, he saw that it was not Zisu but Tian himself who was waiting. Song Ling was taken aback, and Mr. Why came out in person.

Before he stepped forward to salute, Tian's brows stood on end, and he preemptively shouted, "Song Ling, you know your mistake!"

The sound wave aroused the birds on the dead branches, flapping their wings non-stop, yesterday's residual snow fell from the dead branches, and the shoulders and clothes of the maidservants sweeping the floor were wet.

She kept her eyes on the nose, her nose and her heart, without raising her eyebrows, as if she didn't hear anything, and the movements of waving the broom in her hand became slower and slower.

Song Ling was panicked at first, he first thought of what happened yesterday, went to Fengxue Tower, met the oiran, came back late, which one offended Mr.

It was Luo Jinnian who forced him to go to Fengxuelou, seeing Liu Luo was a last resort because of his reputation, and returning home late was directly caused by Luo Jinnian, no matter what, it was Luo Jinnian's fault, not his fault.

Song Ling immediately realized that if the husband was really angry, he would not have fallen asleep peacefully last night, but knelt down in the ancestral hall with Luo Jinnian.The husband will not reprimand him in front of his servants, even if she gets angry again, she will only reprimand him in private, without hurting his face.

There must be a reason for this action, Song Ling had a flash of inspiration, and he made a deep bow, with a trembling voice: "Student knows his mistake, please calm down, sir, the anger is extremely hurtful." Anyone who looked at it looked like a pitiful person who was frightened and bewildered Bastard.

Tian's voice was cold, and his anger remained undiminished: "It's quick to admit your mistake, come in and tell me what's wrong."

Song Ling followed Tian's obediently, and as the two entered the courtyard, the courtyard door closed with a snap.

Several maids and women who passed by looked at each other like a secret sign, and when they finished their work, they gathered by a remote well.

"Second Young Master seems to have offended Madam."

"I knew that one day, the mistress wouldn't like an illegitimate child, she couldn't pretend anymore."

"The second young master, who has been dishonest for years, has ridden on the head of the serious young master, tsk tsk."

"What do you know, the mistress is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this is called flattery."

The maid sweeping snow under the dead tree is nowhere to be seen.

Tian led Song Ling directly into the inner room, and twisted the bronze horse on the bogu shelf.

"Crack."

Dust fell from the beams of the house, and a hidden door slowly opened.Tian looked back at Song Ling and signaled him to go in first.

Song Ling didn't hesitate, and didn't ask Tian why there was a secret door, and went directly into the inner room.

Inside the secret door was a secret room, with no oil lamp inside but soft white light. Song Ling looked up and saw that the top of the secret room was hollowed out, and a huge oriental bead was embedded inside, emitting infinite light.

Tian followed closely behind, and the secret door slowly closed again.

She wiped the dust off her hands, without raising her head, she said: "There are so many spies in this mansion, I have wronged you."

Sure enough, Song Ling secretly sighed, since the assassination of Huangjue Temple eight years ago, Mr. has started to investigate the details of the mansion, but now it seems that the results are not good.

Tian made a self-deprecating smile: "It's useless for me to claim that my family management methods are strict, but this huge general's mansion is still penetrated like a sieve."

Song Ling asked: "Sir, who are the spies?" Since Tian said so, there must be more than one or two spies.

"Di Rong, fierce, Xiangfu, all the senior officials." Speaking of this, Tian looked at Song Ling secretly, with dark and unpredictable eyes, and silently added in his heart, the palace.

She immediately looked away, and Zhizhu said as if she was holding her hand: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. They stare at the general's mansion, and the spies are like crucian carp crossing the river. They can't find them all. Let the mansion When things get messy, we can fish in troubled waters."

Song Ling understood Tian's thoughts in an instant, and said, "Spies with known identities can also use them to spread false news and confuse the enemy's sight." He unceremoniously called Xiangfu, Di Rong, and Jizhen as enemies.

"That's why the master just got angry at the gate of the courtyard to show to those who are interested. Now the master behind the spies will receive the news that the second young master of the Luo Mansion has offended the mistress, and the master has something to do for Ling?" No wonder he has always been in these years. I feel that the rules of the subordinates are not as good as before, so it is Tian's intention to do so.

Tian's smile froze on her face, and she seemed angry or annoyed, and she took a step forward, signaling Song Ling to bow her head, Song Ling didn't understand, and bowed her head obediently.

Tian reached out and pinched Song Ling's face, angrily said, "Don't be so smart next time!"

She had thought that a scolding at the gate of the courtyard would make Song Ling terrified, just to play off the prestige of her husband, but she didn't know that this student was not only not afraid, but guessed her plan pretty well.

Where is the prestige of the teacher!

Song Ling put his hands on his cheeks with a dazed look on his face. He felt that the husband was really angry this time.

It felt really good, Tian couldn't help but pinch the other cheek again, the redness on both sides was symmetrical, she nodded in satisfaction.

Song Ling's skin was thin and tender, and it turned red at the slightest touch. At this time, two balls of rouge were blooming on his face, which was really beautiful.

"Assassinated eight years ago, all the assassins were executed."

Tian let go of her hand and talked about the business, then she changed the topic, "But one person escaped, it was the leader of the assassins."

"He was able to launch such a large-scale assassination in the territory of the Li Dynasty, and his methods are far beyond ordinary people. His identity is not simple, and he may even be the wolf master of a certain department of Di Rong."

"In recent years, I have mobilized manpower to conduct unannounced investigations, but he is like a mud cow entering the sea without a trace."

"Until a few days ago, I received news that someone in Linghe Village, [-] miles southwest of the city, found traces of suspected Dirong people."

"The news is still uncertain. If it is really the escaped leader Di Rong, why he has left the city but is still lingering near the upper capital? He can go far away. This matter is full of doubts and dangers. I'm afraid something has happened."

"Ling'er, are you willing to go out and find out the truth?"
