illegitimate child

When Song Ling came to the General's Mansion as the most unbearable illegitimate child, the young bird was fledgling, and his mother had already pushed him into the abyss, adding darkness to his body.He didn't learn to act coquettishly, he learned to read people's faces and think carefully about his words.

When I first came here, I didn't know the situation in the mansion, so all I could do was be cautious in my words and deeds, don't say a word, don't do a thing, and don't expect what I don't deserve.He also treats the servants in the mansion with more courtesy, and when he gets older, he will try to find out about the masters in the mansion, their likes and taboos.

Live carefully and step by step, these are things Luo Jinnian can't understand.

Not only did he know that the second aunt's family was in Qingyuzhuang, but he also knew that the second aunt was at odds with the family and had lost contact with the family since she got married.The second aunt also has a half-brother, Du Shaoshang, who was born to a concubine.

The second aunt's boudoir name is Du Chunxing, her mother is the daughter of an ordinary scholar, and her father was a general under General Luo.The second aunt's biological mother passed away when she was fourteen, and arranged for her to marry Luo Qingrong, the then second young master of the Luo Mansion, before she died.

Du Chunxing kept filial piety for her mother for three years, and married into the General's Mansion when she was 17 years old.But it is said that her younger brother was already two years old when she got married, which means that during the period of filial piety, Master Du had an affair with the concubine who was originally Mrs. Du's personal maid, and the child had a secret knot.

As soon as Du Chunxing got married, Master Du couldn't wait to raise the maid as a concubine. He couldn't wait for a while.I don't know if Mrs. Du will feel resentful if she knows it.

Song Ling guessed that it was these nasty things done by Mr. Du that made the second aunt break up with Du Fuen and never contact her again.

Besides, Du Shaoshang, since he is the son of Mr. Du, he naturally dotes on him in every possible way, and raised him into a useless person who only knows how to bully men and women. Many people have been killed in his hands these years.

But it's ordinary people and no one wants to care about him, so he can be alive and kicking until now. He got into trouble all the way, and Mr. Du followed him all the way to clean up the mess.

Looking at the two of them, those who know know that they are father and son, but those who don't know think they are grandsons and ancestors.

When he was twenty-five years old, he still hadn't settled on a marriage, so Master Du became anxious, and with a shy old face, he found a job for him to take care of the Nancheng armory of the guards.

Master Du originally thought that with an errand, Du Shaoshang would be able to calm down, so that he could talk about marriage in the future.But who would have thought that within a few days, Du Shaoshang would be mixed up with the veterans of the pro army, and Master Du couldn't restrain himself even more.

Du Shaoshang was hooked up by cronies, and fell into the bad habit of gambling. He lost most of his family's property in just half a year.For this matter, Mr. Du even went to the general's mansion, knelt on the ground and begged his daughter to give money to save her younger brother's life.

Because of this incident, the second aunt became seriously ill from anger.

Luo Jinnian knew nothing about these dirty things, he was well protected.

"The one who led us to Qingyuzhuang is uneasy and kind. This matter has nothing to do with the second aunt and the second aunt's family." If it is true what Zhang Chun said, Wang Orion killed the martial arts agent of the Luo Mansion to silence him, then his identity is not necessary. explain.It's not a Dirong man who escaped, and he has nothing to do with him.

And Wang Liehu has been hiding in Qingyuzhuang, making people have to wonder whether the owner of Qingyuzhuang has colluded with him.

Luo Jinnian knew this, but he immediately chose to trust his second aunt and her mother's family without any hesitation.

Just as everyone in the Luo Mansion loves Luo Jinnian unreservedly, so does Luo Jinnian.

His emotions amplified, as if he wanted to infect Song Ling and make him believe it.

Song Ling smiled and said, "I just want to remind you that I am worried that I will be rude to my second aunt's family in Zhuangzhong."

After a while, he added: "I'm afraid you don't know, the second aunt has lost contact with her mother's family long ago, even if there is a real problem in Qingyizhuang, it can't be related to the second aunt, so don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Song Ling passed Luo Jinnian and pushed the door out: "I'm going to find Tong Yu." It was an account of where he was going.

Luo Jinnian watched Song Ling's back disappear in the vast night, his lips moved, and he didn't say the sentence I'll accompany you.He didn't believe Song Ling, and he obviously had doubts about his second aunt, otherwise why would he point out that Qingyi Village is the second aunt's family home?

He couldn't trust his family wholeheartedly like himself, Luo Jinnian had a grudge after all.

Not long after Song Ling went out, he met Tong Yu who was rushing back. He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and walked to the side of the woods, and Tong Yu knew how to keep up.

If the master has something to do, he can't let the young master know.

In winter, the leaves on the trees had fallen completely, and there was a miserable moon hanging in the sky. The pale moonlight pierced through the ferocious branches and sprinkled on Song Ling's thin body, and the shadow was fixed on the frosty ground.

Tree shadows and human figures are interspersed with each other, shaped like thousands of arrows piercing the heart, which is indescribably paradoxical.

The first crow of a jackdaw.

Tong Yu's hair was not dry yet, and he couldn't help shivering when the cold wind blew.

"Send someone to watch Zhang Chun."

"Didn't the master just say that Zhang Chun was thrown out as a bait, deliberately used to disturb the sight? He also said that he was being used by others. Then he is just a useless move. Why waste manpower to stare at him?" Tong Yu asked puzzled. .He didn't have any objections to his master's decision, but the danger of this trip had already begun to be suspected.

He has only five people under his command, if one person is transferred away, he may not be able to protect his master.

Song Ling didn't seem to care about Tong Yu's doubts, "Tell it to Luo Jinnian, he is too stupid, knowing too much can easily make people see his flaws."

"No conclusion can be drawn directly on everything. Everything is changeable. Only by deducing every change can we be sure that nothing will go wrong."

"Because Zhang Chun is too deliberate, a smart person can see that he is a fake at a glance, so he dispels his suspicions about Zhang Chun, and turns to look at the misty Qingyuzhuang. Brightness turns dark, and Zhang Chun turns around smoothly. For dark chess."

"If we don't guard against him, the people behind the scenes can easily use the hidden ones to arrange calmly in the future. I will lose the initiative, lose the opportunity, and even fail to grasp the key to victory."

Seeing that Tong Yu had no more doubts, Song Ling continued, "Send someone back to the manor to fetch that thing." While speaking, he gestured in the air with his left hand.Tong Yu's pupils shrank, and he nodded for a while.

As the night got darker, Tong Yu worried: "Go back, master, Tian Han."

Song Ling merged into the darkness, and couldn't see his expression clearly, only a cold voice sounded, like ten thousand years of ice, "So I am the master."

Tong Yu trembled, his Adam's apple rolled, his eyelids closed tightly, and he drew out the dagger hanging from his waist.

Kneeling and half kneeling, the short knife is raised flat.

The snow-white blade passed through the upper layer of moonlight, like a layer of hoarfrost.

A hand three points whiter than snow took over the dagger, and ordered: "Open it."

Tong Yu's eyes widened suddenly, Song Ling was holding the blade to play with, his thumb was cut open inadvertently, he let the dark red blood slide down the blade without changing his face.

"Master, be careful not to hurt your hands." Tong Yu said with difficulty.

As soon as the words fell, a sharp pain came from the left shoulder, the skin surface was damaged, and the warm blood was about to rush out, but it was blocked by a knife blade, and only a little leaked out, staining the clothes on the shoulder red.

The side of the face was a little itchy.

Song Ling bowed his head and bowed his head, a strand of hair hanging on the side of Tong Yu's face, with one hand behind his back and the other holding the handle of the knife, he said softly, "What is the first rule of the blood blade?"

Tong Yu tremblingly said, "No question."

Song Ling let go of the handle of the knife, stood up and left, letting the blood drip from his fingertips onto the dead leaves.

Tick, tick.

Tong Yu knelt on the spot in a daze, he was wrong, very wrong.

Song Ling is not a young master, not a son, nor is he the friend he thinks he is passionate and whimsical.

is the master.

He never bestowed upon him a single ounce of friendship.
