The county horse is a medicine jar

On the official road leading from Luzhou to the capital, a carriage passed by in a hurry, behind the hanging dark blue curtain, Lin Sishen sat cross-legged in it.

Today is already the third day since Lin Sishen escaped from Longyou. After staying in Luzhou for a day, she didn't rush back to the capital, but stayed alone in the inn for another two days.It wasn't until the bodies of Luo Xing and others were buried that she hired a carriage to drive back to the capital.

Yan Zhi and the blind monk left quietly after she arrived in Luzhou safely without leaving a word.

Lin Sishen didn't delve into whether they were following him in secret, or if escorting her out of Longyou was like a princess' assignment and went elsewhere.

On the way back to the capital, she had no one to accompany her, and it was rare that she was a little clean, but the more clean she was, the more she would think of Rouge's whispers in her ears on the way to escape that day.

Yan Zhi's words were like pulling out the cocoon, trying to force out the evil thoughts hidden deep in Lin Sishen's heart, and spread it out in front of her, so that she could see it clearly.

She sat cross-legged in the carriage, and in her clenched palms lay the prayer beads that Luo Xing gave her before he died.She was clutching the string of Buddhist beads, her eyes were tightly closed and her brows were furrowed. It was clear that the weather was cool in autumn, but a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on her pale face.

Although she escaped from Longyou without any danger this time, she felt as if she had lost her soul in her heart. There was no joy of escaping, but only guilt and resignation.

For a long time, no matter how Lin Sishen tried his best, the only thing she wanted was to keep her family and friends safe and sound. For this reason, she had done a lot of bad things in private.

But she never regretted it, nor doubted herself.

Until Luo Xing went to die for her this time, although she was extremely reluctant, she still breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.As Yan Zhi said, she had indeed made a plan in her heart from the very beginning, when she knew that Sun Wenqian was leading his troops to chase after her, to throw out Luo Xing and all the men in exchange for her own way of life.

Luo Xing has been in Luowang for six years, and has always been loyal to Lin Sishen, no matter whether she reveals her heart or not, Luo Xing definitely has no doubt that he is willing to die for her.

But the more she knew that Luo Xing was loyal to her, the more she became bored with herself.

Besides, she clearly knows that Luo Xing has nostalgia, and Liu Yi, who is in love with him, is still waiting in the capital.But at that time, she didn't think about finding another way, but she had already made a decision in her heart, choosing the safest way to protect herself.

If it wasn't for Yan Zhi's intentional reminder, maybe Lin Sishen would not have thought about it, maybe she would only regret and feel guilty, secretly determined to get rid of Sun Wenqian, and avenge those brothers who died for her.

But Rouge reminded her, and pulled out the selfishness and hypocrisy in the darkest corner of her heart, so that she couldn't ignore it and could only face it head-on.

Today she was able to push Luo Xing and those subordinates into the gate of hell for her own sake, but if she were to be someone else another day, would she make the same choice?

Lin Sishen didn't have an answer in her heart, she vaguely felt that she seemed to have walked into a dead end, and she couldn't get out of it after going round and round.

-------------------------------------

After several days of driving, the capital was finally within reach. After handing over the documents and entering the capital, Lin Sishen returned to the General's Mansion with a heavy heart and a dazed expression.

Maybe it was because she was so tired that she didn't notice when she came back. The guard in front of the door looked at her with a bit of meaning in her eyes.

After stepping into the lobby, the old lady and Liu Qingyun who had received the news rushed over and asked her, wiping her tears.

Lin Sishen looked sullen, and after a few perfunctory words, he said that he was tired and wanted to go back to rest.

According to the old lady's temperament, if she had heard Lin Sishen say that she was tired and wanted to rest in the past, she would have driven her back long ago.But this time, after she calmed down a bit, she sent all the maidservants away, leaving only Liu Qingyun, saying that she had something to ask Lin Sishen, and wanted her to go to the Buddhist hall first.

Lin Sishen didn't know why, so he took the old lady's hand and shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, grandson is really tired, let grandson go back to Liuguang Pavilion to rest first. If there is anything important, I will wait for grandson." Let’s talk after you’ve cleared your mind.”

Liu Qingyun stood aside, with a strange expression on her face. She glanced at the old lady, and secretly winked at Lin Sishen: "Shen'er, your grandmother has something urgent to tell you, so don't worry."

It was only then that Lin Sishen realized something was wrong, she narrowed her eyes, nodded, obediently followed the old lady and Liu Qingyun, and went to the small Buddhist hall where the old lady usually cultivated herself.

As soon as he entered the Buddhist hall, Liu Qingyun looked around, closed the door, and walked to Lin Sishen's side with a serious expression.

The two stood beside Lin Sishen, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at her with strange eyes.

Lin Sishen looked at the two of them back and forth, and couldn't help asking: "Grandmother, what do you want to tell me?"

The old lady sighed faintly, and stuck out her cane, her wrinkled face showed no joy or anger, she said cruelly: "Shen'er, first go and kneel in front of Goddess Guanyin."

When the old lady said this, Lin Sishen was even more confused, she glanced at Liu Qingyun: "Mother?"

Liu Qingyun shook her head at her, and said with some hesitation: "Don't ask in a hurry, grandma tells you to kneel down, so you should kneel obediently first."

Lin Sishen had no choice but to walk up to the futon, kneel down straight with his legs bent.But because her body was really weak, she didn't kneel firmly, and her body swayed a few times.

The old lady couldn't bear it when she saw this, but she still gritted her teeth and yelled tremblingly: "You said you, why are you so confused, and did such a wrong thing, how long do you think you can hide it?"

Lin Sishen's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, he pursed his lips and lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Grandma, grandson just came back, I don't know what he did to annoy grandma."

The old lady shook her head with a complicated expression, then turned to look at Liu Qingyun: "Qingyun, since she doesn't know what wrong she has done, then come and tell her."

After finishing speaking, the old lady was so angry and couldn't bear it, she simply turned her back to Lin Sishen and let out a long sigh.

Liu Qingyun leaned over to Lin Sishen, pressed her shoulder and gave her another wink, reprimanded: "You, you, what did you do to the maidservant Pearl next to grandmother, don't you know in your heart? Grandma is quite old, and you insist on her saying it in front of your face?"

pearl?

As soon as the pearl was mentioned, Lin Sishen naturally remembered it. She raised her eyes to look at Liu Qingyun, and silently opened her mouth.

Liu Qingyun naturally knew what Lin Sishen was going to say. If others didn't know, how could she not know that Lin Sishen was a daughter, how could she get Zhenzhu to conceive.

But in the two days before Lin Sishen's return, the General's Mansion was in a state of turmoil over the matter of Pearl.

Coincidentally, the day before yesterday, Zhuzhu fell in the Buddhist hall and held her stomach and screamed for pain. After the old lady invited the doctor to check her pulse, she found that Zhuzhu was pregnant.

It is taboo for maidservants in the mansion to get pregnant before marriage, the old lady was furious, and immediately asked Pearl who she had had an affair with and became pregnant, but Pearl refused to say anything, and she wiped her tears and wanted to hang herself when she was forced.

It was not easy to be persuaded to come down, and under the coaxing and persuasion of the old lady, she reluctantly told the truth, and immediately said that the child she was pregnant with belonged to Lin Sishen.

The old lady was shocked and angry when she heard the words, she almost couldn't hold back and passed out.However, she was not ignorant, and she had some doubts in her heart that Pearl made it up in order not to be kicked out of the general's mansion.After questioning for a while, Zhuzhu insisted that Lin Sishen was the biological father of the unborn child.

As a last resort, the old lady had no choice but to call Lin Zheng and Liu Qingyun to tell them the matter.

Lin Ying was so angry after knowing this, if Lin Sishen was not still in Longyou, he might have brought Lin Sishen here to beat him up.

Liu Qingyun naturally knew that Pearl was slandering Lin Sishen, but she really had a hard time, no matter how much she spoke for Lin Sishen, Lin Ying would not believe it.

Before Lin Sishen got married, his reputation in the capital could be described as notorious. This time, Lin Zheng, who had always had a grudge against the maid in the house, believed it naturally.

Lin Ying said that he thought that after Lin Sishen got married, he would reform under the discipline of the princess, but he didn't expect that she still loves flirting in her bones, and this time she dared to have sex with the maid beside her in front of the old lady. Don't wait for such things.

Liu Qingyun persuaded her back and forth, saying that no matter what, she couldn't listen to Pearl's side of things, and she had to wait for Lin Sishen to come back and explain clearly, so Lin Ying was reluctantly appeased.

Because of this matter, Liu Qingyun had a lot of headaches in the past two days. She went to find Zhuzhu a few times in private, trying to get out of Zhuzhu's mouth, but Zhuzhu's mouth was so tight that no matter what she said, she would kill the fetus in her womb. Lin Sishen's.

Liu Qingyun had no choice but to wait for Lin Sishen to come back and explain clearly.

Seeing that Lin Sishen understood, Liu Qingyun touched her pale and thin cheeks, and said softly: "Fortunately, your father left the city yesterday on business and will not be back until tomorrow. If he is here today, you may have to take off a layer of skin."

Lin Sishen nodded, "Where is the pearl?"

Before Liu Qingyun could speak, the old lady turned her head around and sighed mournfully: "I fell down the day before yesterday, and now I'm in the side yard raising the baby."

Lin Sishen turned his head and looked at the old lady pitifully: "Grandmother, although grandson doesn't know who the real father of the child in Pearl's womb is, it is definitely not grandson's."

The old lady frowned when she heard the words: "But Zhuzhu said that the baby in her womb is yours, and she even made it clear when. Do you remember that you were recuperating in the old yard after you came back from Anqing? Didn't she take care of you? How many days? Don't be so confused that you even forget what you have done."

Liu Qingyun hastily stepped forward to support the old lady, and spoke for Lin Sishen: "Mother, Shen'er was still recuperating at that time. She just came back from the battlefield and was covered in wounds. How can there be... idle time to do that?" From my point of view, it must be that Pearl had an affair with the guard in the mansion and poured the dirty water on Shen'er."

At this time, the old lady didn't know whether she should trust Lin Sishen, one was the good grandson she held in her palm, and the other was the girl who had been by her side for many years, who was always smart and never lied.

She waved her hands with some headaches: "Only the two of you know about this matter, how can others explain it clearly. It just so happens that you are back, why don't you confront Pearl face to face and clarify this matter clearly."

After she finished speaking, she sighed again, and complained: "Originally, we should investigate and explain this matter behind closed doors, but you also know your father's temper. There was a commotion in the house yesterday, and even the Ninth Prince knew about it." It's all right, he led people to the mansion at night, and after making a fuss, he took the princess back to the mansion, and said that when you come back, he will ask you to go to the mansion to plead guilty immediately. This matter is uncertain now It all went to the emperor's ears."

Lin Sishen's expression changed when he heard the words, and he asked in surprise, "What? The princess has returned to the palace?"
