Zhu Qing walked up to Chen's side, squatted down, put the dagger on Chen's chest, and said: "You have such a cruel heart, I don't know whether that heart is red or black." Staring at Chen Shi, the hatred in his eyes made Chen Shi startled, but the situation was not stronger than others, Chen Shi forced himself to ask: "Put down the knife, and speak up if you have something to say."
Zhu Qing looked at Chen's frightened pale face, and suddenly the corners of her mouth curled into a strange arc, and she murmured: "It's too cheap to kill you like this, I want you to taste mine." The tip ran across Chen's cheek, pointed directly at Lin Weiwan, and giggled: "Humanity says, like a mother, like a daughter, your heart is dark, and her heart is also black." She There was a moment of bewilderment in his eyes, but he became clear again in a moment, the tip of the knife slid across Lin Weiwan's cheek, leaving only a hideous streak of blood.
Lin Weiwan screamed and cried, Zhao Shi couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said: "Zhu Qing, she's just a child!" If Lin Jingqiang hadn't grabbed her, Zhao Shi would have stood up already.
Zhu Qing paused for a moment, glanced at Mrs. Zhao, her eyes flashed fiercely, and she said angrily, "Shut up!" She looked at Lin Yuanqing, as if she was looking at others through him, and suddenly covered her face She started to cry, "My poor Rui'er! Your bright future has been completely ruined by this bitch!" Her eyes were bloodshot, she stared fiercely at Chen Shi and said, "I want them to be buried with you!" Said Holding the knife, he stabbed towards Lin Yuanqing.
Lin Jing's eyes widened, and her fingers quickly tied a few knots. An invisible red line made Zhu Qing stagger, and the tip of the knife slid across the struggling Lin Yuanliang's arm, and the blood soaked Lin Yuanliang in an instant. sleeves.
Chen's eyes were shattered, the corners of her mouth were bitten bloody, but she didn't have any strength at all. Seeing her two sons and daughters injured, she felt heartache unbearably. She had the thought of killing Zhu Qing, so she just shouted: If you want to be killed, just come and find me, don't hurt them, they are innocent!"
Lin Jing held Zhao Shi tightly, not allowing her to move an inch. She looked at Zhu Qing with a cold face and said, "The way of heaven is reincarnated, and the retribution is not good. If you can accomplish this today, it is also destiny. , why do you hurt the innocent!" She glanced at Chen Shi, and said: "Brothers Yuan Liang and Yuan Qing have never offended you, and you owe karma to them if you hurt them!"
"Cause and effect?!" Zhu Qing sneered, "I have nothing now, so am I afraid of karma?!" There seemed to be a fire burning fast in her eyes, she looked at Chen with a blank expression, Seeing her distressed appearance, she suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, "Look, do you know it hurts too? Do you know that when my Jieer Ruier left, I was in a hundred times a thousand times more pain than you!" Zhu Qing broke her voice. The crying and shouting only made people feel sad and hopeless. She had blood on her hands, stroked Chen's cheek, and said softly: "It's okay, I will avenge them now." In the chest, there was no breath in an instant.
Everyone seemed to be stupefied by fright, only Lin Jiaquan looked on indifferently, there was no joy or sadness in his eyes, his eyes met, Zhu Qing walked up to Lin Jiaquan as if bewitched, her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of scaring him In general, she tugged at the hem of her red skirt again, and asked shyly, "Brother Quan...do I look good in red?" She said to herself, "Before I married my cousin, I had a lot of love." Red clothes, but later, I can no longer wear red clothes."
Lin Jiaquan pursed his lips, and said, "It's very pretty." He no longer looked at Zhu Qing intently like he was before, and looked at Zhu Qing intently, and said: "There is no one who wears red better than you." It looks good, it seems to be stained red with blood."
The corners of Zhu Qing's eyes were sore, but she pulled Lin Jiaquan, "Brother Quan... Jieer Ruier is still young, they will be afraid." She covered Lin Jiaquan lightly with bloody fingers, and whispered: "It doesn't hurt, It will be fine in a while." But the movement of his hand did not stop at all, and he stabbed Lin Jiaquan's chest with a knife.
Lin Jiaquan paused for a moment, but as if nothing had happened, he struggled to utter a good word.
Zhu Qing's tears could not be stopped anymore, she took Lin Jiaquan's hand, and said in a low voice: "You are their father, so naturally you want to accompany them." The corners of his lips curled up, and he said in a low voice: "We are a family of four, we always want to be together." The blade was aimed directly at his abdomen.
When she returned to Rose Garden, Zhao's complexion was really ugly. She stared at Lin Jing closely and asked, "Did you know that the food was drugged earlier?!"
Lin Jing nodded, there was nothing to hide.
However, Mrs. Zhao seemed to be stimulated, staggered a bit, and said: "Why don't you stop everyone?"
Lin Jing blinked her eyes, and said confidently: "Lin Weijie and Lin Yuanrui all died because of Chen's mother and daughter, Zhu Qing's doing this is nothing more than seeking justice." She didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhu Qing having so many.
Mrs. Zhao frowned and remained silent for a moment, then said: "Jing'er, even if Mrs. Chen deserves what she deserves, you can't say that what you did was right, understand?" Seeing Lin Jing's bewildered look, she sighed softly and said softly : "What you do is called standing by and watching, which is wrong."
"What's wrong." Lin Jing tilted her head, looked at Zhao Shi and said, "If I had told everyone that there was something wrong with the food, then Zhu Qing's plan would be difficult to realize, and the result of her revenge would definitely be It won't be so smooth." Seeing that Zhao Shi didn't speak, Lin Jing said again: "In that case, wouldn't Lin Weijie and Lin Yuanrui die in vain?!"
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that Lin Yuanrui's death has something to do with Mrs. Chen?" Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips, "It might be that he was just playing around." Mrs. Zhao stroked her hair before sighing, "If that's the case, then Didn't Mrs. Chen and your father die in vain?"
"Could it be that she knew she did the evil, but there's nothing she can do because there's no evidence?!" Lin Jing complained dissatisfied.
Mrs. Zhao walked up to Lin Jing, hugged her gently, and said after a while: "Jing'er, no matter what, mother also believes that the bad guys will be punished, but what mother can't accept is that you just helplessly watched this tragedy happen. Indifferent, do you understand?" Mrs. Zhao looked at Lin Jing with worry in her eyes, "Even if you think Mrs. Chen is guilty, you can go and find evidence that she framed Brother Rui in an open and honest manner. Under the iron evidence, let her have nothing to say It can be said that this is called openness."
Mrs. Zhao said a lot, and Lin Jing understood some, but she also knew that Mrs. Zhao had annoyed her because of this matter.
This made Lin Jing quite frustrated. In the past, whoever had the toughest fist was the truth. People valued the result. If you succeeded, it was your ability. If you failed, it was because your skills were inferior to others.
After all, this matter has become a big mess, and it is impossible to hide it. Even the government has come. It was originally a simple and clear matter, but for some reason, it was suspected that Lin Jing was planning behind it, and she wanted to pull it. Lin Jing went to the Yamen for questioning.
This is really funny, not to mention that Lin Jing is only eleven or twelve years old, just say that she is a little girl, how can she do such a thing.
"Second wife, we are just doing a routine business, and we just took the girl to ask about it." The official said with a smile on his face: "What's more, I heard Mrs. Lin said that when the incident happened, the fifth girl could It's okay, and she seems to be able to punch, no one in this house knows, if she has nothing to do with that Zhu Shi, when Zhu Shi wanted to assassinate the second son of Lin, why did Miss Wu say something, then why would Zhu Shi be obedient again? Do you obey?"
Zhao became dizzy with anger, so she forced herself to stop, saying: "It's so bloody! You're not afraid of retribution if you catch this ten-year-old girl as a crime!" She looked straight at Lin Jiaping, and said : "Brother, our father just left, and now the bones are still cold, only our mother and son are left to depend on each other, but now they are being bullied like this, do you want to watch helplessly?!"
Lin Jiaping's expression flickered, but he didn't look into Zhao's eyes, he just frowned and said, "Sisters and sisters, we have all been questioned before, now it's just going through the procedure." Saying this, he bowed to the official, Said: "I also ask the adults to take care of it. It's not easy for orphans and widowed mothers."
The official sneered, ignored Lin Jiaping, waved his hand, and said sharply, "Take him away!"
How could Lin Jing let them catch her, pouted her lips, and was ready to resist immediately, only to hear Zhao's stern cry: "Jing'er!" There seemed to be some fear and worry in her eyes, Lin Jing frowned, Knowing Zhao's meaning, this made her not want to resist, and she was not very refreshed at the moment, but she didn't make a move.
Mrs. Zhao staggered to Lin Jing's side, hugged her tightly, looked at the official and said, "My son is still young, I'll go with you!" She subconsciously protected Lin Jing. After being stimulated, the bones of the body have already been tossed in a bad way, but now he is holding on to protect his daughter, saying: "I am her mother, I should follow her."
Lin Jing pursed her lips, but did not speak.
The official curled his lips, nodded secretly, then put on his smile again, and said to Mrs. Zhao: "It should have been like this a long time ago." As he spoke, he seemed to complain, and said, "We are just making routine inquiries. Forget it, madam, don't worry too much."
Resisting the throbbing in her heart, Zhao Shi held back Lin Jing tightly, as if afraid that she would be taken away, she nodded solemnly.
She thought that since the two of their mothers came together, they would definitely not be separated again, but she never thought that Lin Jing would be taken away as soon as they arrived at the yamen. Mrs. Zhao always had an ominous premonition. When they were separated, this premonition became stronger and stronger, but she couldn't figure it out, this is the yamen, something bad would happen, she kept telling Lin Jing not to be afraid, she wanted to comfort herself My daughter also wanted to appease herself.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll follow them and I'll come, you go back first." Looking at Zhao's pale face, Lin Jing knew that she was worried about herself, and the previous gloom slowly dissipated.
Mrs. Zhao shook her head. She always felt that this was not an ordinary questioning. If it was just a questioning, there were officials and servants in the yamen, but now they were taken to the back house. This is not what should be asked. look?
Lin Jing's intuition is very accurate, this matter is aimed at her, her feeling is not wrong, if she is alone, if something happens, just run out, but Mrs. Zhao is always in a lot of inconvenience here, at the moment He said: "Mother, Fengzezhai is not far ahead, where do you go to rest first, my daughter will be here in a while."
Mrs. Zhao was quite panicked, seeing Lin Jing's insistence, and Lian Rui was in front of her to persuade her, so she nodded her head and instructed Lin Jing carefully before she gave up.
But when Lin Jing followed the official to a well-arranged courtyard, the official smiled at her and said, "Miss, rest here for a while, I still have some business to deal with."
Lin Jing turned her head to look at him, and said, "Didn't you call me here because of something at home?"
The official smiled all over his face and said: "The matter of the Lin family is clear and well-documented. It was the Zhu family who committed such a tragedy in order to avenge their children. What does it have to do with the girl?" He looked a little flattering .
"Then why did you trick me into coming here?" Lin Jing was really a little strange, she had never met this person before, so she really couldn't understand why he was looking for her.
The official just smiled, and said: "Young lady, you will know when you go in." After saying that, he closed the door, leaving only Lin Jing alone.
Lin Jing thought for a while, but didn't care, and walked inward, no matter what the reason was, she had to go and have a look, not to mention, she was very dependent on her own strength.
As soon as he walked through the corridor, he saw a man standing at the door with a smile on his face. Lin Jing raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?" After looking carefully, she said, "I've seen you before. You went to find uncle."
The man chuckled and said, "Miss has a good memory." He walked up to Lin Jing and said, "Miss can sacrifice herself for the benefit of the family, I really admire you." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Lin Jing. Jing made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Jing listened to the man's words in a bit of bewilderment. She felt that her brains were not enough, and she heard the man say again: "I have invited the nunnery to come, and I will naturally train the girl properly. The Governor will definitely be satisfied."
"Wait." Lin Jing narrowed her eyes, "I don't understand what you mean."
The man seemed very surprised, "Why did the girl come here?"
"Just now the official said to bring me here for questioning." Lin Jing frowned, and said again: "But at the door, he said that I would come in and naturally save the time."
The man was taken aback, laughed loudly, and said, "It seems that you haven't realized it yet." The man's tone was particularly strange, and he looked at Lin Jing and said, "Your aunt is dead, do you know that she was from Duke Qi's mansion?"
"nature."
"Do you think Duke Qi's government will let your uncle and the Lin family spare you if she dies like this?!" The man made a sympathetic gesture and looked at Lin Jing, full of pity, "In order to prevent Duke Qi's revenge, Naturally, we have to find a new backer! But the whole of Gusu, and even the whole of Jiangnan, except our governor, who would be willing to help him?"
Lin Jing listened expressionlessly.
"And you." The man looked around Lin Jing, and said, "You have such a delicate and beautiful face, you can't find another in the whole Gusu City!" He paused, looked into Lin Jing's eyes Lu was obsessed, "Lin Jiaping exchanged you for the life and death of the entire Lin family. There is no better deal than this."
Lin Jing narrowed her eyes, "Are you saying that I was sold by Lin Jiaping?" Seeing the man nodding, Lin Jing snorted coldly, turned around and left, but was stopped by the man, saying: "You can't leave, if If you don't follow, there are naturally ways to get you into Zhu's murder case and you can't extricate yourself." The man narrowed his eyes, "Indeed, you will be ruined."
Lin Jing sneered, and said, "Do you think I'm afraid?" She looked at the man, and said, "My cousin is Jinke Tanhua, do you think that you can cover the sky with one hand?"
The man sighed: "Since we can exchange you for wealth, don't we know that your cousin is Tanhua Lang?" The man didn't pay attention to Lin Jing's words at all, he shook his head and sighed, and said: "The governor is the crown prince. My uncle, do you think the crown prince is more powerful or your cousin Tanhualang is more powerful?" Seeing that Lin Jing didn't speak, the man said again: "What's more, although the Gusu Lin family sounds famous, but now there are only It’s just a shell, after all, the Lin family is just the house of a sixth-rank official, and you, although you are the fifth girl of the Lin family, but your father has never been an official, and you are just a dandy in Gusu City.”
"Just listen to my advice, you are beautiful and powerful, and everyone in Gusu City knows it, but all ladies value reputation more than life, but you are famous in Gusu City for your arrogance and domineering. Although she is better than your cousin, but you are both girls of the Lin family, and she has lost her reputation, do you think you can avoid any entanglements? After all, you can't write two characters of Lin in one stroke." The man's eyes showed unbearable, after all, he was just a It is his responsibility for a ten-year-old girl to bring Miss Lin Wu to the governor's mansion, so he shook his head and sighed: "In this life, you are burdened by your reputation, so you will not be able to find a good marriage, especially if you are a wealthy family. Don't think about it."
"Although the governor has more concubines, he has always been gentle and generous to women. If you enter the governor's mansion, you will naturally be favored based on your appearance." The man looked at Lin Jing, and suddenly sighed: "The Zhao family is corrupt and perverted. It is impossible for the sage to reverse the case." He cupped his hands upwards, lowered his voice, and said, "To speak disrespectfully, if the sage ascends the throne a hundred years later, you will be favored by the Governor-General at that time. Are you overturning the case?"
The man tried his best to persuade him, but seeing that Lin Jing was unmoved, he said again: "I came here this time only because we had met once, and I can't bear you to be bullied by others, so I want to advise you, if you are stubborn , the consequences are not something you can bear, but the result is the same, you have to think clearly."
Seeing him blocking her way, Lin Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you going to stop me?" After speaking, she looked up at him and said, "Although you are taller and bigger than me, But you are no match for me."
The man bent his lips and said, "I know." After speaking, he turned sideways to let pass.
This made her wonder, "Aren't you responsible for arresting me? Why are you letting me go now?"
"I can't stop you." The man pursed his lips, "You beat me up with your tone, why don't you be more sensible."
Only then did Lin Jing take a closer look at him. At the age of 24 or [-], she has a white face, is elegant and decent, and has a coquettish attitude. Lin Jing curled her lips and said: "What you did really failed you. Looks." After saying that, he hummed and left.
As soon as she reached the door, two guards blocked the way. Lin Jing's face darkened, and she was about to make a move, but saw the man walking over quickly, and hurriedly said: "Let her go, don't make things difficult."
Lin Jing finally relieved her anger, took two steps, turned her head to look at the man, and said, "What's your name?"
"Shao Luo." The man raised his eyebrows and replied.
Lin Jing nodded and said, "I will remember." She left immediately after speaking.
After coming out of that courtyard, Lin Jing didn't delay anything, and went directly to Fengzezhai. She looked very ugly. Lin Jiaping is really good. She had never provoked this man, but this man thought she was easy to bully. ?
"Mother, let's go back." Lin Jing spoke bluntly. She never concealed her preferences. After worrying for a long time, Mrs. Zhao felt relieved when she saw her daughter return safely. She raised her mind again, "What's the matter? What happened? What are they looking for you for?!" Mrs. Zhao had a series of doubts that urgently needed to be answered.
"Madam, please sit down first, and wait for the girl to speak slowly." Lianrui hurriedly supported Mrs. Zhao, a little worried, the wife's health has not been well, and now she is frightened and frightened, and she can't hold it anymore.
Lin Jing pursed her lips, and under Zhao's persecution, she said angrily: "Lin Jiaping actually wants to use me and the governor to exchange power!" Lin Jing could hardly conceal her anger, and said: "I just It's his niece, what qualifications does he have!"
"You... what did you say?" Zhao could only feel her head buzzing, her face was extremely pale, and her lips were trembling uncontrollably.
Lian Rui was also stunned, and hurriedly said: "Is what the girl said true?!"
Lin Jing pursed her lips and said, "Naturally." She looked at Mrs. Zhao's pale face, a little annoyed, "The official took me to a very gorgeous courtyard, and then met a man who had been to the house before. , I met him, and then he advised me to become a concubine in the governor's mansion, otherwise I would have nothing to do with Aunt Zhu's murder."
Zhao's face turned red, and she couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood and sprayed it out. She fell limply on Lian Rui's body and lost consciousness.
Lin Jing was startled, and quickly pinched Zhao Shi's person, only to wake up after a long while, she looked at Lin Jing, and suddenly began to cry, the sadness in her voice almost made Lin Jing's eyes turn red, Mrs. Zhao held Lin Jing's hand tightly, she looked at Lian Rui, gritted her teeth and said, "Jing'er...can't go back!"
Lian Rui's eyes turned red, her voice choked up, "Ma'am..."
"Lianrui, take Jing'er away, take her to Yangzhou!" Mrs. Zhao was so weak that her voice was weak, "Master Lin is a senior officer of the second rank, he is a patrol official, and all the people he appoints are ministers of the sage's heart. He is the only one who can protect Jing'er now!" Zhao's arm was so strong that the veins were ventilated, which showed that she was short of breath, "He owes me this! We must send Jing'er to Yangzhou!"
"Mother! I'm not leaving!" Lin Jing looked at Zhao Shi's weak appearance, and couldn't help crying anymore: "I want to accompany Mother!" She leaned her head lightly on Zhao Shi's shoulder, choked up and said: "I Don't be afraid, Lin Jiaping is not my uncle, I don't have such an uncle, and I'm not afraid of that governor, she can't do anything to me!"
"Stupid girl." Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "Let's go, people don't fight with officials, no matter how powerful you are, but Governor Liu is a great official in the frontier and the uncle of the prince's direct relative, so you can't fight." She Looking at Lin Jing in despair, he touched her cheek and said, "Jing'er, promise mother, you will live well."
"I promise!" Lin Jing cried and said, "Mom, it's all Jing'er's fault, it's Jing'er who caused trouble."
"Good boy." Mrs. Zhao shook her head lightly, and said, "Jing'er has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and never caused trouble for her mother." She struggled to sit up, let Lian Rui support her, and said, "Lian Rui Go and prepare a filial piety for me." Her eyes were full of hatred, "Doesn't Lin Jiaping want to be an official, doesn't she want to destroy my son, then I will destroy what she cares most about!"
Mrs. Zhao was dressed in filial piety, holding the memorial tablet of Mrs. Lin, ostentatiously passing through the market, surrounded by people pointing and pointing, Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to hear, Lin Jing was coaxed to sleep by her, Lianrui looked at her, Zhao Shi is also relieved.
Mrs. Zhao is the second wife of the Lin family. When she knocked on the door, the concierge naturally didn't dare to answer. There were many people around who liked to watch the excitement. When she saw Lin Jiaping, Mrs. Zhao cried and said, "Uncle, why are you here?" You want to force our orphans and widowed mothers like this!" Naturally, she would not reveal the fact that Lin Jing was a concubine, so although it could completely ruin his reputation, it would have a great impact on Jing'er.
"Chen's mutilated Zhu's children and forced Zhu's madness, which led to such a tragedy. All the servants and concubines in the house saw it with their own eyes, but why did the eldest brother frame my son for what he did!" Zhao cried sadly and desperately, She looked at the crowd and said, "Although my son is more sexually impulsive, how can he do such a thing at the age of 11?" She did this because she was afraid that the government would persecute her daughter for this reason in the future, and now it is publicized , Even if the government comes out to speak in the future, I am afraid that few people will believe it.
She hugged Mr. Lin's memorial tablet and cried: "Elder-in-law, look, our second wife, now we are the mother and daughter. Brother Rui was infected by Mr. Chen's design. The husband's body is still alive, and the second wife is extinct! Next daughter, please let the master let us go!" After saying that, Mrs. Zhao knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Jiaping.
The people around couldn't believe it when they heard this, they whispered to each other, if the second wife was telling the truth, Lin Jiaping's heart was really hardened, Chen's cruelty to the second wife's heir, didn't it just For the sake of her two sons, it is said that the bastard of the second room would be good to study. Could it be that the head of the family doesn't know anything about Chen's doing this?If he is not clear, even if he doesn't understand the affairs of his own family, then he is useless and incompetent. If he is clear, then he did it deliberately, and his heart is too dark.
Mrs. Zhao just felt dizzy, her body was already useless, and even if nothing happened, she probably wouldn't live long. Lin Jing was her lifeline, her weakness, and Lin Jiaping actually wanted to touch Lin Jing. Jing, being forcibly pulled at this moment, Mrs. Zhao knew that Lin Jiaping wanted to calm things down, but now that the words were all leaked out by her, how could she calm things down?
If he wanted to completely prevent Lin Jiaping from gaining a foothold in Gusu and no longer being able to get involved in the officialdom, he still needed to add fuel to the flames.
Mrs. Zhao staggered and almost fell, but took the opportunity to shake off the girls who were holding her. Mrs. Zhao put down the tablet and cried, "Father-in-law, my daughter-in-law is unfilial and failed to take good care of her husband. It is better to die than to be bullied while alive." Have fun!" After Zhao finished speaking, she bumped into the stone lion head-on, and lost her breath immediately.
The scene suddenly fell silent, not to mention Lin Jiaping's livid face, who was staring at the blood-stained stone lion in a daze, and suddenly shouted: "The second wife was forced to death by Elder Lin!"
Lin Jing rushed over, and heard such a shout, she squeezed away from the crowd, and what she saw was Zhao's white clothes stained red with blood, Lin Jing ran to Zhao's side staggeringly, and cried in a broken voice: "Mother! Mother, wake up, look at Jinger, look at Jinger!"
But Mrs. Zhao couldn't open her eyes again.
Lin Jing stared at Lin Jiaping expressionlessly. She had obviously figured out why Mrs. Zhao did what she did, and she couldn't ruin her hard work, but she didn't want to let Lin Jiaping go.
Lian Rui was afraid that Lin Jing would do something irreversible, so she hugged Lin Jing tightly and cried, "Girl..."
Lin Jing stared at Lin Jiaping, wishing to swallow him alive, but at this moment, she couldn't, she couldn't ruin Zhao's painstaking efforts, Lin Jiaping was obviously agitated, he quickly sent someone to carry Zhao's body back, But Lin Jing pushed her away without hesitation.
All the red lines on Lin Jing's fingers sank into Lin Jiaping's body, her lips moved quickly, she muttered something, and after a long while, she forced herself to swallow the fishy sweetness in her mouth, obviously she was injured.
After burying Mrs. Zhao, Lin Jing seemed to have lost her soul. Lian Rui boiled the soup, her heart ached, and said: "Girl, you must take care of yourself, Madam..." She couldn't hold it anymore , Tears rolled down his cheeks.
"I'll save it." Lin Jing nodded lightly.
She glanced at the ancestral hall again, as if she could still see Mrs. Zhao's gentle smiling face, her eyes were full of love, Lin Jing blinked her eyes, only the room was left alone, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "We let's go."
Lian Rui nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to Yangzhou."
Lin Jing pursed her lips, looked back, and then nodded, "Go to Yangzhou!"
With the help of Shao Luo, the two took advantage of their identities to lead away in the dark. Since Lin Jiaping was made such a fuss by the Zhao family and made a big fool of himself, he can never achieve anything in this life, even his two His son was also implicated, and he was completely ruined. How could he not hate him in his heart, and only thought that after a while, that little bastard would have to pay for it.
But unexpectedly, the two of them ran away without making a sound.
Lin Jing took Lian Rui with her, and the two of them didn't stop on the way. Lian Rui spent her whole life in the mansion, and she hardly ever went out. In a hurry, I really suffered a lot along the way.
Fortunately, Gusu was not far from Yangzhou city, so it was here. When she saw the gate of Yangzhou city, Lianrui was so excited that she almost shed tears.
"Miss, we finally have it!!" Lian Rui said excitedly, holding Lin Jing's hand.
"That's right." Lin Jing sighed, "It seems that we still have to walk more in the future, otherwise we won't even be able to go out." She couldn't help complaining, "It's just looking at us two girls, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!" After finishing speaking, she still hummed With a sound.
Lianrui didn't have the nerve to speak. If you want to talk about those robbers, it was really unlucky to rob her own girl. She grabbed her by the collar and beat her so badly that even her own parents wouldn't recognize that pig's head when they saw it. Who is the face? Thinking of this, Lianrui pursed her lips and gave a chuckle, then she felt a little sad, and subconsciously pinched the envelope next to her with her fingers, not knowing what the future rules would be.
Lian Rui pursed her lips, then she seemed to have made up her mind, and said: "Girl, let's go, maybe we can live in Uncle's house today."
Lin Jing thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Let's go."
Lin's mansion is easy to find, just ask anyone on the street to know the location, the two walked to the door, Lian Rui looked at the Lin's mansion hanging on the high lintel, and couldn't stop worrying in her heart, Lin Jing was not so particular , Go straight up and call the door.
A boy in gray clothes opened the door and asked suspiciously, "Who is the girl looking for?"
Lian Rui hurried forward and said: "We are from the Lin family in Gusu." She said, leading her identity to the boy.
The young man glanced at her and said with a smile: "So it's a relative from my family, I'll go in and report." After closing the door, Lian Rui glanced at her girl and comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, we I can definitely go in."
Lin Jing bent her lips and smiled, and said: "I'm not worried." Then she walked up to Lian Rui, and said, "Sister, will cousin really protect us?" After finishing speaking, she curled her lips and said: " Even if he doesn't help us, I'm not afraid."
Lian Rui smiled, only to hear Lin Jing say again: "We left in a hurry, and we didn't have time to inform Aning and cousin." After she finished speaking, she frowned and thought for a while, "Sister, if cousin dare not Help us, we will go to the capital to find Aning, he will help me."
Lianrui also knew that she and Aning had a good relationship, so she couldn't bear to worry about her daughter, so she nodded, but her heart was full of worries. If Uncle Lin couldn't believe her, how could she bother Aning? However, the embarrassing scene when Aning left Gusu was still vivid in his memory, so how could Lian Rui believe it.
The two didn't wait for a long time, and saw Lin Ruhai hurried out with a cane. His complexion was a little gloomy, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. It was very worrying. When he saw the two of them, he was shocked and said: "Jing'er?! What's the matter? Come into the house quickly!"
Seeing Lin Ruhai's caring look, Lianrui had suffered a lot of grievances along the way, and seemed to have found a place to vent, crying, "Master Biao, our wife, our wife is gone!"
Lin Ruhai was shocked, stood up quickly, and asked in disbelief: "How could this happen!" He widened his eyes, looked at Lianrui and said, "When did it happen?!"
Lianrui then told Lin Ruhai what happened, and he patted the table fiercely, angrily said: "Too much deceit!" His body looked a little thin, he swayed a bit, and closed his eyes.
Lin Jing just watched silently, then raised her head at this moment, and said, "You are poisoned." These words were not interrogative sentences, but seemed very certain.
Lin Ruhai was shocked, even Lian Rui looked at her in surprise.
But seeing the big butler standing next to Lin Ruhai hurriedly asked: "Is what the girl is telling the truth?!" After speaking, his eyes were full of tears, and he said: "Our master has been ill for a long time, but he still can't see any problems. How can it be poisoned?!"
Lin Jing pursed her lips, looked at Lin Ruhai, and said seriously: "My mother believes in you very much, and believes that you can protect me."
There were tears in Lin Ruhai's eyes. He and the Zhao family were childhood sweethearts. They had been friends since they were young. Even if they couldn't form a husband and wife, the relationship between the two of them was still deep. On her deathbed, the cousin entrusted her only daughter to him. How does this make Lin Ruhai feel better?
But how could he not know about his own body, he had already made the worst plan, thinking that Daiyu was already on her way back to Yangzhou.
"Don't worry, Jinger, no matter what, I will always protect you." Lin Ruhai didn't want to lose her composure in front of the younger generation, so she forced herself to smile and said, "Daiyu will come back from her ancestral home in Beijing and abroad in a few days. There is not much difference, and you sisters will support each other in the future."
Only then did Lianrui feel a little relieved, this is to treat his young lady as his own daughter, if he is not in good health, he must take care of his daughter properly, that way, his young lady can also be properly taken care of, now Lian Rui Rui knelt down, kowtowed to Lin Ruhai and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lianrui will take good care of the two young ladies." A grateful smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Our girls have been practicing martial arts with Mr. Lihuawu since childhood. , all this way, we depend on the girl to get to Yangzhou." Lianrui wanted to tell him that as long as they take us in and have their master and servant around, they will not be afraid of Daiyu being bullied by others in the future.
Daiyu came back half a month later. Lin Jing took a look and knew that she hadn't had a good journey. Although there were masters and servants watching over her, looking at her red eyes, she must have been worried on the journey. heart.
Lin Ruhai looked extremely happy when he saw Daiyu, and looked at his daughter, her complexion became more rosy, both parents cried in each other's arms, and they both talked a lot, Lin Jing waited for the two of them to calm down before bringing in the medicine , Said: "Uncle, it's time to take medicine."
Although Lin Jing could tell that she had been poisoned, she couldn't detoxify it, and she was just a mortal child now.
As Lin Ruhai's body became weaker and weaker, Lian
Zhu Qing looked at Chen's frightened pale face, and suddenly the corners of her mouth curled into a strange arc, and she murmured: "It's too cheap to kill you like this, I want you to taste mine." The tip ran across Chen's cheek, pointed directly at Lin Weiwan, and giggled: "Humanity says, like a mother, like a daughter, your heart is dark, and her heart is also black." She There was a moment of bewilderment in his eyes, but he became clear again in a moment, the tip of the knife slid across Lin Weiwan's cheek, leaving only a hideous streak of blood.
Lin Weiwan screamed and cried, Zhao Shi couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said: "Zhu Qing, she's just a child!" If Lin Jingqiang hadn't grabbed her, Zhao Shi would have stood up already.
Zhu Qing paused for a moment, glanced at Mrs. Zhao, her eyes flashed fiercely, and she said angrily, "Shut up!" She looked at Lin Yuanqing, as if she was looking at others through him, and suddenly covered her face She started to cry, "My poor Rui'er! Your bright future has been completely ruined by this bitch!" Her eyes were bloodshot, she stared fiercely at Chen Shi and said, "I want them to be buried with you!" Said Holding the knife, he stabbed towards Lin Yuanqing.
Lin Jing's eyes widened, and her fingers quickly tied a few knots. An invisible red line made Zhu Qing stagger, and the tip of the knife slid across the struggling Lin Yuanliang's arm, and the blood soaked Lin Yuanliang in an instant. sleeves.
Chen's eyes were shattered, the corners of her mouth were bitten bloody, but she didn't have any strength at all. Seeing her two sons and daughters injured, she felt heartache unbearably. She had the thought of killing Zhu Qing, so she just shouted: If you want to be killed, just come and find me, don't hurt them, they are innocent!"
Lin Jing held Zhao Shi tightly, not allowing her to move an inch. She looked at Zhu Qing with a cold face and said, "The way of heaven is reincarnated, and the retribution is not good. If you can accomplish this today, it is also destiny. , why do you hurt the innocent!" She glanced at Chen Shi, and said: "Brothers Yuan Liang and Yuan Qing have never offended you, and you owe karma to them if you hurt them!"
"Cause and effect?!" Zhu Qing sneered, "I have nothing now, so am I afraid of karma?!" There seemed to be a fire burning fast in her eyes, she looked at Chen with a blank expression, Seeing her distressed appearance, she suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, "Look, do you know it hurts too? Do you know that when my Jieer Ruier left, I was in a hundred times a thousand times more pain than you!" Zhu Qing broke her voice. The crying and shouting only made people feel sad and hopeless. She had blood on her hands, stroked Chen's cheek, and said softly: "It's okay, I will avenge them now." In the chest, there was no breath in an instant.
Everyone seemed to be stupefied by fright, only Lin Jiaquan looked on indifferently, there was no joy or sadness in his eyes, his eyes met, Zhu Qing walked up to Lin Jiaquan as if bewitched, her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of scaring him In general, she tugged at the hem of her red skirt again, and asked shyly, "Brother Quan...do I look good in red?" She said to herself, "Before I married my cousin, I had a lot of love." Red clothes, but later, I can no longer wear red clothes."
Lin Jiaquan pursed his lips, and said, "It's very pretty." He no longer looked at Zhu Qing intently like he was before, and looked at Zhu Qing intently, and said: "There is no one who wears red better than you." It looks good, it seems to be stained red with blood."
The corners of Zhu Qing's eyes were sore, but she pulled Lin Jiaquan, "Brother Quan... Jieer Ruier is still young, they will be afraid." She covered Lin Jiaquan lightly with bloody fingers, and whispered: "It doesn't hurt, It will be fine in a while." But the movement of his hand did not stop at all, and he stabbed Lin Jiaquan's chest with a knife.
Lin Jiaquan paused for a moment, but as if nothing had happened, he struggled to utter a good word.
Zhu Qing's tears could not be stopped anymore, she took Lin Jiaquan's hand, and said in a low voice: "You are their father, so naturally you want to accompany them." The corners of his lips curled up, and he said in a low voice: "We are a family of four, we always want to be together." The blade was aimed directly at his abdomen.
When she returned to Rose Garden, Zhao's complexion was really ugly. She stared at Lin Jing closely and asked, "Did you know that the food was drugged earlier?!"
Lin Jing nodded, there was nothing to hide.
However, Mrs. Zhao seemed to be stimulated, staggered a bit, and said: "Why don't you stop everyone?"
Lin Jing blinked her eyes, and said confidently: "Lin Weijie and Lin Yuanrui all died because of Chen's mother and daughter, Zhu Qing's doing this is nothing more than seeking justice." She didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhu Qing having so many.
Mrs. Zhao frowned and remained silent for a moment, then said: "Jing'er, even if Mrs. Chen deserves what she deserves, you can't say that what you did was right, understand?" Seeing Lin Jing's bewildered look, she sighed softly and said softly : "What you do is called standing by and watching, which is wrong."
"What's wrong." Lin Jing tilted her head, looked at Zhao Shi and said, "If I had told everyone that there was something wrong with the food, then Zhu Qing's plan would be difficult to realize, and the result of her revenge would definitely be It won't be so smooth." Seeing that Zhao Shi didn't speak, Lin Jing said again: "In that case, wouldn't Lin Weijie and Lin Yuanrui die in vain?!"
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that Lin Yuanrui's death has something to do with Mrs. Chen?" Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips, "It might be that he was just playing around." Mrs. Zhao stroked her hair before sighing, "If that's the case, then Didn't Mrs. Chen and your father die in vain?"
"Could it be that she knew she did the evil, but there's nothing she can do because there's no evidence?!" Lin Jing complained dissatisfied.
Mrs. Zhao walked up to Lin Jing, hugged her gently, and said after a while: "Jing'er, no matter what, mother also believes that the bad guys will be punished, but what mother can't accept is that you just helplessly watched this tragedy happen. Indifferent, do you understand?" Mrs. Zhao looked at Lin Jing with worry in her eyes, "Even if you think Mrs. Chen is guilty, you can go and find evidence that she framed Brother Rui in an open and honest manner. Under the iron evidence, let her have nothing to say It can be said that this is called openness."
Mrs. Zhao said a lot, and Lin Jing understood some, but she also knew that Mrs. Zhao had annoyed her because of this matter.
This made Lin Jing quite frustrated. In the past, whoever had the toughest fist was the truth. People valued the result. If you succeeded, it was your ability. If you failed, it was because your skills were inferior to others.
After all, this matter has become a big mess, and it is impossible to hide it. Even the government has come. It was originally a simple and clear matter, but for some reason, it was suspected that Lin Jing was planning behind it, and she wanted to pull it. Lin Jing went to the Yamen for questioning.
This is really funny, not to mention that Lin Jing is only eleven or twelve years old, just say that she is a little girl, how can she do such a thing.
"Second wife, we are just doing a routine business, and we just took the girl to ask about it." The official said with a smile on his face: "What's more, I heard Mrs. Lin said that when the incident happened, the fifth girl could It's okay, and she seems to be able to punch, no one in this house knows, if she has nothing to do with that Zhu Shi, when Zhu Shi wanted to assassinate the second son of Lin, why did Miss Wu say something, then why would Zhu Shi be obedient again? Do you obey?"
Zhao became dizzy with anger, so she forced herself to stop, saying: "It's so bloody! You're not afraid of retribution if you catch this ten-year-old girl as a crime!" She looked straight at Lin Jiaping, and said : "Brother, our father just left, and now the bones are still cold, only our mother and son are left to depend on each other, but now they are being bullied like this, do you want to watch helplessly?!"
Lin Jiaping's expression flickered, but he didn't look into Zhao's eyes, he just frowned and said, "Sisters and sisters, we have all been questioned before, now it's just going through the procedure." Saying this, he bowed to the official, Said: "I also ask the adults to take care of it. It's not easy for orphans and widowed mothers."
The official sneered, ignored Lin Jiaping, waved his hand, and said sharply, "Take him away!"
How could Lin Jing let them catch her, pouted her lips, and was ready to resist immediately, only to hear Zhao's stern cry: "Jing'er!" There seemed to be some fear and worry in her eyes, Lin Jing frowned, Knowing Zhao's meaning, this made her not want to resist, and she was not very refreshed at the moment, but she didn't make a move.
Mrs. Zhao staggered to Lin Jing's side, hugged her tightly, looked at the official and said, "My son is still young, I'll go with you!" She subconsciously protected Lin Jing. After being stimulated, the bones of the body have already been tossed in a bad way, but now he is holding on to protect his daughter, saying: "I am her mother, I should follow her."
Lin Jing pursed her lips, but did not speak.
The official curled his lips, nodded secretly, then put on his smile again, and said to Mrs. Zhao: "It should have been like this a long time ago." As he spoke, he seemed to complain, and said, "We are just making routine inquiries. Forget it, madam, don't worry too much."
Resisting the throbbing in her heart, Zhao Shi held back Lin Jing tightly, as if afraid that she would be taken away, she nodded solemnly.
She thought that since the two of their mothers came together, they would definitely not be separated again, but she never thought that Lin Jing would be taken away as soon as they arrived at the yamen. Mrs. Zhao always had an ominous premonition. When they were separated, this premonition became stronger and stronger, but she couldn't figure it out, this is the yamen, something bad would happen, she kept telling Lin Jing not to be afraid, she wanted to comfort herself My daughter also wanted to appease herself.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll follow them and I'll come, you go back first." Looking at Zhao's pale face, Lin Jing knew that she was worried about herself, and the previous gloom slowly dissipated.
Mrs. Zhao shook her head. She always felt that this was not an ordinary questioning. If it was just a questioning, there were officials and servants in the yamen, but now they were taken to the back house. This is not what should be asked. look?
Lin Jing's intuition is very accurate, this matter is aimed at her, her feeling is not wrong, if she is alone, if something happens, just run out, but Mrs. Zhao is always in a lot of inconvenience here, at the moment He said: "Mother, Fengzezhai is not far ahead, where do you go to rest first, my daughter will be here in a while."
Mrs. Zhao was quite panicked, seeing Lin Jing's insistence, and Lian Rui was in front of her to persuade her, so she nodded her head and instructed Lin Jing carefully before she gave up.
But when Lin Jing followed the official to a well-arranged courtyard, the official smiled at her and said, "Miss, rest here for a while, I still have some business to deal with."
Lin Jing turned her head to look at him, and said, "Didn't you call me here because of something at home?"
The official smiled all over his face and said: "The matter of the Lin family is clear and well-documented. It was the Zhu family who committed such a tragedy in order to avenge their children. What does it have to do with the girl?" He looked a little flattering .
"Then why did you trick me into coming here?" Lin Jing was really a little strange, she had never met this person before, so she really couldn't understand why he was looking for her.
The official just smiled, and said: "Young lady, you will know when you go in." After saying that, he closed the door, leaving only Lin Jing alone.
Lin Jing thought for a while, but didn't care, and walked inward, no matter what the reason was, she had to go and have a look, not to mention, she was very dependent on her own strength.
As soon as he walked through the corridor, he saw a man standing at the door with a smile on his face. Lin Jing raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?" After looking carefully, she said, "I've seen you before. You went to find uncle."
The man chuckled and said, "Miss has a good memory." He walked up to Lin Jing and said, "Miss can sacrifice herself for the benefit of the family, I really admire you." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Lin Jing. Jing made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Jing listened to the man's words in a bit of bewilderment. She felt that her brains were not enough, and she heard the man say again: "I have invited the nunnery to come, and I will naturally train the girl properly. The Governor will definitely be satisfied."
"Wait." Lin Jing narrowed her eyes, "I don't understand what you mean."
The man seemed very surprised, "Why did the girl come here?"
"Just now the official said to bring me here for questioning." Lin Jing frowned, and said again: "But at the door, he said that I would come in and naturally save the time."
The man was taken aback, laughed loudly, and said, "It seems that you haven't realized it yet." The man's tone was particularly strange, and he looked at Lin Jing and said, "Your aunt is dead, do you know that she was from Duke Qi's mansion?"
"nature."
"Do you think Duke Qi's government will let your uncle and the Lin family spare you if she dies like this?!" The man made a sympathetic gesture and looked at Lin Jing, full of pity, "In order to prevent Duke Qi's revenge, Naturally, we have to find a new backer! But the whole of Gusu, and even the whole of Jiangnan, except our governor, who would be willing to help him?"
Lin Jing listened expressionlessly.
"And you." The man looked around Lin Jing, and said, "You have such a delicate and beautiful face, you can't find another in the whole Gusu City!" He paused, looked into Lin Jing's eyes Lu was obsessed, "Lin Jiaping exchanged you for the life and death of the entire Lin family. There is no better deal than this."
Lin Jing narrowed her eyes, "Are you saying that I was sold by Lin Jiaping?" Seeing the man nodding, Lin Jing snorted coldly, turned around and left, but was stopped by the man, saying: "You can't leave, if If you don't follow, there are naturally ways to get you into Zhu's murder case and you can't extricate yourself." The man narrowed his eyes, "Indeed, you will be ruined."
Lin Jing sneered, and said, "Do you think I'm afraid?" She looked at the man, and said, "My cousin is Jinke Tanhua, do you think that you can cover the sky with one hand?"
The man sighed: "Since we can exchange you for wealth, don't we know that your cousin is Tanhua Lang?" The man didn't pay attention to Lin Jing's words at all, he shook his head and sighed, and said: "The governor is the crown prince. My uncle, do you think the crown prince is more powerful or your cousin Tanhualang is more powerful?" Seeing that Lin Jing didn't speak, the man said again: "What's more, although the Gusu Lin family sounds famous, but now there are only It’s just a shell, after all, the Lin family is just the house of a sixth-rank official, and you, although you are the fifth girl of the Lin family, but your father has never been an official, and you are just a dandy in Gusu City.”
"Just listen to my advice, you are beautiful and powerful, and everyone in Gusu City knows it, but all ladies value reputation more than life, but you are famous in Gusu City for your arrogance and domineering. Although she is better than your cousin, but you are both girls of the Lin family, and she has lost her reputation, do you think you can avoid any entanglements? After all, you can't write two characters of Lin in one stroke." The man's eyes showed unbearable, after all, he was just a It is his responsibility for a ten-year-old girl to bring Miss Lin Wu to the governor's mansion, so he shook his head and sighed: "In this life, you are burdened by your reputation, so you will not be able to find a good marriage, especially if you are a wealthy family. Don't think about it."
"Although the governor has more concubines, he has always been gentle and generous to women. If you enter the governor's mansion, you will naturally be favored based on your appearance." The man looked at Lin Jing, and suddenly sighed: "The Zhao family is corrupt and perverted. It is impossible for the sage to reverse the case." He cupped his hands upwards, lowered his voice, and said, "To speak disrespectfully, if the sage ascends the throne a hundred years later, you will be favored by the Governor-General at that time. Are you overturning the case?"
The man tried his best to persuade him, but seeing that Lin Jing was unmoved, he said again: "I came here this time only because we had met once, and I can't bear you to be bullied by others, so I want to advise you, if you are stubborn , the consequences are not something you can bear, but the result is the same, you have to think clearly."
Seeing him blocking her way, Lin Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you going to stop me?" After speaking, she looked up at him and said, "Although you are taller and bigger than me, But you are no match for me."
The man bent his lips and said, "I know." After speaking, he turned sideways to let pass.
This made her wonder, "Aren't you responsible for arresting me? Why are you letting me go now?"
"I can't stop you." The man pursed his lips, "You beat me up with your tone, why don't you be more sensible."
Only then did Lin Jing take a closer look at him. At the age of 24 or [-], she has a white face, is elegant and decent, and has a coquettish attitude. Lin Jing curled her lips and said: "What you did really failed you. Looks." After saying that, he hummed and left.
As soon as she reached the door, two guards blocked the way. Lin Jing's face darkened, and she was about to make a move, but saw the man walking over quickly, and hurriedly said: "Let her go, don't make things difficult."
Lin Jing finally relieved her anger, took two steps, turned her head to look at the man, and said, "What's your name?"
"Shao Luo." The man raised his eyebrows and replied.
Lin Jing nodded and said, "I will remember." She left immediately after speaking.
After coming out of that courtyard, Lin Jing didn't delay anything, and went directly to Fengzezhai. She looked very ugly. Lin Jiaping is really good. She had never provoked this man, but this man thought she was easy to bully. ?
"Mother, let's go back." Lin Jing spoke bluntly. She never concealed her preferences. After worrying for a long time, Mrs. Zhao felt relieved when she saw her daughter return safely. She raised her mind again, "What's the matter? What happened? What are they looking for you for?!" Mrs. Zhao had a series of doubts that urgently needed to be answered.
"Madam, please sit down first, and wait for the girl to speak slowly." Lianrui hurriedly supported Mrs. Zhao, a little worried, the wife's health has not been well, and now she is frightened and frightened, and she can't hold it anymore.
Lin Jing pursed her lips, and under Zhao's persecution, she said angrily: "Lin Jiaping actually wants to use me and the governor to exchange power!" Lin Jing could hardly conceal her anger, and said: "I just It's his niece, what qualifications does he have!"
"You... what did you say?" Zhao could only feel her head buzzing, her face was extremely pale, and her lips were trembling uncontrollably.
Lian Rui was also stunned, and hurriedly said: "Is what the girl said true?!"
Lin Jing pursed her lips and said, "Naturally." She looked at Mrs. Zhao's pale face, a little annoyed, "The official took me to a very gorgeous courtyard, and then met a man who had been to the house before. , I met him, and then he advised me to become a concubine in the governor's mansion, otherwise I would have nothing to do with Aunt Zhu's murder."
Zhao's face turned red, and she couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood and sprayed it out. She fell limply on Lian Rui's body and lost consciousness.
Lin Jing was startled, and quickly pinched Zhao Shi's person, only to wake up after a long while, she looked at Lin Jing, and suddenly began to cry, the sadness in her voice almost made Lin Jing's eyes turn red, Mrs. Zhao held Lin Jing's hand tightly, she looked at Lian Rui, gritted her teeth and said, "Jing'er...can't go back!"
Lian Rui's eyes turned red, her voice choked up, "Ma'am..."
"Lianrui, take Jing'er away, take her to Yangzhou!" Mrs. Zhao was so weak that her voice was weak, "Master Lin is a senior officer of the second rank, he is a patrol official, and all the people he appoints are ministers of the sage's heart. He is the only one who can protect Jing'er now!" Zhao's arm was so strong that the veins were ventilated, which showed that she was short of breath, "He owes me this! We must send Jing'er to Yangzhou!"
"Mother! I'm not leaving!" Lin Jing looked at Zhao Shi's weak appearance, and couldn't help crying anymore: "I want to accompany Mother!" She leaned her head lightly on Zhao Shi's shoulder, choked up and said: "I Don't be afraid, Lin Jiaping is not my uncle, I don't have such an uncle, and I'm not afraid of that governor, she can't do anything to me!"
"Stupid girl." Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "Let's go, people don't fight with officials, no matter how powerful you are, but Governor Liu is a great official in the frontier and the uncle of the prince's direct relative, so you can't fight." She Looking at Lin Jing in despair, he touched her cheek and said, "Jing'er, promise mother, you will live well."
"I promise!" Lin Jing cried and said, "Mom, it's all Jing'er's fault, it's Jing'er who caused trouble."
"Good boy." Mrs. Zhao shook her head lightly, and said, "Jing'er has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and never caused trouble for her mother." She struggled to sit up, let Lian Rui support her, and said, "Lian Rui Go and prepare a filial piety for me." Her eyes were full of hatred, "Doesn't Lin Jiaping want to be an official, doesn't she want to destroy my son, then I will destroy what she cares most about!"
Mrs. Zhao was dressed in filial piety, holding the memorial tablet of Mrs. Lin, ostentatiously passing through the market, surrounded by people pointing and pointing, Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to hear, Lin Jing was coaxed to sleep by her, Lianrui looked at her, Zhao Shi is also relieved.
Mrs. Zhao is the second wife of the Lin family. When she knocked on the door, the concierge naturally didn't dare to answer. There were many people around who liked to watch the excitement. When she saw Lin Jiaping, Mrs. Zhao cried and said, "Uncle, why are you here?" You want to force our orphans and widowed mothers like this!" Naturally, she would not reveal the fact that Lin Jing was a concubine, so although it could completely ruin his reputation, it would have a great impact on Jing'er.
"Chen's mutilated Zhu's children and forced Zhu's madness, which led to such a tragedy. All the servants and concubines in the house saw it with their own eyes, but why did the eldest brother frame my son for what he did!" Zhao cried sadly and desperately, She looked at the crowd and said, "Although my son is more sexually impulsive, how can he do such a thing at the age of 11?" She did this because she was afraid that the government would persecute her daughter for this reason in the future, and now it is publicized , Even if the government comes out to speak in the future, I am afraid that few people will believe it.
She hugged Mr. Lin's memorial tablet and cried: "Elder-in-law, look, our second wife, now we are the mother and daughter. Brother Rui was infected by Mr. Chen's design. The husband's body is still alive, and the second wife is extinct! Next daughter, please let the master let us go!" After saying that, Mrs. Zhao knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Jiaping.
The people around couldn't believe it when they heard this, they whispered to each other, if the second wife was telling the truth, Lin Jiaping's heart was really hardened, Chen's cruelty to the second wife's heir, didn't it just For the sake of her two sons, it is said that the bastard of the second room would be good to study. Could it be that the head of the family doesn't know anything about Chen's doing this?If he is not clear, even if he doesn't understand the affairs of his own family, then he is useless and incompetent. If he is clear, then he did it deliberately, and his heart is too dark.
Mrs. Zhao just felt dizzy, her body was already useless, and even if nothing happened, she probably wouldn't live long. Lin Jing was her lifeline, her weakness, and Lin Jiaping actually wanted to touch Lin Jing. Jing, being forcibly pulled at this moment, Mrs. Zhao knew that Lin Jiaping wanted to calm things down, but now that the words were all leaked out by her, how could she calm things down?
If he wanted to completely prevent Lin Jiaping from gaining a foothold in Gusu and no longer being able to get involved in the officialdom, he still needed to add fuel to the flames.
Mrs. Zhao staggered and almost fell, but took the opportunity to shake off the girls who were holding her. Mrs. Zhao put down the tablet and cried, "Father-in-law, my daughter-in-law is unfilial and failed to take good care of her husband. It is better to die than to be bullied while alive." Have fun!" After Zhao finished speaking, she bumped into the stone lion head-on, and lost her breath immediately.
The scene suddenly fell silent, not to mention Lin Jiaping's livid face, who was staring at the blood-stained stone lion in a daze, and suddenly shouted: "The second wife was forced to death by Elder Lin!"
Lin Jing rushed over, and heard such a shout, she squeezed away from the crowd, and what she saw was Zhao's white clothes stained red with blood, Lin Jing ran to Zhao's side staggeringly, and cried in a broken voice: "Mother! Mother, wake up, look at Jinger, look at Jinger!"
But Mrs. Zhao couldn't open her eyes again.
Lin Jing stared at Lin Jiaping expressionlessly. She had obviously figured out why Mrs. Zhao did what she did, and she couldn't ruin her hard work, but she didn't want to let Lin Jiaping go.
Lian Rui was afraid that Lin Jing would do something irreversible, so she hugged Lin Jing tightly and cried, "Girl..."
Lin Jing stared at Lin Jiaping, wishing to swallow him alive, but at this moment, she couldn't, she couldn't ruin Zhao's painstaking efforts, Lin Jiaping was obviously agitated, he quickly sent someone to carry Zhao's body back, But Lin Jing pushed her away without hesitation.
All the red lines on Lin Jing's fingers sank into Lin Jiaping's body, her lips moved quickly, she muttered something, and after a long while, she forced herself to swallow the fishy sweetness in her mouth, obviously she was injured.
After burying Mrs. Zhao, Lin Jing seemed to have lost her soul. Lian Rui boiled the soup, her heart ached, and said: "Girl, you must take care of yourself, Madam..." She couldn't hold it anymore , Tears rolled down his cheeks.
"I'll save it." Lin Jing nodded lightly.
She glanced at the ancestral hall again, as if she could still see Mrs. Zhao's gentle smiling face, her eyes were full of love, Lin Jing blinked her eyes, only the room was left alone, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "We let's go."
Lian Rui nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to Yangzhou."
Lin Jing pursed her lips, looked back, and then nodded, "Go to Yangzhou!"
With the help of Shao Luo, the two took advantage of their identities to lead away in the dark. Since Lin Jiaping was made such a fuss by the Zhao family and made a big fool of himself, he can never achieve anything in this life, even his two His son was also implicated, and he was completely ruined. How could he not hate him in his heart, and only thought that after a while, that little bastard would have to pay for it.
But unexpectedly, the two of them ran away without making a sound.
Lin Jing took Lian Rui with her, and the two of them didn't stop on the way. Lian Rui spent her whole life in the mansion, and she hardly ever went out. In a hurry, I really suffered a lot along the way.
Fortunately, Gusu was not far from Yangzhou city, so it was here. When she saw the gate of Yangzhou city, Lianrui was so excited that she almost shed tears.
"Miss, we finally have it!!" Lian Rui said excitedly, holding Lin Jing's hand.
"That's right." Lin Jing sighed, "It seems that we still have to walk more in the future, otherwise we won't even be able to go out." She couldn't help complaining, "It's just looking at us two girls, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!" After finishing speaking, she still hummed With a sound.
Lianrui didn't have the nerve to speak. If you want to talk about those robbers, it was really unlucky to rob her own girl. She grabbed her by the collar and beat her so badly that even her own parents wouldn't recognize that pig's head when they saw it. Who is the face? Thinking of this, Lianrui pursed her lips and gave a chuckle, then she felt a little sad, and subconsciously pinched the envelope next to her with her fingers, not knowing what the future rules would be.
Lian Rui pursed her lips, then she seemed to have made up her mind, and said: "Girl, let's go, maybe we can live in Uncle's house today."
Lin Jing thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Let's go."
Lin's mansion is easy to find, just ask anyone on the street to know the location, the two walked to the door, Lian Rui looked at the Lin's mansion hanging on the high lintel, and couldn't stop worrying in her heart, Lin Jing was not so particular , Go straight up and call the door.
A boy in gray clothes opened the door and asked suspiciously, "Who is the girl looking for?"
Lian Rui hurried forward and said: "We are from the Lin family in Gusu." She said, leading her identity to the boy.
The young man glanced at her and said with a smile: "So it's a relative from my family, I'll go in and report." After closing the door, Lian Rui glanced at her girl and comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, we I can definitely go in."
Lin Jing bent her lips and smiled, and said: "I'm not worried." Then she walked up to Lian Rui, and said, "Sister, will cousin really protect us?" After finishing speaking, she curled her lips and said: " Even if he doesn't help us, I'm not afraid."
Lian Rui smiled, only to hear Lin Jing say again: "We left in a hurry, and we didn't have time to inform Aning and cousin." After she finished speaking, she frowned and thought for a while, "Sister, if cousin dare not Help us, we will go to the capital to find Aning, he will help me."
Lianrui also knew that she and Aning had a good relationship, so she couldn't bear to worry about her daughter, so she nodded, but her heart was full of worries. If Uncle Lin couldn't believe her, how could she bother Aning? However, the embarrassing scene when Aning left Gusu was still vivid in his memory, so how could Lian Rui believe it.
The two didn't wait for a long time, and saw Lin Ruhai hurried out with a cane. His complexion was a little gloomy, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. It was very worrying. When he saw the two of them, he was shocked and said: "Jing'er?! What's the matter? Come into the house quickly!"
Seeing Lin Ruhai's caring look, Lianrui had suffered a lot of grievances along the way, and seemed to have found a place to vent, crying, "Master Biao, our wife, our wife is gone!"
Lin Ruhai was shocked, stood up quickly, and asked in disbelief: "How could this happen!" He widened his eyes, looked at Lianrui and said, "When did it happen?!"
Lianrui then told Lin Ruhai what happened, and he patted the table fiercely, angrily said: "Too much deceit!" His body looked a little thin, he swayed a bit, and closed his eyes.
Lin Jing just watched silently, then raised her head at this moment, and said, "You are poisoned." These words were not interrogative sentences, but seemed very certain.
Lin Ruhai was shocked, even Lian Rui looked at her in surprise.
But seeing the big butler standing next to Lin Ruhai hurriedly asked: "Is what the girl is telling the truth?!" After speaking, his eyes were full of tears, and he said: "Our master has been ill for a long time, but he still can't see any problems. How can it be poisoned?!"
Lin Jing pursed her lips, looked at Lin Ruhai, and said seriously: "My mother believes in you very much, and believes that you can protect me."
There were tears in Lin Ruhai's eyes. He and the Zhao family were childhood sweethearts. They had been friends since they were young. Even if they couldn't form a husband and wife, the relationship between the two of them was still deep. On her deathbed, the cousin entrusted her only daughter to him. How does this make Lin Ruhai feel better?
But how could he not know about his own body, he had already made the worst plan, thinking that Daiyu was already on her way back to Yangzhou.
"Don't worry, Jinger, no matter what, I will always protect you." Lin Ruhai didn't want to lose her composure in front of the younger generation, so she forced herself to smile and said, "Daiyu will come back from her ancestral home in Beijing and abroad in a few days. There is not much difference, and you sisters will support each other in the future."
Only then did Lianrui feel a little relieved, this is to treat his young lady as his own daughter, if he is not in good health, he must take care of his daughter properly, that way, his young lady can also be properly taken care of, now Lian Rui Rui knelt down, kowtowed to Lin Ruhai and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lianrui will take good care of the two young ladies." A grateful smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Our girls have been practicing martial arts with Mr. Lihuawu since childhood. , all this way, we depend on the girl to get to Yangzhou." Lianrui wanted to tell him that as long as they take us in and have their master and servant around, they will not be afraid of Daiyu being bullied by others in the future.
Daiyu came back half a month later. Lin Jing took a look and knew that she hadn't had a good journey. Although there were masters and servants watching over her, looking at her red eyes, she must have been worried on the journey. heart.
Lin Ruhai looked extremely happy when he saw Daiyu, and looked at his daughter, her complexion became more rosy, both parents cried in each other's arms, and they both talked a lot, Lin Jing waited for the two of them to calm down before bringing in the medicine , Said: "Uncle, it's time to take medicine."
Although Lin Jing could tell that she had been poisoned, she couldn't detoxify it, and she was just a mortal child now.
As Lin Ruhai's body became weaker and weaker, Lian
