After chatting with Lu Dashan in the garden for nearly two hours, it was already half past twelve when Xiao Zheng returned home. Lin Huayin had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom in her pajamas. When Xiao Zheng came back, he didn't gossip about anything with Lu Dashan. He just reminded him not to stuff all his underwear and socks into the washing machine. Unhygienic.
"When I was abroad, not to mention underwear and socks, even shirts were washed together." Xiao Zheng said with a grin.
Lin Huayin frowned slightly and lay down quietly on the bed.
Xiao Zheng finished taking a shower and climbed into bed full of worries. Seeing that although Lin Huayin was lying peacefully, her breathing was uneven, he knew that she was not asleep yet. He couldn't help but hugged Lin Huayin's soft waist, then buried his head in her hair, and asked in a low voice: "Let's chat?"
"Haven't we talked enough?" Lin Huayin said calmly.
I drank two large glasses of water when I went upstairs, and my throat seemed to be on fire.
"That's enough. But my mood is even heavier." Xiao Zheng sighed.
"Huh?" Lin Huayin uttered a questionable syllable.
"Do you know why Aunt Jing came to Mingzhu?" Xiao Zheng asked softly.
"I don't know." Lin Huayin said.
"Revenge." After Xiao Zheng said this, he added another sentence. "Avenge your shame."
"Who are you looking for?" Lin Huayin asked curiously.
"Sister Qin lives next door to us." Xiao Zheng sighed. "No joke, Sister Qin was a female devil who killed countless people back then. I'm really worried about Aunt Jing."
Lin Huayin asked: "What did Lu Dashan tell you?"
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded. "He wanted me to break up the fight so as not to damage the peace."
"What's the reason?" Lin Huayin asked.
"What's the reason?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Revenge - the reason for avenging shame." Lin Huayin asked in detail.
"this-"
Xiao Zheng paused. In order to seek help from Lin Huayin, he had to confess frankly and report the truth to her.
After listening to Xiao Zheng's narration, Lin Huayin frowned slightly and said, "Aunt Qin almost killed her back then?"
"Sister Qin was just starting out and didn't know much about social rules, so-" Xiao Zheng explained awkwardly. But he found that this explanation was really pale, and it also looked like his elbows were turned outward.
"What do you want me to do?" Lin Huayin asked concisely.
"Since my mother-in-law won't pursue it, I think this matter is in the past. After all, it happened twenty years ago. There is no need to hold it against you." Xiao Zheng said with a fair attitude.
"According to Aunt Jing's temperament, she will not agree." Lin Huayin said straightforwardly. "Avenging shame can be tolerated. But revenge—she will definitely have to take revenge."
"Aunt Jing is so stubborn?" Xiao Zheng sighed.
"If she hadn't been stubborn, she wouldn't have chosen to go up the mountain in the first place." Lin Huayin said with respect.
Xiao Zheng suddenly realized what he said.
"So Aunt Jing took the initiative to become a monk?" Xiao Zheng asked in surprise. "Then she is really loyal to your old Ye family."
Lin Huayin let Xiao Zheng hold her waist tightly and said calmly: "I can't help with this matter."
"Then give me some ideas. Let's see how we can distract Aunt Jing." Xiao Zheng said. "Uncle Lu has made this matter extremely urgent, so I can't slack off."
"You ask for leave tomorrow. Take Aunt Jing around, follow her as much as possible, and don't let her have any private space." Lin Huayin said.
"That's it?" Xiao Zheng asked in disbelief.
"Otherwise?" Lin Huayin asked. "How about you tie her up and send her directly back to the mountain?"
Xiao Zheng retracted his neck and said helplessly: "I have seen Aunt Jing practice boxing before, and her skills are no joke. She has simply reached the advanced level of using softness to overcome strength."
Lin Huayin looked back at Xiao Zheng: "Don't you claim to be invincible?"
"—" Xiao Zheng said awkwardly. "Then I don't dare to challenge Aunt Jing."
Lin Huayin gradually became silent and fell asleep. Xiao Zheng thought about it for a while and fell asleep. Early the next morning, Xiao Zheng got up energetically, and then made breakfast and porridge for the two women at home. At exactly seven o'clock, Xiao Zheng was about to ask Lin Huayin to get up, but he found Aunt Jing coming in from the door—
"Aunt Jing." Xiao Zheng said in horror. "When did you go out?"
"Four o'clock." Li Jing said with a smile. "Didn't it disturb you?"
Xiao Zheng nodded hurriedly: "No." After a pause, he said suspiciously. "But why are you getting up so early? We don't have to do homework and chant sutras here."
"I'm used to it." Li Jing smiled.
"Then you clean up and get ready for breakfast." Xiao Zheng said to Li Jing while placing the tableware. "I'll drive you around in a minute. I haven't been to Mingzhu in more than 20 years, and the changes have been huge."
"I've never been here." Li Jing said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng was slightly startled, but he was not surprised. After all, I followed Ye Yuhua up the mountain when I was in my twenties, and I have never tasted so many wonderful things in this world. Including love.
What a loyal and personal maid. For the sake of the eldest lady, she even ignored her own happiness. It’s no wonder that twenty years later, he still can’t forget the grudges of that year, and traveled thousands of miles to seek revenge in Mingzhu. Extremely stubborn.
The three of them had breakfast. Lin Huayin and Li Jing chatted for a while before going out to work. Xiao Zhengze has been given a great responsibility and must stay with Li Jing around the clock, lest she rush to the Lu family and avenge her shame. If someone is killed, I don't know how it will end.
"Aunt Jing, our Mingzhu also has several eminent monks. Are you interested in going over to discuss the scriptures?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.
Li Jing shook her head and said with a smile: "I became a monk not to gain enlightenment, but to strengthen my body. There is no need to discuss scriptures with wise men."
Xiao Zheng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Then let's go see the scenery of Mingzhu later. I'll buy some specialties for you to take back."
Li Jing did not refute what he said and followed Xiao Zheng's arrangements throughout the process. We went shopping, looked at the scenery, and bought a lot of specialty snacks. The entire itinerary was packed to the brim, for fear that Aunt Jing might want to take revenge in her spare time.
For three consecutive days, Xiao Zheng took Aunt Jing to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Mingzhu, and also tasted all the delicacies that Aunt Jing could eat. If it weren't for the fear of running too far, Xiao Zheng would have wanted to take Aunt Jing to a neighboring province.
After three days, Xiao Zheng had spent a lot of money and was severely exhausted, until Aunt Jing decided to go back tomorrow morning. Xiao Zhengcai said in confusion: "I think we are thinking too much."
Lin Huayin remained silent and did not make a sound.
The two lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling silently. Xiao Zheng was exhausted mentally and physically, and Lin Huayin was also worried about Li Jingzhen going to Qin Shuang for revenge these days.
It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the evening that the two of them closed their eyes and prepared to fall asleep.
However, less than ten minutes after Xiao Zheng closed his eyes, he suddenly opened his eyes again!
As soon as he opened his eyes, Lin Huayin also opened his eyes immediately. He looked at Xiao Zheng and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sure enough, I still can't escape—" Xiao Zheng said in a dumbfounded voice.
Lin Huayin's eyes were still a little confused, but she understood the meaning of Xiao Zheng's words.
"I have to go and break up the fight." Xiao Zheng said while getting dressed. "Both of them are top-notch masters. If they really fight, they will be too murderous."
"Do you want me to go?" Lin Huayin asked.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Zheng said. "Aunt Jing is avenging your biological mother. Even if you, a daughter, don't support her, you still go to cause trouble. Isn't it unfilial?"
