Song Jianing was in so much pain, the back of her head was rubbed and rubbed, and it hurt...
She subconsciously pushed the bad hand, but the little hand was only halfway stretched out, and suddenly someone grabbed it. The unfamiliar and rough palm made Song Jianing completely awake. He instinctively looked back and saw a broad chest, wearing a white t-shirt. She raised her head in a daze, and unexpectedly bumped into a pair of sharp and indifferent black eyes. The man lowered his head slightly, with long eyebrows and starry eyes. It was the man who was on the same boat today, who was suspected to be Duke Wei.
Song Jianing blinked in confusion, why is he here
"You were beaten by a bad guy, and you have a bag on the back of your head. I'll help you reduce the swelling." Guo Boyan sat on the ground, holding Song Jianing's shoulder with one hand, and continued to gently rub the bag on the back of her head with the other.
Only then did Song Jianing realize the postures of the two. She was sitting sideways on the man's lap, on the lap of someone who was suspected to be Guo Xiao's father!
Song Jianing's buttocks seemed to be scalded by fire, and Song Jianing stood up without even thinking about it.
Guo Boyan is in a good mood now. Lin Shi, who took off his hat to reveal his true face, is even more beautiful than he imagined. It is not an ordinary beauty, but that kind of immortal figure who is alluring the country and the city, and such a beauty will soon disappear. will be his woman. He loved Wu Jiwu, Guo Boyan saw Lin's beloved daughter more and more, and Wei Jin led Lin to persuade him. He was idle and had nothing to do. Seeing Song Jianing lying pitifully on the ground, he took the initiative to pick up the girl and relieve her swelling.
"Don't move." Holding down the girl who was afraid of him, Guo Boyan held Song Jianing's small hand and let her feel the bag on the back of her head.
Song Jianing took a deep breath in pain, and finally remembered that she seemed to have been hit by someone. She felt panicked. Song Jianing immediately looked around to find her mother. She first saw Qiuyue who had collapsed on the ground. She turned her eyes halfway around, and was startled to see that her mother was wearing a mask. Standing dozens of steps away in a man's robe, with his back to this side, beside his mother was another man who was on the same boat when he came.
Song Jianing was full of doubts, what happened
Guo Boyan rubbed her head and explained in a low voice: "There was a bad guy who wanted to bully your mother, I drove him away, and now your mother wants to repay me, I will ask the entourage to discuss the thank you gift with her." In his eyes, Song Jianing She's just an eight or nine-year-old girl, ignorant, so Guo Boyan used a tone of coaxing a child.
But Song Jianing's naive appearance hides the heart of an adult. She looked at her mother from a distance, and her small brows slowly wrinkled. After a long while, Song Jianing didn't rush to avoid the middle-aged man behind him. Since the other party was fooling her as a child, Song Jianing blinked and asked innocently, "Yesterday, the master gave a lecture and taught us to show kindness without repaying it. Why do you need to thank you for saving us?"
Guo Boyan choked, looking at the girl's watery almond eyes, he responded accordingly: "I didn't want it, it was your mother who insisted on giving it."
Song Jianing glanced at her mother in the distance, and didn't quite believe it. If this person really saved them, her mother would definitely reward her, but why did her mother hand her over to a strange man and go so far to discuss it? Just some polite words, there is no need to avoid her at all. Leaving this aside, Song Jianing continued to ask ignorantly, "Who are you? Qiuyue said you look like an official."
Guo Boyan smiled, touched the top of the girl's head and said, "I am the governor sent here by the emperor, and also the Duke Wei of the capital. Do you know what the governor and the prince mean?"
Song Jianing's heart skipped a beat. She planned to live with her mother for the rest of her life. She would never have anything to do with Liang Shao or Guo Xiao again. It was best not to see each other for the rest of her life. Guo Xiao's father-in-law
On the other side, Wei Jin is also persuading the Lin family with good words: "Madam, have you heard of the Duke Wei's mansion? When Emperor Gaozu led his troops to conquer the world, our old prince was the most powerful person by Gaozu's side. The fierce general is the founding hero of our Great Zhou Dynasty. When Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne, the first person to be named was our old prince. After the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he continued to reuse my country’s prince, and also named the prince’s sister as Concubine Shu. According to personal communication, the emperor has to call our father-in-law a brother-in-law."
"... Mrs. Fubo, I went early. Our grandfather has never remarried, and there is no concubine in the house. As long as your wife is willing, you will be the only one in our grandfather's backyard. Qian doted on one? Besides, this is not only good for your wife, but also for Ling Qianjin, with the support of the grandfather, what kind of uncle do you want to choose for her in the future? Wouldn’t it be better than staying in a small county?”
"Okay, let's not talk about glory and wealth, let's talk about peace and life, the lady's beauty is outstanding, so that when the daughter grows up, she must also be a charming appearance. Poor life, that's all because there is no one to support..."
Lin Shi frowned, and when he heard it, he didn't give any answer.
Wei Jin said everything he should have said. Seeing that Song Jianing was awake over there, he sighed and finally said to Lin Shi: "I just said what I said from the bottom of my heart, Madam think about it carefully, but don't blame me for not reminding you, our prince. Your grandfather has a bad temper, you agree now, he must pity his wife, but you have to wait until you have angered the grandfather before you are afraid to go back, and the grandfather may not appreciate it."
Lin Shi pursed his lips.
"Mother..." Song Jianing was finally free, and hurriedly ran here.
Lin Shi hurriedly turned around, seeing that her daughter was fine, she ran a few steps quickly and hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, and the two mothers comforted each other.
Wei Jin silently walked around to the master, and whispered back to persuade the result.
Guo Boyan's expression did not change, his black eyes stared at Lin's slender figure, he was determined to win, his hands behind his back: "You go back to the city first and buy a Beizi of a similar style."
Wei Jin took orders and left, and two hours later, he brought back three bean-green robes, Qiuyue picked out the one that most resembled Lin's, and Fu Lin went to the depths of the peach blossoms to change clothes. After changing it, Guo Boyan didn't pester Lin anymore, and when he returned to the boat, he even stayed outside the awning of the boat politely, only before Lin disembarked, quietly beside her and said, "We'll talk about it in the future."
Lin Shi's brows knitted together, her expression unpleasant.
Song Jianing, who was being led by her mother, also heard it. She resisted and didn't lift her head. She got into her own mule cart. She leaned into her mother's arms and asked worriedly, "Mother, what did they tell you? Retribution?" They are all men from the Guo family, Guo Xiao once called her by name when he glanced at her, but now the Guild of Wei Guo also has a lot of thought for his mother
Lin's heart was full of bitterness, but she didn't want her daughter to worry, so she perfunctory softly.
Song Jianing couldn't ask any questions, so he lowered his head decadently. She was worried about her mother, but so what. If Duke Wei really wanted to bully her mother, their orphans and widowed mothers would be powerless and powerless. They would either work hard or accept their fate, and there was no other way.
Song Jianing was worried.
Lin held her ignorant daughter in her arms. Only in this way would she have a reason to persuade herself to continue living. If she hadn't thought about her daughter, Guo Boyan would have threatened her obediently to be his concubine. She committed suicide. After worrying about Guo Boyan, Lin thought of Hu Zhuang again. Hu Zhuang lived in a neighboring county. How did he come to Peach Blossom Island so coincidentally
Brother Hu...
settle down.
Lin's face was getting paler and paler, and Hu's heart was wrong with their mothers. Now that Hu Zhuang has disappeared without a sound, Hu's will definitely suspect her over time. For no reason, the Hu family would also unite with her younger brother to kill her. Once she was regarded as the murderer of Hu Zhuang, how could the Hu family easily quit
In the Song family, she was destined to not be able to stay.
~
Song House, Mrs. Hu came back after lunch at her parents' house. She kept paying attention to the movement at the door. When she heard that Mrs. Lin and her daughter were back, she greeted Mrs. Lin as if nothing had happened. His expression was as usual, as if nothing had happened. Hu Shi was suspicious, and said in a friendly greeting: "My sister-in-law is back, how are the peach blossoms on the island?"
Lin Shi smiled lightly: "It's pretty, and An An still asks me to take her there another day."
Hu looked down at Song Jianing.
Song Jianing cooperated with her mother and grinned.
Hu's mind suddenly drifted away, and he thought to himself, could it be that the younger brother missed the opportunity
Eager to inquire about the situation, the Hu family of four returned to their parents' home early the next morning to visit relatives. The second master Song did not want to go. Hu was worried that her husband would go to the big house to hook up with her while she was not at home, so he just dragged people away. Hu was impatient, and kept urging the coachman. The whip in the coachman's hand was swishing, and the mule ran fast. Unexpectedly, it collided with an oncoming carriage. The mule was safe, but the carriage was knocked over and fell into the side of the road. ditch!
The Hu family of four got out of the car with white faces.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, you can't die!"
In the overturned carriage, there was a sudden cry of grief from a young man. When he heard that the dead person was dead, Hu was so frightened that his legs were fighting. Second Master Song stretched out his hand to help his daughter-in-law, but his legs were also weak, and the couple fell to the ground together. .
An hour later, someone hurried to the Song family and reported to the Lin family: "It's not good, it's not good, your uncle's family killed an old man and was dragged to the yamen, now the magistrate is on trial. !"
Lin Shi was shocked. Although she had decided to sever ties with the second room, from the outsiders' point of view, the two rooms were still one family. She immediately ordered the concierge to go to the county government to inquire about the situation. It didn't take long for the concierge to come back, panting and saying: "The sentence has been sentenced, the second master and the second wife each beat a hundred boards, the eldest young master and the eldest girl each received 20, and three years in prison..."
Lin Shi couldn't speak for a long time, Song Jianing stood beside his mother dumbfounded, completely stupid, how could this happen, the second uncle's family in the previous life just got poorer and did not provoke a lawsuit.
Although shocked, deep down, Song Jianing was a little relieved. When both her father and mother were gone, her uncle and aunt didn't like her, so she relied on her second uncle's family as close relatives, trusting her mother's dowry to her second aunt to take care of, in the end, the couple quietly took her to please her. Liang Shao…
Now that the second uncle's family has been killed, is it considered the reincarnation of heaven
Just when Song Jianing felt that God still had eyes, Wei Jin was returning to Guo Boyan in a house in the county: "Don't worry, the old man is dead, his son has won a sum of money in vain, and he will never dare to talk nonsense about it. Going out, the government will definitely punish him for blackmail."
Guo Boyan nodded. These are all trivial matters. He didn't pay attention to the two troublemakers. It was just a small gift to the Lin family.
Next…
Guo Boyan swept out the window, hoping that the night would come early so that he could receive Lin's "thank you".
