The assassination of King Xiao on the night of his wedding was definitely the first major event in the capital, but...
The fact that King Xiao sent the assassin to Dali Temple, the Overwatch Council and the privy envoy made the emperor lose face. Although the emperor did not say anything in public, all the powerful ministers were human beings. Dare to discuss this matter privately.
This matter is like the emperor's new clothes. These high-ranking officials understand it in their hearts, but everyone pretends to be confused. They don't mention a word, as if this incident had never happened. Instead, it was Butler Cao who sent the servants of the Lin family back. things that get people talking.
"Mrs. Lin's doing this is really stupid. How easy is Xiao Wang to fool? She really thinks that Xiao Wang is the same as the daughter her sister left behind, and she can do whatever she says?"
"What is the number one charitable person in the capital, why is she willing to marry and become a successor in order to take care of her sister's daughter? It turned out to be a fake, but she was so cruel inside. This time she finally ripped off her beauty skin."
"Mrs. Lin thought that Xiao Wang was as good as that brainless eldest young lady. I'll see how she ends this time."
When such a thing happens, there are people who fall into the trap and follow others' advice, and there are people who think carefully with their brains.
"How could Mrs. Lin do such a stupid thing? It's not like Mrs. Lin's style. Mrs. Lin has been doing things flawlessly for so many years. She knows that she is flattering her ex-wife's daughter, but who doesn't say a word to her."
"Xu is worried that the eldest sister of the Lin family will marry into the palace. She can't control it, so she wants to start from the servants."
"Who knows what's going on, but it's just a confused account. Xiao Wangfu sent people to the Lin family and slapped the Lin family in the face in public. Even if Mrs. Lin didn't do it, she did it."
…
Everyone has their own guesses and opinions, but what is certain is that everyone is waiting for Mrs. Lin to act, and Mrs. Lin is explaining to Lin Xiang at this time.
"Master, after all these years, don't you know who I am? I don't like the ninth day, but I won't do anything in such trivial matters. I left the deed of sale to accompany the house, this is not an obvious reason. Are you going to be caught?" Mrs. Lin's eyes were slightly red, and tears were rolling in her eyes, as if she was about to fall.
Such a Mrs. Lin is undoubtedly beautiful and pitiful, so Lin Xiang couldn't help but put her in his arms, "Don't be sad, Madam, that child in the ninth grade is so arrogant that she has been wronged."
Mrs. Lin took advantage of the situation and snuggled into Lin Xiang's arms, and said aggrievedly: "What did the lord say, we are a family, it's nothing for me to be wronged a little, the most important thing is what should we do about this matter? , countless people are watching, no matter what our Lin family does, it is wrong."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin choked, tears in her eyes finally fell, but she refused to let Lin Xiang see it, but buried her face in Lin Xiang's arms, twitching her shoulders...
"Don't be sad, ma'am, I will go to Xiao Wang's mansion tomorrow. Although Xiao Wang is a prince, he can't falsely accuse the court officials." Lin Xiang firmly believed that Lin Chujiu made something out of nothing and deliberately picked it up.
Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Lin was indeed aggrieved, because she really didn't leave those deeds of deeds to accompany the house, but the deeds of deeds of deeds were no longer in Lin Chujiu's hands.
As for how these prostitution contracts got into Lin Wanting's hands, even Lin Wanting herself didn't know, so Mrs. Lin's loss was decided.
Afraid that Lin Xiang and Xiao Wang would fall out, Mrs. Lin hurriedly tugged at Lin Xiang's clothes, "Master, this is a confused account, and the subordinate's contract of sale is just a few pieces of tissue paper. At that time, Chu Jiuyi insisted that we didn't get the deed of prostitution, and we couldn't go to Xiao Wangfu to search."
Mrs. Lin had already burned the deed of prostitution, but Lin Chujiu did not have it, nor did the Lin House.
Lin Xiang frowned and nodded solemnly, "Madam is right, but our Lin family can't recognize this matter." Do they still have a face after recognizing them? This matter is so big, it's not just a matter of Mrs. Lin's face.
Mrs. Lin wiped away tears and said with a wry smile: "King Xiao made a mess, what if we don't recognize it? Could it be King Xiao's fault?"
Mrs. Lin hinted inside and out that everything was because King Xiao used power to oppress people.
Lin Xiang's expression was indeed even more ugly, but he did not insist on going to Xiao Wang's mansion to seek justice: "Forget it, just treat me as I owe that wicked obstacle, turn around and sell those servants from a distance, and send the money from the sale to Xiao Wang's mansion. , I just said that King Xiao didn't like those servants, so my Lin family sold them."
These remarks still imply that the Lin family is not at fault, and that it was Lord Xiao who made trouble unreasonably.
Mrs. Lin thought for a while and thought that this method was good, so she immediately agreed, turned around and let the housekeeper of Lin's house do it, just waited for Lin Chujiu and King Xiao to return to the door, and explained the matter at the gate, but...
King Xiao and Lin Chujiu even went into the palace to thank them, but they were both injured and pushed back, so how could they come back
Not to mention the incident of the assassin, even if there was no assassin, it is impossible for Xiao Wang to accompany Lin Chujiu back home.
On the day of returning home, Butler Cao came to Lin Chujiu early in the morning and said respectfully: "Princess, the return ceremony is ready, but the prince is unwell and cannot accompany the princess to return home." In other words, Lin Chujiu Go home alone.
"Nothing." Lin Chujiu said indifferently, "My injury has not healed, and the imperial doctor told me to rest in bed. Butler Cao sent someone to the Lin Mansion to say, saying that the prince and I were injured and could not return. The door, just go back to the door."
"This..." Butler Cao looked at Lin Chujiu who had just returned from outside, his face a little embarrassed.
Princess, please be careful when you lie. Your ruddy complexion doesn't look like someone who needs to rest in bed.
"Butler Cao can rest assured that my father and Mrs. Lin will understand. After all, the prince and I haven't entered the palace to thank you." Lin Chujiu took the handkerchief handed by Agate, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then He motioned Steward Cao to go down.
Butler Cao had no choice but to report the matter to King Xiao and ask Xiao Tianyao to make up his mind. After Xiao Tianyao listened, he raised his hand and said, "Let her go."
Lin Chujiu wants to break up with the Lin Mansion, no matter if it is true or false, he will do it!
"Yes." Although Butler Cao had doubts in his heart, he could do whatever the master told him to do.
Butler Cao ordered his servants to put the gift back in the warehouse, and then sent someone to the Lin House to report it, so that the people in the Lin House would not wait for a long time. After finally finishing all the trivial matters and was about to take a sip of tea to rest, the personal soldiers of Xiao Wangfu hurriedly came to report: "Cao Steward, it's not good, Cao Lin has an accident..."
What
Butler Cao jumped up violently, and the cup he had just held in his hand fell to the ground with a snap. But Butler Cao had no intention of taking care of him, but asked the person from the past anxiously: "What's wrong with Cao Lin?"
Cao Lin is the only son of Butler Cao.
