Chapter 38 Haven’t found it yet?

People's words are scary

Lin Ximeng did not panic, but Zhao Liangdi worried about gains and losses all day long.

"Have those four people not been found yet?"

"How can a good living person disappear for no reason? This is so ridiculous!"

Aunt Zhao lowered her head.

"I didn't come out after entering Bibo Garden, but my servant has searched Bibo Garden inside and outside, and found nothing."

"How can it be"

Zhao Liangdi still didn't believe it.

Those four people were sent by her to scare Lin Ximeng by pretending to be ghosts.

The original plan was to scare Lin Ximeng into getting sick, and then bribe the doctor to delay the illness.

When the master comes back, that bitch will shed her skin even if she doesn't die.

Who would have thought something would go wrong like this.

"She has recovered now, but I haven't found my person yet."

The loss of control over the backyard made Zhao extremely panicked.

"It must have fallen into Lin Ximeng's hands. That bitch is doing one thing on the outside and another behind the scenes. She must be taking this opportunity to blackmail me."

Zhao finally got smart for once.

That's what Lin Ximeng thought.

——

Abandoned greenhouse.

Lin Ximeng came unexpectedly late at night.

She held the jagged steel whip in her own hand and whipped each of them ten times without saying a word.

The four people, who were already in a panic and were in a desperate situation, collapsed immediately, rolling on the spot and screaming.

"Dagui, shut their mouths!"

"Dagui, keep fighting!"

After receiving the order, Da Gui used a smelly rag to gag everyone's mouths, took the master's steel whip and continued to beat them.

The four people went from howling to moaning and begging for mercy, to finally dying with only one breath left.

Lin Ximeng called to stop.

Sitting on the abandoned flower stand, I flicked the dead leaves that fell on the skirt.

"What now? Have you figured it out?"

"I was given by the Queen to the master, and I am the most favored in the backyard. If anything happens to me, even your Zhao Liangdi will not be left behind."

"What's more, I have just performed my filial piety on behalf of my master in front of the Queen. Even the Queen will never refuse to save her."

It means that although I am a concubine, my status is different from that of an ordinary concubine, and I still have a few trump cards in my hand.

Sure enough, the four of them began to hesitate.

Lin Ximeng added fuel to the fire: "What Zhao can give you, I can also give you. At least I am still favored now, and the master will be back soon."

Hearing about the master, hearing about favor, he looked at the steel whip in Dagui's hand.

A smart person knows what to choose now.

But there is another stumbling block. If they betray Zhao Liangdi, they will also die miserably.

No one dared to say anything.

Lin Ximeng slowly stood up and pinched a wild primrose flower from a flowerpot.

"I know you want to live."

"So if you don't tell me, you will die now."

The four of them were completely shattered.

One person starts first, and then everyone starts talking.

Lin Ximeng learned the truth of the matter, and it turned out to be Zhao Liangdi.

She wanted to kill herself, but she didn't want to take the blame. She wanted to blame the Zhou family for this.

"Should I call her stupid or should I call her smart?"

"Even if she pretends to be a ghost and has four people, does she really think that this backyard has become her world?"

"Four of you, if you can extinguish all the lights in my bedroom instantly, you are considered capable."

Lin Ximeng smiled.

"Fortunately, I pretended to be faint and caught you in the chaos, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch you."

"Miss Lin, please spare us. We really can't help ourselves."

A maid was dying and begging for mercy.

"rest assured"

Lin Ximeng smiled brightly, "I keep my word and won't kill you."

——

Lin Ximeng left and someone quickly brought food over.

Qingqing was confused: "Master, what should we do next?"

"The next step is to wait. The master will be back soon. We won't wait too long."

"Then Zhao Liangdi..."

If during this period, Zhao Liangdi thought of other ways to deal with her master, their lives would be equally difficult.

"so"

Lin Ximeng was leaning beside the bed in depression, holding her chin and looking out the window.

"It's been a hard time these days"

"Otherwise, you'd better beg the Queen," Zi Jing reminded in a low voice.

Lin Ximeng sneered: "I was trying to scare them. The Queen has many capable people around her. When I die, I will still have Miss Zhang, Miss Li and Miss Wang. Who am I?"

Qingqing sent new news.

"The Queen often summons Mrs. Xinguo Gong recently"

Lin Ximeng waved her hand: "These are not what I should care about."

That should be what the master is concerned about.

She is a little concubine, so it is good if she can protect herself. If she has some free time, she might as well think about how to climb up.

Take care of unnecessary things.

——

Lin Ximeng's guess was right, Zhao Liangdi really started to cause trouble.

March 18th, the sky is sunny.

Zhao Liangdi held a flower-viewing banquet at Jade Lake and asked everyone in the backyard to attend. She also imitated the ladies outside and sent out invitations.

Lin Ximeng played with the red and gold-gilded post, her heart sinking a little bit.

"How about master complaining about illness? Empress Liangdi can't force a sick person to go."

"You just said it's not easy yet", Qingqing was very worried.

Lin Ximeng put down the post.

"Do you think that's possible?"

She banged her head and walked around the room several times, but finally she was helpless.

"I remember that my master rewarded me with two silver fox skins. They are not of good quality and not very big. Please bring them to me."

Qingqing bit her lip and quickly brought it over.

Lin Ximeng tied them on the left and right sides of her thighs, then found a large piece of cotton to pad her hips, and finally wore a fluffy jacket and a willow-green long skirt.

She looked in the mirror again and again, and after several adjustments she finally couldn't see it.

“At any rate, I’m still prepared.”

"As long as I can come back alive, I have nothing to fear."
