When the news of Boss Liu's death reached Prince Cheng's Mansion, Lin Zhixiu showed a faint smile.
…This man’s property, which he worked hard to accumulate all his life, was destroyed in ashes;
You don’t know whether your sweetheart is alive or dead, and you don’t understand his feelings;
The Huang family suffered a disaster;
He was killed by his wife who respected him all his life;
His wife and son can enjoy the property he left behind;
The face is sad, but the heart is ecstatic...
Dying with so much regret and unwillingness... is the biggest punishment for him!
"Axiu, when are you going to kill Mrs. Huang?" Li Cheng was beside him, peeling pine nuts for her with his own hands, and asked in a low voice.
"The man is in our hands, so there is no rush. We want to see what the Huang family says!"
The fact that they were in danger at Baoxiang Temple was not reported to the outside world.
After Wu Dong settled everything in the temple, he brought Nan Yan back.
When Nan Yan entered the door, she knelt down in front of Lin Zhixiu to plead guilty. She was injured and her face was pale.
Beifei was also there, crying, kneeling with his sister and not daring to speak.
Dongyun, Xiyu, and Aunt Song, who served her closely, got along very well with each other on weekdays. At this time, they softly begged for mercy.
In fact, Lin Zhixiu didn't blame Nan Yan in her heart. After all, even she didn't expect this.
It's just that Li Cheng felt sad in his heart, with all kinds of uneasiness, self-blame, rage, resentment, etc., and his emotions were mixed. His face didn't look good. He was worrying about gains and losses, and he was extremely nervous.
I wish I could wake up in the middle of the night and touch her to see if she was there...
And he didn't dare to show it in front of her, so he just found his own faults and got angry at every turn.
If Nan Yan were here... it would irritate him, right?
So, he sighed and said, "Nan Yan, the prince is furious about this matter. At present, I really can't intercede with you."
Nan Yan was sobbing: "Please don't drive me out, I'll punish you no matter what..."
"You have been injured, so you have been punished... But if you hang around here all day, the prince will have a bad temper again, and the men will not be serious, but it will be troublesome..."
"My Majesty, this incident was caused by the slave's carelessness. It is appropriate for the prince to punish the slave. My Majesty... if something happens to you, I will not be able to forgive you even if I die..."
She was so sensible, and Lin Zhixiu was even more considerate. He personally stepped forward and helped a few people up, "Nan Yan, you should go out first... go to Uncle Fu's place."
Nan Yan cried: "Mother, I can't bear to leave you! There are also Aunt Song and these sisters. I promise there will be no next time..."
"Don't worry, listen to me first... Among you, you are the oldest. Originally, I planned to start arranging your marriage and future after staying in the palace. Now, just in time, you follow Uncle Fu,
Learn how to live a stable life, and then you can take care of my dowry outside."
"Mother, Nan Yan is not in a hurry to get married. I have to serve you no matter what. You have a little master!" Nan Yan still refused to leave.
"I understand what you are thinking. However, you have to hide away for a while. You can go to Uncle Fu's place, or you can go to uncle's place! I will call you back when the prince feels better."
Nan Yan was at ease, "Then... I'll go to my uncle's house! I happen to have a young master here, so I'll go and learn how to take care of the children!"
"Okay! Then clean up and go."
Li Cheng sent someone to the front study: "Your Majesty, the prince said that Mr. Lin Jilin is here and will come over immediately."
A few girls gave her a brief tidying up, and then Li Chenggong came with Lin Ji.
Lin Ji looked very bad and came up to salute Lin Zhixiu: "Your Majesty."
Lin Zhixiu: "Uncle is here, please sit down."
Li Cheng sullenly sat down next to Lin Zhixiu and said nothing.
Lin Ji sat down silently, feeling a little embarrassed. After getting into a good mood, he asked, "Empress...has your third aunt tricked you?"
Lin Zhixiu looked at him silently.
His expression was sincere and his tone was solemn, "Xiu'er... Empress! I know that you are smart and decisive, and know the importance of doing things. Mr. Huang, if you have committed such a big thing, I will never tell her what you want to do to her."
Qing. At home, your grandfather and third uncle also mean the same thing..."
"Uncle, do you know that it was the Huang family who assigned Aunt Huang and Aunt Huang to kill my mother?"
Lin Ji was shocked: "Is this so? Your mother, she is not..."
"I was young at the time. Although you are an uncle, you are no different from a stranger. I couldn't protect myself, so the matter was not exposed! The evidence is all in my hands!"
Lin Ji was stunned for a long time, "But...why is that? Huang seems to be your mother's cousin."
"This is a long story. Nowadays, it doesn't make much sense. In short, Mr. Huang deserves to die!"
When Lin Ji heard this, his head was spinning. "I understand... Xiu'er, uncle is here today and there is something else he wants to tell you... There is a man named Wang Zhong in our house who is in charge of daily purchases. His wife is in charge of daily purchases."
The warehouse in the backyard belongs to Mr. Yuan... Some time ago, Wang Zhong met a friend outside. We ate, drank, and had fun with him, and we were generous. That person always asked him about you, intentionally or unintentionally. "
When Li Cheng heard this, he stood up and said, "What do you want to ask about A Xiu?!"
Lin Zhixiu pulled him and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, listen to what the uncle has to say."
Li Cheng pursed his lips and glared at Lin Ji, but he sat down obediently.
Lin Ji saw that his niece could easily influence the prince, and he became even more cautious.
"That man was very skillful in asking questions. Wang Zhongyuan didn't pay much attention to it. After drinking too much, he told some of what he knew. But you are a young lady, what can he know? I feel a little uncomfortable without the benefits.
I was embarrassed, so I went home and asked his wife what she wanted to know. His wife was a cautious person, so she felt something was wrong, so she told Ms. Liu. It concerns you, Ms. Liu didn't dare to look down on it, so she reported to me..."
He looked at Li Cheng, and then said: "As for what happened in the past few days... I felt something was wrong, so I sent people to keep an eye on it, but there is no news at the moment."
Li Cheng looked at Lin Zhixiu and was very angry. Why are so many people targeting Axiu?
It seems that the attack was not ruthless enough!
Lin Ji said, "I will continue to watch..."
Li Cheng said, "Let my people follow up!"
Lin Ji said: "Yes, Your Majesty... Well, no matter what, the empress is a concubine. No matter how protective you are of Your Majesty, there are rules there. Your Majesty, since you have made this decision, you must treat Princess Heqing as a concubine."
We have to maintain one or two things. What's more, Princess Heqing's family is not completely powerless. Therefore, my dear, you have to do things right and not be afraid of criticism. Now, just like the Huang family..."
When Li Cheng heard this, he thought he was asking for love: "What do you mean?"
Lin Ji said: "The Huang family has been abolished! What is important now is how to deal with it properly? Don't let others take the blame."
Lin Zhixiu said: "Uncle, what do you mean?"
Lin Ji said: "If we kill her now, there will be too many strange aspects. It is better to let her get sick, return to the Lin family, stay closed for a few months, and then die of illness. Something like this happened to the Huang family, and everything was in chaos."
So whatever is wrong with her is normal. If it can be solved normally, don't use extraordinary means to avoid being traced by someone who is interested and causing a lot of trouble."
Li Cheng said: "I am not afraid of any trouble! Besides, the evidence in my hand is all complete."
Lin Ji said: "Your Majesty, even if you say so... But if you take out the evidence in your hand, the incident will be exposed. No matter what the reason is, it will cause people to discuss it, which will be detrimental to you and the empress. Another thing, she
If I die now, will it involve abuse of lynching? If the emperor knows about it, there will definitely be trouble...especially bad for the empress."
After hearing this, Li Cheng thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, and did not refute it.
Lin Zhixiu said: "Well, since uncle said so, I will leave her to you. You can watch and do it. If it takes too long, I will take action."
Lin Ji said: "Don't worry, Madam! Leave this matter to me!"
After Lin Ji left, Li Cheng said to Lin Zhixiu: "What Lin Ji said...could it be done with the Qing family? We also need to check her family. We can't just passively accept it..."
"Oh, you can use your brain!" Lin Zhixiu smiled and touched his head.
"You always know how to use your brain, okay? Otherwise, how could I have won so many battles?" He leaned close to her, begging for praise.
"Well, you are very wise and foolish..." She giggled and teased him.
Li Cheng tilted his head and looked at her. He was not very satisfied with this praise and felt that it was not a good word.
——At this moment, Princess Heqing was complaining to the girl Qiuxiang, "The woman she rescued didn't provide anything useful at all! She just said that the bitch sent her to the nunnery, but she stole it.
It’s true that he’s selling his own medicine. I can only say that that bitch... has vicious methods in doing things and doesn’t care about sisterhood. For just such a small thing... she still puts in so much effort and spends so much money!"
Qiuxiang said, "The prince will come back later and let's see what he says."
"How do you say that!? Huh, this Lin Zhixuan is not a good bird! My brother even came to ask me for money! It must be a lot of money..."
Her family's financial situation is pretty good.
When my grandmother was alive, the imperial court supported her. After her death, a large part of her food estate was taken back.
Therefore, the difference in the family's property whether the grandmother is present or not is not small.
In her father’s generation, there are several uncles and aunts, and in her generation, there are also many brothers and sisters.
Grandma’s property behind her back is watched by everyone!
That is to say, her grandmother loved her when she was alive and gave her more jewelry and gadgets privately. However, the real money and property could not favor her too much.
Her mother's dowry had to be divided among her brothers and sisters, so what she received was limited.
Therefore, her dowry is not bad, but it is not easy to spend too much money.
I originally thought that with her family background, it would be easy to create a nunnery girl, right?
But I didn't expect that just replacing this person named Lin Zhixuan would cost ten thousand taels of silver!
The top courtesan in the red building in the capital probably only costs this much, right?
After summarizing the news from several places, my brother analyzed that the important evidence may be in the south...
This is a bit difficult to get over... If you don't go, everything you did before will be in vain.
Go... to real money!
My brother has a wife and children, and his private room is limited. Therefore, he can only reach out to her and ask for some, and she can't say no...
Seeing how much of my private home has suddenly disappeared, I feel a little uneasy.
————Huang returned to the Lin family.
She was unconscious. She got out of the car and lay on the door panel. Several people carried her into Lin's house.
Lin Ji and Lin Hui followed behind with bad expressions.
"Put down other things first, take the manager with you, and sort out the affairs behind her as soon as possible. How much property does she still have... and what else needs to be settled with the Huang family. Don't be careless!" Lin Ji whispered to Lin Hui.
Lin Hui looked at the woman lying on the board bitterly. It would be better to die early and have more money left. "Yes, brother, don't worry!"
"If anything happens, don't tell mother. These women in the family are really outrageous!"
"Um."
"Tell Lin Tang that his wife will be pregnant as soon as possible. On Lin Zhirong's side, we will go to Wang's house tomorrow, before the wedding! Hurry up and finish this... It's only one year for you, but three years for them! The matter is done
, just let her..."
"Well..." Lin Hui said in his heart, who will keep her for a year?
