Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 170 Strike while the iron is hot

   Lin's family returned from Tianyuan Temple to the General's Mansion and waited for her daughter to buy her some appetizing snacks. The left waiter did not come, the right waiter did not come, and she waited and waited for the news of the shocking horse.

   She didn't even bother to tell the old lady, she hurried out with someone, and met the messenger outside the gate.

   The servant who reported the news was from the Jingwangfu.

   "Don't worry, Mrs. Lin, the frightened horse has been brought under control and no one has been hurt."

   Lin Shi was greatly relieved and asked anxiously, "What about my daughter?"

   "Second girl is fine, our prince just happened to send the second girl back."

   "That's good." Lin Shi patted his heart and was suddenly stunned, "Why did your son send Ah Hao back?"

   The servant who reported the letter laughed and said, "When the horses in your house were frightened and ran wild, our prince happened to see them nearby, so we arranged for someone to help control the frightened horses, and sent the little ones to send you a letter, so as to save you from worrying."

   "So it is." Lin nodded, thinking that Prince Jing was very thoughtful.

   "Then I would like to thank the eldest son." Lin received the favor, and only then did he go to the old lady to tell the shocking thing.

   The old lady frowned when she heard it: "Our horses are all trained, how can Hao Duan be startled?"

   Lin also felt that something was wrong: "I'll find out when Ah Hao comes back."

   Lin Hao returned to the General's Mansion with the orb and went directly to the old lady's courtyard.

   Hearing the maid's report that the second girl had arrived, the old lady and Mrs. Lin put down their tea cups together, Mrs. Lin got up in a hurry to meet them.

   "Alright, you're back!"

   The wrist that Lin's grasped hurt a little, but Lin Hao didn't care and said with a smile, "Grandma, mother, I'm fine."

   Mrs. Lin pulled her over and sat down, and the question she had been holding back for a long time came up: "How can you be so scared?"

   There was a coachman, and Lin Hao knew that he couldn't hide it: "A sharp stone was stuck in the horse's butt, and the horse was startled when it was in pain."

   Lin's face sank, and he patted the table: "This must be man-made!"

The old lady's calloused fingers rubbed the teacup unconsciously, and the tea in the cup was already cold: "This is strange, is it possible that he is still the prince? But our family has already withdrawn from the relationship with the king of Wei, even if the prince is against the king, it should not be calculated. All right?"

Lin stroked his forehead and had another opinion: "Could it have something to do with what I encountered at Tianyuan Temple today? I found the headless female corpse by accident, maybe the murderer got the news and took revenge on me. ."

  The old lady flew over with a knife: "My daughter has reached the age of marriage, can you curb your curiosity in the future?"

   I went to the last incense and took a flower **** to dig out the body. Is this too embarrassing to call it an accidental discovery?

   Lin's thoughts jumped fast. Hearing the old lady say this, he muttered: "It's strange to say, the matchmaker who came to propose marriage to Ah Hao at the beginning of the spring almost stepped on the threshold of our house. Why have all of them disappeared recently?"

The old lady could see clearly: "What's strange about this. Now the whole capital knows that the gangster who kidnapped Chan'er was dragged back after being subdued by Ah Hao. Most people don't want to see that their daughter-in-law is the most powerful in the family. "

   Lin sighed: "Yes."

   Isn't that Ah Hao's marriage going to be delayed again? The two daughters have had twists and turns in their marriage.

Seeing that his mother was worried about her marriage, Lin Hao calmly brought the topic back: "I don't think Jingma has anything to do with Tianyuan Temple. It took half a day from the discovery of the headless female body to the start of the horse, even if the murderer was in Tianyuan Temple. , I got the news at the first time, and it was too late to design a shocking horse in such a short time."

   "Ah Hao is right, there should be no connection between the two." The old lady glanced at her daughter with a heavy heart, "Could it be that he is really the prince?"

Lin Hao didn't want the two elders to be entangled in this matter, and said vaguely: "On the way the Prince Jing took me back, he mentioned that so many officials have been patrolling the streets recently, because he found that some gangsters wanted to make trouble while the Yuliu messenger was visiting. , this shocking horse may also be their handwriting.”

  Lin's puzzled: "What can the frightened horse affect the Yuliu messenger?"

   "Mother, think about it, if there are too many troubles like Jingma, the envoy of Yuliu will feel that the security of our Dazhou capital is too poor, which will damage Dazhou's prestige."

   "These people are really hateful!"

  The old lady was thoughtful: "Prince Jing's son is well-informed. Speaking of which, it was thanks to the Prince Jing that nothing happened this time. Wanqing, you are ready to thank you and go to Prince Jing's mansion in person tomorrow."

   Lin responded immediately.

   At this time, in Prince Jing's mansion, Qi Shuo was talking about Lin Hao in the house of Prince Jing and his wife.

   "My son was frightened when he saw the horses in the general's mansion, and suddenly discovered something."

   "What's the matter?" Princess Jing asked curiously.

   Qi Shuo said with a sullen face: "I suddenly realized that I was very worried about Lin Er girl."

   He said it quite calmly, but it was like a thunderstorm that knocked King Jing and Princess Jing blinded.

   The couple looked at each other, and after a while, Princess Jing hesitated and said, "A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. You and Miss Lin have known each other for so many years, and it is only natural to worry about her being in danger—"

  Qi Shuo interrupted Princess Jing: "What my son means is, I found that I am happy with Second Lady Lin."

   There is no possibility of misinterpretation.

   Princess Jing looked at King Jing blankly.

   King Jing coughed lightly: "Shuo'er, do you want to marry Miss Lin Er?"

   Qi Shuo's eyes drooped slightly: "But my son is worried that the General's Mansion will dislike me and have a heart attack."

   Princess Jing was angry: "Why do they dislike—"

   "It's not impossible. The old lady of the Lin family and Mrs. Lin are both people who love their children, and they don't care about family wealth as much as ordinary people..." King Jing analyzed rationally.

  Qi Shuo said calmly: "Then the king said, what should I do?"

  King Jing subconsciously comforted his son: "Today, the General's Mansion was shocked. Fortunately, there was no accident due to your help. The General's Mansion is grateful to you. If you go to propose a marriage, maybe it will be successful..."

   Princess Jing became more and more wrong: "Wait a minute, are you going to propose marriage?"

   seems to have skipped a very important step.

   She thought hard about which step to take, and saw her husband and son all looking at her.

   "Timing is very important, and it is most likely to succeed when the iron is hot." King Jing said earnestly.

   Qi Shuo nodded: "Father is right."

   King Jing was a little proud.

   In this respect, the princess is not as good as him.

   "When are you going to propose marriage?" Princess Jing felt a little confused.

   King Jing looked at Qi Shuo.

  Qi Shuo intimate reminder: "Strike while the iron is hot."

   King Jing: "Go tomorrow!"

When Qi Shuo left with the corners of her lips raised, Princess Jing took a sip of the cold tea and suddenly reacted: "No, why is it going to propose marriage tomorrow? It shouldn't be that we should first discuss whether Miss Lin is suitable for us. daughter-in-law?"

   King Jing was stagnant, resolutely refusing to admit that he had forgotten this important step, and said in a deep tone: "Who made your son like it."
