Lin Zhihen invited garden masters to design the inner courtyard of the Minister of War's Mansion. It is said that it was for Mrs. Lin.

The moon gate in the inner courtyard faces the flower pond. Even standing outside the courtyard, you can feel the beautiful scenery like flowers.

When the lotus leaves are officially stretched out, they are most prosperous.

Mrs. Lin and Lin Zhihen stood opposite each other, and the aura swarming between them blew away the pool of silence.

Mrs. Lin looked at the man in front of her: "Was the wet nurse who hurt Sister Jiao 17 years ago your arrangement?"

"Today, do you want to settle old scores with me?" Lin Zhihen was startled at first, and then said angrily, "What does that have to do with your current efforts to please Xu Rongrong?"

"Really?" Mrs. Lin asked, "You just answer me, don't you?"

"Yes! I arranged it! So what's wrong!" Lin Zhihen's eyes widened, "I just gave you a step up, do you think I don't know your thoughts? You have been accustomed to being superior since you were a child. Not to mention she is a noble girl in the capital, but she is also favored and pampered by others in the Chu clan. If you really go home with Li, do you have the face to face them?"

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she was trembling with anger: "Beast! That's your biological daughter!"

"That's not for you?! Do you think I don't feel sorry for my daughter?" Lin Zhihen yelled back, "But so what? She has no memory at all. She only needs to cry a little to keep you. This is The only way I could do it!"

"Lin Zhihen! You deserve to be a father!"

"What about you? If you go to please someone who is against your son and daughter, wouldn't you be a mother in vain!" Lin Zhihen's eyes turned red. "When Sister Jiao wakes up, she will know that her mother would rather give the thousand-year-old ginseng to her enemies." I don’t want to replenish her body and look good, so what does she think?!”

Lin Zhihen's shameless look made Mrs. Lin calm down instantly.

There was no point in arguing with such a person.

She sneered: "When Sister Jiao was little, she was obedient and well-behaved and was loved by everyone. But now she is taught by your father to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. She has become your tool to pave the way for the Lin family, but she enjoys it... She plays with people's hearts but is narrow-minded. Instead of reflecting on her own mistakes, she harms others. Evil causes must have evil consequences. The moment she wanted to murder the owner of Ping'an County, she should have known the consequences if there was backlash! "

"Who wouldn't say that if you want to shirk responsibility? I, the Lin family, have just stumbled, so you put all the mistakes on me and blame them all." Lin Zhihen said coldly, "But don't forget, I am still the Minister of the Ministry of War with all the power! So what if Brother Ce is gone and Sister Jiao is dead? There are still young talents in our Lin clan, and I will definitely cultivate them in time!"

"Then I wish you all your wishes and success as soon as possible." After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she walked away without looking back.

She didn't go anywhere else, but went straight to Lin Jiaoyue's room.

The mirror in the room was shattered on the floor, and Lin Jiaoyue was sitting motionless on the corner of the bed, with brown ointment on her face, looking very scary.

Mrs. Lin walked over slowly and sat down beside her bed: "Does it still hurt?"

Lin Jiaoyue turned around with tears in her eyes: "Mother...how can I marry into the fourth prince's house if I'm like this?"

"..." At this time, her daughter was still thinking about marrying into the imperial palace, which made Mrs. Lin feel angry and hurt. She sighed, "My mother came here just to discuss this matter with Sister Jiao."

"Mother..." Lin Jiaoyue immediately grabbed her mother's sleeve, as if grasping the last life-saving straw.

"The most important thing for you now is to heal your wounds. As for the Fourth Prince's Mansion... Mother is going to use the imperial edict to inform His Majesty, begging him to spare you from getting married to the fourth prince." Mrs. Lin is a first-grade imperial eunuch and has direct authority in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The right to petition.

But after she finished speaking, Lin Jiaoyue was stunned. The hand that grabbed Mrs. Lin's sleeve slowly let go, with a look of disbelief in her eyes: "Why would mother do this?"

"The Fourth Highness is a prince, but he wants to take advantage of Cheng Jintong's reputation and bring the Ministry of Rites into his pocket. This shows that he is not a kind person! Apart from your father, there is no one useful in the Lin family today. You... now You are also seriously injured. If you marry into the fourth prince's house like this, he will definitely not protect you. If you do this, it is better to withdraw voluntarily, which will not only make His Majesty feel guilty about you, but also allow you to rest in peace." Mrs. Lin patiently analyzed for her daughter. Pros and cons.

After hearing this, Lin Jiaoyue's face turned colder: "After the engagement is broken off, how will the mother and father settle their daughter?"

"I will take you back to the Chu family."

"Mom...are you trying to reconcile with your father?" Lin Jiaoyue's eyes widened.

"Yes." Mrs. Lin did not deny it. "Although your uncle is now the head of the Chu family, the wife and your grandmother both left their houses and shops to my mother. If we live behind closed doors, your uncle and aunt will not tolerate us." of."

Lin Jiaoyue looked at her mother blankly. Seeing that her expression was calm and not fake, she murmured: "What should I do, brother?"

"Your father won't let me take him away, and my mother can only feel ashamed of him..." Thinking of her only son, Mrs. Lin felt like a knife...

How much she wanted to take Brother Ce away with her!But she knew that if she brought it up, Lin Zhihen would not let anyone go just to contain her!

Therefore, she could only give up Lin Yunche. After all, this world is more difficult for women than for men!What's more, she is a disfigured woman.

But Lin Jiaoyue didn't think so: "I won't leave, and mother, don't think about ridiculous things like breaking off the engagement. My daughter must marry into the fourth prince's house."

While speaking, she kept looking at Mrs. Lin, her eyes calm and emotionless.

Mrs. Lin stood up slowly: "Mom knows, then...just do as you wish."

After saying that, she slowly walked out of the door.

The background is withered and full of loneliness.

……

In Zhuxiang Yayuan, Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong finished their dinner and left.

As soon as he went out, Luo Shu came over quietly: "Brother has received news from Southern Xinjiang. The Chu guards have safely delivered the Southern Xinjiang envoy!"

Mu Rong used the flying pigeons of the Hou Mansion to deliver messages to and from Southern Xinjiang. The speed was seven or eight days faster than other carrier pigeons. Naturally, Luo Chen did not have this ability because the news he got came much later than that of the Hou Mansion. .

But for Xu Rongrong, getting the news that Chuhe was safe made her feel relieved.

However, the message sent by Luo Chen said that the guards of Chu disappeared for two days after entering southern Xinjiang without knowing their whereabouts, but after returning safely, they appeared very aggressive.In addition, the letter also mentioned that there was another wave of people who seemed to be secretly paying attention to Chu Guards' movements just like them.

But in order to rush to convey the news, they sent the letter first without detecting the other group of people.

Xu Rongrong picked up the note, put it on the candlestick and lit it on fire.

But there are many doubts in my heart: Who will that wave of people be?

She raised her head and glanced at Wen Yao, who was cutting candle flowers next to her: "How long has it been since you last seen Mu Ai?"
