The Hou family's legitimate daughter died tragically and went to the palace, and then she was r

"The eldest lady of Dingbeihou Mansion? My eldest sister?"

Young Lin Shuo looked at Lin Jinglan and repeated.

"Yes."

Lin Jinglan replied calmly, saying that this younger brother is really good-looking, and there are no ugly people in the Lin family.

Lin Shuo was very smart and reacted instantly.

This person is his sister, yes, but she is his half-sister, the daughter of the noble Mrs. Hou in the Hou family.

"See the eldest lady, Shuo'er. I would like to thank the eldest lady for saving my life."

But before Lin Shuo could say anything, the woman on the side hurriedly knelt down towards Lin Jinglan. While thanking Lin Shuo, she also pulled Lin Shuo to kneel down and thank Lin Jinglan.

Lin Jinglan made no move, but Su Xiaoluo beside him quickly helped the woman up.

"Since you are my father's son, I should call you aunt. Since Lin Shuo is my younger brother and has the same bloodline as mine, I should have saved him."

Lin Jinglan's eyes looked closely at the woman, seeing that although she was scared, she still maintained a trace of calmness.

And after knowing her identity, she quickly knelt down to herself and bowed her head to thank her. You can tell that she is a smart woman.

"I don't dare, this slave. I have a humble status, and I don't dare to let the eldest lady call me that."

Although he is extremely humble, he is very aware of current affairs.

But this was not the case with Lin Shuo next to her.

"You are the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, but these people just said that the person who wants to kill us is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion. What is going on?"

The young man's eyes had slowly changed from surprise to anger. His clear eyes were now staring at Lin Jinglan with a hint of scrutiny.

"Nothing happened. The person who wants to kill you is my eldest brother, and the person who saves you is me."

Lin Jinglan didn't hide anything and told them directly. Besides, wasn't this originally his purpose?

"You are his biological sister, why did you go against his will to save us? What is your conspiracy?"

Lin Shuo looked at Lin Jinglan warily, wondering if she had other ideas because her martial arts was so good.

"If you think this is a conspiracy, I don't care. It's just that this place is not safe. You must have heard of my eldest brother's reputation. He is decisive, calm, and extremely smart. I'm afraid if he doesn't succeed this time, he will still have to deal with you in the future. Take action, I suggest you escape as soon as possible."

Lin Jinglan looked at the two of them indifferently, as if he was just reminding them kindly.

"Why did you suddenly appear here, and why did you want to save us."

Lin Shuo's words made Lin Jinglan raise her eyebrows unconsciously. This young man got the point right away, and for his young age, he was exceptionally calm.

"I came to Peach Blossom Town to do something. As for why I want to save you, it's because Lin Qingfeng and I don't want to deal with each other. He wants to kill people, but I want to save you."

Lin Jinglan's words made both mother and son feel strange. Aren't they brothers and sisters?

Why does the tone of voice sound like an enemy?

Moreover, after seeing Lin Jinglan's face, the killers not only had no scruples about retreating, but instead wanted to kill Lin Jinglan.

Are they really enemies?

"I don't intend to explain too much to you. You can find your own way out later. I don't really want to meddle in your own business and save your lives. Even if it's because you and I are still the same father."

After saying this, Lin Jinglan turned around and left. Although Uncle Qi and Su Xiaoluo felt a little strange, they didn't understand why the young lady left like this.

But he still kept up with her pace.

Seeing the three people standing there without stopping, the boy and the woman looked at each other. The woman suddenly pulled Lin Shuo forward and knelt down towards Lin Jinglan.

"Please, Miss, please save the lives of our mother and son."

Lin Jinglan stopped, but this time she did not let Su Xiaoluo help her up. Instead, she looked indifferently at the mother and son kneeling on the ground. Oh, there was also an old woman who followed and knelt down.

"I just saved your lives, what do I mean by this?"

The woman held her son's hand, her figure was weak, her eyes were full of tears, but her eyes were a little firm.

"My maid, Jiang Yuniang, used to be from a scholarly family. However, during the war, my family fell into decline. I was the only one left in the family. I wandered to the border, and was rescued by the Marquis. He pitied me, and then I settled down in In this world, after giving birth to Shuoer, I have no other thoughts in my mind. I just want to guard my son for the rest of my life, see him get married and start a career, and have a safe and smooth life."

Jiang Yuniang's tears fell as she spoke.

"Although I know that there is no table in the outer room, it will only bring bad influence to Shuo'er, but I have never thought of asking the Marquis for a title. I only hope that the Marquis can take care of Shuo'er for a moment or two in the future. enough."

"mother..."

Lin Shuo also had sadness on his face. He was not old, but he knew a lot. He understood his mother's suffering and his identity as an illegitimate child.

"We, mother and son, just want to live a stable life, but the killer sent by the eldest son this time is enough to prove that as long as Shuoer is the blood of the Marquis, it is impossible for us to live a stable life. The eldest son will not be able to kill us this time. Next time we take action, even if we escape, according to the eldest son’s ability, we won’t be able to escape very far.”

When she said this, Jiang Yuniang kowtowed to Lin Jinglan and begged.

"So, I beg the eldest lady to save my son's life. Even if I die now, I will have no complaints."

A person who is willing to die for his son is a mother who loves her children.

It's a pity that the love between mother and son is destined to be missed for Lin Jinglan.

"Then why don't you beg my father? Lin Shuo is my father's son. My father will definitely not watch him die."

Being able to follow his father for more than ten years, and even when he returned to the capital, he would not forget to bring them with him, which is enough to see that his father also has this mother and son in his heart.

"I'm just afraid that before we meet the Marquis, we will be hunted again. And even if we can meet the Marquis and get his protection, our enemies in the Marquis' mansion will not only be the eldest son, Madam. , the second young master and the second young lady will all think of us and die, and we can’t fight them.”

Jiang Yuniang's sentence-by-sentence analysis makes sense. It seems that the person who has been favored by her father for more than ten years is indeed not a fool. She is very smart and scheming.

"Please, Miss, since Lin Shuo is your brother, please save his life."

"No, if we want to live, we, mother and son, will live together. If we want to die, we will die together."

When Lin Shuo said this, he looked at Lin Jinglan and made his meaning clear.

Lin Jinglan looked at the seemingly pitiful mother and son, and slowly said:

"It's not impossible to save your life, but you have to obey me in the future. I don't like disobedient people."
