Tragic death and rebirth, married to the abstinent uncle and was spoiled crazy
Chapter 92 Greedy Old Lady Lin
A group of thieves appeared in Shangjing City recently. They not only stole from ordinary people's homes, but even spared General Lin.
He even set fire to someone's private vault. There was a lot of speculation at the time, and the people all felt that the thief should never steal things from General Lin's mansion.
General Lin made great contributions to the peace of Yongjin, but there are people who covet this credit. It is really hateful.
When His Majesty heard about this, he was furious and sent Zhou Zecao to investigate the matter.
Over the years, Zhou Zeicao has solved many major cases. It can be said that no thief can escape from his clutches.
Facing this Zhou Cao thief who was famous in Yongjin, he was highly valued in his previous life even when Pei Yanli ascended the throne. For such a person, even Lin Tingwan was not completely sure that he could tell lies in front of him.
So the day before he came to investigate, he made an appointment with Yu Huaixing and Su Hanyan to appreciate the chrysanthemums together the next day.
By chance, a servant in Mrs. Lin's garden learned the news and went back to tell Mrs. Lin.
Night fell and it was time for dinner. Because of what happened yesterday, everyone was together today, including Uncle Fang and his family.
After the candles were lit, the whole room became bright and looked particularly solemn and serious. Sumptuous dishes were displayed on the table, including tender abalone and braised chicken wings with rich meat and fragrant aroma.
However, everyone had been waiting here for half an hour and there was still no sign of Lin Mingqian and Lin Yuehong. Everyone was there when Lin Mingqian got angry yesterday, so naturally they would not bring bad luck at this time. But there was always an exception, and that was Fang Buping, who was not at home yesterday as he went out to fool around somewhere.
He suddenly spoke, looking at Song Yingyue with a playful expression, "Cousin, why hasn't my cousin come yet?"
Lin Tingwan noticed that Song Yingyue's hands suddenly clenched because of these words, which was a bit strange. She suddenly remembered what Fang Buping said last time. Lin Tingwan always felt that the two must have known each other for a long time, and even that there was some unspeakable secret between them.
Lin Tingwan reached out and patted Song Yingyue's leg under the table, and said with a smile, "Uncle, if you are really in a hurry, why don't you eat first? I believe Dad won't care about such a small matter."
Uncle Fang also spoke at this time, saying in a cold voice, "Didn't you have lunch? You can't even wait for a while, don't come and embarrass me."
Fang Buping glared at Lin Tingwan fiercely. Because of her, he was now in a difficult situation.
Mrs. Lin spoke up at this time, "Okay, brother, it's time for dinner now. It's understandable that you're not hungry. Mingqian hasn't come back yet, and you didn't even send someone to inform us."
Uncle Fang waved his hand and said, "Mingqian is a great general after all, and he must be busy with military affairs all day long. Let's just wait here for a while, it's all right."
It was strange for Mrs. Lin to say that she always listened to Uncle Fang's words, but just like this time, when Uncle Fang spoke, she didn't say anything.
After waiting for a while, the dishes on the table became cold. Lin Tingwan quickly stood up and directed the servants to go down and heat them up.
Coincidentally, Lin Mingqian and Lin Yuehong came back just as the dish was heated up.
After the two of them sat down, Lin Mingqian started to eat and then everyone began to eat.
Lin Yuehong picked up the chopsticks and began to eat voraciously, as if he had not eaten all day. Song Yingyue felt so distressed when she saw him, and quickly stood up and walked to his side to serve him the food.
"Thank you, mother--" Lin Yuehong said while stuffing food into his mouth.
Mrs. Lin couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Eat slowly, why are you so rude?" Then she turned to look at Lin Mingqian and asked slowly, "I heard that Zhou Cao the thief will come to investigate the theft tomorrow?"
Lin Mingqian nodded, "Come early tomorrow morning. All the men in the mansion should stay and don't wander around."
When he said this, Mrs. Lin was a little unhappy, "What do you mean? Are you doubting your uncle?"
After all, there are only these few men in the mansion.
Lin Mingqian paused while picking up the food and said, "Mom, I don't mean that. It's just that this is the will of His Majesty, and we should fully cooperate. Not to mention my uncle's family, even Yue Hong and I will not leave the mansion tomorrow."
Old Madam Lin snorted. "When the fire started, I asked you if anything was burned. You told me everything was fine, but you refused to let me check. Now you've discovered that something is missing, and you've even alerted so many people."
Lin Mingqian paused, but said nothing.
Lin Tingwan listened and shook his head helplessly. This old lady Lin was always so unreasonable.
Lin Tangning, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously, "Cousin, did you and uncle go to investigate today? Why did you come back so late?"
"No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to inspect the military camp today and came back a little late." Lin Yuehong said, but his hands did not slow down at all.
When Pei Yanli was mentioned, Lin Tangning's eyes lit up instantly. She slowly asked, "Why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come and have dinner together?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yuanyuan patted her on the back and said, "Even eating can't stop your mouth." After that, she turned around and smiled apologetically at Lin Tingwan.
Lin Tangning turned around and glared at her, but then turned around and looked at Lin Yuehong with hope, as if she had to get an answer from him.
Lin Yuehong and Lin Tingwan looked at each other and slowly said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince was originally going to come, but His Majesty suddenly summoned Your Highness back to the palace."
Lin Tangning pursed her lips and said, "What a pity." After that, she lowered her head and began to eat, but this time her mind was obviously not on this.
Mrs. Lin was eating when she suddenly put down her chopsticks and said loudly, "I believe everyone saw what happened this time. In the final analysis, it was because they listened to Song Yingyue and put the rewards in the warehouse. If they had kept them in my courtyard, this would not have happened."
Pei Jinan's figure suddenly appeared in Lin Tingwan's mind. She curled her lips and whispered, "If it was placed in your yard, it might be your yard that would burn."
Lin Yuehong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and everyone at the table turned to look at him.
Old Madam Lin glared at him and asked unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"
Fang Buping snorted coldly and said, "Aunt, it was your granddaughter who said that you escaped a disaster because the robbers didn't burn your courtyard." The corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile, and he looked like he was enjoying watching the fun.
Uncle Fang glared at him fiercely, "Don't take it to heart. Buping has loved talking nonsense since he was a child..."
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Lin threw the bowl in front of her towards Lin Tingwan.
