"Am I right? The eunuch has already brought her back to his house. Do you still want me to come and pick her up?"
Mrs. Liu was ashamed and angry, and asked anxiously.
She was just a eunuch, a bullying dog, what right did she have to lower her status to pick him up?
"Why are you talking to mother?" Lin Cong shouted.
After hearing the news that Mrs. Lin called Mrs. Liu to come to Fushou Hall, Lin Cong hurried over and happened to hear what Mrs. Liu said.
"Son, I would like to send my regards to my mother." Lin Cong bowed respectfully and sat on a chair beside Mrs. Lin at Mrs. Lin's signal.
"You're here just in time. You asked Mrs. Liu to bring Shuang'er back. You're a good girl and it's not appropriate to stay outside."
When Mrs. Lin saw Lin Cong coming, she closed her eyes again.
Her words are short but carry a lot of weight.
Mrs. Lin knew that Lin Cong was filial and she didn't need to say anything more.
"Mom, Jiu Qian has already taken her away, don't you need to pick her up?" Lin Cong hesitated.
Mrs. Lin opened her eyes and shouted angrily: "Mr. Liu is ignorant, are you also ignorant?"
"Mother..." Lin Cong muttered, not daring to speak again.
Although he is powerful outside, he listens to Mrs. Lin very much at home.
In his opinion, Mrs. Lin worked hard to bring him up and everything she did was for his own good.
"Is it possible that you really want to be that eunuch's father-in-law? You are shameless and the Marquis's house is also shameless?"
Mrs. Lin was not polite at all when she scolded people.
"Ms. Liu, don't think that I don't know your thoughts. Don't you just want to trample Xiao Wan's daughter under your feet? After so many years, are you still giving her daughter to a eunuch?"
Hearing Mrs. Lin's words, Ms. Liu's thoughts were revealed in person, her face turned red and white, not to mention how much she hated her.
Lin Cong said solemnly: "But Jiu Qiansui has already taken the person away..."
"It's just a child's joke to pick him up after he is taken away. How can he take it seriously if he is nine thousand years old? Even if he wants to serve, he must have a charter."
Mrs. Lin's eyes widened, and Lin Cong was so frightened that he nodded in agreement.
"Go find a few good things in the warehouse and give them to Jiu Qiansui, and consider it as an apology." Mrs. Lin thought for a while and warned her again.
Lin Cong didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly answered.
As if she didn't want to see the two of them again, Mrs. Lin waved her hands impatiently: "You go out first and pick them up as soon as possible."
Lin Cong and Liu hurriedly retreated.
"What do you mean, mother-in-law? Why did you suddenly think of taking care of that stinky girl?" As soon as she left the courtyard of Fushou Hall, Mrs. Liu couldn't help complaining, "Master Hou, it can't be true..."
"Take someone to the Governor's Mansion to bring him back to me. If you can't pick him up, go to the Fushou Hall and kneel there." Lin Cong shook his sleeves, with an obviously dissatisfied expression on his face.
Liu was usually gentle and submissive, but the events of the past few days really bothered him.
"Master Hou..." Ms. Liu wanted to catch up and grab Lin Cong's hand but failed.
She could only stamp her feet on the spot bitterly, and quickly chased in the direction Lin Cong left.
Lin Cong walked quickly towards the study, feeling angry in his heart.
Thinking of Mrs. Lin's uncompromising character, if Lin Fushuang couldn't come back, I don't know what trouble would happen.
If Liu hadn't gone too far, Lin Fushuang wouldn't have followed Fu Yanqing, the living king of hell.
Let yourself end up in the current dilemma.
Lin Cong couldn't help but feel a hint of resentment towards Mrs. Liu in his heart, completely forgetting that he himself had nothing to do with things turning into this situation.
If it weren't for his repeated connivance and protection of Mrs. Liu, Lin Fushuang would not have thought about serving Fu Yanqing.
The more Lin Cong thought about it, the angrier he became, so he changed his clothes and went out to drink.
By the time Mrs. Liu arrived at the study, she had already left, so she could only suppress the fire and return to her yard.
Unlike the chaos in Ding'an Marquis' Mansion, Lin Fushuang was quite peaceful in the Governor's Mansion.
I originally planned to have a good talk with Fu Yanqing and ask him to help hire an imperial doctor.
But I didn't expect that Fu Yanqing would seem to disappear that day. I asked several people, but they couldn't tell clearly.
Lin Fushuang pursed her lips and stopped asking.
After all, he is the governor-general who holds the power of life and death.
Lin Fushuang walked around the house when she had nothing to do, but unexpectedly walked into a small courtyard.
The three words "Lingzhen Pavilion" are written on the plaque, and the writing is excellent.
The flowing clouds and flowing water show a slight sharp edge at the hidden edge, and a subtle hint at the exposed edge. The pen ends at the hanging edge and ends abruptly, like cutting with a sharp knife.
Even she could tell that the word was extraordinary.
There was no one living in the yard, and no servants were in it, but it was kept very clean.
Could this be Fu Yanqing's treasure house?
Lin Fushuang paused. She originally wanted to exit, but curiosity lingered in her heart, so she couldn't help but open the door and walked in.
I originally thought that as the name suggests, there would be a room full of rare treasures.
But I didn't want to see a room full of paintings as soon as I entered the door.
Lin Fushuang was a little surprised. She slowly unfolded several scrolls, and the contents were even more surprising.
The scrolls are all portraits of women, and none of them have facial features, but judging from the body shape, it can be vaguely seen that they are the same person.
The innermost picture of a girl does have facial features, but they are too far apart and can't be seen clearly.
Lin Fushuang was about to get closer and take a closer look when Qiu Shui's panicked voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Miss Lin, come out quickly!"
Lin Fushuang turned around with an embarrassed look on her face, wanting to speak to relieve the embarrassment of being caught breaking into someone else's house.
But she didn't expect Qiu Shui to come forward and grab her. With quick and rough movements, she walked straight out of the yard, not forgetting to carefully close the door in the end.
"Qiu Shui, I didn't mean to go in..." Lin Fushuang explained a little embarrassedly.
Qiu Shui held her hand, her face looking very ugly.
"Miss Lin, no one is allowed to enter that room except the Governor. Even the cleaning was done by the Governor himself. Last time, a newcomer who didn't understand the rules went in and messed up things, and was kicked out by the Governor. Out of the house."
Qiu Shui took her away from the yard and walked some distance before stopping.
"I heard from the housekeeper that the things inside are the governor's most precious things. If someone else breaks them, they will be thrown into the Dongchang Prison!"
Seeing the scared look on Qiu Shui's face, Lin Fushuang hid the confusion in her eyes and followed her back to Cuifang Garden.
After arriving in the yard, Qiu Shui did not tell her more about Lingzhen Pavilion, and left after bowing.
Lin Fushuang thought about the paintings that filled the room. She always felt that the portrait of the little girl that she had not had time to see clearly seemed familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen it.
I think Fu Yanqing and the little girl met before, and they must have separated later, otherwise the portrait at the back would not be without facial features.
Lin Fushuang didn't think much about it, after all, it was a family matter.
She is just an outsider now, so naturally she doesn't want to ask too many questions.
