At Jinling Pier, the ships left slowly.
Seeing the figures of the two women getting smaller and smaller, Lin Bai couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in his heart.
Zhuiyue looked at the dock, his mood was also not high.
Xiao Jiu, on the other hand, was somewhat looking forward to it, because she was leaving the capital and could finally see the imperial sister. Naturally, she couldn't wait after being apart for so long.
Hurry and finish these messy things and bring the two ladies together.
Lin Bai secretly made up his mind.
This feeling is so unpleasant.
Being an official is really not as comfortable as living in Jinling with three ladies.
But everything you say now is in vain. Lao Zhu, an old fox, had better not make trouble. He just wants to have a good meal.
If it's really a big deal, then...
have to!
I don't want to have all these things. Several ladies are working so hard, so I can't be too lazy.
What's more, the scientist's wife is still waiting for him to pick her up.
Lin Bai cleared his mind and looked into the distance with firm eyes.
The ship went all the way down and arrived in Jiangzhou a day later. After all, such a big thing happened. Lin Bai decided to go back and take a look.
Fortunately, the Qin family and the Song family didn't panic so much when there were men around.
The Su family is different. The old mother-in-law is a daughter-in-law, and the two daughters are not around. I may not know what to do when I receive news during this period. I will go and have a look, and ask about chasing the moon by the way.
"Uncle is back..."
The moment they stepped into the house, the servants were all excited.
Mrs. Su also ran out of the back hall in a panic, "Qingfeng, Qingfeng is back..."
Siniang called from behind: "Madam, please slow down."
Compared to the beginning, the old mother-in-law is obviously thinner, and she must be unsure about what happened.
Now that I see my uncle, I can imagine.
However, after a short period of excitement, he may have realized that he had lost his temper. My uncle should not be too doting on her, and I must maintain the airs of elders, otherwise I will not pay attention to my daughter in the future.
So I calmed down quickly.
He was asking about his daughter.
After learning that both of them were fine, a look of relief appeared on their faces.
At the end, he asked, "How are you and that girl Lingyue doing?"
ah?
Lin Bai was confused. What did the mother-in-law mean? What does it mean to be with that little girl? What do you want?
The great talent felt something was wrong.
Mrs. Su may have felt that this was ambiguous, so she quickly said, "That girl didn't cause you any trouble, did she? She has been spoiled since she was a child, so as your brother-in-law, you should be more responsible."
What Lin Bai could say was all he could do.
After a few more pleasantries, Lin Bai asked the servants to retreat, leaving only the old mother-in-law.
Mrs. Su was slightly surprised and looked at him in confusion.
Lin Bai didn't mince words and asked directly: "Mother-in-law, do you know the situation at Zhuiyue's family?"
Mrs. Su was obviously startled.
"To be honest with my mother-in-law, my son-in-law is investigating a case in Kyoto..."
Immediately, Lin Bai explained the situation of Chai Yue. After all, she was his own girl, so he was quite concerned about her. Moreover, Chai Yue was probably related to the Night King.
Whether it was because of chasing the moon or being the fourth child, he felt it was necessary to find out.
Mrs. Su frowned slightly when she heard this, "Your father-in-law did say this before his death, saying that the child Zhuiyue was pitiful, and he took him home because he couldn't stand it."
"As for the other things, I haven't heard him mention it. He just said that things might not be simple, so I haven't let Zhui Yue go back."
"What's wrong with Chai Yue? There won't be any trouble, right?"
Perhaps due to the influence of the veteran logistics case, the old mother-in-law looked a little frightened.
After all, such a big thing happened.
Lin Bai was afraid that she would be worried, so he quickly said: "It's a good thing that my mother-in-law is relieved. If Zhuiyue's identity is confirmed..."
Immediately, he told the story about the Night King and Red Hawk Woman again.
It can be regarded as a relief to the old mother-in-law.
Mrs. Su had a surprised look on her face, looking a little dazed.
Lin Bai was not surprised. Anyone who knew that his maid might be related to the famous Night King would not react much better.
Unfortunately, the old mother-in-law did not provide any useful clues.
After having a meal at home, Lin Bai took the time to visit the Song family and the Qin family, and finally came back. Although he didn't have time to stay, it was still necessary to report that he was safe.
After all, kidnapping someone else's daughter is not.
Moreover, all ladies are so capable, so be grateful.
After staying in Jiangzhou for less than a day, Lin Bai boarded the ship again. The Iron Lady was about to give birth, and she was on a mission to the Wu Dynasty. After the matter was resolved, she had to rush back to resume her life.
"gone?"
In the Su family, Mrs. Su seemed a little absent-minded.
"Um!"
Siniang nodded, "My uncle has already boarded the ship. The eldest lady is about to give birth. My uncle is worried. I heard from Zhuiyue that he deliberately delayed a day to see my wife!"
"My uncle is so capable and so filial. Good times have finally come for my wife and eldest lady. It must be my blessing from God..."
As she spoke, she bowed with gestures, looking very pious.
Mrs. Su couldn't help but feel a hint of relief on her lips, but then her brows furrowed again.
When she returned to her room, she rummaged through the closet for a long time and finally found a jade pendant. It was white and as big as the palm of her hand, with a hollow shape in the middle, faintly showing the word "night".
Looking at the jade pendant, she frowned even more.
…
"Uncle, Cangzhou is ahead!"
The ship went all the way north and arrived in Cangzhou a few days later.
I walked this road last time when I went to Beijing to take the exam. The difference was that last time, all the students walked together and walked relatively slowly, but this time it was different.
When Zhuiyue heard about Cangzhou, there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Because next door to Cangzhou is Liangzhou, her hometown.
However, there is no canal in Liangzhou, so you have to get off the boat here and take the land route, which takes about half a day.
Lin Bai looked at her and smiled, then let the ship dock at Cangzhou Pier.
Zhuiyue asked in confusion: "Uncle, why did you stop?"
Lin Bai smiled and asked, "Do you want to go back and have a look?"
Zhuiyue was startled, could she not think about it, but she quickly said: "No! The eldest lady is about to give birth, we can't delay any longer."
Lin Bai said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't take more than a day and a half. I will take you back to see it."
"Besides, there's someone waiting for us there."
Immediately, Lin Bai took Zhuiyue and Xu Da off the boat, while the others stayed on the boat. With Yan Gang and Shen Polu and three hundred Wu Dynasty soldiers, Xiao Jiu's safety was naturally not a problem.
What's more, it won't take too long. The group of people worked hard and nearly shortened the time by half.
Lin Bai said someone was waiting, but it was actually Ji Xiaofeng and his group.
After the Jinling case was settled, he had already sent a message to Ji Xiaofeng, asking the latter to set off directly from Yanzhou to Liangzhou.
Its purpose is naturally to investigate the matter of Feiyun Escort Agency.
He had already decided that when he returned to Beijing, he would take Zhuiyue back to have a look and give this girl a surprise. After all, she was his own girl.
By the way, let's see if Ji Xiaofeng and his team found anything.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
