Mrs. Wei frowned, "Didn't the person who came back to report earlier say that the person who went to Lin's house to smash things was Dong Qian's, why did he become a gambling den now?"
The mother-in-law replied, "It was Dong Ling who was beside the second madam who was frightened. She recognized the wrong person and sent people back. Only then did she realize that those people were from gambling houses to collect debts. The Lin family was in chaos and no one came to give way. People come back and report."
"So, it's none of the Li family's business at this time? What a nonsense! These girls spread random rumors before things are clear!" Mrs. Wei was silent for a long time, and then told Nong Shao next to her: "Go there, Let’s see how the second wife is doing.”
The old lady has always been shrewd, so she naturally doesn't have the temperament to do whatever others say, so she must let her confidants take a look.
Nong Shao responded and was about to go out when Wei Baozhu came over anxiously, "Grandma!"
Mrs. Wei knew what she was going to say when she saw her appearance. Before she could speak, she said, "Go and see your mother."
"Yes, thank you grandma."
Wei Baozhu didn't bother to say hello to everyone. He gave a brief salute and then turned around and went to the Nanning Hou Mansion with Nong Shao.
Everyone in the room looked at each other and left one after another.
Coming out of Heyan Hall, Li Qingyi was stopped by Princess Yuanheng, "Qingyi, the affairs of Lin Mansion really have nothing to do with Xuandehou Mansion, right?"
Now is not the time to expose the Lin family, so Li Qingyi pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "I just learned about the Lin family."
Princess Yuanheng nodded upon hearing this and let her go back to Zhuoxiangyuan.
As soon as Jiadan entered the house, she couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect Mrs. Lin to be so cruel and hide in her parents' house without coming back!"
Li Qingyi frowned, "Lin has always been a cunning woman. Knowing that the bank note is fake, she must have suspected that I was waiting for her, so she would not be able to catch her without mercy."
"If you don't want to surrender, why should you keep hiding in the Lin Mansion? She won't be able to explain it to Mrs. Wei! Even if she has a stroke, she can't always stay at her parents' house to recuperate. When her condition stabilizes, she will be taken back!"
"So, she must have other strategies."
"Other strategies?"
"The things Lin did include poisoning Mrs. Wei's eyes, killing Aunt Wen, using cinnabar to frame Song Qian and the third wife Guo, the attempted murder of Princess Yuanheng, and the conspiracy to steal my third aunt's money. Although we only have the first There is evidence for the first and last piece, but all the things can be connected in series. Lin is delaying time because she must be thinking of ways to remedy the situation, but she probably doesn’t know that we have captured Master Miaohui, so she will definitely find ways to get it back That piece of paper."
Chang Ning said: "How about I run over and remind the second lady."
She was recuperating at the Li family during this period and has become very familiar with the Li family.
Li Qingyi nodded, "Just stay at Li's house for a few days and wait until this matter is over."
"Yes, girl, slave, go right away."
Chang Ning went to the Li Mansion, and Li Qingyi also secretly left the Wei Mansion and went to Qin Zeng.
I just didn't expect that an acquaintance would get into trouble again.
Changze saw Li Qingyi naturally sitting opposite Qin Zeng, and replied with some embarrassment: "Sir, Changyue... defected with a few close guards."
Qin Zeng frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Nagasawa said: "I don't know whether Changyue had a pre-planned thought or made a temporary decision. Without any warning, several people who were close to her on weekdays disappeared together. It was all blamed on my subordinates. Seeing that she had been very honest after returning to Dongchang, they I was negligent, I didn’t expect her to have such an idea.”
Chang Yue was the one who drove away Isatis and made Li Qingyi fall into the trap set by Mu Ying, almost losing his life. In the end, Qin Zeng sent him back to the East Factory to rebuild.
People in Dongchang have always been loyal to Qin Zeng, so why did she suddenly betray her?
Is it because of what happened last time that you have a knot in your heart?
Li Qingyi was speechless. She didn't do anything, but she provoked Qin Zeng's personal guards to rebel?
Chang Lan looked unhappy, "I knew she was not a good person, otherwise I wouldn't have made things difficult for the girl, and she almost lost her life!"
At that time, Li Qingyi was trapped in the Mu family by Mu Ying and the fourth prince.
In the secret room, her legs were poisoned. If Qin Zeng hadn't arrived in time, she would have been disabled.
Therefore, several girls around her, including Chang Ning and Chang Lan, would curse Chang Yue whenever they saw the faint scars on her legs.
Qin Zeng glanced at Chang Lan lightly.
Chang Lan's scalp went numb before he remembered his identity, "This subordinate is talking too much."
Qin Zeng raised his eyelids and said, "From now on, you and Changning will just stay with her."
Changlan felt happy and looked at Li Qingyi, "Girl!"
Qin Zeng's mouth twitched, should it be so obvious?
Li Qingyi looked at him with a smile, "They are elders and your trusted personal guards. How can I keep them?"
Qin Zeng glanced at her, "If you don't want..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qingyi quickly uttered one word, "Yes."
"Hmph, just pretending."
Li Qingyi smiled sweetly, thinking that Qin Zeng was praising her.
Over there, Nagaze was still worried about Chang Yue, and said with a sad face: "Sir, Chang Yue was originally in charge of the Information Guard, and the few people he took away were also Information Guards. My subordinates were afraid that they would know too much about the Lord and what he would do. Unfavorable things..."
Chang Lan echoed: "The members Chang Yue is familiar with are all information guards. Although she only took away a few people, the people left behind may not be without her internal intelligence."
Qin Zeng pondered for a moment and said: "All the original arrangements are abandoned. The spies originally distributed everywhere are temporarily blocked and investigated one by one."
"Yes, my subordinates have ordered secret guards to search around to find Chang Yue's whereabouts."
When Nagaze went out, Li Qingyi looked at Qin Zeng worriedly, "It's all the trouble I caused. If it messes up your affairs, I can't absolve myself of the blame."
Qin Zeng was as calm and composed as usual, "Although Chang Yue's matter is a bit troublesome, it is not impossible to prevent."
Having said that, there are always hidden dangers when the personal guards rebel.
Li Qingyi said solemnly: "I know you are very thoughtful, but although the ant nest is small, it can collapse a thousand-mile embankment, so it's better to be careful. Besides, Chang Yue has some inexplicable... emotions for you, love and hate. After all, sometimes women are scarier than men..."
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows, "Can't you tell me why?"
Li Qingyi: "..." Why can't this person grasp the key points?
"To love so much and hate so much?"
"Ahem, I, I mean... Your Excellency, you are a very important person to Changyue."
"Hmph, if I were you, I'd keep my mouth shut."
Li Qingyi shut up.
Qin Zeng was silent and said, "Why did you come here so late today? What do you want from me?"
Li Qingyi said a little embarrassedly: "I came here now because I wanted to thank you for helping me this time..."
"Hmph, you already owe me a basketful of favors. I wonder if you can exchange them all in this lifetime?"
Li Qingyi's face has been tempered for a long time, "If you can't forgive me in this life, will you still be punished in the next life?"
Qin Zeng ignored the expression on her head and legs and asked, "What else?"
"Also, I feel uneasy for some reason today. I always feel that I have forgotten something, so I came here to calm my mind. Maybe I will figure it out?"
"You come to me to meditate?"
Qin Zeng felt fresh.
He was always nervous when others came to see him, but this girl actually said that he was meditating.
Li Qingyi nodded very sincerely, "Staying next to adults makes me feel at ease."
The corners of Qin Zeng's lips couldn't help but turn up, "Then tell me, is it Mrs. Lin who makes you uneasy?"
Li Qingyi shook his head, "I can't tell."
She told Qin Zeng her guess. After hearing this, Qin Zeng said: "Your analysis is very reasonable, but if it were me, I wouldn't bother to get any evidence back."
Li Qingyi was startled, "If we don't need written evidence, how can she escape?"
Qin Zeng said: "What Lin is doing now is not done by anyone.
Know. Even though today's events caused a great deal of fuss, she found a reason to hide it. The only threat to her now is you who set up a trap to catch her. If it weren't for you, wouldn't anyone be able to expose her? "
Li Qingyi opened his mouth, "You mean... Lin will kill me to silence me?"
"Only a dead man can shut up, right?"
Li Qingyi's face darkened, "That's right, she doesn't have to bother to defend at all, she just needs to shut my mouth and everything will be solved!"
*****
Nanning Hou Mansion.
Wei Baozhu got off the carriage in front of the door, first went to his grandfather Nanning Hou to ask for his blessing, and then went to Huilan Pavilion under his disappointed and indifferent eyes.
Huilan Pavilion is the courtyard where Lin lived before getting married. A simple cleaning is enough for Lin to "recuperate" here.
Wei Baozhu took a deep breath and said to Dong Ling who was guarding the door: "Grandma asked Nong Shao to come over and check on her mother, and go back to report to her."
Dong Ling was obviously prepared, "Sister Nong Shao, please come in."
Nong Shao smiled and said, "Second girls please go first."
Wei Baozhu took the lead to go in and hurried to the bed. He saw Mrs. Lin's eyes half-opened and her body stiff. She wanted to open her mouth to speak but no words came out.
She turned pale with shock, "Mother!"
Nong Shao looked on and was shocked, "Why is the second lady so sick?"
She looked back at Dong Ling: "What did the doctor say?"
"The second lady is extremely angry. If the disease is good, it will heal quickly. If it is not good, I don't know when it will be cured..."
Nong Shao frowned, bent down and took a closer look at Mrs. Lin's face, and said, "Second Madam is enjoying her health and recovery. I will go back and report this to Old Madam."
Dong Ling stepped forward at the right moment and handed Nong Shao a purse.
When Nong Shao was about to refuse, Wei Baozhu said, "I really can't bear to worry about my mother looking like this. Could you please tell my grandmother for me and allow me to stay at my grandfather's house for a few more days to attend to my mother's sickbed?"
Nong Shaofu bowed and said, "Second lady, you're welcome. This is your duty as a servant. Just stay here and take care of the second lady. I'll take care of you at the old lady's place."
After sending Nong Shao away, Dong Ling turned around and entered the house, closing the door.
Wei Baozhu called softly again: "Mother?"
Mrs. Lin opened her eyes, stretched herself out and asked straight to the point, "What did your grandmother say?"
