After the kneeling prayer, Lin Jinyan took Bai Zhi to see Master Kong.
After coming out of the meditation room, Lin Jinyan had a slightly angry face and tightly balled up the paper in her hand. When passing by the pavilion on the side of the mountain, she threw the ball of paper to the bottom of the cliff with a sullen face, and then walked away quickly with Bai Zhi.
After having a fast meal and waiting for the servants to pack their bags, everyone bid farewell to the monk and went down the mountain.
Chu Chengyao stood at the pavilion and looked at the backs of everyone through the mottled tree shadows. Seeing Gu Ruizhou, Gu Yichen, and Lin Jinan, although they did not support Lin Jinyan, they slowed down and followed within five steps of Lin Jinyan.
Zhong Yi walked into the pavilion, saluted, and followed Chu Chengyao's gaze at the people down the mountain.
"Your Highness, I just got the stuff, but the paper ball was small because of the steep cliff. It took Zhao Jin a lot of effort to find it, and he was accidentally injured. He has to rest for two days."
Chu Chengyao frowned, turned to look at Zhong Yi, and said in a concerned tone:
"Why are you so careless? How seriously injured?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, it's just an external injury that didn't damage the bones. You'll be fine after just two days of rest."
Chu Chengyao: "When I go back later, you and Zhao Jin will go back with me in the carriage. After returning to the house, see the doctor for another check."
Zhong Yi's cold expression softened a bit after hearing this. In all the capital, not to mention the prince, no dignitary could be as considerate to the servants as His Highness. He really followed the right master.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"What's on the paper ball?"
"Back to Your Highness, the ball of paper thrown by Lin Jinyan was written with a person's birthday and birth date. My subordinates have seen it. It is Lin Jinyan's cousin. You asked me to check Zhou Yuexue's birth date."
Chu Chengyao murmured thoughtfully: "Zhou Yuexue? This Zhou Yuexue again..."
"Miss Zhou's grandfather is the biological brother of Mrs. Lin's sibling, that is, Taifu Lin's brother-in-law. Miss Zhou's father also came to Beijing to work as a fifth-grade sinecure on the recommendation of Taifu Lin. This Lord Zhou favored The concubine killed his wife. After the first wife gave birth to Zhou Yuexue, she saw that it was a daughter, so she took the outer chamber back to the house and ignored Zhou Yuexue and her daughter. The outer chamber was considered worthy of Zhou Yuexue's credit. Your Excellency gave birth to two sons in succession. After Mrs. Zhou’s death, Your Excellency Zhou raised the aunt to be his wife.”
Chu Chengyao cast his gaze down the mountain and saw Lin Jinyan getting on Bai Yiran's carriage, leaving Zhou Yuexue and Lin Wanrong in the same carriage.
"So, isn't Miss Zhou having a very bad life this week?"
"With the blessing of Mrs. Lin, Miss Zhou's life in the Zhou family is not only not bad, but is getting better and better. A few years ago, Mrs. Lin felt sorry for Miss Zhou because she was not taken care of by her own mother, and she took Miss Zhou into her home for a few years. Zhou After the family moved to Tai'an, Mrs. Lin looked down on the outer room and never let the two children from the outer room or the outer room visit. Miss Zhou would make some snacks every now and then and send them to Mrs. Lin."
Seeing Chu Chengyao staring at the carriage starting to move down the mountain, Zhong Yi asked carefully:
"Your Highness, since Miss Zhou has a phoenix destiny this time, she should be your legal wife. Can you send someone to follow you?"
Chu Chengyao: "You just trust me like this?"
Zhong Yi said firmly: "This world should be yours."
The corners of Chu Chengyao's mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his hand and patted Zhong Yi on the shoulder:
"Send someone to follow. It's not her who must be contacted now, but Lin Jinyan."
Zhong Yi asked in confusion: "But Miss Zhou is a person with a phoenix destiny. How can Lin Jinyan be worthy of His Highness?"
"You have an opinion about Lin Jinyan, but it's because of the Gu and Lin family's suppression of me?"
