After Lin Jinyan's brother and sister returned home, they first went to Songmao Hall.
Seeing that Lin Jinyun was there, and learning that Zhou Yuexue had just left not long ago, Lin Jinan's eyes drifted out of the door, and he glanced at the maid named Xiaohuan with displeasure.
Hearing from the old lady, Zhou Yuexue would come to stay at the house tomorrow. Lin Jinan and the other three looked at Lin Jinyun at the same time, seeing a springy smile in the corners of his eyes and brows, and the three of them looked away together.
After leaving Songmaotang, Lin Jinan sent Lin Jinyun away and turned to Yan Yuxuan, telling Lin Jinyan and Mr. Ran to pay attention to the precautions of men and women.
"Brother Ran is indifferent to everyone else, but he is too concerned about you. If you don't have that intention, just stay away and don't accept everything from him."
Lin Jinyan agreed with a smile, and after sending the person away, she looked at Bai Zhi who was suppressing a smile:
"You're still laughing. Go prepare some hibiscus cakes. I'm afraid there are guests coming tonight, so you and Hong Jiu will stay vigil and send them all away."
It's quiet at night.
A figure climbed over the wall from the Xiyuan of Lin Mansion. Wei Zhong, who was sleeping, woke up when he heard the sound. He picked up his sword and quickly left the house. Following the sound, he came to a secluded place. He drew his sword and scanned inch by inch with bated breath. Suddenly, he heard a sound beside him. I was about to draw my sword and stab it, but I heard a familiar voice whisper:
"Wei Zhong, it's me."
The visitor removed his scarf, Wei Zhong put away his sword and stepped forward:
"Why are you here? The lady didn't say you were coming."
Yan Yuxuan.
Hearing the knocking on the window, Hong Jiu went to open the window and was surprised to see the person coming:
"How could it be you? Come in first and let's talk."
The visitor climbed into the house lightly. Hong Jiu glanced around the windows, closed the window and led the visitor into the house. He opened the door and entered the inner room.
Hearing the sound, Lin Jinyan looked up and saw that there was only Hong Jiu. Just as she was about to ask, Hong Jiu said:
"Miss, Song Yi is here."
Lin Jinyan's eyes flashed with surprise, but without asking any more questions, she asked Bai Zhi to tie her cloak and stepped out of the inner room.
Instructing Bai Zhi to serve tea, Lin Jinyan looked at Song Yi, who was wearing night clothes, and sat down opposite him:
"I came here late at night, but what happened?"
Song Yi told what he had done during the day and the masked man he met:
"I don't know his origin, but he knows my details. I can't tell the difference between friend and foe yet."
Lin Jinyan: "According to what you said, this person has followed you several times?"
Song Yi nodded: "When I first arrived in Kyoto, he followed me twice. After I entered Prince Jin's Mansion, I felt like someone was secretly following me twice when I left the mansion. Until today, he didn't show up outside the city."
Lin Jinyan: "I know, I will send someone to investigate. But you came out so late, does anyone know?"
Song Yi: "I met the King of Jin as you said, and I didn't obey him everywhere. When he stayed with me, I repeatedly refused, but he trusted me, treated Cao Xian and me with courtesy, and allowed us to enter and leave the palace at will. In the evening. I heard a friend mention the traces of the Wanyuan Sect in Kyoto, and I wanted to come out to check, and I only came out with his permission. In order to prevent him from sending people to follow, I asked Cao Xian to take an open road."
"He is suspicious and sinister, and will not trust anyone. You and Cao Xian must not underestimate the enemy. From now on, you will get along with him according to your temperament, but you must still be on guard at all times. Safety comes first. If something goes wrong, you should withdraw immediately. "
The two chatted for a while, and after talking about business, seeing Song Yi looking at the hibiscus cake on the table, Lin Jinyan smiled and said:
"I didn't know you were coming tonight, but I didn't prepare chestnut cake for you."
Song Yi laughed: "I didn't come here specifically to eat. The hibiscus cakes are ready. It seems that there will be guests coming soon."
