When Su Lin and others left Wangjing Tower, Zhu Guangtian asked him, "Young Master Lin, are you still going back to the Yamen?"
Su Lin originally wanted to go back, but Ma San beside him reminded him in a low voice, "Master, you were not on duty yesterday and you didn't go home. It's almost midnight now. I'm afraid the princess will be angry if you don't go back."
Su Lin gave up the idea of going back to the Yamen and said to Zhu Guangtian and the others, "It's getting late. Let's go home. We'll talk about the case at the Yamen tomorrow."
Then they broke up, and Ma San led Ma and Su Lin back to Su Mansion. When he arrived at the door of the mansion, Su Lin saw his father, Prince Su Xiudasu, standing at the door with a sad face. Seeing Su Lin come back, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
Su Lin looked strange and stepped forward and asked curiously, "Dad, why are you standing at the door of the house and not going in? Why are you still looking so sad? What's the problem? Tell your son, and he promises not to help you."
Su Xiuda said angrily, "You little bastard, you still know how to come back. Why didn't you go home when you weren't on duty yesterday?"
"I went to investigate the case. My uncle, the Emperor, gave me Hua Shaoqing's case. I have to do my best to investigate it."
"Then you have to go home. Do you know how worried your mother is about you?" Su Xiuda said to him with wide eyes.
"It's my mother who blames you, dad. My mother must blame you for asking me to investigate the case and why you didn't go home at night." Su Lin said with an expression like "I've seen through you."
"Little bastard, you're still making fun of your father. I won't tell you that much today. Your mother is in the living room. I'm going to tell her that you're back. You can figure out how to explain it to your mother." Su After Xiuda finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the house, shouting, "Madam, I have found my son."
Su Lin complained, "This old fox is starting to take credit now. You brought me back. I don't think you wanted to find me at all."
After complaining, Su Lin followed Su Xiuda's footsteps and entered the house. As for Ma San, when he saw something was wrong, he had already greased the soles of his shoes and ran away.
Su Lin came to the door of the hall and looked inside, only to see Yue Lianxing sitting there angrily, with Zhang Ying sitting next to her, Su Xiuda and Su Ling standing on the left and right, both of them constantly trying to persuade her. .
Su Lin was not afraid at all. He was confident in coaxing a woman, and since this woman was his mother who loved him the most, he was even more confident.
I saw him walking into the house with his legs up and standing obediently, "Mom, Er Niang, I'm back."
When Yue Lianxing heard his voice, she raised her head and looked at him coldly. The look in her eyes made his hairs stand up suddenly. Su Xiuda looked at her nose, nose, and mouth and remained silent. Zhang Ying glanced at him worriedly, and then whispered to comfort Yue Lianxing, while Su Ling gave him a "You're done" look from the side.
The scene was a bit silent for a while. Su Lin was thinking about countermeasures in his mind crazily. At this time, he only heard Yue Lianxing speak, her voice was as biting as the ice that could not be melted. "Okay, I'm back. Do you still know how to come back?" ! You still have your mother in your heart!"
Su Lin shouted in his heart, I'm not afraid of you being angry, I'm just afraid that you won't speak. As long as you pay attention to me, I will be able to coax you.
Su Lin rushed to Yue Lianxing's side and knelt down with a plop. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's all my son's fault. He made his mother angry. My son apologized to his mother."
When Yue Lianxing saw Su Lin kneeling in front of her, she had the intention to help him, but she held back when she thought that she was still angry with him. This little move did not hide from Su Lin's eyes. He secretly thought something was wrong and continued to say, "Mom, my son just wants to solve the case as soon as possible to bring glory to you and your father. I didn't expect that this incident will make you unhappy. If you want to punish your son, just do it." Punish me, don't get sulky and get sick. If you don't want your son to investigate this case, ask your father to tell the emperor that your son will not investigate this case, and this official will not do it anymore. Your son will serve you every day. ."
After Su Lin finished speaking, he lowered his head to his chest, as if he accepted the punishment.
When Yue Lianxing saw Su Lin's appearance and heard what he said, her heart softened. She sighed and said softly to Su Lin, "Get up. Mom is not angry with you, but she is afraid that you are in some danger. The case will be investigated, but if you don't go home, you must send someone to inform the family. Don't let Mom is worried."
Su Lin said yes, rubbed his legs and stood up.
Su Xiuda helped from the side, "That's right, you know how worried your mother is about you, you are so careless." After saying that, he looked at Yue Lianxing with a flattering smile.
Unexpectedly, Yue Lianxing ignored him at all. She just took Su Lin's hand and said, "Lin'er must be hungry. She must not have had a good rest while investigating the case yesterday. I'll let the kitchen prepare dinner. You have something to eat and go to rest."
As an innate warrior, Yue Lianxing's facial features are inherently sharper than ordinary people. It didn't matter that he was so close to Su Lin. He smelled the smell of alcohol and powder on Su Lin's body, and the anger he had just suppressed came back up again. "Su Lin, didn't you say you went to investigate the case? You smell of alcohol and powder." Where does the scent of powder come from? Do you think I’m easy to fool?”
Su Xiuda glanced at Su Lin with pity, thinking that you can't hide it now.
Unexpectedly, Su Lin didn't panic at all. He pretended to be aggrieved and explained, "Mom, you also know that Hua Shaoqing died in a brothel. Last night, I was deducing the case with Zhu Guangtian and others at the Yamen and found some doubts, so we went together today. We went to a brothel. You also know that in a place like a brothel, you are always in contact with women, so your body is stained with the smell of makeup. As for the smell of alcohol, the people from the brothel saw that we were working hard to investigate the case, so they gave us two bottles of wine. My son was thirsty and drank two bottles of wine. That’s why the cup smells like alcohol.”
Yue Lianxing's eyes softened after hearing Su Lin's explanation, and she said apologetically, "Lin'er, I'm sorry, my mother wrongly blamed you. Su Xiuda, look at the good job you found for your son."
Su Xiuda felt aggrieved because it was his fault in the end, but he did not dare to refute and could only look at Su Lin angrily.
Su Ling, on the other hand, looked like she had seen a ghost, which made her elder brother fool her. The point is that the aunt still believed his lies. It would be a shame for her elder brother not to act.
Yue Lianxing ordered Su Lin to go down and prepare dinner, then took Su Lin to sit down and asked with concern, "Lin'er, how is the investigation of the case?"
"There is not much evidence yet, but there may be other people involved behind this case. I feel that there must be a big conspiracy behind this case. I need to collect more evidence before I can draw a conclusion." Su Lin was also serious when talking about business. got up.
"What big conspiracy? Will it be detrimental to the court?" Su Xiuda also asked seriously.
"I don't know yet. I'll let you know when I have new progress."
Su Xiuda stopped talking. Yue Lianxing pulled Su Lin and talked about other things. Before he knew it, the servants had prepared the food. The family was preparing to eat when a burst of hearty laughter came from outside. "Brother and sister-in-law, I'm here. Do you know what big thing Lin'er did today?"
Everyone looked outside the door and saw a man in his thirties striding in. This man had an extraordinary bearing, spoke with great energy, and exuded a heroic spirit.
Su Xiuda also smiled when he saw the visitor, "Second brother, you are really in a hurry. We have just finished dinner. Come and have a drink together." This man was Su Xiuda's second brother and Su Lin's second brother. Uncle, Su Xiuci, who was the Minister of War in Daqing at that time.
Su Xiuci entered the main room, first greeted Yue Lianxing and Zhang Ying, and then said, "Brother, sister-in-law, you don't know, Lin'er stole the show today."
When Yue Lianxing heard that it was related to Su Lin, she quickly asked, "Rhehe, what did Lin'er do?"
Su Lin already felt something was wrong at this time. He hurriedly said, "Mom, don't ask. Let the second uncle sit down and let's eat. I'm already hungry."
Su Xiuda also said, "Yes, madam, let's sit down and eat and talk."
So the Su Lin family and Su Xiu Ci were sitting at the dining table. Yue Lianxing couldn't wait to ask, "Second brother, stop being so pretentious and tell me what's going on with Lin'er."
Su Xiuci took a sip of wine and said happily, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that Lin'er wrote a poem in Wangjing Tower this afternoon, which shocked the capital." Then he read Su Lin's poem about stealing.
Yue Lianxing was surprised at first when she heard such a poem, and then she became excited, "My son is so talented, so talented."
Zhang Ying and Su Ling were also immersed in the artistic conception of this poem. Su Ling thought to herself, I didn't expect that my eldest brother has such an outstanding talent. Why didn't he write poetry before?
As for Su Xiuda, someone had already reported this to him before Su Lin returned home, so he was not surprised. He was just curious about how Su Lin composed such a poem.
Yue Lianxing looked at Su Lin, "Lin'er, what's the name of this poem?"
Su Lin's scalp was numb at this time. Su Xiuci's words just now had exposed his lies to coax Yue Lianxing. But now Yue Lianxing is still immersed in the joy of my son's talent and has not reacted for the time being. Now Su Lin just wanted to finish his meal and run away.
Just as he was hesitating, Su Xiuci took over, "Sister-in-law, Lin'er hasn't named this poem yet. Lin'er has already posted it at the door of Wangjing Tower for the literati who come to entertain themselves. Name it." Then Su Xiuci sighed, "In the short two hours since Lin'er wrote this poem, basically all the literati in the capital knew about it. From the ministers in the court to the students in the academy, they all rushed to go there. Wangjing Tower, I want to give it a name and join Lin'er in the literary world. Sister-in-law, tell me, does Lin'er shock the capital?"
"It's true." Yue Lian couldn't help but nodded, and then she felt something was wrong. "Lin'er, didn't you say you were going to a brothel to investigate the case today? I remember that brothel was called Wanhua Tower. What is Wangjing Tower? place?"
Su Lin's heart skipped a beat, and his mind began to work crazily, trying to find a reasonable explanation. Who knew that Su Xiuci took the words and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know? Wangjing Tower is a very famous restaurant in the capital. Not only can you eat there, but you can also have girls to accompany you to drink. Many ministers of the court are willing to go here."
Su Lin looked at Su Xiu Ci wildly, but Su Xiu Ci seemed to be unable to see, and was still chattering and explaining to Yue Lianxing, "I went to Wangjing Tower after hearing about Lin'er, and heard what the waiter there said about Lin Er. I made such a unique sentence today because I was having a good time drinking with the girls."
Yue Lianxing's expression turned cold when she heard this, and her eyes when she looked at Su Lin didn't contain a trace of tenderness. "Su Lin, is this the investigation you told me about?"
Su Lin wailed in his heart, it's over, it's completely over now, my second uncle made a mistake. He was about to defend himself, but Yue Lianxing didn't give him a chance at all. He used his qi machine to break a branch outside the door and hit Su Lin.
Su Lin tried to run away, but he couldn't get out of Yue Lianxing's palm. The branch hit his butt accurately every time. Yue Lianxing's attack was very skillful, making him feel pain without hurting his body. The blow made Su Lin scream.
Su Xiuda and Su Xiuci looked at each other with a satisfied expression on their faces. This was clearly something the two brothers had discussed in advance, and they just wanted to deal with Su Lin.
Zhang Ying worriedly said to Su Xiuda, "My lord, go and persuade my sister, don't break Lin'er."
Su Xiuda disagreed, "You also know Xing'er's temper. At this time, I'm going to persuade her to beat me. Don't worry, Xing'er is sensible and won't break him. Come on, let's continue to eat."
Su Ling heard Su Xiuda's words and looked at the expressions of Su Xiuda and Su Xiuci. She didn't know that this was the intention of her father and second uncle. She thought to herself, big brother, no matter how good you are, you can't compete with her father and second uncle. The two uncles are working together to plot. She mourned for Su Lin in her heart, then lowered her head and went to eat.
That night, Su Lin's screams rang for a long time.
That night, Su Lin fell asleep lying on his stomach.
