Before Cang Lin left, he even cooked a meal for Song Jinyin.
He had never done any of this, he was rough in hands and feet, and there was only one fire burning brightly, crackling in the stove.
Song Jinyin knew that he had to go back to report to the man, so she had no intention of staying any longer and just sent the man to the door.
"Thank you both very much for today."
"It doesn't matter, it's just that Miss Jinyin might as well think about it again, Master..."
"Brother Ruokang Rin has returned to his home. Please help me talk to Cuiyu."
Song Jinyin took over the words of the man in front of her with a smile, as if she didn't hear the person he was about to mention in his words.
"I live a good life, so she doesn't have to worry about it, and she doesn't have to guard those dead things. Without me, there will be other 'Song Jinyins' in the house. The most important thing is to live her own life first, and there is Sister Biyu. ..."
After a pause, Song Jinyin seemed to think of something and stopped again.
If Cang Lin was asked to deliver a message, he probably wouldn't be able to deliver a few words.
It is better to let the past go with the wind and never mention it again, and one day you will be able to calm down.
"Well, you and I have already left. There doesn't seem to be much use in saying this. Brother Canglin still... doesn't need to pass the message for me."
Cang Lin didn't know whether to accept it or not.
He opened his mouth, and finally nodded at Doctor Mu's signal.
But he originally wanted to say that the absence of Song Jinyin in Zhuya Courtyard was actually not a small matter, and there would be no other Song Jinyin in the entire Duke's Mansion.
What they were thinking about was not an ordinary maid with whom they had made friends, but the girl who looked cold and indifferent, but in fact had already taken people into their hearts and treated them sincerely.
But he wasn't very good at talking, so he simply didn't speak again.
After leaving, Kurin walked around the alley for a while and did not immediately open the door next door.
Doctor Mu just thought he was being cautious, but after the winter snow became heavier and heavier, Doctor Mu finally stopped and trembled.
"I'm afraid the prince is waiting inside, so why don't you go in?"
"Come in now."
Cang Lin went around again, and when he opened the door, he still gave a few words, "When you go in later, don't mention anything else except Miss Jin Yin's body."
"Others? I am just a doctor, and there is nothing I can put before the girl right now."
When Cang Lin heard this, he felt it made sense.
He hadn't yet decided how to face his master, but he had made a plan and never mentioned the dwarf tree in Miss Jin Yin's courtyard or the medicinal materials Shen Yuhe had prepared.
Thinking about it, as long as the master didn't know Shen Yuhe's intentions, he would probably suffer less torture.
But Cang Lin didn't expect that that figure would go directly to Miss Jin Yin's yard late at night.
Across the window, one station lasts all night.
...
The palace lanterns have already been replaced with new palace lanterns, which are all bright red and look very festive.
Mrs. Liu braved the cold wind when she came back from Fuluyuan. She held the hand stove and breathed white air. Even though the outside was covered with a layer of silvery white, she did not miss a day's greetings.
"Did Mr. Guo go to Aunt Fang's yard today?"
Seeing the maid holding a lamp to pick her up, Mrs. Liu's eyes did not move and she spoke unhurriedly.
"Back to Mrs. Liu Zang, the Duke of Guo is gone, but Aunt Fang has angered the Duke of Guo for some reason. The Duke of Guo is very angry. I'm afraid it's the new singer at the moment."
"I can't even keep anyone in front of her."
Mrs. Liu sneered lightly, and then said: "Go and send the soup that you stewed today to the Duke of Guo, so that he can comfort you. Don't get so angry and worry the old lady."
"Yes, slave, come over right away."
The maid was blessed, and before leaving, she lowered her eyes and said respectfully: "Mrs. Liu is still very attentive. Just now, the Duke of Guo asked about Madam when he returned to the house. He was going to wait for Madam to have dinner with him. He just heard that there was a place in Fuluyuan. Without letting him go, he went directly to Aunt Fang’s place.”
Mrs. Liu just smiled and held the hand stove a little tighter.
Rather than the Duke's habit of visiting her every day, she was more concerned about Pei Jinzhi's plans.
Since he returned home, Aunt Fang has been thinking more about competing for favors, whether it's to get information or something else, but her heart is not set on the main room, and she really doesn't care when it comes to serving him.
Pei Jinzhi was also more cautious than before. On weekdays, when the two met in the courtyard, there would be no flaws at all.
Now she delivers the soup to the Duke every day, but if Pei Jinzhi keeps going smoothly like this, if something happens to the Duke first, she will still be the one to lose.
...
All the news from the Duke's Mansion, big and small, was sent to Pei Yanzhou.
He didn't intend to read it at first, but when he heard Mrs. Liu's name and thought of the person sleeping soundly in the room, he finally opened the letter.
"Master, Mrs. Liu seems to be aware of the Second Young Master's affairs, and her subordinates suspect that she is deliberately trying to catch up on this matter. She must have other purposes, and it doesn't seem like she is trying to gain favor and claim credit."
"It's not easy for her to be able to work steadily step by step until now."
Pei Yanzhou's hair was stained with water drops, and his shoulders were soaked with winter snow. He didn't want to disturb the people inside, so his voice became deeper and deeper.
"Is there anything else?"
"There is also the second young master. Butler Wang sent a letter saying that the second young master has been inquiring about Zhuyayuan since he returned home. He has also followed the second master and has contacts with many people in the same court. Originally, the old lady planned to let The second young master took over the affairs of the mansion, but for some unknown reason, he was persuaded by the Duke."
"Steward Wang means that the Duke of Guo does not seem to be someone who has time to worry about the affairs of the palace. I am afraid that this matter has something to do with the Liu family."
Pei Yanzhou kept looking at the wooden window in front of him without looking back, wondering what he was thinking.
After a long time, he spoke coldly.
"At this time, there are many people in the same court who have contacts. My second uncle and I, a good brother, are really not afraid of being ginsenged."
"Then the master wants the people in the mansion..."
"No need."
Pei Yanzhou waved his hand. Seeing that the falling snow was getting heavier, he took a step forward and walked carefully to the kitchen, adding more fire to it.
"I'm receiving a punishment now, and I can't care about the affairs of the court. Since Pei Jinzhi wants to take advantage of my absence, it doesn't hurt to let him be praised for a while. As for the people in the house... only the Liu family can deal with it. If it’s not Zhuyayuan, then there’s no need to intervene.”
Xuanwei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at the person in front of him.
He could figure it out if he allowed the second young master to take the lead and even have someone push him.
The higher he is praised by others now, the harder he will fall when something happens to the second young master who does not know the heights of the world.
But regardless of Liu's behavior in the house, Xuanwei was a little surprised.
In the past, when the master heard news related to the Liu family, he would not have much good temper. Although there was pressure in front of him now, he seemed to be a different person calmly than before.
But in the next moment, Xuanwei suddenly thought of the girl in the room.
Song Jinyin is still Liu's daughter after all.
"Yes, I understand."
"If you come to report in the future, please walk more gently."
Seeing the person leaving, Pei Yanzhou gave another instruction.
The bright red firelight shone on his face, making the edges of his jaw more obvious and revealing the coldness and sharpness of an adult man.
But with such an outstanding and noble appearance, when he lowered his head to pick dry firewood, he allowed the dust and mud to get everywhere, and he was careful and careful.
Xuanwei was stunned for another moment, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He was not one of those who always followed the manor, but the last time the master met General Xu in the suburbs, he happened to see Miss Jin Yin in the hands of the assassin when he arrived.
That time, the girl inside almost died.
He thought that probably not many people saw that the master's hand was shaking slightly after shooting the arrow, and it took him a long time to steady himself.
After the people left, the only sound left in the yard was the rustle of falling snow, as if it was hitting the branches and leaves of the trees.
Pei Yanzhou naturally guessed whose hand everything in this courtyard came from, and he regretted his belated step even more.
But he also knew that if he went to find Shen Yuhe because of this, it would be as Lin Jingxiu said, and it would be even harder to turn back.
All the forbearance seemed to be piled up at this moment.
Pei Yanzhou picked another thinner piece of firewood and stirred the fire inside.
She was afraid that the fire would be too strong and smoke the people in the house, and she was also afraid that when she woke up the next day and saw the ashes that had been burning all night, she would realize something was wrong.
Pei Yanzhou didn't stop until the fire became calmer.
The letter in his hand was supposed to be thrown into the fire, but looking at Mrs. Liu above, he quickly put the letter away.
Now it seems that he can't find a way to get close to Song Jinyin. He only has a piece of news about Liu, and maybe he can talk to her a few words and get a chance to get close to her.
But he didn't know whether she was still willing to listen to Liu's news.
And what she said to Cang Rin today, she didn't leave any room to look back on every word, she was determined not to want him anymore.
But although he didn't want to go to the step of forcing her like before, he also knew that even if hatred would arise in the end, Song Jinyin would never leave his side.
He was willing to wait for her forever, but he couldn't stay in Luo City forever, and she couldn't avoid him forever.
And the baby in her belly.
I want to draw a clear line with him, ignore him, and not let my children recognize him unless he dies.
The girl in the room coughed twice. Pei Yanzhou frowned and suddenly became angry again. He endured it for a long time before pushing the door open and entering.
It wasn't until it got slightly brighter that the man got up and returned to his yard.
"She was afraid that she might have caught a cold, so she asked Doctor Mu to put the medicine into the pastry and deliver it before lunch today."
"Yes, are you asking your subordinate to send the cakes to the embroidery workshop?"
Kurin was in a daze, just thinking that he had to find a pastry chef, but suddenly he heard the master in front of him say: "Bring it ready and send it to me, I will take it and go find her."
Cang Lin was startled and suddenly woke up.
Master... I spent the night blowing the cool breeze in the courtyard, and then found out that the knife I received from the girl during the day was not enough?
