I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 20
Lin Xingwei followed the maidservants of the Cao Mansion and walked quickly all the way. Before reaching the banquet hall, when he reached the corner, a gaudy figure flashed over, and Lin Xingwei received a solid blow on the left cheek, which hurt hotly.

It wasn't until she stood still that she realized it was Chen Xinan, "This slap is to punish you for insulting me!"

Chen Xinan usually followed his father and brother to practice riding and shooting in the martial arts field. Although he looked delicate and charming, his hands were strong. Lin Xingwei's head was buzzing with one palm, and he might have suffered a concussion.

The servant beside him was stunned for a moment and rushed to report the news. Wen Lin behind him was also obviously stunned. Seeing that Chen Xinan was still staring fiercely at Lin Xingwei, who was covering his face and hurting, he hurried forward.

"How did Xinan county lord beat someone..."

As soon as Wen Lin's words fell, Chen Xinan suddenly staggered backwards, and fell into the pond in a daze. Before he could utter a sound, he smashed a big hole in the ice surface to the shore, and fell into the icy water with a thud. Here, the leisurely fish in the water are frightened and swim away.

Chen Xinan thumped vigorously in the pool like a soaked chicken, his head came out of the water and gasped, his face was purple and red, and he beat the cold water with both hands so as not to sink.

"How can you push someone into the water? It will kill you."

Wen Suiwan glanced at Lin Xingwei at a loss, and then at the bottomless pond. He really didn't have the courage to jump off the ice lake to save people in the snow and ice. He looked around and couldn't find anything like a long stick. Can pull people up.

Lin Xingwei looked at Chen Xinan coldly while covering his aching face, and asked, "Are you done? Are you looking for trouble again and again?"

Chen Xinan was so cold in the water that her teeth were fighting. She didn't have the energy to pay attention to Lin Xingwei, and swam towards the shore with all her strength. When she climbed up the rock wall, the rescuers brought by the maid came.

Several wives and several men saw Chen Xinan's trembling and embarrassed appearance, and they were all stunned, as if they had been struck by lightning.

Didn't the servant girl come to say that the Xinan county lord slapped the county lord Youning?Now it seems that Princess Youning pushed Xinan County Lord into the water for revenge.

Mrs. Ouyang hurriedly said: "Hurry up, take a big cloak and wrap it around the Xinan County Lord, and send the Xinan County Lord to take a bath and change clothes."

The two maidservants came up and wrapped Chen Xinan in a velvet cloak as they were ordered, and left surrounded by them.

Chen Xinan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and only slightly squatted down to salute when passing Mrs. Ouyang and his parents and elder brother.

"It deserves it!" Cao Ruicen cursed secretly.

Lin Xingwei knew that she would not let it go, and neither would the Chen family's father and brother. The red palm prints on her face were still clearly visible, and she looked at Chen Xinan as she drove away with a gloomy face.

"Ah, why did Youning's face get beaten like this..." Mrs. Ouyang walked up to Lin Xingwei, feeling very sorry for her.

The elders of the Lin and Chen families all had gloomy faces and did not speak. The Chen family's father and brother were angry that Chen Xinan's erratic behavior made the Chen family lose face in front of everyone.

Mrs. Nanyang Hou was angry that her daughter had been beaten for no reason, and she looked fiercely at Wei Mingji who was clenching her teeth at one end.

The father and brother of the Chen family threw up their sleeves and left angrily, and handed over the matter to Princess Yingchuan.

Fortunately, not many people saw this matter, only Wen Lin was an outsider who had nothing to do with it. This man will take up the post of Yushitai in the next year. At such a critical moment, he should not spread gossip about girls.

When Lin Xingwei poured pear ointment on Chen Xinan before to complain, she only told her elders that it was Princess Yingchuan who told Mrs. Ouyang and Mrs. Nanyang Hou that Lin Xingwei was to be called in for questioning.

When Cao Ruicen was looking for his cousin, he happened to bump into him, so he defended Lin Xingwei a few words. He was so angry that he asked his maidservant to go to Zuoqiuzhi, and told about Chen Xinan and Huang Xuan's repeated provocations to Lin Xingwei at another banquet. Tang Wei Mingji.

Only then did Mrs. Ouyang say that she wanted someone to invite Lin Xingwei to inquire about the process of the incident. She didn't want a servant girl to come and say that Chen Xinan had beaten Princess Youning.

Mrs. Ouyang glanced angrily at Princess Yingchuan, who was suing just now, she spoke vigorously before, saying that her daughter was poured with hot pear ointment for her innocence, and in a blink of an eye your daughter was beaten.

Princess Yingchuan had an apologetic expression on her face, and Mrs. Nanyang Hou's expression was gloomy, but she was still calm.

Ordinarily, she was reluctant to blame the orphan girl, but she was provoked and beaten. Mrs. Nanyang Hou's heart hurt like a knife gouged out.

Mrs. Ouyang called Lin Xingwei and other relevant people to a spacious room in the backyard, and questioned them carefully.

Wei Mingji, the central figure of the cause of the incident, and Wen Lin, the witness, also followed.

Before Chen Xinan came to wash and change, Mrs. Ouyang asked Huang Xuan first.

Huang Xuan was originally stern and soft-hearted, and he pretended to be a tiger, and the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him and Chen Xinan, so he had to avoid the serious and ignore the minor.

Huang Xuan said in a trembling voice, "It was County Master Ning who learned that the county master of Xinan came in General Wei's carriage this morning, so he was so angry that he poured the county master's pear ointment on him."

"You talk nonsense!" Cao Ruicen couldn't listen anymore, and said angrily: "As early as the day of Taigong Lin's birthday banquet, you and Chen Xinan were provoked by General Wei. He came to congratulate Taigong Lin on his birthday, and said a lot of nasty things afterwards."

"Do you think we forgot or something? At my house today, Princess Youning and I sat far away. Chen Xinan ran to say that he wanted to apologize to Princess Youning, and I scolded him. You said General Wei today He and Chen's father and brother are here, let us not bully Chen Xinan!"

"What's the matter? General Wei is Chen Xinan's future husband?"

Lin Xingwei nodded frequently, Huang Xuan was so frightened by Cao Ruicen's barrage of questions that he was speechless.

Mrs. Ouyang glared at her daughter and said, "Stop talking, let Miss Huang talk!"

Concubine Yingchuan is still here, she still wants to let the witnesses of the Chen family argue, she still has to give her some face, what's wrong with being so aggressive.

With Mrs. Ouyang's backing, Huang Xuan had confidence in his heart, and continued without Cao Ruicen's influence:

"Princess Youning poured the hot pear ointment on the county magistrate, which made the face of the county magistrate Xinan red, and the magistrate of Xinan beat the magistrate of Youning. An eye for an eye is justified. You shouldn't push the county magistrate into the water, it would be nice if someone died in the ice and snow."

Speaking of this, Princess Yingchuan wept silently, "Our Chen family only has this one daughter, if she loses her life..."

"There is only one orphan girl in my family. As far as I know, the other brothers of the Chen family have many children, and the third brother of my Lin family has only Princess Ning and a daughter." Mrs. Nanyang Hou choked before she finished speaking. soundtrack.

In such a comparison, there is indeed no one more pitiful than the Lin family. Father and brother are dead, orphans and widows, and Chen Xinan provokes and beats him for no reason. Isn't he a bully?

Princess Yingchuan was dumb and dared not say anything.

Cao Ruicen hugged Lin Xingwei's shoulder pitifully, Huang Xuan shrank back and did not dare to say more.

Wei Mingji took a hard look at Wen Lin who was sitting beside him, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"

Wen Lin was very apologetic, and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, although this matter has nothing to do with Wen, I shouldn't be discussing it here, but since Wen is Princess Ning's foster brother, it is about Wen. "

Brother?Madam Hou of Nanyang and Lin Xingwei looked at each other, one asked when she had a brother-in-law, and the other shrugged and replied that she didn't know when she had a brother-in-law.

Wei Mingji also looked at Wen Lin in surprise, thinking that this guy has only been in the capital for more than a month, when did he climb up to the Lin family?

He should go back and ask Zuoqiu Zhi and his confidantes why he didn't even find out about such an important matter, so he might as well stop messing around in Shangdu Mansion and send them to clean the stables.

Mrs. Ouyang doesn't care whether Wen Lin is the real righteous brother, as long as she speaks for the Lin family, she will listen to it.
