Yusui Chang'an

After saying goodbye to Han Qingru and getting in the carriage, Chu Chengyao's face instantly darkened.

Before his death, Minister Sun betrayed several of his men. With the prince's scheming, he could not have thought of such a vicious method. It must be that Qin Zongliang wanted to sacrifice the pawn to save the king and drag him into the water at the same time.

He ordered Zhong Yi to inform his people, to be more cautious about the East Palace and the Duke's Mansion, and not to contact them unless necessary. He also asked them to check the current whereabouts of Sun Shangshu's family. Zhong Yi agreed to all the requests and immediately started to do it.

Within a day, they followed the maid of Sun Lingxiu, the daughter of Sun Shangshu, and found the whereabouts of Sun Shangshu's children.

Chu Chengyao's eyes were stern:
"Since Shangshu Sun is so loyal to the Eastern Palace, let's reward him by reuniting his family. Shangshu Sun would be a little lonely over there alone."

Zhong Yi agreed, and then said that Yan Ling accepted the invitation, his eyes dark:

"How is Lin Jinyun's investigation going?"

Zhong Yi stole a glance at his master's expression, and answered respectfully, reporting back on Lin Jinyun and Zhou Yuexue's past interactions, and then said:

"Miss Ying'er said that on the day the princess returned home, Shun'er ran into Lin Jinyun when he was out of the house and ran back in fear. Afterwards, the princess sent away the servants and the Zhou family.

According to the information obtained, Lin Jinyun entered the Lin Mansion through the back door that day... The princess's return to Shangyang from the Lin Mansion in her early years seemed to be related to Lin Jinyun.

Dong'er, who had entered the mansion to look for the princess a few days ago, was also punished for this. Lin Jinyun was also beaten with a stick. Because the incident happened in the inner house of the Lin mansion, although there were few servants in the Lin family, they kept their mouths shut about the matter. It seemed that the Taifu and Old Madam Lin had warned them not to find out what happened. "

Although I don't know what happened in detail, but it was able to make the usually good-tempered Master Lin so angry that he disregarded the face of his relatives, drove Zhou Yuexue back to his hometown, beat his eldest grandson, and told the servants not to mention it. This shows that something big must have happened.

It is not difficult to guess what happened between a man and a woman that was beyond description and even angered Master Lin enough to cause him to take action... Chu Chengyao suddenly felt nauseous, but he suppressed it and rushed to the restaurant to keep the appointment.

After meeting, he exchanged greetings with Gu Yichen and Yan Ling and their spouses:
"When you two got married, I couldn't leave the house, and I was tricked into falling asleep, so I didn't get to drink your wedding wine. I've been busy with chores lately, and I just finished my work, so I thought of asking you out to make up for it."

The couple thanked him politely and spoke to him as harmoniously as if they were family.

After three rounds of drinks with Gu Yichen, Chu Chengyao used the excuse that Zhou Yuexue was pregnant and couldn't leave the house, and also mentioned the handkerchief on the grounds that they had a deep bond.

Yan Ling's expression changed slightly, and her smile faded. She glanced at Gu Yichen beside her, looked at Chu Chengyao with hesitation, pursed her lips, picked up the teacup, and suppressed her words.

Chu Chengyao, who had been staring at Yan Ling, saw this and knew that there must be something behind this matter. He asked in a nonchalant tone:
"Come to think of it, last time in Ronghua Hall, you mentioned this handkerchief. From your tone at that time, it seems that there is something wrong with this handkerchief?"

Seeing that both of them were looking at her, Yan Ling found a pastry not far away and sent Gu Yichen away on the pretext that she wanted to eat it now.

The two were newlyweds, Gu Yichen happily agreed and went out. Chu Chengyao teased a few words and brought up the handkerchief again.

Yan Ling said in difficulty:
"Yan Er didn't let me say it..."

Chu Chengyao patiently persuaded:
"It's all in the past. It's just a joke if you tell me about it. Why can't we tell each other about it, brother and sister?"

I remembered Lin Jinyan's instructions: It has nothing to do with us. As long as His Royal Highness Prince Jin doesn't ask you about it, there is no need to mention it. (End of this chapter)
