Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 538 Intricate
The relationship between the two parties has reached this point, and Grandma Lu no longer needs to choose her words and sentences, she can really get straight to the point.

After saying that, regardless of the embarrassment or surprise on the faces of the mother and daughter, they left to pack up their gifts.She knew that Mrs. Lin had been kind to her, and of course she also meant to protect herself, so her parting message could be regarded as reciprocating the kindness.

Lin Rong was stunned. She listened to the conversation between her mother and Aunt Lu from beginning to end. She only didn't see what treasures were in the purse, but she already understood one thing: Aunt Lu had never looked down on her.

This was even more unacceptable to her than Miss Yu and her cousin's scheme against her, but she was a rare clever person: "Mom, Princess Fuyun sent Sister Lu to our Lin family in order to use you and dad to scheme against Yin Zhiruo, right? Just like Concubine Zhao in Prince Rui’s Mansion last time?”

Mrs. Lin was thinking about what role her niece Mingmingxin played in Lin Rong's miscarriage. When she heard Lin Rong's words, she temporarily diverted her thoughts and nodded happily: "Yes. Now that Zhiruo sisters are valued by the emperor, It's getting harder and harder to plot, so they tried their best to stimulate me, watching you being plotted, and even... adding fuel to the flames."

In the past two years, Master Lin has been in the limelight one after another. Lin Rong also followed Mrs. Lin into the palace to attend a spring banquet. She became more and more self-righteous and believed that many people wanted to curry favor with Master Lin, a celebrity in front of the emperor, and she herself would be looked down upon. a bit.Taking advantage of this moment to let Lin Rong recognize the reality is what Mrs. Lin wants to do most at the moment.

"So," Lin Rong's whole body collapsed, "Before, Aunt Lu and Aunt Xia who was next to Princess Fuyun were trying to trick me by saying that I had a good match with the princess?" Yes, now that I think about it, , people looked down on her at all, they didn't even bother to make up a few words of praise, and simply used "close eye contact" to fool her.But, is Lin Rong really that bad?

Mrs. Lin sighed: "There are many aristocratic families in the capital, and there is never a shortage of noble and talented women. You are quite outstanding in Luo City. Firstly, there are not many noble women in Luocheng, and secondly, it is because your father is the prefect of Luocheng. If it weren't for you Dad was rewarded for his achievements in Duanshan Bandit Den, and he was able to take us to a spring banquet. I am afraid that the Yu family will not give up on their bright minds and choose you at that time."

"Duanshan bandit den?" A bitter smile appeared on Lin Rong's face. If it weren't for the fourth girl Yu Yurong's words, "Even your own cousin said that your father's contribution to the Duanshan bandit den was for nothing?" She would have been irritated. Nor would he stretch out his foot to trip up Yu Yurong and make her look embarrassed.

Mrs. Lin was also stunned: "Ming Ming Xin?" It seems that her sister's family is also very jealous of her own.Also, in the past, the Ming family was stronger than my own family in every way. Every time the eldest sister saw her, she always looked sympathetic and pitiful. The only time she failed to negotiate a marriage with the Yu family, the whole blame was placed on the Lin family?Is it possible that Princess Fuyun plotted against their mother and daughter this time, and there was someone from the Ming family among them?How could she forget that Aunt Mingmingxin's son married the eldest granddaughter of the Zhengli family.

Mrs. Lin's heart was cold and her hands were trembling. She had been in Luo City for too many years and she was no longer able to take advantage of the complicated interpersonal relationships in Beijing.People's hearts are unpredictable. She suddenly thought of her previous plot against Yin Zhiruo and Yin Zhiruo's change in attitude towards her, and sighed. Fortunately, she woke up in time.

What Mrs. Lin didn't know was that it was precisely because she woke up in time and resolutely warned Zhiruo to be wary of Princess Fuyun and the Li family's schemes that she was able to successfully get rid of Mother Lu, and that she was able to save the lives of Magistrate Lin and their family in the near future. He was not implicated by the Li family and the Ming family.In the secret room of Biquan Manor, Zhiruo is looking at a simple hand-drawn drawing. If Grandma Lu were here, she would definitely be shocked, because this picture is exactly the same as the one she drew by herself. Of course, it is a one-to-one copy. down.

"I can't tell where it is," Zhiruo asked, "In the palace? Or in which temple?" The only place where Nanny Lu could appear and hide things before leaving the palace was in the palace, and not anywhere else. The concubines went to that temple to offer incense and so on.It's a pity that although she has been to the palace several times, she is really not familiar with the various locations of the palace. She is not as familiar with the Forbidden City as later generations. After all, when visiting the Forbidden City, there is a detailed map of the location and introduction by the tour guide.

Liang Dashan nodded: "From various speculations, it should be in the palace. Moreover, the things she hid are probably related to Concubine De and the Li family. According to our investigation, Grandma Lu had a cousin who was in the Prince's Mansion during her lifetime. As a maid, she is the Crown Princess, that is, the eldest maid in the Queen's courtyard today. Nanny Lu has been in the palace for more than ten years. Although she has never been favored by the Queen to work with the Queen, she can be a sixth-grade secretary. She should be The queen's care is also indispensable. At least, the queen did not embarrass her." They had no informants in the palace, and the information they could find was too limited.

He curled his lips knowingly: "If there was indeed something fishy about the assassination in the Prince's Mansion, and there was something wrong with Concubine De, plus that Aunt Lu is now obviously a member of Concubine De's ship, the connection cannot be untangled. Chaos. Even if there is no evidence, there will always be intriguing clues left. The queen is not stupid, how could she keep such a person by her side." The golden cage in the palace is a women's arena. Even if you can't see the light of the sword, it's still life and death. Who can sit on the throne of the first palace with a smile for many years and not fall down? Who doesn’t have a better heart than Bigan?Both the empress and the concubine had children because they prevented disasters for the emperor, but their current treatment was completely different. This was definitely not just about the difference between wives and concubines.

"It's a pity that we don't have anyone in the palace," Liang Dashan said regretfully, "Bago recently made friends with an father-in-law, who said he has some connections and abilities in the palace. I don't know if he can be used or how soon he can be used."

Zhiruo shook his head: "Don't be impatient. The water in the palace is too deep. Don't act rashly unless you have to."

Liang Dashan obviously thought the same thing: "I guess that Nanny Lu won't go get that thing for a while." Mrs. Lin has made it clear that she will not wade into muddy water, and the reason why Nanny Lu left that thing behind is There are considerations in not taking it out from the palace. The places that seem to be the most dangerous are often the safest.It is precisely because of this that Liang Dashan speculated that the things hidden by Grandma Lu were related to Concubine De.

Well, Zhiruo smiled. She could consider everything she could about planting spies and using nails. Liang Dashan and the others had already taken care of it, and they thought more carefully.

"By the way, is there any movement in the two rooms?" Zhiruo suddenly thought of what Yin Zhiqing said the day before yesterday that Yin Zhilan was also in the British Government House. Those two uncles had been too quiet recently. It was because they knew that their siblings were going to live in the British Government House. Government, so let Yin Zhiqing and Yin Zhilan charge?
"No," Liang Dashan actually felt strange, "Yin Hui has been unlucky one after another recently, and the business of Jiaoyan Xiangzhuang is not as good as before. Maybe he has too much time to take care of himself."
