In the rebirth, the abandoned wife of a noble family turned black

Chapter 28 28 Focus on the overall situation
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou's hand holding the teacup suddenly shook, and the water in the cup instantly spilled out.

Lin Qingxu didn't know why Zhou was suddenly so excited, but without thinking much, he stepped forward and took her tea cup and put it on the table. Seeing the slight red marks on her back, he asked with concern, "Mother ,Are you OK?"

He took out a handkerchief and covered the back of her hand.

"No, I'm fine."

Zhou was a little embarrassed, but was afraid of her random thoughts, so she explained, "I'm just a little strange. Your second brother hasn't been to your mansion for a long time. Why did he suddenly want to go yesterday?"

"I'm confused too. My second brother hasn't been here since I got married. When he came today, I was a little surprised, but later I found out that he asked me to come back to see you because my mother was sick. "

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, but she still had other worries in her heart. She cautiously probed, "Apart from inviting you, your second brother didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right?"

Looking at Zhou's anxious face, Lin Qingxu frowned, "Mother, the second brother left after delivering the letter and did not do anything extraordinary. Besides, in the Zhenguo Hou Mansion, the second brother can still do What happened?"

Zhou's heart dropped, and she smiled dryly to cover up her embarrassment, "I didn't mean that, I meant that our family and the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion were originally related by marriage. Your second brother should have gone to the mansion to see the Marquis. I'm afraid He doesn’t know etiquette.”

"The Marquis is in poor health now and doesn't want to see anyone. My second brother wants to see him, but I don't allow him."

"That's it..."

Zhou finally felt relieved now, as long as the two of them didn't meet each other.

But she complained a little more in her heart. Her son usually seemed quite stable, but why was he so confused about this matter?
He was just hiding in the past, but now he can't help but come to the door. Isn't he worried about being discovered?

"Mom, I didn't come back from the family dinner before, but I heard everything that happened."

Lin Qingxu was so thoughtful that he didn't even notice Zhou's unnatural expression.

"Yes, really?" Zhou said absently, still complaining about her son in her heart.

"Mother, the rumors outside are terrible now. You'd better take care of your second brother. If he has any relationship with others, it may not be anything, but how can he have a relationship with the Crown Princess?"

Zhou's heart was beating loudly again, "Don't listen to those people's nonsense. Your second brother and the Crown Princess have nothing to do with each other. That's what those people are talking about."

"Mother, I know." Lin Qingxu did not doubt that Lin Ningkun and Jiang Xuerou were really related. It was just that people in Kyoto were like this, and some coincidences would be very mysterious.

"But people's words are scary. My Lord Marquis already knows about this matter, and he specially asked me to come here to tell you that this matter is related to the reputation of the two families, and you must handle it well."

Lin Qingxu did not believe that this matter was true at this time. It was just some gossip. She could not sit idly by and said, "My second brother has just returned to Kyoto. All aspects of his future need to be taken care of. At this time, public opinion will also have an impact on him." , Mother doesn’t want the money I just lent to go to waste, right?”

"What you are saying is that I will definitely find out who the person who spread the rumors is, and I will definitely not let her go."

Seeing Zhou's reaction, Lin Qingxu felt relieved.

"Mom, my second brother has been back for so long. I heard that his relationship with my second sister-in-law still hasn't eased?"

"How can I control the affairs between the two of them?"

"Mom, my second brother is wrong in this matter. Although the marriage was not what he wanted at the beginning, my second sister-in-law has supported the Hou Mansion alone for so many years. Now, although the life of the Hou Mansion is still not as good as before, it is still considered good. Get on the right track and marry a virtuous wife. What more can a husband ask for if he has such a wife?" Although emotional matters cannot be forced, if Lin Ningkun is a smart person, he should know that even if he doesn't like Jiang Ruan Xi, he should give Jiang Ruan Xi Ruan Xi respects him enough.

Lin Qingxu couldn't help but persuade Mrs. Zhou, "Mother, His Majesty attaches great importance to the harmony in the family. The relationship between the second brother and the second sister-in-law is related to the future of our Lin family. You must persuade the second brother well and consider the overall situation. It’s important.”

Zhou's face looked troubled.

In fact, she didn't want to persuade Lin Ningkun, but how could Lin Ningkun listen to her.

Lin Qingxu knew that the Zhou family had always looked down upon Jiang Ruanxi's status as a merchant, and also knew that no matter what she said, the Zhou family would not listen to her, and she did not want to care about the Lin family's affairs.

So he changed the subject.

"I heard some time ago that the child brought back by my second brother was called the mother of the imperial concubine of our family. He also said that the child looked like the imperial concubine. I was a little curious and wanted to meet her."

Zhou stiffened and said without hesitation, "The child went to school and is not in the mansion now."

Lin Qingxu didn't doubt that he was there. He stood up and said, "In that case, let me go and see my second sister-in-law. She hasn't come back after being gone for so long. I'm afraid she's too busy."

Mrs. Zhou was a little dissatisfied with her daughter. She came back to see her. Why did she go to see Jiang Ruan Xi? It was her duty to be busy.

Lin Qingxu didn't care about Zhou's mood and went out directly.

After she went out, Mrs. Zhou took a sip of tea to calm her down, and told the maid next to her, "Go out and ask someone to watch Brother Xiao. Don't let Qingxu see it. If she sees it, don't look at me." Skin them."

"Yes, old lady." The maid knew Zhou's temper and couldn't help but shrink.

**
Lin Qingxu arrived at Jiang Ruanxi's yard. Jiang Ruanxi was reading the account books in the house.

"I guess you must have returned to your own yard." Lin Qingxu entered the house and looked very familiar. "Mother is nagging you, and you definitely don't like to hear it."

Jiang Ruanxi just smiled, neither admitting nor denying.

He just said to Hongye, "Second Miss is here, let's make a pot of good tea."

The smile on Lin Qingxu's face deepened, and he sat next to her, "Second sister-in-law is still kind to me."

After Nuanluo finished speaking, she thought of Zhou's matter again, and the smile on her face faded a bit, "Second sister-in-law, I'm really sorry about my mother's matter."

Jiang Ruanxi didn't speak, but there was no smile on his face.

Lin Qingxu knew that she was not very happy in her heart and felt a little weak.

But for the sake of her mother's family, she still said bravely, "My second brother is young and a bit arrogant. I don't know how good you are, but I believe that he will definitely not do anything outrageous. Those gossips are just It's just a joke, second sister-in-law, don't take it seriously."

Jiang Ruanxi was stunned for a moment. Looking at her trembling and cautious look, she just felt it was very funny.
