Second spring

After Lin Huijia left, the mother and daughter inevitably guessed again.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, Lin Huijia sent Momei back, saying that it would be difficult to return to Lin's house in the next three to five days: "Princess Linglong's illness is very urgent, and it seems to be smallpox. People in the mansion are panicked, and they dare not spread the word. We can only seal up her yard to prevent the people inside from going out, and throw all food and food in."

"Master said, the three little masters will stay at home for the time being, and let's see Princess Linglong's condition. The master said again, my aunt is ill, please keep it a secret." Mo Mei said with a serious expression, He said again: "The slaves have to go back to serve."

"En, you go." Mrs. Lin didn't ask any more questions, but just instructed: "Be careful, don't be careless."

Everyone at that time knew the severity of smallpox.

If Zhao Linglong is really smallpox, there is no need for Mrs. Lin to give more instructions. For the sake of her own life, she will naturally adopt isolation and disinfection, and if someone fails to hold her back, she will burn the things behind her...

It's just that Zhao Linglong is fine, how could she contract such a fatal disease as smallpox?

After Mo Mei left, Mrs. Lin was very puzzled.

"Retribution." The corner of Lin Minjia's mouth was full of disgust, and he said: "She has such a wicked mind and misbehavior, even talking about it makes my mouth dirty."

Lin Yijia didn't have as many emotions as Lin Minjia. After thinking about it carefully, she frowned and said, "I think she's a little sick."

Smallpox is of course powerful. Once discovered, it will spread rapidly, and everyone panics.But precisely because of this, this disease is also like various natural disasters of drought and flood.It doesn't come easily.What's more, it starts with a princess.

"This kind of disease will only scare people away, and there will never be people who want to visit her." Mrs. Lin took a sip of tea and said: "I have been ill for a few days and declared that she is gone. The fire burns people, and if they are clean, they will be praised to know the seriousness..."

That is to say, since the time when the palace sealed off the courtyard.No one will be able to see Zhao Linglong's true face inside.Or, who knows if she is inside or not? !

I just don't know, what happened to her to make the palace completely give up on Zhao Linglong?From now on, Zhao Linglong might really be "lost"... a princess.Ah.

"It's none of our business, don't worry about it." Mrs. Lin raised her hand and said to Lin Yijia.

Lin Yijia nodded slowly.

At this time, someone from the front came back and forth, saying that Mrs. Li had come to ask for an audience, and she had already been led to the hall of the Pine Forest Court to wait.

"She insisted on coming in. It's not easy for the people at the courtyard gate to stop her." Mother Feng replied.

Mrs. Lin got up and said, "Well, I'll go here."

Lin Minjia and Lin Yijia did not follow - because of Li Wenbo's relationship.None of them wanted to face Mrs. Li, a relative.

"Why is she here now?" Lin Minjia frowned in doubt, and then sighed: "It's useless to come. It's the emperor's personal decree that Li Wenbo's official military exploits were taken away, so who can tell? Yes, but he is an official of the Ministry of Rites, not to mention that he has no sympathy to intercede for Li Wenbo, and he has no control over the military department."

"My cousin also asked to come to my house before, and I heard that my eldest sister also went there. But..." Lin Minjia shook his head.

Li Wenbo plotted Lin Yijia's reputation, no one in the Lin family would help him.

I just feel that Mrs. Li is a little pitiful.Didn't talk to Mrs. Li about it.Up to now, Mrs. Li still thinks that her eldest son is a prodigal son who turned his head back, and that the meritorious deeds in the blood mountain and sea of ​​blood are promising, but because of some inexplicable incidents, these meritorious deeds are written off, and they are no longer counted... Mrs. Li I feel very unfair.

"Our father told my cousin that we will wait for two or three years before making any plans." Lin Minjia frowned and said, "My cousin won't ask for it for a long time. When my parents came back, she didn't have much What to say, I don’t know why I came this time.”

"I'll find out if I ask my mother later." Lin Yijia suddenly remembered Zhao Linglong's illness, her heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips.

Pine Forest Court.

Mrs. Lin was startled when she heard Mrs. Li's words, and asked, "You said that Wen Bo disappeared? What do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Li is much older than a few years ago, her face is haggard, and her hair is mostly white.At this time, she was crying with tears and snot all over her face, and said in a pained voice: "Wen Bo was fine at home the day before yesterday, and the servant didn't see him yesterday morning... His room was turned into a mess, and many things were lost. Not to mention, quite a few bloodstains were found on the ground..."

Mrs. Lin became serious when she heard that, and asked, "Is there blood in the room? Are you not mistaken?"

Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "How could you be mistaken? One of his black clothes was turned into a hard shell, and he threw it under the bed..."

"Have you reported to the official?" Mrs. Lin asked.

Mrs. Li shook her head again, crying and said: "No. In Boss's situation, there are more troubles and fewer people who give charcoal in the snow. I don't know what happened to him, and whether he has offended someone again. I don't have a mind, and I don't dare Report to the officer."

The person Li Wenbo offended... Mrs. Lin was silent for a moment, thinking about how strange Mrs. Li's remarks were, and asked, "What did you lose?"

"Some gold, silver and jewels...maybe a strong person came to the door, hurt Wenbo, robbed the things and left." Mrs. Li wept softly: "But it's just a matter of robbing, where did the people from Wenbo go? If I can make more money, but I’m gone, how can I live in the future!”

At this point, she finally burst into tears.

Mrs. Lin comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't cry, it's not the time to cry yet." She said to Nanny Feng: "Go and call the young master." Then, Mrs. Lin said to Mrs. Li: "My husband has gone The yamen is not here for the time being, I will ask Jiakang to lead a reliable person to accompany you to take a look. Sister-in-law, you also know that Wenbo came back from the battlefield. I don’t know how many battles he has gone through. How can something happen so easily? You can rest assured , keep home, don't let other people take advantage of the loopholes..."

Mrs. Li heard Mrs. Lin's words, as if she had got a bad idea, and she was determined - yes, her son didn't die on the battlefield, so why did he die in Shengjing City instead?What happened to the blood, it might not be his...

Even if it was his, she felt distressed, but Wen Bo didn't necessarily take it seriously!

On the contrary, it's at home... I married Wen Qiang last year and my eyelids are shallow. Seeing the chaos in the house now, I might hide a lot of things secretly, and then just say that I lost it... Thinking of this, Mrs. Li wiped it dry. With tears in his eyes, he said: "What my brother and sister said is that I really can't mess myself up."

"It's right for my sister-in-law to do this." Mrs. Lin expressed her appreciation and comforted her.

After a while, Lin Jiakang got the news and rushed over from the front yard to meet him.

Mrs. Lin briefly talked about the situation of the Li family, and told him: "... There is a man named Zhou Cheng in the nursing home at home. He is an old outpost who has retired from the battlefield. He is very reliable. Go to him and check for your cousin, what's going on."

Lin Jiakang agreed without saying a word, took the order, went out to order people, and left with Mrs. Li.

This trip didn't take much time.

Before leaving the Yamen, Lin Jiakang brought Zhou Cheng back and reported to Mrs. Lin: "...Looking at the traces, it's not a strongman's invasion, but it's more like Mr. Li was injured outside and jumped into the yard from the back wall , opened the door and bandaged it a little, then took medicine, gold and silver and other things, and walked away from the backyard wall again."

"It is true that Li Wenbo returned from an injury?" Mrs. Lin asked again with certainty.

"That's right, the subordinates can't misread such traces." Zhou Cheng said firmly.

Mrs. Lin knew Zhou Cheng's ability in her heart, knowing that he was so sure, she should be close to each other.Then, Li Wenbo was injured outside, but he didn't dare to recuperate at home... Mrs. Lin thought for a while, and asked, "Have you told Mrs. Li the truth?"

Lin Jiakang answered from the side: "Mom, I told him to tell the truth. Otherwise, my cousin might not let us go. However, Uncle Zhou also mentioned that since Li Wenbo can climb over the wall, it shows that he is not alive. It's dangerous, so my cousin's heart is at ease."

"It's just that after the second cousin heard about it, she had a quarrel with her cousin, and she was about to get annoyed, so we left." Light fragrance, just like a pair of ink painting scrolls, timeless and romantic.

"You handled it well." Mrs. Lin looked at her only son with a smile, and nodded in satisfaction. She was rewarded by Zhou Cheng, and after talking with Lin Jiakang for a while, she let him go back to the front yard.

After that, she inevitably talked to her two daughters again.

Later that evening, Yang Guangbei returned to Fenghewu.

Lin Yijia grabbed him, bit her lips and asked, "Did you go out for the past few nights to do something? Could it be... Li Wenbo really set off the firecrackers that day?"

Yang Guangbei nodded.

"Zhao Linglong and Li Wenbo..." The thought that popped up in her mind was unbelievable even to herself.

"Li Wenbo, how could he take risks for love... Zhao Linglong wouldn't..." Lin Yijia muttered, thinking, Zhao Linglong will fall in love with Li Wenbo?joke!If she really likes it, Zhao Linglong can marry Li Wenbo, so why bother to make such a move!

Yang Guangbei said disdainfully: "What is the purpose of your cousin hooking up with Zhao Linglong? Isn't it so that one day he can win Zhao Linglong's heart, so that the Prince's Mansion can come forward to restore his military position and military exploits? I heard that Zhao Linglong was imprisoned. If you want to see him, of course he will come by appointment.”

"And Zhao Linglong is even more stupid, she was really moved by his behavior, she put on makeup and ran out to find him... Hehe, she really thinks that she is loved by thousands of people, and everyone wants to take care of her honor For the sake of the honor of the Prince's Mansion, always considerate for her?"
