Splendid Book

Chapter 33 Returning to Beijing
Shen Lingcheng is not an impulsive person, but at this moment, the anger in his heart was soaring, he jumped up on the Arhat bed, and took two steps down.

"Mother," Shen Lingcheng called out.

The old lady looked at him, also sighed, and said softly: "At the beginning, I thought her family background was not good, I'm afraid she wasn't a generous and kind person. But your mother-in-law just took a fancy to her. I know your mother-in-law is afraid If you are not from your own family, you will treat Changle and others poorly. But you see, this is not as good as outsiders."

Lin is Shen Changle's aunt, the more she thinks about it, the more chilling she becomes.

Ever since Shen Jin was born, Shen Lingcheng didn't like to go to Lin's yard. He felt that every word she said had a deep meaning, and every word had a meaning.He didn't want to think of Lin as that heinous person, after all, she was his daughter's biological mother.

But now he found out that he thought of her too kindly.

Shen Lingcheng sighed and said, "Mom, what do you think about this matter?"

The old lady sighed. The Lin family is the eldest daughter-in-law. It is a misfortune for the family to marry such a daughter-in-law.If it really happened, it would be just a joke of Duke Wei's mansion.The reputation of Duke Wei's Mansion cannot be damaged because of Mrs. Lin, and the old lady can't tolerate people who are always thinking about harming her granddaughter.

"You have to tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law about this matter. Otherwise, if we deal with the Lin family for nothing, we will have a rift with them," the old lady said after thinking about it.

Shen Lingcheng nodded, he understood what the old lady meant.

At this time, he sat back on the Arhat's bed, and said solemnly and with a little joy: "Mother, I heard that the emperor will formally appoint Mr. Gu Zhengfen as the chief assistant of the cabinet."

The old lady's eyes lit up, she was not an old lady in the back house who knew nothing about court affairs.When the old man was still there, no matter what, he discussed everything with her.After all, the old lady was born in the Lu family in Haining. Not only did her ancestors produce top scholars, but the number of Jinshi was dozens of people.The old lady was also a well-known talented woman in the capital, but too much time has passed, and now people only remember her as the distinguished old lady in the Duke of Wei's mansion.

"Okay, okay," the old lady said yes twice, Gu Zhengfen is a classmate of the old man, and the two of them were studying at Dongshan Academy together.Even if one of them came from an honorable family and the other from a noble family, although they have different positions, they have always been close relatives and friends.

Now when the old lady heard what Shen Lingcheng said, she understood what he meant.The Duke of Wei's mansion has been away from the capital for too long, and now it's time to go back.

"When are you planning to leave?" The old lady is not vague, on the contrary, she is very decisive. Since she has decided on one thing, she should complete it as soon as possible.

Shen Lingcheng had a smile on his face, from the bottom of his heart.He and the old lady have a deep relationship with his mother, and he has watched his mother deal with everything resolutely and decisively since he was a child.Compared with those women in the inner house who only care about their own gains and losses, his mother can focus on the overall situation, and everything is for the sake of the Duke of Wei.

"I can just write a letter to my father-in-law. Speaking of Changle, I haven't seen my grandfather and grandmother since I was born, so I plan to send her there first, and then take this opportunity to plead guilty like my parents-in-law," Shen Lingcheng said. Speak out your own thoughts.

The old lady nodded.

He went out of the yard, thought about it, and went to Lin's yard.

When he arrived, Mrs. Lin was putting Shen Jin to sleep.It's just that when Shen Jin saw him coming in, her half-closed eyes opened suddenly, and she was about to jump up from the bed.If Mrs. Lin hadn't held her back in time, she might have jumped out with bare feet.

"Sleep well," Shen Lingcheng said gently.

"Daddy," Shen Jin looked at him eagerly, as if he was very surprised and surprised that he would come at this time.

Shen Lingcheng saw that she was only wearing home clothes, not even socks, showing her white and tender feet, and immediately said, "Is Jin'er going to take a rest at noon?"

"Yeah, mother is coaxing me, I can't sleep at all," Shen Jin said coquettishly.

Lin glared at her from the side, as if teaching her not to talk nonsense.But Shen Jin didn't care at all, and was about to pull Shen Lingcheng's sleeve happily.Shen Lingcheng turned his head away, not daring to look at his little daughter's face again.

He told the servant girl in a deep voice, "Lead Fifth Miss out."

He Xiang at the side looked up carefully at Mrs. Lin, saw her nodding, and then carried Shen Jin to the inner room.But when Shen Jin left, she was still muttering about it, as if she was not happy that her father had someone take her away.

Lin's heart skipped a beat, obviously she felt that Shen Lingcheng must have something to say to herself.Lin couldn't help but began to tremble. Although there were unspeakable thoughts in her heart, if she was really discovered, it would be scarier than anything else.

When she thought that if that matter was discovered, she...

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Shen Lingcheng asked softly.

His voice is very soft, but it is definitely not soft, but it has a chilling creepiness.Lin only felt that the surroundings had cooled down. It was already July, but why did she feel so cold all of a sudden.

Lin shook her head immediately, and asked tremblingly: "What did the master say, how can I have anything to say to the master?"

"Really?" Shen Lingcheng sighed, and there seemed to be countless emotions hidden in this sigh, and even he himself couldn't tell them apart for a moment.

Lin's whole body was trembling with fright, her face was pale, but she still gritted her teeth and said: "Master, I really don't know about myself."

"Early this morning, the old lady sent someone to raid Madam Xu's house. Guess what those women found in her house?" Shen Lingcheng approached her and said softly.

When he said a word, Lin's complexion turned pale, and in the end it was as white as paper.

As soon as Mother Xu was mentioned, Lin knew that the knife hanging in her heart had finally come down.But she still didn't give up, maybe Madam Xu hadn't confessed yet, maybe they didn't even know what the spice was.

But these thoughts circled around in her mind, and her face became so pale that she couldn't bear to look at it.

"How dare you?" Shen Lingcheng pressed against her ear, smelling the faint fragrance of her body, but still couldn't restrain the nausea in his bones.

Lin's face became even paler, she trembled for a while, and finally couldn't restrain herself, she shouted: "My lord, this concubine has been wronged. That mother Xu is full of blood, and that spice is not mine at all, I didn't give it to her of."

She was completely flustered and just wanted to get rid of herself as soon as possible. This matter had nothing to do with her.

But who knows, as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Lingcheng took two steps back and stared at her coldly.This time, his eyes were cold, making Lin feel cold from the cracks in his bones.

"I haven't said it's spices yet, how do you know?" Shen Lingcheng asked her.

This time, Lin was so frightened that she even forgot to tremble. She stared straight at Shen Lingcheng, and there was only one thought in her mind, she was finished.

It’s over.

"When I looked at Jin'er just now, I felt sorry for her," Shen Lingcheng said almost through gritted teeth, and Lin obviously didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't keep her waiting, and reached out to grab her arm , Hate said: "Changle is your niece, how did you guarantee it to your mother-in-law when you married in? That's how you repayed her, and that's how you harmed my daughter?"

"I don't, I don't," Lin's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes. It was the beginning of summer, but she felt as if she was in an ice cellar. The cold air almost drowned her. She shook her head and shouted :"I don't."

"Not yet? Do you think no one knows your harmful thing? Let me tell you, even if no one knows, I will pry Madam Xu's mouth open. You have bribed her and monitored Changle for so many years. What kind of vicious intentions do you have, do you regard me as a fool?" Shen Lingcheng tugged at her arm, questioning one after another.

Lin took a step back, unable to stop the tears.

"In the future, I will make good compensation to Miss Jin," Shen Lingcheng looked at her and said softly.

He was very sorry to make Shen Jin a motherless child like Shen Changle.But it's better not to have such a vicious mother around.

Shen Lingcheng gritted his teeth, waved her palm away, raised his head and walked outside.

Lin's behind her, although she was crying, she didn't make a sound.

Shen Changle was in the yard, watching the servant girl playing Baisuo, originally the servant girl wanted to ask her to play together, but she waved her hands repeatedly.

So when Shen Lingcheng came in, all the maids stopped immediately in fright.He was not angry, but just waved at Shen Changle, Shen Changle immediately rushed over, threw himself into his arms, and shouted with a smile: "Daddy."

"Why didn't you play with them?" He pointed at these little maids and asked with a smile.

Shen Changle giggled and said: "They are all amazing."

Shen Lingcheng carried her into the room, and after a while, the servant girl came over with tea and fruit. He looked at the cold fruit, and frowned, "Why are you eating iced fruit now?"

"It's so hot," Shen Changle said obediently, shaking his arm.

Shen Lingcheng glanced at the maids in the room. Aunt Shun had already asked for leave, and Madam Xu had an accident, so only these little maids were left.Only then did he realize that there was not even a serious person in charge in this yard.

Seeing that his father looked sad, Shen Changle immediately asked softly: "Daddy, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Lingcheng looked at Shen Changle and thought of Shen Jin again.One of his daughters had already lost her mother, and now the other daughter was going to lose her mother, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Changle, do you want to go to grandma's house?" he asked.

Shen Changle was stunned for a while, but when he recovered, his voice was trembling with excitement, "But grandma's house, isn't it in the capital?"

"That's right, just to send Changle to live in the capital for a while," Shen Lingcheng smiled.

Only now did Shen Changle turn from agitated to calm, listening to what Dad meant, it seemed like she was the only one going?
She looked at Shen Lingcheng, the smile on her face gradually faded.After waiting for a long time, I asked sullenly, "Aren't Daddy and Grandma going?"

"There are big brother and second brother." She thought it was the Shen family who wanted the whole family to move back to the capital, but no matter what she heard, she was actually only asked to live in the capital alone.

If that's the case, she doesn't want to go.

"Stupid child," Shen Lingcheng looked at her sullen look, and immediately smiled, "You go to live in the capital first, and Daddy will come later, and this time our whole family will move back."

"Really?" Shen Changle immediately became happy.

Originally, she was still confused about when she moved back to the capital in her previous life, but she didn't expect it to be at this time.

"It's great," Shen Changle said from the bottom of her heart, she will soon be able to see her grandmother and aunt again.

Well, there is also Ji Yu.
