Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 251 Guess the person behind the scenes
Mo Lin nodded, "Thank you, Young Master." Then he left with his head bowed.

Xiao Lin thought for a while in his yard, and then got up to look for Xiao Yuan. Although his sister is not reliable, he still needs her sometimes.

Xiao Yuan leisurely basked in the sun in the yard, eating pastries and drinking hot tea.After a heavy rain, the weather becomes very good, and the sun shines gently on the earth. This kind of good weather is rare in autumn.

After Xiao Yuan sent Jing Ning away, she has been lying on the imperial concubine chair. Anyway, because she was sick, her mother would not let her go out, so she simply stayed at home to take care of her body.Recently, it was because of the marriage between Jing Ning and her elder brother, and then about Yaoyao and Chen Zhi.She put the half-eaten pastry in her hand into her mouth and chewed it. This horseshoe cake is quite delicious, next time you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for Jing Ning, you must bring her some for her to try.

"Miss, the young master is here." The maid Sui Xi stepped forward and put the egg custard in her hand beside Xiao Yuan, followed by a man, it was Xiao Lin.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's relaxed and contented appearance, Xiao Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, "Is this horseshoe cake delicious?" He pointed to the only one cake left on the table and asked.

Xiao Yuan usually only dares to be presumptuous with Xiao Lin when Jing Ning is around, but now that Jing Ning is gone, she instantly becomes a docile kitten.

"It's delicious. I plan to bring some for Jing Ning when I go to the prime minister's house next time." Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

Xiao Lin glanced sideways, "If you eat too much sweets, you will become stupid, just become stupid yourself, and don't drag Jingning down."

Xiao Yuan snorted, and didn't want to talk to Xiao Rin anymore, but she didn't dare, and asked through gritted teeth: "What's the matter with you coming to see me? Jing Ning went back, don't you know? It's still someone you sent. "

Xiao Lin nodded, his tone was light, "I know."

"I came to you for another reason."

"What's the matter? Now you think highly of your sister's IQ?" Xiao Yuan raised her chin with pride.

Xiao Lin directly chose to ignore it, and continued, "Have you told Lan Yao about the rumors passed on by Doctor Yushi?"

As soon as she heard about Lan Yao, Xiao Yuan's expression changed immediately, and she sat down sternly, "I told Yaoyao, what's the matter?"

"Does Duke Fu know?"

"Didn't you say that Duke Fu is so cunning that he must have guessed it?" Xiao Yuan was puzzled.

Xiao Lin just took a sip of the tea that Sui Xi had just poured for him, and suddenly he choked, he quickly put the cup back, coughed a few times, his face was cold, "I'll just ask you to answer."

Xiao Yuan stuck out her tongue secretly, the ice cube man! "I should know, Yaoyao said that she would tell Duke Fu when it was time for Su Yaoyao."

Then he looked at Xiao Lin who was frowning, and asked, "What's wrong? Brother? Did something happen?"

Xiao Lin thought about it, and decided to tell Xiao Yuan her conjecture, "There is another force behind Doctor Yushi."

Xiao Lin thought that she would see Xiao Yuan's surprised expression, but who knew she just gave a faint 'hmm', then picked up the last horseshoe cake on the table and ate it, and said vaguely: "I know this."

"You know?" Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows, when did his sister start to grow brains?
Xiao Yuan glared bitterly at the surprised Xiao Lin, she really looked down on herself, "I just know!"

"Jing Ning guessed it." Xiao Lin said with certainty.

Xiao Yuan's aura just now disappeared in an instant, she lowered her head, "It was Qianqian, Yaoyao's younger sister Lanqian guessed."

Lan Qian?Xiao Lin was puzzled, he had always only paid attention to Jing Ning, and never cared about other official women, he only occasionally heard that Lan Yao had a younger sister, and it turned out that her name was Lan Qian.

Xiao Lin nodded, and didn't bother with this question anymore, "A few days ago, I ordered someone to check the person behind it, to see who told the news to Dr. Yushi," Xiao Lin paused, and glanced lightly at him The woman of light continued, "But I didn't find out."

"What? Elder brother, your intelligence battalion didn't find it either?" Xiao Yuan was surprised with a look of disbelief.

Xiao Lin nodded with a flat expression, "Yes, I can't find it, there is no trace. It shows that this person is very powerful and not simple."

Xiao Yuan frowned, "Brother, you can't even find out, so what should we do?"

"In the past few days, I have heard news from people in the palace that Chen Zhi was placed under house arrest by the emperor in his own palace yesterday." Xiao Lin's expression sank, knowing that the emperor had also heard the rumors among the officials before he put Chen Zhi under house arrest. end.

"Chen Zhi is under house arrest? What about Yaoyao?" Xiao Yuan shouted.

Xiao Lin gave her a cold look, and looked around without leaving any traces in his eyes, "Why, don't you know that the partition wall has ears?"

Xiao Yuan's eyes dodged, knowing in her heart that she was wronged, so she honestly didn't speak again.

"After going to court today, the emperor left Fu Guogong behind, and I don't know what he said. I guess he also asked Chen Zhi and Lan Yao about it."

"This doctor censor is really too much! Doing such a villainous act." Xiao Yuan felt sorry for her sister.

Xiao Lin said: "He is doing it for his own benefit."

"Brother, you actually speak for this kind of person." Xiao Yuan was even more dissatisfied.

"I'm just telling you that a person will do things that hurt others for his own benefit, so don't be stupid in the future. As a lady of the general's mansion, you can't just eat, drink, and have fun, but also have a brain to protect yourself." Own."

This is the first time Xiao Lin said these words to Xiao Yuan, and the words were deep and deep.

Xiao Yuan froze for a moment, feeling different emotions in her heart. She knew that she had a brother since she was a child, and this brother was very good, so she would find him when she made any mistakes, and then her brother would solve it for her. , no matter what it is, he can solve it.Although this elder brother is cold and has a poisonous mouth, he is still very tolerant of himself.So Xiao Yuan does things very freely, because she knows that she has an older brother who is always behind her.

But today, when I suddenly heard Xiao Lin tell me that I was going to grow up, I felt very sad.

"I see." Xiao Yuan lowered her head and said softly, twisting her fingers.

Xiao Lin looked at it quietly for a while, then sighed silently, "Mr. Fu doesn't know how to deal with this matter. I don't think Lan Yao knows about Chen Zhi's house arrest. If you go to find Lan Yao Just tell her."

"I'll go now." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuan was about to get up and go to the Fuguo Mansion, but was stopped by Xiao Lin, "Nonsense, you are still sick, stay at home obediently."

"It's useless to go to Lan Yao and tell her now, just stay at home and rest, and it won't be too late to go after you recover from your illness in two days." Xiao Lin said.

Xiao Yuan nodded obediently, and knew that there would be no solution if she just went to report the news, and Yaoyao would definitely be worried if she told Lan Yao that Chen Zhi was under house arrest.He listened to Xiao Lin's words, and didn't pick up the matter of Fuguo Duke's Mansion.

Xiao Lin curled her lips in satisfaction, it was rare for Xiao Yuan to be so honest and obedient.

"Okay, you can rest at ease. Don't eat too much of this pastry, it's not good for your stomach." Xiao Lin pointed to the empty plate and frowned.
