Chapter 34 The Family's Weakest
Chapter 34 The Family's Weakest
Xu Wenyan was called back, and Lin Xingzhi asked him to explain clearly, what does it mean that they didn't see them kissing?
At the same time, Xu Wenyan also found that His Royal Highness King Li looked at him with much gentler eyes, as if he was about to kill him with his eyes.
Of course, when Xu Wenyan learned that what he just saw was just a pure picture of sand getting into one eye and another person helping to blow it, he could only sigh that everything was a coincidence.
What a fucking coincidence.
It is really a crime for him to interrupt His Royal Highness King Renli's good deeds with such a small amount of memorization.
Xu Wenyan sincerely made a suggestion, "Cousin, please close the door when you have a private meeting with His Royal Highness Prince Li in the house, and arrange two people at the same time, one guarding the arch and the other guarding the corner. Don't give me a chance to destroy it. Can you treat me well?"
"The General's Mansion shouldn't be short of servants, right?"
"Of course, if there is no one to ask for it, you can put a note on the door. Although I haven't read a few books, I still know the words. I promise to turn around and leave when I see the note."
"Really, even if you yell and break your throat in the house, I won't go in and disturb you..."
"Shut up!" Lin Xingzhi finally couldn't stand it anymore after hearing Xu Wenyan's blah blah blah.
He walked to the door and pointed to the corner, "Get lost!"
"Oh," Xu Wenyan obediently went out, but he didn't intend to climb over the wall to go home, but pointed in the direction of the arch, "I'm going here, I'm having dinner at your house today."
After walking a few steps, I still didn't forget to turn around and explain to Lin Xingzhi, "I brought the vegetables myself."
Lin Xingzhi ignored him with a cold expression.
Xu Wenyan walked a few steps further and turned back again, "Cousin, don't worry, I won't tell about your private meeting with His Highness Li Wang, and I will stop other people from disturbing you..."
Lin Xingzhi raised his chair with one hand.
Xu Wenyan immediately shut up, and ran out of Haitang Garden with a brisk walk.
Then Lin Xingzhi put down the chair, closed the door, and even bolted it.
Chu Zhao looked amused at his series of actions, and said, "My cousin, Wangfei, is also an interesting person," and he was very talkative.
Lin Xingzhi turned his head and sneered, and kissed each other privately, which was exactly what Chu Zhao, a rascal, wanted. How could it be boring.
Seeing this, Chu Zhao tactfully changed the subject, squinted one eye, and waved to Lin Xingzhi, "Princess, let's continue."
"Okay," Lin Xingzhi readily agreed, then forcibly twirled a pinch of ashes on the ground, and sent them to Chu Zhao, "To keep the truth, why don't I put something in the prince's eyes first, and then I'll give you a good look." blow."
Blowing words are extremely hard to bite.
"No...can't you?" His Royal Highness Li Wang rarely stammered, he didn't want to hurt himself.
Lin Xingzhi expressed his understanding, "You just want to take advantage of me, what kind of evil could the prince have?"
It’s true to say that, Chu Zhao admitted frankly.
Lin Xingzhi shook his head, "But I don't think so, my lord, we just have a marriage contract, but we haven't really married. You just want to take advantage of me. Isn't this what a good man should do?"
It's almost like calling him a shameless bastard.
His concubine is really not easy to mess with, but luckily he was well prepared.
Chu Zhao asked back, "What does the princess think the king is here for today?"
Lin Xingzhi's expression was innocent: "Didn't you use the excuse of delivering food to my house to let me brag about kissing you to take advantage?"
Chu Zhao sighed, it seemed that the princess had no good impression of him.
It was necessary for him to make a name for himself. He took out a post from his pocket, "Princess, why don't you read this first."
Lin Xingzhi took it and unfolded it, and saw several dates, the ninth day of October, the twelfth day of the winter month, and the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
"This is a good day to get married this year according to Qintian's supervision, and it will be October soon." Emperor Jianyuan has never cared about his marriage with Lin Xingzhi since he bestowed the marriage, and Emperor Jianyuan obviously didn't want them to be real. married.
Although he was very moved by the queen's proposal, he couldn't help worrying about what would happen if the Lin family really stood behind Chu Zhao.
So now, it is best to tie the two together with a marriage contract so that they cannot mess with other people, and because they are not officially married, there is always a gap of hatred.
But Chu Zhao didn't intend to follow Emperor Jianyuan, and Lin Xingzhi also wanted to marry him early, so he sent someone directly to Qin Tianjian to let people count their days.
Fortunately, it was rumored outside that he was forcing the marriage, and he was anxious to choose a date to get married, so there would be no suspicion.
Of course, there was another reason. Chu Zhao was afraid that if time dragged on, the family of three would change their minds and would not allow them to get married.
Lin Xingzhi didn't know what Chu Zhao was thinking, he just watched these three days and counted them seriously.
It's already August now, and it's almost two months away from the ninth day of October, so I'm a bit rushed, and there will be autumn hunting at the end of September and early October, so I'm afraid I won't be too busy.
And the 28th of the twelfth lunar month is already the end of the new year, and it is even more inappropriate to get married.
So there was only the twelfth day of Dongyue left to choose from.
Seeing Lin Xingzhi pointing to the day in the middle, Chu Zhao nodded, "This king also thinks that Dongyue Twelve is the most suitable day, so it's settled?"
"Well," Lin Xingzhi responded, "It's time to get ready."
"Then you can go, too."
Chu Zhao:? ? ?
The princess is suddenly ruthless!
Chu Zhao couldn't help asking, "Did the princess go to the theater recently?"
"No?" Lin Xingzhi shook his head, not knowing where he came from.
"Then how did you suddenly learn how to change someone's face in the blink of an eye?" Chu Zhao explained his confusion.
"I was still asking me when I will marry you just last moment, and I was thinking about marrying me as my princess, but finally the date was set, and you are going to drive me away. Princess, you are so cruel!"
While speaking, he stretched out his hand to cover his chest, looking heartbroken and injured.
Lin Xingzhi: "...My lord, you are the one who should go to sing opera. No one in the opera troupe can compare to you."
"My concubine's praise," Chu Zhao accepted Lin Xingzhi's compliment with a smile, and bowed hands with him.
But still failed to impress Lin Xingzhi's "heart of stone", Lin Xingzhi got up and opened the door, and sent him out in person.
Chu Zhao had no choice but to sigh, got up and went out obediently, after all, his wife must listen to what he said.
Walking into the courtyard, Chu Zhao was still trying to fight for a chance for himself, "Princess, I didn't come here empty-handed today, don't you want to keep me for a meal?"
Lin Xingzhi did not speak, and the meaning of refusal was quite obvious.
His Royal Highness Li Wang felt sorry for himself for a moment, and finally compromised, and walked forward with his hands behind his back.
After walking a few steps, she turned back suddenly, "By the way, Wangfei remember to tell mother that she should bring more people with her when she goes out, just in case."
Lin Xingzhi frowned, "I haven't passed the door yet, who are you calling mother!"
Chu Zhao raised his hand to comfort him, "Okay, okay, don't call me mother, just call me mother-in-law."
"Chu Zhao!" Lin Xingzhi roared angrily, and was about to catch up and beat him immediately.
And Chu Zhaoxian had expected it a long time ago, turned around and ran, and in the blink of an eye, the man jumped over the wall and disappeared, leaving only Lin Xingzhi jumping in place, wishing to step on the position where Chu Zhao was standing just now .
After getting angry, Lin Xingzhi focused on Chu Zhao's reminder, closed the door, and went to find Mrs. Zhou.
It was only when they arrived that they found out that they had broken into a private meeting between him and Chu Zhao just now... Bah, Xu Wenyan, who was talking privately, was also there, and he was beaming and gesticulating with Mrs. Zhou, making Mrs. Zhou and Miss Lin Wan laugh so hard.
When Lin Xingzhi appeared, three pairs of eyes were cast on him, which made Lin Xingzhi's heart tense, worried whether Xu Wenyan had exposed him.
"Cousin~" Xu Wenyan spoke first, called him sweetly, and winked at Lin Xingzhi.
Lin Xingzhi became even more nervous.
"It's just right, and I saved someone from calling you. Wen Yan is eating at the house today, and our family hasn't eaten together for a long time. Let's eat in my yard today."
Seeing that the Zhou family did not mention Chu Zhao, Lin Xingzhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down next to him under Xu Wenyan's greeting.
Xu Wenyan leaned over, covered his mouth with his hands and whispered to Lin Xingzhi, "Don't worry, I didn't expose you."
The main reason is that he didn't dare, His Royal Highness Li Wang was not easy to provoke at first glance, and he couldn't move even with a single look. Xu Wenyan was worried that if he ruined this good thing, he might not live until his younger brother was born.
So keep tight-lipped about it, and promise that you will never disclose the private meeting between the two of them to anyone.
Lin Xingzhi was very satisfied with his way, and whispered: "Don't worry, my cousin will not treat you badly, and I will definitely introduce a wife who will satisfy you."
Xu Wenyan nodded again and again, very happy, marrying a daughter-in-law and letting his parents add another younger brother who can inherit the family business, his life will be complete.
After the two whispered, Zhou asked Lin Xingzhi why he came here, "Why did you come here suddenly, but something happened?"
They are all trustworthy people, so Lin Xingzhi said directly, "Mother, did you receive the letter from Dad, where are they now?"
Just as Mrs. Zhou was about to shake her head, the butler led a middle-aged man in. It was the man Lin Xingshang had met with Mrs. Zhou last time.
The middle-aged man saluted Zhou in a hurry, then took out the letter and handed it to her.
Mrs. Zhou quickly unfolded the letter, her expression changed upon seeing it, and she hurriedly asked the middle-aged man, "Are the general and Qi Er injured?"
"How many people are there in Beijing? Send them all, and make sure they return safely."
Seeing Zhou's reaction, Lin Xingzhi immediately stepped forward to take the person in Zhou's hands and looked at it. Like Zhou, his face was also not good after watching it.
The letter said that Father Lin and the others were repeatedly assassinated and ambushed along the way, and many people were injured in order to protect the people. Fortunately, someone secretly helped, and it was not as difficult as it was at the beginning.
From the words "difficult to walk an inch", it can be inferred that Chu Qin really spent all his money, and must kill Father Lin and others on the road.
The person who helped secretly was probably sent by Chu Zhao. If the assassination failed, Chu Qin must have a new trick.
No wonder Chu Zhao specially reminded them, presumably to threaten his father and second brother with them.
"These bastards dare to touch my husband-in-law and my son. When they are caught, I can't beat them to death!" Mrs. Zhou was already cursing. She slapped the table with her hand and the teacup shook three times.
Zhou's face was full of anger and told the middle-aged man, "Send everyone out. Remember, those who come to assassinate must be caught alive if they can. Bring them all back to me."
Zhou clenched her fists tightly, and she could foresee how those killers would be beaten up after they fell into her hands.
The middle-aged man didn't dare to raise any objections, and left after listening to his orders.
After the people left, Lin Xingzhi reminded Chu Zhao, "Your mother and younger sister must be careful when going out, and it is best to bring a few more guards, just in case."
As soon as he finished speaking, both Zhou and Lin Wan looked over, and their gazes on him were quite complicated.
Zhou smiled lightly, slightly mockingly, but said nothing.
But Lin Wan sighed, "Third brother, you should be the person who needs the most protection when our family goes out."
Lin Xingzhi: ...
He almost forgot that among the nine members of his family, only he and his infant nephew were weak chickens.
"Cousin, why do you have to humiliate yourself like this?" Xu Wenyan seized the opportunity to laugh at him.
When it was over, I humbly asked for advice, "Cousin, did I use the idiom correctly this time?"
Lin Xingzhi threw a cold stare, and opened his mouth to lip-sync Xu Wenyan—one more word, and your wife will be gone!
Xu Wenyan covered his mouth knowingly.
But Mrs. Zhou didn't intend to let her son go, and said, "Since that's the case, from tomorrow onwards, you should bring a few more people with you."
"I really ran into someone who wanted to kidnap you, and many people came back to report."
Lin Xingzhi rolled his eyes, showing a loveless expression, "You are really my mother."
Zhou's humility was perverted, "It should be," after all, she was born and raised by her.
Lin Xingzhi had nothing to say. Of course, he also refused Zhou's offer to send him guards, because his caring prince's fiancé had already arranged for him.
……
The next day, because the crown prince pleaded for the people in the early court, Emperor Jianyuan issued an order to release all the people, and Jin Yuwei stopped arresting people randomly.
There was a trend among the people to praise the prince's benevolence and kindness, calling him a lifesaver.
At the same time, brothers and sisters Lin Xingzhi and Lin Wan received invitations for this year's autumn banquet.
