But being curious, she didn't ask after all.

When he returned to the city because it was too late, the carriage was interrogated at the city gate. Although he knew that Zhou Yan was the prince of Chang'an Hou, the Yuzhou city guards still opened the curtain to check according to the rules.

When he saw a woman sitting inside the carriage, the inspection guard's expression changed and he quickly lowered the curtain to let her pass.

After the carriage left, no matter what others asked the guard about what he saw, he refused to say more, so he did not spread the news about Lin Xingling's late-night meeting with Zhou Yan.

When they arrived at Nanluogu Alley, Lin Xing thought of the man's face and said with a smile: "It seems that he misunderstood, and he should have explained it just now."

"How to explain?" Zhou Yan held his forehead and asked with a slight smile, "Do you mean that you and I went to dig graves late at night?"

"That would turn into a ghost story." Lin Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She turned around and got off the carriage, saluted Zhou Yanfu before turning around and entering the hospital.

She originally thought it was already late at night and Zhao Jie might have fallen asleep, but as soon as she entered the flower hall and saw Zhao Jie waiting for her with an oil lamp lit, Lin Xing was stunned and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Have you ever put my father in your eyes before returning home late at night?" Zhao Jie looked gloomy, but still tried to suppress his anger, "Have you forgotten your identity?"

"You are the one who forgot your identity. Are you the one who questions your elders like this?" Since she wanted to talk about her identity, Lin Xing was not polite to him and used the airs of her elders to suppress him.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Zhao Jie's face turned ugly. After a long while, he moved his lips and said, "You can't give birth to a son as old as me!"

"Then when I marry your father, you should call me mother." Lin Xing glanced at him rudely, walked to the main seat next to him and sat down, "Today the prince and I went to check out the medicine store."

Zhao Jie had already learned from Uncle Zhong about his father's change of drug store during his lifetime, and his anger subsided a bit when he heard Lin Xing explain to him.

He glanced at Lin Xing strangely and muttered: "This is so decent. I am the head of the family, you should..."

"Who taught you this?" Lin Xing suddenly interrupted him, her eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of warning, "I don't have rules about respecting men. I am the one who investigated your father's death.

, I am the one who decides whether to separate the family. If you really want to say who is the owner of this family, it should be me, not you. What have you done for this family? How dare you call yourself the head of the family in front of me?

?”

Zhao Jie was so angry at her that he scolded her fiercely: "Just because my surname is Zhao and your surname is Lin! Besides, who told you to separate your family? Did you ask me before you made your own decision?"

"The family has been divided. It was a contract signed by your grandfather and grandmother personally. If you can't let them go, I can send you to prison to reunite with them." After Lin Xing finished speaking, she thought of the only member of the Zhao family who has not been arrested.

Zhao Jing sneered and said, "Just in time, I'll send you and your second uncle in to keep your grandparents company."

She has not pursued the matter involving Wan Qian Gambling House, so Zhao Jing has been able to live freely until now.

When Zhao Jie heard that she was really going to send him in, he immediately panicked and quickly shook his head and said: "I didn't say I couldn't let go, so don't just talk!"

After saying that, seeing that Lin Xing's expression had recovered and was no longer as cold as before, he asked cautiously: "Are you really not going to save the Zhao family?"

"You want to save?" Lin Xing raised her eyes and glanced over.

Zhao Jie wanted to say no, but when he thought of what Uncle Zhong said to him in the afternoon, he felt a little discouraged.

"I don't want to save him, but Uncle Zhong said that if I don't save him, I will definitely get a bad reputation for being unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust in the future. Then no one will dare to do business with me."

Lin Xing sneered, "If you don't want to save him, then don't save him. When the time comes, let them spread the accusation of murdering your father, and I'll see who dares to gossip."

"But, I heard that my grandfather took more than 200,000 taels of silver from the shop. If I don't save them, can I get the money back?" Zhao Jie asked with a look of pain on his face.

Lin Xing looked at him, her eyes falling between her eyebrows, and after a long time she said, "If you want to save me, just save him."

After Lin Xing finished speaking, she knocked on the table, making a crisp sound in the night, which shocked Zhao Jie's heart.

"It's just that you have to understand, it's because you want to save, or there are people who want you to save. If you can't let go of blood and family ties, it's okay to save, but if someone wants to use blood and family ties to kidnap you, and you have to save, then you

You have to doubt this person’s purpose.”

Lin Xing rarely preached to him. This was the second time, but Zhao Jie understood it as soon as he heard it.

After he came back alone in the afternoon, Uncle Zhong tried hard to persuade him for a long time, hoping that he could rescue the Zhao family from prison.

Zhao Jie didn't want to save him at first. After all, the Zhao family killed his father, but he couldn't stand Uncle Zhong's sharp tongue, especially the sentence: "The young master is the only one left in the Zhao family's big house. If the wife moves,

If I have other thoughts, no one will protect the young master. Although the old man is partial, he is a member of the Zhao family after all. He cannot write two characters of Zhao in one stroke, so he will definitely protect the young master."

Thinking of Lin Xing hiding his father's death and going out together with Chang'an Hou Shizi, Zhao Jie couldn't help but feel a little defensive in his heart.

Uncle Zhong was his father's confidant, so he naturally believed what he said, so he planned to discuss the matter with Lin Xing when she came back. Who would have thought that he would have to wait until night.

Under the cold gaze of Lin Xingling, Zhao Jie could not bear the pressure and poured out what Uncle Zhong said to him like beans from a bamboo tube.

After hearing the end, Lin Xing could only sneer, "What he said is grand, did you know that he once let the crown prince enter my courtyard? From my point of view, although the crown prince of Chang'an is cynical, he is willing to save you and me in times of crisis.

As the Zhao family is in trouble, even if I come here for the Que Ling Seal Letter, this kindness is enough to be remembered. On the contrary, Guo Zhong deceived me and left me unattended, and allowed the prince to come to the house. How can he be able to bear the word of loyalty?"

If it was not Zhou Yan who came that day, but someone else, if Zhou Yan was not a gentleman - even though he barged straight into the room, he was not a gentleman. If Zhou Yan really had evil thoughts, then where would her reputation be? She was innocent.

Where?

Zhao Jie was so shocked by Lin Xing's anger that he didn't dare to speak. Thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but blame Uncle Zhong and feel full of dissatisfaction.

"If he speaks for the Zhao family like this, he must have defected a long time ago! Or we should report it to the officials and arrest him as well, so that he can be his master's companion!" Zhao Jie became more and more angry as he thought about it, got up and walked out.

"It's so late, even if you go to break the drumstick, no one will pay attention." Lin Xing glanced at him coldly, just thinking that he was just putting on a show for herself.

When Zhao Jie turned back angrily, she said: "Since you are all on guard against me, I will no longer care about this matter in the future. Except for the bird feather seal letter that your father asked me to keep, I will not ask about other matters of the Zhao family."

"No, I was wrong..." Seeing that she was about to give up her choice, Zhao Jie was at a loss for a moment.

"And the Zhao family, if Uncle Zhong wants you to save it, go and save it. If you don't follow the clues, how can you know who his master is?" Lin Xing interrupted him, stood up and rolled her sleeves, "This is the last time I will help.

You, please wish yourself well in the future."
