Chapter 39: Ambush
The news that Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wei were released spread like wildfire. When Lin Xing was resting in Nanluogu Lane, she heard Chun Mian talk about it.
Chun Mian served Lin Xing a cup of tea and whispered: "Not long after Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao came back, the housekeeper over there sent someone over to invite Uncle Zhong and the young master to go with them. But the young master didn't go and is still practicing hard in the yard.
What about numerology?"
After hearing the end, Lin Xing glanced at Chun Mian and said with a smile: "Is it that boy Zhao Jie who asked you to be a lobbyist?"
Otherwise, why bother mentioning numerology?
Chun Mian chuckled, scratched his stupid head, and said: "The young master said that he knew he was wrong, but he didn't know if the madam would forgive him, so he asked the slave to come and explore the way. Does the madam forgive the young master?"
"What is there to be angry about between me and him?" Lin Xing put down the tea cup, looked in the direction of Zhao Jie's courtyard, and said leisurely, "My life is tied to him, how can I have any choice?"
This Zhao Jie was the punishment given to her by the system. He always caused trouble for her. With him here, the system didn't have to set up obstacles for her. Zhao Jie could suppress her to death.
After coming back to her senses and seeing Chun Mian's puzzled eyes, Lin Xing smiled relaxedly, patted her head and said, "Tomorrow is the math competition, so I won't go. Then you can help me take care of the young master."
Chun Mian didn't know why he didn't go, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only nod in agreement.
During dinner, Uncle Zhong came back and reported to Lin Xing the current situation of the Zhao family and his wife with a normal expression. Lin Xing listened attentively.
After hearing this, she asked: "The old man called you over just to ask about the young master's current situation? Didn't he ask you to do anything else?"
Uncle Zhong shook his head: "The old man didn't say much. Now that the second master has entered, his only blood relative is the young master. Naturally, he will not attack the madam and the young master again."
"Having been imprisoned for several days, he didn't feel any grievance at all?" Lin Xing stared at the tea cup and asked as if unintentionally.
Sure enough, Uncle Zhong hesitated for a moment and said: "The old man still cares about it, but he only cursed a few times."
Can this matter be cleared up with a few curses?
Lin Xing didn't believe that Mr. Zhao was such a big-hearted person and that he must have back-up plans. She just didn't know whether he was going to attack her or Zhao Jie.
She glanced at Uncle Zhong and ordered: "Tomorrow Qingyun will meet, take good care of Zhao Jie."
"Madam, aren't you going?" Uncle Zhong raised his head in surprise, "If you were here, the young master would definitely be able to perform better."
Uncle Zhong's words made Lin Xing feel that something was wrong - ever since that day when he let Zhou Yan into his yard and slapped him a few times, the two of them had never talked as well as they did today. Uncle Zhong had always abided by his duty and would not
It's not even half a step forward, let alone trying to persuade myself to go out like today.
"No, he doesn't want to see me." She made an excuse at random.
But just after Lin Xing finished speaking, Zhao Jie came in from outside and retorted: "Who said I don't want to see you? If I knew you were so small, I wouldn't have said those hurtful words. It was all my fault in the past.
, I apologize to you here."
Lin Xing narrowed her eyes, stared at Zhao Jie dubiously and asked, "Are you sincere?"
"Why do you doubt me?" Zhao Jie was helpless, his eyes full of longing, "You will go to watch my game tomorrow, right?"
Before Lin Xing could think of an answer, Uncle Zhong said, "Madam will definitely go."
Looking at Uncle Zhong strangely, Lin Xing did not refuse, but just said: "Let's talk tomorrow."
Lin Xing thought that Uncle Zhong would not want her to have more contact with Zhao Jie, but she did not expect that he would agree on her behalf. Why did Uncle Zhong want her to go out so much?
With doubts in her heart, Lin Xing didn't sleep well that night, and she was late the next morning. When she woke up, the Qingyun Club was already halfway through the competition, and only Chun Mian was watching over her at home.
When Chun Mian saw her waking up, he immediately went to greet her. While helping Lin Xing wash up, he said: "The young master specially told me today that when Madam wakes up, she must go to Wanping Lake to watch the battle. It shouldn't be over yet."
.”
"Just what the young master told me?" Lin Xing asked after rinsing her mouth.
"Uncle Zhong said so too," Chun Mian answered honestly.
Lin Xing always felt weird in her heart. Why did Uncle Zhong want her to go out so much?
If something went wrong, there must be a monster, so I couldn't leave Nanluoguxiang.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Lin Xing wanted to stay, but something happened outside.
Before lunch, Chun Mian ordered the kitchen to cook. As soon as she came out, she saw a hurried man running into the courtyard. Chun Mian hurriedly caught up with him and asked as he ran, "Who are you? Why didn't you tell me when you came in?"
"I'm a neighbor of the Lin family! Something happened to the Lin family!"
The man ran to the flower hall. Lin Xing heard the noise and was walking out. When she saw the man, she recognized him. He was Zheng San'er, a butcher selling pork near Lin's house. She had a good relationship with Lin Zhengtang on weekdays.
"Xing Yatou, go back quickly! The water ran out of your house, your brother was hit by a beam and fell unconscious, and your mother fainted from fright!" Zheng San'er pointed in the direction of the Lin family and said hurriedly.
"How is my mother now? Is there anything serious? Have you called the doctor?" Lin Xing sounded a little anxious when she heard that the matter was related to the Zou family.
Zheng San'er was so angry that she stamped her feet, "Your mother just fainted, it's nothing serious. It was your brother Lin Guoer who was in trouble! When I came, he was still pressed under the beam!"
Seeing him in such a hurry, Lin Xing knew that she couldn't find out who Chou Yinmao was, so she could only have someone hitch a carriage and hurried to Lin's house.
She took Chun Mian with her and drove all the way to Lin's house. Zheng San'er was leading the way, but as she walked, Lin Xing realized that something was wrong with the road.
She calmly opened the curtain and asked Zheng San'er: "Uncle Third, are you going to take a detour?"
"Ah? Yes! This road is closer to home..." Zheng San'er turned back hastily and responded.
But Lin Xing took a look and saw that the road ahead became wider and sparsely populated. Even to death, she would not believe that this was the road to the Lin family.
In the carriage, Chunni didn't know what was going on. He raised the curtain curiously and said casually: "Is the Lin family in such a remote place? This place looks familiar..."
It was precisely because of these words that Zheng San was frightened.
Even a little girl can tell that this is wrong, and of course Lin Xing knows it too!
So Zheng Sanyi gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, drove the carriage and sped away.
Chun Mian was born and raised in Yuzhou. Seeing the increasingly familiar scenery, she was frightened and quickly took Lin Xing's hand: "Husband, madam, there is a cliff ahead!"
Seeing Chun Mian's panic, Lin Xing was unusually calm. She judged the speed of the car, then casually pulled off her belt, opened the curtain, and used her belt to strangle Zheng San despite the strong cold wind.
She said sadly: "If you don't stop the car, you will die with me!"
Zheng San coughed repeatedly and pointed to the back of the carriage in a hoarse voice, "It's... too late!"
Lin Xing turned her head and saw a rain of arrows from the sky.
