The servant continued, "Just as the Second Young Master was about to be knocked unconscious, a woman suddenly rushed over. Guess who it was? It was the Second Young Master's first wife! She immediately threw herself on him, and Mr. Lin didn't dare to hit him anymore, so he had to stop. The concubine stood by miserably, not daring to say anything."
"Wait." Xie Ling interrupted him, "Where did your second young master get his original wife? Didn't I hear that he left home a long time ago? And what about a concubine? Shouldn't that be his wife? He didn't say anything."
Xie Ling's eyes turned cold.
Could it be that Lin Qianzhong is a marriage scammer?
Oh.
If that were the case, she wouldn't mind taking Caiyi away.
"The Second Young Master was just out doing business, he wasn't going to come back. Seeing that the Second Madam was old enough, the Lin family took her in. Although the Second Madam didn't formally marry the Second Young Master, she was included in our Lin family tree and is a member of our Lin family. So that outsider woman is a concubine.
By the way, how do you know so clearly? At that time in the main hall, the second son was in a very awkward situation, with a cold face, saying that he would never accept the second wife, saying that the concubine was his legal wife. I don’t know what happened later, but after a few days, the second son accepted the second wife. Maybe he found out about the goodness of the second wife, right? "
Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding the whole situation.
After Lin Qianzhong left that year, the Lin family, probably for the sake of profit and reputation, did not make it public and only said that he had gone out to do business.
Moreover, the Lin family shamelessly took his fiancée away, leaving that woman as a widow for so many years.
But when they were on the boat, Xie Ling saw that Lin Qianzhong's feelings for Caiyi were not fake at all. Why did it become like this in just a few days?
How could he be so disrespectful to her and allow others to humiliate her?
Shouldn't they just find out who is endangering them and leave in a cool manner?
Thinking of this, Xie Ling sighed lightly, and when she raised her head, the majestic and magnificent Lin family mansion stood before her.
The house has black tiles and white walls, and there are a few sycamore trees planted around it. It is quiet, elegant and makes a rustling sound when the wind blows.
"arrive!"
The servant was very excited and walked in front to lead the way.
"It's magnificent, let me tell you, the Lin family's house is..."
Xie Ling looked at the entrance of the Lin family. There were many people carrying medicine boxes and wearing scarves being led in by other servants. They walked in hurriedly. Most of them were middle-aged men, smelling of herbs.
Xie Ling recognized at a glance that it was someone from her industry.
I guess he saw the Lin family's list, was jealous of the vast amount of gold, and wanted to come and treat the doctor.
"Sun Laoliu, others bring doctors, why did you bring back a delicate young lady? Are you crazy about money?"
On the corridor in the distance, a tall and thin servant pointed at Sun Laoliu and smiled.
Sun Laoliu's face darkened. He blocked Xie Ling behind him and cursed: "You blind, stupid pig, get out of here! I'll ask my uncle in the kitchen to deduct your lunch!"
The servant fell silent, shrank his neck and walked away.
Sun Laoliu still felt it was not enough, so he punched the man twice in the air to vent his anger.
"What a dog that looks down on others!"
He didn't realize that this sentence was also a scolding to himself. Small people have small people's fun.
Sun Laoliu brought Xie Ling and Gu Wei to a yard full of people.
Looking around, there were gray-haired old men everywhere.
The two young men, Gu Wei and Xie Ling, stood out.
A man who looked like a housekeeper came over, looked around, and said in a loud voice: "You are all talented people, but the old man is not in good health, and can only allow one doctor to see the patient a day. During this period, you can all stay in the Lin family, and the food and drink are all excellent."
As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube and said, "There are bamboo slips inside. Let's draw lots to decide. It's fair and just."
Everyone prayed in their hearts that they would get the first one.
After all, if the first person cured the disease, then wouldn’t the next person’s visit be in vain?
When Xie Ling went to get the signature, the housekeeper's expression did not change at all, and was very calm. He treated her as an ordinary doctor, neither amazed nor belittled her.
As expected, people who are used to the ups and downs of life will not be shocked by anything and are also good at hiding their emotions.
"Third? Not bad."
Three days at the Lin family was enough for her to figure out what was going on between Lin Qianzhong and Caiyi.
Caiyi was so good to her, she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
Just as Xie Ling put away the wooden sticks, Sun Laoliu beside her swiftly squeezed into the crowd and, with great movements, snatched a good yard for her and Gu Wei.
Sun Laoliu ran over with the key in hand, proudly saying, "This yard is close to the kitchen, and there are rockery and lake, is that okay?"
Xie Ling asked in a low voice, "Let me ask you one last question. Do you know where that concubine lives? I'm a little curious."
Sun Laoliu turned his head and glanced at Xie Ling. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "It's in Lanruo Court in the south. It's near you, on the other side of the lake."
"Thank you."
Sun Laoliu answered loudly, "Oh, what are you thanking me for? I have to go now. Goodbye, big brother. If we have time in the future, we can discuss poetry together."
Gu Wei smiled faintly and nodded.
"good."
After Sun Laoliu left, other servants came over and led the two of them to their residence.
On the way, Xie Ling asked the question in her mind, "How did you manage to have such a pleasant conversation with Sun Laoliu?"
Gu Wei raised his eyes and said, "I saw ink on the inside of his right palm and thin calluses on the knuckle of his middle finger, so I guessed it. It was just an accidental mistake, not worth mentioning.
As for the poems he liked…There are many scholars in the world who write articles with high intelligence, but few who write simple poems. Zhao Changtu is the master of simple poems, and he happened to be a servant. It is easy to guess that Sun Laoliu likes him.
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Gu Wei's mind is quite meticulous. He was able to obtain so much information in a short period of time, and find the corresponding words and countermeasures. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has a very keen mind.
As they were thinking, they had already arrived at the gate of the yard.
It is indeed clean and tidy, small and unique. The rockery and flowing water in the distance complement each other, and it is quiet and cold, quite charming.
Letting Gu Wei wait for her in the yard, Xie Ling went straight to the other side of the lake.
From a distance, I saw a dilapidated and desolate courtyard with weeds growing outside. Two burly old women were standing at the door.
As soon as Xie Ling walked over, the two maids glared at her. However, seeing Xie Ling's elegant and calm demeanor, they did not dare to say anything else. They could only ask, "Who are you? The Second Young Master has told us not to let anyone in!"
Xie Ling narrowed her eyes, too lazy to speak, and used silver needles to anesthetize the two of them, then pushed the door open.
The furnishings in the yard were simple, with a stone table and a withered tree. Sitting under the tree was a slender beauty in white. When she heard the door open, she raised her misty almond eyes and looked over from afar.
Xie Ling frowned.
Why did Caiyi become like this?
