Du Yaoyao did not look for Chen Jie first, but chose to look for his cousin, Lin Shuyan.
Sometimes, when a woman doesn't understand what a man says, she is just pretending not to understand, not that she totally doesn't get it.
Chen Jie mentioned Lin Shuyan several times in the past, and his jealous expression and words made Du Yaoyao guess that Lin Shuyan was interested in her.
A man's feelings for a woman begin with affection and end in bed. It is difficult to completely separate love and desire.
Du Yaoyao sent a letter to Lin Shuyan.
–
The library in the center of Linfu Lake.
The maidservant A Ling carefully brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup, and presented it to the young and elegant gentleman, "Whose letter is this?"
As she spoke, she coquettishly leaned against his shoulder, "It's just a letter. Why did you take so long to read it?"
Lin Shuyan put the letter back into his sleeve, and his thumb and index finger, which were holding the letter, turned white and his palms were wet.
He didn't take her tea, but stood up from the desk and said, "You go to bed early tonight. I'll go back to the main house to rest."
Ah Ling's appearance was special, so in order to hide her from others, Lin Shuyan placed her on the top floor of the library where few people came and went.
"No." Ah Ling was very reluctant, "Brother, do you think Ah Ling didn't serve you well enough last night?"
A Ling was born in a skinny family in the south of the Yangtze River. She was well trained and had beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Her every frown and smile was gentle and charming.
"No." Lin Shuyan stared at A Ling's face. The letter in his sleeve was like a burning fire, making him feel uneasy.
After all, they look similar, but they are not the same person.
He did not stay to be affectionate with her, but made excuses, "I have something else to do. I'll accompany you another day." He turned away in a hurry on the boat.
Ah Ling stood at the door, looking at the boundless lake. She was like a trapped bird, resting lonely on this small island.
Lin Shuyan started to inquire about Du Wenwu the next day, and within a few days, his various unusual movements reached Shen Jie's ears.
"Master Lin received a letter from Qingzhou, and removed the ever-burning lamp that was offered to 'Yao Niang' in Lingtai Temple outside the capital. In the past few days, he has been wandering around the Censorate and the Dali Temple, trying to find out about Du Wenwu's imprisonment. He also wrote a petition to plead for mercy, saying that it is not easy for candidates to study hard, and asked the emperor to be lenient with the cheater."
Liu'er summarized the information collected by the secret guards and reported it to Chen Jie in a flash.
Chen Jie stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, thinking deeply about the doubts behind the news.
After receiving a letter from Qingzhou, Lin Shuyan turned off the lights.
"Yao Niang" was the pseudonym Du Yaoyao used when she first met Lin Shuyan and asked him for help.
A perpetual lamp is a lamp that burns day and night after a person dies. Buddhists say that it is used to guide the souls of the dead to the underworld, and also means to pray for the dead.
Lin Shuyan kept the lamp burning for Du Yaoyao. As a man, Chen Jie knew exactly what was going on. He couldn't control the desire of others to spy on her.
He did not offer this kind of lamp because he did not believe that Du Yaoyao was completely dead.
So, who sent the letter that made Lin Shuyan turn off the lights?
Does this mean that Lin Shuyan knows that Du Yaoyao is alive?
Chen Jieru caught a glimmer of hope in the darkness. He suppressed his excitement and ordered, "Send someone to keep a close eye on the Du and Song families. If Cui Niang and Song Xingkai make any move, report it to me immediately."
