This is very true. If Lin Zhaoyan had not told Zhou Wanyu not to tell the truth that day, Cheng Nanbo's mansion must offend Concubine Duan. [No pop-up novel website.

The He family, the foreign family of Concubine Duan, was affected by forces in Ningxia, Henan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and the northwest. Although Cheng Nanbo was in charge of the army in the northwest, he was in charge of others. As long as the He family made a little move, the Cheng Nanbo Mansion, which had a stable foundation, would suffer twists and turns. Although it would not have much impact, it would always have a headache for a while.

This is also why women who do not care about court affairs but have to go out for social engagements.

The relationship between the inner house reflects the relationship in the temple.

Lin Zhaoyan didn't know what the purpose of Miao said, so he just smiled and refused to answer.

Miao asked the maid to bring some snacks. When Lin Zhaoyan was not prepared to eat, he suddenly asked: "I heard that something happened in the palace yesterday. Chen Zhongling, the daughter of General Chen in the previous dynasty, was shot by an arrow. And Miss Lin, you almost couldn't come back."

Lin Zhaoyan was stunned.

Zhou Wanyu stuffed the osmanthus cake into his mouth and said bulgingly: "Yes, I was so scared this morning when I heard this news. Yesterday, my grandmother suddenly fainted. My mother and sisters were busy taking care of her, so they didn't go. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen."

Lin Zhaoyan thought for a while and said, "I just accidentally fell into the mountain pit, and there was nothing serious. As for why the girl Shen was shot in the arrow, I don't know."

Miao seemed to be very sorry, "It is rumored that Chen Zhongling was recalled from the southwest because the empress dowager intended to marry her to the third prince. She didn't expect such a thing to happen. It's so surprising! Alas, it seems that this royal family really has no way to get involved!"

Lin Zhaoyan was slightly surprised, but the next second he immediately understood.

Now that the crown prince has passed away, the third prince has great hope of fighting for the throne. The identity of the Marquis of Jian'an has increased, and many people come to visit the door to make contact. But they are all tactfully rejected by Mrs. Lin.

She didn't want to arouse the emperor's suspicion, but she took the initiative to curry favor with Nanbo's mansion. The complexity of the relationship was not something that Lin Zhaoyan and a woman could understand.

But she clearly saw Miao's attitude. Regardless of whether what she said just now, she said so bluntly. It was obvious that she did not want to have anything to do with the royal family or with the Jian'an Marquis Mansion.

She should be content and just wants to be a loyal and powerful minister!

She just mentioned the Seventh Prince to tell her that being friends with Zhou Wanyu is okay, but it is limited to personal relationships and cannot involve family interests.

Lin Zhaoyan suddenly felt that although Miao was decisive, she was really wise and wise, and had a very good grasp of things, so she could clearly understand what was to do and what was not to do. She also truly loved her children.

Unlike Mrs. Lin, she can be called "hypocritical".

But Lin Zhaoyan didn't know what to react, was he pretending not to understand or was he hinting that Miao would go home and bring her meaning to Mrs. Lin?

Fortunately, a maid entered the house at this time and said to Miao: "Madam, those two maids finally got it, saying that it was the eighth girl who ordered them to do it, and that it was for Aunt Fang, and that it was filial."

Zhou Wanyu whispered in Lin Zhaoyan's ear, "These two maids stole the things from my mother's house and sold them. My mother caught me on the spot. I called the warlock. I was reluctant to call me. My mother ordered people to whip them dozens of whips with rattans. They were still tight-lipped. Just now, they asked them to kneel in front of the hall and put gravel under their knees. When did they get up, they didn't expect that they were eight sisters."

Although Zhou Wanyu's voice did not sound gloating, he did not have any sympathy or sympathy.

Lin Zhaoyan had no sympathy. After all, even if the servant stole the owner's property, even if the owner did not deal with it, it would be a dead end to the government.

And it's really disgusting to steal something like that.

She was just wondering about Zhou Wanyu's attitude towards this matter.

Then he heard Zhou Wanyu say, "It's not the first time that eighth sister has done such a thing. Her mother endured it before and planned to give her a chance. After all, Aunt Fang came from her mother's yard. Who knew that she was becoming more and more unrestrained and actually came to her mother's room. If she didn't teach her a lesson, she would really not know that the world was so high."

I see.

Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but smile. She liked Zhou Wanyu's attitude very much. She just couldn't be soft-hearted when dealing with the enemy.

"Call Miss Ba and Aunt Fang for me." Miao spoke, although not harsh, but had a terrifying aura.

It seems that Miss Zhou Ba and Aunt Fang are in trouble.

"Mother, then I'll take Sister Zhaoyan back first." Zhou Wanyu treats everyone well, but she doesn't like Aunt Fang who betrayed her mother and crawled into her father's bed, and she doesn't like the eighth sister who is crying all day long. Miao wants to deal with them, but she doesn't even have the pleasure of schadenfreshing, but she just doesn't want to see them.

The Miao family had already achieved the goal of calling Lin Zhaoyan over, so they were not allowed to leave them and nodded.

After leaving the house, I happened to meet the two maids who were supported in, their legs trembling and they couldn't even walk.

Seeing their pale faces and fearless appearance, Lin Zhaoyan felt that they might not live long.

"Don't be afraid." Zhou Wanyu held her hand, "Although my mother is fierce, she is not such an unreasonable person, don't worry."

Fierce...

Zhou Wanyu has a good interpretation of his mother's temperament.

"I'm fine." Lin Zhaoyan smiled at her, "I have such things in my house."

Zhou Wanyu returned to his heartless appearance, "Let's go, I'll take you around the mansion. Don't look like it's quite dull, but there are treasure lands, but you didn't find it."

Lin Zhaoyan nodded.

Zhou Wanyu led her to the west and introduced to her excitedly: "There is a bamboo forest on the west side. The bamboos are dense and tall. You can make a fire and have a picnic inside, and you can also play hide-and-seek. It's very fun! Although it's not the tenderest time for bamboo, it's also beautiful. Why don't we call our third sister and the others to play hide-and-seek!"

"Forget it, just look." Lin Zhaoyan refused tactfully. It was really inappropriate to come to someone else's house to play hide-and-seek...

Fortunately, Zhou Wanyu did not force her and took her hand and walked westward.

Although there is no small bridge and flowing water in Chengnanbo Mansion, there are several stone pavilions. Zhou Wanyu told her that it was used for cool summers, and there was a large open space in front of her. Occasionally, she would set up a stage to invite the opera troupe to sing.

These entertainment activities are found by ordinary high-ranking players, and Lin Zhaoyan didn't find it strange, so he listened carefully.

When he walked to an octagonal pavilion, Zhou Wanyu suddenly stopped and pulled Lin Zhaoyan's sleeve. His voice suddenly became gloomy. "In this pavilion, there was a pregnant maid who once died here. It is said that every night, you can hear the cry of children and women..."

Lin Zhaoyan: “…”

"I heard that the maid was forced to death, so she was very unfair and her soul refused to leave..." Zhou Wanyu attached herself to her ear and murmured to the demon silkworm.

Lin Zhaoyan: "……………” Zhou Wanyu, you are calling me to cheat me!

"What are you talking about so mysterious?" A voice suddenly appeared behind you.

Not to mention Lin Zhaoyan, even Zhou Wanyu, who had just spoken scared, was startled, screamed "ah" and jumped up suddenly.

"What are you saying? I'm so scared?" The voice spoke with amusedness.

Zhou Wanyu looked over and a blush appeared on his pale little face, and he said angrily: "Brother! You don't make a sound when you walk! Like a ghost, you're scary!"

The eldest son of the Zhou family laughed even harder, "You are bored and you want to tell ghost stories to others, but you end up scaring yourself like this."

"What I'm talking about is the fact that there was a maid dead here!" Zhou Wanyu stammered his neck, still looking angry.

"Don't believe rumors at will." Master Zhou's voice became obviously cold.

"Hmph!" Zhou Wanyu pouted in dissatisfaction and pulled Lin Zhaoyan's hand, "Zhao'er, let's go!"

"Zhao'er?" Master Zhou frowned and looked over with a heavy look at Lin Zhaoyan, who looked over without seeing his face clearly.

Lin Zhaoyan heard this doubt and was considering whether to say hello. Originally, he had to avoid meeting a man outside in the inner courtyard, but since he took the initiative to speak, it seemed extremely impolite to leave like this.

She thought about it and turned around and gave a bow, "I have met Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Wanyu introduced on the side, "This is my eldest brother Zhou Tingchen." He said to Zhou Tingchen again: "Brother, this is Lin Zhaoyan, the fourth girl from the Lin Mansion."

Zhou Tingchen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in a lost voice: "Lin Zhaoyan?! Lin Zhaoyan from Jian'an Marquis' Mansion?" This tone seemed to be greatly frightened.

"Brother knows Sister Zhaoyan?" Zhou Wanyu asked strangely.

Lin Zhaoyan was also surprised. She subconsciously raised her eyes and saw a tough and handsome face, with straight facial features, clear edges and angular, wearing a black brocade robe, looking majestic and domineering. She looked like a martial artsman.

This should actually be a righteous face, but for some reason, I feel scared and depressed in Lin Zhaoyan's eyes.

By the way! His eyes.

His eyes are slender and deep, sharp, as if they want to split people's hearts.

Now this kind of eyes are looking at her, with naked repulsion and disgust, and I wish I could kill her soon.

Lin Zhaoyan's heart skipped a beat. She felt Zhou Tingchen's murderous intent. She suspected that if Zhou Wanyu was not present, he would have stepped forward to strangle her throat and pinched her to death.

Oh my god, how could she feel like this? And it’s so real? I feel that the neck is really painful and I can’t breathe.

Lin Zhaoyan has never been so afraid of a person.

Even Lu Yanzhi, she was just subconsciously scared, but it did not prevent her from talking and getting along with him normally. However, Zhou Tingchen, she didn't even have the courage to take a look, and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
