Chapter 146
"You only have one chance, so take advantage of it."
Lin Yunwan talked to Ling Xiang who was kneeling in front of her.
Lingxiang knew that the eldest lady was not joking with her. She nodded and said, "I understand, I understand..."
"let's go."
He took Xiruo out.
Someone was guarding this room, so Lin Yunwan went to the westmost inner room to see Qi Lingheng.
"Your Majesty."
Qi Lingheng asked her: "Is the trial over? What are you going to do?"
Lin Yunwan told Qi Lingheng her thoughts.
"Sue to the government. No matter how famous the Lin family is, they can't mess around in your fiefdom."
"You have just arrived in Jiang Qian to join the feudal vassal. The new official has been appointed as a new official. I don't think the head of the Lin family is so confused."
It was the east wind that King Huan borrowed from the vassal state.
"And Mrs. Lin's birthday is coming soon."
Jiang Qian's well-known family members all came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.
She didn't want to ruin the old lady's birthday.
Qi Lingheng smiled faintly.
She knows how to think about others. Will the Lin family think about her when the time comes?
Lin Yunwan suddenly felt that she had said too much, and she felt relieved and said: "I asked you to come and take care of my affairs in person. I'm really sorry."
She didn't hear Qi Lingheng's response.
After waiting for a while, I heard him sigh and say: "...it's a bit troublesome."
Lin Yunwan was stunned for a moment.
I felt even more sorry.
What is the identity of the prince? He is so concerned about such a trivial matter for her, running around...
"Miss Lin, it takes too much effort for you to do things like this. Have you ever thought about taking an easier path?"
The easier way?
What's the easier way? Where could she have taken an easier path!
Lin Yunwan frowned, feeling a little strange...
"My lord, it's time for you to go."
Ah Fu said outside: "You are going to inspect the Jiang Qian Guard Station tomorrow, and today you have to meet with the Jiang Qian Guard Commander and the Provincial General Soldier in advance."
Qi Lingheng and Lin Yunwan said, "I can't stay any longer."
He walked up to her and said, "I will ask Ah Fu to handle your matter, but things are not always smooth sailing. Sometimes he is a little more cruel than others."
Xiruo waited until Qi Lingheng had gone far before coming in to talk to Lin Yunwan: "Girl, shall we go back now?"
"Well, go back."
Lin Yunwan was lost in thought and went back to find Mrs. Zheng. After returning to the Lin Mansion, she didn't bother to talk to Xiruo.
"girl?"
Lin Yunwan came to her senses and said, "What's wrong?"
Xiruo made tea and brought it up and said, "You haven't spoken since you came back. Are you worried that Ling Xiang's matter won't be done?"
Lin Yunwan smiled and shook her head.
How could she worry about such a thing? She said: "Ling Xiang is in the hands of the prince, there is no way he can't do it."
"What time is it?"
"At the end of Shen Shi."
"When it gets dark, go dig out what Ling Xiang said and find a way to hand it over to her. Don't disturb anyone tonight."
Xiruo nodded: "I know this."
After it got dark, Xiruo quietly went to dig under the wall of Bixi Hall. She was very strong, and after digging for less than two-quarters of an hour, she found the cowhide bag that Lingxiang mentioned.
She filled in the soil quickly with her hands and feet, and carried the things in a cowhide bag to Lin Yunwan.
"Girl, look at it!"
Lin Yunwan leaned over holding a candle.
Xiruo opened the cowhide bag, and there were still several layers of things wrapped inside. It had been too long, and the things inside were so old that it was hard to see, but the handwriting on the innermost prescription could still be seen clearly.
"Girl, what a prescription."
Lin Yunwan nodded: "She didn't lie."
Xiruo said: "...More than ten years have passed since the incident. Even if Lingxiang wants to lie, it's very difficult. I think what she said should be the truth."
"Let's deliver it tomorrow. Do you know how to deliver it?"
"I know. But Zhao's mother... I'm afraid I have to ask too much."
"You only go once. Although she will be unhappy, she won't be suspicious."
But it is really inconvenient for Xiruo to leave the house like this all the time.
The prince is right. She is constrained in doing things now. She has no one of her own and does not have much freedom. But if a woman wants freedom, she can only marry and have children.
"Xiruo, clean your hands and blow out the lamp!"
Master and servant fell asleep together.
Lingxiang received the prescription as evidence, and took the petition to Jiang Qian's government office to sue the second wife of Lin's family. But she wasn't in a hurry to hand over the prescription.
The people in the government office were shocked when they received the petition: "Sue Mr. Lin's wife?"
He hurriedly handed it to the magistrate and said, "That woman wants to sue the wife of the second master of the Xilin family. Please take a look."
When the prefect saw the paper, he frowned.
He said habitually: "I copied it and sent it to Lin Huabin."
How can things in a big clan be spread out?
The birthday of the old lady of the Lin family was coming soon, and he didn't want to offend the Lin family at this time.
"yes."
The prefect sent his confidants and ordered: "Go and tell Lin Huabin personally and let him think about how to deal with it."
It happened more than ten years ago, and it was still a family matter of the Lin family, so it would be very troublesome to try it.
Let’s first see what the Lin family says.
Lin Huabin came back late today and met people from the government office. It was already dark, so he invited people to talk in the study room in the inner courtyard.
The two talked for half an hour, and Lin Huabin saw him off personally.
People came from the government office and from the inner courtyard, and Lin Yunwan heard the news.
Xiruo whispered: "Girl, it must be about Ling Xiang."
Lin Yunwan said lightly: "I don't know what the master will do."
Give Ling Xiang justice outside the court? Or continue to deceive others?
When she went to greet Mrs. Zheng the next day, she heard the couple arguing. Fan's mother came over with a bad expression and said, "Miss, I'm talking to my wife, so I don't need to greet you today!"
Lin Yunwan took Xiruo back.
But when I was leaving, I vaguely heard Lin Huabin saying: "I wrote the petition, and I heard that I still have evidence in my hand. The old lady's birthday is coming soon! I won't argue with you for now! Find her first!"
As soon as she went out, the courtyard of the master's and his wife's courtyard was closed and surrounded like an iron barrel to prevent the news from getting out.
Xiruo frowned and said, "Girl, it seems that the master plans to deal with Ling Xiang privately..."
But if you deal with it privately, there is no fairness at all.
Lin Yunwan sneered: "Master really won't let me down."
But this is best, then she has no scruples and can be more cruel.
"Xiruo, before the old lady's birthday, the Lin Mansion will light three sticks of incense at Ci'en Temple and ask Lingxiang to come to Ci'en Temple that day, and we will lead her to find the old lady."
At that time, you can't hide even if you want to.
"yes."
Ah Fu passed Xiruo's words intact to Qi Lingheng.
Qi Lingheng smiled lightly and said, "It's still not cruel enough."
"Ah Fu, when the old lady of the Lin family offered incense, she sent people to the treasure hall."
It’s not just about seeking justice when the old lady is offering incense and everyone is watching.
It also scared Lin Huabin and his wife out of their wits.
