First Concubine

Chapter 214 Referring to a deer as a horse (3)

Shui Linglong said seductively: "It's not that I'm unfounded, but that Li Jing does have some abilities. I've met that woman before. Uncle Yu personally recruited her into the mansion. Her father specially kept her to help his mother and concubine when he was on a long trip. It’s both a trust in him and an affirmation of his ability. But even he couldn’t find any clues about the woman, which shows that the opponent is very powerful.”

Xun Feng's attention was successfully diverted, and he thought about the past in the direction Shui Linglong laid. Linglong looked at his thoughtful expression and said: "She didn't successfully mislead you this time, and no one can guarantee that there won't be a next time. What if...you suddenly wake up and have Xun Feng's memory? What about you at that time?" , where should we go?”

Xun Feng was stunned. This question is difficult to answer! He touched his forehead: "How could it be? I just need to be more careful in the future."

"Lions still have time to nap, let alone humans? You will never leave the house or interact with people for the rest of your life? No way, as long as you are in contact with the outside world, they will have the opportunity to approach you or even stun you. How much does a pack of intoxicating drugs cost? If you close your eyes and open your eyes, everything will no longer be the same as before. What will Brother Hao do then? If he loses his mother at such a young age, do you want him to lose his father again? The compassion was so imperceptible that she almost admired herself to death.

 His son was his only weakness, and Xun Feng fell into silence. Shui Linglong struck while the iron was hot: "For Brother Hao, you must resolutely resist the illusion. Even if you really have Xun Feng's memory, even if they tempt you with thousands of gold and silver, hundreds of miles and rivers, you must keep your heart!"

A layer of determination filled Xun Feng's eyes: "Yes, I can do anything for my son, but...how do I maintain it? What if I become that person and don't remember who I was originally? "

 It’s really on the right track! Shui Linglong looked at his dumbfounded look, and then remembered his aloof and arrogant imperial aura, and felt so relieved in her heart! Shui Linglong covered the smile on her lips with a handkerchief and said seriously: "I suggest you write a note to remind yourself that if you suddenly have Xun Feng's memory one day, don't believe it! You mark the date, and you and I will They all put their fingerprints on it, so you can understand it when you read the note."

Xun Feng thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, what my sister-in-law said is true. I must nip it in the bud! I can't fall into their trap!"

Shui Linglong wanted to laugh: "If one family doesn't speak the same language as the other, that **** Xun Feng is really the one who gets in trouble. Don't be fooled by Li Jing and the others."

Xun Feng looked confused: "Is Xun Feng a bastard?"

Shui Linglong patted the table and said, "Yes, he is heartless and scheming. He can even abandon his wife and flesh and blood. If you were to become him, wouldn't you feel disgusted?"

Xun Feng thought for a while and nodded again: "If he can even abandon his wife and flesh and blood, then he really has no shame in living in this world. God was right to take him in early."

 “Pfft—” Shui Linglong couldn’t hold it back.

Xun Feng walked to the desk and wrote a note according to Shui Linglong's words. Then he took out the red ink pad and left a palm print for himself and Shui Linglong. Looking at the big and small hands on the paper, his heart palpitated inexplicably, but it was overshadowed by new things for just a moment: "You just mentioned the palace secret guards, can you mobilize them?"

Shui Linglong blinked and replied truthfully: "Well, there are two who can be mobilized." Zhuge Yu stayed in the outer courtyard and acted as a coachman to protect her in case she went out.

After all, the two of them had experienced a hardship, and Xun Feng was not so repellent or protective. He recounted the scene in his dream: "...Ling'er's death must have been mysterious. I suffered a head injury and can't remember much. , I sent people to investigate but found nothing. After more than four years, the other party wiped out all the clues. I would like to ask you to send secret guards to help me investigate a person, he is the murderer of Linger. "Yan. Then, he took off the wooden sign around his neck and handed it to Shui Linglong, "I never knew why I was wearing it. Now I finally understand. It must be that I found out that he was the murderer, but I couldn't find him right away. , and then I made a wooden sign to remind myself not to forget the revenge of killing my wife!”

Shui Linglong was very confused. Most of the memories introduced into Xun Feng’s mind by Jin Shang Palace were Mu Hua’s real memories, but why did there appear a dream that contradicted the memory? Is this dream...a part of memory, or Xun Feng's own imagination? Shui Linglong took a closer look and her breath suddenly stopped. This last name...

The next day, Shui Linglong called Guo Yan and the third princess. My sister and brother are nine months old and can already stand. They are sitting in a walker designed by Shui Linglong. You grab me and I scratch you. They cry miserably and then they are separated by the wet nurse. After a while, he started playing again with a smile. The third princess could always see strange and strange objects here in Shui Linglong, so she was not so surprised by the walker. She knelt down and used the rattle to amuse her brother and sister. Both children were naughty, and they suddenly tore her shiny hair into pieces, but she was not annoyed. It was obvious that she liked children very much.

Shui Linglong leaned back slightly, glanced at the third princess behind the gauze cabinet, and asked Guo Yan, "You have been married for more than a year, and the third princess hasn't moved yet?"

Guo Yan looked a little embarrassed. In recent months, the two of them had had **** more frequently, but they still had not given birth to a child.

Shui Linglong knew the answer as soon as she saw Guo Yan's expression. Although she didn't understand why the third princess, who was easy to conceive in her previous life, couldn't conceive in this life, Shui Linglong didn't mean to rush them: "It doesn't matter, in a few years the world of two people will be over." Good."

Guo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Shui Linglong would blame the third princess for being infertile, so Mrs. Guo complained a little, and she hinted at letting him have a roommate, but he declined politely.

Suddenly, Shui Linglong added: "Please ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

Guo Yan was stunned! Shui Linglong recalled Xun Feng's situation and temporarily chose the latter between telling him and not telling him: "Oh, by the way, let me ask you something. Did you seriously investigate the cause of Zhuge Ling's death when you went to South Vietnam? ? Did she die in childbirth or was she deliberately murdered?"

Guo Yan's eyes sternly said: "At that time, I was afraid that Shangguan Yan had tampered with his hands and feet, so I checked carefully and even asked the midwife's family members one by one. It was indeed a dystocia. It took three days and three nights of pain to give birth. It was over after a lifetime. The bleeding continued, and the midwife was helpless. Mu Hua called a doctor, but she still died. "

“Oh.” Shui Linglong became more and more confused. Why was Xun Feng so sure that Zhuge Ling committed suicide? Do you even know the murderer's name? Is that dream Mu Hua's memory or Xun Feng's? If it belongs to Xun Feng, Xun Feng has not married a real wife in this life, is it a memory from a past life? But in his previous life, Xun Feng didn't have any other wives besides her.

Guo Yan looked at her and said, "Why do you suddenly ask about this? Do you think there is something fishy about Zhuge Ling's death?"

Shui Linglong shook her head: "It's hard to say for the time being."

In Qingyou Courtyard, Brother Hao was tired from playing and was taking a bath. The bath took a little longer today. Leng Youru read a book for a while and felt a little uneasy. She called twice but got no response. She put down the book and got up to go. Clean room. At this time, Brother Hao was playing with the Rubik's Cube in the water that had lost its heat. A cold wind blew in his face. Brother Hao's scalp went numb and he looked at Leng Youru.

Snapped! The Rubik's Cube hit the water and splashed everywhere. Brother Hao regained consciousness and quickly looked down. He was so small. Cover it!

"Who told you that you can play Rubik's Cube while taking a bath?" Leng Youru asked calmly and powerfully. She took a towel and walked directly to the tub. She saw Brother Hao covering the "little bird" with his hands, with a look on his face. Embarrassed, she couldn't help laughing, "Stand up!"

Brother Hao blushed and remained motionless. Leng Youru simply stretched out her arms and fished him out of the water. The water splashed all over her body, but she didn't seem to know the cold, so she wiped Brother Hao intently with a towel. The little body said: "You are not allowed to play with things in the shower anymore, do you understand?"

Brother Hao's face was so red that he could bleed. Leng Youru wiped Brother Hao's body and put on his clothes one by one. At this time, Cen'er reported that Shui Linglong had arrived.

Brother Hao took Leng Youru's hand and went to the outhouse with her. When he saw Shui Linglong, Brother Hao bowed politely. Shui Linglong looked at them holding hands with each other and smiled slightly. Lai: "Brother Hao has grown taller again! I remember when he first came here, he only reached my belly."

Leng Youru touched his little head, with a hint of softness in her eyes: "Three feet three." She was referring to his height.

Shui Linglong blinked, so precise!

Leng Youru and Shui Linglong sat down on the chairs respectively. Brother Hao consciously moved a small bench and sat next to Leng Youru. Without waiting for anyone's instructions, he picked up the Rubik's Cube and started playing with it. From Shui Linglong's perspective, his body was slightly tilted, as if he wanted to lean against Leng Youru.

Leng Youru patted Brother Hao's shoulder: "Go to the study to trace red, and then come out after tracing ten pictures. I will tell you a story in the evening."

Brother Hao's eyes lit up, he stood up, bowed to Leng Youru and Shui Linglong, and then went to the small study behind the gauze cabinet.

Cen'er served tea, Leng Youru picked up the tea cup and said straight to the point: "What do you want from me?"

Shui Linglong told the story about Jin Shanggong sneaking into the house disguised as a servant in an attempt to help Xun Feng retrieve his memory.

Leng Youru changed her face in shock: "You mean, this Mu Hua is fake? His face..."

Shui Linglong pressed her eyebrows and stared: "I don't know what happened. Maybe he underwent surgery to look like Mu Hua. His voice also took special medicine to change it. His font, living habits, memory... are all the same as before. It’s different.”

"Is there such a mysterious magic in the world?" Leng Youru was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. After a while, she added: "Thankfully you stopped it in time, otherwise our palace would be in trouble if Xun Feng regained his memory." The seal is still in Xun Feng’s hands!

Shui Linglong comforted her and said, "Don't worry too much, mother and concubine. Now he completely thinks that he is Mu Hua in his heart, and he is sincere to Brother Hao." There was no mention of establishing written evidence.

Leng Youru's long eyelashes trembled slightly, Shui Linglong seemed not to notice her uneasiness, and only said: "How does the mother-in-law plan to deal with him?" Should he stay and continue to be "Mu Hua", or should he be handed over to the court? Or is it possible that someone will be accused of random crimes and just...killed?

Leng Youru glanced at the small figure behind the gauze cabinet and said calmly: "Let me think about it and I will reply to you later. Don't make any noise about this matter yet."

 It is a serious crime to harbor imperial prisoners. Shui Linglong bowed and said softly: "Okay, I will listen to my mother and concubine's instructions."

After Shui Linglong left, Leng Youru frowned slightly, and the fragments of sunlight fell on her face, shining like white jade. She straightened her hair on her temples, got up and went to the small study. Brother Hao was standing behind the desk, tracing big characters in a precise manner. At first, he couldn't even hold a pen. Leng Youru held his hand and taught him step by step. He didn't like to practice calligraphy, so he specialized in calligraphy. Trained by Leng Youru.

 “Brother Hao.” Leng Youru suppressed the seriousness between her eyebrows and raised a light smile.

Brother Hao turned to look at her, surprise flashing in his eyes.

Leng Youru walked to him, took a look at his handwriting, and praised: "There is progress."

 Brother Hao’s lips raised slightly.

Leng Youru’s eyes fell on his smiling eyebrows and asked, “Brother Hao, do you like your father?”

 Brother Hao nodded without thinking!

 It’s so fast! Leng Youru smiled and said, "Well, once you've finished tracing it, send it to your father so he can see if you've made any progress."

In the afternoon, Cen'er sent two account books over and said with a smile: "The princess said that this is the budget for the next quarter. Please go to the outer study room to ask your uncle to stamp it. After stamping it, it should be distributed to various Zhuangzi managers." ”

 The budget for the next quarter was clearly calculated and stamped three days ago, so why did Leng Youru come here one more time? Shui Linglong cast her inquiring eyes on Cen'er, but Cen'er had no intention of explaining. Shui Linglong took the account book in her hand, raised her eyebrows and said, "Well, I will send someone to deliver it to my mother and concubine after I finish it."

Cen'er smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Crown Princess."

"Huh? What? Budget?" In Pingtingxuan, Qiao Hui took the account book handed over by Cen'er and her eyes widened in disbelief. She had already handed in the budget for the second bedroom! Why do we need to recalculate again? Could it be...that she failed the calculation before? Qiao Hui's heart pounded. She took the account books and did nothing. She didn't even bother to eat while she made a calculation in the room.

Xun Feng is writing furiously in his study outside. The No. 1 street in the world is rent collection, but the Zhuge family also has other industries. He is calculating which goods can best increase sales in each quarter based on the operation of each store.

 Dong dong dong! Xun Feng didn't hear the knock on the door. Boom, boom, boom! The knocking on the door doubled in volume. Xun Feng finally heard it. He frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Who?"

Qiao Hui was startled. The second brother-in-law seemed... unhappy. Qiao Hui pinched the corner of the account book and said bravely: "Second brother-in-law, it's me. I've finished calculating the second quarter's budget and I want you to stamp it."

Xun Feng's brows relaxed slightly and he put down his pen: "Oh, it's Xiaohui, come in."

 Qiao Hui breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open. She opened the account book in her hand and laid it flat on the table. Xun Feng used a seal dipped in ink pad to stamp a red seal on the date: "Okay."

Qiao Hui put away the account book and smiled slightly: "Thank you second brother-in-law."

Xun Feng said politely: "You're welcome. That's right."

Women are different from men. Women's thoughts are delicate and concerned with details. Qiao Hui glanced at the untouched food on the table that had lost its heat. She advised: "Second brother-in-law, please pay attention to your health and don't be delayed by work." A normal diet and rest routine will lead to hidden diseases.”

Xun Feng knew that she meant well, so he responded: "Yes, I understand."

Qiao Hui found that Xun Feng didn't listen at all, and wanted to persuade her again, but Xun Feng had already started counting the accounts. Qiao Hui shook her head and stepped out of the courtyard, but instead of returning to Pingtingxuan, she went to Tiananju.

Just when Xun Feng finally got into working mode again, Shui Linglong came and stamped the seal. Xun Feng’s face looked ugly! After patiently dealing with Shui Linglong's matter, Ping'er, who was beside the old lady, came again, holding a food box in her hand: "Second uncle, the old lady said, I asked the slave to watch you eat with your own eyes. After you finish eating, slave The mission has been successfully completed, please don’t make this slave difficult.”

Xun Feng’s face turned green! Tonight, Xun Feng was harassed frequently: the eldest room, the second room, the dining room, the warehouse... This kind of life lasted for three days. Xun Feng finally couldn't bear it anymore and found Leng Youru: "Mother, it's better to leave the seal here with you."

Leng Youru was "extremely surprised" and said: "Oh? What's wrong?"

Xun Feng honestly explained what he had experienced in the past few days, and then said: "I don't like to be disturbed when I am working. Once my thoughts are interrupted, it takes time to get into the state again." It was okay in the shop, and it was him who took the initiative. He searched for him one by one. It didn't feel like he was in the palace, but others found him one by one.

"That's it." Leng Youru seemed to be very embarrassed, "I have nothing to do when I have free time, and I don't care who comes to me more often, but you are already very busy, and you still have to run around. It makes me feel sad to see you. ”

Xun Feng smiled sheepishly: "It doesn't matter, I'm a man, I'll be fine if I walk a few times."

Leng Youru took the seal in his hand and smiled lightly: "In that case, I'll follow you."

 Xun Feng is relieved!

When the incident reached Shui Linglong's ears, Shui Linglong smiled. Leng Youru used good tricks to trick Xun Feng, and Xun Feng had to say thank you to her. And Leng Youru used such an obscure method to get the seal back, which shows that Leng Youru wanted to risk keeping Xun Feng.

Looking at Xun Feng being extremely busy with the Zhuge family’s business every day and being unable to sleep at night, Shui Linglong seemed to have seen herself in her previous life. She had also worked so hard and valued his empire more than her own life, but she was not moved by him at all. Just like now that he was working hard, she was not moved at all. Maybe this is a debt, a debt owed in a previous life!

Time flies by, and it’s June in the blink of an eye. At the end of the month, my sister and brother are one year old, and they can talk and walk. My brother walks steadily, and my sister often falls down, breaking her forehead and nose several times, and her water is exquisite. I had no choice but to make a walking belt.
