As soon as Lin Daiyu said that, Dong Jing immediately went to pack her things, but Xinyi and Madam Xu felt that Lin Daiyu was crazy, so they rushed to persuade her.

Mother Xu thought the most profoundly: "Girl, this is not a place to show your temper. If you offend the emperor and empress dowager, or are teased by someone with a heart, you will have to suffer a lot."

Lin Daiyu's face was frosty: "Yi Mama said, I should be generous and not care about it, pretend like I'm okay, and continue to be bullied like this next time?"

Mother Xu sighed: "I've spent half my life in the deep palace. I haven't seen anything? It's good that the girl cleared her suspicions this time. As for other things, don't dare to ask for extravagance." She persuaded: " Even if the girl doesn't think about anything else, she should still think about her father and elder brother."

Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth.

The mother and daughter surnamed Wang are ugly people, but she was not so angry.The most embarrassing thing is that the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yi, Sanfujin, Wufujin and others just sit idly by and ignore them. They don't even have a word of defense. They have nothing to do with them, and their indifference is terrifying.

Now this situation seems to be the best of both worlds, Lord Sibeile's reputation has not been hindered, the royal family's majesty has not been lost, the Wang family has been punished slightly, and since then they dare not commit any crimes against Longwei again, and Lin Daiyu's innocence has also been cleared.

But Lin Daiyu couldn't swallow the breath in her heart.

Only then did he deeply understand the truth of "the most ruthless emperor's family", and his father's sigh when the marriage decree came down.

Marrying into such a family, there is no peace and purity to speak of.

Xiao Xizi heard that Lin Daiyu said she was going home, so she ran to look for Sibeile, but fortunately it was getting late, and Xiao Xizi happened to run into him on her trip.Yinzhen was devastated when he heard the whole story, and when he heard that Lin Daiyu was crying and wanted to go home, he rushed over immediately.

Xiao Xizi reported that Lord Sibeile had come, and Lin Daiyu said angrily, "Don't come in."

The two maids in the room immediately went to the door to stop her, saying that the girl was disheveled and could not see guests.Why did Yinzhen insist on entering the house, so he said: "Let your girls take good care of your illness and don't think about anything else." After finishing speaking, he left.

After hearing that, Lin Daiyu thought that Lord Sibeile was nothing more than that, the royal family was ruthless, this time she saw it.In a fit of anger, Lin Daiyu took off the jade plaque around her neck and threw it on the side of the pillow in disgust.

Dong Jing asked cautiously: "Girl, are we going to go home or not?"

Lin Daiyu said: "Go back, why don't you go back? Go and clean up quickly, and ask someone to set up the car tomorrow morning."

Dong Jing said: "There are no family members accompanying us, how can we set up a car?"

Lin Daiyu said: "Go for a stroll outside the palace to see if there is anyone sent by the family. Qiong'er has a lot of thoughts, so maybe someone will accompany her." Dong Jing answered, and went to clean up without mentioning it.

Mother Xu and Xinyi sighed when they saw a lot of persuasion in vain.

The next morning, Dong Jing really got up early, put on half-worn clothes and ran around outside the palace, and immediately a strong man with a dark face greeted him: "Hello, Miss Dong Jing, the second master sent a young man to help you." The girl calls."

Dong Jing was taken aback. Hearing that it was sent by the second master, he was relieved after seeing the token from Lin Qiong, and asked him to find a chariot and horse to take Lin Daiyu back to Beijing.

The dark-faced man scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and nodded after hesitating: "The car outside can't reach our house, the girl has to bear with it."

Dong Jing said: "As long as it's clean, I'll take care of the rest in the afternoon." The black-faced man hurriedly went to prepare.

When Dong Jing went back, he ran into Yinzhen again. He was not annoyed at being stopped outside Lin Daiyu's door, and was asking Xinyi something.Dong Jing thought he would leave soon, but she didn't expect that when she came out to get Lin Daiyu's lunch for the fourth time, Lord Sibeile hadn't left yet, so he was going to waste the day.

Lord Sibeile, Tianhuang and nobleman, naturally couldn't leave him at the door all the time, so Lin Daiyu had no choice but to invite him in to have a meal together.

While eating and drinking tea, Yinzhen said, "Do you want to go back?"

Lin Daiyu turned her head away: "Can't you?"

Yinzhen said: "Originally, it is not impossible for you to want to go home. The journey is tiring, and you must be very tired, and you may not be able to hold on. But it is not possible at this time, the Lord forbids."

Lin Daiyu said coldly, "Why is fourth master not allowed?"

Yinzhen twitched the corners of his mouth slightly: "Let's go now, doesn't it mean that Miss Lin is dissatisfied with Huang Mamu and others, and dissatisfied with the master? What do Huang Mamo and others think? It will definitely make you angry. You are still too impatient, you have to grind Grind."

Although she really thought so in her heart, Lin Daiyu was still a little embarrassed when someone told her: "Then are you angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" Yinzhen looked at Lin Daiyu with extremely gentle eyes, but he didn't know it himself, "You have been wronged, I should help you back hard, how could you be angry?" Same, he and she are one.

help her?Lin Daiyu opened her eyes wide, unable to believe it.In the morning, he said to let her leave everything alone. Could it be... Does it mean that he asked himself to leave everything to him?

Yinzhen laughed and said: "Could it be that you think I'll just forget about it? I really don't like you." He said patiently: "You are young, and I should have protected you more, but now I've been caught by someone who doesn't have eyes. how can I stand by and watch from the sidelines?"

"Oh..." The ashamed and guilty Lin Daiyu was rarely speechless.

The dimple that Lin Daiyu revealed when she lightly pulled the corner of her mouth was indescribably playful to Yinzhen, even his notoriously cold-faced elder brother couldn't help laughing, and said: "Besides, there are some things I wanted I’ll tell you later, but you might think too much now, so let’s talk about it together.”

"what?"

Yinzhen said sternly: "Your family members are simple. You don't know the secrets of the rich and noble houses, and you don't think that the palace is even worse than the prince's mansion. Whether it is the emperor's mother or the most gentle Qifujin, there are unknowns. Here, don't trust anyone except me." When Yinzhen was speaking, he couldn't help but lost his mind for a moment, and was caught by Lin Daiyu inadvertently.

Did you remember something from the past?Lin Daiyu was preoccupied with thinking, and asked outside: "Do you want me to believe you?"

Yinzhen said: "Yes, you can trust me like you trust your family." Because, compared with her father and brothers, he is the one who will spend the longest time with her, so they should trust each other more.

Lin Daiyu's eyes suddenly became hazy, as elusive as a cloud, and after a while, she asked, "Will you believe me?"

Yinzhen's eyes became hesitant, he stared at Lin Daiyu for a long time, and then nodded slowly.His expression was serious and solemn, and his nodding movements were heavy and slow, as if his head was as valuable as gold.

From a very young age, Yinzhen knew that in the palace, the brighter the flower, the stronger the poison.From his ninety-five-year-old Ama, to the empress Xiaoyiren who raised him, to the concubine De who gave birth to him, his brothers are all untrustworthy. There are too many things around them that cannot be lost, so that Treat him as something to measure, trade, and discard.

Naturally, he is the same, even if he doesn't want to admit it anymore, Yinzhen still knows that he has been in the palace for too long, and he is no different from those people.

However, Yinzhen has always wanted to stubbornly distinguish himself from them, he thought, maybe he shouldn't be such a ruthless person.It's just that there is no one who is worthy of his wholehearted care, and let him entrust the most vulnerable part.

The little girl in front of me, she is so small, so weak, she doesn't understand anything, do you know what kind of promise she just asked for?

However, she is also a strong and brave girl, extremely intelligent; her eyes are sometimes so bright and clear, and sometimes they are so cloudy that people can't see clearly; even when her life is in danger, she never flinches.

Yinzhen thinks that the little girl is special, a gentleman promises a lot, and he is willing to believe her once.

Lin Daiyu is not nine years old, she can see the meaning in Yinzhen's eyes, and she can't help but be moved by it.

"If you promise to the king, you must keep it for a lifetime."

Yinzhen heard that immature voice said so.

***

After Yinzhen left, Lin Daiyu was in a daze for a long time, knowing that Dongjing came in and asked, "Miss, shall we go?" If she wanted to go, she would go out to find the black man Zhang Ren.

Lin Daiyu said: "I'm not leaving, you can put your things in order."

Dong Jing said with a smile: "The girl will always find someone to do."

Xin Yi said happily, "I'll help my sister clean up."

Dong Jing went to find Zhang Ren and asked him to return the carriage, packed everything, and when he came back, he met Xiao Xizi in a hurry, carrying a small black cloth cage, Dong Jing asked him: "Where did you get it? What are you wearing?"

Xiao Xizi said: "Hello, Sister Dongjing, I'm calling from the front, I have some news for the girl, by the way, the fourth master asked the servant to give the girl a little gadget."

Lin Daiyu was basking in the sun on the couch by the window, when she heard that she lay on the low window edge and asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Xizi quickly ran to the window and lifted the black cloth, it turned out that there was a kitten inside.The kitten has a white belly and white mouth, and a raccoon pattern on its back. Although it is just an ordinary cat, you can see it everywhere on the street, but this one has small ears, round eyes, and the whites of the eyes are almost invisible. It is fat, soft and lazy. The small shape is very beautiful.

Lin Daiyu opened the cage and hugged the kitten. The kitten didn't hide. It opened its eyes and tilted its head to look at people. Lin Daiyu also tilted its head to look at it. After a while, the kitten yawned a little and licked its paws.

"Where did you get the little thing? It's so beautiful."

Xiao Xizi said: "It was raised by the eunuch in charge of the palace. There are five in a litter. When the fourth master saw it, he asked the little one to give Miss Lin one. If the girl likes it, she can name it and keep it with her to relieve boredom." The same is true for the master, obviously I could bring it together just now, wouldn't it be more pleasing to Fujin to bring it in person?I really don't know what he thinks if I have to wait until I go back and let him deliver it.

Lin Daiyu thought for a while, and said, "It's called Pear Blossom." It just sounds like Li Hua, and coincidentally, this season happens to be when pear blossoms bloom, and the kitten has a snow-white belly, so the name is very appropriate.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu likes it, Xiao Xizi silently swallows the words that the cat is a male.

"By the way, I almost forgot the business," Xiao Xizi slapped his forehead and whispered the news to Lin Daiyu.

It turned out that Sibei Le impeached Wang Qingyi, the prefect of Zhili, to the emperor early this morning, accusing him of occupying adjacent properties, buying and selling by force, and embezzlement and bribery. Yinzhen has full power to handle this matter.

Originally, none of the officials had any filth behind their backs, and if they were presided over by a benevolent person, the Wang family might be sentenced to dismissal or be banned from being an official forever. Unfortunately, Sibeile is the most strict and serious, and many old cases have been implicated. After entering the Wang family, Wang Qing was sentenced to beheaded, the female relatives were sold, and the men rushed to repair the embankment.

The world is impermanent, and the royal family is tired of eunuchs. In a blink of an eye, the family is ruined, and the parents and children are separated.

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu felt neither happy nor sympathetic, but said: "Si Ye acts like this, can someone criticize him?"

Xiao Xizi said: "The king of Chengjun and Babeile said that Sibeile was too harsh to punish, and there is no kindness of the saint. The emperor didn't say anything."

Lin Daiyu said, "Well, go and rest." Xiao Xizi withdrew.

Mother Xu came in from the outside, saw the little milk cat in Lin Daiyu's hand, and said, "Hey, this little thing is so pretty."

Lin Daiyu said: "I was just going to ask Madam, what can such a small cat eat? It's a pity it's not at home, otherwise I can give it goat's milk." The little thing is only the size of her palm. There are thorns to ask.

Mother Xu said: "Girl, you can leave it to the servant. The servant will find a small cup and soak a soft snack in warm water for it to eat. The little thing is too small, I'm afraid it can't eat meat." She raised Jingui for the master Persian cats, which are just the most common cats, are very easy to keep.

Grandma Xu was about to take the cat that Lin Daiyu handed over with both hands, but Lihua refused, and gave Grandma Xu a soft paw with all four limbs, and then grabbed Lin Daiyu's hand and refused to leave.

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Pear blossoms are very temperamental, Madam Xu will bring some food and make a nest for it by the way."

Lihua meowed softly, as if in protest.

Lin Daiyu lifted them up, one cat and one person looked at each other at the same level: "Do you think I said you are tempered?"

Lihua licked Lin Daiyu's hand to please her, and then meowed twice, tickling.

"Well, I know you are obedient."

Xinyi wondered: "How does the girl know what the little thing is saying? The servant only hears the meowing of cats."

Lin Daiyu joked: "Because we have a good understanding."

Dong Jing said with a smile: "According to my servants, this is called like flocking together and dividing people into groups."

Both Lin Daiyu and Lihua turned their heads to look at Dongjing, with seven parts innocent and two parts confused, tilting their heads, blinking their eyes once, then blinking again.

Dong Jing turned his head away, and finally knew why Fourth Master sent this little thing.
