After being scolded by Lin Sihan, the Nuolan sisters did stop for a few days and didn't find trouble with Lin Xiyan. Today, it was rare for the Lin family to eat breakfast in unison.
"Junru, where has Haoran been these past few days? I haven't seen him for a few days." Lin Sihan asked.
Lin Haoran's quick-witted mind was indeed made for business. Unfortunately, he liked to indulge in debauchery and indulged in women all day long. He didn't know which prostitute he had been sleeping with these past few days. Even so, her son was still her biological son. Liu Junru defended him and said,""It's Mrs. Huang's birthday in a few days. I'll ask Haoran to find a gift for her.”Liu Junru lied for her son.
"That's for the best. Haoran wasn't young anymore. He should start a family. Don't let him fool around with some indecent women all day long. If he comes back with some kind of disease, I'll break his legs.”
"I understand, Old Master. I'll talk to Haoran and keep an eye out for suitable girls for him.”Liu Junru said.
Liang Yan, who was at the side, stirred the porridge in her bowl in extreme displeasure and said in a strange tone,"Master, our Xuanran is only half a year younger than Haoran. Why don't you care? Sigh, as expected, no one doted on the concubine's child!”
"Nonsense. They are all my sons. I care about them too.”
"If Master cared about Xuanran, why would he only let him manage the warehouse? It's clearly Master's favoritism." Liang Yan was dissatisfied that her son was only given the position of managing the warehouse.
"Human! He had to know his own limits. It was already the limit of Xuanran's ability to let him manage the warehouse. What else did Second Aunt want to force?”Liu Junru mocked.
It was true that her son was not good at socializing with others, but as a mother, who would not hope that her son would one day stand out?
"Xuan Ran is calm, unlike some people who are good at scheming and want to dominate everything. Old Master, don't you want to know where the young master of the Lin family is? Maybe in some brothel." Liang Yan naturally wasn't afraid of Liu Junru.
"Liang Yan, watch your mouth.”
"Would I be afraid of you?"
"Enough, do you think I'm dead? I know very well who can do things. If you continue to argue, all of you can get out." Lin Sihan left in frustration.
Lin Sihan was angry. Liu Junru and Liang Yan didn't say anything, but their eyes seemed to want to kill each other. Third Aunt Tai Yu Rusheng put down her bowl and chopsticks and left quietly.
Lin Xiyan ate her porridge silently. Third Aunt was an actress. It was said that Lin Sihan had brought her back from other provinces. Initially, Third Aunt was not that cold. Ever since she had an unfortunate miscarriage more than ten years ago, coupled with her many years of infertility, she had become colder and colder.
The third aunt was the first person to discover her mother. Lin Xiyan thought about it and felt that the third aunt seemed to be hiding something. If he wanted to find evidence of his mother's murder, the third aunt should be the breakthrough point.
Lin Xiyan gently kicked Liang Yan under the table. Liang Yan looked at Lin Xiyan and nodded in understanding.
"Furen, Second YiNiang, I'm done eating.”Lin Xiyan put down her bowl and walked to the back garden.
"I don't have an appetite. I'm not eating." Liang Yan also stood up and walked towards the garden.
garden
"Xi 'er, what's the matter?" Liang Yan sat beside Lin Xiyan. She had not looked for Lin Xiyan since Liu Xianglan's death. The reason was simple. After Liu Xianglan died, the money naturally fell into the hands of Lin Sihan and Liu Junru. An orphan girl without money or power had nothing to fawn on.
Lin Xiyan knew what Liang Yan was thinking, so there was no need for her to beat around the bush.
"Does Second Concubine want to help Second Brother take over the Lin family business? I can help you."
" You." Liang Yan smiled disdainfully." I might not be able to withstand Liu Junru's methods. What can a little girl like you do?"”
"Second Concubine, you don't have to care about what I can do. As long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee that the Lin family's business will belong to Second Brother. In the end, even if I can't beat Liu Junru and can't get the Lin family's money, I'll still give everything my mother left me to Second Brother. In that case, Second Concubine would not be at a disadvantage.”
Liu Xianglan still had money left for Lin Xiyan. Liang Yan's eyes lit up." Logically speaking, your mother's money should have been taken away by Old Master and Liu Junru. Do you still have more?"”
"What Liu Junru took away was only a portion. I still have a lot.”Lin Xiyan placed the key to the safe on the stone table.
Not to mention how much money was in the safe, just the annual rent of the safe was enough for several years of his family's expenses. Liang Yan believed Lin Xiyan's words.
" Xi 'er, what do you want YiNiang for?"
"Help me keep an eye on Liu Junru's whereabouts. I know that she must have some unspeakable secrets outside.”
"No problem, but what secrets does she have outside?”Lin Xiyan piqued Liang Yan's curiosity.
"I'm not sure. I'll find out.”
"Xi 'er, are you suspecting that your mother's death has something to do with Liu Junru?”
"It's suspicion. Is Second Concubine willing to help me?"
Liang Yan thought to herself that Liu Xianglan's sudden fall down the stairs was suspicious. It was just that some things had nothing to do with him, so he didn't take it to heart. However, if he could use Lin Xiyan to kick Liu Junru out of the Lin family this time, he would be promoted to the first wife and his son would also be the future heir of the Lin family. Taking a step back, he would not lose anything if he did not succeed. At most, he would just maintain the status quo.
"Deal." Liang Yan agreed to Lin Xiyan's suggestion.
Liang Yan liked money, and she would cooperate with him for money. However, what about Third Aunt Tai Yu Rusheng? She didn't seem to like fighting for anything.
"Is Second Concubine familiar with Third Concubine?”
"Yu Rusheng was born as an actress. Old Master brought her back when he went to other provinces to do business. Originally, she was not so cold. More than ten years ago, she became silent after a miscarriage caused massive bleeding and could not give birth. Other than reciting scriptures in his room and occasionally going to listen to plays, he almost never left his house, let alone get involved in anything at home. Did Xi 'er think she was in cahoots with Liu Junru?”
It seemed that Third Aunt was a person with a pure heart and few desires, but a person who was too calm was not necessarily a kind person. Lin Xiyan felt that Yu Rusheng was hiding something.
"Second Concubine, I want to go to the residence to investigate some things. If I come back late, can you help me cover up the lie?”After saying that, Lin Xiyan put a jade bracelet on Liang Yan's wrist.
This jade bracelet was emerald green and crystal clear. One look and one could tell that it was a high-quality item. It cost at least the price of a small yellow croaker. "Don't worry, Second Concubine will take care of everything." Liang Yan agreed with a smile. Xi 'er, be careful outside."
Greed was written all over Liang Yan's face. This was even better. Greedy people were the easiest to deal with.
Lin Xiyan left the Lin family and hailed a rickshaw to the alley where she had followed Liu Junru last time. This alley was remote and far-reaching. If he had not been here before, he would probably never have known that there was such a place in the city.
Lin Xiyan looked around and wanted to find someone to ask about it, but it was so remote that she could hardly see anyone. Lin Xiyan walked closer to the house and peered into the house through the crack in the door. The courtyard had a siheyuan structure and was no different from an ordinary house. It was quiet and there should be no one around. When Lin Xiyan was thinking about whether she should climb the wall to enter, she pulled her into a crack in the wall with one hand. Lin Xiyan took a closer look. It turned out to be Adjutant Wei and a few men. They must be Duan Weilin's bodyguards.
Adjutant Wei motioned for Lin Xiyan to keep quiet. At this moment, a man of medium build opened the door and walked into the house while humming a tune. Lin Xiyan didn't see the man's face clearly. From the side profile, she guessed that this man should be good-looking.
"Miss Lin, are you injured? How did you get injured?" Wei Heng suddenly noticed that Lin Xiyan's arm was wrapped in gauze. If the Young Marshal knew that Lin Xiyan had injured her head, would she be able to keep it?
"It's just a small injury. By the way, Deputy Wei, why are you here?”Duan Weilin must have asked him to follow him again.
"Miss Lin, this is not the place to talk. Let's leave this place first.”
Lin Xiyan followed Wei Heng out of the alley. Wei Heng was still troubled by the injury on Lin Xiyan's arm.
"Miss Lin, please tell me how you were injured. Who hurt you? You know, although the young marshal is not in the city, he must know everything about you.”
Lin Xiyan knew that Adjutant Wei would not let her go if she did not tell him, so she told him everything about how Lin Nuolan and her sister had hurt her.
"Miss Lin, you're the Young Marshal's woman. You can't be bullied by others. Men, go and take in the two daughters of the Lin family.”Adjutant Wei said to his subordinates.
" Wait a minute." Lin Xiyan knew that Adjutant Wei meant to kill Lin Nuolan and her sister. He didn't like them, but he didn't want to kill them.
"Adjutant Wei, I know you want to report my whereabouts and every move to Duan Weilin. If I don't tell him about this, he won't know. After all, they're my sisters. I don't want to take their lives over a small matter.”He was not a bloodthirsty demon who would take someone's life for a small matter.
"But the Young Marshal won't allow anyone to hurt Miss Lin.”Wei Heng was in a difficult position.
"He's not in He City now. He only knows everything through you. Alright, I don't want to dwell on such a small matter anymore. Stop talking nonsense. I have something for you to do.”Instead of letting him be entangled in this problem, it was better to let them do something so that he wouldn't have to work for nothing.
"Miss, please instruct me."
"I want to know all the information about that family just now. Adjutant Wei, can you handle such a small matter?”
What a joke. He was the deputy commander of the major. If he couldn't even find a person, wouldn't he be wasting his time?
"Don't worry, Miss. All the information about that family tomorrow must be in Miss's hands. It's getting late. Where else does Miss want to go? Or are you going home?"
Where do you want to go? There seemed to be nowhere to go. Lin Xiyan looked at Adjutant Wei, smiled and turned to leave.
The smile on Lin Xiyan's face was a little strange, and Adjutant Wei felt that it was not a good sign.
