Chapter 1390 Home

It rained heavily that day.

It was like a river in the sky burst its banks, and water poured down from the sky.

After so many years, many details have become blurred.

The only thing she remembered was that it rained heavily.

It was night, and she was copying Qi Law in her room. She had played like crazy during the day, and she always had to make up some homework at night to avoid her father coming back to lecture her.

The nurse was sewing shoe soles beside her to accompany her.

The rain outside was rustling, and from time to time a flash of lightning illuminated the window, accompanied by thunder.

So when the urgent knock on the door sounded, she didn't hear it at the first time.

It wasn't until there was another knock that the nurse got up to open the door.

She also looked out curiously, because her father said he would be back in a few days.

Who could it be so late?

She was not afraid of bad people, no bad people dared to come to her house, her father was a special person to catch bad people.

The moment the nurse opened the door, she only heard a "bang" sound--

A black shadow fell into the room.

The black shadow lay on the ground with his eyes tightly closed, his lips were black and blue, and there was a big knife wound on his neck, the blood had not yet flowed out...

Daddy is back.

Later, a pair of hands covered her eyes.

Grandpa Wu seemed to be cursing something angrily.

She couldn't hear anything.

Her ears were buzzing, and then there was thunder.

What she saw was not pitch black, but bright red.

Blood was everywhere...

That bloody, hideous knife wound had always been exposed to her eyes for so many years.

She could always see it.

They said that Dad committed suicide...

They said that the best head constable in the world committed suicide because he failed to investigate the case and was afraid of being blamed.

And she only remembered that her father said that the glory of Qingpai was worth defending with everything in life.

When many voices began to argue again.

Lin Youxie opened her eyes in the dark.

Sitting up calmly, she left the bed and walked to the table against the wall in the dark.

Her "boudoir" should be different from any other woman's residence in the world. It is full of bottles and jars, various files, legal books, and some strange "evidence".

But it is not chaotic.

Everything is classified and arranged neatly.

My father said that we must be organized when doing things. No matter how complicated the case is, as long as all its details are sorted out, the truth will be clear at a glance.

She is obedient.

She studied Qi law hard and did not play for many years.

Her heart was beating fast and hard. She mixed some medicinal materials according to the proportion and began to pound the medicine.

The wooden pestle was in the stone mortar...

Knock knock, knock knock.

...

...

Judging from Gongsun Yu's performance, he obviously knew something.

But since he was unwilling to say it, Jiang Wang did not want to force it.

Everyone has their own choices. You can be right, but that does not mean that others are wrong.

Blaming others for what you have done is the worst of all.

Perhaps someone who is unscrupulous can get some information out of Gongsun Yu, and Yang Jing can't keep him. But if Jiang Wang is willing to do whatever it takes, why should he bother to find Gongsun Yu?

People are different, and there are always things they do and things they don't do.

When he returned to Linzi, it was already dawn.

Under the cover of the shadow guard, Jiang Wang quietly returned to his mansion, as if nothing had happened.

He really got nothing that night.

He was not depressed.

Gongsun Yu's situation is a clue in itself.

As a disciple of a famous family, he cut off his tongue, and as a confidant of the Lord of Changsheng Palace, he chose to live in seclusion. These cannot be without reason.

When did he leave Changsheng Palace? What happened in Changsheng Palace during that time?

There are definitely not many things that can force Gongsun Yu to this point.

The answer lies in the pain.

The investigation of the shadow guard will take some time, and there is no news from Beiya for the time being. Jiang Wang practiced in the mansion for a while until the housekeeper came to remind him of the time, and then he walked out leisurely.

He wore a long sword on his left waist, a white jade on his right waist, and a clean blue shirt, and he was a good boy from Linzi.

The carriage had been prepared long ago, and the driver whipped Jiang Wang and went straight to the mansion of the Marquis of Cuicheng.

A few days ago, Li Longchuan mentioned that he should go to his house for a simple meal today. After all, it was something he had already promised, and Jiang Wang would not break the promise easily.

When it arrived in front of the mansion, the carriage stopped. Although the driver had just been hired, he had been specially trained by the housekeeper and knew the rules. He was about to come forward with the name card.

The steward of the Marquis of Cuicheng had already come out to greet him: "Is it the family of the Golden Gourd Warrior?"

Seeing Jiang Wang get out of the carriage, he hurriedly greeted him: "My Lord! My young master has already told you to go in directly when you come."

The steward led the way for Jiang Wang and asked someone to come and greet the driver of the old Jiang family.

It was not the first time for Jiang Wang to come to the Cuicheng Marquis Mansion. He followed him in with ease. After a few steps, a heroic young man with a jade belt on his forehead strode out.

"Brother Jiang!" He waved warmly and smiled brightly.

Jiang Wang smiled and said, "Didn't we just say we were going to have a simple meal? Why did you come out to greet me so formally?"

"It can't be helped." Li Longchuan deliberately said sarcastically, "You have to be good at flattering others if you want to get into the officialdom. I have an official position now, and I have to consider my future... You are a third-rank golden melon warrior!"

In terms of being sarcastic, he was still far behind Xu Gao'e.

Jiang Wang didn't respond to his words at all, and looked around: "Who else did you invite today?"

Li Longchuan pulled his arm and walked straight in: "Only you!"

Jiang Wang was pulled by him to walk quickly, and he took the time to ask: "Speaking of which, we are not eating where we are having a drink, why do we have to come to your house?"

Li Longchuan rolled his eyes: "What's wrong with my cook not being able to serve you?"

The courtyard of the Hou Mansion is deep. Li Longchuan grew up in such an environment and was born noble. Jiang Wang started from scratch and earned his current position, but he did not show any timidity and walked through it happily.

When he arrived at the dining room, Jiang Wang realized that this "easy meal" was unusual and almost had the urge to turn around and run away.

Sitting impressively in the dining hall were Mrs. Li, the contemporary Marquis Li Zhengyan, the Marquis Li Hanshi, and Li Zhengshu, a scholar from Donghua...

It's not that you feel guilty when you see your elders, the problem is that apart from them, the only two siblings left in the dining hall are Li Fengyao and Li Longchuan.

It was obviously a family dinner, and it was the most private kind.

It was a bit embarrassing for him to bump into him so hastily.

Furthermore, if he had known that these elders were there, how would he have dared to take advantage of the meal time?

Not to mention waiting before dawn, he had to show off his knowledge and courtesy by an hour or two in advance.

It's good now, it seems like a whole table of people are waiting for him.

Besides Li Longchuan, who else could he deserve?

Therefore, I am frightened and frightened, and my feet feel weak.

"Good boy." Mrs. Li waved with a smile: "Come on, sit next to me."

Mrs. Li is sitting at the top. To her right is Li Zhengshu. Beyond Li Zhengshu is Li Zhengyan and his wife.

Although Li Zhengyan has a higher title, Li Zhengshu is older, so there is no problem in sitting like this at the family banquet.

On the left hand side of the old lady, Li Fengyao sat in the vacant seat. Li Longchuan had already walked over and sat in the seat to the left of Li Fengyao.

Obviously, the empty seat was reserved for the guest Jiang Wang.

In front of the old lady, Jiang Wang really had no right to refuse. Although he couldn't figure it out clearly, he still saluted the old lady, the Marquis of Chengcheng and his wife, and the Bachelor of Donghua one by one, walked over obediently, and sat down. Next to Mrs. Li.

The most dignified hero in the battle of Xingyueyuan, the one who dared to ask who was the best among the gods, sat blankly next to the old lady, like a little quail cowering up.

"Today is my grandmother's birthday banquet. She wants to ask you to come and sit down." Li Fengyao sat upright and nodded softly.

Jiang Wang quickly stood up and saluted the old lady again: "This is so rude of me!"

If he had known that today was Mrs. Li's birthday, he and Jiang Qingyang would not have missed the birthday gift no matter how hard it was. Now I came here empty-handed, and if outsiders know about it, I still don’t know how to make fun of it.

"Sit and talk." The old lady took his hand, pushed him back to the seat, and said angrily: "I just came to Zi not long ago, who did you learn these useless politeness from? Is it Longchuan? My Li family has been a general for generations. It’s a shame that these are not available!”

Li Longchuan yelled at Qu, "I don't even know what politeness is, so how can I teach him about it?"

Jiang Wang glanced at him complainingly

He said helplessly: "The old lady won't let me say it, how can I dare to say it?"

"Good boy, I asked Long Chuan to coax you here." The old lady patted the back of Jiang Wang's hand: "I'm old, and I can't stand the noise, let alone asking them to organize or arrange any ostentation. I just want to close the door. Come, sit down with me, you won’t blame grandma, will you?”

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhengshu just smiled.

Li Zhengyan's hand holding the cup paused, while Marquise Li Han next to her could no longer suppress the surprise in her eyes.

Obviously, the whole family didn't know that the old lady would say such a thing beforehand.

In and out of words, he already regarded Jiang Wang as one of his family members!

Jiang Wang was really flattered.

With the status of the Li family in Shimen, if Mrs. Li wanted to host a birthday banquet in a serious manner, most of Linzi City would be alarmed. Jiang Wang still had two questions about whether the carriage could be squeezed in today.

Especially at the critical moment when the case of Concubine Lei was advancing, after he was threatened by the coachman...

The old lady is supporting him.

"It's Jiang Wang's honor to sit with you..." Jiang Wang choked for a long time and finally said, "Grandma."

"Good boy." The old lady smiled brightly and ordered: "Let's have dinner."

The servants who had been waiting for a long time naturally filed in and presented them with all kinds of delicacies.

During the banquet, the old lady kept picking up dishes for Jiang Wang, asking about this and that.

They were the only ones talking at the entire dinner table.

Everyone else ate in silence. Only the old lady answered a few words when her name was called.

This also shows that the old lady's status in this family is indeed supreme.

Jiang Wang felt a little uncomfortable, but there was no need to deny that his somewhat disturbed mood during this period gradually calmed down during this kind of homely conversation...

Since he was very young, he has been dependent on his father.

He has never met his grandparents, grandfather and grandmother. He has almost never had this kind of experience of closeness between elders across generations...

I thought that if grandma were here, she would be as kind as Mrs. Li.

Before we knew it, the banquet came to an end.

The old lady drank the fragrant tea and looked at Jiang Wang kindly: "Grandma is old and gets confused after eating, so she won't drag you tossing and talking nonsense, and will let Feng Yao accompany you to the garden... …”

"Grandma, you don't have to worry." Li Longchuan stood up without hesitation: "I will take Brother Jiang to the outside..."

He sat down again and silently served himself another bowl of soup.

The old lady looked away and still looked at Jiang Wang with a smile.

Even if Jiang Wang was slow, he could see what the old lady meant, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Li Fengyao stood up and said, "Let's go, Qingyang."

"Yeah, okay." Jiang Wang didn't have anything else to say. He bowed to the elders one by one, then stood up and followed Li Fengyao away.

Old Lady Li always called them good children.

Li Zhengshu and Li Zhengyan responded with a smile.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the face of the wife of the Marquis of Cuicheng was not very good.

Jiang Wang had no right to care about it, nor was he the character to care about these things. He just followed Li Fengyao. There was a little inexplicable tension, and some embarrassment.

God has mercy on him. It was the first time that someone had such an obvious red line, and the object was the cold and beautiful Li Fengyao...

The old lady looked at the backs of the two children with a smile, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was.

When their figures disappeared, her smile disappeared with them.

"Look, what a polite child." She said lightly, "It's a pity that some people, at such an old age, are not as sensible as a child."

The lady of the Marquis of Cuicheng looked unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything.

The undercurrent between his grandmother and his mother made Li Longchuan so upset that he wanted to bury his head in the soup bowl.

The old lady snorted and gently pushed the teacup: "The old woman went back to the courtyard, so as not to bother anyone."

Li Zhengshu, with a smile in his eyes, hurriedly stood up and supported: "Mother, I will see you off."

Li Zhengyan also stood up quickly: "Brother, I will see my mother off."

"Don't." The old lady glanced at him lightly: "The Marquis is the head of the family, how can he be so rude to see an old woman off? Please sit down."

Li Zhengyan, who was angry, sat down helplessly.

The old lady slowly left the dining hall with the support of Li Zhengshu.

As soon as the old lady Li left, Li Han looked at her husband: "My Lord, can you judge?"

Li Zhengyan felt a headache and quickly brought out a universal sentence: "The old lady is old, let her be happy..."

He paused: "Besides, Jiang Wang is very good..."

"I'm not saying that Jiang Wang is not good, and I'm not against it." Li Han said dissatisfiedly: "Feng Yao is my daughter after all, right? I haven't had much contact with that Jiang Wang, and the old lady is already like this... How can people look down on her?"

Li Longchuan, who had been listening silently for a long time, rolled his eyes: "Who can look down on my sister?"

"Is it your business?" Li Han glared at him.

Li Longchuan shrank his neck and continued to drink the soup.

"Okay, okay." Li Zhengyan advised: "This matter mainly depends on the two children's opinions. Whether it will succeed or not is still another matter. Who among us can control Feng Yao?"

"Have you finished drinking?" Li Han stared at Li Longchuan and chased him relentlessly: "Hurry up after you finish drinking, don't you know you are an eyesore?"

"Drink it!" Li Longchuan quickly put down the bowl, raised his foot, and fled.

Li Han turned back and looked at her husband, saying aggrievedly: "I am just angry, and other things are fine, just follow her. Feng Yao's big matter, she didn't even discuss it with me..."

Li Zhengyan lowered his voice and said: "This is the old lady's fault, your husband knows your grievances..."

"Ahem." His voice returned to normal: "I will go to Zhuhe to patrol the border in two days, madam, are you willing to accompany me?"
