"Sister's piano skills have improved again. It's really a roundabout song that lasts for three days, right? Brother!" Xue Tai praised Xue Lin without hesitation, and even asked Xue Lin to join him. Unfortunately, Xue Lin still had an expressionless face, "I never understand these things, so I can't tell the difference between good and evil." Xian Ge still had a smile on his face, and his expression did not change at all because of his words. Instead, he said helplessly, "You are really a fool who doesn't understand the style!" Xue Lin did not respond to this sentence. He put the wine jar in his hand on the table in the Caoting, and then raised his eyes to look at Xian Ge, "I didn't know you would come." "I was a little worried about you, afraid that you were in a bad mood, so I wanted to come and see you. Don't blame Atai, but it seems that you are in a better mood than we thought." Xian Ge looked at Xue Lin quietly for a moment. , said with a chuckle, but a faint light flashed in his eyes. Xue Lin usually has a calm appearance, but people who know him well can still detect his mood in subtle ways. She and Xue Tai thought that he must be in a terrible mood, so they thought of drinking with him to relax. , but it seems...it's not what they thought. "It was true before, but now it's better." Xue Lin replied calmly, while slapping Xue Tai's outstretched hand away, "What are you doing?" Xue Tai pointed to the oil paper bag in Xue Lin's hand with some grievance, "Brother, didn't you bring a few rice dumplings with you?" "This rice dumpling won't melt if you eat it at night, especially if it's cold, so don't eat it. Didn't you prepare some food to go with the wine?" Xue Lin glanced at the wooden table. It was not a full table, but rich. "Stingy!" Xue Tai muttered, took back his hand, grabbed a handful of fried peanuts, and started chewing them. Xian Ge smiled at the two brothers, opened the wine jar, and poured a bowl of wine for each of them. "If Artemo wants to complain, your brother is doing it for your own good."
"Anyway, sister can only speak for my brother." Xue Tai hummed. Xian Ge glanced at him, smiled without saying a word, pushed their wine bowls to each other, raised a pair of beautiful eyes to look at Xue Lin, "You originally wanted to use Jin Changguo to pry open his mouth, but now He died without waiting for questioning. I was afraid that you might get distracted, so I wanted to enlighten you, but I didn't expect that I was overthinking it." "Although I have always suspected the person named Jin, is there no evidence? It is not difficult to pry open his mouth after taking the person, but there is no way to open this dead man's mouth. I am also upset, but now this road has been closed. It won't work. According to the previous plan, we just go to another road, and we were originally going to go this way, but when Jin Changguo died, it was even more inevitable. Fortunately, brother has already been found. Is there a suitable candidate?" Xue Taikan said this, and immediately felt a chill on the back of his neck. He looked up and saw Xue Lin's eyes sweeping over him like daggers, and his eyes were as cold as ever before. He was slightly stunned, stopped talking, and turned a little pale. Xian Ge looked at this scene with a dim light in his eyes. He looked at Xue Lin and smiled again, "If Artai hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known that Princess Yun'an actually had such an ability. It's different from the ordinary Wangjing noble lady. She is your wife, but we are one of our own and will help you wholeheartedly." "Yes, Xian Ge, you also said that she is my wife!" Xue Lin was silent for a long time before suddenly raising his eyes and looking at Xian Ge with cold eyes, "She is my wife, but it is not because of this that she Of course, you should try your best to help me. This matter is my business, why should I involve her? " "But brother, we have been looking for her for so long, and she is the only female scout that you still recognize, isn't she? If you didn't have this intention at the beginning, why would you test her?" Xue Tai asked anxiously. "Who said I was planning to test her? Artai, remember, you are not allowed to say a word to her about this matter without my permission. Do you understand?" Xue Tai stared at her with burning eyes. By Xue Tai. Xue Tai's face was calm, his mouth tightened, and he didn't say a word. Xue Lin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her voice dropped a little, "Artai?" Xue Tai was full of reluctance, but had to reply in a deep voice, "I understand." Xue Lin looked at him deeply, then turned his head, picked up the bowl of wine at hand, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Then he stood up, turned around and left without saying a word. "Brother!" Xue Tai shouted behind him with a strained voice, "Don't forget how long we waited for this opportunity. If we missed it, would you really not regret it? Brother, it's been ten years, you Have you forgotten it a long time ago?" When he asked the last sentence, Xue Tai's voice already contained two sobs. Xue Lin's back was frozen for a moment, and then he took a step forward, with a bit of stiffness in his steps. "That thing was too risky after all. If someone else had to pay it back, it would be his wife, and he would definitely be reluctant to part with it." After a long time, Xian Ge looked at Xue Lin's back and said quietly. "Sister?" Xue Tai wiped his eyes and looked at Xian Ge with an inexplicable expression, with a hint of disbelief. His brother couldn't bear to part with that woman? Xian Ge smiled slightly, "We originally thought of inviting him out for a drink to comfort him, but who knows, it actually made him feel even more uncomfortable than when we came." "What day has he not felt uncomfortable in these years? He has had enough burdens on his shoulders. He is reluctant to let that woman take risks, but that woman is willing to see him suffer like this." Xue Tai gritted his teeth. "A Tai, this is a matter between husband and wife. Don't interfere." Xian Ge said sternly. Seeing Xue Tai open his mouth to say something, Xian Ge didn't wait for him to say it and added, "As you said, your brother and these The years have been too bitter, if Princess Yun'an can really bring him some warmth, what's the harm?" Xue Tai opened his lips twice, but he couldn't utter another word. After Xue Lin left Caoting, he rode directly to the military camp. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the camp gate, he bumped into Yang Li, who was riding through the night and riding from the camp gate.
"Where are you going?" Xue Lin stopped his horse and asked with a frown. It's the middle of the night at this time! Seeing Xue Lin here and now, Yang Li was also very surprised. He just clasped his fists and said politely, "My subordinates are going to the Governor's Mansion to ask for an audience with the Governor. The news came back about the matter that the Governor asked to investigate earlier. The Governor said that no matter what happens, Whenever there is any news, I will ask my subordinates to report it to you immediately." Xue Lin raised his eyes and looked at the slightly thick pile of paper in Yang Li's hand, and his pupils shrank slightly. The lamp was lit again in the handsome tent, and Xue Lin turned over the thick stack of papers one by one by the candlelight. "Madam's past is actually very simple. We have investigated it before, but this time the governor asked us to investigate deeper and more detailed, but we didn't find anything wrong. The only thing is that Madam had been in Jiannan Road when she was a child. I lived there for several years, and for half of them I was said to be ill and was recovering in the countryside. However, the specific disease could not be found out, and the person who served me at that time could not be found. However, it was near the village of Gao's house. People said that they had never seen a young girl in Zhuangzi, not even once, and they didn’t know what kind of illness she was suffering from, and she couldn’t see the wind at all. But later, I heard that the young girl was taken back to Wangjing by her mother. As for when he was picked up, no one has seen it." "Also, after that illness, Madam's temperament has changed a bit." Meeting Xue Lin's sudden look, Yang Li paused and then said, "According to the old affairs of the former high-ranking envoy's house, The servant said that Gao Jiezhi's granddaughter was still very lively and cute when she was young, but after she got sick, she changed into a cowardly person. Even speaking louder would scare her." (End of this chapter)
