Chapter 167 Who is that woman?
Outside the mansion, she caught up with Xiao Mo, observed her expression, and asked cautiously: "Miss, do you think the second young lady did this?"
Xiao Mo looked ahead calmly and shook her head slightly.
"I don't know, but judging by the meaning of his words, he must have guessed it."
Shen Yun pouted, put her hands on her hips, and complained, "What a shame, sir! He scolded you without even asking."
"Heh, Xiao Xiang was raised by him, how can I compare with her?"
"Miss, where are we going?"
Shen Yun followed Xiao Mo through a wide alley, thinking that she was going to take her shopping, and the gloomy face instantly melted away.
"Shall we go shopping? Last time I was..."
Xiao Mo glanced at her sideways and interrupted her softly: "Let's go when we come back from shopping. Let's go to Taoyuan first."
After she said that, Shen Yun remembered that they had indeed been going less frequently during this period.
In Taoyuan, Feng Zhiqiu was watering flowers in the yard. When he saw Xiao Mo coming, he happily dropped his things and went to greet her.
"You haven't been here for a long time. Is there something wrong at home?"
Xiao Mo responded to her enthusiastically and led her into the house.
"Well, there are some things at court that I can't leave."
Feng Zhiqiu smiled proudly, as happy as if the person in front of her was her daughter.
"It's a good thing to be busy. It's not a good thing to be idle."
She glanced at the door and looked back in confusion: "Why didn't His Royal Highness Prince Chen come with you? Are you still arguing?"
"No, he, he has something to do."
"Hahaha, it's good to be busy. Being busy proves that the emperor values you."
Feng Zhiqiu stood up as he spoke: "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go cook it."
"Whatever, I like everything Aunt Feng cooks."
"Me too." Shen Yun agreed.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, because Lin was old and had injured her coccyx after being tortured, Xiao Wenbo arranged for her to recuperate in a remote courtyard.
When she just returned home, Xiao Xiang couldn't accept that she, who was once so high and mighty, had been reduced to a slave.
She was so proud and arrogant that she once attempted suicide, but was scolded severely by the patient Lin when she found out.
She gave up the idea of hanging herself not because she had figured it out, but because she realized that she was not the only one suffering.
Even if not for herself, she has to live for the Lin family.
That's why she agreed to Xiao Wenbo's arrangement and worked as a maid sweeping the backyard.
As for Lin, she went crazy after her injury healed. Although her madness was inexplicable, since she was like that, Xiao Wenbo naturally would not let her do anything.
Murong Shu suspected that she was pretending to be crazy, and when she tried to test her, she was discovered by Xiao Wenbo.
Xiao Wenbo cursed at her, saying that she was cruel and vicious and actually attacked a madman.
Murong Shu then stopped and thought, let her do whatever she wants. She can't pretend to be crazy forever, and if she really is crazy, it will harm people if it is released.
Xiao Mo didn't know about these things. She didn't ask about them, so naturally no one would report to her.
That day, Lin was jumping and dancing in the yard with two small flowers in her hands, laughing happily.
The maid who was taking care of her saw her heading towards the door, and quickly put down what she was holding and chased after her.
"Mrs. Lin, Madam has ordered you not to go out and to stay in the yard. Come back!"
She pulled her into the yard and tried to persuade her earnestly.
Lin turned to look at the maid, her eyes full of clarity. The next second, she broke free from the maid's hand and ran into the house laughing.
Late at night, after everyone had gone to bed, Lin sat up cautiously.
Because of her lunatic identity, Murong Shu sent two people to take turns keeping watch.
There are two reasons for this. One is that he really wants to keep an eye on her, fearing that she might go crazy and do something bad in the middle of the night.
The second reason was to test whether she was really crazy.
Lin tiptoed over the maid who was sleeping soundly at the head of the bed and instinctively wanted to grab a cloak. However, she just stretched out her hand and retracted it when she thought of something.
She walked to the door and gently pulled the doorknob, but was frightened by the hissing sound and immediately stepped back.
She frowned and looked back at the person beside the bed with fear. Fortunately, he was not awake.
Unable to go out the door, she could only walk to the window. After taking a look at the night outside, the expression on her face became anxious again.
She looked back at the sleeping maid again and reached out to open the window. Fortunately, there was no sound.
After climbing out the window, she ignored the biting cold wind and jogged all the way to the backyard wall.
There was a fist-sized hole in the wall, and someone was already waiting outside.
As soon as Lin arrived, he briefly told her what he had found out over the past two days.
Since the day she returned home, she vowed to make Xiao Mo pay for what she had done.
Even if I can't kill her, I can't let her live comfortably.
She had heard a long time ago that she had bought a house outside the city for someone else to live in, but she didn't take it seriously at the time.
Now it seems that if I want to make Xiao Mo unhappy, I can start with this matter.
"What did you say? A woman lives in the outer house?"
Lin couldn't believe what the person outside the wall said. She thought there was at least a man hiding there.
What kind of hobby is Xiao Mo? He hides a beautiful woman in a golden house, and then hides an old woman.
The man outside the wall was also a little confused, but what he saw was indeed the case.
He waited outside Taoyuan for two days and indeed only saw a woman and two maids.
Lin turned her eyes, a cunning light flashing in them: "Who is that woman?"
"I've checked, but I can't find any other information about that woman. I only know that Miss Xiao calls her Aunt Feng, and her name seems to be Feng Qiu."
"What did you say her name was? Feng something Qiu, is it Feng Zhiqiu?"
When Lin heard the name, her face turned pale and her heart trembled with fear.
The person outside the wall nodded and raised his voice repeatedly, "Yes, that's her name. Does Madam know her?"
After receiving a positive answer, Lin became even more panicked.
Her breathing became heavier, and she reached out to hold on to the wall, feeling a little unsteady on her feet.
"Go, draw a picture of her for me."
She didn't believe that this woman was still alive. What if it was someone with the same name? Wouldn't that put her in a difficult position?
The person outside the wall nodded in agreement and was about to ask something when he heard the maid's anxious call in the distance.
Lin quickly told him to go quickly, then turned around, changed her expression, picked up a branch from the ground, and ran madly towards the crowd looking for her.
The news of her disappearance alarmed Murong Shu. Although she didn't want to pay attention to it, she was afraid that Xiao Wenbo would say that she was not a good housekeeper, so she had to put on her coat and get up to check what was going on.
Not far away, the maid found a person walking in a very strange way.
At first, she was startled and thought she had encountered a ghost. After seeing the person's face clearly, she jumped up in surprise and joy: "Madam, I found it, Aunt Lin is here."
