The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 509 Suspicion of Wang Siruo

The crowd slowly dispersed, and the kids gathered around Lin Xi.

"Sister Lin Xi, Aunt Cao has been avenged. Let's celebrate tonight!"

Yuanyuan hugged one of Lin Xi's arms, shook it, smiled happily, and revealed two dimples.

"Okay, we have achieved the purpose of coming to the capital. Let's go for a stroll on the street and gather at home tonight for a big dinner!"

Lin Xi pinched her rosy little face and said with a smile.

The kids hadn't had a good look around the capital since they arrived, but when they heard Lin Xi's words, they cheered and ran towards the two busiest streets.

"Fang Ruo, let's go shopping too! Xi'er, you guys go and have fun by yourselves, I'll go shopping with your mother!"

Seeing this, Lin Dayong took Cao's hand and left, and told Lin Xi and others not to follow the couple.

Lin Xi couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"Brother, why don't you go shopping with Yuanyuan?"

Seeing that Lin Kang's eyes were fixed on Yuanyuan's back but his body did not move, Lin Xi asked in confusion.

Looking at the playful Xiao An'er and Lin Ping who were also standing there without moving, she raised her eyebrows slightly. They had just finished their work and were finally enjoying their carefree days. Could something go wrong again?

As expected, the three Lin Kang brothers looked at each other, and Lin Kang said, "Xi'er, let's go back and talk about it."

Lin Xi asked Xiaobai, Xiaohong, Xiaogui and Xiaoque to follow Lin Dayong and his wife and the kids, and then quickly returned to his own house with Lin Kang and the other two.

"Lin Xi, why are there only four of you back? Where are the others? Is everything alright? Was Zhao Ting'er beheaded?"

As soon as Lin Xi and her three sisters entered the courtyard, Damazi's mother came up to them and looked at them and asked repeatedly.

"Aunt, Zhao Ting'er has been executed. My mother and the others have gone shopping. We have something to do so we'll come back first. Aunt, you should go shopping too. I'll ask the housekeeper next door to arrange someone to take you there."

Lin Xi looked at the worried face of the hemp-seeded mother and said with a smile. After that, he was about to go find the housekeeper next door, but was stopped by the hemp-seeded mother.

"No need to trouble them. I'm familiar with this area. I can go by myself. Who knows, I might bump into kids from the village. Lin Xi, you guys are busy. I'm leaving now!"

When Damazi's mother heard that Zhao Ting'er was dead, she was very happy. She let go of Lin Xi's hand, tidied her clothes, and left the yard happily.

"The capital is so prosperous, I have to take a good look and buy a pair of beautiful bracelets for my mother-in-law, and a new pipe for my father-in-law and the child's father. Should I buy some for the children? They will definitely come to the capital again..."

Damazi's mother walked out of the yard, counting on her fingers as she walked towards the street she and Cao had been to. There were a lot of vendors on that street!

Seeing Damazi's mother walking away, the four Lin Xi sisters closed the gate, went to the front hall, and sat down around the round table.

Without waiting for Lin Xi to ask, Xiao Aner put the two beetles that Xiao Hong gave him on the table for Lin Xi to see, and then he carefully recounted the story of how the three brothers met Wang Siruo.

"So that person came after you on purpose?"

Lin Xi tapped the table lightly with his fingers and asked while looking at the three people.

"Yes, the road was so wide at the time, and there was clearly space for people to walk on the side. There were also other pedestrians. It would have been easier for her to attack those people, but she just ran straight towards us. It didn't seem like she was randomly choosing people to release the insects on."

Lin Kang recalled the situation at that time and answered with certainty.

"That means he has a grudge against us and is here to take revenge on us!"

Lin Xi narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Sister, could it be someone from the Minister of Rites' Mansion or the Marquis of Anyang's Mansion who is seeking revenge on us for Cao Fangqing or Zhao Ting'er? Apart from them, who else in the capital would take the initiative to attack us? We haven't offended anyone."

Little Aner lay on the table, holding his chin, his face wrinkled, and expressed his thoughts.

After hearing what Lin An said, Lin Ping nodded, then shook his head, and continued to analyze: "Marquis Anyang has a very good relationship with my uncle, and he has already divorced Cao Fangqing. His relationship with Cao Fangqing was average before the divorce. It is unlikely that he would seek revenge from us for an abandoned woman. I guess this person is more likely to be related to the Minister of Rites' Mansion."

"I feel that my second brother's analysis makes sense."

After listening to Lin Ping, Lin Kang nodded in agreement.

"There is someone in Anyang Marquis' Mansion who hates us to the core! She is more suspicious than the one in the Minister of Rites' Mansion!"

Lin Xi suddenly stood up and said to the three of them.

"Wang Siruo!"

Lin Kang and the other two thought of the woman they met today. Her figure and voice were very similar to Wang Siruo, and they all called out the name at the same time.

"Sister, do you want to go to Anyang Marquis's Mansion tonight?"

Xiao An'er thought of Lin Xi's style of doing things, looked at her with shining eyes and asked.

Just as Lin Xi was about to answer, there was a knock on the door.

The sisters walked towards the gate at the same time.

"Greetings to Miss Lin, and to the three gentlemen!"

Leng, who was standing outside the door, saw the courtyard door open and the four Lin Xi sisters came out. He hurriedly bowed and saluted them respectfully.

"Guard Leng, there's no need to be so polite. I wonder what brings you here?"

Lin Xi asked him to stand up and asked with a smile.

"The Regent will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow to welcome Miss Lin and the others. I wonder if you have finished your work and whether you can come to the palace to attend the banquet?"

After Leng Yi finished speaking, he took out a token from his arms and handed it to Lin Xi with both hands, telling her that she could enter and leave the palace freely with this token.

Lin Xi took the token after just a brief thought, as she happened to have something to ask Jun Moyue.

"I wonder when is the best time for us to enter the palace tomorrow?"

Lin Xi played with the token, looked at Leng Yixiao and asked.

"Miss Lin, you can all enter the palace at the beginning of the morning tomorrow. The Regent King has specially put tomorrow's government affairs aside for today, so you can have a good day in the palace."

Leng couldn't help but twitch his lips when he thought of the pile of memorials on his master's desk today, which were blocking the way for others.

In order to accompany Miss Lin, his master really tried his best. There were so many memorials that he must have reviewed them until the early hours of the morning.

"Okay, I got it. Thank you for your help, Guard Leng. Here are some pills to strengthen your body. Please accept them, Guard Leng!" Lin Xi took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Leng Yi.

"Thank you, Miss Lin. I will not disturb you and the three gentlemen any more. Bye!"

When Leng Yi saw the small porcelain bottle, his eyes lit up. This was a good thing. He took it without thinking, clasped his fists to thank Lin Xi, and left quickly.
