Married Thrice to Salted Fish

Lin Qingyu didn't know why Lu Wancheng wanted to apologize to him.

——Just because he didn't die? Didn't work hard to die before the exam at the Imperial Medical Office?

There are still three months left before the exam. If Lu Wancheng passed away during the period, he has a chance to take the exam. He should hope that Lu Wancheng will die soon, just as he hoped when he first married him. Lu Wancheng didn't know about Chongxi, and he would not attack innocent people. He just needs to be patient and wait for the night to run out of oil.

But what is he doing this time? He got the prescription from his father and worked hard to improve, dispense, and make medicine. This is true because of his interest. Isn't he really thinking of saving people?

Oh, this can't even be called saving people, at best, it will make Lu Wancheng linger for another half a year. Since Lu Wancheng doesn't care about life and death so much, there is no difference between whether or not these six months have been made.

"If you really want to die that way, just..." Lin Qingyu's throat moved slightly and did not continue.

Lu Wancheng seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said half-truth: "No way, Doctor Lin, suicide will go to hell. Not only can you never reincarnate, but you also have to be enslaved by ghosts every day and do hard work, and you can't stop for a moment. . You know me, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of tiredness."

Lin Qingyu snorted coldly: "Nonsense."

Lu Wancheng woke up, but his body was extremely weak, but after a few words, his face turned pale. Except for liquid food, he vomited whatever he ate, and lived on light rice porridge every day. He couldn't even touch his mouthfuls.

Not long ago, Huantong bought a lot of scripts from the bookstore on Yongxing Street according to his instructions. When he was awake, he half-leaned on a soft pillow to read the script, and before going to bed at night, he half-forced Lin Qingyu to listen to him "telling" until he said he was asleep.

On this day, Lu Wancheng was looking at the script and saw the servants in the Blue Wind Pavilion rummaging through the cabinets in the room, and asked, "What are they doing?"

Lin Qingyu said, "Look for something."

"Of course I know they are looking for something, and I am not blind-what are they looking for?"

Lin Qingyu said: "The'lost' ledger."

Don't think too much about recuperating, Lin Qingyu didn't want to tell Lu Wancheng about the account book. But after thinking about it, Lu Wancheng didn't even care about life and death, and would not worry about this bit of trouble even after thinking about it.

He couldn't help being a little curious, could there be anything that would make Lu Wancheng take care of it a little.

Lin Qingyu briefly recounted the day before yesterday. Lu Wancheng's reaction was much larger than he expected, and there was even a hint of coldness and coldness in his eyes: "If you don't die, you won't die, why some people don't understand." Lu Wancheng pondered for a moment, and raised his lips lightly. Laugh, "Doctor Lin, this is a good time for you to fight for your inheritance."

Lin Qingyu knew immediately that Lu Wancheng had the same thoughts as him. "I know." He said, "Otherwise why do you think I want them to find a non-existent ledger."

Lu Wancheng sighed: "It's not that I said, we are too good together, why don't we...we become brothers with different surnames, how about?"

"...No end."

Lu Wancheng coughed in shock: "Ahem-why?!"

"I have been with you once, I don't want to be a second time." Lin Qingyu said indifferently, "Moreover, I don't think I can get along well with you."

Lu Wancheng was hit hard, and whispered: "Why is it so difficult to hear your scream "Big Brother Wancheng"."

The people went through the Blue Wind Pavilion, but they didn't see the shadow of the ledger. Lin Qingyu talked about this to the Liang family, and Guan Shi suddenly looked like the sky had collapsed: "How good is this! The account book is confidential, and there is only one copy of the account. There is no account on that page, just in case. Something went wrong in the future..."

The Liang was also frowning, and repeatedly confirmed to Lin Qingyu: "Are you sure you have searched every part of the Blue Wind Pavilion? But the subordinates didn't find it carefully?"

"I have looked for it. The ledger is indeed not in Blue Wind Pavilion."

Madam Liu can finally raise her eyebrows and exhale: "Lost such an important thing, the young gentleman has let down his wife's trust. According to the rules of the Hou Mansion, this is to go to the ancestral hall to meditate behind closed doors!"

Lin Qingyu asked: "Why can Madam be sure that the ledger must have been lost in Blue Wind Pavilion?"

Sister Liu snatched the conversation and said: "It was good when I sent it to the Blue Wind Pavilion, but it was less when I took it back! It wasn't lost in the Blue Wind Pavilion, but where could it be?"

Liang thought that Lin Qingyu would still argue, but he just nodded, "I see."

Liang did not respond for a while: "You are..."

"In that case," Lin Qingyu said in a hurry, "this matter is my negligence, I hope Madam will forgive me."

The eyes of several people crossed, and they were a little bit eager to move after being surprised. Liang's lips pursed, feeling faintly that something was wrong, and said, "Qingyu has already tried very hard to find it. There is no way I can find it."

She is like a tolerant mistress.

Grandma Liu asked: "Madam, do you want to tell the master about this?"

Lin Qingyu raised her eyes slightly.

Losing a page of an important account book may be a major event in the back house, but it is far from enough in the eyes of Nan'anhou.

Nan'an Hou has the merits of Conglong. The original partner and the Queen of the Palace are also the sisters of the prostitutes, which can be called the first of the hundred officials. He rarely asked about the back house, and Lin Qingyu saw him only a few times after he got married. Those who are eligible to get in front of him must be major events beyond the control of the Liang family.

Shaojun's negligence is nothing. Liang told Nan'anhou that Nan'anhou would only think that she was making a fuss. But if one after another makes mistakes, the Liang clan mentions it in front of Nan'anhou again, the source of the unpleasantness is the person who made the mistake.

The Liang thought for a while, and said, "Master has a lot of things in the past, so he can't worry about things in the house."

Guanshi Wang shook his head and sighed: "Is it the first time that Young Master has been in contact with the general affairs of the mansion. It really makes people feel uneasy. When I was the housekeeper, I was able to wait..."

In order not to embarrass Lin Qingyu, Liang's "intimate" interrupted Guan Guan and said, "Qingyu is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion. He doesn't share the worries for me. Who else can I count on. This matter will stop here. What's wrong, I'll take care of it for Qingyu."

Lin Qingyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Thank you, Madam."

The Liang sighed and asked the maid to present another account book: "This is the account of the Hou Mansion for the whole winter. Qingyu, take it back and rationalize it. You must not lose it again this time."

This time, Lin Qingyu urged Zhang Shiquan to take care of the books. Zhang Shiquan didn't dare to neglect. People are in the books, and they are locked in the cabinet when they are away. On the day when it was time to go to the Liang family, Zhang Shiquan deliberately counted and confirmed that there were a lot of pages before returning the ledger to Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu brought the account book to the front hall to see the Liang family. Liang ordered someone to serve tea, and asked Lin Qingyu to wait a while, then flipped through the account book in front of him.

"It's weird, why didn't I see the charcoal money from last year? Wang is in charge, but you missed it?"

Guan Shi hurriedly said, "The villain remembered it, it should be on page 26."

Lin Qingyu also said: "There is indeed this account, I have seen it."

"Twenty-four, twenty-five... twenty-seven?" Liang's eyes widened, "Why is this... one more page missing?"

Lin Qingyu frowned: "Impossible."

Liang repeatedly confirmed: "Really not."

"Madame, please look for it carefully."

Liang's face was pulled down, and he threw the account book onto Mother Liu. But anyone with a discerning eye could see that she wanted to dump Lin Qingyu on this account book.

The Liang family no longer had the usual generosity and kindness, and said coldly: "Since you don't believe me ---Mrs. Liu, you can help Shaojun count."

Mother Liu quickly turned the ledger: "There are indeed no twenty-seven pages... Guan Shi, how many pages does a ledger have?"

Guan Shi said, "A total of 120 pages."

Mother Liu counted it from beginning to end: "This ledger has only one hundred and nineteen pages. Why is that another page lost!"

Lin Qingyu's cold face all year round finally showed the anxiety they wanted to see: "How is this possible. Madam, the ledger was not lost in Blue Wind Pavilion."

"You're here again." Liang said earnestly, "Qingyu, I can protect you once, but I can't protect you again and again."

Lin Qingyu was silent, his eyes half closed.

The corners of Liang's mouth hooked silently, and the smile on Mother Liu's face was even more unstoppable. Guan Wang is as anxious as last time: "Madam, about the housekeeper, for the sake of the peace of the Hou Mansion, please think twice! Madam!"

Liang rubbed his forehead: "Perhaps, I shouldn't have high hopes for you. Tonight Cheng is so ill, you should stay by his side and take care of him."

Lin Qingyu finally bowed his head in front of them: "Master Xiao Hou has his own servants to take good care of. Qingyu still wants to take care of the government affairs, I hope Madam...give me another chance."

Different colors flashed in Liang's eyes. She didn't think wrong, Lin Qingyu came for the Hou Mansion's family property. What a clear and cold beauty, she was so secular and sinister inside. If you really let him take control of the house, what will happen.

Liang pondered for a long time, as if compromised: "Don't mix things up with the account book. In this way, the prince's birth mother, Concubine Chen, is about to celebrate her fortieth birthday. You go and handle the birthday gift."

The officials of North Korea and China are very particular about giving gifts to each other. In recent years, the number of gifts given by someone to the Hou Mansion is recorded, and the rewards prepared for them must be carefully estimated based on Nan'an Hou and their official positions and friendship. A little carelessness may arouse suspicion. Ordinary officials are even like this, let alone the mother concubine of the prince.

Liang has laid so much for it, and finally wants to play the big one.

Lin Qingyu hesitated and said, "I have never met Donggong, let alone Chen Guifei's preferences."

"I have a booklet that records the rewards that His Royal Highness and Concubine Chen have given to Master Hou over the years, so please prepare the gifts accordingly." Liang said, "Remember, the saint does not like the luxury of the concubines, and the princes do not like the princes to make powerful ministers. , The gift you prepared for Concubine Chen is worth the same as their reward."

In the Blue Wind Pavilion, Lu Wancheng was feeding himself and drinking the medicine, slowly swallowing it, drinking half a bowl of medicine for a long time, seeing Huantong wishing to help him drink it.

Hearing "Young Master is back" coming from outside, Lu Wancheng looked at the door, waited for Lin Qingyu to come in, and hurriedly dried up the remaining half of the medicine.

Huantong asked in confusion: "Why does Master Xiaohou drink medicine so much as soon as he sees my young master?"

Lu Wancheng said with a low smile, "The medicine is too bitter. It depends on the sweet medicine-Doctor Lin, how is it?"

Lin Qingyu ignored him: "Huantong, go and ask Zhang to be in charge."

Zhang Shiquan was very excited when he heard that the ledger was missing another page: "How is it possible? I have clearly confirmed it again and again!"

Lin Qingyu said: "It's very simple, there are people from the Liang family in Blue Wind Pavilion, and they took the ledger at the last minute."

"It may be Fengqin," Lu Wancheng said casually, "she is quite loyal to the Liang family."

Everyone's eyes focused on Lu Wancheng.

Lu Wancheng said amusedly: "What do you think of me."

Lin Qingyu asked: "How do you know?"

"I observed it."

Huantong yelled: "Such an important thing, Xiaohouye didn't tell us?!"

Lu Wancheng was also surprised: "The Liang family has been in power in Nan'an Hou Mansion for many years, and Lan Feng Pavilion's servants were personally selected by her. Except for the flower dew which was the maidservant sent by his grandparents, everyone else would listen to Liang more or less. Shi. ​​Don’t you even know?"

All of them were expressionless for a while. Lin Qingyu said calmly, "Thank you, Master Xiaohou, for reminding us, we know now."

Huantong was fierce: "I'm looking for her to reason!"

"No," Lin Qingyu stopped Huantong, "Let her go."

Huantong said in disbelief, "Master? Why?"

Lu Wancheng smiled and said, "I guess, is there someone who wants to do a'bad thing'?"

Lin Qingyu did not deny: "She was the first to move."

Lu Wancheng looked at Lin Qingyu, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes: "It's okay. The appearance of Doctor Lin doing'bad things' is also beautiful."

"Master Xiaohou, I think you can sleep in disorder, but you can't talk nonsense." Huantong said earnestly. "Our young master is kind-hearted and still warm-hearted. He never does bad things!"

Lin Qingyu: "..."

Lu Wancheng smiled: "He hasn't done it before, but he certainly didn't think too much about it. Maybe he will do it in the future. Am I right, Doctor Lin?"

Lin Qingyu's heart tightened imperceptibly.

Huantong grew up with him since he was a child, and he still doesn't know some secret thoughts in his heart, thinking that he is a good person. And Lu Wancheng, who had only known him for a few months, seemed to be able to see him through.

Once he married into the Hou Men, he thought he would endure the humiliation and rot in the quagmire, but he never thought that he could meet a...confidant?

Lin Qingyu looked condescendingly at someone who was lying on the bed, who was clearly ill but at ease, her eyes were dark and unclear. Afterwards, he smiled softly and said: "Wrong."

Lu Wancheng's cough relapsed. He coughed when he was awake, and even when he was asleep, he could even wake himself up. It was after Ye Ye woke up, he subconsciously looked at the screen, but he didn't see the person behind the screen, so he forced himself to sit up and saw Lin Qingyu standing by the window.

The long twig stood alone, lonely and cold, like a cage of light.

Lu Wancheng watched in a daze for a long time, and couldn't help but call out: "Qing Yu?"

"exist."

Lu Wancheng asked: "Why haven't you slept yet."

Lin Qingyu was silent for a long time before Fang said: "You said, I look good when I do bad things."

Lu Wancheng smiled and said, "Hey, if you want to talk about it, I won't be sleepy anymore."

Lin Qingyu looked back at him and asked softly: "If the'bad thing' I do is to poison people, or even...take the lives of people, do you still think I look good?"

Lu Wancheng was startled slightly, his breath seemed to hide faint excitement and anticipation, and slowly smiled: "It looks good, I like the way you use poison the most."
