My Brother is a Big Shot - Chapter 129
In Fengyi Palace, Yan Shuping retired from the palace and spoke to Mrs Cui alone.
But in just a few days, Mrs Cui had lost a few laps, and the clothes on her body could not hold up. Her face was haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, and when she saw Yan Shu, she burst into tears.
“Miss…”
Yan Shu held back her tears and hugged her, “Sister-in-law, condolences and changes.”
Cui Shi and Yan Chen, the husband and wife, had a deep relationship. His death made Cui Shi so sad that he fainted. After the grief, she has to fight hard, deal with their funeral, take good care of the two children, and take care of the relationship between the general’s mansion… She hasn’t collapsed yet, and she is just holding on with one breath.
Yan Shu lightly patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, “Sister-in-law, please be careful. This is the end of the matter, no matter how sad and painful they are, they will never come back. For those of us who are alive, life will pass, and everything will come to pass. past.”
Cui shi straightened up and looked at Yan Shu with a bleak smile, “Niang Niang, don’t worry about me, Lin Lang and Jin Yu are still young, even if it is for them, I can’t fall. However, the three of them are loyal to the court, It ended up like this…”
Yan Shu picked up the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said softly, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry, you take care of the two children and yourself, and don’t worry about the rest. Trust me, I will never let them die in vain.”
She said the last sentence in Mrs Cui’s ear, her voice very soft. But Cui Shi heard it clearly, and she couldn’t help but worry, “Niangniang, you…”
Yan Shu stopped what she was about to say, “don’t worry, sister-in-law, you just need to close the door to thank you at home, and no matter what happens, don’t worry about it. Also, be careful in everything, Shang Luyuan is ruthless, I’m afraid he will cut the grass and eradicate the roots. , to start with the two children.”
Seeing the horror on Mrs Cui’s face, Yan Shu said again, “Don’t be afraid, sister-in-law, I have sent someone to protect you in secret, and all the nails in the house have been pulled out. You can also take these two medicines with you. Be prepared for emergencies. This medicine can cure all diseases and detoxify, so be sure to keep it well, and if something unexpected happens, give it to both of them as soon as possible.”
Cui Shi’s expression softened a little. “My lady is in the palace, so be careful about everything. Put yourself first in everything. As long as we are okay, we don’t have to force other things. Husband and the others, they definitely don’t want to see you do anything. They are in danger.”
Yan Shu patted her hand and smiled, “Don’t worry, I know.”
After seeing Mrs Cui away, Yan Shu looked at her back and sighed softly, “There is no turning back arrow when opening the bow, it is difficult to give up now.”
However, she did not intend to give up.
In a place she couldn’t see, Yan Qing looked at her back and comforted softly, “Don’t worry, you will definitely succeed.”
Hearing the system’s comfort, Yan Shu’s sadness eased a little, “Yes, now is not the time to be sad, I still have a lot of things to do. System, is the next step to set up an intelligence department?”
After she completed the task of rescuing Fang Jingtong, she got the information technology encyclopedia provided by the system. It involves many methods of training intelligence personnel and collecting intelligence, and the content is very rich. She knows the importance of these things at a glance.
Although she also has a lot of spies, but these spies are like scattered sand, lacking effective management and more efficient operation methods.
If an intelligence department similar to that provided by the system can be established, it can effectively and quickly provide her with accurate information. Then, her road to revenge will be easier.
“Yes, the sooner the Intelligence Department is established, the better. Its existence is not only useful at this stage, but even if you are enthroned, it will still be useful.”
Yan Shu nodded, “But the question is, how to choose the person in charge.”
Such an important position must be done by the person she trusts the most, and she must have enough ability.
Although she has a lot of people in her hands, there is really no one who is suitable to be the leader of the intelligence department.
“I have a candidate, he must be suitable, and he will never betray you.”
Yan Shu hurriedly asked, “Who?”
“Lin Xinghan.”
Lin Xinghan played a chess game in the pavilion and entertained himself. Although he is thin, he has a handsome face and a gentle smile, especially in white clothes, which makes him as gentle as jade, like a handsome young man.
The girls who passed by couldn’t help blushing.
Mrs. Lin came to him with the tonic soup.
“You’re still running around before your body is in good shape. It’s windy outside, so why don’t you put on a cloak?”
As she beckoned the maid to get him a cloak, she filled the soup and handed it to him, “Drink more, my mother cooked it for you, and simmered it for three hours. You are weak, so you should make up for it.”
Lin Xinghan smiled helplessly, “Mother, I drink tonic soup all day long, so be careful not to make up for it.”
Since the doctor said that his spleen and stomach are weak and he can drink more soup to warm him up slowly, Mrs. Lin has cooked soup for him seven or eight times a day, so that Lin Xinghan feels uncomfortable when he sees the soup.
“Don’t worry, mother, be careful, all I make for you are mild soups, no herbs are added.”
Lin Xinghan had to bite the bullet and drink.
Mrs. Lin saw that drinking soup was more uncomfortable than drinking medicine, and she felt distressed again, “Don’t force it if you don’t want to drink it. After you finish drinking this bowl, you won’t drink it. Otherwise, if you don’t make up your body and hurt your appetite, it will be worth the loss.”
Lin Xinghan immediately felt relieved and said with a smile, “Okay, listen to my mother.”
Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes at him, “She’ll be nice to coax me. Since you all listen to your mother, why don’t you like any of the girls that mother shows you?”
In a word, it was related to his marriage again.
“Mother, haven’t we agreed, let’s not talk about marriage for the time being. I’m just recovering from a serious illness, and my body is weak. The doctor said, let me cultivate my body, avoid alcohol and sex, and avoid great sorrow and joy. Take good care of me and wait until the disease is completely cured. , isn’t it still long after that? You have waited for 20 years, and it’s not bad for a few years, otherwise if I don’t take good care of my body, I’ll commit a taboo, and I’ll die within a few years…”
Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Lin covered his mouth, “Bah, bah, bah! What nonsense are you talking about, don’t just talk about death! Don’t mention it, don’t you mention it? As long as you live well and live a long life, mother will ask for nothing else.”
People’s hearts are always insatiable. In the past, when Han’er was seriously ill, she only asked him to be safe and healthy. Now that she has recovered from her illness, she wants to ask him to have a happy wife and children and a long life.
Today’s happiness is all God’s eyes open, why force others? That’s all, just go with him.
Mrs. Lin thought about it, so she stopped forcing him, Lin Xinghan was relieved.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to get married, he just hides a person in his heart, a person he can’t love, so he can no longer hold other people.
After drinking the tonic soup, I watched Madam Lin leave. Looking at the chess game again, I suddenly felt dull.
So slowly got up and walked back to the study.
He sat down behind the desk, and out of the corner of his eye he saw that there was a sheet of paper under the inkstone. He took it out and looked at it, and it was written:
“See you at Qingfeng Teahouse tomorrow at You Shi.”
The writing is very delicate, with dark patterns on petals, and a few bronzing peach blossoms are outlined in the lower right corner. In addition, there is no signature, and the handwriting is very unfamiliar, but Lin Xinghan is instantly excited.
Because this note was made by him, it was given to only one person. Or maybe it was specially made for her!
She is the only one in the world who has this kind of writing!
So would it be her who wrote the letter?
Or, someone knew that this note was given by him, so he deliberately set it up to frame her?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xinghan’s excitement instantly cooled down. Start thinking about whether to go to the appointment or not.
But after thinking about it, he decided to find out. The Yan family’s father and brother were killed in battle. She is now in the palace, and she is afraid that she is struggling. It must be extremely urgent to find him at this time.
He was apprehensive one night and went to the appointment on time the next day.
The appointment was for You Shi, and he arrived an hour earlier, but he didn’t expect that someone was already there when he arrived.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, someone led him to a room on the second floor.
There was a screen at the entrance, and after going around the screen, he saw a man in black with a slender back.
She wore a hood and was shrouded in black. But Lin Xinghan recognized at a glance that this was the person he had been thinking about.
“You’re here.” Yan Shu took off her hat and looked at him, “Sit down.”
Lin Xinghan walked to the opposite side of the table and sat down, and then asked the crackling question, “Why are you here? Does anyone know that you are leaving the palace like this? Will it cause you trouble?”
Yan Shu smiled, “Since I’m sitting here now, it means everything is safe, don’t worry.”
Lin Xinghan was relieved, silent for a moment, and said, “Your family’s affairs… mourn and change. Is there anything I can help? Feel free to say what you need me to do.”
He has a keen mind. He was worried about cheating before, but now that he is sure that Yan Shu is really looking for him, then he will know that there must be something important to look for him, otherwise how could she risk coming out of the palace?
After speaking, afraid of her misunderstanding, he quickly added, “I and your second brother Yan Qing are best friends, and his sister is my sister. If you have any business, feel free to contact me.”
Originally, Yan Shu still had some doubts about the candidate recommended by the system, because in her impression, Lin Xinghan was frail and sickly. Although he had some contacts with his second brother, he was not very friendly. Because the second brother likes to dance with knives and guns, and hunt on horseback, the frail and sickly Lin Xinghan obviously can’t play with him. Therefore, they are often playing around, and Lin Xinghan watches them play alone, and rarely participates in it.
But she didn’t expect his friendship with his second brother to be much deeper than she thought.
“Do you think the death of my father and brother was an accident?”
She had to test his attitude before deciding whether he could use it for her. Even if it was recommended by the system, she couldn’t believe him 100%.
“Of course not! The general is wise and wise, and the big brother Yan is also a brave and resourceful general. Even if the battlefield is blind, it is impossible for an accident to happen at the same time. This matter shows that someone has made a bad hand, and Zuo is only the master of power. , someone crossed the river and demolished the bridge.”
The expression on Lin Xinghan’s face fully demonstrated his disdain for Shang Luyuan.
Yan Shu was a little surprised, but he didn’t expect that he didn’t have any respect for Shang Liyuan.
This is a good thing for her. No matter why he is so angry with Shang Luyuan, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.
“You guessed right, it is indeed under the hand of Shang Liyuan. Then if I say…I want revenge, are you willing to help me?” She asked softly.
The opposite Lin Xinghan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, a smile slowly bloomed on the corner of his lips, “Yes, as long as you want, I will help you!”
