Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

As night fell, King Xuan returned to his palace. Shen Jingyi came forward and told him about Chen Zhou's affairs.

"Don't you think this is a coincidence?"

"It's a coincidence."

King Xuan also found it magical. He felt that things had been going well for him recently and his luck was very good.

But Shen Jingyi remembered the source of these things, frowned and cursed: "Humph, that Lin Desheng is really abominable.

I don’t know how many families have been destroyed by him.”

King Xuan pulled Shen Jingyi to sit on his lap and reached out to smooth her frown.

With a smile on his face, he said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry! He has only been at large for the past two days. We have all the evidence in our possession and we can arrest him in the next two days."

Shen Jingyi gently leaned her head against his chest and said, "That's good."

"Are you going out tomorrow?"

"I won't go out. I'll stay at home with you."

King Xuan pinched Shen Jingyi's nose lovingly.

Shen Jingyi quickly buried her nose in his chest and said hypocritically: "I told you not to pinch my nose."

"Hahaha, what a little spoiled brat."

Different from the warmth and laughter here, Lin Desheng was in a state of tension.

The butler trotted in.

When Lin Desheng saw the person, he hurriedly asked, "How is it? Have you found the person?"

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, “No one was found, and no one came back.

Your Excellency, do you think they have been discovered?"

Lin Desheng frowned, "That's also possible. I was careless. How could King Xuan not have a master by his side when he went out?"

"Then what do we do now?"

"Just pretend you don't know anything about this. We didn't arrange this. We will deny it to the death."

"Also, ask the Third Young Master to come see me."

"Yes"

After the butler left, Lin Desheng walked to the bookshelf and moved an inconspicuous book, and a button appeared on the shelf.

He pressed it lightly, and a square hole appeared on the wall, filled with large banknotes and jewels.

Lin Desheng counted out twenty thousand taels from inside and closed the secret compartment again.

Then he took down a famous painting hanging on the wall, placed it flat on the desk, and wrapped the silver bill inside it.

After doing all this, he sat down and thought about what to do next.

Soon, Lin Shiyan arrived at the door of the study.

He knocked on the door gently, and after getting permission, he pushed it open and walked in.

"Father." Lin Shiyan bowed respectfully to his father who was sitting behind the desk.

"Come on, sit down." Lin Desheng said gently.

Lin Shiyan sat down as he was told, feeling somewhat puzzled, but still asked obediently, "Is there something that my father asked me to come for?"

Lin Desheng looked at his son, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "You have grown up. As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I want to ask you, have you ever thought about going out to study?"

When Lin Shiyan heard this, his eyes lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He quickly replied, "Of course I thought about it, but..."

He paused, his expression dimmed slightly, "But I know that my parents are not far away, so I have never dared to mention this to my father."

Lin Desheng smiled and nodded, feeling very satisfied with his son's filial piety, and said, "Very good, in that case, you should go back and pack your things now and set off tomorrow morning!"

Lin Shiyan didn't expect his father to agree so readily.

He was so surprised that his mouth opened wide. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He asked hesitantly, "Ah! So fast?"

Lin Desheng looked at his son, smiled and shook his head, and said earnestly: "When a man does things, he should not procrastinate.

Now that you have decided to go, you must act decisively. "

Lin Shiyan listened to his father's words and felt that they made a lot of sense, so he stood up and said firmly, "Yes, I understand.

I will go back and pack my luggage now."

Lin Desheng nodded, then handed the scroll to Lin Shiyan and said, "Don't you like this painting very much?

I'll give it to you to take with you. There are also 20,000 taels of silver in it. This is for your emergency use. Don't spend it as soon as you go out."

Lin Shiyan took the scroll, his eyes slightly red with emotion, and he choked up and said, "Thank you, Dad. I will definitely cherish it."

Lin Desheng patted his son on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Go ahead, remember to be careful on the way and take good care of yourself."

Lin Shiyan nodded vigorously, then turned and left the study with brisk but firm steps.

As his son’s figure disappeared, Lin Desheng’s kind face also disappeared.

He looked at the darkness outside and called out, "Someone come."

As he finished speaking, a man in black appeared at the door of the study like a ghost. The man was wearing a black robe and his face could not be seen. He saluted respectfully with his fists clasped, and said, "Sir."

"Go to Yushi Mountain and tell Lao Liu to deal with all the people on the list."

Lin Desheng's voice was low and cold.

The man in black took the list, turned around without hesitation, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

But Lin Desheng looked at the moonlight outside, sighed softly, and a trace of helplessness and determination flashed in his eyes.

"Don't blame me. I also want to save your lives, but the current situation does not allow it."

After he murmured this, he sat quietly for a while.

Then he got up and quietly went into the backyard.

In a corner of the backyard, there is a very remote room with dim lights.

A woman was holding a child about one year old and coaxing him gently.

Suddenly she heard someone coming in and she trembled with fear.

When she saw that the person coming was Lin Desheng, she asked in horror: "What are you doing here?"

Lin Desheng looked at her coldly and said calmly, "Aren't you eager to leave the Lin Mansion? You can leave now."

The woman couldn't believe her ears and widened her eyes: "Are you serious?"

Lin Desheng nodded and said, "Yes, here are three thousand taels of silver, enough for you and your children to buy land and live a good life.

Take your child and leave immediately."

The woman took the silver tremblingly, with a complicated light flashing in her eyes: "Did something happen to you?"

Lin Desheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Maybe... Let's go quickly. I'm worried that if it's any later, you won't be able to leave."

After hearing this, the woman couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha, God really opened his eyes!"

Lin Desheng just looked at the woman and didn't say anything to the child who was sleeping soundly in her arms.

The woman laughed for a while, took the silver and said, "I won't thank you, but the child is mine, I will raise him well."

Lin Desheng frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy, but still nodded: "It's up to you!"

After saying this, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving the woman and child in the dark.

After standing there for a moment, the woman gently placed the child on the bed, moving softly and slowly for fear of waking him up.

Then, she quickly packed her own and her child's things, and soon she had packed two large bags.

Then she tied both large bundles on her back.

Then, carrying the child, he went to the back door, where a carriage was already waiting.

She got into the carriage and sat on the soft seat, only then did she feel a real feeling surge in her heart. She could finally leave this place!

Finally free, she looked out the window quietly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
