The next day, Madam Feng took the opportunity to come to the courtyard to chat while delivering breakfast. The people sent by the Minister of War to watch over Feng Ling and others were watching outside, fearing that Feng Ling would take this opportunity to escape.

Mrs. Feng naturally knew all this, so she would lower her voice every time she chatted.

"Why don't you climb over the wall?"

"I have been out, but I always go out at night. Even if I can stand it, others can't stand it."

How could Mrs. Feng not understand such an obvious hint? She immediately smiled like an aunt.

"Oh, which girl have you been hanging out with? I don't know when you met any girl. The child is grown up now, and he will hide things from his aunt. It really makes me sad."

Feng Ling held his forehead with his hand. Although this dramatic aunt posed no threat to his life, she posed a great threat to his reputation.

"She's not a girl, she's the adopted son of the Lin family."

Madam Feng was a little surprised. "Huh? The one who got the medicinal herbs order these past two days? How could such a talented person be interested in a fool like you? Don't rush to pester him. If the Lin family investigates, your father might break your legs."

Originally, the rumors about Lian Wu's identity in the capital were relatively positive. He was a talented adopted son of the Lin family, polite to others, but occasionally a little childish.

Recently, Lianwu won another large order, which brought huge profits to the Lin family and the entire capital's medicinal material suppliers. All the drug dealers who benefited from it praised him.

Madam Feng had heard a lot of rumors about him sneaking out these past few days. Now her adopted nephew actually knew him and they were so close that they could sneak out together in the middle of the night. Madam Feng felt that this not-ugly toad in her family was forcing himself to lick swan meat.

What's more, Lian Wu is now wanted by countless ladies from wealthy families. If the identities of these people were revealed, Feng Ling would have no chance of winning. Not to mention that his father is a second-rank official, even if he is a first-rank official, no one would want him.

After all, the Lin family never participated in government affairs, and most of their children married merchants from all walks of life.

The more Mrs. Feng thought about it, the more strange the look in her eyes became when she looked at Feng Ling.

"There's really nothing between him and me, we're just friends."

Feng Ling didn't know how she came up with that idea, and even if he did, if Lian Wu knew, he would probably chop him in half with a sword and then chop him up to plant flowers.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. If you really want to play with him, I'll reluctantly help you this time. If you fail, you can't blame me."

Mrs. Feng secretly left a piece of paper before she left. Feng Ling thought it was some important information before he opened it.

After everyone had left, Feng Ling opened the note and found it was filled with things Madam Feng had asked him to bring back from outside. Various snacks and small toys. If you didn't know better, you might have thought it was a gift for some child.

But at least Mrs. Feng agreed to go and whisper in his wife's ear.

Everyone knew that the Minister of War doted on Madam Feng, and many wives of officials envied their relationship.

However, Mrs. Feng yearns for a free and easy life rather than love.

However, the Minister of War gave her a lot of freedom, and she could always find opportunities to go out and have fun.

Hua Meng, who had been trapped in the palace for a long time, finally had the chance to come out. The Seventh Princess was going to visit Liuxun Water Pavilion, and Hua Meng was asked to take her along to paint for the Seventh Princess.

Hua Meng was naturally happy to be able to go out, but this kind of trip was very likely to lead to assassinations.

Hua Meng's current character is just a painter. If he really faces an assassin, he won't be able to use any force or props at all. He will be out of place in front of a group of people. His character deviation will probably fall to the bottom.

But it is impossible not to go. The Seventh Princess will tie him up and take him there.

Painting was just an excuse. Her goal was to give him some hope of freedom and then crush that hope completely.

Hua Meng had never imagined that the Seventh Princess's temperament would be so bad at first, and she didn't know what she had experienced that shaped her temper.

At this time, the lotus flowers in Liuxun Water Pavilion are in full bloom, and half of Liuxun Lake is covered with lotus flowers of various colors.

There were many people visiting here at this time of year. The emperor wanted to send away all the people near Liuxun Lake to prevent them from disturbing the Seventh Princess, but the Seventh Princess refused.

"It's lively when there are more people. If it's not lively, what's the point of just admiring the lake?"

These were the Seventh Princess's exact words. When Concubine Huai Shu came to see him, Hua Meng secretly hid the eavesdropping props on Concubine Huai Shu's body.

This time, Concubine Huai Shu also came along for the trip, but there were many mosquitoes near the water, so Concubine Huai Shu just watched from the room on the second floor, lighting incense in the room, and refused to step out of the room or go near the lake.

However, Hua Meng had an unexpected surprise this time. He saw Lian Wu on another viewing platform not far away.

The seventh princess also noticed his gaze and casually asked the maid beside her.

"Who is that person over there?"

The maid looked in that direction and said, "Princess, that's someone from the Lin family."

"Why are the Lin family members not at home looking after that pile of grass roots and tree bark? Why are they all here admiring the flowers?"

"The Lin family's adopted son made a big deal yesterday on behalf of the Lin family with a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan, so the Lin family brought him here to celebrate."

The Seventh Princess looked carefully in that direction, her eyes sweeping over Lian Wu and the Lin couple several times, with a look of displeasure on her face.

"The Lin family's adopted son... there have been quite a few rumors about him these days. If I take him into the palace, do you think the Lin family dare to resist?"

When Hua Meng heard this almost threatening statement, her heart skipped a beat. It would be fine if she was imprisoned, but if this teammate was also imprisoned, would they be able to pass this dungeon?

Without giving him a chance to persuade them, the Lin family headed in this direction.

"I didn't realize the princess was here. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope the princess will forgive me."

The head of the Lin family came with a group of Lin family members to apologize. Before they came here, they had not received any news about the Seventh Princess's coming. Now they ran into the Seventh Princess. If they pretended not to see her, they didn't know how the Seventh Princess would treat them in the future.

Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative.

"No need for formalities. This young master of the Lin family has become quite famous in the capital recently! This princess has heard many rumors about him while in the palace, but now I finally meet him in person.

This face is indeed consistent with the rumors. This princess got a handsome painter a while ago, and I thought he was already the best among people. Now that I have met Master Lin, it can be said that he is even better than him.

Although the Seventh Princess spoke words of praise, no one in the Lin family relaxed, and instead became more nervous.

They didn't know how they had offended the Seventh Princess, but now they had no chance to refute anything.

The emperor will not touch the Lin family, but the seventh princess has always not cared about the consequences of her actions. If she is determined to destroy the Lin family, she will not wait for the emperor to know.
