Chapter 247 Exiled Man's Sister-in-law 20
Although Yu Wan was full of hatred towards Lin Zhi and Liu Jing, she still did not give up on her goal of making the third prince regret his actions, and sent a lot of things over.

Liu's mother was very touched, but she didn't accept it. Seeing her stunned, her eyes gradually filled with tears, she felt very embarrassed.

She was a very traditional woman. She obeyed her father at home, her husband after marriage, and her son after her husband's death. Now that her husband and her eldest and second sons were gone, she had to listen to her third son. Liu Jing was determined and would rather suffer a "falling out" and be blamed by others than to sever ties with Yu Wan. It was useless for her to scold him. There was nothing she could do.

Yu Wan looked at the uneasiness on Liu's mother's face, but her heart was cold. Not only did she not speak for her, but now she had to listen to Lin Zhi and refuse to contact her.

He was filled with anger, put down his things, and left with a dejected look on his face.

Mother Liu sighed deeply again, turned around and went into the house. Seeing Liu Yang, she asked, "Where are your second sister-in-law and third brother?"

Liu Yang was embroidering and preparing to sell it in town. She looked up when she heard the words, her eyes full of confusion: "Second sister-in-law said she would be back soon, but third brother... I don't know, he didn't say."

Mother Liu frowned. For some reason, she always felt that there was a secret between her second daughter-in-law and her third son.

Here, Linzhi went to the town, gave a few copper coins to the villager who brought her into the city to let him go out and have fun, and she found a teahouse to inquire about the news. As a prisoner, it was not easy for her to travel, but it was much more convenient with the villagers accompanying her.

After inquiring, they learned that Black Mountain was a bit far from where they were, and it was said that the place had been blocked by soldiers and no one was allowed to approach.

In the great battle a few months ago, many people died there, and the bodies have not yet been dealt with. However, the general defending the city now is a general named Ling Yuan, who used to be a general under Liu's father. He was the one who reminded Liu's father at that time, but Liu's father simply did not listen to him.

Now that Liu's father was dead, he suddenly became the general defending the city, and was very popular among the people and soldiers.

Lin Zhi narrowed her eyes. Now the whole city was filled with negative news about the Liu family. However, after careful consideration, she discovered that although everyone was saying that Liu's father was too ambitious, he had caused 50,000 soldiers to be buried in the Black Mountain.

However, in this battle with the Huns, no city was lost and the Huns' attack was blocked.

On the contrary, the Huns made a comeback soon in the future, and General Ling was defeated and lost several cities in a row. The people were trampled by the Huns, and countless soldiers were killed and wounded. The emperor had no choice but to find Liu Jing, the only remaining heir of the Liu family, to fight again.

From this perspective, this so-called General Ling is simply a person who seeks fame and reputation.

The story about Liu's father being ambitious and ostentatious is most likely false. It might have been him who spread the story. This man is most likely the traitor who killed Liu's father and son in order to get promoted and make money.

And Liu Zong...

He should still be recovering from his injuries, but the area near Black Mountain is too large and it is difficult to find him.

Lin Zhi thought for a moment and decided to find a few peddlers to help search the villages. It should be faster. When he came out of the teahouse, he unexpectedly saw Liu Jing there. His eyes were red and full of hatred. He probably heard what the storyteller said just now.

When you think about the truth, you will feel hatred in your heart.

Ignoring him, she found a peddler, gave him some silver, bought some things, and then went back to the village with the villagers. Soon Liu Jing also came back with his normal look on his face.

In the following days, he went out from time to time, using the excuse of going to the town to see a doctor for acupuncture to treat his leg.

Linzhi often goes out and is not seen.

Liu's mother and Liu Yang were the only ones left in the house. The two of them actually wanted to ask them what they were doing, but they wouldn't tell them even if they asked. There was nothing they could do but do their own thing.

Yu Wan almost tore her handkerchief into pieces. Seeing that they often went out, she suspected that the two were having an affair, so she followed them secretly, but found that they were not in the same place at all, which made her very confused. However, her little ability had long been discovered by Lin Zhi and Liu Jing. Lin Zhi didn't care, and Liu Jing deliberately misled her several times, causing Yu Wan to almost get into trouble and dare not follow them anymore.

That day, Linzhi received news that a peddler had seen a person who looked very similar to her description in a village. She immediately told her family and followed the peddler.

Liu Jing's face was very dark. He had asked her what she was doing before, but she didn't tell him and didn't let him stop her. He also secretly asked the peddler, but the peddler said that the silver he gave was not as much as Lin Zhi's, so he didn't tell him, haha...

In fact, Lin Zhi had followed the peddler out several times, but although they were all men recovering from injuries, none of them were Liu Zong. After all, it was obvious that those injuries were not caused by the battlefield. This time she was not sure if it was him, but she had to go and confirm it in person.

She disguised herself as a peddler's sister, carrying a load on her shoulder, and entered the village.

Some aunties, wives and children came up to ask about the goods. The peddler explained to them with his fluent speech and smile. Linzhi quietly stepped away, coaxed a child with candy, and asked him where the injured man lived. The child immediately said he would take her there.

The village is very small, with not many residents, and the villagers are poorly dressed. It is obvious that the conditions in the village are not good.

Not long after they walked, a wooden house built on the edge of the village appeared in front of them. The child ran over and looked inside the house, then quietly opened the door, waved at her, and then slipped in.

Lin Zhi also pushed the door open and saw the man lying on the bed in the room.

He had an untidy beard and a yellowed white cloth wrapped around his chest, which was oozing blood. His hands were placed on the side of the bed with distinct joints. He had lost a lot of weight. He was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was in pain.

She walked over and took a quick look. She could tell that the person who saved him didn't have much money, and there was not even a smell of medicine in the room.

The bandaging technique was also very rough, not like that done by a professional doctor.

"Little boy, do you know this man's name and who saved him?" Although he couldn't see his face clearly, the injury was almost certain.

The child thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Sister Taohua picked him up in the mountains and said she wanted him to be her husband."

Lin Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly. Being a husband?

At this moment, the person on the bed opened his eyes and saw her. His eyes suddenly became sharp: "Who are you?" He immediately sat up, and the movement pulled the wound on his chest, and he gasped.

But he still stared at her, and immediately asked the child in the room. The child was confused and said, "Brother Liu, this sister said she came to see you."

find him?

Liu Ying looked at the woman. She was wearing a coarse linen dress and had a fair face. She was looking down at him. He was puzzled and didn't recognize her at all, but he felt as if he had seen her somewhere.

He was startled. Could it be someone who knew him? He quietly put his hand under the pillow and said, "You've got the wrong person. I don't know you."

Lin Zhi looked at him: "Is your last name Liu?"

"Yes, Liu Ying, I don't like to meet strangers. Miss, please leave."

"Is it Liu or Liu?"

Liu Ying's eyes darkened. It turned out that she was coming for Liu Zong: "Liu, the willow tree, don't you understand what I am saying, young lady?"

"Oh."

Lin Zhi looked around the room and saw nothing of a woman's. It seemed that he knew his limits, so she called out, "Liu Zong."
