After the rebirth, the princess became the richest man

Chapter 164 Outbreak
"Then... then you can walk around by yourself. I'm sleepy, so I'll go back to sleep first."

Lin Qingyue turned to leave, but Xiao Xuan grabbed her arm.

"Yue'er, wait a minute, I have something to say to you."

Lin Qingyue's gaze fell from Xiao Yu's angular jaw to the bony hand tightly wrapped around her arm.

Xiao Yu's hands are very beautiful, with slender fingers with well-defined joints, and light blue blood vessels dormant under the white skin, like a winding mountain, people can't take their eyes off.

Lin Qingyue could clearly feel the strength of that palm on her arm, as well as the temperature from the other's palm.

That temperature carried an irritable scorching heat, which made Lin Qingyue's mood that had just calmed down start to stir.

Lin Qingyue didn't dare to look into Xiao Linze's eyes, she lowered her eyes slightly, her slightly drooping eyelashes blocked the emotions in her eyes, hiding her ups and downs in the shadow of the lowered eyelashes.

"It's late at night, we can talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to say."

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, he could feel the subtle resistance under his palm.

The two of them faced each other silently for a long while, Xiao Xuan didn't speak, and didn't let go of Lin Qingyue's arm.

Just when Lin Qingyue was thinking whether to forcibly break free from Xiao Xuan's hand, Xiao Xuan sighed softly and let go of her hand.

His hands naturally drooped by his side, but there was a distressing sense of loss.

"I thought I hid it well." Xiao Yu's voice was slightly hoarse, like the sound of leaves scraping against the ground, revealing a little desolation that was hard to detect.

"I didn't expect to be noticed by you."

Lin Qingyue frowned slightly, doubts gradually welling up in her heart.

She didn't understand what Xiao Xuan was talking about?
Was she aware of what she should be aware of?Or did Xiao Xuan feel that she had noticed something?
Lin Qingyue realized that Xiao Qi would be so abnormal when she was outside the tent. Taking advantage of Xiao Qi's silence, Lin Qingyue quickly called Xiao Linze and asked, "When you were outside the tent, what did you do with Xiao Qi?" What did Xi say? He said I found something? Should I find something?"

Xiao Linze could see clearly that Xiao Yu clearly wanted to express his feelings to Lin Qingyue in this situation.

It's a pity that Lin Qingyue, who knows nine things about feelings, is not on Xiao Xuan's line at all.

Xiao Yu is interested in Lin Qingyue. This should be a happy thing for everyone. As Xiao Yu's elder brother, he should be happy for him when he sees that his younger brother who has been in love since childhood has found the love in his heart, but Xiao Linze is not happy. stand up.

He tried hard to convince himself that the reason why he was unhappy was because he thought that Lin Qingyue was 'unworthy' of Xiao Xuan at all.

Because if Xiao Yu became Lin Qingyue's closest person, he might be discovered... Xiao Linze gradually felt restless, and various thoughts kept colliding in his mind, making him unable to calm down and think.

Lin Qingyue didn't get a reply from Xiao Linze, and she became more and more worried.

"Weichuan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

At this moment Xiao Linze was extremely confused. Hearing Lin Qingyue's anxious voice, he subconsciously let out a soft 'um'.

It was obviously the same tone as usual, but Lin Qingyue keenly sensed a trace of pain in it.

Her heart tensed for no reason, and a trace of panic surged into her originally calm expression.

Xiao Xuan noticed Lin Qingyue's change, and was about to ask, but Lin Qingyue shook off his hand before him.

Xiao Yu's grip was not tight, and she easily broke away from Lin Qingyue's arm with Lin Qingyue's exhausted swing.

"I'm sorry, I have something urgent, so I'm leaving first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it another day."

Lin Qingyue didn't notice the momentary sadness on Xiao Yu's face, she ran towards her tent while talking.

Xiao Yu stood where she was, watching Lin Qingyue's slightly panicked back gradually melt into the thick night.

He stood where he was, in the bleak cold wind, and under the bleak moonlight, his lips opened and closed, as if to say something.

Lin Qingyue hurriedly ran back to the tent, went straight to the bed, turned over and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.

At the same time when her vision suddenly darkened, Lin Qingyue felt a sense of security that she had not seen for a long time.

Because of the violent running, her panting sound was very heavy, and she could hear it very clearly in the narrow quilt.

"Weichuan, what's the matter with you? What's wrong with you? Aren't you a ghost? Does the ghost feel uncomfortable? Is there something wrong with your soul?"

In fact, Xiao Linze had recovered his composure since Lin Qingyue shook off Xiao Xuan's hand.

When he realized that it was because of himself that Xiao Xuan lost this rare opportunity to confess, the guilt in his heart rolled his eyes like a rolling wave.

Under this monstrous tide, that little bit of joy, which was as small as a boat, seemed so insignificant.

He blamed himself and even wanted to vent his anger on Lin Qingyue.

He blamed her for being too stupid, Xiao Yu's performance was so obvious, but she didn't realize it.

These emotions are mixed together, and there is an urgent need to find an outlet.

Just when Xiao Linze was going to vent Xiao Xuan's feelings for Lin Qingyue in a fit of anger, Lin Qingyue's questions like strings of pearls made Xiao Linze shut up against his will.

In the boundless darkness, Xiao Linze heard Lin Qingyue's slightly hasty voice, and thought it was so pleasant.

The slightly trembling tone in that voice was like a treasure waiting to be unearthed. Every time a syllable was captured, it made people feel excited and happy.

Xiao Linze felt like a drowning person. He could clearly feel that he was sinking gradually, but he didn't want to struggle at all. He just wanted to be surrounded by water forever and gradually become one with it...

……

Now it's an eventful autumn, many female family members of the Lin family have died one after another in the past six months, rumors are rampant, according to Lin Qingyue's understanding of Xiao Yu, he will never allow her own coffin to be opened for autopsy, and only Xiao Linze decides at this time The safest.

But no one expected that the accident would happen so unexpectedly.

Thinking of sending Pei Xiashu to be buried in Lin's ancestral grave early in the morning, Lin Qingyue specially persuaded Lin Xia to rest early today, but she was reluctant at first, Xiao Minghui and Aunt Wang also came to persuade, She reluctantly complied.

It's just that no one expected that Pei Xiashu's coffin would suddenly catch fire in the middle of the night.

Lin Qingyue was startled awake in her sleep, and sat up from the bed with a 'crash'. Before she could get out of bed, Duan Lingxue and Chunhua entered the room first.

"Girl, madam's mourning hall is on fire."

At first, Lin Qingyue thought that Pei Xiashu had committed a crime during her lifetime, and that the mourning hall would be set on fire after death, but as soon as she had this thought, she came to her senses.

"Where is my sister? Where is my sister?"

"The third girl has already gone there."

Duan Lingxue replied.

Lin Qingyue's heart trembled, and she hurried to the mourning hall set up for Pei Xiashu. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard where the mourning hall was set up, she heard Lin Xia's mournful cry.

"Mother!"

Lin Qingyue didn't dare to delay, she lifted her skirt and went into the yard. At this time, the fire had already been extinguished, leaving only a burning smell wafting in the yard, which lingered for a long time.

"Why is this happening? Mother..."

Seeing that Lin Xia was about to jump in again, Lin Qingyue stepped forward and hugged her waist.

"Sister, calm down."

Lin Xia pushed Lin Qingyue away; "How do you tell me to calm down? My mother also died. I can't keep my face like you. I wonder if that is your biological mother! How can you be so cold-blooded?" ?”

Lin Qingyue's body trembled, she couldn't help taking a step back, and was supported by Chunhua behind her.

"Miss San, the girl is just worried about you."

Duan Lingxue knew about Lin Qingyue, and she was much better than before she fell into the water. This... Madam really didn't treat her well.

Lin Xia's hands trembled, she lowered her head and cried, not looking at Lin Qingyue anymore.

Lin Qingyue restrained her mood, and said to Lin Xia: "Sister, I understand your mood, it's just that the sparks are extinguished, and people will check it out before going in."

"I'm sorry, it's my sister..."

Lin Xia knew in her heart that her mother had never treated Lin Qingyue kindly when she was alive, but she still felt angry when she saw Lin Qingyue's indifferent appearance, so she blurted out such hurtful words.

Lin Qingyue sighed and reached out to hug Lin Xia.

"I know, my sister's words are just angry words."

It's just kind of hurtful.

But it was true, Pei Xiashu was not her biological mother, and she never regarded her as her own mother.

She had to admit that she didn't want to recognize this uncle and aunt.

Pei Xiashu's mourning hall was on fire. This was no small matter, with so many people watching.

Lin Xia went to rest tonight, leaving Xiao Minghui to watch in the mourning hall. He bowed his head and knelt in front of Xiao Xuan, and said, "My son just went to change clothes, but when he came back, he saw that the coffin had already been lit. If it's a son, he should guard his mother and not leave."

After saying that, he kowtowed to Xiao Yu again: "Please punish my father!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan lifted up his robe and sat down. After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"Help the eldest son up."

Hearing this, the servants standing on both sides rushed forward to help Xiao Minghui up.

"It's none of your business, it's life."

Mrs. Xiao took a sip of tea, looked at the servants kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Do you know why the fire caught fire? Did you not pay attention when burning the paper money, or did you not guard the fire properly?"

The steward of the mourning hall hurriedly said: "Reporting to the old lady, the servants don't know, just...it was late at night, and the servants were all drowsy, but who would have thought that the coffin suddenly caught fire."

The steward was also sweating when he said this, but they dared not conceal the fact that it was related to his wife's body.

After the steward spoke, the servants of the mourning hall also responded eagerly, saying that the matter was like this.

There are no bones left, which is not a good sign for the people of Daqi.

Lin Qingyue turned her head to look at Mother Lin, who was kneeling on the ground, and saw that she was in a daze, and she seemed to be muttering something, as if she had been greatly stimulated. It seemed that Pei Xiashu's coffin suddenly caught fire was not simple.

This is all right, why did it suddenly catch fire?
Lin Xia didn't believe the steward's words, only felt that the steward and these servants lied in order to escape punishment.

"Mother Lin, tell me, what happened at that time?"

Mother Lin is the old man next to Pei Xiashu, and she was brought here from her natal family back then. She is the most loyal, and now Lin Xia only believes what she says.

But this mother Lin didn't know what happened, she screamed out in fright when she heard Lin Xia's words, when she looked up, she saw that everyone in the room was looking at her, and shrank back in fright.

Seeing Mama Lin's reaction, everyone in the room felt that the matter was not simple.

Lin Xia was in a hurry, and hurried forward to hold Mama Lin's hand: "Mama Lin, what happened, everyone is here, you just need to be frank and clear, no one will blame you."

Mother Lin was sweating profusely at this moment, she was watched gently by Lin Xia, she finally calmed down, and wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve, but her face and sleeves were covered with scorched gray and wrinkled There were black marks hanging on his face again, which actually carried a bit of horror in this dark night.

"Return...to the masters, the old slave was guarding at that time, just in front of the brazier where the paper money was burned, for fear that the paper money would be broken, and the madam would not have enough money there, but somehow..."

When Lin's mother mentioned this, her heart became more and more flustered, as if the fire was still in front of her eyes.

"The fire suddenly caught fire!"

Mama Lin's voice suddenly rose, which shocked everyone present, but Mama Lin didn't realize it, she was immersed in her own world.

"I can see it really...'Click' the ground, straight up, it's really big..."

Mama Lin didn't talk about high-spiritedness, which is also looked down upon by ordinary people, and she prided herself on being decent when she spoke. Now she must not be able to say these words when she is sober.

"It's all retribution, yes, it's all retribution..." Mama Lin became more and more excited as she spoke, "There are really no bones left... It's all retribution, those dead children are all here to claim their lives, hahahaha... "

Xiao Yu frowned: "What did you say?"

"I said it was retribution..." Mama Lin said to Xiao Xuan with a smile as if she had gone crazy.

Lin Qingyue sighed in her heart, it was really retribution, Lin's mother was crazy, and Pei Xiashu would not be able to survive if she died.

"Mrs. killed so many children, all of them were boys. They brought the fire from hell." Mother Lin was still talking, and she giggled again after saying this, which made people feel creepy, "You guys Look, they are standing behind you now."
