Chapter 44

Not long after, he suddenly saw a faint candlelight flashing outside the window——

Lin Yan got out of bed and walked quietly to the door of the miscellaneous room in the courtyard. She saw her mother standing next to the coffin holding an oil lamp.

The lid of the coffin had been pushed open by an arm, and the gold inside had evidently been discovered.

"Mom." Lin Yan called out, pretending to be stupid and asked, "What are you doing if you don't sleep so late?"

With so much gold, it was impossible for Mother Lin to pretend she hadn't seen it.

"Where did you come from?" Mother Lin's face was not happy, but full of worry.

In the middle of the night, no matter how gentle their movements were, it was impossible for them to make no sound at all.

She was already lightly sleepy, so when she got up and looked into the courtyard through the window, she felt relieved when she saw Shen Yinlu and Lin Yan.

I originally wanted to get dressed and go out to ask, but after listening carefully to what Shen Yinlu said, I didn't move again.
Lin Yan: "."

He didn't know how to explain it.

It should be said that he didn't know what lies to make up to cover up.

Lin Yan's silence made Lin's mother even more flustered.

"Ayan, tell your mother the truth!"

"You didn't steal it from the prince's palace, did you?"

"Are you crazy?"

"It must be Shen Yinlu who was the one behind it! I knew this girl was a restless broom star. Not only did she kill her father, but she could also harm others."

"Mother!" Lin Yan interrupted with a frown.

Why are you talking more and more?
Mother Lin stepped forward and took Lin Yan's arm: "Ayan, I'm begging you, can we stay away from Shen Yin? That girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She will not live peacefully with you."

She thought that Shen Yinxu was naughty and wild-minded, and was just making some trouble, but now that her father is dead, Shen Zhang has a weak temper and cannot control her. She has no discipline and fear, and she is so courageous that she dares to steal things from the Prince's Mansion. So much gold!

If they are discovered tomorrow, their whole family will be implicated and killed by Shen Yin!

Lin Yan felt a headache after hearing this.

"Mom, don't worry, you and I won't do anything bad by stealing. His Highness the Crown Prince left this at our house temporarily, and we will take it back tomorrow!"

"You are fooling me! Why should a house as big as the Prince's Mansion be placed in our small courtyard?"

Mother Lin's aura was overwhelming: "I heard everything Shen Yinlu said, and you still want to use this money to buy a house."

If Shen Yinlu hadn't been talking about his family, she wouldn't have had to talk so much nonsense to Lin Yan right now. She would have reported it to the official and cleared the relationship!

Lin Yan: "."

Not easy to fool, Lin Yan thought about it, so she could only tell her mother frankly:
"Then I'll tell you the truth. You must keep it a secret and don't tell anyone, not even dad."

Early the next morning, Shen Yinlu was awakened by the noise of Lin Yan's younger siblings——

When I got up, I saw that there was a fire on the stove in the courtyard. My brothers and sisters were surrounding Mother Lin who was busy working on the stove, shouting for food.
"Stop arguing, we have everything. You can only eat it when your sister Shen wakes up."

Before he finished speaking, his younger sister Lin Mei pointed at Shen Yinxi who was standing stunned at the door:

"Sister Shen is up."

Mother Lin turned her head and greeted her with a smile: "Oh, you're awake, wash your face and come to eat!"

Shen Yin was confused.

Seeing that Shen Yinwen was not moving, Lin Mei came over and pulled her: "Hurry up, Sister Shen. There are a lot of shredded pork and eggs in the noodles that I ordered. Go and wash your face -"

Shen Yinlu was pulled to the water tank by Lin Mei, scooping water for her and urging her to wash her face quickly.Shen Yinlu was confused and took a handful of water to wash his face, but he still didn't react.

Noodles, shredded meat and eggs, which of these three are not only eaten during the Chinese New Year? What day is today?
As soon as Shen Yinlu stood up, Mother Lin came to him with a bowl of hot noodles.

Half of the bowl is filled with shredded pork, and the other half is stacked with two eggs.

"." After being stunned for a while, Shen Yinlu took it and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Mother Lin smiled warmly and kindly: "Oh, we are all one family, how can I say thank you?"

Shen Yinlu: "."

Mother Lin wanted to say something more, but from the corner of her eye she saw several Lin Meis who were already cooking the pots around the stove. She hurried over to stop them and shouted:
"You can grab whatever you want. If you have enough control, they will look like starving ghosts. Go ask your Aunt Shen and grandma to come out for dinner!"

Seeing that Mother Lin had changed her sexual behavior, and seeing that there was still an unprocessed pig's knuckle in the basin next to her, Shen Yinlu guessed it no matter how slow his reaction was.

She carried the noodles to Lin Yan who was standing next to the chicken pen: "Did you give the gold to Auntie?"

Otherwise, how could Mother Lin have enough money to buy noodles and meat.

Lin Yan's eyes were a little dodgey.

Before he could say anything, Shen Yinlu could tell something was wrong with him at a glance. He immediately looked towards the miscellaneous room and stepped up to go——

Lin Yan quickly held her back: "The woman in the coffin was not moved. I gave her the ingot."

"anything else?"

If it was just this, why would he be hiding from lying?
Lin Yan glanced at his younger brothers and sisters gathered around the stove, took Shen Yinxi a few steps away, and lowered his voice:

"Last night, my mother heard the noise. She got up in the middle of the night and saw the gold in the coffin. She thought we had stolen from the prince's palace. She was afraid of being held accountable, so she shouted to report it to the official.
I had no choice but to tell her your identity as Doctor Shen, and that the money was a reward from the Emperor for saving His Highness the Sixth Prince a few days ago."

Shen Yinlu frowned: "You might as well tell her honestly that the money came from Juyuan Tower!"

After Linanguan Pass, she used her medical skills and delivered those Western medicines, plus His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated, and later she rescued His Highness the Sixth. The name Shen Yixian has become a household name in the capital.

There are not many people who know that Shen Yixian is Shen Yinlu. If there are more people, there will be more risks of being exposed.

Especially Aunt Lin's mouth.
"Then how do I explain where the glass beads in your hand came from? Did you tell her that you picked them up on the road?"

Pick up a random bead and sell it for more than 1000 gold!

This is worse than pie in the sky!

Who believes it!
Speaking of the origin of Liuli Zhu, Lin Yan suddenly remembered it and frowned in thought:

"Feng, you don't seem to have told us where your beads came from?"

Shen Yinlu curled his lips: "I told you that I was sent back by the Lord of Hell himself. What did I bring back with me? What's the use of asking so much!"

Lin Yan: "."

It couldn't really be that King Xihan was buried with him. Did she bring him back? !

Seeing Lin Yan's slightly frightened look, Shen Yinwen did not scare him anymore, but said seriously:
"My identity cannot be exposed, at least not now. You must tell Aunt Lin to be strict with her words. No one can say anything!"

Lin Yan: "Don't worry, it's too late for my mother to please you now. What you are saying now is equivalent to an imperial edict, and she will definitely obey it!"

At the end of the sentence, the curve of Lin Yan's mouth narrowed, feeling a little ashamed of his inferiority complex.

His mother walked seven or eight miles back and forth early in the morning before dawn, knocking on the door of the butcher shop, and bought a lot of tea fruits, just to please him——

If he had earned the money, I don’t think Mom would spend it like this, let alone treat her well.

It's just because I think they are rich. I hope she can think of them more and give them some benefits and care.
