Chapter 33 Sister-in-law is here

Perhaps seeing that her words were listened to by Lin Shuran, Grandma Zhang stopped talking. Emotional matters cannot be rushed and need to be taken slowly.

However, rather than being concerned about Xu Junze, Lin Shuran was more concerned about her stepsons. Xu Mingye has recovered well from his injuries in the past few days, and even his pet Alang can already limp to his side.

Accompanying me at the bedside.

When he found out that Lin Shuran had rescued him and A-lang, although Xu Mingye didn't say anything directly, his attitude became gentle when facing her.

Early that morning, Lin Shuran was playing with a few kids in her room when she heard a message coming from her servants, saying that her sister-in-law Ming and the young mistress of the Li family were anxious to see her.

Speaking of which, Lin Shuran has not had much contact with his sister-in-law Ming in the past three years, but he also knows that this sister-in-law has a very good temperament, is filial and sensible, and is also in harmony with her eldest brother. As for the young lady of the Li family whom the servants call her,

She is a bit unfamiliar.

She got up and went to greet him in person, and saw Ming coming with a young woman who looked somewhat similar to her. The young woman also held a crying baby over one year old in her arms.

"Sister-in-law!" Lin Shuran hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Ming with a puzzled face, "This is -".

"Little sister, I really take the liberty to disturb you. This is my natal sister, and the child in her arms is her. She was frightened a few days ago, and she kept crying every night. The family went to the doctor and tried many prescriptions to calm the fright, but...

It doesn’t work!” Ming explained to Lin Shuran apologetically, “This child’s condition is the same as Sister Yu’s a year ago. You cured Sister Yu at that time. Look at this child——”

Ming's eyes showed pleading, and Xiao Ming looked at her with red and swollen eyes. Lin Shuran saw that her face was haggard. She thought it was because the child in her arms had not had a good rest in the past few days, "I asked the general's wife to help me."

My child, if this continues, I’m afraid he won’t survive!”

Lin Shuran quickly stepped forward and took the child's little hand. He looked at his mouth and index finger and saw a long purple vein. He pinched the vein with a special technique and asked Xiao Ming, "This child is crying like this."

The commotion has been going on for five or six days, right?"

"That's right, I took him back to his parents' house for a short stay five days ago. Who would have thought that he was so frightened that he kept crying and refused to eat. I tried all the methods to calm his soul, but nothing worked!"

Tears fell down as he spoke.

At first, the child in Xiao Ming's arms was still crying and restless, but as Lin Shuran pinched and pressed it at the tiger's mouth and index finger, he miraculously stopped crying and hugged Xiao Ming tightly.

Becoming obedient, a pair of big eyes soaked in tears suddenly shone and became lively.

The Ming sisters were so shocked by this scene that they were speechless. Xiao Ming knew that her son was back to normal. She kept thanking Lin Shuran, and Lin Shuran invited them to sit down in the main hall of her courtyard and asked people to sit down.

Prepare an extra basin of charcoal fire for heating.

"Thanks to your intervention, little sister, otherwise I don't know how long this child would have been crying!" Seeing that the child was frightened and recovered, Ming's heart dropped halfway.

"Sister-in-law, did something happen at home?" Lin Shuran saw that Ming's face still had a sad look on her face, so she asked aloud.

When Lin Shuran asked, the two sisters Ming and Xiao Ming looked at each other, seeming hesitant to speak.

However, Ming thought for a moment and said to Lin Shuran: "Don't worry, little sister, it's not that there is anything going on at home. Alas, this matter has already spread in the capital. Sooner or later, little sister, you will know that it is my mother's family who is responsible for the trouble."

It’s over.”

Then, Ming told Lin Shuran that her younger brother Minghui had made an engagement with Luo Juanjuan, the daughter of Luo Wenxuan, a doctor in the Ministry of Official Affairs. The two families originally agreed to hold a wedding for the two after the New Year. Unexpectedly, Luo Juanjuan was suddenly killed, and the Criminal Department investigated the case.

Ming's younger brother Minghui was actually found. It was said that someone saw him climbing over the wall into the backyard of the Luo family on the day Luo Juanjuan was killed. There were also maids in the Luo family who heard that Minghui and Luo Juanjuan seemed to be arguing in the room, so the Ministry of Punishment

He went to the Ming Mansion to capture Minghui and brought him back for questioning.

Minghui was teasing Xiao Ming's son in the house at that time. Unexpectedly, the official barged in fiercely and frightened Xiao Ming's son. From that day on, Xiao Ming's son couldn't stop crying. Now everyone in the Ming family is also in a miserable state.

, Minghui is the only male in the Ming family, and now both Ming's parents have fallen ill because of this incident.

Lin Shuran didn't inquire into the Luo family's case carefully. She didn't expect that it was related to her sister-in-law's natal family, and she didn't know if Xiao Chen had found out anything about it now.

"Although my younger brother Minghui is young and vigorous, he will never do such a thing as killing someone. Besides, he has been in love with Luo Juanjuan for a long time and is fully looking forward to their marriage in a few years. How could he kill his wife at this time?"

Where's the bride?" As he spoke, Ming sighed and choked on his words. Their father was always kind when he was an official in the court, and his younger brother never had any grudges with others, so why did they end up in such a disaster.

Regarding the criminal murder case, Lin Shuran could not say much. She advised the Ming sisters to relax. The person in charge of investigating the case this time was Xiao Chen. He was always insightful and fair in handling cases, and he would never wrongly accuse a good person.

Ming could only nod, and her father-in-law Lin Youxing also promised to help deal with the matter. She just hoped that the matter would be over soon and her brother Minghui could be released from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment as soon as possible.

After seeing off the Ming sisters, Lin Shuran planned to go see Xu Mingye again. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the housekeeper Xu An, saying that a cadre from the capital government was here again, and that she would take away the seventh young master Xu Minghao for questioning.

talk.

"Lao Qi has been staying at home for the past two days. What do people from the capital government want to do with him?" Lin Shuran was confused, but she still followed Xu An to the front yard. Xu Junze went to the palace and has not returned to the government yet.

Three government officials were waiting for the master in the front yard. The chief police officer was named Luo. He led Lin Shuran to the government office in the capital last time, and it was his brother-in-law who was bitten by Xu Mingye's pet Wolf.

However, that boy was lucky. Although he was bitten by a wolf, the Xu family paid him a lot of medical expenses. Now he has better luck and entered Xu Junze's garrison camp. If I had known, he would have been bitten by a wolf.

.

"Young man, I've met Madam!" Mr. Luo was not reckless this time, and no one from the Xu family sent servants to confront them like last time. I heard that since the General's Mansion had a mistress, the young men of the Xu family have become more well-behaved.

many.

"There's no need to be polite. What does the Capital Government want from my seventh child?" Lin Shuran motioned to Luo Battou and the others to come into the hall to talk, but Luo Battou and the others declined politely.

"Mrs. Xu, something was lost in Zhenbao Pavilion yesterday. The boys caught the thief who stole the thing. They said that the person who asked them to steal the thing was the seventh young master of your mansion. They also said that the stolen goods were in the hands of the seventh young master."

He bowed his head and saluted.
