Chapter 169 Strike while the iron is hot

When Mrs. Lin returned to the General's Mansion from Tianyuan Temple, she waited for her daughter to come back after buying her some appetizing snacks. She waited and waited until the news came.

She didn't even bother to tell the old lady, so she hurried out with her people and met the messenger outside the gate.

The servant who reported the news was from Prince Jing's Mansion.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Lin. The frightened horse has been controlled and no one was hurt."

Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief and asked anxiously: "What about my daughter?"

"The second girl is fine too. Our prince just happened to send the second girl back."

"That's good." Ms. Lin patted her heart and suddenly froze, "Why is it that your prince sent Ah Hao back?"

The servant who reported the news smiled and said: "When the horse in your mansion was frightened and ran wild, our prince happened to see it nearby, so he arranged for someone to help control the frightened horse, and sent a young man to report to you, so as to save you from worrying."

"That's it." Mrs. Lin nodded, thinking that Prince Jing was very considerate in his work.

"Then thank you so much, Your Majesty." Mrs. Lin accepted the favor, and then went to the old lady to tell her about the frightened horse.

The old lady frowned when she heard this: "Our horses have been trained, how could they be frightened?"

Mrs. Lin also felt something was wrong: "We won't know until Ah Hao comes back."

Lin Hao returned to the General's Mansion with the orb and went directly to the old lady's courtyard.

Upon hearing the news from the maid that the second girl had arrived, the old lady and Mrs. Lin put down their teacups together, and Mrs. Lin stood up anxiously to greet them.

"Okay, you're back!"

The wrist caught by Mrs. Lin hurt a little, but Lin Hao didn't care and said with a smile: "Grandma, mother, I'm fine."

Mrs. Lin pulled her over and sat down, and a question she had been holding back for a long time emerged: "How can a good horse scare the horse?"

With the driver around, Lin Hao knew he couldn't hide it: "A sharp stone was stuck in the horse's butt, and the horse was frightened because of the pain."

Lin's face darkened and she slapped the table: "This must be man-made!"

The old lady's calloused fingers were caressing the tea cup unconsciously. The tea in the cup had already gone cold: "This is strange. Could it be that he is still the prince? But our family has already broken off the engagement with King Wei. Even if the prince targets King Wei, he shouldn't plot against him.

All right?"

Lin touched her forehead and had another idea: "Could it be related to what I encountered at Tianyuan Temple today? I discovered the headless female body accidentally. Maybe the murderer got the news and took revenge on me.

."

The old lady glanced at her and said, "My daughter has reached the age of marriage. Can you accept your curiosity in the future?"

I went to dig up a corpse with a hoe and dug it up. How dare I call it an accidental discovery?

Lin's mind was racing rapidly. Hearing what the old lady said, she muttered: "It's strange to say that the matchmakers who came to propose marriage to Ah Hao in the early spring almost broke down the threshold of our house. How come none of them have disappeared recently?"

The old lady saw it clearly: "What's so strange about this? Now the whole capital knows that the gangster who kidnapped Chan'er was subdued by Ah Hao and dragged back. Most people don't want to see that their daughter-in-law is the most powerful in the family."

"

Mrs. Lin sighed: "That's right."

Then Ah Hao's marriage will be postponed again. The marriage of the two girls is really full of twists and turns.

Seeing that her mother was worried about her marriage, Lin Hao calmly brought the topic back: "I don't think Jingma has anything to do with Tianyuan Temple. From the time the headless female body was found to Jingma didn't even take half a day, even if the murderer was in Tianyuan Temple

, got the news immediately, and there was no time to plan a surprise in such a short time."

"Ah Hao is right, there should be no connection between the two." The old lady glanced at Bangchui's daughter, feeling a little heavy, "Could it be that he is really the prince?"

Lin Hao didn't want the two elders to get entangled in this matter, so he said vaguely: "On the way Prince Jing sent me back, he mentioned that there were so many officials patrolling the streets recently, and it was because he found that some bad people wanted to take advantage of the Yuliu envoy's visit to cause trouble.

, The frightening of the horse this time might also be their fault."

Mrs. Lin was puzzled: "How can the frightened horse affect the Yu Liu envoy?"

"Mom, think about it, if there are too many disturbances like Jingma, the Yuliu envoy will feel that the security of our capital is too poor, which will damage the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty."

"These people are so abominable!"

The old lady was thoughtful: "Prince Jing's son is quite well informed. Speaking of which, it was thanks to Prince Jing that nothing happened this time. Wanqing, please prepare a thank you gift and go to Prince Jing's Mansion in person tomorrow."

Lin immediately agreed.

At this time in Prince Jing's Mansion, Qi Shuo was talking about Lin Hao in the room of Prince Jing and his wife.

"When my son saw the horse in the general's mansion being frightened, he suddenly discovered something."

"What's the matter?" Princess Jing asked curiously.

Qi Shuo looked shocked: "At that time, I suddenly realized that I was very worried about Miss Lin Er."

He spoke relatively calmly, but it was like a thunder that struck Prince Jing and Princess Jing blind.

The couple looked at each other, and it took a while before Princess Jing hesitated to speak: "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. You have known Miss Lin Er for so many years, and it is only natural to worry that she is in danger——"

Qi Shuo interrupted Princess Jing: "What my son means is that I discovered that I am in love with Miss Lin."

This statement leaves no room for misinterpretation.

Princess Jing looked at Prince Jing blankly.

Prince Jing coughed lightly: "Shuo'er, do you want to marry Miss Lin Er?"

Qi Shuo's eyes slightly drooped: "But my son is worried that the General's Mansion will dislike me because I have a bad heart."

Princess Jing was angry: "Why do they dislike-"

"It's not impossible. The old lady of the Lin family and Mrs. Lin are both people who love their children, and they don't care about family status and wealth as much as ordinary people..." Prince Jing analyzed rationally.

Qi Shuo said calmly: "What does the father say?"

Prince Jing subconsciously comforted his son: "The General's Mansion was in shock today. Fortunately, nothing happened with your help. This is the time when the General's Mansion is grateful to you. If you go to propose marriage, maybe it can happen..."

The more Princess Jing listened, the more she felt something was wrong: "Wait a minute, are you going to propose marriage?"

It seems like a very important step has been skipped.

She was thinking hard about which step to take, and then she saw her husband and son looking at her.

"Timing is very important. Proposing marriage while the iron is hot is the most likely to succeed." Prince Jing said seriously.

Qi Shuo nodded: "Father is right."

Prince Jing was a little proud.

In this regard, the princess is not as good as him.

"Then when are you going to propose marriage?" Princess Jing felt a little confused.

Prince Jing looked at Qi Shuo.

Qi Shuo thoughtfully reminded: “Strike while the iron is hot.”

Prince Jing: “I’ll go tomorrow!”

When Qi Shuo left with the corner of her lips raised, Princess Jing took a sip of the cool tea and suddenly realized: "No, why did we go to propose marriage tomorrow? Shouldn't we first discuss whether Miss Lin Er is suitable for us?

Your daughter-in-law?"
