The Regent's Tender Darling

But... it seems that he did not fulfill the promise he made to Shen at that time, or even failed him.

There were many people kneeling in the mourning hall, including juniors from the Lin family and aunts. The old lady was sick because of this incident, so she didn't leave the yard.

Among these people, the one who cried the most was Cheng Geer, who almost fainted from crying under the care of the old lady.

In the entire mourning hall, only Cheng Geer and Lin Zhengyang were really sad for Mr. Shen.

Looking at this scene, Lin Qinghua couldn't help but sneer. The crying in the mourning hall would only make her feel too noisy, so she simply found an uncomfortable excuse and left the mourning hall.

…

―――At night.

Lin Jiaojiao returned to the palace late at night, and Shiyi and Ye Luo followed her carrying a wooden box with holes dug out.

The box is big enough to hold a person. In fact, this wooden box does contain a person, a living person.

This trip to Lin'an was fruitful. Ding Fan was successfully captured. In order to prevent Ding Fan from committing suicide, Shi Yi was now fed with cartilage powder and was well protected all the way.

Now I'm finally back without a hitch.

When she arrived at Minghuaxuan, the light in the study was still on. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the busy man.

"Come back?" The man's tone was a bit sullen.

Lin Jiaojiao paused, feeling a little guilty subconsciously. She grinned and said, "Well, I'm back."

The man's eyes did not fall on her, and he simply took two tentative steps inside, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have brought you a big gift."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands outside twice regardless of whether the man was willing to accept it or not.

Only then did Yan Sihan put down the book in his hand and cast his eyes on her. Then he saw a big red box being carried in.

"My lord, guess what is going on here." Lin Jiaojiao put her hands behind her back and gently tiptoed back and forth.

Yan Sihan frowned: "What?"

"Eleven, open it." Lin Jiaojiao signaled.

The moment he opened the box, the crooked man lying inside immediately appeared. He was a very honest-looking man with regular features. Due to his age, there was a trace of white hair on his temples.

Yan Sihan's eyelids opened slightly the moment he saw this man. His little girl was really surprising.

"Who is he?" he asked.

Lin Jiaojiao was very sure: "He is Ding Fan, the former Minister of Household Affairs who disappeared. Now he is named Zhang Chunlai and has taken over the position of the postmaster of Lin'an Car and Horse Post."

When arresting the person, they also compared it with the previous portrait of Ding Fan. There was only one difference, that is, the most obvious mole on Ding Fan's forehead was gone.

But if you look carefully, you can still see the faint marks on the forehead. It seems that it was cut off and wiped with good medicine, so the marks are getting lighter and lighter.

There were two portraits in Yan Sihan's study in his previous life. One was the portrait of Ding Fan before, and the other was the portrait when he was caught, which was missing the mole.

Yan Sihan stared at the person in the box for a long time, thought for a moment and then said: "I know, let's guard him first."

"Yes." Eleven closed the two boxes, and then he and Ye Luo carried the boxes out.

After the two of them left, the study was extremely quiet for a while, and Lin Jiaojiao could clearly feel that something was wrong.

It's not that the man is angry with her, because she knows that he is not angry with her, but he is too busy now and his expression is too tense.

Her intuition told her that something was wrong.

So he quickly asked: "Yan Sihan, what happened?"
