Cui's action was very fast, and the Lin family turned over and over again to investigate thoroughly.

The person Lin married was called Liu Jie, who used to be the head and face of the main courtyard, and he was born when he was young. It was when the Lin family was twenty years old, and the old lady paid attention to her early on, picked and chose three households, including Liu Jie. At that time, the old lady and Cui Xuanbi had not yet become estranged, and Liu Jie wanted to marry the Lin family, and finally got his wish. Liu Jie treated the Lin family very well at the beginning, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and the family was harmonious and happy.

Lin was grateful, so he wanted to go back to the old lady to continue serving, and the old lady agreed.

Later, Liu Jieban smashed an errand, Cui Xuanbi wanted to send him out, Lin cried and begged the old lady to help intercede, at that time, the old lady had just had more than one fight with Cui Xuanbi, and refused to bow her head and beg him, so she put it on the marriage Zhuangzi to be a steward.

That Zhuangzi was in the suburbs, not to make money, but to grow some melons, fruits and vegetables to supply the old lady's share alone. In addition, other things can be sold in the bazaar, how much does the Lin family usually take, the old lady never asked, after she sent Liu Jie over, she only thought that it was her own vegetable garden.

Liu Jie is indeed a good hand in business, relying on the greedy money in the Zhuangzi to make a fortune, and has bought a lot of family businesses for more than 20 years, and now he is making money every day. But because the old lady lost power, the Lin family was already old and decrepit, Liu Jie had accepted four concubines in the past ten years, and the family had several dancing girls, and he didn't have a good face for Lin's wife.

Two of the four concubines gave birth to sons, the eldest was ten years old, and they were excellent in both appearance and reading, while Lin's two sons were much inferior because their mothers were not around to teach them since they were young.

How could the maidservants who came out of the big family, especially the personal maids of the lady, be so light and defeated to those concubines who didn't know where they came from?

In fact, the Lin family is not the old lady's personal maidservant, but one of the maidservants prepared by the Xie family when she got married. The handmaidens selected by the Xie family are all beautiful, healthy, and look very good-looking, but they are not very shrewd.

The old lady's real personal maid is the two concubines beside Cui Xuanbi now.

These two did not recommend themselves to the pillow, but took care of Cui Xuanbi instead of the old lady after the old lady became disheartened, and they are still loyal and unwilling to have children.

The old lady takes care of the housework, and she is even more speechless, and in the early years, she traveled around for Cui Xuanbi, and she was also a person who was very capable of managing interpersonal relationships.

But once he gave up and avoided the world, he didn't even want to intervene in the Lin family.

How far does a person have to be so disheartened to have such a drastic change?

And the Lin family, because his life is not going well, so he resents the old lady?

All the intellectuals felt inexplicable, if the Lin family was for themselves, the best way now was to murder their husband, and then all the qiē belonged to their own son! If she had a way to murder the old lady, she would definitely have a way to murder others.

The next day at noon.

Cui Ning arrived at the place where the Lin family was imprisoned, she didn't sleep all night, and begged the patriarch to be allowed to visit in the morning.

The room was empty, not even a straw mat, clean and spotless, Lin was tied to a pillar with a white cloth in his mouth.

Cui Ning stood half a foot away from her, her voice hoarse, "How does it feel to kill someone who has known each other for thirty years?"

Lin's expression seemed to be painful, but also happy.

"I've heard a little about you, too. It was precisely because she knew those things that Cui Ning became even more sad and angry, "You can't live your own life, what's the matter with your grandmother?! The man was also chosen by yourself, and no one forced you! You are self-inflicted, why should you blame your grandmother!"

Cui Ning knew that her grandmother and grandfather were not in harmony, but her grandmother had always been in a peaceful mood, and she herself bore the consequences of her original choice, even if it seemed a little cowardly, it was always ten million times better than someone like the Lin family who put all the sins on others!

Cui Ning was out of breath and gasped rapidly.

The only thing that was quiet in the room was the sound of her breathing, but the guards outside could say in unison, "My lord." ”

Cui Ning was slightly stunned, and Lin's eyes widened suddenly, revealing a little shock.

The door was opened, and the midday light poured in, and a tall and straight figure entered, dressed in a blue cloth robe, with a slightly black face and a somewhat messy beard, his eyes like an eagle, and his eyes full of red blood.

This person looks about forty years old, although he is dusty and slightly wolf-like, he is still handsome, this kind of handsomeness is not just the appearance, nor is it like Ling Ce's high-spiritedness, but the calmness and profundity that have precipitated the years.

Immediately afterwards, two middle-aged women in plain clothes followed in, and one of the slightly chubby women rushed up when she saw Lin, and raised her hand to be a loud slap!

"!" she was stunned, "You dare to attack the lady! Who gave you the guts!"

slapped down several times while speaking, and Lin's nose was slapped with blood, which shows that the strength of his hand is not ordinary.

The middle-aged man didn't ask, just looked down at Cui Ning, "Ning Niang?"

Cui Ning looked puzzled.

Another woman said softly, "This is the lady's grandfather." ”

Cui Ning's mouth opened wider, I heard that her grandmother was only three years older than her grandfather, why did she look like she was a generation behind!

Cui Xuanbi bent down and hugged her.

Cui Ning was startled and reflexively hugged his neck.

Cui Xuanbi buried her head on Cui Ning's shoulder and did not move for a long time. Everyone thought he was close to his granddaughter, but only Cui Ning knew, and a warm tear soaked the clothes on her shoulders.

After a while, Cui Xuanbi raised her head again, except for the redness in her eyes, she couldn't find any traces of crying just now.

He put down Cui Ning and glanced at Lin.

At this time, the slightly chubby woman no longer beat Lin, but her eyes were fierce, and she couldn't wait to eat her bones and flesh.

Someone moved in to the seat, but Cui Xuanbi didn't sit down, "I recruited early, and I have less suffering, I have 10,000 ways to teach you that life is better than death." From this day on, if you don't say a word, I will send a finger of your son, and if you want to die, I will make them ten thousand times more painful than your death. I don't think your two sons have the guts of yours. ”

He had many options, but he didn't have the patience to spend it, so he chose the most crude and effective method.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Lin's tears flowed in his eyes.

Cui Xuanbi raised her chin, and the slightly chubby woman stepped forward to pull the cloth out of Lin's mouth.

"I ......" Lin's mouth was held up for a long time, he was very numb, and he couldn't speak very clearly, "I said. ”

The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to hide, offending Cui Xuanbi is more terrible than offending that person.

Cui Xuanbi sat down.

Lin slowed down before he said, "I will say everything, begging Langjun to spare my child." ”

"Yes. "For Cui Xuanbi, the children of the Lin family are insignificant, and it is not easy for him to force a person who can't survive?

Lin couldn't see a flaw in Cui Xuanbi's calm and tired face.

The slightly chubby woman said coldly, "What you hold in the palm of your hand, Lang Jun doesn't even look at it!

The Lin family knew that he had no bargaining chips for trading now, and Cui Xuanbi, who was really forced to do it, couldn't even exchange this condition, "It was Lord Meng who said that as long as I kill the old lady, she will let me go back to my old life." ”

"Meng Yaofang!" Cui Xuanbi's brows suddenly tightened.

"Yes, Master Meng said that she and Lang Jun are in love, but you can't marry her because you still have a wife at home, and she doesn't want to be a concubine. Lin said.

"Bastard!What kind of thing is Meng Yaofang!" Cui Xuanbi said angrily, "You killed Cheng Yu for this ridiculous reason?!"

"What's wrong? Xie Chengyu has long been dead! Before you took your two concubines to Beijing, no! She was already dead before that! She was like a ghost, and I was so incompetent, I never thought that what I did could hide from her!" Lin found out that Cui Xuanbi actually cared about Xie Chengyu as she did at the beginning, and he was shocked in his heart, but he was also very happy, "You made her heart die, and let her be trapped in the small Buddha hall like a walking corpse! I just relieved her!"

Cui Xuanbi could barely sit still.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Cui Ning realized that Master Meng was actually a woman, because she was in love with Cui Xuanbi, she lured the Lin family to kill, "Grandmother also said that she would teach me personally, and she said a lot of things about the future, she won't want to die!"

Cui Ning is actually not very sure, the old lady occasionally shows some sad expressions, but more often she is very cheerful. Cui Ning can feel that she is an open-minded person, such a person will not think of suicide!

The chubby woman also said, "Don't make excuses for your own selfish desires. ”

Cui Xuanbi got up, "Leave the rest to the patriarch." ”

The slightly chubby woman gently pushed Cui Ning, Cui Ning didn't know why, so she understood what she meant, and stepped forward to help Cui Xuanbi out.

The sun outside was scorching, shining on people, but Cui Xuanbi felt more and more cold in his bones.

The Lin family turned out to be an honest person, and he did his best to take care of Xie Chengyu for so many years, otherwise Cui Xuanbi would not have kept her, and Xie Chengyu would not have done so.

But a person falling from the precipice of despair full of hope is a taste, and Cui Xuanbi also knows a thing or two. Lin has been disheartened for more than ten years, struggling to survive in despair, trying her best to find a place for her children, and in the long-term depression, she has not thought about killing Liu Jie, but once the love of husband and wife made her still have a trace of illusion about this man.

People who are accustomed to despair are not afraid, but they are afraid to see a glimmer of hope in despair, and then no matter how weak they are, they will become crazy.

As early as two years ago, Meng Yaofang came to find Lin, but was rejected by Lin, and then Meng Yaofang found Liu Jie, I don't know what conditions he promised, Liu Jie suddenly began to "change his mind" to Lin, pampered her in every way, and was unprecedentedly attentive to her two sons, and even sent out the concubines who had not given birth.

Lin tasted hope, so she was reluctant to let go, she struggled for two years, Liu Jie's urging has become more and more urgent recently, and one day she saw the old lady writing a will, she felt that it was a God-given opportunity.

At the beginning, she was very uneasy and guilty, but the words that Liu Jie had said kept ringing in her ears: The old lady is more sad than dead, and she has long lost her attachment to Hongchen, otherwise it would not be possible to enter the Buddha Hall for so many years, and you just helped her by doing this.
