Lin Qisheng looked at his daughter and sighed softly, "When I was traveling, I met a group of robbers, and when the bandit led me was threatening with a knife, I could only choose to compromise and exchange conditions with him. ”

"So you shamelessly abandoned your wife and children and hid here, watching them struggle in danger." Lin suddenly hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, and a touch of coldness crossed his eyes.

"Suddenly, I, I'm also forced to be helpless!" Lin Qisheng was so weak that he praised his shoulders, looked at his palms helplessly, and muttered: "It was he who promised me to take good care of my wife and children that I promised him to do this." ”

"Oh, is it? So let me ask you, did Mrs. Lin really die of a serious illness? Or is it that in fact, you and the second lady have already colluded? Lin Ranran said softly indifferently, and every sentence pierced straight into Lin Qisheng's heart like a sharp sword, his complexion changed faintly, and when he raised his head and saw the other party's clear eyes, there was no trace of warmth in Lin Ranran's eyes.

For so many years, he was originally a man with a bright future, but because of an unexpected disaster, he became what he is now, and now his daughter does not come to comfort him, but still asks him loudly, can he not be angry in his heart? If he didn't want to leave this place where there was no sunlight, why would he be questioned by Lin Ranran.

Lin Qisheng suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "This is a matter between me and your second wife, what do you know as a child." ”

Lin suddenly thought coldly, what a selfish man, he actually wanted to make excuses for his derailment at this time, originally she planned to test the attitude of the real Lin Qisheng, if he had a trace of repentance, she would let him go, but now looking at him like this, there is no shadow of his mother in his heart at all, so don't blame her for turning her face and being ruthless.

"Father, don't you want to know how the second lady is doing recently?" Lin suddenly smiled harmlessly, looking like a tame kitten, but Lin Qisheng was not so easy to fool, he immediately sank his face and said, "What do you want?" ”

"I don't want to do anything?" Lin Ran smiled and said, "As long as you tell the truth of the matter, father, I will tell you how the second lady is now, don't you like her very much?" ”

Lin Qisheng slapped the table angrily, "Is this what you said to the elders?" ”

Lin suddenly sneered softly: "Father, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me, because I am the only one here who knows that you live here, do you want to stay here for the rest of your life in this dark secret room?" ”

Lin Qisheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you threatening me?" ”

Lin suddenly smiled harmlessly and said, "How dare I threaten you, father, I just want to help you!" ”

"You..., you!" Lin Qisheng trembled his lips, his hands trembled and pointed at her, "You unfilial daughter." ”

"How can I be unfilial, as long as you answer my question, I will let you out, I am the only one who can save you right now, right? Or do you want your second lady or your dear son to save you? ”

For the first time, Lin Qisheng found out when his daughter became so sharp and toothy, which was completely different from the little girl who always hid behind the eldest lady before.

"How can I be sure you're going to get me out?" Lin Qisheng was a cunning old fox, but Lin Ran smiled disapplausively: "You have no choice." ”

"Very good, very good, great, this is the good daughter taught by the He family." Lin Qisheng laughed and said, "Why didn't I find out that you are so good at talking." ”

Lin Ran smiled coldly in his heart, you know that there is quite little, her body has long been replaced by another body, and he still wants to bargain with her, but it also depends on whether he has the ability.

"Talk to me when you're done, Green Willow, let's go." Lin suddenly dropped this sentence, as if he was a negotiator, she was sure that Lin Qisheng would definitely hesitate, and he was born to enjoy the treatment of a young master, and now let him stay in the dark secret room, it is already very good not to drive him crazy, it seems that this enemy knows his character very well.

"Wait." Lin Qisheng stopped her from behind.

At this time, in the Fushou Hall, the old lady finally had an eyebrow about asking Mama Lian to investigate, and Mama Lian walked in and said: "The slave maid went to check, and the blue and white flowers were indeed sold to the old mother in the kiln by Yiyazi." ”

"Really? What about people? The old lady frowned and said, even Mama had been waiting for the old lady's words for a long time, and said to the figure outside the door: "Come in quickly, the old lady will let you in." ”

Qinghua resignedly walked in from outside the door, looking humble compared to the beginning, Old Madam Lin couldn't help frowning, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Lian Mama sighed softly: "It's really pitiful, old lady, look at the whip marks on her body, they were all beaten by someone." ”

The old lady slapped the table violently, "Is there any royal law here, Qinghua, tell me honestly, where did your whip marks come from?" ”

Qinghua shrank her shoulders, lowered her head timidly, and said, "Slave... The slave refused to give in, and it was the tooth that beat me like this. ”

"How can it be!" The old lady was even more angry, "What else do you have to say, as long as you say it honestly, I will give you a stable life." ”

"Really?" Qinghua raised her head in surprise, there were pieces of scars on her neck, the old lady sighed softly in her heart, the rule in the Lin Mansion is that even if the maid does something wrong, she must not use a whip to punish the subordinate, unless it is a person who is extremely evil, she also ordered someone to beat her with a board, but where is there a piece of good meat on the maid in front of her.

Mama Lian secretly glanced at the old lady's expression, and knew that her old man was moved by compassion, so she said to Qinghua: "You can rest assured to say it, the old lady will make the decision for you." ”

"Yes, yes." Qinghua knelt on the ground, and said in fear, "It was the second lady who saw that I was not doing well, and locked me in the firewood room and starved for three days before selling it to Yazi." She told the old lady in detail about the rest of the matter, and after listening to it, Mrs. Lin slammed the cup in her hand to the ground, "This Gu family is really lawless!" ”

Just as the old lady was angry, the eldest lady walked in from outside the door, saluted the old lady, and said, "Mother, why are you so angry!" Who messed with you? ”

The old lady looked at He's, the original anger slowly calmed down, this period of time the old lady to the eldest daughter-in-law changes or in the eyes, whether it is the ability to deal with things or to take care of their own children, she has shown excellent management skills and calm attitude, which inevitably makes the old lady look at her differently, of course, behind the eldest lady is indispensable to the sudden fuel, thinking of this, she was relieved to beckon the eldest lady over, and told her what happened just now.

Looking at the scene in front of her, the eldest lady smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and said calmly: "Old lady, since I am the head mother of this family, it is better to leave this matter to me to deal with!" ”

The old lady looked sideways at the eldest lady, with a look of surprise on her face: "You will deal with it?" ”

The eldest lady nodded lightly: "In the past, I was not in good health, and there were so many things due to my negligent management of the backyard, but now that I have recovered my health, I will deal with the affairs of the inner courtyard, old lady, please rest assured!" ”

Hearing her say this, the old lady nodded with relief, "That's fine, even Mama, go and call the master to come over, and bring the second lady to me too, I want to see what else she has to quibble, and the next thing will be handled by you." She looked at the eldest lady and nodded.

After a while, Master Lin and the second lady walked in, the second lady Gu has not slept well and eaten well in the past few days, the whole person is in good shape, her face is sallow and sallow, completely like a refugee reincarnated by a hungry ghost, to be honest, how can the second lady sleep well and eat well, someone is watching her every day, and she originally had a ghost in her heart, it is not easy to live until now, the old lady naturally does not know what is going on, thinking that the Gu family is used to being pampered, and she refuses to eat well to become like this.

The second lady saw the old lady sitting in front of the hall, as if she had seen a savior, she thought she was saved, and quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Mother! ”

The old lady glanced at her coldly, and her eyes were like cold and piercing ice, which made the second lady shiver.

"I'll give you another chance, did you instigate the safflower pollen to release it?"

"No, I didn't put it." The second lady still did not change her mind, hoping to have a fluke in her heart, but the old lady saw that she refused to admit it, and sighed in her heart: "He, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

When these words were spoken, the second lady looked at the eldest lady in surprise, "It's not fair, why do you want the eldest lady to judge me!" She's amazing. ”

"It's not fair!" The old lady smiled coldly, "I think the person who is the best at upholding justice in this courtyard is the He family, and I, the old woman, naturally have to take a back seat, so as not to attract any gossip, whether I am right or not." She glanced at Lin Qisheng as she spoke, Lin Qisheng turned his head to look at the eldest lady, only to see her sitting quietly, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, where is the second lady so powerful, then nodded: "Yes, what Mother said is, Gu's don't say anything, today's matter will be decided by He's." This limelight turned too fast, the second lady's face crossed a look of jealousy, she glanced in the direction of her husband, but Lin Qisheng didn't look at her at all, the second lady's mood suddenly sank to the bottom, she clenched her fists, she couldn't lose, she definitely couldn't lose to this good-for-nothing woman in front of her.

At this moment, the eldest lady ordered someone to bring Qinghua out, and the first sentence she said was: "Gu Shi, do you remember her?" ”
