Chapter 93 (2nd Watch)
To be precise, Cao Zhou's did not officially hand over the post to ask to see Ye Zhong's, but waited for Ye Zhong's carriage to travel outside the mansion, Ye Zhong's heard her mention Lin Long, and looked at the street where people came and went outside the alley, so she was allowed to enter the mansion to talk.
Cao Zhou's is not the one who has never seen the rich, she herself will have a little medical skills, and occasionally some women in the house of the rich family come to her for treatment when they have a woman disease who cannot see the light, so after coming in, she didn't look around with shallow eyelids, but learned from Ye Zhong's to sit upright in the chair.
"Mrs. Hou, I came here to see you, not for anything else, you also know that this second marriage of the second daughter is really a loss of face for our two families, of course, your family in the industry can not afford to lose this person, I also know today that she actually lied to you that she did not agree to marry, as early as before, she was engaged to my son, this is the Geng post at that time."
She got up and handed a so-called Geng post to the table in front of Ye Zhong's.
Ye Zhongshi glanced at Lin Long's birthday on it, and was slightly surprised in his heart, could it be that there was no wind and no waves? However, his face was silent, and he snorted coldly, "Mrs. Cao, I don't know what your intention is to take such an inaccurate Geng post?" I think I'm quite confident in my vision, I know what kind of woman Lin Long is, if you slander her reputation again......"
"Mrs. Hou, you are fooled by her, she and my son have already made a private contract for life, this is also known in Suzhou City, you send someone out to inquire about it, you will know that what I said is not true." Cao Zhou's face was serious.
Every time she saw Lin Long's jade skin shop doing a prosperous business, she couldn't wait to grab the silver in her hand, yesterday Lin Yu's family came to her, the two of them combined, she immediately made a decision, as long as Lin Long can't enter the door of the Ye family, after losing her face, she will propose again, and it will not be a matter of course? I'm afraid that at that time, she will still be grateful to her regardless of her past suspicions? Otherwise, who else wants her?
Looking at this Cao Zhou's determined look, Ye Zhong's face finally changed, what kind of trick can he really say? Lin Long's little face appeared in front of her again, she didn't look like that kind of indecent woman.
As soon as Cao Zhou saw Ye Zhong's expression, he knew that she was shaken, and seeing that things had gone in the direction she expected, she was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to say something more to shake Mrs. Hou of Xiangyang, "Mrs. Hou, if there is no such thing, how can I come to talk nonsense?" Although my Cao family is not a big family, they are still a face-saving doctor in Suzhou City, and now my son is so angry that he is sick and bedridden for her......"
Listening to Cao Zhou's nonsense, the incense rafters were a little anxious, and they wanted to interject but they didn't have the qualifications, so they kept tilting their necks and looking at the door that entered the hall, hoping that Lin Long would come quickly, otherwise they were afraid that their wives would be gullible.
Suddenly, someone came in to report that Mrs. Lin had visited.
Ye Zhongshi was frowning, at this time, Lin Yu's came here to say something, thinking that yesterday was the son of the pharmacy shopkeeper that Lin Yu's first mentioned, so he said, "Let her in." ”
After a while, Lin Yu's family came in in a hurry, followed by Lin Bai's family, and both of them looked a little anxious.
As soon as Lin Yu's came in, he didn't bother to greet Ye Zhong's family, but angrily stepped forward and pointed at Cao Zhou's and said: "Okay, you are a Cao wife, return my sister's Geng post back, I went to your shop yesterday to grab medicine, how do I know that you took advantage of my unpreparedness and stole the Geng post away, if I don't go to the pharmacy to find you today, I don't know that you came here to talk nonsense and ruin our family's Long sister's reputation......
Cao Zhou's was stunned for a moment, and he was busy giving Lin Yu's eyes, they all discussed it yesterday, why did she change her hexagram as soon as she came in? "What nonsense are you talking about, your Lin family wants one daughter and two marriages, but my Cao family doesn't agree, it's great that let's go to the yamen to theorize and see who is in charge?"
Lin Bai's clan did not join the combat power of that side, but saluted Ye Zhong's and said: "Mrs. Hou, this matter is really the negligence of us aunts, originally yesterday's uncle of Sister Long urged us to take the Geng post and let people evaluate it again, so that there is a bottom, who knows that it will not be found later, and finally I remember that it was lost in the Cao family's pharmacy......"
This statement was thought of by the two of them when they came, she didn't want to clean up the mess for Lin Yu's family, she is now completely disgusted with this concubine, in the past, when she was mourning her father-in-law in Beijing, she also said that she was easy to get along with, but now she knows that it is a real person who does not show her face.
can think about it, Lin Long is almost the righteous daughter of Governor Zheng, and people want to recognize this righteous relative because of the marriage with the Ye family, and there is no benefit at all in her second room if she changes in her life, so she can only hurry to make up for it.
Ye Zhong looked at the mess in front of her, and only felt ridiculous, but since they were all here, she naturally still had to figure out, whether Lin Long was acting properly or not? took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and then said slowly: "Is the son of the pharmacy manager mentioned by Mrs. Lin and me yesterday the doctor surnamed Cao?" Her eyes turned to Cao Zhou's family, and she didn't allow Lin Yu's to be fooled.
She didn't believe it yesterday, but now she has to ask clearly.
Lin Yu's forgot about this stubble for a while, and if he shouted out in a hurry and anger yesterday, how can he get past it now? Her face was a little ugly, if she really hurt her daughter and couldn't get out of prison and her little daughter couldn't get married, she was really doing a crime, and she couldn't help but look at Lin Bai's.
Lin Bai was also stunned, he had not confessed on this issue before, how could he be so round now?
Lin Long, who had been listening to the corner outside the door for a while, saw this situation, it seemed that he still had to clean up, so he deliberately put the footsteps down, and the voice sounded crisply, "Go in and pass a ...... to Mrs. Hou."
"Miss Lin, come in directly." Ye Zhongshi knew that she deliberately said it so loudly, just to let herself know that she was coming, and she would listen to what she said, if she was really not a decent person, even if it was her own life-saving benefactor, she couldn't let her son marry her.
On this point, she considered herself to be fair, even though she was given a chance to argue.
Lin Long walked in with the help of the maid, and was about to bow to Ye Zhong's knees.
Ye Zhongshi smiled: "It doesn't work, your injury hasn't healed yet, why did you come over?" ”
"Mrs. Xie Hou cares, if she doesn't get up and walk around in bed for a few days, her bones will be crispy." Lin Long also smiled politely.
After Ye Zhong's concern for her, he naturally wanted to get down to business, "Miss Lin, this Mrs. Cao said that you know her son, but is there such a thing?" ”
Lin Long turned his head to look at Cao Zhou's and smiled, "Naturally, I know." Seeing the smile on Ye Zhong's face, she didn't see it, and said with a straight face; Mrs. Hou also knows, my brother is weak, and he has always been treated by Mrs. Cao's son before, how can the little girl not know him? Speaking of which, I really thank Dr. Cao, otherwise I'm afraid that the little girl's younger brother would have died a long time ago. After finishing speaking, he smiled gratefully at Cao Zhou.
Lin Dong's health is not good, Ye Zhong knows it, she is also distressed when she sees the thin body bones, and she also asked him what medicine he takes and what medicine it is, and she is thinking that after Lin Long and his son get married, find a royal doctor to take a good look and cure the disease completely.
Cao Zhoushi listened to Lin Long's words, and hurriedly beat the snake with the stick, "Mrs. Hou, listen, I don't have half a lie, she and my son have already made a private contract for life......"
"Mrs. Cao, what did you say?" Lin Long suddenly raised his eyebrows and snorted, "I am doing right, why do you need to ruin my reputation?" ”
"How dare you say that?" Cao Zhou also said politely, "My son has dived for you......"
"What diving Mingzhi?" Lin Long snorted coldly, "If you spread false words, you also believe it as a mother?" You were also present at the time, and it was clear that Dr. Cao had fallen into the water by himself, and now it was on me, Mrs. Cao, you are so unreasonable. ”
"Yes, what does this have to do with our sister Long?" Lin Bai immediately found the words to interject, "I haven't pursued you for ruining our girl's reputation?" ”
"That Geng post ......" Cao Zhou still wanted to talk about Geng post.
Lin Long's face was even colder, "I don't know where you got it to frame me, Mrs. Cao, you have to slander my reputation, why do you say that one daughter does not marry two husbands, you can tell me, do I have a dowry from your family or a token, or go to the official office to set up a marriage letter?" But if you bring one out, I will accept your word. ”
Ye Zhong's also looked at Cao Zhou's with two eyes, just a Geng post can't be accurate, Lin Long's words are reasonable, there must be a certificate for a real engagement, even if it is a private engagement?
"This ......" Cao Zhou's family suddenly became difficult, it was a non-existent thing, how could she get any tokens? Finally, I put my heart sideways, "I am left at home......"
"Left at home?" Lin Long grabbed her words, "You have taken this unwarranted Geng post to fill the number, will you forget the more weighty token or marriage letter?" Who believes it? Do you think it's so easy to ruin a woman's reputation? Let's go to the court to make our arguments, otherwise I won't be unjustly killed by you? ”
Speaking of going to the court, Cao Zhou and Lin Yu were panicked, they didn't expect Lin Long to say this, as soon as they went to the court, their lies were untenable.
"Sister Long, don't you want this, right?" Lin Yu was a little weak-hearted.
"Third aunt, am I going to let people talk nonsense?" Lin Long's eyes turned red at the right time, "It's obviously all unwarranted things, a woman whose reputation has been damaged has no other way but to die, and our Lin family is also an innocent heirloom, how can people be so slandered?" ”
Ye Zhong also frowned, it would be ugly to go to the court if he really made trouble, looking at Lin Long like that, but he was not afraid of the shadow, and his heart was already biased, so he slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Bold, slandering the reputation of a good girl is not a trivial matter, you have to think about it?" Otherwise, going to jail is a trivial matter. ”
