Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Oath

Lin Guangcheng was obviously stunned by Lin Yuan's words, and his first reaction turned from incomprehension to bitterness in his eyes.

"Yuanyuan, I know you've been wronged this time, but ......," he said softly with both sighs and whispers.

This sound made Lin Yuan jump up like a fried cat.

"Father, how can you? We almost died, how could I swallow my anger? Why? What do you mean by that? Lin Yuan screamed, and her excited voice was out of tune.

Lin Guangcheng stared at the strange and familiar daughter in front of him with round eyes as if stunned. Before the death of his ex-wife Wang Honggu, his daughter was such a character, she always refused to compromise with the old lady, and every time she was wronged, she would complain in front of him, and then Wang Honggu died, and her daughter's temperament became quiet and well-behaved, and he also sighed that her daughter had grown up sensible.

He looked at his daughter's little face flushed with anger, as well as the endless grievances in his eyes, and he was stunned for a while, and the face of his daughter in front of him seemed to be blurred.

And Lin Yuan looked at the entanglement, self-blame, and powerlessness on Lin Guangcheng's face...... There was a trace of guilt in her heart, she knew that Lin Guangcheng was filial, and she knew that she would embarrass the other party by doing so.

But she couldn't bear it!

"If it weren't for the wooden box that day, if it wasn't for the heavy rain that day, if it weren't for the king's head, Wang Qing, Fang Ping, and Mama Qiao that day, I'm afraid that all of us would sleep in the river even if we weren't burned to death! Not to mention the other people on the ship who did not escape and died, who should pay for those lives? Lin Yuan stood up and complained more and more excitedly, "Father, you say, who should be responsible for this?" You? Or me? ”

"None of us can be held responsible! So I will never hand over Mrs. Feng to you! ”

This sound seemed to be taking an oath, and Lin Yuan roared with all his strength.

Lin Guangcheng was shocked, staring at Lin Yuan for a long time and couldn't speak, and after a while, his shoulders collapsed. The guilt of Lin Yuan and the filial piety to the old lady made him in a dilemma. He was angry from the bottom of his heart at what the old lady had done, but he couldn't even open his mouth to accuse the other party. Just as Lin Yuan thought, if Mrs. Feng was brought back to the mansion, then he would definitely be full of anger on Mrs. Feng, and he would not say even a word to the old lady.

But......

"What do you want your grandmother to do?" Lin Guangcheng opened his mouth tiredly.

Lin Yuan replied without thinking about it, "Apologize, apologize to us, compensate the families of the crew members who lost their lives on the ship, and she must swear that she will not harm me in the future." These requirements were already thought of by Lin Yuan along the way. No matter how much she has, even if she holds Mrs. Feng in her hand, even if Lin Guangcheng is facing her, she can't reach it.

Lin Guangcheng breathed a sigh of relief, didn't say yes or good, just nodded lightly.

Lin Yuan knew that this time it hurt Lin Guangcheng's heart, but since the old lady made a black hand, she couldn't retreat.

"I want to write a letter to my grandparents, after all, after such a delay, they will definitely be worried." Seeing Lin Guangcheng nodding, Lin Yuan stopped pestering.

Lin Guangcheng seemed a little excited, but when Lin Yuan mentioned the Wang family, he replied with some guilt, "I should write a letter, and I should also make amends." ”

Listening to the conversation between Lin Yuan's father and daughter, the Xianghe people, who were frightened by Lin Yuan's loud voice from time to time, fell to the ground at this time.

It's just that after Lin Guangcheng's words fell, the father and daughter had nothing to say, and both of them had mixed thoughts.

"Rest well, these days...... Forget it, get some rest, your grandmother, I'll tell you. Lin Guangcheng got up, and as he spoke, he raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the house.

Lin Yuan, as before, bent over and sent Lin Guangcheng away.

In the Ci'an Courtyard, the old lady heard the little maid say that the Zhu family was coming, she looked at it and saw that it was still early outside, so she muttered, "It's not time for dinner yet, what is she doing here?" ”

Mama Li smiled and accosted, "Do you have any problems to ask you for, don't you have to call the shots in the house?" ”

"That's just as well." The old lady smiled, "Call the third lady in." ”

Zhu entered the house with a smile on his face, and said, "Mother, the four girls are back." ”

"What?!" The old lady looked startled, and with a tremble in her hand, she knocked the tea bowl in her hand to the ground.

Zhu sneered in his heart, but he still smiled on his face, "It's that the little guy in the porter saw that there were only two maids and an older daughter-in-law around the four girls, so he couldn't tell if it was the four girls, so he didn't let anyone in, mother, should we go and take a look?" If it's a four girl, it's not good to turn her away. ”

"Huh? Ah, I haven't entered the house yet. The old lady rolled her eyes and blurted out, "Yuying, go and take a look, don't be a wild girl I heard that our four girls haven't come back yet, so they want to sneak into the mansion." ”

Mama Li was also horrified, and nodded busily, "Yes, if the fourth miss comes back, the person sent by the second master to the dock will definitely receive it a long time ago, how can I ask the fourth miss to wait outside the door." The old lady is relieved, and the old slave will go and send people away. After speaking, she glanced at the old lady, whether it was or not, before the second master knew, she would directly send people far away, and she was afraid that her little girl would come back by herself?

The old lady understood, but her mind changed, and her eyes were fierce, "If it is fake, you will directly tie up the person and send it to the official, and if you want to pretend that the fourth girl has bad intentions, it is not an exaggeration to kill her!" "If it's not okay, just send the person away, if it's the demon, then don't do anything and tie it up directly! She didn't believe it, the demon escaped once, and she could escape a second time!

Mama Li's heart trembled, it was one thing to ask Mrs. Feng's mother and son to harm Lin Yuan, but it was another thing to do it herself. For a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

The old lady noticed it with sharp eyes, and immediately scolded, "Why don't you go quickly?" Don't let people ruin the reputation of the Lin Mansion! Due to Zhu's presence, she had to say vaguely, "Don't bother, didn't you say that you would bring your youngest son into the mansion and let me take a look?" ”

Hearing this, Mama Li remembered the errand that the old lady promised her little son, and suddenly became ruthless, gritted her teeth and said, "The old lady is relieved, the old slave will go." ”

Zhu looked at it coldly from the side, sneering in his heart, after delaying for so long, I am afraid that Lin Yuan would have entered the mansion a long time ago.

"Mother, since you let Mama Li go, your daughter-in-law won't go, and it's time to prepare dinner." Zhu said quite understandingly.

The old lady bowed, "Go ahead, add vegetables tonight." ”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law is leaving." It's time to add vegetables, the four girls came back safe and sound, don't you want to add vegetables?

The Zhu family left, and only the old lady and Cuiyun were left in the house. Cuiyun hung her head as if she wasn't in the house, and the old lady frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

But I suddenly heard the sound of jade outside.

"Ah, the second master is you. What are you doing here? Did you come to greet the old lady? The third lady has just left, and the slave will go in and say goodbye? ”
