Chapter 312: Follow-up
Lin Zhu sat in his own room in the new house in the capital, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Although the matter in the Lin Mansion has passed, some people's attitude towards themselves seems to be worth scrutinizing, especially the old man Lin, who looked at him with very complicated eyes, and some indescribable emotions in it.
This made Lin Zhu very puzzled at the time, but she still suppressed this doubt in her heart and did not show it.
The matter in Lin Yuewei's yard quickly reached the ears of Old Man Lin, although in front of Lin Zhu, Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin did not indicate how they would teach Lin Qingxue and the others a lesson, after all, this is someone's housework, and Lin Zhu is not interested in knowing the Tao, of course, she doesn't want to see how people handle housework, so she asked to leave.
The Lin family had been looking forward to Lin Zhu leaving, and it happened that she proposed it herself, so she agreed to her request. Mrs. Lin ordered someone to send a lot of good things to Lin Zhu, which can be regarded as an apology or hush money. Lin Zhu was not polite, and accepted them all.
Seeing that she was so clear, the Lin family also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Zhao's mother, who is responsible for taking care of Lin Yuewei, is not so lucky. Not only was she reprimanded for leaving her post without permission, but what made Old Man Lin even more angry was that she was willing to deduct Lin Yuewei's share privately. also gave some important things to Lin Yuewei for use, and the carbon that Lin Zhu saw was one of them.
Zhao's mother covered the sky in Lin Yuewei's yard with one hand, not only replacing the good white carbon with inferior black carbon, but also greedy a lot of Lin Yuewei's monthly silver. Some good things, such as sea cucumber bird's nest appreciated by the elders. There were also gold and silver bills and the like, and a lot of them were also found in her house.
When she saw these things, the third lady Zhao's face darkened, although she knew that Zhao's mother's hands and feet were a little unclean, but she didn't expect her to reach out to her son, and the most important thing is that she was the one brought by the Zhao family from her mother's family, she made a mistake, and the elders of the Lin family would naturally settle the account on the Zhao family.
So Zhao's mother's fate was very bad, even if she cried and begged Zhao for mercy, it would be useless.
The Zhao family is already unable to protect itself. Under the pressure of Old Man Lin and Old Madam Lin. She couldn't even say the words of sending Zhao's mother back to her parents' house, because she knew that once she opened her mouth like this, it was estimated that she should return to Zhao's house.
Thereupon. The Zhao family, who lost face together, also secretly hated Zhao's mother for letting her lose such a big person. ordered her to be sent to justice. But since it was the Lin Mansion who came forward. It is estimated that Zhao's mother will not be able to see the sun in the future.
disposed of Mother Zhao, and the anger of Old Man Lin and Old Madam Lin was also half out, but as the young ladies of the Lin family. Unexpectedly, they didn't distinguish between right and wrong, and they lost face in front of outsiders, and Mrs. Lin made up her mind to discipline them.
Lin Qingxue bore the brunt of the crime, and was punished for being confined to her yard for three months and not allowed to go out, halving the monthly rule, and copying the women's training 3,000 times. Lin Qingping was fined and grounded for two months, halved the monthly case, and copied the women's training 2,000 times.
In addition to Lin Qinglan, the other Lin family ladies were also grounded for ten days as a warning.
Although they had their own grievances in their hearts, they couldn't refute the joint decision of Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin.
The Yang family, who wanted to intercede for his daughter, was frightened back by Mrs. Lin's eyes before he opened his mouth.
The Zhao family didn't dare to come forward at this time, she just wanted to stand in an unobtrusive place, hoping that Old Madam Lin would forget her existence, after all, in this matter, she not only made a reckless move, but also made mistakes such as laxity and negligence.
After announcing the punishment of several young ladies of the Lin family, there was naturally Lin Qinglan's reward, and all kinds of supplements were sent to her yard, and Mrs. Lin also took out a necklace of Dongzhu from her private room as a reward for her knowledge.
Until she was about to leave Lin Yuewei's courtyard, Old Madam Lin didn't say how to deal with the third lady Zhao, which made her feel a little lucky.
But when Mrs. Lin walked back after finishing speaking, she just walked out of the gate of the courtyard and said without looking back, "Recently, the old woman has had a headache, so the third lady doesn't need to come over to say goodbye." ”
This sentence was like a basin of ice water in winter, poured on Zhao's body, and his whole body was cold. She felt that her face was burning badly, the two concubines and juniors in charge, plus many subordinates, Zhao felt that she was so ashamed and indignant that she almost didn't dare to look up to see people.
The second lady Wu didn't have anything, she just felt that the old lady deliberately wanted the third brother and sister to reflect on it.
But Yang had a gloating expression, and looked at Zhao who was standing there with a mocking face, and his heart was very beautiful.
However, she didn't be happy for long, and in the next few days, she felt that Old Madam Lin seemed to be very unkind to see her. After thinking about it carefully, I also knew that the old lady was blaming her goddaughter for having no way. So he took his anger out on Lin Qingping's body again, and doubled the old lady's punishment, which made Lin Qingping really miserable.
When Mrs. Lin, who returned to her room, saw Mr. Lin sitting on a chair drinking tea silently, she sighed slightly.
Old Man Lin waved his hand and dismissed the subordinate, "Do you think I'm making too much of a fuss?" ”
"There must be a last resort reason for this, master." Old Madam Lin was indeed a little uncomfortable in her heart, although it was the punishment she said herself, but it was also because of Old Man Lin's instructions that she did so.
"Ugh." Old Man Lin also sighed. "Lin Zhu, what do you think?"
"It's not a small amount of courage, it must be because of some reliance that he dares to be so presumptuous in the Lin Mansion." Although Mrs. Lin did not have a seizure in front of Lin Zhu, it did not mean that she had no resentment towards Lin Zhu, she just held back.
"Lean?" Old Man Lin smiled bitterly, "She has something to rely on, but today she didn't raise a backer, she is so calm at a young age." ”
"What's wrong with the master?" Mrs. Lin asked without explanation, she always felt that Old Man Lin seemed to have something to say.
"If Lin Zhu is your own granddaughter, what will she do today?" Old Man Lin made an assumption.
"Master, don't be joking, no matter how bad the Lin family is, it's not something that a country girl like her can climb, but she just coaxed the young Xiaoqi, does she really want to have her surname related to the Lin family?" Old Madam Lin said disgustedly. She was afraid that Old Man Lin would also be hot-headed, and accept Lin Zhu as a godgranddaughter or something.
Seeing his wife's attitude, Old Man Lin wanted to tell her Lin Zhu's life experience, but he felt that it was not appropriate. Mrs. Lin didn't like the child of the Wang family very much.
Therefore, they will quickly reach a consensus with the Wang family and let them reconcile and separate. Now it doesn't seem that Lin Zhu likes it very much, if she tells Mrs. Lin about her life experience, she doesn't believe it, and it is estimated that her attitude towards Lin Zhu will be worse.
Old Man Lin wanted to make up for his debt to Lin Zhu, and he didn't want her to be wronged in the Lin Mansion, so he dispelled the idea of telling Old Madam Lin. "Don't worry, it won't." Old Man Lin comforted Mrs. Lin, and then went out with his hands behind his back, but there was a slight hunched back, looking a little lost and helpless.
Old Madam Lin didn't think about the meaning of Old Man Lin's words, although she didn't want to be angry with Lin Zhu, but when she thought of the mess at home, she felt unwilling. In desperation, I had to strictly discipline all the juniors in the family. I invited several well-known nurturing mothers to discipline the girls in the family collectively.
And Lin Yuewei, who was at the center of the incident, was unhappy for several days because he woke up and didn't see Lin Zhu. Of course, people didn't dare to tell him what happened at home, and the personal mother who replaced Zhao's mother was Lin Yuewei's nurse when he was a child, and under her comfort, Lin Yuewei did not show his miss for Lin Zhu in front of Mrs. Lin. It did not cause Mrs. Lin to be unhappy.
Lin Qinglan's arm has also improved after being healed by the doctor. On this day, she went to her mother's room with the help of the maid.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say that you should recuperate in the house? When Wu saw Lin Qinglan, he said with some disgust.
"Mother, it's been boring for a few days, I'm here to say hello to my mother today, and by the way, I can breathe." Lin Qinglan was a little petite.
"You're right." Wu nodded Lin Qinglan's forehead lovingly, "Is your arm better?" ”
"It's much better, it doesn't hurt much." Lin Qinglan thought of the pain at the beginning, her face turned slightly pale, and she was even more afraid.
"Your third aunt is too careless, and she is too reckless." The Wu family had a lot of complaints in her heart, but now that the Zhao family was disgusted by Old Madam Lin, she was embarrassed to mention it again, so as not to make people think that she had fallen into the ground. However, in front of his daughter, he had fewer scruples, and muttered a few words to dissipate the resentment in his heart.
"Grandmother still doesn't see the third aunt now?" Lin Qinglan was being treated by the doctor at that time, so she didn't see with her own eyes what Old Madam Lin said to the Zhao family, but she only heard about it from the mouths of the people below.
"Hmm." Wu also nodded with some distress. The sister-in-law also seemed to be a little neglected, but she took out part of her resentment on her, and seemed to be very jealous of herself, which also made Wu feel unpleasant.
"Have you been to see them?" Wu changed the subject.
"I've been, but none of them have seen me." Lin Qinglan lowered her head and said.
"That's because they know that they are at fault, and it's good to have this lesson, so that they won't be embarrassed outside in the future." The Wu family also has complaints about Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingping. One does things without thinking, is blindly arrogant, and the other sows discord and ignores right and wrong, and he should also learn some lessons. Otherwise, this kind of thing really happened outside, and the Lin family would not have to become the laughing stock of the capital. (To be continued......)
