Chapter 4 What Are You Hesitating About?

What to know? Feng Lin was suspicious in his heart, he couldn't think of any handle in Lin Yue's hands, he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed, and followed Lin Miao into the room next to the hall.

This is Lin Yue's room, the room is very small, a bed, a cabinet, a dressing table, a chair, and nothing else.

Lin Miao closed the door, moved the chair over, and motioned for Feng Lin to sit down.

Feng Lin was not polite, sat down on the chair, and said, "What are you talking to me about?" If you ask for a hundred taels of silver, it's impossible, don't dream. ”

Lin Miao looked at her, her brain was working fast, she wanted to find a gap to persuade Feng Lin, it was not easy, thinking of the gray-clothed man that Zhang Qingqing said, and then thinking of Feng Xiuwen's attitude, she decided to take a gamble, and pretended to be mysterious: "Do you know why I was by the river yesterday?" Because I made an appointment to meet your son, you must have been to the dam as well, and it is usually rarely passed by, so who do you think will push me down the river? Is it possible that it was your son who pushed me, or someone hired by your son? ”

Feng Lin's heart was shocked, she knew that Xiu'er had wanted to withdraw from her relatives for a long time, but she was pressed by his father, and finally waited for his father to leave, and the family affair had been decided for almost ten years, and if she quit her relatives for no reason, she would be poked in the backbone.

Thinking of the strange expression on Xiu'er's face when she came back yesterday, a trace of doubt quickly flashed in her eyes, could it really be that the person was pushed by her son?

Although it was fast, Lin Miao still caught the strangeness in Feng Lin's eyes, and there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment in her heart, if it was Lin Yue pushed by Feng Xiuwen, it would be too reasonable, after all, she, an outsider, could see that the Feng family was dissatisfied with Lin Yue and even the entire Lin family.

If Lin Yue is killed, then the marriage will end naturally, and it seems that the later Master Liu may have been arranged by the Feng family, otherwise how could he have been stuck so coincidentally. Just after she was rescued, Master Liu came to the door, saying that he heard that she had an accident and was worried about her, and he didn't have any awareness of the third party.

With this level of cognition, Lin Miao's heart of asking for one hundred taels was strengthened, and this one hundred taels should be regarded as compensation for Lin Yue's falling into the water.

Even if you can't recognize it! This was the conclusion that Feng Lin came to after some thought, her eyes sank, and she said, "Who believes empty words?" Who saw my son push you down the river? ”

"After reporting to the official, and then gathering the villagers together for interrogation, there are always one or two who accidentally pass by the river and see it, such as Lu Feng, who rescued me, he must have been nearby at the time."

Feng Lin's heart jumped twice suddenly, and he was in a hurry: "You have a skin-to-skin relationship with him." It's also possible that he will help you make a false confession. ”

"But it's not just him who sees it, do you want to gamble? If you lose, you're nothing. ”

Feng Lin snorted and turned his head to look away: "Even if I pushed you, you are not dead, at most you will pay a tael of silver to let you buy a few chickens to make up for it."

"If you are an ordinary person and you are accidentally pushed by your son, it is indeed very generous to pay a tael of silver. However, I am not an ordinary person, I am his fiancée, and he pushing me is murder, and the meaning is different. ”

"Besides, what kind of Master Liu are you looking for to frame my innocence, this is about a woman's life, if you put it in a high-ranking family with a strict family style, I can't say that I will be sent to the family temple to become a monk."

Hearing this, Feng Lin immediately thought of her son's angry expression when he heard that Lin Yue's friend came to the door, she was very sure that it would not be the person her son was looking for, so she hurriedly said: "Don't you want to slander our Feng family, that person is not your good look, maybe now, you want to wash it away with your words, it's too naïve."

Lin Miao was a little surprised in her heart, just now she thought it was a matter of nine out of ten, how could she hear the meaning of Feng Lin's words that the person was not looking for their mother and son? So how did he come here? Or is she playing tricks?

After a turn of thoughts, she said calmly: "Except for the year when I went to the county seat, I spent the rest of my time in the village, and occasionally I went to the town with my family, and it was impossible to see others." And that old man, he is an outsider who goes in and out of the village, and no one notices? ”

"Besides, don't you think your son is as good as an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in his thirties? Not to mention rich, you have a lot of money in your family, and your son is still a showman, I just wouldn't be stupid to let such a fiancé hook up with others, right? ”

"Who knows if you're shit and confused." Feng Lin muttered quietly.

"Okay, this topic is revealed, and then your son pushed me down the river yesterday, although I didn't die, but the intention to murder is obvious, your family spent more than one hundred taels to get out of the family, and you can keep your son, don't you think it's worth it?"

Feng Lin's eyes were fixed in one place, his thoughts diverged, she knew how much Xiu'er hated Lin Yue, she took a hundred taels and retreated, she could accept it for Xiu'er, but if she took the silver to Lin Yue, it would prove that they were at a loss, and it was equivalent to admitting that Xiu'er pushed Lin Yue down the river, and if it was turned out in the future, it would be endless.

Lin Miao saw the struggle in her eyes, and could roughly guess why she was struggling, and hurriedly said: "With this hundred taels, my father is saved, and my dowry money is also available, I will definitely not look for your son again, even if I want to, I can't find it."

"Your son will go to the county seat to study in the spring, and he can participate in the autumn exam in the fall, if it goes well, he may be appointed to an official position if he is admitted to the examination, you should also know that most of the officials in the court are left by the previous dynasty, although Your Majesty said that the descendant does not kill the official position, but can there be no pimples in his heart?"

"Can Your Majesty be trusted by those who forget righteousness for the sake of profit? He definitely can't believe it, but the words have already been spoken, and it is inconvenient for him to make a move, so he can only supplement new officials, and then train them to become henchmen to compete with each other. ”

"This is an opportunity to become His Majesty's confidant, what are you waiting for? Also, I heard that Your Majesty has many princesses to marry, why didn't Your Majesty give them marriages? I think it must be the imperial examination waiting for this session. ”

This was written down when Lin Yue listened to the discussion of the Zhang family's cousin's classmates when she was in the county seat.

Feng Lin's words made Feng Lin very moved, she couldn't help but fantasize that her son was still a princess, a luxurious compound, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and a group of servants, not to mention a hundred taels, she would not pay attention to one thousand taels or eleven thousand taels.

Lin Miao carefully observed Feng Lin's expression, and saw the light and shadow in her eyes flickering and felt that it was time, so she hurriedly said: "If you don't deal with the issue of the marriage contract now, no matter how good your son is, it's useless, don't forget, Your Majesty is the person who hates profit and forgets righteousness the most."

Feng Lin thought about it after hearing this, and felt that what Lin Miao said was very reasonable, nodded secretly, and said: "Twenty taels, no more, you have a bad reputation now, and my son is a showman, as long as I am willing to work hard, this marriage will be able to withdraw sooner or later."
