Chapter 302: Meet the Old Lady
When Feng rushed to Lin's house, she did see a beggar who was beaten so much that she couldn't even speak on the street, and gave him money to see a doctor, but she didn't think that she had just come out of Lin's house, she only thought that she had met a street bully, so she didn't care until she heard Lin Yunqi tell the old lady and understood that his injury was caused by the Lin family.
This Lin Yunqi is really bad-hearted, not to mention beating people to serious injuries, he will turn his head to slander others and distort the facts.
But in front of Mrs. Lin, she couldn't directly expose Lin Yunqi, so as not to make the old lady's face unbearable, so she pretended to be stupid and said such a sentence.
But what a shrewd person was the old lady? Naturally, she immediately understood her intentions.
It's just that Lin Yunqi also tried to fool her by, and immediately sneered: "Injured beggar? It shouldn't be the same person, right? The one who came to the Lin family to beg was fine when he left! ”
Feng chuckled maniacally, "Really? Maybe I misunderstood. ”
"You ......"
When Lin Yunqi was still about to speak, Old Madam Lin raised her eyes and glared, frowned and said, "Okay, you go back first, and then I'll look for you." ”
"Yes, Yun Qi retired." Lin Yunqi knew that she had been exposed, and it was useless to say more, so it was better to go first and explain after Feng Qingmad, the slut, left.
When she walked away, the old lady softened her expression and said softly: "Recently, Yunshu's girl has been talking about you a lot, if she knew that you were coming, she would be very happy." ”
"I also miss Cousin Yunshu," Feng said with a maniacing smile, "Grandmother's complexion looks quite good, much better than the previous two years, and it seems that she is recuperating well." ”
The old lady bowed her head and said: "In the past two years, my body has indeed improved a lot, mainly because there is no sadness, and with your mother often coming to accompany me, I am in a good mood, and my illness will be better." ”
"How else do you want to keep a good mood?" Feng Qing rolled his eyes and asked, "Speaking of my mother, I don't know how good she has been in the past two years?" ”
"Liuyun Palace?" Feng Qingfang made a somewhat surprised look, thought about it deliberately, and said: "Liuyun Palace is a gang of rivers and lakes, and the palace master seems to be Mencius Yan, right?" ”
The old lady was very surprised: "You know? ”
"I have had dealings with some sects in the rivers and lakes in the past few years, and I have done some investigations," Feng Qingyun said lightly, "Besides, during the time I stayed in Lanzhou, I had two fights with Mencius, and I don't know if I want to." ”
"Ever fought it? What does that mean? The old lady's face gradually changed, "Could it be that he once did something to you?" ”
Feng Qing was surprised: "Didn't my mother mention it to you?" At that time, in order to prevent me from meeting my mother, Mencius Yan had twice brought people to kill me, and if it wasn't for my life, I would have been buried at the bottom of the lake. ”
"When I started the next time, it happened that Cousin Yunshu was also there, and I almost involved her, at that time I didn't know that the person who was going to kill me was Mencius Yan, and I thought it was a person who had sinned in the capital before, so I didn't dare to tell my grandmother, for fear that you would worry."
"How can it be!" The old lady slapped the table angrily, and the green tendons on her forehead popped up, "This Mencius is strict, it's just a matter of kidnapping my daughter, and he dares to kill my granddaughter, it's really hateful!" ”
Due to the great lesson she had learned in the past ten years, the old lady no longer stopped Lin Yitang from being with Mencius, and only wanted her daughter to be happy, but this did not mean that she had changed her opinion of Mencius.
In fact, to be precise, she looks down on this person even more, because he is now a person in the underworld, and it is better to be a businessman like before.
"Your mother too, she doesn't tell me about such a big thing, and she is tired of being with someone who almost killed her daughter every day, how did she become a mother?"
Feng Qingfang hurriedly got up and patted the old lady on the back: "Grandmother, don't be angry, in fact, it is difficult for the mother to be caught in the middle, on one side is the daughter, and on the other side is the ...... Lover, it's really not a good choice. ”
Hearing this, the old lady patted the back of her hand and said lovingly: "You girl is too considerate of others." ”
Feng chuckled maniacally and said nothing.
She mentioned Mencius Yan just now, of course, on purpose, but the purpose was not to separate the relationship between the old lady and Lin Yitang, but to deepen the old lady's dislike of Mencius Yan and persuade Lin Yitang to leave Liuyun Palace in the future.
"By the way, when will my mother come? Since I'm here, I should meet her. ”
"It's easy, I'll let someone send a message to your mother and ask her to come over at night." The old lady told the maid to bring pen and paper, and then wrote a few sentences, tied the letter, and released the carrier pigeon.
"You must be very tired all the way here, right? Why don't you go to your room and rest first, and then come to eat with me when it's lunchtime? ”
In order to rush to the Lin family as soon as possible, Feng Qingyan was in a hurry all night last night, and now he was really tired, so he went to the guest room to rest according to the old lady's wishes.
Not long after she left, Lin Yunqi hurried over.
"Grandmother, my cousin didn't come to Lanzhou this time to visit you and your aunt, but for other reasons!"
The old lady was still angry about the beggar's affairs, so her face was not very kind, and she glanced at her and asked, "What is the other plan?" What are you going to say again? ”
Lin Yunqi said anxiously: "I'm not trying to discredit my cousin, but there is really a problem with her intentions!" ”
"You don't know yet, do you? That Dingguo Gong, that is, his cousin's father, has been put in prison! ”
"What? When was this? "The old lady stays in the mansion all day long, and even the courtyard door rarely goes out, and any news from the outside world that is not related to the Lin family will not pay attention to it, so I haven't heard of Feng Heng's imprisonment.
"It must have happened more than half a month ago."
"For what crime did you go to jail?"
Lin Yunqi lowered her voice and said: "Some people have accused Dingguo Gong of killing his wife, and there are several witnesses. ”
The old lady frowned and said, "Isn't this purely a false accusation?" Your aunt is still alive and well, where did you get the talk of killing your wife? ”
"Of course we know, but others don't know, there are no one else in this world who knows that my aunt is still alive except for a few of us in the Lin family, but there are four or five people who can testify that Dingguo Gong killed his wife, and of course Jingzhao Mansion has to arrest people."
Lin Yunqi secretly glanced at the old lady, saw that her expression was complicated, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she said again: "Cousin, I'm afraid there is no way, so I came to see my aunt in Lanzhou, and I want to ask her to come forward to prove the innocence of Dingguo Gong." ”
"She was right to do that." The old lady bowed her head and said, "Since your aunt is still alive, it is impossible for people to send them to death in vain." ”
"But did grandmother ever think about how much impact it would have on the Lin family if my aunt really went to the capital and disclosed the secret that she was still alive?" Lin Yunqi said with a worried face.
"Once the truth about the fraudulent death is revealed, outsiders will pay attention to the Lin family, and sooner or later the matter of my aunt and Mencius Yan will not be able to be hidden."
"Although there is nothing wrong with my aunt's pursuit of true love, after all, she married Dingguo Gong first, and she eloped with Mencius Yan to put it bluntly, and it is not good to say it, and I am afraid that the century-old reputation of the Lin family will be ruined."
At this point, the old lady didn't expect it before, but after Lin Yunqi reminded her, she realized the consequences.
However, Feng Heng can't be allowed to die unjustly like this, right? Although she has always disliked this son-in-law, no matter what, he has never treated his daughter badly, and he is the father of Feng Yatou, and now Feng Yatou has come all the way to ask for help, if she ignores it, will it hurt her heart?
At this time, Lin Yunqi said again: "Grandmother, I think it's better for you not to let your aunt come to see your cousin, my aunt is soft-hearted, and my cousin is articulate, and she persuaded her a few words, maybe she agreed, we are the Lin family, naturally we have to think about the Lin family in everything, how can we be interested in outsiders?" ”
She dared to speak like this, mainly because after more than ten years of getting along and understanding, she thought that the old lady was a person who valued the interests of the family the most, so for the sake of the Lin family's reputation, no matter how much she loved Feng Qing, she would not agree to her request.
Unfortunately, she miscalculated again.
If in the past, the old lady would indeed put the interests of the family first, but after the loss of her beloved daughter, and more than ten years later, she has changed her mind.
"What you said is not unreasonable, but I don't plan to meddle in this matter, it all depends on your aunt's own choice."
Lin Yunqi was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had misheard.
"Grandmother, aren't you afraid that the Lin family will become a laughing stock in the future? I know you love your cousin, but you can't ignore the entire Lin family for her, right? In the future, Yunshu and I will marry someone, if there is any scandal, where will anyone dare to marry us? And the second brother, whose girl would be willing to marry him? ”
"Now the Lin family has a good reputation, but you are almost twenty years old, you are all an old girl, and I haven't seen you get married, but it is conceivable that whether you marry or not has nothing to do with the reputation of the family."
The old lady stabbed Lin Yunqi's heart mercilessly, which can be described as quite vicious.
"In addition, if you really think about the reputation of the family, you shouldn't beat the beggar who came to beg for food today, the Lin family has always been based on doing good, but whoever comes to ask for help has never been treated badly, you are good, if you give someone ten taels of silver, you will be seriously injured, you really give the Lin family face!"
In fact, ten taels of silver was also made up by Lin Yunqi, the beggar was dirty, she stained the dress she just bought, and she still wanted money? It's merciful not to kill him!
But she couldn't tell her grandmother what she was saying, and she couldn't admit that she had someone beat the beggar.
"Grandmother, I didn't do this, the beggar my cousin saw was not the one who came to the Lin family to beg, didn't you already say it before? Why don't you believe me? ”
The old lady immediately sank her face, pushed away Lin Yunqi's hand, and said sharply: "Don't think I'm so foolish when I'm old!" I used to recuperate in Bezhuang, I rarely returned to the mansion, I saw you very often, I don't know your temperament, now I know you a little bit, what you will do and what you won't do, I know very well. ”
