Chapter XXII: Disposition
Fifty rods? It's going to kill you!
"My lord spares his life! Spare your life! Chunqing's face turned pale and screamed.
Lin Yunchang ignored her and was about to leave.
"My lord spares his life!" At this moment, Chunqing's old son and mother learned about it out of nowhere, and hurriedly ran to kneel down in front of Lin Yunchang to intercede for Chunqing.
They kept kowtowing, begging Lin Yunchang one by one to let Chunqing go for the sake of them having served the Lin family for so many years.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyue also stepped forward to persuade: "Dad, although Chunqing did make an unforgivable mistake this time, after all, she has served Baosheng for so many years, and Baosheng was sick in the past, and she took care of her undressed, and the merits and demerits are compensated, this time, let her go!" ”
After all, Chunqing grew up under the watchful eyes of Lin Qingyue, and she was loyal to Lin Baosheng in the past, but now looking at her colorless appearance, she can't help but feel a little unbearable.
"You're just too soft-hearted!" Lin Yunchang hated that iron could not become steel, "She is now in the water because of her own selfish desires, if she doesn't teach her a lesson, she will do it again in the future, and when the time comes, Baosheng will not have such good luck!" ”
Lin Qingyue's face turned pale, and she also had palpitations when she thought of Lin Baosheng being unconscious a few days ago.
Seeing this, Chunqing's mother knew that there was still room for things to turn around, so she hurriedly stood up and said loyally: "Master! The old slave knows that Chunqing has made an unforgivable mistake this time, so I don't ask you to let Chunqing go, I just ask you to spare her life! She is still young, and if she continues to fight these fifty boards, she will definitely not survive! Master, for the sake of the old slave's dedication to the Lin family for so many years, please spare the little girl's life! ”
Lin Yunchang stiffened his face and did not speak.
Lin Qingyue thought of something, and hurriedly leaned into Lin Yunchang's ear and whispered, "Dad, my daughter knows that you are angry, but no matter how you say it, this is also a human life, and now the relationship between our Lin family and Hu County Ling is so stiff, if Chunqing is accidentally killed, isn't this equivalent to sending a handle to Hu County Order?" Didn't Ding Xiancheng tell you, it's best for us to keep a low profile lately. ”
Lin Yunchang's expression changed, and he also understood what Lin Qingyue meant.
The current law of the Great Zhou State is that lynching cannot be used against subordinates, and if a subordinate is killed, if the defendant is sent to the government, he will also be sentenced, but there is no shortage of rumors of killing subordinates in the Gaomen clan, and the people in the yamen just turn a blind eye after knowing it, after all, compared to the lowest minions, they obviously attach more importance to the rich and powerful family, and dare not offend easily.
But now that the Lin family and Hu Xianling are in a stalemate, the matter of killing the slave is not just a private matter of the Lin family, if it is spread by someone with a heart, it is likely to be public.
The Lin family can't take risks at this time.
Lin Yunchang had to recognize the facts, and he had to show mercy to Chunqing's subordinates.
So in the end, he didn't scold Chunqing, nor did he sell her, but transferred her to the outer courtyard as the lowest rough maid, and she was not allowed to enter the inner courtyard for life, so that she could taste the taste of being humiliated and scolded by a higher maid mother-in-law, which was also the most severe punishment for a maid like Chunqing.
As for the other maids, because Lin Baosheng still needs someone to take care of him, Lin Yunchang didn't move for the time being, and only left after a stern reprimand.
This matter, even if it is in the past.
Lin Zhen really visited Lin Baosheng in the main house of the Treasure Pavilion.
She reached out and touched Lin Baosheng's forehead with her fat and tender little hand.
It's still a little hot.
She frowned, "Brother, you're too confused, I just told you to pretend to be sick, and you really made yourself sick." ”
The idea of falling into the water was her idea, but she didn't really let him fall into the water, she clearly asked Xiao Wuzi to prepare hot water for him to pour on him, and then immediately hugged back to the Treasure Pavilion, such a distance, he shouldn't get sick.
Lin Baosheng stuck out his tongue, because of his illness, his voice was still a little buzzing, and he said: "I'm afraid that I don't pretend to be like enough, and it will be bad if I am found out when the time comes." So I asked Xiao Wuzi to change the hot water to cold water, and sure enough, I had a fever. ”
"Brother, you still say." Lin Zhenzhen glared at him speechlessly, "As long as you fall into the water, whether there is anything or not, Chunqing will not have a chance to take care of you again, so our goal has been achieved, why do you need to do this again?" ”
"I, I'm afraid that if I don't get sick, Chunqing will only be scolded by her mother as before." Lin Baosheng explained to himself in a whisper.
In fact, what he really thought in his heart was that his sister had a typhoid fever and became smart and powerful after waking up, and he also wanted to see if he could become smarter after typhoid fever recovered.
But now, it doesn't seem to be of much use......
Could it be because the medicine Gillian takes is different from his?
Lin Baosheng was thinking about things stupidly, and suddenly heard Lin Zhenzhen say: "But I'm afraid that brother, you are so sick, Chunqing will be punished more severely than we expected, this is not our original intention." ”
Although she doesn't like Chunqing's way of behaving in the world, she has no grievances with Chunqing, but she doesn't want people like her to stay by Lin Baosheng's side, instead of really wanting to deal with her and see her unlucky, so she originally just let Lin Baosheng pretend to be overboard, who would have thought that he would stupidly make himself seriously ill.
When Lin Baosheng heard this, he felt scared, "No, it won't, right?" That...... Will she die then? ”
He had been asleep for the past few days, and in a daze, he only knew that his grandfather and mother had been watching over him, and it was not until he woke up today that his grandfather began to deal with the matter.
He was very angry when he saw his grandfather's appearance, he wouldn't really want to beat Chunqing to death, right?
Lin Zhenzhen shook his head, "It's not enough to die, no matter what, this is also a human life, even if my grandfather is angry, he will not lose his mind, and she is the son of a family, someone will definitely intercede for her, I hope my grandfather can show mercy!" ”
"I don't want Sister Chunqing to die." Lin Baosheng suddenly burst into tears, he hated Chunqing very much, yes, but he didn't want her to die. It seems that he is really stupid, not only can't help his sister, but also drags her back.
Lin Zhenzhen sighed, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Baosheng's hand and comforted: "It's okay, she won't die, I'll go out and have a look." ”
After she finished speaking, she was about to get up, and Lin Qingyue entered the house.
"Mother!" Lin Zhenzhen hurriedly stepped forward and couldn't wait to say, "What's going on outside?" Have you caught the bad guy who pushed my brother into the water? ”
Lin Qingyue bent down to pick her up, and said as she walked forward: "Don't talk nonsense, my brother was not pushed into the water, but the subordinates didn't take good care of him, and my brother accidentally fell into the water." ”
