Before Lin Luoling asked Jiang Feng to send people to find a cave and make an iron cage, she privately mentioned to Chen Yin that she wanted to divorce Zhu Xianzhi.

You have to find a reason to get a divorce.

Lin Luoling thought about it and secretly planned the best solution with Chen Yin.

Hearing what Chen Yin said, Lin Luoling smiled while covering her lips with a handkerchief, and ordered the servant in the front yard not to open the gate no matter how loudly Zhu Xianzhi shouted.

He called the cook and asked her to light the fire and prepare the meal, and told her to use as much of the ingredients in the small kitchen as possible.

The cook agreed and walked into the small kitchen. She was dumbfounded when she saw so many ingredients. She would have to make at least thirty or fifty dishes.

Lin Luoling and Chen Yin walked into the house arm in arm.

Chen Yin laughed and said, "It seems that Sister Ling'er has decided to leave Yongning Marquis' Mansion today? She doesn't even want to leave the food behind."

"Those ingredients are cheap, but even if I feed them to a dog, the dog will still wag its tail at me. But if I feed them to those ruthless people, they won't think anything good of me, and will think I'm stupid instead."

After saying that, Lin Luoling opened the boxes that she brought as a dowry, picked out some fairly good silver jewelry and usable silk fabrics, and placed them in a separate box.

Chen Yin asked: "Are you still planning to take these items away?"

Lin Luoling replied, "Pick out the good ones and leave them to Zhou Jiaoling. As for the worthless ones, ask Biyou and Bizhi to get a copper basin to burn them. I can't take these boxes with me when I return to the Lin Mansion.

Before Zhu Xianzhi and I divorced, they would definitely come to Shuxi Pavilion to rummage through the boxes and take things. Since they can’t take them away, it’s better to deal with them in advance.”

Lin Luoling suddenly sneered, "Zhu Xianzhi is thinking about it, and so are Marquis Yongning and his wife. The list I made is full of extremely precious jewelry, hairpins, gold and silver ingots, and brocade skirts. They can't find them, so they can only suspect that the other party has stolen them."

Chen Yin laughed loudly and said, "I really want to see their expressions when they open the empty boxes. It must be very exciting."

Lin Luoling covered her mouth and smiled, packed up half a box of things, and asked Biyou to see if Zhu Xianzhi had left. If Zhu Xianzhi had left, she would ask Biyou to go to Lanxiangyuan to find Zhou Jiaoling to come to Shuxi Pavilion, and tell Zhou Jiaoling to bring a few capable maids with her.

Biyou walked to the front yard, climbed over the wall, and found that Zhu Xianzhi had left, so she went to Lanxiangyuan.

Not long after, Biyou and Zhou Jiaoling came to Shuxi Pavilion with six or seven maids.

Lin Luoling welcomed Zhou Jiaoling into the main room and said to her, "This half box of silver jewelry is for Aunt Zhou. You can wear it in the future or sell it for other things. Now that you are in charge of the West Courtyard, you have many places to spend silver."

Zhou Jiaoling frowned when she heard this and blurted out, "From what the Second Young Madam said, are you planning to leave the Yongning Marquis' Mansion?"

Lin Luoling nodded and said, "Although Aunt Zhou and I have known each other for a long time, we still have some friendship. Since you treat me sincerely, I don't want to hide it from you. I will leave the Yongning Marquis' Mansion tonight and divorce Zhu Xianzhi afterwards. If Aunt Zhou has any problems in the future, you can come to the Lin Mansion to find me at any time."

As she spoke, Lin Luoling pretended to choke up in her throat and forced the corners of her mouth to smile awkwardly. It was obvious that she was reluctant to part with Aunt Zhou. She walked to the couch, took out a purse from under the pillow and put it in Zhou Jiaoling's hand.

"Mrs. Zhou, here are twenty taels of gold. Keep it safe and don't let my father-in-law know about it. This way, if you run into an emergency in the future, you won't be in trouble."

Zhou Jiaoling held Lin Luoling's hand, moved her lips a few times, and then sighed: "If you leave, Yongning Marquis Mansion will be finished. Although I don't want you to leave, I don't want you to stay in this den of tigers and wolves and suffer.

Zhu Xianzhi is really not a good husband to be entrusted with your life, so it might be a good thing for you to leave."

Zhou Jiaoling choked up and burst into tears, and her hand holding Lin Luoling was trembling a little. Deep down, she really didn't want Lin Luoling to leave.

She knew that Lin Luoling had taken advantage of her, but before Lin Luoling left, he was still thinking about her future. How could Zhou Jiaoling not be willing to work for Lin Luoling?

Lin Luoling wiped Zhou Jiaoling's tears with a handkerchief and said with a faint smile:

"I asked Sister Chenyin to prepare a ten-day supply of medicine for Sister Qingyao. You can go to the Lin Mansion to get it every ten days. Remember to bring Qingyao with you so that Sister Chenyin can diagnose Qingyao and prescribe a prescription."

Lin Luoling did this out of some selfish motives.

After the tragic experiences in her previous life, there were only a handful of people she could trust without a doubt. She understood that Zhou Jiaoling only had one daughter, Zhu Qingyao, in her life, and she was determined to make Zhu Qingyao become like a normal girl.

She had to take the medicine prescribed by Chen Yin every day. She dared to tell Zhou Jiaoling openly that she was going to leave Yongning Marquis Mansion. Even if Zhou Jiaoling knew it, she didn't dare to tell others easily.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhu Qingyao to ask Chen Yin to treat her illness in the future.

Zhou Jiaoling would not use Zhu Qingyao to exchange for benefits.

Chen Yin brought a cloth bag over and said, "Madam Zhou, you must keep the medicine here well. Don't let someone with ulterior motives take advantage of it and harm Sister Qingyao again."

Zhou Jiaoling nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! I will definitely put it away."

Zhou Jiaoling asked Lin Luoling, "When does the Second Young Madam plan to leave Yongning Marquis's Mansion? I'll take Qingyao with me to see you off."

Lin Luoling waved her hand and said, "Lan Wanshuang will not survive tonight, Aunt Zhou will definitely be busy."

Zhou Jiaoling said in confusion: "Today, the maid from Chunlan Courtyard came to tell me that Lan Wanshuang is still breathing well and doesn't look like she is dying."

Hearing this, Lin Luoling understood. The maids in Chunlan Courtyard were selected by Zhou Jiaoling because they were smart and could report everything to her.

It is not difficult to guess why Zhu Xianzhi said that the two old women did not serve Lan Wanshuang wholeheartedly and why Lan Wanshuang scratched the two old women.

Zhou Jiaoling must have secretly told the two maids not to serve Lan Wanshuang wholeheartedly, and also to frequently say words to provoke Lan Wanshuang.

Lin Luoling smiled faintly and said, "Madam Zhou, please ask the maid to come in and carry the boxes back to Lanxiang Courtyard. I will ask the cook to pack a few food boxes for Madam Zhou and bring two pots of good wine. Madam Zhou will let my father-in-law drink tonight."

Zhou Jiaoling's eyes flickered a few times, and she guessed that Lin Luoling was going to attack Chunlanyuan. She nodded in agreement, called four maids to carry away the boxes, and asked three maids to take the food boxes and fine wine from the cook.

Zhou Jiaoling walked out of Shuxi Pavilion, looking back every three steps.

Lin Luoling asked the cook to set the table and said with a smile, "We are going back to the Lin residence tonight, so please don't drink and cause trouble."

After that, Lin Luoling asked Biyou and Bizhi to bring a few maids to set up the four square tables in Shuxi Pavilion in the courtyard so that the master and servants could have their meals together.

An hour later, Lin Luoling put down his chopsticks, interrupting the chat and laughter of the old woman and the maid, and said seriously: "Pack your personal belongings and wait in the courtyard to listen to my instructions at any time."

After that, Lin Luoling looked at Chen Yin and said, “Sister, we should go catch the adulterer.”
