After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 16: Profiting from Chaos (Part )
Lin Luoling did not respond, and she and Chen Yin hurried out of the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Bizhi and a group of maids and old women gathered around the carriage. When they saw Lin Luoling and Chen Yin stepping out of the mansion, they all bowed. Bizhi even walked quickly to support Lin Luoling.
Seeing this, Zhu Xianzhi, in a panic, threw the maid he was holding away.
There was a "boom" sound.
Lin Luoling looked in the direction of the voice. It was already dark, and the candlelight from the two large red lanterns hanging in front of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion was not very clear.
I saw a man covered in blood, lying beside the mansion gate in a strange posture, gasping in extreme pain, as if his throat was pinched. The sound was like a sharp knife chiseling a hole in stone.
In her previous life, she had been beaten horribly, just like the scapegoat "maid" in front of her.
She had witnessed the cruelty of Zhu Xianzhi and Lan Wanshuang, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: I thought that mother and son were black-hearted, but I didn't expect that Yongning Hou's hands were also stained with blood.
She raised her eyelids slightly and glanced at the plaque of Yongning Marquis' Mansion, only to feel that the water in Yongning Marquis' Mansion was too deep and extremely turbid, so dirty that there was black mud in the cracks of the ground.
Zhu Xianzhi stepped forward quickly, grabbed Lin Luoling's arm, and asked again in a very gentle tone: "Ling'er, it's getting late, where are you going?"
Lin Luoling seemed to come back to his senses after being dazed. He looked at Zhu Xianzhi in a daze, and his whole body began to tremble. He pointed at the "bloody man" thrown at the door by Zhu Xianzhi, and said with trembling teeth:
"What...what is that? Sister Chen Yin, did you see it? Could it be...could it be that my eyes are blurry? I seem to see a female ghost with disheveled hair and covered in blood."
After saying that, Lin Luoling pretended to have weak legs and looked like he almost fell to the ground.
Chen Yin supported Lin Luoling perfectly, turned his head and glared at Zhu Xianzhi, and said unceremoniously:
"Second Master, what are you doing? Knowing that Sister Ling'er is timid, are you planning to scare her to death? Don't you know that her palpitations have not healed yet?"
Zhu Xianzhi hurriedly explained: "Sister Chen Yin misunderstood me. I found the evil person who caused the discord and beat that damn bitch in anger to vent my anger on Ling'er.
I had originally intended to explain today's events to Ling'er, but when I saw Ling'er was leaving the house, I was worried about her health as it was getting late, and in my haste, I was unable to think things through."
Lin Luoling, who was leaning against Chen Yin's arms, felt her body soften again and slid down. "Is that a human? Not a female ghost? Even if she made a mistake, she shouldn't be beaten like this, right? It looks to me like she was beaten to death."
Lin Luoling understood that it was Marquis Yongning who asked Zhu Xianzhi to do this on purpose in order to intimidate her.
Otherwise, Zhu Xianzhi could have tied up the scapegoat "maid", gagged her, and brought her to her Shuxi Pavilion, explaining to her how this maid had interfered and caused a rift between them and her husband, and then made it clear that the Yongning Marquis' Mansion could not afford to keep such a maid and planned to sell her overnight.
Unfortunately, Marquis Yongning ordered his servants to beat the maid until she was unrecognizable as a human being, and then let Zhu Xianzhi carry her and walk between the east and west courtyards.
Lin Luoling had to act scared, for fear of revealing a flaw and letting the servant secretly sent by Marquis Yongning to follow her figure out that her heart palpitations were fake.
When Zhu Xianzhi was about to explain, he suddenly heard a female voice from the side.
"Luo Ling and Xian Zhi, where are you going so late? I was concerned about Luo Ling's health, so I personally cooked some delicious dishes and boiled some nourishing soup, thinking of letting Luo Ling taste it."
Hearing the sound, Lin Luoling and Zhu Xianzhi turned their heads to look.
The visitor was Zhu Xianzhi’s aunt, Lan Wanyun.
Lin Luoling felt amused. If the delicious food wasn't poison, she would have to burn incense to thank Lan Wanyun for not killing her.
Lan Wanyun was simply thinking about getting on good terms with Lin before she returned home tomorrow, so that Wantong Escort Agency could take on a few orders for Lin's goods to be escorted to the capital.
If she returned home, it would not be easy for her to go back to the Lin Mansion often. How could she convince her mother to ask Wantong Escort Agency to take over Lin's escort order? Lan Wanyun's conspiracy would naturally fail.
This is the truth behind why Lan Wanyun made a special trip to Yongning Marquis’ Mansion even after dark.
Lan Wanyun was really short of money. It was already dark, but she walked to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion with two maids and a servant, and was reluctant to spend money to hire a carriage.
Zhu Xianzhi said politely, "Thank you for your concern, aunt."
Lin Luoling didn't want to bow to someone as evil-hearted as Lan Wanyun, so she pretended to be frightened and unable to recover. She leaned in Chen Yin's arms, staring at Lan Wanyun in shock.
Zhu Xianzhi had no choice but to justify himself: "Ling'er has just married into the Marquis' Mansion, so naturally she is a little uncomfortable and will inevitably miss my mother-in-law. I am afraid that she will be bored staying in Shuxi Pavilion all the time, and her wild thoughts will affect her mood, which is not good for her health.
So I thought of taking her out for a walk. I heard that a new restaurant had opened by the Luo River. I thought Luo Ling hadn't been there yet, so I ordered someone to harness the carriage and go take a look."
Lan Wanyun was about to answer, but Chen Yin took the lead and asked mercilessly: "Second Master, is that so? How could I not know?"
The smile on Zhu Xianzhi's lips froze immediately. As he was thinking about what to say, he heard the sound of footsteps in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.
Everyone went to see.
Immediately, they saw the Marquis of Yongning and his wife walking out of the mansion side by side, followed by a dozen maids and servants.
Yongning Hou smiled amiably and said, "Xianzhi wanted to take Luo Ling to the newly opened restaurant by the Luo River, but I'm afraid it won't work tonight."
As he spoke, Yongning Hou looked at Lin Luoling and said, "Your great aunt's mother has cooked a table of delicious dishes for Luo Ling. Luo Ling said that you must try them. Otherwise, wouldn't your great aunt have worked for several hours in vain?"
Hearing this, Zhu Xianzhi hurriedly said, "Uncle is right. I haven't tasted my aunt's cooking for a long time. Today, thanks to Luo Ling, I can finally have a good meal."
Yongning Marquis nodded and said, "Of course, your parents are already seated, waiting for you two."
Madam Yongning ordered the housekeeper in a low voice to deal with the blood-soaked maidservant by the gate as soon as possible. Then she walked forward with a smile on her face, took Lin Luoling's hand, and said lovingly:
"Why are your hands so cold? It's just the beginning of spring, and it's really cold at night. I made chicken soup with angelica to nourish your body."
Then he looked at Chen Yin and said, "This is my first time making medicinal food. Chen Yin, you can try it too. If there is anything wrong, make a list. In the future, if Luo Ling gets pregnant, I can take care of her."
Without waiting for Lin Luoling and Chen Yin to respond, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning pulled them both towards the gate of the Marquis of Yongning's mansion.
Zhu Xianzhi followed quickly behind.
Lan Wanyun smiled awkwardly, snatched the food box from the maid behind her, and said, "It just so happens that I have made quite a few specialties, let's share them together!"
Lan Wanyun was about to step into the Yongning Marquis's mansion when the Yongning Marquis stopped her.
Yongning Marquis said solemnly, "Tonight is a family dinner. Although you are Xianzhi's aunt, you are not a member of the Yongning Marquis's family. I will not keep you here. Goodbye!"
After saying this, Marquis Yongning flicked his wide sleeves, turned around and walked into the mansion, scolding the servant to close the door.
After walking a distance, Yongning Hou muttered, "He looks like a dark demon. I have no appetite just by looking at him. His heart and lungs are so dirty that ink can drip out. What kind of place is Yongning Hou Mansion? Can just any cat or dog come in to eat?"
There was a "bang" sound.
The servant closed the door in a hurry and almost broke Lan Wanyun's nose.
Lan Wanyun was so angry that she stepped back a few steps and pointed at the red lacquered gate of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. She didn't dare to curse loudly, but spat a few times and said angrily: "Why are you putting on such a stinking airs like the Yongning Marquis? He is just a ninth-rank official, but he really thinks he is a marquis?..."
How could Lan Wanyun give up?
She took the maid and the servant and knocked on all the small doors of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, but no one opened the door for her.
She cursed at the top of her voice for a long time, then took out the golden phoenix hairpin she had just made using her gold bracelet, and stamped her feet in anger.
……
Madam Yongning took Lin Luoling's right arm and said with a smile, "Are you scared? Xianzhi is the same. He has never been alone with a woman. He really doesn't understand women's minds."
Then, he changed the subject, "Luo Ling, you don't have to feel sorry for that maid. She is a rough servant in the West Courtyard. She often secretly peeks at Xianzhi's whereabouts and is thinking about becoming Xianzhi's concubine. She heard that Xianzhi promised your parents on the day of the wedding that he would not take concubines or maids in this life, so she had the dirty idea of sowing discord between you and your husband."
Madam Yongning glanced at Zhu Xianzhi, who was following closely behind him, and continued, "Your mother-in-law only knows how to worship Buddha and copy scriptures all day long, and she is too tolerant of the maids and servants in the West Courtyard, which is why these maids have developed dirty thoughts about their masters."
Lin Luoling knew that the wife of the Marquis of Yongning was talking nonsense, so she took off her veil and said nothing, tears streaming down her face, as if she had suffered unprecedented injustice and had no place to vent.
The wife of Marquis Yongning tried to persuade him a few more times, but when she saw that Lin Luoling still didn't respond, she turned her head helplessly and winked at Marquis Yongning.
Just as they entered the Yunfang Courtyard of the East Courtyard, Yongning Hou had to put on a show, kicking Zhu Xianzhi's hind legs and angrily scolding him, "What did I teach you on weekdays? Luo Ling just married into our mansion and has palpitations. Since you are already a husband, you should know how to be considerate and caring to your wife."
Zhu Xianzhi was caught off guard by the kick from Marquis Yongning, and fell to his knees with a thud.
Before Zhu Xianzhi could react, a big broom hit him in the face.
