After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 21: Returning to the Ninth House (Part )
When Zhu Xianzhi saw Lin Luoling enter the Lin Mansion, he smiled naively at the housekeeper, and together with the servants who followed the Yongning Marquis Mansion, they carried the return gifts on the carriage of the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Feng, the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, and Nanny Qi are husband and wife. In the past two days, he has heard Nanny Qi chattering in his ear about the affairs of the Yongning Marquis Mansion. He also found out through research that there is a woman named Rong Shuhua in the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Even if Nanny Qi didn't say it, Jiang Feng, who used to be an aide to Mr. He, had guessed about 80% of the truth.
Nanny Qi dotes on Lin Luoling like her precious treasure, and Jiang Feng does the same.
Seeing Zhu Xianzhi holding a box of return gifts, Jiang Feng nodded at Zhu Xianzhi with a fake smile, and deliberately did not order the servant of the Lin Mansion to take the box that Zhu Xianzhi was holding.
There were many servants in the Lin Mansion, but no one went to receive the gift. Zhu Xianzhi followed behind the housekeeper, cursing in his heart that the Lin Mansion was a merchant family, so unruly and had no idea of the etiquette of respecting superiors and inferiors.
As soon as he entered the gate of the Lin Mansion, the housekeeper Jiang Feng and a group of servants from the Lin Mansion blocked Zhu Xianzhi's way.
Jiang Fengli said, "Please forgive me, new son-in-law. The rules set by the master and his wife are that servants are not allowed to enter the second gate unless they are the master's attendants."
The meaning was obvious: the servants who followed the Yongning Marquis' Mansion were not allowed to enter and could only wait in the front yard.
Zhu Xianzhi glanced back.
Seven or eight servants from the Yongning Marquis's Mansion carried more than twenty mahogany boxes as return gifts.
Zhu Xianzhi's face turned pale immediately. Looking forward again, he saw that the old women and maids had already escorted Lin Luoling into the second gate. The front yard was crowded with servants from the Lin Mansion and the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Zhu Xian's heart suddenly felt like it was overgrown with weeds and was in extreme chaos.
Jiang Feng made a gesture of invitation to Zhu Xianzhi and said, "Please follow me, new son-in-law." Without caring about Zhu Xianzhi's reaction, he walked towards the second door.
Zhu Xianzhi quickly quickened his pace to chase after the housekeeper Jiang Feng.
Unexpectedly, the Lin Mansion was so huge that after walking for half an hour, Zhu Xianzhi had already lost his way. He still hadn't seen his father-in-law, mother-in-law, or Lin Luoling.
After walking for a while, they saw a three-story building in front of them. The housekeeper led him inside, and Zhu Xianzhi saw her father-in-law Lin Tingxu.
There were also two women sitting in the main hall, dressed elegantly and wearing precious pearls and gold hairpins on their heads.
If Zhu Xianzhi had not served tea to these two women on the day he married Lin Luoling, he would have believed them without a doubt if he knew that these two women were Lin Luoling's aunts and that they were concubines in the palace.
Seeing Zhu Xianzhi walk in holding a tiny mahogany box, the main hall suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at him.
Zhu Xianzhi had been carrying the mahogany box for so long that his arms were already sore. He carefully placed the mahogany box at his feet and bowed to Lin Tingxu, "My son-in-law greets my father-in-law."
Lin Tingxu is a man of few words, with a slightly plump figure and stern eyes. He has even more momentum and majesty than a third-rank official in the court.
Zhu Xianzhi raised his head and suddenly felt terrified. He stammered, "Where are my mother-in-law... and Ling... Ling'er?"
Lin Luoling's eldest aunt, named Lin Yuning, is Lin Tingxu's eldest sister. She married a man who was the director of the Imperial Office in the capital. Although it was a fourth-rank official position, the power in his hands was great. She died of illness four years ago.
Lin Yuning's children have all grown up. The eldest son is highly regarded by Your Majesty and is studying under Cao Zongzheng. One day, he will inherit his father's official position and serve as the historian of the Imperial Office.
The second son studied for more than three years in the famous Military Affairs Office in the capital.
He also had a daughter who married the governor of Yuzhou as his principal wife.
Lin Yuning was depressed after her husband's death, so she thought about returning to the Lin Mansion to stay for a while.
It happened that the husband of the younger sister Lin Yuru died on the battlefield, and she was taken to the Lin Mansion by Lin Tingxu. The two sisters lived in the Lin Mansion for more than three years and never returned home.
Lin Yuning smiled and continued, "Your mother-in-law missed her daughter so much that she took Ling'er to her room to talk privately."
Butler Jiang Feng bowed and reported to Lin Tingxu: "The rules set by the master and the mistress before are that servants are not allowed to enter the second gate. Today, our young lady returned home, and the Yongning Marquis's Mansion sent more than a dozen boxes of return gifts.
I think the maids and servants in the mansion were so happy to see our young lady coming back that they all went to the mistress's courtyard. I couldn't find a few servants to carry the gifts, so I had to bring the new son-in-law to see the master first."
How could there be such a rule in the Lin Mansion?
Lin Tingxu lowered his eyes and said, "Got it!"
Lin Yuning was very perceptive and continued, "It's still early for dinner, Xianzhi! It's rare for your mother-in-law and Ling'er to meet each other. If you want to see them again in the future, you don't know when you will meet again. Let's not disturb them from talking privately."
He changed his tone and continued, "Butler Jiang, my sister and I have something to discuss with your master. You take Xianzhi and find a suitable place to put the return gift sent by Yongning Marquis's Mansion."
Lin Yuru looked indifferent and added, "Xianzhi has suffered a lot!"
Jiang Feng lowered his head, pursed his lips and smiled secretly, then made his leave and asked Zhu Xianzhi to leave the main hall.
Zhu Xianzhi, who had not had a cup of tea since entering the Lin Mansion, spent more than an hour moving all the return gifts to the side hall of the two-story building where Jiang Feng took him.
Zhu Xianzhi leaned his hands against the window, breathing heavily, and it took him a long while to catch his breath. He sighed inwardly, fortunately his father had taken away half of the return gift, otherwise, he would have to spend another two hours to finish moving.
He was angry and annoyed. After all, he was Lin Luoling's husband and the second son of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. Was the Lin family treating him like a servant?
"Is the uncle here? I have been looking for him for a long time."
Hearing the voice, Zhu Xianzhi turned around and saw a gorgeously dressed woman standing not far behind him.
Zhu Xianzhi went over the woman's appearance in his mind several times, but he couldn't remember who she was.
Suddenly Jiang Feng asked, "Why are you here?"
The woman smiled and replied, "Madam said that there will be a banquet in the Moon Viewing Pavilion today. All the masters in the mansion have already gone there, but they couldn't find our son-in-law. So Madam ordered us to go to the Moon Viewing Pavilion to look for him."
Jiang Feng took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it to the woman and said, "You must have walked in a hurry, your temples are soaked with sweat."
The woman took the handkerchief and wiped her sweat, then returned it to Jiang Feng and said to Zhu Xianzhi, "I am Madam's personal steward. My surname is Qi. You can just call me Aunt Qi."
After that, Madam Qi said to Jiang Feng, "I will take you to the Moon Viewing Pavilion first."
Jiang Feng nodded, and Nanny Qi led Zhu Xianzhi out of the side hall.
Nanny Qi, who was walking in front, suddenly lost the smile on her face. Her face became cold and her eyes were filled with anger. She walked very quickly.
In fact, after Jiang Feng brought Zhu Xianzhi into the second gate, he deliberately wandered around the Lin Mansion.
During this period, Lin Luoling had already picked out the things that could be said about the Yongning Marquis' Mansion and told them briefly to Lin Tingxu, He Jinchun, and her two aunts.
Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun were naturally furious. Lin Luoling's two aunts only had this one niece, so naturally, they were no less angry than Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun.
Aunt Qi, who had always been by He Jinchun's side, heard it and felt pain in her heart.
They happened to pass by the Bi Bo Lake of the Lin Mansion. Madam Qi wished that she could push this vile man Zhu Xianzhi into the Bi Bo Lake and drown him.
