The corner of Lin Luoling's eyes seemed to shoot out a sharp ice blade. She wished she could cut Zhu Xianzhi's body with the blade, and even if she tortured him to death, it would not be able to eliminate the hatred in her heart.

She used a handkerchief to press the tears that had not yet dried at the corners of her eyes, hiding all the hatred in the corners of her eyes, and pretended to be aggrieved and cried softly again.

This action made Yongning Hou's troubled mind even more confused, and his rage intensified.

Zhu Xianzhi lowered his head, raised his eyelids, and looked around secretly. He saw that his uncle Zhu Jingyuan's face was as black as ink, and he was suddenly frightened.

He said in fear and trepidation: "Please understand, uncle. I arrived at the door of Shuxi Pavilion before the wedding banquet was over. Thinking of Ling'er's sudden heart palpitations today, I was anxious and worried, so I went to my mother's Buddhist temple.

I prayed devoutly, reading the scriptures, and hoping that the Buddha would bless Ling'er's heart palpitations and help her recover as soon as possible."

Zhu Xianzhi looked naive when he said this.

If Lin Luoling had not asked Bizhi to investigate, she would have known the truth long ago and would have been deceived by Zhu Xianzhi's words and expression.

Chen Yin naturally knew that Zhu Xianzhi was lying, and sneered: "If all the sick people in the world can be cured by praying to gods and Buddhas, what is the use of the clinic?"

Fang, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, who often went to the Lin Mansion, stared at Chen Yin and couldn't help but think in her heart that Chen Yin was usually taciturn around He Jinchun, but she didn't expect her to be so talkative.

Chen Yin spoke twice in succession, and both his words were sharp and hit the nail on the head.

She's a girl who's not easy to mess with!

Madam Fang of the Marquis of Yongning glanced at the stunned Zhu Xianzhi and tried to smooth things over, "Xianzhi has seldom been ill since childhood, and as a man, it is inevitable that he is a little rough. For Ling'er's health, he was anxious and lost his composure, which is understandable."

After a pause, Fang suddenly said solemnly: "Xianzhi, don't blame your aunt for saying that to you. Chen Yin is a great doctor and she is Luo Ling's sister. With her around, how can Luo Ling's palpitations not be cured?

But you, stubbornly going to worship Buddha, leaving Luo Ling alone in the bridal chamber, is really inappropriate. "

There was nothing wrong with the words, and Lin Luoling looked at Fang deeply.

Fang first offended Zhu Xianzhi, and then despised Chen Yin for being just the adopted daughter of He Jinchun, yet she dared to act like a relative in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. She also took the opportunity to step on Lan Wanshuang who was hypocritically worshipping Buddha every day.

Chen Yin stood up and bowed to the Marquis of Yongning and his wife, and said in a sonorous voice:

"My stepmother entrusted me to take care of my sister Ling'er's health, and also to see if my sister Ling'er can live happily after marrying into her family.

If I were a heartless person, my stepmother would never have entrusted such an important matter to me."

Chen Yin bowed again, "If my words were inappropriate, I hope Madam Yongning Marquis will forgive me!"

Seeing this, Lin Luoling hurried forward and grabbed Chen Yin's sleeve, "Sister Chen Yin, if you return home, take me back with you..."

Having said this, Lin Luoling pretended to be out of breath and fell to the ground.

Chen Yin supported Lin Luoling just right, and said anxiously: "Sister, you must not be sad or worried too much about your palpitations. Don't be afraid or anxious. When it's dawn, I will send someone back to the mansion to ask my stepmother to come and pick us up and go back home together."

Lin Luoling and Chen Yin's perfect cooperation shocked the wife of Yongning Marquis. She wondered how she could still sit in the first seat. She walked forward to support Lin Luoling and called the maids to send Lin Luoling to her room to lie down properly.

Things have come to this point. No matter what explanation Zhu Xianzhi gives, Yongning Marquis Zhu Jingyuan will punish Zhu Xianzhi in public to calm the matter.

Therefore, Marquis Yongning angrily rebuked Zhu Xianzhi and ordered his servant to bring a whip to hit Zhu Xianzhi.

The hit was not hard, but the sound was very loud.

Lin Luoling covered her chest and looked back with the help of the wife of Marquis Yongning. She felt that Marquis Yongning was too gentle and should have broken Zhu Xianzhi's legs so that Zhu Xianzhi could experience the pain of having his legs broken.

But she said reluctantly: "Aunt, please persuade uncle not to hurt the second young master. Just scold him a few words."

Chen Yin spoke first and said, "Sister, how can you be so soft-hearted? It is such a humiliation for the Second Young Master not to enter the bridal chamber on the night of his wedding. If sister stays in the Yongning Marquis's mansion as a housekeeper in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to establish her authority.

If this gets out, not only will my sister be criticized by the gossips in the streets and lose face, but even my stepfather and stepmother will lose face as well."

Madam Yongning agreed with a smile and patted Lin Luoling's hand, saying:

"I treat you as my own daughter, and so does your uncle. Don't try to persuade him. Let your uncle give him a good lesson and let him know that he should always put you first in everything he does."

Lin Luoling had just laid down on the soft couch in Fang's room when she heard a maid loudly say, "The second lady from the west courtyard is here."

Lan Wanshuang was here, so Fang naturally couldn't stay by Lin Luoling's side. She found the best excuse and said:

"Chen Yin, you have to give Luo Ling a good look. I have to give Xianzhi a good lecture so that that stupid wooden man will know how to pamper and coax his wife."

Chen Yin nodded slightly, and Fang left only a maid to listen to her instructions, then hurried to the main hall.

While taking Lin Luoling's pulse, Chen Yin wrote on Lin Luoling's palm: The method of alerting the snake by stirring up trouble is well used!

Lin Luoling smiled charmingly.

Lin Luoling still felt unsatisfied when hearing Zhu Xianzhi's screams of pain like a pig being slaughtered coming from the main hall.

There were hurried footsteps. Lin Luoling looked up and saw Fang leading Lan Wanshuang in.

Lan Wanshuang showed a distressed look when she entered the room. She took two steps at a time and pressed down Lin Luoling who was pretending to stand up, saying:

"You have palpitations. Don't get up too fast. Just lie down."

Lin Luoling asked: "How can we break the rules?"

"What rules or not? Your mother-in-law is not a petty person. Lie down quickly!" Lady Yongning Marquis said with a smile.

Lan Wanshuang's right eyelid twitched slightly, she sneered in her heart, but agreed with him, "Your aunt is right."

Lan Wanshuang paused, and then continued, "I heard that Xianzhi made you suffer. Oh! I was so exhausted from preparing for your wedding that I went to bed early. I didn't know that Xianzhi went to my small Buddhist temple to pray for you. If I knew, would it be your uncle's turn to beat him? I would have taught him a lesson long ago."

Upon hearing this, Lady Yongning glanced at Lan Wanshuang coldly, "That's right, Luo Ling was so wronged that she stood outside my courtyard and cried, and her uncle got furious and scolded Xianzhi for not accompanying Luo Ling on the wedding night and going to the Buddhist temple.

Xianzhi was the same, he didn't even bother to apologize to Luo Ling, he just kept silent like a saw-mouthed gourd, which really pissed off his uncle."

Lin Luoling and Chen Yin looked at each other, and both sighed in their hearts that the wife of the Marquis of Yongning was really good at passing the buck.

Hearing the chief minister Zhu Xianzhi begging for mercy, Lin Luoling threw the pot back.

She wiped her tears and said, "I just said that I hurt the Second Young Master like this, but what should I do? I know that my uncle and aunt treat me as their own daughter and can't bear to see me being wronged. I just married into the Marquis' Mansion, and it's really inappropriate to make such a big fuss. It's better to stop here."

The smile on the lips of the wife of the Yongning Marquis froze, "Since you are not angry anymore, then forget it!"

The sound of beatings in the main hall stopped abruptly, and the maid came in and reported, "Madam, the servant outside the gate came to report that the grain escort officer from the capital has arrived. Upon hearing the news, the master ordered the second young master to kneel in the courtyard and reflect on himself for an hour, and then went to the study."

Madam Yongning Marquis responded, glanced at Lan Wanshuang, and said with a smile: "I see that Luo Ling's heart palpitations have not yet healed, so please don't greet her or offer her tea."

Lan Wanshuang also smiled and said, "Of course, how could I bear to let her work so hard?"

After saying this, the wife of Marquis Yongning saw a streak of pale sky appear in the horizon and ordered Nanny Dong to prepare breakfast.

Lin Luoling was wary of the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, so how could she stay for dinner? She said that she had not slept last night and felt dizzy and wanted to vomit, so it was not appropriate for her to stay in her room.

The wife of Marquis Yongning did not really want to keep them. With a look of reluctance on her face, she called for a maid to carry the sedan chair and send Lin Luoling back to Shuxi Pavilion in the west courtyard.

As soon as he left the main hall, he saw Zhu Xianzhi kneeling in the yard.

Lin Luoling secretly looked him up and down, and sighed that Marquis Yongning was not Zhu Xianzhi's biological father after all. After a long while, there was not even a drop of blood on Zhu Xianzhi's clothes.

Even if we want to save her face, this play is too fake.

Looking again, there was only a sedan parked behind Zhu Xianzhi, which made Lan Wanshuang's kind face suddenly fall.

When the daughter-in-law rides in a sedan chair, if the mother-in-law walks in front, she is leading the way. If she walks at the side, she is her personal maid following her. If she walks at the back, wouldn't she become the lowest maid?

At this time, Granny Meng came hurriedly to report, "Second Madam, your sister is here and has entered through the east side gate."

Lin Luoling took a step back and whispered in Chen Yin's ear, in a voice that both of them could hear: "The person who came is a wicked person with a bad mouth. Her name is Lan Wanyun."
