The people in the General's residence discovered that both their General and Madam had become extremely abnormal. The General, who used to be a man of few words, filial, brotherly, and doted on...
Chapter 153 People’s Eyes Are Sharp
Shen Zhao had just gotten off the carriage when a plump woman knelt down in front of her.
She opened her mouth and howled: "General... I am finally able to see you. I am Mrs. Lin, the mother of Lin Feihu.
It was Lin Feihu who died tragically on the battlefield while trying to save you.
Now my family can no longer make a living, so I have come to you for help."
There was a strange light in Chen Zhao's eyes. Wasn't this woman the second mother of Lin Jiaojiao whom she met when she followed Lin Jiaojiao that day?
Well, it’s only been a few days and Lin came to our door.
It seems that Lin Jiaojiao has not had a lot of free time these days.
It was such a coincidence today that she didn't have to bother gathering Chu Mu's deputy generals.
Zhang Liang and Liu Zhong are the eldest brothers among Chu Mu’s deputy generals.
With the two of them here today, we can see Lin Jiaojiao’s true face.
Tomorrow all of Chu Mu’s soldiers will know.
Lin's words obviously changed Zhang Liang and Liu Zhong's expressions.
However, the two did not ask the general anxiously.
Chen Zhao said with a cold face: "Madam, are all these things you said true? Do you know that pretending to be a relative of a martyr is against the laws of Nanchu?"
Lin choked. How would she know that? But she was not pretending. She was married to Lin Feihu's father himself.
No matter what, Lin Feihu would still call her mother.
"How dare a peasant woman deceive the general? She is really Lin Feihu's mother."
Then he pointed at Lin's father and said, "That's Lin Feihu's father."
He then pulled Lin Tiezhu and his youngest son over and introduced them, "He is Lin Feihu's second brother and this is his youngest brother.
We are definitely members of the Lin family, the relatives of Lin Feihu who remain alive.
If you don't believe me, General, you can ask Jiaojiao. She is the daughter of our Lin family."
How could Chen Zhao not believe it? She saw it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears that day.
She looked at Lin Jiaojiao seriously and asked, "Miss Lin, is what she said true? Are they really members of the Lin family?"
Lin Jiaojiao tried her best to suppress the nervousness in her heart.
However, before Lin Jiaojiao could speak, Lieutenant General Zhang, holding Lin's father's collar, took the lead in rescuing Lin Jiaojiao.
"General, you don't trust Miss Lin and me, do you? I was the one who went to Linjia Village to pick up the Lin family.
The village headman that my subordinates were looking for was the one who led their subordinates to find the Lin family.
It is true that Miss Lin is the only one left in the Lin family.
These people must have no idea who hired them to destroy Miss Lin's reputation and force her to leave the General's Mansion."
As Deputy General Zhang spoke, he looked intentionally or unintentionally at Chu Mu who was standing in front of the mansion gate.
The meaning was obvious, almost saying that it was the Madam who hired people to perform a show in front of the mansion to harm Miss Lin.
Zhang Liang and Liu Zhong followed Lieutenant General Zhang's gaze and saw the lady standing in front of the mansion gate.
They seldom saw the general's wife, but they had heard a little about her.
In particular, no one in their army was unaware of the lady's reputation for being petty, ungrateful, and for bullying Miss Lin.
It was all thanks to Lieutenant General Zhang's extensive propaganda. Lieutenant General Zhang even instigated other brothers in the army to write a joint letter to force the general to divorce his wife and remarry.
But they did not listen to Lieutenant General Zhang's advice, even though Miss Lin was Lin Feihu's sister.
However, the general's lifelong affairs were not something that they, as his subordinates, could participate in or influence.
No matter how bad the lady is, as long as the general does not mention divorce, they will not force the general to divorce her.
But at this time they were shaken. Even if the lady was being reckless, she shouldn't have hired people to make trouble in front of the general's mansion.
This not only ruins Miss Lin's reputation, but also the general's reputation.
Such behavior is shameful and makes these people feel disheartened.
Lin Feihu died tragically on the battlefield while trying to save the general. Even his body has not been found. You can imagine how tragic his death was.
Even if the lady dislikes Miss Lin, she shouldn't use this matter to make trouble.
A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, let alone this life-saving favor. Madam is putting the general in an unjust position.
"General Zhang Ben will ask you now, but you have forgotten what happened in your house two days ago.
Are you really sure that these people were hired to act and are not members of the Lin family!
Zhang Cheng, you are my right-hand man and someone I trust. I don't want my subordinates to act on impulse without knowing right from wrong.
Have I ever told you that if you do this again, don't blame me for driving you out of the house without any consideration for our past friendship?"
Shen Zhao's words are thought-provoking, especially for Zhang Liang and Liu Zhong.
What happened in the mansion two days ago? Zhang Cheng, like them, was a person the general trusted.
What had he done to make the general question his words?
Zhang Cheng really couldn't produce any substantial evidence to prove that the people in front of him were hired by the lady to frame Miss Lin.
But he firmly believed that Miss Lin would not lie to him, and he said with his neck stiff:
"General, I wrongly accused Madam two days ago because I didn't understand the reason clearly. I admit my mistake.
If it weren't for the fact that Madam often bullied and mistreat Miss Lin, how could I have thought that it was she who bullied Miss Lin again, and not anyone else in the mansion.
"What happened today is clearly someone deliberately trying to make things difficult for Miss Lin. Miss Lin is just an orphan, how could that person be so narrow-minded and intolerant of her?"
The person Zhang Cheng was referring to was of course Shen Zhao.
Chen Zhao sneered, "In your eyes, Miss Lin is not living well in the mansion? Is it the Madam who treats her harshly? Is that so?!"
"Yes! Miss Lin is not living a happy life in the mansion. Madam is always ostracizing and suppressing her."
Today, Zhang Cheng is determined to reveal his wife's true identity in front of everyone.
Seek justice for Miss Lin.
"Okay, okay, okay. So, in Lieutenant General Zhang's eyes, it was my Grand General's Mansion that mistreated Miss Lin."
Zhang Cheng was stunned. He said that the lady treated Miss Lin harshly, but he didn't say that the general treated Miss Lin harshly.
Why would the general say that? He was devoted to the military camp, so how could he know what was going on in the mansion?
"General, I was talking about your wife, not you."
Chen Zhao walked towards Chu Mu, then waved to Lin Jiaojiao and said, "Miss Lin, can you stand with my wife?"
Lin Jiaojiao felt a little disappointed. How could Brother Mu call Shen the bitch "Madam" in front of everyone?
And shouldn't Brother Mu believe in what Deputy General Zhang said as before, slap Shen in the face in front of everyone, and punish Shen?
Lin Jiaojiao reluctantly followed Shen Zhao's words and stood with Shen.
Everyone was confused. General Chu didn't want to deal with the farce in front of him. Why did he let his wife and Miss Lin stand together?
Amidst everyone's questions, Chen Zhao spoke up, "I believe that everyone is a clear-sighted person. I've wronged my wife today. Do you all see any difference between the two of them?"
The customs of the people in Southern Chu were open and there were few restrictions on women.
There were no fewer ladies and girls walking on the street than men, and there was nothing wrong with Chen Zhao letting everyone see Lin Jiaojiao and Chu Mu.
Today Chu Mu was wearing the dress she wore two years ago, and her outfit was what she had worn at home in the past two years.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference between the two of them.
Sure enough, someone said, "Everyone, I don't think this general's wife is a lady except for her aura.
On the contrary, Miss Lin next to her looks more like a lady."
