The master often scolded his son for not living up to his expectations: "Look at what a good son you have, he is a useless piece of shit. Am I going to hand over my huge family business to such a loser?"

Sometimes she wondered, what if she had married Guo Chongshan instead of the master? Would they have ended up turning against each other?

Probably not. Guo Chongshan is not a strict person. You can tell by how cautiously he treats his sister.

I originally thought that he didn't know the reason why his sister was married in someone else's place. Now I understand that he had already investigated it clearly, but just never said it out loud.

In his eyes, I am a joke, a complete joke.

"Brother-in-law! You can't report this to the police." Lin Zhuyin begged for mercy. "It is said that family disgrace should not be made public. If the Fifth Brother's affair is known to outsiders, will your Zhenguo Mansion still have face?"

Guo Wenqing laughed angrily: "Aunt! You got it wrong. My father wanted to report you to the police for framing me. Why did you involve me and the Zhenguogong Mansion?"

Lin Zhuyin rolled her eyes and explained with a smile: "I did something wrong and reported it to Jingzhao Prefecture, can you still keep your affairs secret?

You are a young lady from a wealthy family, hugging your pillow and making noises in the middle of the night! What would the people in the capital think of you?

A 20-year-old girl who has not married yet is so desperate for a man that she won’t even let go of her pillow if she can’t find one.”

"you......"

Guo Wenqing raised his finger and pointed at Lin Zhuyin, his face turning red with anger. Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the room, they were all family members.

He turned around and looked at the old lady pitifully and asked, "Mom! Is what she said true? I did such a dirty thing? How come I didn't know anything about it?"

The little girl squatting nearby complained slowly in her heart.

[Your three souls and seven spirits are all suppressed by the talisman, how can you feel anything? Forget about sleeping with a pillow in your arms, even if you were thrown into a toilet, you wouldn't know. ]

The charcoal-headed man was eating beef jerky at the side, repeating his master's thoughts in a provocative manner, and then added a sentence according to his own meaning: "It's all because of this old woman who is so mean. She deliberately plotted against you and deliberately frightened you. If you fall for her trick, you'd be a fool."

The old lady looked at her daughter apologetically and said, "Fifth brother! Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. She was the one who made the mistake first. We must report this to the police. We won't do it in vain."

"Lin Zhuqing! Stop spreading rumors and misleading people. Report to the police! Do you dare?" Lin Zhuyin was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "If you report to the police, your Lao Wu's reputation will be completely ruined.

Think about it carefully, there is not a single lie in what I said. In this matter, we should both take a step back. We are all relatives, there is no need to fight to the death.

Don't report it to the police. The fifth child's reputation is already ruined. Why not marry my eldest child? The two of them have similar interests and can live together.

But I have already said that the dowry cannot be less than 50,000 taels of silver. If it is less, we will not marry her, and your fifth child will be kept as an old lady."

Hearing such shameless words, the Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that he almost laughed: "So we should thank you? If you weren't so magnanimous, no one would want my fifth son. Is that what you mean?"

Lin Zhuyin spoke without shame, straightened her back, raised her chin high, and acted like a Bodhisattva Guanyin, saving the suffering and the distressed: "Yes, that's what I mean."

The old lady stood up suddenly, grabbed her hair, and slapped Lin Zhuyin in the face with a series of slaps.

She had never expected that this elder sister was so shameless. She could no longer tolerate it. It was clearly her who had caused the incident with the fifth child, but now she was threatening her in front of her and saying that her daughter had a bad reputation.

She said blatantly that she wanted her daughter to marry her useless son as his second wife. What kind of nonsense can a person say? His conscience must have been eaten by a dog.

She was really angry! She wanted to beat Lin Zhuyin's face into a pig's head.

The Duke of Zhenguo watched from the side without any intention of intervening. He waited until his lady had finished fighting before walking over and holding her hand and rubbing it.

"It's satisfying to hit someone, but your hands must hurt too. There's no need to reason with someone like her. Just let her say that she has a backup plan."

Lin Zhuyin was fearless: "Why should I tell you? Unless you agree to let Lao Wu marry my son, and you have to give me a dowry of 50,000 taels of silver. Otherwise, I won't tell you anything, and you can just wait to collect Lao Wu's body."

Guo Wenqing was terrified and fell down on the official hat chair: "What did you say? The thing you got will cost me my life?"

The Duke of Zhenguo glanced at his daughter, then turned to look at Lin Zhuyin: "Aunt! Don't exaggerate. We ordinary people can't resist these things, but if we meet the Imperial Master, we won't be able to resist them.

That monk Honghe must be a very bad monk. I have sent people to catch him. When he comes, I will know what tricks you have in mind. "

"National Master?" Lin Zhuyin was startled. She looked at the baby squatting beside her and chewing beef jerky, and burst into laughter. "Brother-in-law! Are you still dreaming? What can a baby who is still drinking milk do?

Monk Honghe is a highly accomplished monk. The talismans he gave are very powerful. Your fifth child has used them, and my younger sister has also seen them. Do you think the baby's skills can be better than that monk's? Stop talking nonsense."

The despised little boy stood up, patted his slightly dirty chubby hands, walked to Lin Zhuyin like a cannonball, and looked up at her.

"Monk, yes, bad silver."

[This woman is a fool. There is no free lunch in the world. She must pay for what she wants. I don't know whose fate she is betting on.]

The charcoal-headed man was afraid that his master would suffer, so he stood side by side with her and said, "The thing that the monk gave you was very vicious. Did you promise him something? Or did you bet on someone's fate?"

Old lady: “…”

No way! Is there such a weird thing? Using a person's fate to exchange for a ghost marriage card.

The Duke of Zhenguo asked Lin Zhuyin jokingly, "Are you betting on my fate? But my fate carries killing and evil spirits, and the monk can't take it away even if he wants to. Who else can be left? Your man?"

Lin Zhuyin's face changed drastically. She didn't expect the black boy in front of her to be so powerful and guess her back-up plan at once. The Duke of Zhenguo was also powerful and also guessed her original intention.

Originally, they wanted to use his fate as a bet, but the monk said that his fate was unlucky and there was no way to change it, so they used his husband's fate instead.

Anyway, she no longer had any feelings for the old man. If the plan succeeded and he died, it would be compensation for the humiliation she had endured over the years.

Since she couldn't get promoted, the rest of her was of little use, so she used the money to donate to her son to get him an official position. She was the wife of the family, and all the women in the backyard were sent to the farm to work like slaves.

From now on, she will be the eldest one in the family. No one can make her angry anymore and everyone has to do what she wants.
