Chapter 667 Entering the Lin Mansion

After Lin Yue'e returned to the mansion, Lin Yuesha suggested that the two of them go together to pay their respects to their scumbag father, so as to distract him and make it less abrupt.

"Okay, I'll go back and change into a dress."

Lin Yue'e readily agreed, but secretly she was waiting to see her scumbag father make a fool of himself.

His mother's body was barely cold when he showed no regard for their marital bond, married another woman, and even boasted about it – utterly despicable.

Fortunately, Qin Nanyan was not a fool. She did not passively accept the Qin family's arrangements. She heard that the knife was so deep that it could see the bone. If the doctor had not stopped the bleeding in time after removing the knife, her scumbag father would have lost his life.

Lin Yue'e closed her eyes. If her mother had a spirit in heaven, she would rather take him away. Why keep him around to continue to bully and oppress the Lin family?

"Miss Qin's behavior has implicated the Qin family, and Father seems very angry."

Lin Yuesha spoke up to remind Lin Yue'e, but in reality, she was testing Lin Yue'e's attitude: "Don't speak carelessly in front of Father."

"I know, I'm not stupid, do you need to tell me that?"

Lin Yue'e was very impatient; she would be stupid to mention the Qin family. Her mother had just left when she ran crying to her maternal grandmother, Old Madam Qin's, courtyard and knelt down to beg, only to be chased away by the maids and servants. She went to visit the Qin family again and again, only to be turned away at the door.

Lin Yue'e suddenly realized that her reliance was never on the Qin family, and that the Qin family only cared about their own interests and were indifferent to her mother's death.

In the courtyard, Lin Shusheng was throwing a tantrum. The moment the gauze was removed after Liao Langzhong changed his dressing, he was in so much pain that he almost died on the spot. However, he could not directly scold Liao Langzhong, so he could only vent his anger on the servants of the Lin family.

"Master, Physician Liao told you not to move around. If the wound reopens, you will suffer twice as much."

The manager was severely reprimanded and then had to worry about Lin Shusheng's safety.

Thankfully, Miss Qin failed this time; otherwise, these servants wouldn't have been able to stay with the Lin family and might have been resold somewhere else.

"I told you to find a quick and efficient maid, and what kind of person did you find for the master? Clumsy and clumsy!"

Lin Shusheng looked around the wedding courtyard. It had been two days, and the manager hadn't even bothered to remove the bright red wedding candles and lanterns and leave them in the room as decorations. Was he deliberately trying to disgust him?

"Master, this..."

The steward shrank back; if Lin Shusheng didn't give the order, who would dare to make a move?

Furthermore, dismantling the decorations in the bridal chamber requires manpower, which would disturb the peace and quiet of the master of the house.

"Tear it down! Tear it all down and throw it away! I don't want to see this mess!"

Lin Shusheng closed his eyes, his chest heaving. He suppressed his anger and waved his hand.

"Just focus on recovering. The Jingzhao Yin's office and the Five Cities Military Command will join forces to arrest her. That little bitch Qin Nanyan won't be able to escape. Whether she's round or flat then is up to you, sir."

After the steward's words of comfort, Lin Shusheng felt a little better. The capital city wasn't that big; everyone had to register to enter and exit. As long as he was still alive, he would eventually fall into his hands.

Even if someone is dead, he won't let them go; he'll dig them up from the ground and whip their corpse. Lin Shu had lived for over thirty years, and this was the first time he'd suffered such a huge loss, all because of a little girl.

However, although he was injured, he did not come away empty-handed. Now that his colleagues knew that he had broken with the Qin family and had been tricked by Master Qin, they felt great sympathy for him.

In this way, the tail that had been hanging there for more than ten years was finally shaken off.

"Master, if you find the maidservants too clumsy, why not bring your beautiful maidservant to serve you in the manor?"

Having received a bribe from the beautiful woman, the steward advised Lin Shusheng that now was the perfect time.

The Lin family has no matriarch, and the old lady has limited energy and can't manage too many things, so Jiao Niang can help share the burden.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shusheng decided it was feasible. These stupid and clumsy maids were no match for the gentle and kind lady who applied the medicine for him. Seeing her delicate demeanor, Lin Shusheng immediately felt much better.

However, since Jiao Niang could not enter the mansion as a mistress, she could only temporarily make do as a maid in the Lin family.

"That's just talk to outsiders. In the manor, it's up to you, sir. Young Master Haowen and Young Master Haowu will be placed in the outer courtyard. When the time is right, they will be officially recognized."

The steward flattered him, and Lin Shusheng was in a great mood. Yes, now that Qin Shi was dead, no one could threaten him anymore, and no one would mention his dishonorable past.

After Qin died, he sent someone to Qin's estate to find the butcher's wife. He heard that just two days earlier, the butcher's wife had committed suicide by jumping into the river when she had a fit of madness.

The servants of the village led Lin Shusheng to a solitary grave on an earthen mound, which was the place where the butcher's wife was buried.

Given Lin Shusheng's suspicious nature, he wished he could have the grave dug up and examined it carefully. He secretly inquired and heard that the butcher's wife had always been insane, which relieved him.

The words of a madman are insufficient as evidence and cannot be trusted, especially since he has already met his maker.

After Lin Yue'e changed her clothes, she and Lin Yuesha went to pay their respects to their scumbag father, Lin Shusheng, but were told by the steward, "Master has just gone to bed. Please come back later, ladies."

She waited for a whole day. As usual, Lin Yuesha went to Grandma Lin's house for dinner, but unexpectedly saw Lin Yue'e there as well.

"Moonlight Gown, we're just waiting for you to start the meal."

The atmosphere inside the room was tense, but Old Madam Lin didn't seem to care. Pointing to Haowen and Haowu, she introduced them, "These are relatives from the clan. These two boys are scholars who have come to seek refuge with the Lin family. They will be your younger brothers from now on."

Lin Yuesha nodded and greeted Lin Haowen and Lin Haowu, knowing their identities.

Lin Shusheng brought Jiao Niang and her family into the Lin residence, and it wasn't long before their identities were revealed.

Lin Yue'e lowered her head. Her mother had just died, and the household had already changed so drastically. Lin Yue'e was highly suspicious of the two men's identities. What relatives? With Old Madam Lin being so mean and stingy, it was already a blessing if relatives came seeking refuge and weren't thrown out!

Old Mrs. Lin didn't care about Lin Yue'e's thoughts at all. Even if Lin Yue'e went to the Qin family to complain, she would still need to see Old Mrs. Qin. That old woman was now a suspect and was under formal supervision, unable to leave the Qin residence.

Haowen and Haowu were taken back to the Lin family. Dinner was even more lavish than usual. Old Mrs. Lin spared no expense, using the finest ingredients, and the kitchen prepared a huge table full of dishes.

After the meal, Lin Yuesha prepared to return to her room, but was stopped by Lin Yue'e.

"Sister, let's go and pay our respects to Father."

Lin Yue'e pulled Lin Yuesha along, and when she called out "Sister," Lin Yuesha immediately felt a chill run down her spine and became wary.

Haowen and Haowu were brought back to the manor, and Jiaoniang was definitely there as well. Ever since Lin Yuesha learned of Jiaoniang's secret, she was determined not to get involved and was trying to avoid the situation.

"Sister Yue'e, I won't go."

Lin Yuesha clutched her stomach, her expression pained, and said, "Nature calls..."

"Fine, if you don't want to go, then don't!"

Lin Yue'e snorted coldly, took her pipa and headed straight for the wedding courtyard. She had to meet that cunning vixen!
