Chapter 6: Just consider it as redemption money for that scumbag

Lin Zhiyi opened the door and it turned out to be Fang's mother.

When Fang's mother saw Lin Zhiyi, she burst into tears and said, "Miss, you have suffered."

Lin Zhiyi hurriedly pulled Fang's mother into the house, not letting her cry outside the door to avoid attracting attention.

"Nanny, why are you here?"

Mother Fang wiped her tears and said, "Dalin just happened to run into Chai Ya on the street."

Dalin is Fang Mama's son.

Not long after Fang's mother gave birth to Dalin, her husband fell ill and died.

As a result, the Fang family was so poor that they could not even afford to eat. Seeing that the whole family was about to starve to death, Fang's mother had no choice but to leave Dalin to her elderly parents-in-law. She sold herself to the Lin family to become Lin Zhiyi's wet nurse.

Lin's mother, Song Ruolan, the original owner's mother, did not stop Fang's mother from taking care of her young son and elderly parents-in-law just because she sold herself.

After all, they are all poor people.

After asking, Lin Zhiyi found out that it was Fang Mama's son Dalin who saw Chai Ya rushing to Qin's house and recognized her at a glance.

Seeing the wound on her face, he called her to ask and found out that Lin Zhiyi had just had a miscarriage and was in the inn at that time.

Fang's mother was so angry that her body tensed up. "How could they treat the young lady like this? I'm going to go and settle the score with them."

Yesterday, Chai Ya came to find Fang Mama and handed her a stack of farmland and land deeds, saying that the young lady asked her to find Ya Xing to sell them. Before she could ask clearly, Chai Ya ran away.

She had already guessed something.

At that time, she was still thinking that the girl had finally come to her senses and knew to be on guard against the Qin family.

Who would have thought that the Qin family would actually demote my wife to a concubine.

Lin Zhiyi hurriedly grabbed Fang's mother and said, "Wait."

I still remember the book saying that the original owner initially refused to pay any attention to Fang Mama. Years later, when Brother Lin returned to the capital and refused to acknowledge the original owner, upon learning that she had been divorced by the Qin family, Fang Mama was furious and went to the Qin family to settle the score.

However, the Qin family found an excuse and said that she had trespassed into someone else's house and tried to steal money and kill people. They beat her severely and she died when she returned.

But Fang Mama's son could no longer tolerate the original owner, and in the end the original owner had to live on the streets.

Speaking of which, Mother Fang is really loyal and protective of her master.

"Nanny, don't panic. I have made up my mind. Go ahead and sell those farms and shops, as well as the Qin family's servants. Sell them as soon as possible. If the boy refuses to take them, I can sell them for 80% of the money."

How could Lin Zhiyi stay in the Qin family and suffer bullying? At that time, even if she couldn't get a divorce letter, a divorce letter would be fine.

As long as she can leave the Qin family.

As for the original owner's dowry, she would not let these people get it for free.

Mrs. Fang replied yes.

Mother Fang hugged Lin Zhiyi and cried for a long time, wanting Lin Zhiyi to move back to her small courtyard, but Lin Zhiyi refused.

The reason is that the yard is not big and it is inconvenient for too many people to live there.

She still stayed in the inn to make it easier for her to do things.

Five days passed in a flash, and Lin Zhiyi's body was almost recovered.

She went out for a walk a few times in the past two days and stocked up on some things.

She knew that it was time for her to return to the Qin family.

Sure enough, because the Qin family was eager to curry favor with the He family, they were in a hurry to arrange this marriage. All the Qin family members were busy arranging Qin Lang's marriage and completely forgot about Lin Zhiyi in the courtyard.

That day, the old woman told Lin Zhiyi that she wanted to welcome He Jiaojiao into the family as a legal wife. She just wanted to inform Lin Zhiyi and it didn't matter whether she agreed or not.

Chai Ya would return to the Qin family every day. Although Lin Zhiyi was trapped in this courtyard, he knew everything about the Qin family.

At night, Lin Zhiyi and Chai Ya crawled into the Qin family through the dog hole.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Lin Zhiyi took out the aphrodisiac incense that Fang Mama had prepared in advance and came to the main courtyard.

Looking at the red silk hanging on the main courtyard gate, Lin Zhiyi felt only irony!

Original owner, oh original owner, why did you fall for such a scumbag?

She pushed the door open and entered the yard, and based on the original owner's memory, she went directly to the private vault.

Discovering that the private vault was locked, Lin Zhiyi took out a piece of wire in the moonlight and inserted it into the keyhole. After a while, the lock opened.

How could this be difficult for her?

She had a childhood friend who was a locksmith, and she often forgot to bring her keys when she went out. Her childhood friend was annoyed by the trouble, so he taught her this skill.

And this ancient lock seems to be easier to open.

She entered the private vault and took out a flashlight from the space. Seeing that the private vault was full of things, she opened the boxes one by one to check. There were silks, gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, famous inkstones and inks, spices and medicinal materials, tea and wine treasures, etc.

These are the dowries that the Lin family gave to the original owner, which are quite a lot.

Lin Zhiyi's jewelry and clothes seemed to have all been sorted into a private vault, probably at the order of Qin's mother.

Lin Zhiyi put them all into the space.

And the boxes were left to them.

Then, Lin Zhiyi came to the outer courtyard again. From afar, she saw the outer courtyard filled with mahogany boxes and knew that these were He Jiaojiao's dowry.

The two old women guarding the place seemed to be asleep.

She tiptoed over and was about to open the box to take a look when she saw the old woman suddenly move. She was so scared that she hurried into the space.

The old woman opened her eyes, looked around, and then lay down again to continue sleeping.

After a long time, Lin Zhiyi came out again. She was not in a hurry to collect her things, but lit the incense.

Lin Zhiyi also asked Fang's mother to buy this aphrodisiac in advance.

She held it under the old woman's nose for a long time.

Seeing that the old woman was sleeping more soundly, Lin Zhiyi extinguished the incense and continued to put things into the space.

These dowries can be regarded as the redemption money that He Jiaojiao pays to that scumbag.

Dozens of loads of dowry were all stored by Lin Zhiyi into the space.

And the box was left where it was.

She hasn't received the divorce papers yet, so she can only leave the boxes there to confuse the Qin family.

After Lin Zhiyi finished collecting the things, she went back to the courtyard to sleep. The Qin family had no idea about this.

The next day, Lin Zhiyi slept until noon.

Looking at the food that Chai Ya put on the table, which was still rotten, she narrowed her eyes.

It seems that she is going to meet the Qin family.

Lin Zhiyi came to the courtyard where Old Madam Qin lived.

Seeing that all the Qin family members gathered here, in addition to Qin Lang, there were also his eldest brother, sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters.

Mother Qin was discussing the wedding arrangements with them tomorrow. When she saw Lin Zhiyi walk in, she couldn't help but frown and asked, "What are you doing here?"

In the past, when the original owner saw her, he would definitely salute her respectfully, which was also what made Qin's mother most proud.

So what if she is a noble lady from the imperial city? You still have to be respectful when you meet her.

And all these honors were given by her son, Qin Lang.

Therefore, it is better to give birth well than to marry well.

But now, Lin Zhiyi had no intention of bowing at all.

Lin Zhiyi ignored Qin's mother and looked directly at Qin Lang, "Since I heard that my husband intends to take a new woman, I will come in person to fulfill the etiquette."

Lin Zhiyi emphasized the word "納".

The words "嫁" and "納" are only one word different, but their meanings are very different.

Only a wife is married, while a concubine is taken in.

Qin Lang frowned slightly. Could it be that the servants didn't explain it to her clearly?

"Jiaojiao is the daughter of the He family, how can she be a concubine?"

Lin Zhiyi sneered, "Oh? My husband, are you planning to divorce your wife and remarry? What if I don't agree?"

If you dare, I will sue you tomorrow for divorcing your wife and marrying again!"

Qin Lang's expression became even uglier. She hated the way Lin Zhiyi looked at him the most.

Before he could speak, Qin's mother spoke first, "If you don't want to, my Qin family will divorce you."

His son is so outstanding, how could he let the daughter of a criminal be his wife?

"My daughter-in-law is stupid. May I ask, mother-in-law, which of the seven offenses did I commit?"

Lin Zhiyi was still confident about this because when the original owner met the Qin family, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. How could he possibly violate the seven grounds for divorce?

According to the Dagan law, a woman who had no children could be divorced after three to five years.

They had only been married for two years, so even if she had no children, she was not among the seven grounds for divorce.

Qin Lang's expression instantly turned colder upon hearing this. He slammed the table and said, "Lin Zhiyi, how dare you!"
