Chapter 91 Why can’t you save yourself?

Lin Jingchu turned around and looked at Lin Zhiyi angrily: "What does this have to do with you? Lin Zhiyi, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Lin Zhiyi ignored her, but took two steps and stood beside Lin Luchen: "Cousin, I'm here, don't be afraid!"

The words "I am here" made Lin Luchen feel a little warm in his heart, and his eyes became slightly red.

As if he had gained strength, he met Lin Jingchu's gaze and said, "Cousin Zhizhi is right. I'm making medicine for my mother. This kitchen was given to me by the escort. What does it have to do with you?"

Lin Jingchu widened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Lin Luchen, who had always been afraid of her, would be so tough and dare to refute him.

She thought of what her father had told her to do, asking her to boil medicine for her grandmother. Today, the third room would boil the medicine first, and tomorrow it would be the second room's turn.

Forget it, I'll settle the score with this little bastard later.

Grandma's illness is serious.

She looked around but couldn't find the medicine pot or furnace.

After asking others, I learned that although the bailiffs allowed the prisoners to come to the kitchen to boil medicine, they had to prepare the medicine pots and stoves themselves.

She returned to Lin Luchen again and ordered, "Bring me the medicine furnace and pot."

Lin Luchen hurriedly protected the medicine pot, "Why should I give it to you?"

Lin Luchen heard the conversation between the doctor and Lin Zhiyi. His mother was very ill and the medicine was very expensive. If it was spilled, a lot of money would be lost.

"I told you to give it to me, so you gave it to me. Stop talking nonsense! Get out of the way."

As Lin Jingchu spoke, she tried to push Lin Luchen, but was pushed away by Lin Luchen. "Don't even think about touching my mother's medicine."

"Your mother is a worthless person, how can she compare to grandma?"

Lin Luchen retorted, his eyes red as he said, "My mother is not a worthless person. She is the best mother in the world."

"Heh~" Lin Jingchu's face was full of sarcasm: "If your mother really had any backbone, how could she have offered herself to my father back then?

She used the bastard in her belly to force her way into the Lin Mansion. She's even more calculating than the girls in the brothels. At least they clearly marked their prices, but your mother has no respect for herself."

Lin Luchen became excited when he heard this, "That's not the case, that's not the case..."

Because I am not good at speaking, I don’t know how to refute.

Lin Zhi saw that Lin Luchen was trembling all over, breathing rapidly, and tears were welling up in his eyes, as if he was on the verge of collapse.

She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Lin Jingchu, is that what your mother told you?"

"Yeah, is this true?"

"Of course it's fake. It was your beastly father who raped the daughter of a good family. Concubine Xue was originally engaged, but your father, relying on the Lin family's power, forcibly snatched her away, which is why she got pregnant."

"How is that possible? My father has always loved my mother." Lin Jingchu retorted.

"Your father loves your mother so much, why did he only wear one of the three straw raincoats he bought from me last time? Why didn't he care about your mother's life or death?"

Lin Zhiyi had a slightly sarcastic look on his face.

Lin Jingchu also looked back at Lin Zhiyi, his eyes full of hatred.

If she hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it.

It rained those two days, and as a good cousin, she would rather give the raincoat to outsiders than sell it to their relatives.

Fortunately, cousin Jingshu bought them a straw raincoat the next day, so they didn't get too wet.

"Lin Zhiyi, even though the first and third branches have severed their relationship, they are still from the same lineage, and the ancestral hall still worships the same ancestor. As a junior, you slander your elders like this. Where is your upbringing?"

Lin Zhiyi sneered, "You call your own brother a little bastard, and you dare to ask me for advice on education? Are you worthy? That incident back then was reported to the government office, and it was also known to the people of the imperial city. If my father hadn't stepped in, your father would probably be in jail somewhere.

Ask any older person, and they'll tell you your father was always roaming around the streets, seducing decent women and playing with married women. I was only four or five years old back then. Do you think a child like me could slander him so much that everyone in the city knew about it?"

As soon as Lin Zhiyi finished speaking, the kitchen was immediately filled with discussions.

The kitchen is very large and is specially used to accommodate the fugitives and cook for them.

At this time, many people were decocting medicine here.

Although there are young people, there are more people who are a little older. Some are decocting medicine for their family members, and some are cooking.

Seeing that everyone showed disdain, Lin Jingchu began to doubt. Could it be really as Lin Zhiyi said?

So what if it was like that, Daddy was still the daddy who doted on her.

She remembered that when she was young, she often saw her mother crying, all because of this mother and son.

"Hmph, cousin Zhizhi, do you think I'll believe you just because you say a few words? No matter what, he shouldn't have been born into this world. Get out of the way! I need to make some medicine for Grandma."

Lin Jingchu made a move to take the medicine pot from the medicine stove.

"Let's see who dares!"

Lin Zhiyi yelled, "Lin Jingchu, this medicine pot is mine. The medicine inside is worth twenty taels of silver. Are you sure you want to take it? If any of the medicine is spilled, your third wife will have to pay for it."

Lin Jingchu's hand paused, and he didn't dare to pick up the medicine pot.

Cousin Xiu Ze spilled some of the chicken soup she had stewed, and cousin Zhizhi chased him and beat him up. It hurt just thinking about it.

She glared at Lin Luchen and decided to settle the score with him later.

"Cousin Zhizhi, now that his medicine is done, can I use the medicine pot?"

"No!" Lin Zhiyi refused.

"Is cousin Zhizhi really so heartless?"

Mother Fang continued, "You are the heartless ones. You can't even raise your own flesh and blood. Get out of here now."

"you……"

Lin Jingchu knew that she couldn't argue with so many people alone, and it would be a disadvantage to stay here. She glared at Lin Luchen again and left the kitchen.

Lin Luchen's expression was obviously not right.

There was fear in his eyes.

Lin Zhiyi frowned.

Seeing the malicious look in Lin Jingchu's eyes when he left, she was afraid that he was going to complain to Uncle Lin and Madam Zhou.

She turned to look at Lin Luchen: "Cousin, are you willing to stand up for your mother for once?"

Lin Zhiyi could help the mother and son pay for their medical expenses, but after all, they were a family. If Uncle Lin wanted to teach his son a lesson, she really couldn't do anything about it.

If a father teaches his son a lesson, even the emperor cannot stop him.

She whispered, "Cousin, make a fuss about this so that we can sever ties with them."

Lin Luchen shrank back a bit, "Cousin, but I..."

"But what? What's there to be afraid of? You can go to your uncle and ask him to save your mother, so why can't you save yourself?"
