Chapter 98: So tough and cowardly!

Lin Zhiyi was also shocked when he saw Lin Jingshu's appearance.

She didn't expect Lin Jingshu to be beaten like a pig's head.

Her once rosy face was now swollen like a doughnut. Her left eye was squeezed into a slit by blood, and her lip was covered with a bloody scab.

Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Cousin, what on earth did you do to deserve being beaten like this?"

Lin Zhiyi smiled, immediately attracting many people to look over here.

"Lin Zhiyi, how dare you laugh!"

Lin Jingshu was furious, "Do you dare to say that those two slaves were not ordered by you?"

Lin Zhiyi stopped laughing and said calmly, "It's true that I ordered them to do this, but they are not slaves, they are my family."

Madam Zou was somewhat disdainful when she heard this. "How could such a dignified master actually call such a lowly creature family? No wonder he could be so cruel to his own blood relatives. He truly is so despicable!"

Lin Zhiyi looked over with cold eyes, "Second Aunt thinks they are lowly? Then let me ask, second uncle and third uncle... Ha, they were raised by my father for so many years, but they are so ungrateful. What kind of people are they?"

Madam Zou choked. "Stop your smooth talking here. Let me ask you, why did you beat Jingshu like that? If you don't give me an explanation, this day won't be over."

"I'll beat her, so what can Second Aunt do? It's because my eldest cousin did something wrong. Second Aunt won't discipline her daughter, and there will be people who won't spoil her."

Lin Zhiyi also lost her good face.

"Okay, you! You wait for me."

Before the exile team set out, Mrs. Zou went back to invite Mrs. Wang.

I have to vent this anger.

Lin Zhiyi walked to the cart behind the carriage and asked Lin Luchen, "Cousin, are you ready?"

Lin Lu froze for a moment, feeling a chill from head to toe, his teeth chattering, "Cousin... I..."

"The second and third wives may come to settle accounts with me later. Go and make trouble with them and break off the relationship with them."

"I……"

Lin Zhiyi frowned, "What do you mean by 'I'? Don't you want your mother to get better?"

She was very annoyed with Lin Luchen's behavior.

Sometimes I see hatred in his eyes, but when he really faces the third room, he doesn't dare to do it.

So tough and cowardly!

"Lin Luchen, if you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it forever. You have to think it through. When Madam Wang and your second and third uncles come, tell them your mother is sick and needs a large sum of money for medicine. If they don't give it to you, you'll have to break off relations with them and sever all ties with them."

As the two were talking, Uncle Lin Er and Uncle Lin San came with Old Madam Wang.

Lin Luchen was startled and hurriedly hid behind the carriage.

Madam Wang walked up to Lin Zhiyi and raised her hand to hit her, but Lin Zhiyi grabbed her arm and said coldly:

"Madam Wang, are you getting senile? We've long since severed our relationship. If you're trying to act like an elder, go back and teach your children and grandchildren a lesson!"

Brothers Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan, who were packing their things, heard the noise and rushed over to block Lin Zhiyi's way. "Why did you hit your sister?"

Madam Wang knocked her wooden cane and said, "Look at how she beat Jingshu. Get out of the way. I must teach her a lesson today."

When Lin Fu and Madam Song heard the sound, they hurriedly got off the carriage. Seeing that it was the second and third wives again, they hurried over.

Madam Song asked, "Madam Wang, you only saw the wound on your granddaughter's face and didn't ask why Zhizhi hit her?"

"It's wrong for her to hit someone. Zhizhi is becoming more and more lawless. Jingshu is her cousin, not an enemy!"

Old Lady Wang was very annoyed when she saw that Lady Song didn't even call her mother-in-law.

"Since Old Lady Wang asked, I'll explain clearly: Aunt Xue is seriously ill and dying, and Zhizhi went through great pains to invite a miracle doctor to save her.

Lin Jingshu, a daughter raised and nurtured by the Lin family, blocked medical treatment and attempted to kill! Such a vicious heart, beating her is the least of her worries!

Mrs. Song's words pushed Lin Jingshu to the forefront.

Madam Wang's eyes were grim. "He's just a lowly creature. He's dead."

The quarrel here attracted other fugitives, and naturally there were also escorts.

Fortunately, they were still in the courtyard of the post station and not on the street. Otherwise, they would have attracted many people to watch.

Seeing Master Zhang approach, Lin Zhi hurriedly said, "Master Zhang, please be magnanimous and grant me a favor today. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Master Zhang only said, "Please hurry up."

Lin Zhiyi nodded in agreement.

She saw Lin Luchen hiding behind the carriage, hesitating and not daring to move forward.

Just as she was about to walk over, Lin Luchen stood up and knelt on the ground. "Grandma, I am also your grandson. Why have you been so cruel and didn't care about the life and death of my aunt and me for the past fifteen years? Now that my aunt is dying of illness, why are you still unwilling to let him go?"

Everyone looked at Lin Luchen lying on the ground and started talking.

Seeing how skinny he was, I became even more curious about his identity.

Even if the Lin family exiled the child for more than ten days, it would not have turned him into this state. It is obvious that he has not had enough food for many years, which is why he has such a frail body.

Old Madam Wang looked at Lin Luchen and frowned.

I immediately understood Lin Luchen's identity.

Lin Lu sobbed softly, telling about what he and his son had experienced in the backyard of the Lin Mansion over the years.

Everyone suddenly realized that the huge Lin Mansion could not accommodate two poor mother and son.

When some older people heard that it was Uncle Lin's son, they immediately thought of the incident that caused a lot of uproar in the imperial city back then.

Madam Wang's expression suddenly changed. She tapped the ground with her wooden cane. "Song, as the head of the Lin family, is this how you manage the household? You let them starve for fifteen years?"

Madam Song was not going to take the blame for this. "Madam Wang is right. The three wives all receive their full monthly allowance, as do this mother and son. Aunt Xue gets three taels a month, and although her son is a concubine's son, we in the Lin family all get five taels, both legitimate and illegitimate. That's eight taels for the two of them."

Besides, the third wife eats alone and withdraws money from the accounting office every month. Could it be that the eight taels of silver in monthly wages, plus the extra money the third wife withdraws from the accounting office, are not used at all for them and their son?"

"Besides, this is something that happens in the Third Master's backyard. As the eldest sister-in-law, how can I interfere with what happens in his bed?"

After Mrs. Song finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion.

Anyone with eyes would understand that it was Madam Zhou from the third branch of the Lin family who deliberately tortured the mother and son.

Mrs. Zhou was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Uncle Lin also looked unhappy.

He thought Lin Luchen shouldn't have come out and embarrassed him.

Listening to everyone's harsh words, Uncle Lin slapped Madam Zhou in the face, "Is this how you treat my offspring? You jealous woman!"
