Chapter 405: Sent Back Home
After the living room in Old Madam Lin's courtyard was smashed to pieces, Marquis Dingguo waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Then he left in a swagger with a few guards.
"Chen Zhiqiong - you are a rude warrior! A hooligan -" Madam Lin covered her chest and fell straight down.
When Marquis Dingguo went crazy just now, the maids and servants hiding in the corner rushed over to support her.
Madam Lin was so angry that her hands were shaking: "Go inform the old master! How ridiculous! Do you really think our Lin family is easy to bully? Go quickly, go quickly——"
Lin Yaxian's face was pale and full of tears. She helped Old Madam Lin leave and went to Lin Yaxian's room to rest first.
But before they could bring Prime Minister Lin home.
The yamen runner came, kneeling outside the house, and said with an embarrassed look: "Madam Lin, this side Ding Guohou Mansion sent a group of suspects, who actually wanted to disrupt and offend Mr. Shen's wedding yesterday. The suspects said that Madam Lin bribed them. Madam Lin, please come with us."
Madam Lin's face turned even darker. "How dare you! Who do you think you are? Prefect Song is only a third-rank official, yet he dared to offend our Lin Mansion! My old master is a first-rank official!"
The yamen runner's face turned pale. "Please forgive me, old lady... Although Prime Minister Lin is a first-rank minister, Madam Lin is a commoner and has no title."
"Her behavior yesterday was offensive to a third-rank lady."
When Lin Yaxian heard that she had actually "offended" Ye Caiping, her eyes immediately turned bloodshot and she suddenly opened the curtain and rushed out:
"What the hell is she! Just a lowly peasant woman..."
Yamen runner: “…”
Lin Yaxian said coldly: "Okay, okay, she said that I bribed people to offend her, was she offended? Who said that?"
Yamen runner: "Yes, it was those people who were holding the funeral. The leader, Liu Daniu, was crying and said that a girl gave him 100 taels to let him hold the funeral early. He used the coffin to hit the sedan chair. The prefect said that Madam Lin was the most suspicious, so he asked her to come to the yamen, but just to ask a few questions."
Lin Yaxian: "Don't even think about it!"
The yamen runner shrank back and stammered, "Madam Lin...please don't embarrass me. I am just doing my job. Madam Lin is inconvenient, so I have to send a maid."
Madam Lin came out and said, "You are such an impudent thing! You can't even take a maid with you, let alone a dog from our family! Wait until my old master comes back and see how he will expose your skin! Someone, kick him out!"
The yamen runner was kicked out.
The number of guards and servants guarding the gate doubled, and they said that no one except family members was allowed in.
At noon, Prime Minister Lin finally came back and rushed to Lin Yaxian's room in a rage.
As soon as Mrs. Lin saw him, she complained, "That Shen Zhiqiong is simply a mad dog! He wrongly accused our Yaxian of hiring people to disrupt their wedding and destroy my yard."
Lin Shoufu's face was gloomy: "Did she do it?"
Then he stared at Lin Yaxian coldly and said, "Just tell me, did you do it?"
Lin Yaxian's face turned pale: "Dad..."
Before she could finish her words, Prime Minister Lin slapped her in the face with a loud slap.
Lin Yaxian was stunned for a moment, and finally her face turned pale with fright, and she dared not say a word.
The old father never hits people, but now he hits her, which shows how angry he is at the moment.
Lin Shoufu pressed on: "Let me ask you again, did you do this?"
Lin Yaxian bit her lips tightly: "......"
"Old man, you are crazy." Madam Lin grabbed him and said angrily, "So what if she did it? Xian'er was just angry for a moment, and she didn't bump into him in the end, right?"
"It didn't happen at all, but the Shen family came to our house to act wild and crazy. Do they take our Lin family seriously? Do they take you, old master, seriously?"
"Not only did he go crazy, he even went to the government office to cause trouble. What does he want? He wants to bring Xian'er to court? He really doesn't give you any face at all."
"Shut up! You're just a bunch of idiots!" Prime Minister Lin stared at Madam Lin. "If it weren't for you, how could she and Yating have such selfish and vicious personalities?"
Madam Lin frowned and said, "Lin Zhongwen, if it weren't for the support of my family, you wouldn't have made it this far! And now you're yelling at me!"
Lin Shoufu was so angry that he said, "How have I wronged you in the past few decades? How have I failed to meet your expectations?"
Old Madam Lin choked up. Prime Minister Lin really did nothing wrong to her.
Even though he had several concubines, she still came first in everything. Even if she had a concubine's son, he had been separated from the family early on, and all the family property belonged to her legitimate line.
Prime Minister Lin shook his head, turned around and left with a gloomy face.
......
After Prime Minister Lin left, he went to the Dingguo Marquis's mansion to apologize to Dingguo Marquis and Old Madam Shen.
Let Marquis Dingguo give him some face and not make it so embarrassing by bringing the matter to court.
Madam Shen said with a sullen face: "Over the years, she has been playing tricks, scaring Manbao so much that he doesn't even dare to return to the capital. We have tolerated her for so many years, isn't that enough to give you face, Old Lin?"
"And last time when Caiping first came to Beijing, she hired someone to slander Caiping outside, and then there was the plum blossom banquet incident. One by one, did we give you face?"
"Humph, we can't let this matter rest today!"
After hearing what she said, Prime Minister Lin felt so ashamed that he no longer had the face to ask for peace.
After returning home, it was impossible to really send Lin Yaxian to court, so Lin Yaxian's maid Shangxue was sent there.
Shangxue took the blame and said that no one instructed her to do so. It was she who couldn't bear to see Shen Zhiyan marrying a new wife, so she took the initiative to bribe the funeral procession and try to disrupt the wedding.
In the end, Shangxue was beaten with twenty sticks and then knelt in front of the Shen family's door to apologize.
The people in the capital were amazed when they heard this. They were not pushovers. They thought that the maid acted on her own. It was obvious that it was Mr. Shen's ex-wife who was causing trouble.
He actually wanted to use a funeral procession to crash into someone else's sedan chair. How could he be so vicious!
Lin Family——
All the people in the Lin family stood in the hall. Eunuch Yu looked at Lin Yaxian coldly:
"Lin Yaxian failed to discipline her servants, the Queen Mother is furious, slap her twenty times!"
As she spoke, a maid came forward, grabbed Lin Yaxian and started beating her left and right.
Old Madam Lin was so angry that she almost fainted, but she stood aside and dared not say a word.
“Pah, pah, pah—”
After twenty consecutive hits, Lin Yaxian's mouth was full of blood and a tooth fell out.
It was not until Eunuch Yu and his party left that Old Lady Lin rushed over: "Xian'er... Xian'er... call the doctor! Call the doctor quickly!"
Lin Shoufu said coldly: "Come here, pack up Lin Yaxian's things and send her back home."
Lin Yaxian's face changed drastically, and she no longer cared about her current embarrassment: "Dad... don't chase me away..."
"Grandpa, you are crazy! Lizhou is so far away. It takes a month by boat... I won't allow it!" Old Madam Lin hugged Lin Yaxian tightly.
Lin Shoufu said coldly: "Then I will give her another choice. One, return to her hometown Lizhou, two, become a nun at Chuyun Temple."
Lin Yaxian's body softened.
Madam Lin cried, "How can you be so cruel! She is your own daughter! I won't agree."
"If you don't agree, then go back with her. Or become a nun together. I won't stop you. Come, lock Lin Yaxian in the room. Send her back to her hometown, Lizhou, tomorrow. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of Lizhou. Otherwise, I will sever all ties with you!"
