A very strange smell came from the small woodshed.
The smell is indescribable, and anyone who smells it will gag.
"lady."
Luo Shui walked in carefully through the door. Her legs had completely healed and she could walk briskly now.
After looking around to make sure there was no one around, he fell into the water and shouted to the broken figure inside.
"Ma'am! The water is on today!"
The haggard woman slowly stood up, and her bones made crackling sounds as she stood up. Every joint was very obvious. When she raised her skull-like eyes, it was discovered that only a layer of skin was left on her body.
The eyes and face of the skull were just empty. When she saw the man falling into the water, she pounced on him like a beast and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"Fall in the water! Water...water...water..."
Luo Shui's expression was unpredictable. Looking at Lin, who was no longer a human being on the ground, he pursed his lips and did not rush to give her the water for today. Instead, he squatted down and asked Lin:
"Ma'am, don't be anxious."
"Do you remember what day it is today?"
“Today… today…”
The voice that came out of her throat was very hoarse. Her face did not have the glory of the past. Her eyes moved rapidly and she kept muttering.
“Today… today…”
Without telling her in a hurry, Luo Shui smiled with deep eyes, took out the familiar porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Lin.
"Drink, ma'am."
The string in his mind suddenly broke, and Lin grabbed the drink and gulped it down.
After drinking, she looked at Luo Shui with anticipation, and held the porcelain bottle with both hands to Luo Shui.
"Today, there's nothing more..."
For so long, she has been surviving only on the little water brought by the drowning every day. It is said that Lin is really able to survive. She has not eaten for such a long time, but she can still live until now.
The wood was covered in her bite marks; she was so hungry she was willing to eat anything.
Luo Shui blinked his eyes, put the bottle away, and his smiling face gradually became serious.
"Madam, you have been in the mansion for fourteen years."
As if missing someone, he looked towards the distant horizon after falling into the water
"Fourteen years, but unfortunately there is no future."
Lin was stunned for a moment before she could react. Then her heart started beating fast. She raised her head and looked at the man who fell into the water.
"What does this mean..."
He also raised his head, fell into the water, sighed, and put the porcelain bottle in his arms.
"On this day seven years ago, you fed the late princess the final dose of the chronic poison, causing her death."
"Seven years later, Princess, do you have any regrets?"
"Same result, same day. This is the best gift for you, Princess."
After saying that, Luo Shui ignored Lin's surprise, opened the door and walked out.
After closing the door of the woodshed, the sky outside was bright.
She has packed her luggage and will be able to leave in the afternoon.
The water that has been used to sustain life is a chronic poison.
Lin, how could you have thought of that?
You will die, but it will be a more painful death.
A scream that shattered the eardrums suddenly came from the woodshed.
Everything returned to calm.
…
"Father! Father!"
Lin Song hugged the old minister's legs and knelt on the ground, begging
"Father! You can't do this! Father!"
Lin Qingshan is dead, and the sin that should have resulted in the extermination of his entire clan was averted by a prophecy by Xu Qingyi.
The old minister was dismissed from office, but Lin Song was promoted because of his contribution in blocking Lin Qingshan's plan.
All descendants of the Lin family were not allowed to serve as officials, with the exception of Lin Song's generation.
Suddenly, Lin Song seemed to be the hope of the Lin family, but unexpectedly, his career rose step by step, but there was still no hope for his marriage.
If he cannot have children, even if he is the only one with a bright future, it will all be fleeting.
After persuasion failed, the old minister was probably very angry. He moved the tablet of Lin Song's mother and was about to smash it to the ground. His face turned red with anger.
"I'm telling you! The Minister's family doesn't mind our downtrodden state and is willing to marry their daughter to you! Just take it!"
"Who are you showing off to, you act like this every day? It's been two years since that woman died! You've been holding vigil for her for two years! Can't you forget that filthy woman?"
"If you don't marry Miss Zhao this time, both your mother and you will have to get out of my house! There will be no chance that your names will appear in the family tree!"
"Your mother's tablet is useless! It's better to break it up as soon as possible! Burn it in the kitchen! You won't get to see you get married!"
He was about to break the tablet after he finished speaking. Lin Song looked at it anxiously and wanted to get up to grab it but he missed. His lips were blue and purple and his whole body was shaking. He was a little confused about why the old minister did this.
"Mother...Mother always loved you in the end! Father! How could you treat her like this!"
"You've never even looked at your mother straight in the eye in your entire life! Why couldn't you let her rest in peace even after she died?"
"She did nothing wrong! It's all my fault! Father!"
But these words did not reach the old minister's ears at all, and he did not relax his hands at all as he folded the tablet.
When Lin Song watched the wooden planks on the memorial tablet begin to break, his pupils suddenly contracted, he fell to the ground, and his voice was hoarse.
"I will marry! Father! I will marry!"
"I'm going to marry Miss Zhao..."
He seemed to have cried out loud, and those tears fell on the ground in big drops, but the old minister ignored him. Instead, he nodded with satisfaction and patted Lin Song's shoulder.
"Father has always placed high hopes on you. You must not let me down and make the Lin family flourish again as soon as possible."
…
The wedding of the Lin and Zhao families is scheduled for three days later.
In the attic on the second floor, Uncle Song was holding the babbling Xu Songyin, and his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
At the tea table in the distance, Xu Qingyi and Gu Qingsheng sat opposite each other. Xu Qingyi reached out to fill the teapot for Gu Qingsheng, and then carefully picked out the tea stains on it for her.
"It's been cold lately, so the taste of these old teas seems a bit bland."
Gu Qingsheng looked at the cup of tea in front of him, closed his eyes and sighed.
"Tea is another matter. What I fear is that people are dull and indifferent. What I fear is that things and people have changed."
When she said this, Xu Qingyi knew what Gu Qingsheng was thinking and patted the back of her hand.
"But are you thinking about Master Lin's matter?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Gu Qingsheng's expression said it all.
"Lin Song has been keeping vigil for An Yi and has no intention of remarrying. Now that two years have passed, it would be a good idea for him to marry."
"I'm afraid that this old minister has used some method to get him to agree. I'm afraid that he's still unwilling in his heart, and something will go wrong..."
“Knock knock.”
While he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Uncle Song, who was originally teasing the child, suddenly became unhappy, got up to open the door, and muttered
"Who is here in broad daylight...disrupting my business..."
Reluctantly opening the door, Lin Song and a young woman stood shoulder to shoulder outside.
