After Wu Qingjin finished speaking, she felt the air in the East Warm Pavilion grow even colder.
Madam Lin stared at her, a half-smile on her face: "Seeing how confident you are, you must have evidence. Show me the evidence."
Wu Qingjin was taken aback: "Evidence? What need is there for evidence for something so obvious? Qiao Zhizhi became pregnant out of nowhere, doesn't that prove everything?"
"If you can't produce any evidence, you're just stirring up trouble and distorting the truth. I'm afraid you might be able to enter the Lin family, but you won't be able to leave this house." Madam Lin's tone suddenly became stern.
Wu Qingjin's expression changed instantly.
"Madam Lin, are you saying this to me? I'm here to tell you in good faith that Qiao Zhizhi is immoral and dishonest. I'm cleaning up trouble for your Lin family so that she won't tarnish your family's reputation and make your family unable to hold its head high in the future. Why are you speaking so harshly to me?"
Madam Lin sneered, "You know perfectly well what you're thinking. My daughter-in-law's pregnancy is a great joy, a sign of God's blessing that my son has recovered quickly. My son is taking a bowl of bitter medicine every day without fail. You, an outsider, don't know the truth, yet you come to our Lin family to spread rumors and cause trouble. How dare you! You don't respect the Lin family at all."
The third young mistress is pregnant. Only she and the master know about it. The old master and the old lady are still in the dark and plan to tell them when the pregnancy is more advanced.
It must have been this malicious woman who went to Qiao Zhizhi and made sarcastic remarks, causing her to reveal this matter prematurely.
She felt that Qiao Zhizhi did the right thing; it was a good thing, and there was no problem in spreading the word.
Two weeks ago, Qiao Zhizhi was diagnosed with pregnancy. The doctor couldn't believe it at all, saying that a miracle had happened, that the Third Young Master's body had been completely restored, and that they would not only have this child, but also children later.
Heaven knows how happy she was; she went to the temple to fulfill her vow.
But since the pregnancy is still in its early stages, it's generally best not to disclose it to the best of a precaution.
That vicious Wu Qingjin is using this kind of thing to show off again. If there are any problems with her daughter-in-law's pregnancy, she will blame it all on the Wu family.
In Madam Lin's heart, Qiao Zhizhi was the one who brought good fortune to the Lin family. As her mother-in-law, she would take good care of her and never let her suffer the slightest grievance.
Wu Qingjin felt a thunderous boom above her head, as if a bolt of lightning had struck her.
So it turns out that Madam Lin already knew Qiao Zhizhi was pregnant, and that the Third Young Master Lin's ailment was cured?
How is that possible? A person who can't have children suddenly becomes able to? Is there such a fantastical story?
"Mrs. Lin, are you sure? What if Qiao Zhizhi bribed the doctor to deceive you? If you don't clean up this mess now before your belly gets big, who knows how the high-ranking families in the capital will laugh at the Lin family when it can no longer be hidden?"
Seeing that she was so unruly, Madam Lin's face turned extremely ugly.
She didn't want to say anything more, so she clapped her hands and immediately sent several shadow guards through the doors and windows.
"Lock them in the dungeon."
"Steward Feng, send someone to the Wu family and tell them that Wu Qingjin came to the Lin family to sow discord, spread rumors and slander. Tell them to take a stand, otherwise the Lin family will deal with her themselves."
Qiao Lian'er felt relieved. Madam Lin was completely protective of Qiao Zhizhi, treating her almost like her own flesh and blood. How could she be so easily swayed by a few words from others?
Yes, Madam Lin was originally disheartened by Lin Songyan's health condition, but now that Qiao Zhizhi has brought good news, Madam Lin no longer regards her as just an ordinary daughter-in-law.
