Chapter 423 The loofah hanging on the wall is empty
"Is this really true?" Zhou covered her mouth with a handkerchief in surprise, her face pale.
Even his fingers were trembling slightly.
Anyone who saw it would see a look of hurt and pain in disbelief.
Only God knows how happy she is at this moment.
Lin Tingye's expression suddenly changed. He rushed forward and slapped Lin Tingxuan fiercely, cursing, "Bitch, who allowed you to talk nonsense in front of my wife?
If you harm her or the baby in her womb, I will skin you alive!"
He hurriedly turned his head and looked at Zhou and said, "Madam, she has gone crazy and bites anyone she catches. You must not believe what she says."
Zhou nodded, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "My husband, please don't say that. After all, my aunt is your sister, born of the same mother as you. She is your flesh and blood."
Lin Tingye said with disgust, "If possible, I would rather mother had only given birth to us two brothers."
Lin Tingfeng listened silently, neither agreeing nor refuting.
In Lin Tingxuan's view, it was a tacit agreement.
Second brother also thinks that it’s better without a sister like her, right?
Lin Tingxuan shed silent tears and opened her mouth to say something, but she felt her heart aching more and more. She was so sad that she fainted.
Seeing her fall limply to the ground, Zhou cried out, "Hurry up and send the third young lady back to Lanxuan Courtyard."
Lin Tingye embraced her and said in a firm tone, "From now on, there will only be two young masters in this family, and there will be no so-called third young lady."
Zhou gently covered her chest and said in disbelief, "Is my husband going to remove my aunt from the family?"
Her expression suddenly turned ugly, and she grabbed his sleeve and begged, "My husband, please think twice. My aunt is still a member of the Lin family, and those evil servants in the manor dare to torture her like this.
By doing this, you are forcing her to die!"
Zhou's words were half true and half false, but they did contain some affection.
But it was not because of the relationship between the two as sister-in-law, but because they were both women and had many difficulties surviving in this world.
Otherwise, just because she had deliberately provoked others in the past and caused her to be disliked by her mother-in-law and despised by her husband, she should wish her to go to hell and boil in oil.
Isn't her current situation her own fault?
Lin Tingye flicked his sleeves and said with a resentful look, "If she is still willing to acknowledge me as her brother, she should have drunk the wine sent by the second brother before the New Year to save some dignity for herself.
Now that things have gotten this bad, even if she were to die right now, even if she died a thousand or ten thousand times, it wouldn't stop people from laughing at our Lin family in the future."
When he got excited, Lin Tingye's face turned red, he covered his chest and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
Zhou hurriedly supported him and asked with concern, "Husband, are you okay?"
Lin Tingye shook his head and glared at Lin Tingxuan lying on the ground. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Tingfeng ask, "Is the General's Mansion now entirely under the control of my eldest brother?"
Lin Tingye's body suddenly stiffened.
Zhou was startled for a moment, then smiled apologetically, "What are you talking about, Second Uncle? When you're not around, it's always my mother-in-law who's in charge of the household. Every day, no matter big or small, we have to ask her for permission."
She glanced at Lin Tingye, who seemed frightened and unable to answer for a moment, and cursed him in her heart for not living up to her expectations. She said, "My husband usually just likes to stay in the yard reading and doesn't care about other things. My second uncle knows about this."
Lin Tingfeng glanced at her and said in a cold voice, "I didn't ask you, why are you talking so much?"
Hearing that he didn't even bother to use the honorific, Zhou couldn't help but look cold and said angrily, "Second Uncle, I know you don't like me. You think your eldest brother and I are not a good match. You think our Zhou family is marrying up to your general's mansion.
But don’t forget, when I first married into the General’s Mansion, it was far from what it is today.”
Seeing that Lin Tingfeng had no intention of stopping her, she continued with a sullen face, "Since I entered the mansion, my mother-in-law has been keeping the housekeeping power firmly in her hands, claiming that I am still young and cannot manage the household."
Lin Tingye covered his chest, frowned, and scolded: "Zhou, what nonsense are you talking about? We haven't separated from the family. This family should be managed by mother."
"Yes, mother-in-law, I have no complaints, but since we got married, I have never seen my husband's monthly salary once."
Zhou curled her lips sarcastically, tears rolling down her eyes. "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Second Uncle, but after all these years of marriage, I still don't even know how much your eldest brother's monthly allowance is."
"What are you talking about? If you dare to slander your mother again, I will divorce you!" Lin Tingye was furious.
He raised his hand, wanting to slap Zhou hard, but she dodged it by gently turning her head.
Zhou wiped away the tears from her eyes and said calmly, "If my husband thinks everything I said is false, then so be it. Anyway, I've had enough of this general's mansion. Please divorce me."
If she cried and made a fuss, or pulled his clothes and begged him like she used to, Lin Tingye would definitely agree without hesitation.
Because for a woman as dull and boring as her, his mother wouldn't even have to worry about it and could just marry him another one, whose family background might even be much higher than Zhou's.
But she was so calm, as if she didn't care about being divorced by him, which made him unable to say the word "OK" no matter what.
Not to mention, she is now pregnant with his only child.
Lin Tingye's eyebrows twitched rapidly. He suppressed his anger and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're still pregnant. If I divorce you now, how will others look at me?"
Zhou looked at him coldly without saying anything.
If she didn't know she had no way out, she really wanted to be like Song Yanxi and completely break off relations with this group of evil spirits in human skin.
So, it’s not the time yet.
Knowing that she was the softest-hearted, Lin Tingye held her shoulders with both hands and said gently, "Second brother was just asking casually, not saying anything against you on purpose. Look why you are still angry.
You're pregnant now, and the doctor told you to rest and not get angry for the next few months."
Looking at his eyes full of tenderness, Zhou almost thought that this was what her husband should be like.
But she knew it wasn't.
The reason why he treated her well was entirely because of the piece of meat in her belly.
Because he really can't have children.
He had seen all the doctors with some experience in Beijing, and even asked questions of the unreliable street doctors whom he usually didn't even bother to look at when he passed by. He had to cover his face with something.
The results obtained are without exception.
He indulged in beauty all year round under the pretext of studying. It was not enough for him to have two concubines at home and mistresses outside. From time to time, he would go to brothels with his friends who claimed to be elegant people to seek pleasure.
After a while, your health will naturally deteriorate.
Not to mention, she, the magnanimous wife, had found two prostitutes for him years ago who performed in brothels but did not sell their bodies, and had learned the skills to serve people.
Now Lin Tingye's body is like the loofah hanging on the wall, empty of flesh.
The baby in her belly, whether it is a boy or a girl, will be his only child in this life. How can he bear to give it up?
Zhou smiled, but her eyes were cold. "Second uncle's casual remark is nothing serious. But for a woman, reputation is paramount. If today's incident gets out, how will I live my life in the future?"
