Chapter 597 No, I don’t regret it
Mrs. Lin's eyes suddenly turned red, and she asked with trembling teeth, "Feng'er, what do you mean by this?"
Lin Tingfeng said expressionlessly, "Some things are too harsh to be said. It's better for you and me, mother and son, to understand each other."
As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Lin's face suddenly turned ashen.
Seeing his mother's eyes full of regret but not wanting to explain to him, Lin Tingfeng said disappointedly: "Mother, I am not a fool."
Madam Lin blurted out, "You are the child I am most proud of. How could you be a fool?"
"But you have treated me like a fool for so many years."
"Feng'er, mother didn't say anything. Don't listen to the nonsense those gossipers out there say."
Lin Tingfeng asked with a cold face, "Can you swear to heaven that you have never done anything to let your father down?"
"I……"
"I swear on my future and my brother's life, do you dare?"
Madam Lin's pupils suddenly shrank, and she cursed angrily, "You bastard, are you trying to piss me off to death?"
She had lived half her life relying on the hope that the two brothers would become nobles and ministers.
We can’t rely on the eldest brother right now. With his poor health, it’s hard to say how many years he can live.
This was her only hope, yet he still said such hurtful words to her. Wasn't he trying to kill her?
Thinking back on the difficulties she had gone through over the years, Mrs. Lin didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.
She collapsed on the bed powerlessly, mumbling, "Retribution, it's all retribution."
If she had not been possessed by evil spirits at the beginning, she would not have done such an immoral thing in a fit of rage in order to take revenge on Lin Zhongquan.
Or maybe after finding out she was pregnant, she didn't listen to Lin Zhongquan's instigation and had Xuan'er aborted.
Will everything be different?
No, she doesn't regret it.
Madam Lin's eyes became firm. She turned her head and stared at Lin Tingfeng intently, speaking each word very slowly, "I don't regret it."
Lin Tingfeng's face turned even colder. "What did you say?"
Madam Lin: "I said, I don't regret it."
Facing her son's angry and disappointed eyes, Madam Lin said resentfully, "It was Lin Zhongquan who wronged me first. Now that he has betrayed me, why should he expect me to remain a widow for him?"
She stared at Lin Tingfeng and said quietly, "You may not know yet, but when I had difficulty giving birth to you, your father locked him in the room and made him stare at a portrait day and night.
I watched it for three days and three nights without eating or drinking.
As Mrs. Lin spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably. She touched her belly and said, "I gave birth to you for three days and three nights, and I was in pain for three days.
Not only did he not even have a sip of brown sugar water, he also complained that I was shouting too loudly and disturbing his mood, and told me to get away.
Lin Tingfeng frowned and said, "That's all in the past. Why bring it up?"
"Let it go?" Old Madam Lin said angrily, "It won't go. This matter will never go away with me!"
Her eyes were bloodshot, and the hatred in them seemed to be turning into human figures and coming out.
Lin Tingfeng said impatiently: "Father didn't care about your life or death at that time, he just wanted to plan for the future.
You don't want to spend your whole life following a peasant, farming and raising chickens in the countryside, right?"
"Did Mr. Lin tell you that?" Old Madam Lin smiled even more broadly, wiping away her tears and saying, "I called him hypocritical, and I was absolutely right.
He is lustful and greedy for money, yet he insists on saying that he works hard for his wife and children, wanting both face and substance."
"Enough." Lin Tingfeng's face turned pale.
He had no interest in knowing what happened between the two of them.
Smelling the stench that was still lingering even after the windows were opened, Lin Tingfeng frowned and reminded him, "You should control your temper a little. Those servants are also human beings. If you beat and scold them too much, they will inevitably feel emotional.
When serving, naturally, you won’t be as dedicated.”
Madam Lin listened silently until he finished speaking, then she said coldly, "You and your father are really cut from the same cloth."
Lin Tingfeng's face darkened slightly. "Mother, it's better to say less of this kind of foolish things in the future."
"Confused?" Madam Lin sneered, "You and your son both want me to be a confused mute, but I won't."
She smiled and asked, "Feng'er, do you want to know why your father has been stationed in southern Xinjiang for so many years and is unwilling to come home?"
Lin Tingfeng said: "I think mother should know the reason."
Madam Lin's face darkened and she cursed, "You are truly his offspring, just as disgusting."
Facing her curses, Lin Tingfeng remained calm.
Only after she finished scolding him did he coldly remind her, "If Mother is still so difficult to serve, then just keep one maid by her side."
Hearing his threats, Madam Lin laughed in anger, "That Lin must have told you that he felt ashamed because of Xuan'er's existence, so he refused to return to the capital, right?"
Lin Tingfeng remained silent.
Indeed, this is what Lin Zhongquan wrote in his letter.
But he is not a fool either.
He always only believed half of what his father wrote.
As for the matter of his younger sister, he didn't believe his father's words, but he felt that it was not important to him.
She is just a little girl who will be married off to another family when she reaches a certain age. She can only be considered a relative of our family, so we just keep raising her.
But he didn't expect that she had been spoiled by her mother to be so lawless, and she even took advantage of his absence to secretly torture Song Yanxi.
She treated her with all her heart, but she just treated her as a sucker, asking for everything from her, and even called her a bitch in front of the servants.
If she hadn't meddled in the middle, causing Song Yanxi to be disappointed with the General's Mansion, perhaps there would still be a glimmer of hope between them.
He originally wanted to spare her life for the sake of their brother-sister relationship, and send her to a farm to be raised for two years and then find an honest man to marry her off.
Unexpectedly, she ran out without knowing the consequences and spread the news all the way, causing him to become the laughing stock of the whole capital as soon as he returned.
Therefore, she deserved to die.
Old Madam Lin looked at Lin Tingfeng's cold face, and her husband's face appeared in front of her eyes. He was just as unfaithful and heartless.
She watched and suddenly burst into laughter.
I laughed so hard that tears came out.
She laughed and said, "He lied to you and me. This family is worthless to him."
Lin Tingfeng said with a cold face: "Mother, you are the one who did something wrong."
If she had not been unable to bear the loneliness and had an affair, and even had a bastard, her father would not have left for southern Xinjiang in disappointment.
They brothers would not be laughed at behind their backs as fatherless children since they were young.
It was her fault, and they haven't blamed her yet. How can she have the nerve to put the blame on her father?
Guessing his thoughts, Madam Lin smiled even more happily, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "My son, you are not as smart as your father, nor as courageous as him."
Lin Tingfeng's face darkened.
Just when he thought that Madam Lin was confused, he suddenly heard her say, "Anyone who can become the eldest princess's servant must be very capable."
