She applied it randomly, but she knew where it hurt. The ointment was colorless, and the blue marks on it were no longer visible when she applied it.
Lin's father, who was standing by, was also frightened. He was stunned as if he was meeting his eldest son for the first time. Based on Lin Su's behavior just now, he really suspected that if his step-wife did not agree, he would strangle her to death and disguise it as a sudden death.
And his filial piety towards his father was just a pretense.
"How did you learn to be so cruel?" Lin's father was heartbroken.
Lin Su looked at him with a smile: "Of course it's because your father didn't teach him well."
Father Lin was furious, but he couldn't do anything about him. If he really reported him, he was sure that the man would dare to attack his own brother. "Forget it, I'll just pretend that I never gave birth to a son like you."
"Father is very understanding, that's great." Lin Su said with a smile, "We'll just be strangers in the inner courtyard. If you're outside, please consider my second brother and your dignity. If you're not used to living here, I can also find another house for you two. If you're not used to living in the capital, I can let you go back to Qinghe Mansion for one or two minor mistakes. Goodbye."
Since he held this official position, he naturally had the ability. The last word was truly like a pardon. The second wife who was smeared with medicine quickly stood up, helped Master Lin and left.
They walked so fast that others would think there was a wolf chasing them.
As they left Lin Su's courtyard, Qing Tang returned with a painting and calligraphy in his arms. When they met, Qing Tang bowed and said, "Master, Madam."
He has not been married yet, so he can only be called this.
Seeing his respectful behavior, the second wife thought he was much more harmless than the one in the courtyard. She said with a smile, "Qing Tang is back from outside. Look at how sweaty his forehead is. Why didn't he ask a servant to help hold it? Go back and rest quickly. Don't get tired."
Qing Tang had never felt such an attitude from her before, and was rather flattered: "It's okay, you and the master should also have a good rest."
Seeing these two people coming out of their yard in panic, what did the young master do to them?
With some questions, Qing Tang politely said goodbye to the two of them. When he entered the courtyard, everything was normal. Lin Su was looking at something at the table.
Qing Tang placed the calligraphy and painting on the table and said, "Master, I've got the painting you requested."
"Look at this time, did you run into your parents on the way back?" Lin Su looked up and asked.
Qing Tang was about to ask something, but it stopped him. "What did you say to them? Madam's attitude changed so suddenly."
"I said something to clear her mind. Don't worry." Lin Su reached out and held the person in his arms. "You came back and cared about them first. Why don't you care about me, the young master?"
Qing Tang was caught off guard and put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Because I have the impression that only the young master can bully others, so I can only worry about others."
06 agreed: [Xiao Qing Tang really sees the essence through the phenomenon. ]
"Be good." Lin Su patted his head and said with a smile.
Lin Su completed his teaching task quite well, and Emperor Zhaoyang could clearly feel that he had less worries than before: "My dear minister, you are truly a loyal minister to me. You are really willing to share my worries. This time, I am relieved of my worries. If there are new officials coming up in the future, my dear minister must continue to do his best."
"Your Majesty, I truly cannot form a clique for personal gain." Lin Su said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please give me a way out."
He began to refuse again, but Emperor Zhaoyang said slowly, "You must be consistent in what you do. Otherwise, it means that your sincerity in helping your family member escape from the clan is not enough."
"A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold. Your Majesty is a king, and even more so a gentleman. A king would never joke about his words." Lin Su directly cut off Emperor Zhaoyang's way of cheating.
Emperor Zhaoyang squinted at him and said, "What if I really don't admit it?"
Lin Su smiled calmly and said, "I cannot threaten Your Majesty by banging my head against the pillar. I can only accept my fate."
He said he accepted his fate, but his attitude did not seem to be one of acceptance. The promise had already been made. If he could not fulfill it after others achieved their wishes, he would lose the trust of that person, and he would also lose this close minister.
Since ancient times, if the emperor wanted his subjects to die, the subjects had to die. However, Lin Su was the first person in history who could give Emperor Zhaoyang such a great deterrent power while in the position of a subject.
"Forget it, the promises I made will naturally count, so that you don't think that I often break my promises." Emperor Zhaoyang glanced at him unhappily.
When the imperial edict was issued, Qing Tang knelt down to listen to it. When he received the edict, he knelt there like a clay sculpture and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Qing Tang, thank you." Lin Su reminded.
Qing Tang came back to his senses and knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
The imperial edict was like the emperor himself coming, and everyone in the Lin family had to kneel down and kowtow. Qing Tang was still delighted as he held the imperial edict, but Lin's father and step-wife were in mixed feelings.
It wasn't a period of general amnesty, but His Majesty had personally issued a decree to remove Qing Tang's status as a slave, allowing him to take the imperial examinations like ordinary citizens. It was difficult to remove the status of a slave, but to get His Majesty to do so, Lin Su didn't know how much effort he had put into it.
Under your majesty's gracious decree, no one else can bring up Qing Tang's former lowly status anymore, otherwise it would be disobeying your majesty's decree and being disrespectful to the emperor.
"Zhiyuan is truly sincere to Qing Tang. He was even able to obtain such a gracious decree, which shows how much His Majesty favors him." The second wife smiled, "You must be more diligent in the future and be loyal at all times."
No matter what she thought behind her back, she had to put on a good show on the surface. After all, Lin Su's threat at the time was truly unforgettable.
After the second wife said this, Qing Tang came to his senses. He certainly didn't have such a great merit to be pardoned by His Majesty. The only way he could get away with it was because of what the young master did.
"Thank you, young master." Qing Tang stared at him with sparkling eyes. When Lin Su left the main hall, he followed closely.
Lin Su remained calm, feeling the gaze following him. As he descended the stairs, he leaned over and hugged Qing Tang, who had nearly fallen because he hadn't lowered his head to look at the road. He smiled and said, "Even if you truly admire your young master, you should at least pay a little attention to the road."
Qing Tang held onto his arm to steady himself, his ears already red. "I just think the young master is amazing. Has His Majesty given you any trouble? The young master works so hard for me. I don't know how I can ever repay him."
Lin Su led him to his courtyard. After they entered the room and closed the doors and windows, Lin Su placed the imperial edict on the table. Seeing Qing Tang's confused face, he said, "Don't you know how to repay me? Do you still remember what you learned in the brothel?"
Qing Tang no longer had any trace of worldly virtue, but the beatings and teachings he received during that time were deeply ingrained in his bones. Even in his dreams at night, he could not forget them. "What does the young master mean?"
"All the skills you learned in the past have been used on me. From tomorrow on, you can say goodbye to the past." Lin Su said in a high-sounding manner.
In fact, I just want to see the most unruly and naughty side of a well-behaved child.
