It was dusk and it was not time to turn on the lights yet, but the vision was already blurred. There were many people standing in Mr. Lin's living room, which made the feeling even more depressing.
Mrs. Lin looked at Fang Jinxiu and sighed.
"Ms. Fang, my husband is really not at home." She said, "Ms. Jun hasn't been here either."
"I saw them talking and walking together with my own eyes." Fang Jinxiu said, "Mrs. Lin, are you saying that I'm lying?"
Mrs. Lin looked helpless and a little angry.
"I dare not accuse you of lying, Miss Fang." She said, "It's just that I don't know what else Miss Jun has to say to my husband."
No matter what, Lin Jin'er is also the biological daughter of Lin Zhubu. Even though she was the one who harmed others first, she ended up suffering a terrible fate. As the saying goes, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Not only did Lin Zhubu not protect and avenge her, he had to send his daughter to the family temple.
Despite all the explanations and cover-ups, Lin Jiner's affair could not be concealed, bringing shame to the Lin family.
For the Lin family, they were forced into this by Miss Jun. Even though they could suppress their hatred, they absolutely did not want to have any further contact with her.
Fang Jinxiu was not ashamed of the hidden meaning in Mrs. Lin's words.
"I also think they have nothing to say, but since they have said it, then there must be something they need to say." She said, "I told Madam Lin frankly that I didn't know what it was. I believe Madam Lin didn't know either, so please ask Lord Lin to come out. I didn't ask Lord Lin what it was, just to tell me where Miss Jun went. After all, it was getting late and she hadn't returned home yet."
Mrs. Lin's expression changed for a moment.
"I really don't know." She said, "You know, something happened in the county recently. Magistrate Li was arrested, and other people in the county government were also detained and questioned. The old man hasn't left the house for several days. Today, Magistrate Ma announced the lifting of the ban, so the old man went out."
She paused here, a little hesitant.
"Why did he go out?" Fang Jinxiu noticed her hesitation and asked immediately.
Mrs. Lin sighed inwardly, looking at this aggressive little girl. In the past, she would never have thought that she would face such questioning from a girl, and a businessman at that.
To be honest, although she obeyed Lin Zhubu's decision on Lin Jiner, she was very dissatisfied in her heart.
But now she has no resentment.
Just as the young lady of the Fang family said at the door just now. The Fang family, that is, the one who mobilized the troops of Shanxi and Henan and the officials of the two prefectures, smashed the gate of the county government, captured the county magistrate, and just let the people of Yangcheng watch an execution that did not turn around after three cuts.
The Fang family is really not to be messed with.
Mrs. Lin sighed.
"Ms. Fang, I really don't know." She said, and paused. "The master just said that there was something, but he didn't tell me what it was. It was inconvenient for me to ask."
Something happened.
There must be something wrong. Sure enough, there is something wrong.
Fang Jinxiu took a deep breath.
"Where did he go?" she asked.
Mrs. Lin shook her head.
"Master didn't say." she said.
Fang Jinxiu looked at her, and Mrs. Lin also looked at her calmly.
"Did he say whether he would come back today?" Chen Qi interrupted.
Mrs. Lin's expression paused slightly.
"He said he wouldn't come back," she said. Then she shook her head hastily, "But I really don't know where he went."
Chen Qi chuckled.
"Mrs. Lin, this is what a wife does. You don't even know where your husband has gone." He laughed.
Mrs. Lin's face flushed, and she looked at Chen Qi with anger in her eyes.
If it weren't for the "Fang Family", this poor guy wouldn't even be able to stand in front of her, let alone say such arrogant words.
"Then Madam Lin, could you please tell us where Chief Clerk Lin might have gone?" Fang Jinxiu said.
Mrs. Lin clenched her clasped hands tightly.
What do you mean? Are they going to search the houses or round up people? Who do you think you are?
But she didn't dare say it out loud.
Because the Fang family really dared to carry out the act of raiding the house and rounding up people, and they really did it.
The county government office was smashed, so she didn’t dare to say that the Lin family’s house was stronger than the county government office.
"He, I really don't know, maybe he is in the government office." Mrs. Lin said slowly, gritting her teeth.
Before she could finish her words, a maid came in hurriedly and whispered something in Mrs. Lin's ear.
Fang Jinxiu saw Mrs. Lin's expression suddenly change, and her gaze towards her suddenly became sharp, as if the lights in the room were suddenly turned on.
"Ms. Fang." She raised her voice, the fear she had originally felt disappeared, replaced by a cold and disdainful tone. "I forgot to ask, are you looking for my master, or is it the Fang family?"
Fang Jinxiu's heart skipped a beat as she understood.
The fact that he was kicked out of the Fang family was exposed.
"What's the difference?" Chen Qigan laughed, and took a step closer to Fang Jinxiu, holding the bamboo pole tightly in his hand. "Miss Fang's question is the Fang family's question."
Mrs. Lin smiled coldly.
"Really?" she said, "But I heard that Miss Fang San has been kicked out of the Fang family."
As she said this, the maids and servants in the room, who had been shivering in fear, straightened their backs.
"You are trying to deceive people by using the name of Fang family." Madam Lin sneered and waved her hand, "Catch her for me."
The maids and servants immediately surrounded them in a domineering manner.
"Don't move." Chen Qi shouted and swung the bamboo pole in his hand.
The grass circle on it was thrown down and hit the maids who had gathered around, causing them to scream and retreat.
Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Qi jumped over and held Mrs. Lin's neck with a bamboo pole.
Mrs. Lin screamed.
"Don't move." Chen Qi shouted, "Everyone step back."
The maids and servants were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Mrs. Lin just kept screaming, but the capable maids quickly waved their hands and asked everyone to retreat.
"Let's talk it over nicely." They said in a trembling voice.
Although a bamboo pole is not a knife, Chen Qi is a man. Men are strong, so it is not impossible for him to strangle someone to death with a bamboo pole.
Fang Jinxiu looked at Chen Qi with a complicated expression and wanted to say something but didn't say anything.
"What do you want to do? Are you going to rob? Do you think you can get away?" Mrs. Lin screamed.
"Mrs. Lin, I don't mean anything else. I just want to know where Chief Clerk Lin is?" Fang Jinxiu took a deep breath and said woodenly.
"Why should my husband care about you?" Mrs. Lin shouted.
"I said I was looking for Miss Jun, and the Fang family was also looking for her." Fang Jinxiu said.
As for the people from the Fang family, Mrs. Lin smiled instead.
Now she is not afraid at all, even if someone puts a bamboo pole against her neck, she is not afraid.
Fang Jinxiu was also in Jinyun Tower at the time. She was also involved in the murder of her daughter. Since she couldn't do anything to Miss Jun, could she not beat up this fallen dog who was driven out of the Fang family?
"Fang family, Fang Jinxiu, your biological mother harmed the young master of the Fang family and wanted to cut off the incense of the Fang family. I really don't know what relationship you have with the Fang family." Mrs. Lin sneered and grabbed the bamboo pole. "I tell you, you are no longer a member of the Fang family. Don't use the banner of the Fang family to scare people. You said that the Fang family was looking for someone, why didn't the Fang family come? Instead, they let you, who harmed the Fang family, come? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Fang Jinxiu clenched her fists and bit her lower lip.
Will people from the Fang family come?
Will they believe their own words?
Do you believe that you have met Miss Jun and Master Lin?
Or maybe she suspected like Liu'er that she was causing trouble on purpose and sparking a conflict between the Fang and Lin families.
"I tell you, even if you kill me, you will never be able to leave the Lin family!" Mrs. Lin screamed and grabbed the bamboo pole in hysteria.
The crazy woman almost made Chen Qi fall down.
"If you don't get out of the way, I'll kill her." He also grabbed her hard and roared.
Mrs. Lin screamed and rolled her eyes.
The maids and servants in the house hurriedly made way.
"Go away, go away." Chen Qi shouted to Fang Jinxiu.
Fang Jinxiu looked at him motionlessly.
"Go? Where to?" she said with a smile.
Chen Qi stared anxiously.
"You can go wherever you want," he said.
Fang Jinxiu looked at the maids in the room, and at the people from the Lin family who had rushed in after hearing the noise outside, and smiled again.
Even if I go out, what's the point?
"Don't worry about me, just beat her to death!" Mrs. Lin screamed.
Avenge Jin'er. Avenge Jin'er.
After all, Chen Qi was holding a bamboo pole, not a knife. The male servants of the Lin family rushed in and rushed over, and the maids and servants also took the opportunity to rush over to Fang Jinxiu. In the midst of the chaos, there was a noise outside.
"Madam, madam, something bad has happened. The Fang family has surrounded our house."
The people in the room suddenly froze and the noise disappeared.
Someone from the Fang family?
Everyone quieted down, and then they could hear the noise outside and the torches that were lit like a fire setting half the sky on fire.
Bang, bang, bang.
A loud noise came from outside. It was the sound of someone banging on the door. The Lin family's door was not as strong as the county government's door. After three hits, there was a loud bang.
I guess the door was knocked down.
Mrs. Lin's face was pale and bloodless, with horror in her eyes.
Are the people from the Fang family really here?
The people from the Fang family really came.
Fang Jinxiu lowered her head, her tense body slowly relaxed, and a tear fell on the back of her hand.
