Chapter 666 A Customer with a Conscience
Old Hu clumsily wiped away his daughter's tears. Although Old Mrs. Lin's actions were too cruel, he had become more magnanimous after searching for his daughter all these years.
If he hadn't insisted on going out to do business and argued with his wife back then, he wouldn't have had to send his daughter to relatives' homes, which ultimately led to this bitter outcome.
"Father, how can this be blamed on you?"
Kind people always tend to look for reasons within themselves, and Old Mrs. Lin certainly felt no remorse whatsoever.
If they had, they wouldn't have broken off contact with the Hu family after Lin Shusheng married into a wealthy family, fearing that their poor relatives would try to take advantage of them.
“Daughter, we can’t have any more ties with the Lin family. Why don’t I take you back to our hometown?”
As for the two grandsons, they should change their surname to Hu, absolutely not following the surname of their enemy. This matter ends here; from now on, the two families should pretend not to know each other.
The Lin family has its own lineage, and they haven't yet recognized Haowen and Haowu as family members, so they probably don't care.
"Father, I still have things to do. Once they're done, we'll go back to the countryside together."
Jiao Niang obediently nodded and stepped forward to help Old Man Hu, but her heart was bleeding. She had already boarded Lin Er Gou's pirate ship, and was now a murderer herself. It was too late, only a few days too late.
If Father had come looking for Qin before she died, the situation would have been completely different.
After the two left, Qin Nanyan took a deep breath. She wanted to ask a few more questions, but in the end, she decided to avoid the topic.
The haunted house left behind by Yu Zicheng exudes a decaying, damp, and eerie atmosphere that sends chills down one's spine.
Fortunately, Lin Yuesha and the others didn't have to wait too long, as Xu Da arrived with their clothes.
Lin Yuesha found a place to change her clothes, covering her nose with her hand. Her previous shoes were so smelly, they smelled like rotten salted fish, making her gag.
"Alright, Wenjun Tower is safe now. I'll take you there."
Xu Da was busy running around, and Lin Yuesha felt very guilty; she had really messed things up. She opened the car window and looked at Xu Da, who was riding a horse on the other side, hesitating to speak, "Cousin, if Auntie finds out, I will explain myself."
"No need, no need, my mother shouldn't be pressuring me to get married anytime soon."
It's true that his reputation was damaged, but Xu Da didn't care. Anyway, his reputation wasn't great, so what difference would it make if he had another homosexual habit?
Rebellion and military campaigns are far better than having children!
Once he found his target, Xu Da instantly perked up and joked with Lin Yuesha, "Cousin, your method is still the most effective."
"What method?"
Lin Yuesha doesn't remember giving Xu Da any advice.
"You forgot? When you meet an annoying lady, just say you want to marry her and go to her house to propose. Oh my, it really works!"
Xu Da mentioned it twice, and Wei Lan looked utterly dejected, as if her father had died, which made Xu Da very happy.
Lin Yuesha opened her mouth, wondering why her cousin seemed proud of Xu Da's marriage proposal when other young ladies were crying and pleading. This seemed to be a problem with his values.
"So Miss Wei and the Bai siblings were really imprisoned?"
The person behind this is too calculating and extremely precise. If they have a grudge against the three of them, they will quickly achieve their goal of revenge.
Even if the Jingzhao Yin government helped to cover it up, too many eyes had seen it, and the matter could not be kept secret in the end.
"Of course, you provided assistance in this matter."
Xu Da pointed out that Lin Yuesha's collision caused the gold hairpin in the leader's hand to fall to the ground, so he had no choice but to take the initiative and arrest the person.
"Hehe, then I'm sorry."
Lin Yuesha had no good impression of either the Wei family or the Bai siblings.
These three people harbored ulterior motives and brought trouble upon themselves. In truth, Lin Yuesha and her servant Qin Nanyan were dragged into a lot of trouble by these three.
Xu Da first sent Qin Nanyan and her servant to Wenjun Tower to continue their hiding place, and then sent Lin Yuesha back to the Lin Mansion. When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Lin Yuesha remembered a very serious problem.
"Cousin, I'm treating today. Please come to Wenjun Tower for some fun, Young Master Luo. We haven't settled the bill yet because of the commotion we just had!"
Lin Yuesha had a long face; she didn't want to get something for nothing, feeling it was particularly unfair.
The peacock originally bowed down to the money for writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, and ran to Wenjun Tower to entertain guests. If she doesn't give her money, the peacock won't receive any money. She shouldn't be too upset, right?
Lin Yuesha was a little worried, feeling that she was doing something wrong, so she wanted to go back to Wenjunlou to settle the bill and be a conscientious customer.
"Cousin, Young Master Luo has already paid the money. We'll thank him properly next time we meet."
Xu Da twitched his lips. After all this commotion, Lin Yuesha was still thinking about that misguided male prostitute, Kong Que.
This sleight of hand was crude and unplanned, but it was the best solution that could be thought of at the time.
Xu Da escorted Lin Yuesha inside, but he still had to go back and deal with the three unlucky guys who had been replaced.
Back at the Lin residence, Lin Yuesha spent another sleepless night. She was already exhausted, but just as her eyelids were about to close, she was startled awake by the screams of a pig being slaughtered.
“Miss, this is the master’s courtyard. To prevent the wound from festering, Physician Liao applies medicine to it every two hours.”
Lin Yuesha nodded sleepily, just about to fall asleep, when another scream came, and so it went on.
She stayed up all night until dawn, and wanted to go home to rest, but Lin Yue'e returned at this crucial moment.
"Little sister, weren't you visiting the Wei family? Why are you back so soon?"
Lin Yuesha, with dark circles under her eyes, asked listlessly.
"Father is injured, and although I cannot serve him, it would be inappropriate for me to continue being a guest in the Wei family, as that would be against filial piety."
Lin Yue'e didn't want to come back either. On the one hand, if she continued to stay in the Wei family, she would easily be criticized. On the other hand, the Wei family was in dire straits at the moment.
Yesterday, Wei Lan took the Bai siblings to Wenjun Tower to cause trouble, and was treated as a thief and thrown into the yamen jail. The people from the Jingzhao Yin yamen notified the Wei family to pick them up, and only then did Madam Wei learn that the incident had caused such a big commotion.
Moreover, the Empress was furious upon hearing the news and sent people from the palace to the Wei residence to seek a solution.
"Why haven't you heard, sister?"
Lin Yue'e sent back a message that she and Wei Lan weren't that close, and to avoid getting involved, she slipped away first.
"No, I haven't had time to go out yet."
Lin Yuesha yawned and pulled Lin Yue'e aside to complain, "Sister, there's a lot of noise in Father's courtyard at night. You can tell by the size of my eyes. Miss Wei and Young Master Bai went to Wenjun Tower for a secret rendezvous. How could that be?"
"Whether it was a secret rendezvous or not is unimportant; Wei Lan was indeed with Bai Dingfeng."
Therefore, the Wei family is now in a state of utter chaos and has no way to resolve the situation. Wei Lan only knows how to cry, insisting that she and Bai Dingfeng are deeply in love and that she would rather die than marry Xu Da.
Although Madam Wei did not know what Xu Da had to do with it, Bai Dingfeng was already married, so how could she marry her daughter into the family? Besides, the other party was just a scholar who had passed the imperial examination, and his family was too low in social standing to be worthy of marrying into the Wei family.
