Chapter 621 The Scumbag Father's Acting Skills
Soon, Lin Yuesha heard the news of Qin's death at the mansion.
Bai Cha came out of the main kitchen. Yao Dajia and the cook were so busy that they were practically running around. Only when Bai Xiang went out to get something did she pull Bai Cha aside and gossip for a bit.
"White Tea, quickly tell me what you heard."
This time it was Lin Yuesha's turn to be anxious. The group immediately sat down together, and Longjing served a pot of fine tea to the great contributor, white tea, and waited eagerly.
"Bai Xiang said that a foul odor would occasionally emanate from Taipingfang. Eventually, someone was so disgusted by the smell that they reported it to the authorities. The officials and their men searched for the source of the stench and eventually found the mansion where Young Master Yu had overturned a case."
Initially, everyone guessed that there might still be the bodies of pregnant women that had not been discovered. However, when they went to the cellar of the mansion, they found several bodies wrapped in tarpaulin, which were eventually identified as Qin Shi and her maids and servants.
"Oh dear, the scene was said to be quite gruesome. As soon as the officials opened the tarpaulin, they were immediately vomited up by the sight of so many white maggots..."
The deceased was so badly mutilated that he was unrecognizable; the scene was incredibly gruesome.
"The murderer is a remnant of Yu Zicheng, who has vowed revenge, including against Master Xu's entire family."
After Bai Cha finished speaking, Lin Yuesha sensed something was wrong. Sure enough, Yu Zicheng was being blamed. So how could they determine that the murderer was Yu Gongzi's accomplice?
"On the tarpaulin that wrapped Qin's body, the man wrote a letter in blood, and claimed that he would not let go of the person who put Yu Zicheng in prison."
Therefore, the people from the Five Cities Garrison who participated in the case were also on the list, and Xu Da naturally couldn't escape. This was a provocative act by the murderer.
For this reason, Imperial Physician Yu has been summoned to the Jingzhao Yin's office and has become the prime suspect.
"However, the master was not at the Jingzhao Yin's office. It is said that he was so grief-stricken upon seeing the corpse that he immediately fainted."
Anyway, Lin Shusheng collapsed to the ground, startling everyone. After the doctor took his pulse, Lin Shusheng coughed up another mouthful of blood from his heart and immediately burst into tears.
"ah?"
Lin Yuesha couldn't believe it; her scumbag father actually had such good acting skills, almost as good as hers!
"That's true. Everyone in the manor is saying that the master wishes he could go with the madam and refuses to take the medicine."
Bai Cha chatted about gossip with great interest, and Lin Shusheng's reaction was something none of them expected.
Now, the family is setting up a mourning tent, and everything is being managed by Old Madam Lin to receive the ladies and young women who come to pay their respects. Lin Yuesha also has to change her clothes before going.
"Miss, please don't delay, lest you give others something to say about etiquette and manners."
Granny Fang urged, "Although Qin Shi and Lin Yuesha are not related, as a junior, we must show respect for the deceased."
The coffin has been placed at the Jingzhao Yin Yamen (prefectural government office). It will be buried soon due to the hot weather, so the Lin family will not keep the coffin at home, but will simply put up a few funeral banners as a token gesture.
"Find me a simple, plain dress, I'll go right now."
Lin Yuesha had just changed her clothes when Lin Yue'e came to her door.
"Sister Yue'e, don't be too sad. Life is unpredictable..."
Lin Yuesha had a whole repertoire of comforting words, but before she could even begin, Lin Yue'e stopped her.
"Do you really think my mother was killed by the remnants of Young Master Yu's faction?"
Lin Yue'e was dressed in white with a white flower in her hair, her face indifferent, as if Qin's death had nothing to do with her.
"Sister Yue'e, could it be that the murderer is someone else?"
Lin Yue'e was too calm, especially on Mid-Autumn Festival night. She went to Taipingfang, and it's unknown whether she made any discoveries.
However, Lin Yue'e did not let anyone discover her thoughts, which shows that she was very thoughtful.
"have no idea."
Lin Yue'e turned around, her eyes filled with a hidden irony. It was Taipingfang again. Her mother had actually died in Taipingfang!
Something's not right. Something's off and eerie about everything. Old Mrs. Lin and Father must know the truth about Mother's death, and these people just want to cover it up.
As for Lin Yuesha, she was just a nobody.
Stay calm. Now that her mother's death has been confirmed, Lin Yue'e knows there's nothing she can do right now, but the fox will eventually show its tail, so she's not in a hurry.
A few days ago, Lin Yue'e had a dream in which her mother was leaving and told her before she left that she could no longer take care of her.
In the Lin family mansion, Old Madam Lin's preference for sons over daughters was taken to the extreme. Her father was indifferent to affairs, and Lin Haoran had already betrayed her. Only Lin Yue'e was left isolated and helpless. Only by being obedient and sensible could she live a good life.
Lin Yue'e seemed like a completely different person; her entire being exuded a deathly aura that was frightening.
In the main courtyard, many ladies brought their young mistresses to pay their respects. After Miss Pang arrived, they immediately sought out Lin Yuesha for a private conversation.
"Hey, do you still stand by what you said last time about helping me lose dozens of pounds?"
Pangpang pinched her stomach. The Lin family had recently encountered some trouble, so it must be difficult for Lin Yuesha to go out. Therefore, her weight loss plan would have to be put on hold.
“My mother arranged a marriage for me, but the lady said that being a little chubby is a sign of good fortune, but I am too chubby.”
Anyway, her words were quite harsh, after all, that young master was skinny and might be crushed by her.
Therefore, Pangpang decided to change and ask her mother to find her a better marriage.
She thought she could lose weight by eating less, but it didn't work. Instead, she starved herself to the point of tears and tried to satisfy her cravings by eating more.
"Of course I'm serious."
When Qin died, we only mourned for two or three days, and we still had to make money.
Lin Yuesha and Pang Pang agreed to meet in two days. If she couldn't go out, Pang Pang would deliver an invitation to her door.
"Mr. Lin, the students have all remembered."
Pang Pang became meek and submissive, no longer daring to be arrogant. This form of address startled Lin Yuesha.
"Since you're here to guide me, it's appropriate to address you as 'sir' to show respect."
Pang Pang spoke eloquently, and Lin Yuesha's reputation was upgraded from being called a country bumpkin to being the respected Mr. Lin.
"Has Sister Qin not come to the manor yet? I heard from my mother that Sister Qin is going to marry into the family."
Pangpang has a lot of rumors going around, and when she first heard them, she found them quite unbelievable.
"But the Lin family has no young master..."
The only one openly acknowledged is Lin Haoran, a five or six-year-old kid. Qin Nanyan can't possibly marry Lin Haoran, could it be...?
"My father?"
Lin Yuesha stared in disbelief, repeatedly confirming the information.
"Yes, I heard that Lord Lin's beloved wife passed away, and he was so saddened that his hair turned white and he even coughed up blood. When the Qin family saw this, they married Qin Nanyan, who looked the most like Qin Shi, to him."
It's said to be a rumor, but it's probably true.
“The nanny who served my mother was acquainted with a nanny in the Qin family. They were old friends for decades. The news came from the Qin family.”
After Pang Pang finished speaking, he was very envious of Qin Nanyan's good luck in marrying into the Lin family. Although he was her uncle, Lord Lin was handsome, powerful, and mature, which those young men lacked. He was considerate and caring. If she married into the family, she might even get a rank. Lord Lin was not someone that some naive young men could compare to.
