Chapter 71: Lin Xiu's End
Jin's father and mother didn't know how they got to the Jian'an Marquis Mansion.
It was the first time the two of them had seen such a large house, and it seemed as if it stretched as far as the eye could see.
When they saw the legendary Marquis and his wife, they were so embarrassed that they didn't know where to put their hands.
Mr. and Mrs. Jin didn't understand why the people from the Marquis' Mansion suddenly came forward to rescue them.
He also didn't understand why they insisted on inviting the two of them to the Marquis' Mansion for a chat.
When Li Cen and Chen saw Mr. and Mrs. Jin, their eyes suddenly became sore.
The two of them bowed to Mr. and Mrs. Jin and said sorry.
This made Jin's father and mother increasingly at a loss. "Marquis... Marquis and Madam, there's no need to do this. What are you doing? This... This is shortening our lifespan!"
Marquis Jian'an and Chen sighed, "You two elders can bear it."
Marquis Jian'an and Chen rambled on about Lin Xiu's crimes, then sighed at the end, "We didn't know that Lin Xiu had married, and we had no idea how ambitious and ruthless he was."
"But after all, Miss Jintao died because of our Shuhui."
"We have let you two down by causing them to lose their child. We are truly sorry for you."
Mr. and Mrs. Jin didn't know what to say for a moment.
If they were more selfish.
Naturally, all the blame can be put on the Li family.
But they are not like that.
The two of them were rather old-fashioned in their behavior and had been very strict with their daughter in the past.
Jin Tao rarely feels warmth.
Because of this, they understood very clearly that this matter had nothing to do with the Li family.
Father Jin closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, his voice trembling slightly.
"It's none of your business, nor your daughter's business."
"That Lin Xiu is ruthless and vicious. If he can target the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion today, he can target someone else tomorrow. He will eventually use this knife to chop our Taotao. Regardless of whether the daughter falls for his trick or not, he has no intention of letting our Taotao live."
The person who killed Jin Tao was not Li Shuhui.
Mr. and Mrs. Jin knew very well that even if there was no Li Shuhui, there were still Zhang Shuhui, Yang Shuhui, and Liu Shuhui.
As long as Lin Xiu is around, there will be thousands of women named Shuhui appearing.
There will be thousands and thousands of Shuhuis who will take the blame for Lin Xiu.
Mr. and Mrs. Jin were so understanding that Mr. and Mrs. Li felt even more uncomfortable.
Who isn't a parent? When an elderly person suddenly loses their young one, how can a parent not be heartbroken?
It’s a pity that the culprit is still at large.
Marquis Jian'an has already asked people to prepare evidence, and the appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Jin at this moment is like a useful knife.
No matter what, the culprit Lin Xiu must die.
…
Early the next morning, Marquis Jian'an accused Lin Xiu of deceiving the emperor in the court.
Whether it was murdering his wife or setting up a scheme to harm his daughter, if the emperor wanted to protect Lin Xiu, these things could always be erased.
Even if Lin Xiu did all these things clearly, the emperor could find someone to overturn the evidence and prove that Lin Xiu was falsely accused.
Only the words "deceiving the emperor" could make Emperor Qinglong feel that his imperial power was seriously threatened.
Sure enough, when Emperor Qinglong saw the piles of evidence presented to him, he laughed instead of getting angry.
He looked coldly at Lin Xiu who was standing straight.
"Lin Qing, what do you want to say?"
Lin Xiu knelt on the ground with an upright posture. At first glance, he seemed to be someone who would rather break than bend. Who would have thought that beneath the appearance of a gentleman, he actually had a heart like a jackal.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged."
"I don't know how I offended the Marquis of Jian'an, or perhaps he despised my humble origins and suddenly felt I wasn't worthy of the Marquis' daughter. He didn't want to abruptly break off the engagement and make himself looked down upon, so he came up with this."
As he spoke, he turned his head and his gaze fell on Marquis Jian'an. He sighed and said, "Marquis Jian'an, if you are dissatisfied with me, just tell me. I will definitely not pester you for your daughter's wealth."
"Why bother?"
When he said this, he put all the blame on Marquis Jian'an, as if the Marquis Jian'an's family was snobbish and favored the rich.
She felt that he, the top scholar chosen by the emperor, was not worthy of her daughter.
To put it nicely, the people in Jian'an Marquis Mansion are too arrogant.
But if this is said in a more unpleasant way.
That is the Jian'an Marquis Mansion, which is so bold that it even looks down on the number one scholar chosen by the emperor.
Marquis Jian'an had long known that this man would be so shameless, but instead of getting angry, he laughed.
"How dare you, a beast who buried his wife alive, lie to His Majesty!"
As Marquis Jian'an said this, he stepped forward and punched Lin Xiu hard.
The emperor frowned. It had been so many years, and Marquis Jian'an was still the same. He would attack at the slightest disagreement. He was truly a reckless man.
But it was this brainless and reckless man that made the emperor feel at ease.
The emperor frowned and scolded, "Li Cen, this is the court, how can you be so reckless?"
Li Cen immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, but I just can't stand seeing him like this."
"I attacked him out of sheer rage. Your Majesty, I beg for your punishment."
What could Emperor Qinglong say?
Marquis Jian'an has always been like this. He just reprimanded him a few words and then turned his attention to Lin Xiu again.
"Lord Lin, what do you have to say about what the Marquis of Jian'an said?"
Lin Xiu opened his mouth, wanting to refute himself and not wanting to admit those things.
But for some reason, as soon as he opened his mouth, he confessed everything he had done.
Lin Xiu was stunned. What was going on? He couldn't control himself and said everything he should and shouldn't have said.
Lin Xiu looked horrified, as if he didn't know what was going on.
