Chapter 173: Bah, they wish
calm?
She couldn't calm down.
She had finally gotten a glimmer of hope for Ji Chenchuan from Concubine Ning. Because of this, the concubine was almost beaten to death by Ji Wu yesterday. If she had not arrived in time, who knows what would happen to the concubine now?
How could she stay calm?
Wasn't it that she made so much effort and took so many risks, just to get her aunt out of this den of tigers and wolves?
Now, an old man just comes over and says lightly that he is from the Lin family and it is his duty to help the Lin family solve their problems. He then rewards them with two taels of silver as if it were a gift and thinks he can let this matter go?
Pooh.
They wish.
They are so fickle and bullying. They are not having a good life. Then they can forget about it and just go and die.
Lin Qingjun didn't care about the people behind her at all. She rushed out with a knife in hand. Her eyes were full of scary red bloodshot. Her expression even scared Qingshan in the dark. This murderous intent was no different from that of his own eldest son.
"Jun'er, come back here. Why, now you won't even listen to your aunt's words?"
Aunt Liu rushed out anxiously.
Lin Qingjun loves her aunt, but does that mean her aunt doesn’t love her too much?
Concubine Liu came out in a hurry and fell to the ground without paying attention. Zhang Yapo Xiaotao hurriedly helped her up. Zhang Yapo saw that Concubine Liu had a large piece of skin scraped off her palm and blood was oozing out.
"Auntie, your hand?"
Aunt Liu didn't care about whether to fight or not. She ran over quickly and grabbed Lin Qingjun.
"Come back here."
Lin Qingjun was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"Aunt? Please don't stop me. You are only one step away, only one step away from leaving here. How can I swallow this anger?"
"Auntie, I know better than anyone what kind of life you've been leading in this Lin Mansion. I, Lin Qingjun, have only a small wish. I just hope that you can live well."
"But, but why can't they even fulfill my little wish?"
Hasn't she done enough?
Lin Yingxue made a big mistake and made Ji Chenchuan like that. Once Ji Chenchuan lost the Queen's life-saving pill, he would die. If he died, the Lin family would be doomed.
This was clearly Lin Yingxue's fault, clearly their fault, yet they wanted her to bear it all, to clean up their mess, and she only had such a small request. Wasn't that too much? But why did they keep harping on it?
The aunt is a dispensable person in the backyard, and her staying here is an eyesore to the Qi family. They wish the aunt would disappear from their sight, but why, why don't they let her go even after this?
Lin Qingjun was so angry that tears streamed down her face.
What evil deeds had Lin Qingjun committed to deserve such treatment?
It was the same in her previous life. She had married Xiao Yuan at Lin Yingxue's behest, one of her reasons being that they would allow her to take her concubine out of the house because she was so obedient. But what happened? Her concubine died inexplicably.
Lin Qingjun clenched his teeth tightly, and his clear eyes were filled with coldness.
"Auntie, please don't stop me. I want to ask him why he went back on his word as we agreed before."
If Lin Zhi doesn't let her go, she will chop off his head. She is not kidding.
Aunt Liu also started to cry.
"Alright, alright, Jun'er, don't be angry, this is all fate, and..."
"Besides, if you really let me leave the house alone, I wouldn't be happy. If we want to leave, we should leave together."
Aunt Liu comforted her with a smile through her tears.
"Jun'er, I understand your feelings. Have I ever thought about sending you out of the house? Have I ever thought about letting you escape from this cage?"
But she didn't have that ability, so she could only let her suffer with her in this small Qijunyuan.
She knew that her existence was an eyesore to the lady, and she tried every way to torture her, even letting a bowl of thick safflower fall into her belly and causing the baby to fall. She also broke her hand and crippled her, depriving her of food and clothing, and leaving her without carbon in the winter and ice in the summer. She even refused to call a doctor to see her when she caught a cold, all for the purpose of letting her die.
But, she is so lucky that she hasn't died yet.
Perhaps she herself did not want to die. She wondered, if she died, what would happen to her Jun'er? She was still so young, would she also be tortured to death by Qi?
That's why she is still alive today.
"I've watched you grow up day by day, and you've grown into a beautiful young lady. You don't know how happy I am."
"I think it is my greatest blessing to have such a wonderful daughter."
Of course, she hoped that such a good daughter could find a good husband. That husband did not have to be a man of both talent and beauty, nor did he have to be a son of a noble family. As long as he truly loved her Jun'er, did not despise her Jun'er for being a concubine's daughter, and gave her a decent status as his wife, she would be satisfied. As for other things, she really did not ask for them.
Aunt Liu gently took the knife from her hand and handed it to Zhang Yapo beside her.
"I hope you will never touch this kind of sharp weapon."
Her hands were used for embroidery, writing, and cooking, but not for killing people, let alone killing Lin Zhi and Qi. She should not be held responsible for the crime of patricide and matricide.
Of course, she is not allowed to hurt herself with this knife.
She pulled Lin Qingjun into the house, made her sit on the soft bed, then stood up and put the gold, silver, and other jewelry she had just packed back to their original places one by one.
"You said that I shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, but I, a little concubine, should be able to take care of it."
"You told me to go back to Jiangcheng and chat with some old acquaintances, but where are my old acquaintances in Jiangcheng?"
"However, it is true that the spring water in Jiangcheng is extremely sweet. When I was little, your aunt loved going to the mountains to fetch that spring water to drink."
"I would rather go to Jiangcheng with you than go alone. You know that I, your aunt, am very timid. I am afraid of the dark and thunder."
"I think the boss of Qianzi Pavilion you mentioned, Ms. Shang, is a very good person, but even such a good person shouldn't be involved."
Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. The business owner is a good person, and he should not be targeted by the fourth-rank Minister of Rites. This is not good for him.
Aunt Liu sat down beside her, took off her shoes and socks as she did when she was a child, placed her on the bed, covered her with a soft thin quilt, and patted her from time to time.
"Jun'er, Auntie won't leave. Wherever you are, Auntie will be there."
"Jun'er, Auntie hopes you can find a good husband and give birth to a grandson or granddaughter who looks like you or him."
The whole family lives in harmony and happiness, this is Liu's greatest hope and wish.
I don’t know if it was because Lin Qingjun was too tired, or because my aunt was too gentle, but Lin Qingjun’s eyes became heavy and he fell into a deep sleep.
Aunt Liu looked at her sleeping daughter, a hint of deep meaning flashing in her eyes.
She tucked in the quilt, stood up and called Qingshan over in the dark, and asked directly.
"Guard Qingshan, may I ask what your heir's name is...?"
