Chapter 180: Don't be so arrogant, the marriage is still in my hands
It's really ridiculous.
Lin Yingxue actually has time to shift the blame here, but no time to think of how to calm the anger of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion?
Although Ji Chenchuan has woken up, it doesn't mean that everything is fine, do you understand?
There are many more things to come.
Also, did you really think she'd just barge in like that? How could a mere concubine's daughter have the guts to challenge her mother and father? If she didn't have the guts, she wouldn't be able to come.
The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is now her confidence. What's even more ridiculous is that they handed this confidence to her themselves?
Lin Zhi also thought of this. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he looked at Lin Yingxue with a hint of blame. If it weren't for her, so many troubles would not have occurred.
Lin Zhi clenched his fingers tightly under his sleeves. He had to think of another way to cancel the marriage with the Marquis of Wu'an, otherwise, he would be in great trouble.
In the past, he thought this marriage was a great one, as it would help him become the Minister of Rites. In addition, Lin Yingxue was sensible enough to be willing to marry him. But now, it seems that they have stepped into a fire pit.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about those things anymore."
Lin Zhi stopped Lin Qingjun from speaking. He didn't dare to say anything more and scolded Qi again.
"Qi, why don't you get these servants to leave immediately? It's just a family breakfast, why make such a fuss?"
"Uh, yes, sir."
Only then did Qi come to her senses and hurriedly ordered the old women to leave. She also signaled to Madam Qi to shut them up. If it were to get out that she, a legitimate mother, couldn't control a mere concubine's daughter, wouldn't people laugh at her?
Lin Qingjun laughed. This Lin Zhi was really good at lying. How could they be having breakfast together? Did she eat a single bite of the food on the table? Was her aunt here?
He changed the subject, clearly scared.
She discovered that Lin Zhi was even more shameless and hypocritical than she had imagined, and she secretly regretted why she had asked for the fatherly love of such a person.
Qi also took advantage of the situation and said, "That's right, it's just breakfast for the family, why make such a fuss? Qingjun, why don't you come over and serve the food to me and your father?"
Serving the dishes was the servants' job, but now Qi asked her to do it? Was this to establish her authority?
Lin Qingjun did not refuse and agreed, as long as she didn't regret it.
She pinched the wide sleeves, revealing her delicate white wrists, and steadily picked up a steamed bun and placed it on Lin Zhi's plate, "Father, please have some."
Lin Zhi nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that she was so well-behaved and sensible, he thought she had given in.
But just as he was about to pick up the steamed bun, he suddenly saw the eye-catching scar on her wrist. His face suddenly froze, and he was no longer in the mood to eat.
He dropped his chopsticks heavily on the table, his face full of gloom.
Lin Qingjun chuckled.
Did he remember how she got the scar on her wrist?
She was still young at that time, and his career was not going well. He was assassinated by his rival. It happened that she was riding in the same carriage with him and Lin Yingxue. But when the assassin came, Lin Yingxue was only concerned with escaping and completely forgot about her doting father.
She pushed him away without hesitation. The scar on her hand was caused by the assassin at that time.
At the time, she loved her father, even though he didn't love her. But as a little girl, how could she blame her father? When the assassin's sword came at her, she pushed him away without a second thought, never thinking that she would be injured or die.
She was so stupid at that time.
Afterwards, Lin Zhi did come to see her for a while, bringing her lots of delicious food, but it was only for a short while. Her injuries hadn't healed yet, and he suddenly stopped coming. She wanted to ask him if he had forgotten her, but when they walked into the garden, he lifted Lin Yingxue up high, doting on her as always, as if the day she abandoned him had never happened.
At that moment, she vaguely understood that if he didn't love her, he didn't love her. No matter how much she did, her father's eyes would not fall on her.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingjun smiled sarcastically.
Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi, you didn't expect that, right? What happened back then happened, and it can never be treated as if it didn't exist. She was using this scar to remind him not to have too high expectations of Lin Yingxue. Once something happened, she would abandon him just like she did back then.
Lin Yingxue is a selfish person at heart. All his love for her over the years has been wasted.
"Master, what are you doing?" Why did he suddenly get angry for no reason?
"Yes, father, or did Lin Qingjun make you angry again? I said Lin Qingjun is a villain. If you give her a little face, she will open a dyeing house. Father, according to my daughter, it is better to beat her to death as soon as possible."
Lin Yingxue tightened her handkerchief again and again. She had wanted to keep her useful before, but now she just wanted her to die.
"That's enough."
Lin Zhi was furious.
"Lin Yingxue, you are a daughter of an official family. How can you keep talking about fighting and killing all day long? How can you be so disrespectful?"
"And you, Qi, you are the wife of the Lin family's backyard. Is this how you taught her? Has she learned all those rules?"
"No, I won't eat anymore. I can't finish a meal in peace."
Lin Zhi stood up and looked at Lin Qingjun with a strange look, with a hint of guilt and remorse in his eyes.
"Qingjun, don't be too proud. You must always remember that you are a member of the Lin Mansion. If anything happens in the Lin Mansion, you have the responsibility to participate in solving it. Don't get carried away thinking that you are Ji Shizi's savior. You must know that the word "Lin" cannot be written with one stroke. You must understand the principle that everyone prospers and everyone suffers together."
"As for your aunt's affairs, don't mention it again. No matter what happens to her, she is still my woman, Lin Zhi. How can I give her a concubine certificate at will?"
After saying that, Lin Zhi left without looking back.
Lin Qingjun did not accept the order. Auntie had to leave, whether Lin Zhi was willing or not.
Besides, she didn't come here today to talk about this.
She knelt before Qi and said respectfully, "Madam, is it time for the monthly allowance at Qijun Courtyard to increase? And is it time to buy some food for the small kitchen?"
Upon hearing this, Qi instinctively wanted to refuse, "What's the point of raising it? Do you think the Lin family earns a lot of money? That expense..."
But Qi stopped talking halfway.
Only then did she understand that Lin Qingjun came here early in the morning and prevented them from having a good meal not because she really came to ask for a concubine's certificate for Liu. Her purpose was not here at all. Did she want money?
Just imagine, if Lin Qingjun asked her for money directly, she would definitely refuse. But what if she went around in such a big circle, brought up the matter of going back on her word, brought up the matter of Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and even brought up that trivial matter, just to make her understand that if she didn't give her this month's allowance, she would continue to make a fuss until she gave it?
"Lin Qingjun, do you dare?"
Lin Qingjun raised her eyebrows. What was there for her to be afraid of? And she, hadn’t she done it all?
She knew Qi's nature, and if she asked directly, she would definitely not give it to her. It would be better to have a quarrel and ignore everything. Firstly, it could vent her anger, and secondly, it could tell Qi that if she refused, she would make a more violent scene than this, like standing at her bedside with a knife in the middle of the night...
When Lin Qingjun thought of this, her eyes lit up. Well, this is a good idea. Next time she wants something, she can do this. As long as she is willing to put in the effort, there is nothing she can't achieve.
Qi gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Qingjun, you are great, but don't be so arrogant. Your marriage is still in my hands."
