Chapter 85 I am no longer the Lin Qingjun of the past
Lin Yingxue saw Lin Qingjun come out unharmed.
She rushed to Qi angrily.
"Mother, how could you let her leave?"
Didn't they say they were going to beat him to death? Then she would beat him. If Lin Qingjun died, she would be at peace. No one would ever say in front of her that her rules were better than hers.
What made her even more angry was that even Xiao Yuan, who had always been a flatterer to her, began to side with Lin Qingjun. When she asked him repeatedly when he would make a move on her and when he would marry her, he just mumbled and couldn't say anything clearly. He even pretended to be affectionate and told her that he wanted to marry her more.
She was sickened to death. He didn't even consider his own background. How could he be worthy of her? He even dreamed of marrying her? He could dream on. If it weren't for his scheme against Lin Qingjun, or if it weren't for the feeling of holding her in his palm, she would never be with Xiao Yuan, who reeked of poverty.
Everything was fine before. Xiao Yuan still listened to her. She asked him to give the engagement jade pendant, and he did. She asked him to propose marriage, and he did. Lin Qingjun was also fine and fell into her trap obediently.
But why did it change later?
What went wrong?
Lin Yingxue suddenly remembered, yes, it was the first time Xiao Yuan proposed to her, Lin Qingjun seemed to have changed, and so did Xiao Yuan.
When Lin Yingxue thought of this, she felt a little panicked. This was sudden, without any signs or reasons at all. She didn't like this kind of uncontrollable things. She felt that everything was out of control.
So, since they wanted to leave, she might as well let them all die.
This is a great opportunity. Lin Qingjun is trying to sow discord between her mother and father. Her mother could just kill her, right?
Lin Qingjun's last words were still echoing in Qi's mind, such as the eldest princess, Dongzhu, the decline of the Qi family, and the fading of love. How could she listen to her own daughter's words about beating Lin Qingjun to death with a stick?
Seeing that Qi ignored her, Lin Yingxue became angry again. Could it be that even her mother was going to go against her will?
"Mother?" she called impatiently.
Qi was already irritable, and Lin Yingxue's shouting made her even more irritated, with a frown on her face.
"That's enough. Stop yelling. I'm not deaf."
Beat her to death with clubs, beat her to death with clubs, how could she not know that she had to beat that bitch to death? But could she do that just by talking about it?
Although Lin Qingjun deserved to die, she was the concubine of the Lin family. Even if she beat her to death, she had to find a legitimate reason. She couldn't tell others that Lin Qingjun was beaten to death by her, her stepmother, because she was defending the Lin family, right?
Then what kind of person has she become? Does she still want to maintain her dignity?
Moreover, she was the only concubine's daughter in the Lin family. If there were countless concubines like in other families, no one would care even if one or two died. But the only concubine's daughter in the Lin family died, leaving only her two legitimate daughters and sons. Isn't this telling others that she, as the mistress, cannot tolerate concubines?
When Qi thought of this, she looked at Lin Yingxue, who had a shocked but sinister look on her face.
Suddenly I remembered Lin Qingjun's words.
Lin Yingxue, did she really love her as a mother? The handkerchiefs she sent were all made by that bitch Liu, or bought with the money she gave her. In all these years, she had never given her anything made by herself, not even a brocade. She had never knitted one.
Think about Lin Qingjun again. When Liu was seriously ill, she knelt in the snow to beg for medicine. When Liu had a poor appetite, she humbled herself and asked to learn how to cook. When Liu had poor eyesight, she took over the embroidery work. When Liu was bullied and plotted against by her mistress, she tried every means to rescue her mother from the den of tigers and wolves.
Oh no, leave Jianjia Courtyard.
No matter how much she disliked Lin Qingjun and hated Liu, she had to admit that the relationship between them was real and could not be faked in the slightest.
Compared with the two, Lin Yingxue is not worth mentioning at all.
There was deep disappointment in Qi's eyes, and for the first time she felt envious of Liu.
"Mother?"
Lin Yingxue realized something was wrong, she panicked, and hurried forward to hug her arm as she did in the past.
But when it was about to touch, Qi instinctively shrank back slightly.
Lin Yingxue's face turned even paler.
Qi also found something wrong, but Lin Yingxue came from her belly, so she softened her heart. She had loved her for so many years, and it was not fake.
She said, "Xue'er, it's not that I don't want to beat her to death, but you should also think about your brother. Doesn't he care about his reputation? Chengfeng is in the academy, and he will take the imperial examination again in two years. And Qin Daru said he has great talent and is a top scorer."
If word got out at this time that his mother had beaten the concubine's daughter to death, it would be detrimental to his future.
Lin Yingxue wanted to say, why did the mistress need to find an excuse for beating a concubine to death? A concubine was no different from a slave. If she died, she died. Who would really care? She was just a coward.
Mrs. Qi didn't know what she was thinking, so she continued, "What if you let that bitch live for two more years? Your brother's future is the most important thing, and this is not only for him, but also for yourself."
"You will eventually get married. Only when your brother's future is good will you have the confidence to stay in your husband's family."
For example, she is doing well in the Lin Mansion because her mother's family is good. Look, wasn't her mother-in-law sent back to the farm to recuperate without saying a word?
After hearing this, Lin Yingxue finally calmed down.
She was right. If she entered the Prince's Mansion in the future, her brother Chengfeng would be her support. Even the Crown Princess would not dare to show off in front of her. After all, her brother was the top scholar, right?
"Okay, then we'll spare her this time and let her live for two years."
"Mother, I will embroider a handkerchief for you in a moment."
With just a few words, she won over Qi. Qi joyfully held Lin Yingxue's hand and said several nice words, which finally dispelled the dark cloud in her heart.
"By the way, mother, what about the birthday gift?"
The topic started to get serious again.
Qijunyuan.
Aunt Liu also raised this question.
Lin Qingjun pressed her onto the bed and said, "We are not the ones to think about birthday gifts. That is the responsibility of the mistress. Aunt, the most important thing for you now is to have a good rest."
Lin Qingjun stroked her sunken cheeks, feeling a pain in her heart as if it were being pierced by thousands of needles.
It took a lot of effort to recover a little, but it went back again in the past few days. Her aunt, why is her life so miserable?
Aunt Liu smiled gently and lifted up the loose hair that had fallen by her ear, her eyes full of kindness.
"I'm fine. As long as you're okay, everything is fine. You don't have to worry."
"But you, you have displeased the Madam today, and she will definitely take revenge."
Qi Meilin is a narrow-minded and vindictive woman. She only hates herself for not having the ability to protect her daughter, causing her to suffer so much with her.
Lin Qingjun smiled and said, "Aunt, you don't have to worry about me. I am no longer the Lin Qingjun I used to be."
At worst, she could die with them. She had already died once, so dying again wouldn't be a big deal.
