Chapter 271: Demotion and Removal of Title
"grandmother……"
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Lin Wangjin'er's weak voice came from the door.
"Jin'er!" The old lady heard as if she heard the sound of nature!
Great! My grandson still recognizes her! My grandson is not stupid...
"Jin'er, how are you? Why did you get out of bed? Hurry! Go and ask the doctor to come over..." The old lady was overjoyed and said a series of questions.
Lin Wangjin was supported by the maid and walked to the old lady's bed.
"My grandson is unfilial and has caused my grandmother to worry."
The old lady's eyes were filled with tears. What a well-behaved and filial grandson!
Why is it that the heavens are so unforgiving, and the weak are prone to disasters...
"Jin'er, sit down quickly and let grandma take a look..."
The old lady looked at her grandson's thin face and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Lin Wangjin looked at the old lady and said something shocking in a somewhat anxious manner.
"Grandmother, are you trying to snatch General Shenwu's granddaughter to bring good luck to your grandson?"
The old lady was startled.
Then, he said in surprise: "Jin'er, how could you say that? How could Grandmother do such a thing? Putting aside other things, General Shenwu is the emperor's father-in-law, and his granddaughter is the niece of the empress. Even our Yingguo Mansion can't afford to offend General Shenwu's Mansion."
"But..." A hint of hesitation appeared on Lin Wangjin's little face.
"What's wrong? Is someone gossiping in your ear?"
The old lady couldn't help but sound a little stern at the end of her speech.
How can you talk nonsense about something that has no basis in reality?!
Lin Wangjin quickly shook his head, "No."
The old lady's tone softened, and she said, "That's good that there isn't one. Our Duke's Mansion and the Divine Martial General's Mansion have some dealings with each other. The Yang family doesn't have a granddaughter of your age..."
"But that little girl's surname is not Yang, it's Su."
"Su?" The old lady's face changed.
The surname Su made her instinctively think of the Su family.
Lin Wangjin nodded, with an expression of confusion and worry on his little face.
"Grandma, I had a dream. I dreamed that you, in a moment of hesitation, wanted to snatch General Shenwu's granddaughter to bring good luck to your grandson, which brought disaster upon yourself. Grandpa was demoted and stripped of his title..."
"Nonsense!" The old lady's face darkened. "How can you believe what you saw in a dream? Forget it now!"
Even if it was just a dream, it made people uncomfortable.
"Grandma, please listen to me," Lin Wangjin said anxiously, "That dream was so real, as if it really happened."
After he finished speaking, his eyes showed a hint of confusion as he continued, "In the dream, my grandfather was impeached by the Divine Martial General and the ministers. They said that our Duke of Yingguo's Mansion was deceiving the emperor and disregarding the law. They also said... if the emperor hadn't remembered my great-grandfather's meritorious service, he would have charged our Mansion with treason... and the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion fell into decline, and my grandson died young..."
Before Lin Wangjin could finish his words, there was a loud cry outside the door.
A little maid ran in in a panic.
"Madam, Mother Wang and the others are back..."
As soon as the little maid finished speaking, Mother Zhang's shrill cry came in.
"Madam, please make the decision for us servants..."
Then, several maids and old women came in from outside the door with bruised faces, disheveled hair and dirty clothes, and shoe prints all over their clothes.
The old lady's head buzzed, and she knew without asking that she had been beaten back.
"What's going on!" the old lady asked sternly, suppressing her shock and anger.
Mother Zhang wailed, "Madam, those unruly people are absolutely lawless! We haven't even entered the village yet, and we've been beaten back..."
"Where are the runners in the county government office? Where is County Magistrate Zheng? Don't those people even fear the government? Are they planning to rebel?" The old lady's face turned pale.
"That county magistrate is a complete traitor!" Mother Zhang said angrily, "Old Madam, you don't know that County Magistrate Zheng not only didn't help us, but instead arrested all the guards and servants in our mansion..."
"What?! How could this happen?" The old lady was so shocked and angry that her whole body began to tremble.
She never imagined that County Magistrate Zheng would dare to do this.
"Old Madam, it's because of that county magistrate's connivance that those unruly people don't take our Duke's Mansion seriously!" Mother Zhang said bitterly, "That county magistrate also said that our Duke's Mansion abused its power to bully others and forcibly seized the Fude Township Lord for a wedding, and that they should all be arrested. He also said that the little girl was the granddaughter of General Shenwu..."
"General Shenwu?!" the old lady suddenly cried out, "How could that girl be General Shenwu's granddaughter?"
The old lady's heart began to beat wildly.
Mother Zhang paused.
"This... I don't know either. Perhaps the county magistrate just made it up..."
"Shut up!" Mother Wang couldn't hold it in any longer. She looked at Mother Zhang and shouted angrily, "Isn't this all your fault?!"
"How could this be caused by me? It was obviously that abominable county magistrate..." Mother Zhang cried out with some guilt.
Mother Wang glanced at Mother Zhang, then looked at the old lady, saying with a worried look on her face, "Old lady, the Lord of Fude Village is indeed the granddaughter of General Shenwu, the goddaughter. General Shenwu was also present at this incident and threatened to impeach the Duke's Mansion for abusing their power and bullying others, and for not taking the law seriously..."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's body shook involuntarily, and her vision became a little dark.
Then, he comforted himself that fortunately it was not a crime of treason, so the things in his grandson's dream would not happen.
Madam Wang continued, "Madam, Madam Zhang was so outspoken that she threatened to wipe out the entire village with her troops. General Shenwu was furious and accused us of being lawless and treacherous... Madam! Madam..."
Before Mother Wang could finish her words, the old lady fell straight back.
The room was in chaos.
Lin Wangjin looked at the old lady with her eyes closed and a gloomy face. His expression became a little hazy, and his eyes became darker and darker.
"Quick! Call a doctor..." Mother Wang shouted in panic.
Fortunately, the old lady had already asked someone to call a doctor, so the doctor came quickly.
"The old lady is having a stroke..."
The doctor took the old lady's pulse with a serious expression on his face.
Mother Wang took a breath of cold air.
Then I noticed that the old lady's facial expression was slowly changing.
One corner of the mouth is turned up, while the other is turned down.
Mother Wang, “…”
Almost fainted.
"Doctor, you must save our old lady..."
Mother Wang pleaded sadly.
"I will...do my best." The doctor said reluctantly.
If it weren't for his compassion as a doctor, he really didn't want to treat the old lady.
He just overheard someone say that the old lady had done something evil and was probably going to suffer retribution.
This is retribution.
After the doctor finished speaking, he took out silver needles from the medicine box and began to give acupuncture to the old lady.
"How is Mother?"
The third young lady dragged her frail body and hurried over.
"Madam, the old lady had a stroke." Mother Zhang said in a low voice.
My heart was pounding with fear.
Although the old lady did this because of what Mother Wang said, the meaning of Mother Wang's words involved the trouble she had caused.
"It's all Madam Wang's fault. She kept gossiping in front of the old lady, causing her to become so frightened and angry that she turned into this..."
Mother Zhang quickly shifted the blame in front of the Third Young Lady.
Mother Wang was so angry that she almost went up to and tore Mother Zhang's mouth.
At this time, the old lady slowly woke up and opened her eyes.
It's just that the eyes are crooked and the mouth is slanted.
The old lady tried hard to raise her hand, but failed.
His cloudy eyes stared at Mother Zhang, his eyeballs almost popping out.
At the same time, several unclear sounds came out of his mouth.
“Ahh… Ahhh… Ahhh…”
