Chapter 292: Go and apologize in person
Lin Enyi looked at Lin Hong with sharp eyes.
"My Lord, I heard that the late Duke's wife married into the Duke's Mansion with a grand wedding. Later, the late Duke arranged a marriage for the eldest daughter early on, but later..."
Lin Enyi paused here, and there was a hint of aggressiveness in his tone.
"May I ask, Lord Duke, who was responsible for the eldest lady's original marriage? Who was given the dowry of the late Duke's wife? Who benefited the most from the eldest lady's passing?"
British Duke, "..."
Duke Lin Hong of England was speechless after being asked by Lin Enyi.
After her niece passed away, her own daughter married into the Shangshu Mansion in her sister's place.
Moreover, all the dowry left by his sister-in-law was given to his daughter as a dowry...
Could it be... that it was really his wife and daughter who forced Ru'er to fake his death and escape?
The more the Duke of England thought about it, the colder his heart became.
The more Lin Enyi spoke, the angrier he became.
"My Lord, do you know who this girl is that the old lady used her power to bully others and tried to forcefully marry to bring good luck to the young master?" Lin Enyi asked through gritted teeth.
"The Emperor personally appointed him as the Lord of Fude Township."
This matter has been reported to the emperor, so of course he knows about it.
If this incident had not been the trigger, he would not have been demoted and stripped of his title.
"Does the Duke know who this Lord of Fude Township is?" Lin Enyi asked again.
British Duke, "..."
Looking at Lin Enyi's expression, I suddenly had a guess in my mind.
"Could that little girl be related to Ru'er?" the Duke of England asked in surprise.
"That's right! That little girl is none other than the eldest lady's daughter!" Lin Enyi said, "The eldest lady has lived in hiding, enduring countless hardships. Now that her life has finally started to improve, the old lady is using her power to force her to take the young lady away..."
British Duke, "..."
Face full of shock!
It turned out that the little girl that the old wife wanted to rob was the daughter of her niece and her own granddaughter.
"Are you serious?" asked the Duke of England in disbelief.
"Of course! If the young lady had not been blessed with good fortune and protection, the eldest lady's family would have been forced to be destroyed!" Lin En said angrily.
After saying that, he knelt on one knee in front of Lin Hong.
"I beg the Duke to give the young lady justice!"
Lin Enyi has already risked everything.
He no longer cared about rebellion or anything like that.
He only hated himself for not finding the eldest lady sooner.
He never believed that what happened to the eldest lady was an accident, so he searched everywhere for the eldest lady over the years.
Now, his hard work finally paid off and he finally found the eldest lady.
If the Duke is unwilling to give justice to the eldest lady, then he will do it himself!
A hint of determination flashed across Lin Enyi's eyes!
"Don't worry, if...if someone really forced Ru'er to do this, I will definitely not let that person go!"
After Lin Hong finished speaking in a deep voice, he stood up suddenly and strode out.
In the old lady's room, the second and third sons of the Lin family had just sent someone to invite a doctor when the door was kicked open with a "bang!"
"father?"
"father?"
The Lin brothers were surprised.
Especially when I saw the angry face of the Duke of England, I was even more confused.
Didn’t his father’s anger subside when he saw his mother’s illness?
Why does he look like he wants to kill someone now?
"Get out!" Lin Hong shouted angrily.
"Dad, Mom..."
"go out!"
Before Lin Hong could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Duke of England.
The doctor immediately picked up the medicine box and walked out quickly in fear.
Although the second and third sons of the Lin family were full of worries, they did not dare to disobey Lin Hong and had to retreat.
However, the two stood outside the door and did not leave.
They all looked worried and listened attentively to what was said inside.
Lin Hong looked at the old lady on the bed with cold eyes and asked sternly, "Let me ask you, were you trying to harm Ru'er back then, causing her to fall off the cliff?"
The old lady's face changed and she shook her head hurriedly.
“No… no…”
"If it's not you, then it must be Yu'er?" Lin Hong stared at the old lady sharply and asked again.
The old lady's face was filled with panic. She shook her head again in fear, her lips moving in denial.
But the guilt in his eyes was clearly revealed.
After being married for many years, what else does the Duke of England not understand?
Even if he wanted to deceive himself, he couldn't.
Duke Ying's eyes glared, and he roared angrily, "Could it be that Ru'er herself gave up her good job as a daughter of a duke and faked her own death, hiding her identity, and fled far away?!"
Old lady, “…”
His face was filled with shock, his eyes almost popping out of his head.
"Ru... Ru'er... is not..." the old lady said vaguely.
"That's right! Ru'er is not dead!"
The Duke of England stared at the old lady and breathed heavily.
The second and third sons of the Lin family, who were outside the door, were dumbfounded when they heard what the Duke of England said in the house.
It turns out that the elder sister was not dead, but faked her death!
“…Ah… Duke…”
The old lady looked at the Duke of England and struggled desperately to get up.
Unfortunately, I can’t get up at all.
When Duke Ying saw his wife in this state, he felt angry and distressed.
I couldn't help but close my eyes.
As soon as he closed his eyes, his elder brother's appearance appeared before him.
The expectations of his elder brother and his teachings flashed by quickly.
In the end, the eldest brother even left his title and the huge Duke's Mansion to his younger brother...
But what about him?
He almost killed his eldest brother's only bloodline.
The Duke of England opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes turned cold again.
"Do you still remember the oath you swore at my sister-in-law's bedside?" Duke Ying said with a hint of self-mockery, "Now that oath has come true, I'm no longer a Duke. The Emperor has stripped me of my official title..."
Old lady, “…”
Like being struck by lightning!
He stared at the Duke of England with his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
The Duke of England looked back at the old lady fiercely, as if he were stabbing a knife into his heart.
He continued to talk as he stabbed her again and again.
"Also, the little girl you want to rob is Ru'er's daughter!"
"Not only have we failed the wishes of our eldest brother and his wife, we have also repeatedly hurt their remaining bloodline."
"So, with the Duke of Yingguo's mansion gone, Jin'er is in grave danger... Our Lin family is going to be extinct..."
"This is all retribution... retribution..."
When Duke Ying finished speaking, his eyes also became red.
The old lady, “…Ah…Ah…”
Apart from opening his mouth and making “ahhhh” sounds, he couldn’t utter a single unclear word.
The Duke of England looked at the old lady with blood in his heart.
I feel both heartbroken and angry.
"I will personally go and apologize to Ru'er. As for what we owe Ru'er, I will do my best to make up for it," said the Duke of Ying. "A hundred years from now, I will also go to the underworld and kowtow to my elder brother and his wife to apologize."
After saying that, he strode out!
The second and third sons of the Lin family were still in shock outside the door.
