Chapter 303: Madam is still Madam
Wang Zhong and Xuanyuan Jin came early in the morning and kept eating melons.
Seeing that the old general was still unclear about the matter, he quickly leaned over to the old general's ear and briefly told him what had happened, mainly what Grandma Du had just said.
The old general understood.
"Lin Hong, you are such a ruthless bunch!" The old general said in a menacing tone, "I really haven't wronged you. You are so ruthless that you even secretly harm your own brother's orphan..."
The old general cursed Lin Hong.
Lin Hong was extremely ashamed, but he had no choice but to listen.
Although he didn't know about these things, they were done by his wife and daughter, so he should bear the responsibility and the blame.
Lin Hong didn't even bother to defend himself.
On the contrary, Lin Enyi felt sympathy when he saw Lin Hong like this.
For so many years, someone who has been high and mighty is now being scolded again and again. It's really...
Lin Enyi opened his mouth, wanting to say something for Lin Hong.
But when he thought of the grievances the eldest lady had suffered over the years, Lin Enyi closed his mouth like a clam shell again.
"What the old general taught me is that it was all my fault. I will definitely make up for the mistake I made back then." Lin Hong said with a face full of shame, but in a sincere tone.
The old general snorted, "You have to be sincere to make amends. Are you going to come here and just say a few words of apology and call it a day? You're dreaming! Besides, your niece doesn't want you to admit your mistakes..."
I don’t even want to acknowledge you as my second uncle!
Lin Hong naturally knew that he couldn't expect his niece to forgive his family just by talking.
He just heard that his niece was still alive, so he ran over excitedly to recognize her.
Little did he know that his niece didn't recognize him at all.
However, he also knew that no matter what he did, he could not make up for the suffering his niece had endured over the years.
The only thing that comforted him was that his niece now had a harmonious relationship with her husband, many children and grandchildren, and lived a comfortable life.
Lin Hong's gaze shifted from Old Lady Su to Old Man Su, who stood firmly beside her, and then to the Su brothers who were guarding her like bodyguards...
Finally, it fell on Xiao Tangbao.
As soon as the old general saw Lin Hong's eyes fall on Xiao Tangbao, he immediately stopped.
"Alright, stop wasting time here! Go back to where you came from. No one welcomes you here! Go, go, go..."
The old general waved his hand and drove Lin Hong away like a puppy.
After hearing what the old general said, Lin Hong didn't lose his temper. He just looked at Old Madam Su and said bitterly, "Ru'er, Second Uncle knows that I don't have the face to ask for your forgiveness, but don't worry, Second Uncle will definitely give you an explanation!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Lin Hong's back, and her eyes suddenly became red, and tears fell uncontrollably.
Then, he opened his mouth towards Lin Hong's back.
She would rather believe that her second uncle was not aware of what happened back then.
However, he and the Lin family really don't want to have anything to do with each other anymore.
Well... that's it...
In the end, Old Mrs. Su said nothing.
As soon as Old Mrs. Su started crying, Old Man Su felt distressed immediately.
"young married woman?"
"I'm fine."
Old Mrs. Su quickly shook her head.
As a caring little girl, little Tangbao quickly asked her elder brother to hold her and wipe her mother's tears with a handkerchief.
The drama came to an end. Lin Enyi put down the stone in his hand and walked forward with excitement on his face.
"Lin Enyi greets the young lady!"
After saying that, he knelt on one knee in front of Old Lady Su.
Old Mrs. Su looked surprised.
Everyone in the Su family also looked at Lin Enyi.
"Are you... Guard Lin?" Old Mrs. Su looked at Lin Enyi for a moment and said in surprise.
"It's me..." Lin Enyi's voice was choked.
The surprise on Mrs. Su's face turned into excitement.
"Guard Lin, get up quickly!"
Lin Enyi knelt there without moving.
"I deserve death!" Lin Enyi said with deep remorse, "I failed to protect the young lady back then, causing her to be bullied in the mansion and later nearly killed. Please punish me, young lady!"
Old Mrs. Su shook her head.
"What happened back then has nothing to do with you."
Lin Enyi is just a guard, how could he know what’s happening in the inner house?
What's more, when she and her wet nurse were fleeing, Lin Enyi was not in the capital.
"No! It's my fault! My life was saved by the young lady. I swore to follow her and protect her for the rest of my life, but in the end..."
But when the eldest lady needed him the most, he went out of the capital on business with the Duke.
"I failed to protect my master, please punish me, Miss!" Lin Enyi insisted.
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
Why is Guard Lin so stubborn?
"I am no longer a young lady. The past is over and there is no need to mention it again." Old Mrs. Su had no choice but to say.
Grandma Du suddenly reached out and slapped Lin Enyi on the head.
"Little Lin, the young lady said she won't punish you, so hurry up and get up." Grandma Du said angrily, "But this slap is for the old Duke. Who told you to run around with Lin Hong instead of staying in the mansion and protecting the young lady?"
"It's all my fault." Lin Enyi admitted his mistake with a good attitude.
He originally wanted to stay with Lin Hong, make more contributions, and have a higher status so that he could support the eldest lady.
Who would have thought that the young lady would almost be killed?
Old Mrs. Su was still very happy to see Lin Enyi.
However, Old Man Su was not very happy.
For some reason, I felt a little displeased with Lin Enyi.
Little Tangbao was held by Big Brother Su. He looked around and saw that everyone was watching the show with great interest. He felt deeply that the topics his family had created today were too many!
I'm afraid that for a long time to come, the entire village, and even the surrounding villages, will talk about their own affairs with relish.
After all, today there are people who come to watch the fun or to congratulate, and there are people from villages around and even from several nearby towns.
Xiao Tangbao expressed his worry that his family had become the center of people's entertainment and gossip.
It really enriches people's after-dinner conversation.
It has made outstanding contributions to the people's leisure life.
**
County Magistrate Zheng and his wife did not stay long. Knowing that the Su family had something to say, they hurried back to the county town after lunch.
Originally, Su Laoer was also going to go back to the county town, but since such a big thing happened to the Su family, County Magistrate Zheng simply kept Su Laoer.
It is obvious that no one in the Su family knows the true identity of Old Lady Su.
Now that Old Lady Su’s true identity has been exposed, the Su family will definitely hold a family meeting.
County Magistrate Zheng had thought everything through, but as soon as he boarded the carriage, his curiosity was aroused.
Today's melon was too big, and he felt a little full after eating it, so he had to vent.
"I never thought that Madam Su is actually the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion!" County Magistrate Zheng said with emotion.
Mrs. Zheng nodded sympathetically.
"That's right. The daughter of a dignified Duke should have been so precious and revered, but unexpectedly she ended up in the countryside and became a village woman..."
Mrs. Zheng shook her head regretfully.
Then, he looked at County Magistrate Zheng with bright eyes, and interpreted the word "gossip" particularly vividly.
"Master, do you think Fu Yaniang will finally... forgive the people from the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion?"
"That's... hard to say."
Magistrate Zheng pretended to be profound and gave a vague answer.
That depends on what the Duke of England tells Fu Yaniang.
County Magistrate Zheng said in his heart.
Madam Zheng rolled her eyes and said, "Judging from what Fu Yaniang said, she will definitely not forgive the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. However... I'm afraid the people in the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion won't let it go."
Madam Zheng paused at this point, then added with some disdain, "If for no other reason, it's probably because Fu Ya is determined to establish a relationship with the Su family. After all, their sickly young master is still missing, and no one knows whether he's alive or dead."
After hearing what Madam Zheng said, County Magistrate Zheng showed a hint of surprise.
When did my wife become smart?
He thought his wife would only think about how the Duke of England would apologize, how much property would be given, and how much dowry would be compensated...
Unexpectedly, his wife hit the nail on the head and thought the same thing as him.
"Alas! Fu Yanniang is so stupid. Since Duke Yingguo has come here to admit his mistakes and acknowledge our relationship, then we should ask the Duke's Mansion to return the property they embezzled from their eldest wife's family so that they don't let their enemies get away with it!" Madam Zheng said with regret, "It's just one more relative. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Duke Yingguo's Mansion is gone, the property is still there, right?"
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
Well, the lady is still the same lady.
