Chapter 313: What Kind of Wind Is This?
When Mr. Lin San heard Mr. Lin Er say this, he believed it.
After all, even now, people in the capital still talk about the Lin family’s second daughter’s extravagant dowry.
But no one knew that most of the dowries were actually the dowry of the eldest lady of the Lin family.
Perhaps someone knew, but due to the power of the Duke's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion, no one dared to say it out loud.
Mr. Lin San thought about the grand ceremony when his second sister got married, and suddenly he understood why his second sister wanted to murder his eldest sister.
If my eldest sister were still alive, my father would definitely give all of my aunt's dowry to her as a dowry.
In that case, the second sister would be surpassed by the eldest sister in terms of dowry alone.
My second sister has always been strong-willed, how could she do this?
Uncle Lin San felt a chill in his heart, and felt that his second sister was really scary and unfamiliar.
"Even so, what belongs to elder sister should be returned to her!" Mr. Lin said, gritting his teeth.
If he didn't know about this, it would be fine, he could still deceive himself.
Now that they know that the eldest sister is still alive and was murdered by the second sister, it is reasonable for the Lin family to atone for their sins.
The old lady was lying on the bed, her eyes wide open and her face full of anxiety.
“Ahhh… No, don’t…”
The old lady was so anxious that she managed to utter a few clear words.
Mr. Lin Er and Mr. Lin San, as well as Mother Wang and Mother Li all came over.
"Mom, what do you mean..." Master Lin asked tentatively.
"R-Ruru... you are kind-hearted... ah... please... apologize..."
The old lady stared and uttered a few words intermittently.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Mr. Lin's face.
Third Master Lin guessed, "Mother wants us to... go and apologize to Big Sister?"
“Ah… yes…”
The old lady moved her head, trying to nod.
But when I got anxious, drool started to flow from the corners of my mouth.
Mother Wang hurried forward and wiped the old lady's face with a handkerchief.
"Don't worry, mother. It is natural for me to apologize. Even if you don't say it, I will go and apologize to my elder sister." Mr. Lin San said.
After all, it was his own sister who did something wrong.
What's more, it was also her mother's doing, or perhaps even her connivance.
Mr. Lin Sanye really didn't dare to think about this.
He didn't want to believe that his own mother knew about this or was involved in it.
Mr. Lin Er said, "Mother, I'm going to ask you a question. Do you know anything about what happened back then?"
The old lady's eyes moved and she looked at Mr. Lin, a trace of sadness flashed in her turbid eyes.
Mother Wang quickly defended the old lady, "Second Master, the eldest daughter was raised by the old lady herself. She has always treated her as her own daughter, just like the second daughter. If the old lady knew the second daughter would do such a thing, how could she not stop her?"
After hearing this, Mr. Lin heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mother, since Second Sister was the sole perpetrator, she should apologize to First Sister and return First Aunt's dowry." Second Master Lin said, "To be frank, a married woman is like spilled water. Even if First Sister wants to file a complaint, she can only sue Second Sister in the Shangshu Mansion. How can our Lin family be solely responsible for Second Sister's mistakes?"
Mr. Lin San was stunned.
"Second brother means... the Lin family will not be involved in this matter?" said Mr. Lin San.
"What else? Do we really have to sell off our property to atone for Second Sister's sins?" Second Master Lin said helplessly, "And then our whole family will be left with nothing?"
"Dad...will you agree?" asked Uncle Lin San uncertainly.
Master Lin, “…”
Of course I disagree.
If he agreed, why would he be so worried?
Mr. Lin immediately wilted.
His father is now filled with guilt towards his elder sister, and he wants to compensate her with all his heart.
What's more, when my second sister did such a vicious thing, she was not married yet.
His father blamed himself for not raising his second sister well and took all the responsibility on himself.
Of course, his father will definitely settle the score with his second sister.
But, so what?
The second sister is now in the Shangshu Mansion, what can his father do?
Mr. Lin Erye was full of vicissitudes of life.
After thinking about it, I felt that unless the eldest sister went to complain, revealed what happened that year, and asked the second sister for the dowry.
However, if that happened, the Lin family's reputation would be ruined.
I’m afraid none of the girls in the Lin family will be able to get married.
Not only that, those who are married off will probably be ridiculed by their husband’s family, or even divorced.
After all, the Lin family is now powerless.
In fact, Mr. Lin knew that even if the eldest sister sued the second sister, she would probably not win.
The Shangshu Mansion will definitely not sit idly by.
What happened back then happened so long ago that it is difficult to verify. The second sister will not admit it and may even accuse the eldest sister of false accusation.
Moreover, since ancient times, people have not fought with officials.
If the elder sister was sure that she could get justice, she would not have kept her identity secret for so many years.
After thinking about it, Mr. Lin felt that his heart was full of holes.
If his second sister Lin Wanyu was here, he would probably not be able to control himself and beat his second sister up.
"I'll write to my second sister right now and ask her to come to Fengqi County." Mr. Lin made up his mind and said, "She has done something herself, so there's no reason for me to stay out of it!"
"That's fine." Third Master Lin nodded. "No matter what, Second Sister should come and apologize to Big Sister."
“Ahh… Oh, I’m going…”
The old lady shouted anxiously.
Third Master Lin frowned, "Mother, are you saying...you're going to apologize to Big Sister?"
“Ah… yes… yes…”
Third Master Lin said, "...Okay, my son and I will go and apologize to Big Sister."
"My son will go too." Mr. Lin also said.
Although he kept saying that he wanted to get out of the Lin family, he also knew that his parents were responsible for their failure to educate him.
What's more, her mother meant that her elder sister was kind-hearted and would definitely not watch the Lin family go bankrupt as long as they sincerely apologized.
Mr. Lin looked at his mother lying on the bed with complicated thoughts and sighed.
Could it be... this is really the Lin family's retribution?

Daliushu Village.
Xiao Tangbao respectfully handed the graffiti in his hand to Yu Zhilan.
"Master, please bear witness."
Yu Zhilan looked at the little girl, a satisfied expression on her face.
It is rare for someone so young to be able to sit for such a long time to learn painting.
Yu Zhilan thought so and moved her eyes to the paper.
Then--
His brow furrowed, "What is this?"
"Dabai." Little Tangbao answered in a baby voice.
Yu Zhilan's heart skipped a beat as she thought of the little black dog from the Su family.
"Does that dog look like this? Is its head this big? Are its legs this thin? Its mouth..."
Yu Zhilan made a series of comments with a look of disgust on her face.
Little Tangbao was helpless.
As a master, my aesthetic sense is not very good.
I'm still a baby, is it necessary to draw so conventionally?
It's quite good that she can draw like this with a brush.
"Master, don't you think this is cute?" asked Xiao Tangbao.
Yu Zhilan, “…”
After taking a closer look, it seems, indeed... very cute.
"Humph! It's so ugly! Stupid!"
A cold yet childish voice rang out.
The corners of Xiao Tangbao's mouth twitched, and he turned around to look at Xuanyuan Jin.
Hey little brother, what's going on with you lately?
