Chapter 19: So much nonsense, it seems you still don’t feel enough pain
"What a man who can't be brought back to life! What a shame that this can't be blamed on him!" Lin Qingyue laughed sarcastically.
"Alright then, I'll help you. After all, Lin Rufeng is the legitimate son of the Marquis's family. His life is indeed more precious."
"Shen Mo, instead of destroying yourself together, it's better to..." She came to Shen Mo again and said something.
Shen Mo, who had almost lost his humanity, gradually calmed down and looked at Lin Qingyue steadily.
After a moment, he said loudly: "Okay, I am willing to let go of my hatred and let Lin Rufeng go."
At the same time, the fangs disappeared and the vertical pupils slowly returned to adult pupils.
Only one sharp voice was still protesting: "Shen Mo, she is lying to you! You can't be fooled, Shen Mo, Shen Mo!"
"Shut up!" Lin Qingyue slapped Lin Rufeng on the head, sending him flying several feet. At the same time, a massive, twisted snake-like shadow flew out of Lin Rufeng's body, then suddenly stretched and scuttled away.
"Monster, where are you running to!" Xie Shouzheng shouted and chased out of the Marquis' Mansion with the men from Xuan Jingsi.
Lin Rufeng fell to the ground, motionless.
"Feng'er!" Zhou couldn't help but complain to Lin Qingyue, "How could you be so cruel to your brother? If anything happened to him, how would I live?"
Lin Qingyue said, "He's not dead, he just fainted. Carry him back to his room, let him rest for a night, he'll be back to health by tomorrow."
"Really?" Zhou was relieved. "Yue'er, I knew you wouldn't ignore your brother's life or death!"
"Is everything okay now?" Lin Xiao was a little worried, so he asked someone to check over. Sure enough, he saw that Lin Rufeng was still breathing, but was just temporarily unconscious.
Lin Xiao hurriedly ordered: "Carry the eldest young master down to rest."
The people from the city guard camp dispersed when they saw that the matter was over.
Some of the hot-blooded people spat at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion before leaving: "Good people are really not rewarded, and the harm will last for thousands of years!"
But, what can we do?
Even though the Marquis' Mansion is now far less glorious than that of its ancestors, it is still a wealthy and powerful family, and the legitimate daughter is the Princess of Jin.
Even if Lin Rufeng's dirty deeds were exposed, it would only damage his reputation and would not hurt him in the slightest. In fact, he could still rely on his ancestors' influence to live a prosperous and wealthy life for the rest of his life.
"Yue'er, how do you know those methods to deal with evil spirits?" After his son's matter was settled, Lin Xiao remembered to care about Lin Qingyue.
Lin Qingyue casually replied, "Of course I learned it among the common people. When I was young, I met a strange person who taught me some skills. If you want to know more, father, you have to start with your daughter's life story."
How could Lin Xiao dare to raise the issue of his background in front of Dongfang Yan? Wouldn't that expose Lin Ruzhen's identity as a fake daughter?
In this era of clear class distinctions, even those from poor backgrounds are looked down upon, let alone others?
Once Lin Ruzhen's true background is revealed, the aristocratic class will no longer tolerate her.
The good chess piece that the Lin family had carefully cultivated for more than ten years became a useless chess piece!
Lin Xiao quickly said, "Even if it's a fortuitous encounter, it's also your good fortune. However, most mystical arts are only used by the common people. You're the princess, so your focus should be on serving the prince and winning over the clan members."
Lin Qingyue sneered: "Ha~ What do you call this? Destroying the bridge after crossing it?"
"Yue'er! How did you talk to your father?"
Dongfang Yan didn't notice the question in the conversation between the father and daughter. He suddenly remembered something else and asked Lin Qingyue:
"What did you say to Shen Mo's ghost just now? Why did he just obey your orders and leave?"
Lin Qingyue shook her sleeves and said casually, "Oh, nothing. I just asked him to be magnanimous and let go of his hatred and go to reincarnation early."
Haha~ No way!
"Your Highness!" Lin Ruzhen, who had been hiding in the attic, saw that the crisis outside was over and hurried out to show herself.
When Dongfang Yan heard the delicate and weak cry, he remembered that Lin Ruzhen had been cast under a strange spell by Lin Qingyue.
"Lin Qingyue, remove the curse on Zhen'er."
"What spell?" Lin Xiao looked confused.
Dongfang Yan briefly explained the situation and then said to Lin Qingyue, "You must break the curse and promise me that you will never again resort to despicable means to harm others. I will let bygones be bygones."
"Ah!" Lin Ruzhen covered her mouth, extremely surprised, "So it was my sister who harmed me?"
Immediately, tears began to fall again. "Sister, even if I did something wrong, you can beat me or scold me. Why do you have to use such means to hurt me? Do you know that Zhen'er was in so much pain that she didn't sleep all night, and her tongue was so swollen that she couldn't speak. Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin who invited the imperial physician to treat me, the swelling and pain subsided, and I can barely speak."
Lin Qingyue chuckled: "Such nonsense, it seems you still don't feel enough pain."
"Lin Qingyue!" Dongfang Yan's face turned cold again, "Why do you always speak so harshly?"
When you just look at Lin Qingyue, you will find that she is smart and calm, and she will surprise you from time to time.
But once she was with Lin Ruzhen, her mean face was revealed, and all the good impression she had before was completely destroyed.
"I told you, there's no cure for this curse. Unless you live an honest life and stop telling lies, every lie you tell will cause a ulcer to form in your mouth. Over time, even your tongue will rot away. Even the most skilled healer can only provide temporary relief, but they can't cure the root cause."
Dongfang Yan said, "Lin Qingyue, you are far too vicious and adept at using spells to harm others. If I leave you outside, who knows what mad things you will do in the future. Come, capture the princess and imprison her in the dungeon of the palace!"
"Your Highness!" Zhou suddenly stood up and spoke up for Lin Qingyue for the first time in her life. "After all, you and Yue'er are husband and wife, and this is a marriage granted by the Emperor. You must not become enemies. As for Zhen'er..."
She glanced at Lin Ruzhen, no longer with the same loving kindness and blind trust as before.
"Zhen'er may have told some lies..."
"Madam!" Lin Xiao hurriedly spoke out to stop her.
He had selfish motives. One daughter had already been rejected by the prince, so he couldn't discredit the other.
Zhou said with tears in her eyes, "My Lord, you don't know. Just now, when Feng'er was possessed by the evil spirit and went mad and hurt people, I tried to save Zhen'er with good intentions. But she pushed me out. If Yue'er hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have died!"
If Dongfang Yan hadn't been by her side, she couldn't help but want to say one more thing: After all, he's not your biological child, you're an ungrateful bastard who can never be tamed!
Lin Xiao was shocked when he heard this: "Are you serious? Your mother treated you so well, Zhen'er, and you actually pushed her to death?"
Lin Ruzhen subconsciously defended herself: "I didn't do that. I didn't do that on purpose. It was my mother who lost her balance and fell out the door...Ah, it hurts!"
The tongue, which had originally subsided, swelled up again. Lin Ruzhen covered her mouth and trembled in pain.
Lin Qingyue smiled and held up three fingers. "That sentence just now contained three lies: I didn't do it, I didn't mean to do it, and Mother lost her balance and fell out the door."
"Since the imperial physician examined you, the medical records must have recorded how many sores you had in your mouth. Now, if we compare them and see if there are three new sores, we can verify your lie!"
She looked at Dongfang Yan with a smile: "Do you think you really understand her? You don't even know if what she said is a lie!"
