Seeing that she had piqued the young lady's interest, Dongmei didn't use riddles and went straight to the point: "Isn't Miss Lin a big fan of reciting poetry? Someone saw her reciting a bunch of love poems, and the way she spoke was so tender that it was obvious she had someone she loved."
"This sweetheart is none other than Zheng Fangjing, a student once taught by Grand Tutor Lin. He is quite a talent, having passed the imperial examination at the age of twenty-five. But no one expected that he had already married and had two children in the countryside, and even lied to Miss Lin that he was unmarried."
Qingyin frowned: "This man is shameless, and Lin Yaxian is a fool too, she actually got fooled by such a person."
Songzhi nodded, echoing her mistress.
Looking at the indignant young lady, Dongmei smiled and continued, "This Miss Lin is also very devoted. She actually said that she would marry no one but him, and even said that Zheng Fangjing was misunderstood, that the woman and child were not his, and that the first one was just a bad match, and that the one who is loved should be blessed. This made Grand Tutor Lin so angry that he even pinned her down in the room."
Qingyin: "..."
It has to be said that if this Miss Lin were to have many conversations with modern mistresses, her trendy and shameless thinking would surpass that of many ladies in ancient times.
Dongmei said that it was a complicated matter, her brows furrowing slightly: "The key point is that she not only wrote a letter to someone claiming that she would leak the exam questions, but somehow the letter was discovered and published to the public. Grand Tutor Lin is one of the examiners for this exam, and this matter has become the talk of the town in the capital. These past two days, it's been circulating in every alley and restaurant in the capital. I wonder how the Emperor will deal with it?"
Well, Qingyin silently mourns for the Lin family, the Lin family, who were betrayed by their own daughter. This "filial daughter" is really too "filial".
Songzhi also sighed, "I don't know what Miss Lin is thinking. Is she really not afraid of the Emperor's wrath?"
The group nodded knowingly.
Meanwhile, in the Grand Tutor's residence, under the dim light of the candlelight, Grand Tutor Lin slapped Lin Yaxian hard across the face, wishing he hadn't strangled this bastard child at birth. His deep eyes were dim and unclear in the bright candlelight.
"You bastard, I should never have given birth to such a scourge!"
Standing beside him was Lin Changxin, who was also expressionless. He coldly looked at his sister on the ground, whose face was swollen from being beaten. If she weren't his own sister, he would have already killed this scourge without a trace.
Lin Yaxian, dizzy from the beating, looked at her father and brother, who were different from their usual terrifying selves. She felt deep regret for what she had done. She lay on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and clung to her father's robe. "Father, I was wrong. I won't do it again. I... I will never do it again."
Grand Tutor Lin kicked away Lin Yaxian, who was clutching his clothes, and stared at her for a while without revealing any emotion. Finally, after half an incense stick's time, he said calmly to his eldest son, "The Lin family doesn't need a Miss Lin who's a burden. Changxin, you know that, right?"
