Chapter 121 The Best Mother-in-law's Handbook 43
Zhu Dalang stayed at home doing nothing for a few days. He was so bored that he went to find his biological father. Looking at the father and son, Ji Changsheng, who looked younger and younger, looked more like Zhu Dalang's son.
During the years in Beijing, Zhu Dalang did not have a good life. As a country man who only knew how to farm, he was an outlier in the marquis's mansion. Most of the servants in the mansion looked down on him for his status.
He knew his own limitations and never caused any trouble. He stayed quietly in the small courtyard, following the example of the gardeners in the mansion and clearing out a small plot of land to plant some flowers and plants.
But he could never raise the baby well, which made him even more frustrated.
People who are depressed all year round gradually look old.
Ji Changsheng tried to be calm about this adopted son, who was almost thirty years old. Thinking that he had spent half his life working in the fields, he asked Feng Boxian to arrange an unemployed job for him on the royal farm. He only needed to go to the fields every day to observe the growth of the crops, and he would also receive a monthly salary of two coins.
Upon hearing that he could continue farming and receive such a high monthly salary, Zhu Dalang immediately packed up his bags and went to work immediately.
Holding the person in his arms, he coaxed softly, "He has finally gotten what he deserved. You can rest assured!"
She opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain her feelings at the moment. She wasn't worried, she was just a little sad for Liu Fengniang, "My dear, I..."
"No need to explain, I understand. I just want you to be happy." Somehow, this may be the most fundamental reason for his existence?
Such a morbid, crazy life, lived only for one person, can actually make people addicted.
…
After receiving the divorce letter, Lin couldn't wait to go to the old lady's yard.
The old lady's yard was bustling with activity at the moment, with her children and grandchildren gathered together to chat. When Lin came in, everyone maintained a respectful demeanor.
The old lady sat on a low couch with carved mahogany flowers, and on both sides of her were row of chairs with red cushions with auspicious cloud patterns. The girls sitting there were all pretty and were talking to each other in a sweet way.
"Mother!" Lin walked closer and bowed politely.
"Well! Please sit down! It's a coincidence that we came here today. Sisters Shuxian and Zhenghuan also came early this morning. Taking advantage of the beautiful spring weather, sisters Xiaotao and Xiaoxing can also go on an outing together." He paused, adjusted the beads in his hand, and then patted the back of Xiaotao's hand. "I heard that the prince will also be accompanying you. You two engaged couples don't see each other often, so take advantage of this rare opportunity to get along well. It's a rare fate!"
"Grandma, please stop teasing your granddaughter, otherwise my sisters will laugh at me." Zhu Xiaotao, no, now her name is Li Mutao, two red clouds flew on her fair and clear cheeks.
Lin was also proud of having given birth to such a promising daughter. She turned her eyes and looked at the two little girls born to her sister, feeling secretly proud. Even if her status was high, if she could not win the heart of the prince, she could only choose a young man from an ordinary family to be the mistress of the backyard.
And if her daughter can really take a step forward, then she can definitely become the queen!
A group of sisters invited each other out of the old lady's yard. After seeing that everyone had left, Lin told the old lady about her divorce.
The old lady then raised her eyelids slightly to look at this rebellious concubine's daughter. Who could have thought that this concubine's daughter who looked quiet and well-behaved on weekdays would actually covet her sister's man, use some trickery to climb into her brother-in-law's bed, and leave a seed of evil in her belly.
If there had been no accident at that time and this careless concubine had been killed directly, she would not have had the fate she has today.
The title of the Marquis of Pingnan will be downgraded by his son's generation. If he can make a contribution to the emperor, then their mansion may be able to move up a level.
The desire to kill this concubine's daughter that day had long faded away. The daughter and son-in-law had been treating each other with respect over the years. Even if Xiaotao was brought back to the Duke's Mansion, she would be the third daughter of the Duke's wife returning to her ancestral home. Xiaotao had a decent identity, and it would not be a big deal for her to marry the prince of the royal palace.
"Since you're getting divorced, what are your plans?" The old lady was really worried that this concubine's daughter would cause trouble again.
Lin only smiled calmly, "Mother, I just want to stay by your side and serve you wholeheartedly."
"...If you have someone you like, come and tell me. If she is suitable, the Marquis' Mansion will not let you down!" Just marry an honest man and serve your parents-in-law with peace of mind. As long as she doesn't make any mistakes, she doesn't care whether she is good or bad.
Lin lowered her head and did not respond. There were some things that she would fight for on her own. What was the point of relying on others?
After returning to the yard, Lin changed into a plain dress. With her slender figure and pretty face, she did not look like a woman who had given birth to three daughters.
She combed her hair back into the bun she had in her boudoir, and walked out of the door with confidence, followed by her mother-in-law and maid.
As soon as Lin left the house, the old lady received the news, "She left? Do you know why?"
Mammy shook her head, not knowing. "She just said she was going to the shop to have a look."
"Yeah! Remember to have someone follow you and don't let them out of sight."
"Don't worry, old lady. That child is very smart!"
The shop Lin was going to was her aunt's dowry, a large spice shop. All the spices there were made by Lin herself, and it was very popular among the noble ladies in Shangjing. The shop's daily income was considerable. Over the years, relying on this shop, Lin had accumulated a considerable fortune.
But she didn't have the heart to check the accounts at the moment. She pushed open the door and went into the inner room of the shop. The old woman and the maid were guarding outside the door.
After entering the inner room, Lin pulled open the bookshelf behind the table. Behind the bookshelf was a hollow wall. As she went deeper inside, she found a room with gorgeous decorations.
"Finally you're here, my dear. I've been waiting for you for half a day. Let me have a little..." As soon as Lin entered the room, a figure suddenly appeared from the side, hugged her and started to touch her all over. Lin was annoyed in her heart, but she kept clinging to him coquettishly, with an obedient look of wanting to get whatever she wanted.
"Master Kun, I'm a free woman now. When will you marry me?" Lin lay in Li Guangkun's arms. Her fair, round fingertips drew teasing circles on the chest of the somewhat chubby man.
"Oh? Your peasant husband is willing to divorce you?" He was still thinking that if the man continued to pester him, he would just kill him. Now it saved him a lot of effort.
The wife of low status had died half a year ago. If he wanted to marry again, there were many women waiting in line, but they could not help him. This Lin was a sister of his brother's wife, so he married his sister-in-law's younger sister.
Hehe, that’s no different from playing with your sister-in-law!
What's more, Lin is a knowledgeable and interesting woman, and she is very good at serving men in bed. In addition, she has a daughter who is about to marry into the royal palace and become the Crown Prince's consort. He is also very happy to be able to surpass his elder brother in this regard.
Thinking that this woman had once had a romantic relationship with his brother, he was determined to get Lin.
"I'll tell my mother when I get back. Darling, just wait for me to carry you in a sedan chair and marry you!" Li Guangkun held Lin's soft hand tightly, stroking the smooth and cold white skin, his heart surging.
Li Guangkun, who would never let himself be wronged, immediately turned over and covered her with his fat body.
