At this time, Mrs. Bu’s biological son Bu Wentao was hidden in the crowd, as if falling into an ice cellar.
But Bei Lingyao did not let him go.
She raised her voice and said, "Even my mother didn't tell me about Bu Puyu's death, so someone else must have done it."
"It was her fault. She just let it slip."
Since it involved her own son, Mrs. Bu spoke up quickly and decided not to let the dirty water be thrown on her son.
But even her mother couldn't control herself anymore. "Tao'er couldn't tolerate Pu Yu and forced Madam to get rid of her. It just so happened that Pu Yu was returning home with her coffin. It was the perfect time..."
"Slut, what nonsense are you talking about?"
When Bu Wentao saw him being dragged out, he immediately became anxious, "This young master has never been intolerant of Bu Puyu, let alone harming him. He is the commander of the Feiyu Guard and the adopted son of the Bu family. Keeping him alive will only benefit the Bu family. How could this young master be intolerant of him?"
Bu Wentao's call of "bitch" really lost people's favor. He himself didn't realize it, but many people frowned.
The word "bitch" should never have come out of Bu Wentao's mouth. After all, Lian Mama had served Madam Bu for decades, not to mention that she was Madam Bu's biological mother and Bu Wentao's biological grandmother.
"Jealousy, hatred, is that enough?"
Bei Lingyao knew how much Bu Wentao hated Bu Puyu. The fact that Madam Bu used Bu Puyu to provoke Bu Wentao and demanded that Bu Wentao pass the imperial examination before recognizing her was enough to make Bu Wentao murderous towards Bu Puyu.
He should have been able to return to his family ten years ago and become the respected Grand Tutor, and the only son of his family.
But he had been raised in a small landlord's home in the countryside for so many years. The gap was so huge that how could Bu Wentao be willing to give in?
"Why shouldn't I be jealous and resentful of him? I'm the Bu family's biological child, yet I can only be raised in a remote countryside, living under the protection of my eldest brother..."
Bu Wentao has survived these years by relying on his hatred for Bu Puyu.
"Taoer"
Mrs. Bu was horrified and tried to stop her son from speaking, but Bu Wen poured out all the resentment, jealousy, and hatred he had accumulated over the past ten years.
"Taoer"
Mrs. Bu really cried this time, and even her mother spat out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that she was very anxious.
Bu Wentao is her grandson, so she will subconsciously protect him.
Bei Lingyao simply used her spiritual sense to amplify the resentment and voices in their hearts.
Therefore, under the stimulation and control of their spiritual consciousness, they will express their inner resentment.
At this moment, no one could sympathize with Bu Wentao, although the life of a small landlord was certainly not as rich as that in the capital.
But Bu Wentao had no worries about food and clothing, and Mrs. Bu secretly sent people to protect and serve him, so he did not suffer any grievances.
But the person Bu Wentao should blame the most is Mrs. Bu.
No one stopped him from returning to the Bu family. It was Mrs. Bu who disliked her son because he had been in a drama troupe and was too mediocre compared to Bu Puyu.
So he thought of raising him outside, using Bu Puyu to stimulate his growth, and only taking him back after he passed the imperial examination.
Mrs. Bu succeeded, but Bu Wentao was filled with resentment.
"Isn't all this Madam Bu's fault? If you want to hate someone, the one you should hate the most is Madam Bu, your biological mother. You were innocent, but you attacked Bu Puyu. The hands of you and your son, no, three generations of your family, are all stained with sin."
The Lin family and Bu Puyu were the most unfortunate.
Because Mrs. Bu lost her child, it was difficult for her to explain to the Bu family and Tutor Bu, and she was also in the wrong, so she targeted the infants and young children of the same age as her son in the Lin family.
He set fire to the entire family, killing hundreds of people in the Lin Mansion overnight.
Although this was done by Mrs. Bu, the Tu family is also involved.
Without the help from the Tu family, Mrs. Bu would not be able to do this.
Bei Lingyao knelt and bowed before Emperor Yongxi, saying loudly, "I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter and severely punish Madam Bu, Mother Lian, Bu Wentao, and the Tu family. This will save the entire Lin family, Bu Puyu, and the innocent lives of Lvliu."
The Tu family members who were watching were suddenly shocked.
Although... they were indeed involved in the Lin family's affairs.
The Lin family and the Tu family lived next to each other. The Tu family was a group of noble military generals, while the Lin family was a group of noble literati.
There was no conflict originally, but the Tu family had planned to take the girl from the Lin family as his second wife, so the two families fell out.
Although the Tu family was a duke, most people would definitely be happy with it, but the Lin family was a noble family of scholars, so they naturally did not agree with their daughter marrying into the Tu family as a second wife, a second wife to two legitimate sons, one legitimate daughter, and several illegitimate children.
The girl from the Lin family also married far away in the south of the Yangtze River and lived a good life.
But after the two families fell out, they had no further contact.
It was only in the generation of Marquis Tu and Madam Bu that Marquis Tu and Minister Lin took a fancy to the Minister's wife, a cousin from the Wei Bo Mansion.
The wife of the Minister was an orphan, and she went to live with her aunt, the second wife of the Wei Bo Mansion, but the second wife married the illegitimate son of the Bo Mansion.
The wife of the Minister is beautiful and talented, especially in embroidery.
But no matter how outstanding she was, her orphan background meant that the powerful and wealthy would not marry her, but only want to take her as a concubine.
The same is true of the current Marquis Tu. He was the eldest son of the Marquisate and the eldest brother of Madam Bu. He had already married a long time ago and wanted to take the wife of the Minister as his second wife.
But the former Minister Lin was willing to marry her.
Between the main wife and the second wife, the minister's wife naturally chose to marry Minister Lin as his main wife.
This matter should have been covered up, but the two families happened to be neighbors, and those who couldn't get what they wanted were always making trouble. Seeing Minister Lin and his wife living a happy life, while his own backyard was a mess of chicken mats, Marquis Tu felt unhappy and often looked out at the sky through the wall.
The Marquis's wife, who was also the Crown Prince's wife, was even more unhappy because there was a vixen living next door who made her husband obsessed with her.
The Marquis's wife often whispered with her sister-in-law, Madam Bu. She knew that her sister-in-law was favored and could get whatever she wanted in the Tu family. Even she, the eldest sister-in-law and the head of the family, had to stay away from her.
It is also said that the Tu family has always wanted to marry into the Lin family, but the Lin family looks down on the Tu family, and the noble literati look down on their meritorious military generals.
Mrs. Bu had no good feelings towards the Lin family next door. The Lin family was getting worse with each generation, so why did they look down on the Tu family?
After losing her son, Mrs. Bu’s first thought was to take the Lin family’s son away, leaving them heartbroken.
But it’s not so easy to take the Lin family’s son away. It would be bad if he was recognized.
She decided to go all out and set fire to the Lin family's house. At that time, the Tu family could still occupy the Lin family's land and expand their house.
After all, the Tu family has many children and is blessed with a large number of legitimate and illegitimate children from several generations. They are unwilling to split up and move out, so it is best to use the Lin family to expand.
Madam Bu started the fire, and Madam Hou assisted. After the fire started, it was too late for Marquis Tu to stop it. He could only help to clean up the mess to prevent the Tu family from being traced back.
Just like that, the Lin family was gone.
The abandoned house of the Lin family was sold to the Tu family by a distant relative who showed up out of nowhere.
An evil deed was thus buried.
But now when the Lin family is mentioned, many people still have memories of them.
