Chapter 217: Frustrated
Su Qingfeng has a half-brother who is very good at business. Although he is a concubine's son, he is a very kind person and has a very good relationship with Su Qingfeng.
Later, he became an imperial merchant and his business was extremely prosperous. He opened shops in almost all the big cities of the Qin Empire and made a lot of money. It could be said that the money he earned was so much that the Su family could not spend it all in several lifetimes.
Since Lin Aodong and Su Qingfeng have not divorced yet, they are of course a family.
Asking Su Qingfeng to find a way to get him some money to spend, is this request not too much?
Thinking of this, Lin Aodong was as happy as if he had eaten honey, and a happy smile bloomed on his face.
I even feel that this matter is a sure win.
After all, Su Qingfeng loved him too much.
She always responded to his requests and never dared to disobey.
After making up his mind, Lin Aodong called the housekeeper and said, "Send someone to the manor tomorrow and respectfully bring my wife back to me!"
Unexpectedly, the next day, the housekeeper came in a panic and reported, "Master, the eldest lady is missing. She is not in the manor."
"Moreover, that manor had already changed hands half a month ago."
Lin Aodong was very confused after hearing this. "How could it change ownership? Isn't that Su Qingfeng's dowry farm? In recent years, her health has become increasingly frail. Hasn't she been staying in the farm to recuperate?"
"Yes! In recent years, Madam's health has become increasingly weak. If she stands for a little longer, she will faint from exhaustion. If she walks a few more steps, she will be out of breath and sweating profusely..."
"I have been living in seclusion, wasting my time in the manor."
Lin Aodong always felt that this matter was very strange, but if he couldn't find the person, how could he ask Su Qingfeng for the money?
How can we let this go so easily?
He asked indignantly, "Then why are they missing? Where are the servants? Are they all gone too?"
"Hurry up and find her. I want her alive or dead. I don't believe she could have grown a pair of wings and flown away on her own."
The housekeeper was so frightened when he saw Lin Aodong's murderous eyes that he ran away after receiving the order and disappeared in an instant.
It's so terrible!
Ever since Master Lin returned from the royal hunt, his temper has become extremely violent, like a completely different person.
If you say something that doesn't suit his taste, he will beat or kill you.
He would often punish his servants with a stick, and several servants who were not doing their job well had been beaten to death.
Even the concubines and aunts of the Lin family were cruelly dealt with by him, so he would not even bother with other people.
If he fails to do his job well, he will definitely not end up well.
The old housekeeper sent people to search everywhere, as if he was determined to find the person even if it meant digging three feet deep into the ground.
Finally, after much inquiry, he learned some useful information from an old maid in the mansion.
It turned out that Su Qingfeng had returned to her mother's home, the Marquis Wen Ding's Mansion, half a month ago.
I heard that Marquis Wen Ding sent someone to invite the most famous doctor in the capital to take care of her. It has been quite some time now, and her health has improved significantly.
The old nanny happened to meet Su Qingfeng's personal nanny on the street, and only then did she know that Su Qingfeng had returned home.
After hearing this, Lin Aodong smiled even more and all the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
"Prepare some presentable gifts immediately. I will go to the Marquis Wending's residence to personally bring the lady back."
Soon, Lin Aodong hurried towards the Wendi Marquis Mansion with two boxes of extremely shabby gifts.
When he arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Lin Aodong was momentarily distracted by the two extremely majestic stone lions at the door.
He hasn't set foot here for many years.
He and Su Qingfeng knew each other when they were teenagers, and after they became adults, they naturally got married.
When they first got married, they had a short period of sweet life.
However, not long after, Zhao Yurou intervened between the two of them.
Lin Aodong and Zhao Yurou hit it off almost immediately.
He also forgot about Su Qingfeng.
Even though Su Qingfeng had saved his life from bandits and nearly died for it, and even lost her fertility, Lin Aodong only felt more grateful towards her, and did not look at her differently or cherish her more.
However, men's bad nature of getting bored with the old and liking the new also made it impossible for Lin Aodong to treat Su Qingfeng wholeheartedly.
But Su Qingfeng is a gentle and virtuous woman with a very good temper. She always follows the principle of a wife's obedience. Even if Lin Aodong's attitude towards her is perfunctory, she has no complaints.
I have always been infatuated with you.
Lin Aodong continued to bring concubines into the mansion one after another. It could be said that he was a bridegroom every day, indulging in pleasure every night, always leaving Su Qingfeng alone, unable to sleep, crying until dawn...
Even though Su Qingfeng was respectful and obedient, he still found it extremely annoying.
Just because she occupied the position of the legal wife, Zhao Yurou could not be promoted to the legal wife smoothly.
So, under Zhao Yurou's constant instigation, Lin Aodong still wanted to kill Su Qingfeng.
In the past few years, he had ignored her and allowed the people in the mansion to abuse and humiliate her, letting her suffer all kinds of bullying. Even when Zhao Yurou gave her a chronic poison, he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.
He just felt that Su Qingfeng was a superfluous person in the Lin family, a dispensable and insignificant person who could be abandoned at any time.
Now, when he visited again many years later, Lin Aodong felt mixed emotions.
All the scenes from the past came flooding back to my mind like a roller coaster.
It made him feel a little ashamed.
The vows they made when they were in love kept ringing in his mind over and over again.
"I, Lin Aodong, hereby swear with my life that from now on, I will protect Su Qingfeng with all my heart and soul, cherish her like a treasure, respect her and love her. No matter how the world changes, I will never leave her and will stay with her until we grow old together."
Thinking of the oath he had made, Lin Aodong's steps seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds, almost too heavy to move forward.
But thinking of the wealth of the Marquis Wen Ding's Mansion, which rivaled that of a country, Lin Aodong shamelessly said to the doorman, "Please go in and announce that I'm here to take my wife back to the mansion."
The doorman was not very old and did not know this son-in-law.
His attitude was very cold. "Who is your wife? Why is she in our mansion? Please don't make trouble."
Lin Aodong put on a flattering smile and said, "My wife is Su Qingfeng. She is currently recuperating at your house."
After hearing this, the doorman rolled his eyes twice and said impatiently, "My aunt has been married for several years and has not returned to the Marquis' Mansion recently. Please go back!"
