Chapter 170 Retribution
In addition, Lin Pianran hired someone to secretly add fuel to the fire, and the people spread the story of the prince by word of mouth. The prince's deeds became extremely widespread, and everyone praised this benevolent and righteous prince.
After lunch, Lin Pianran swaggered out with her three personal maids.
He ran straight towards the Lin family.
The four of them were walking on the street. At this time, Lin Chumo's deeds had spread throughout the streets and alleys and everyone knew about it.
The focus of everyone's conversation revolved around him.
It is said that among the five women, the first one to attack Lin Chumo was, just as Lin Pianran expected, the Princess Qinghe, who had the highest status and the most arrogant temperament.
She brought a large number of strong guards and rushed to the gate of the Lin family in a mighty manner.
When Princess Qinghe arrived at the Lin family, all she saw was the dilapidated ruins of the Lin residence. The once glorious mansion had now almost become a desolate ruin.
When Lin Pianran and the others arrived at the dilapidated gate of the Lin family, Princess Qinghe had just arrived.
She was at the Lin Mansion and did not meet Lin Chumo. She was standing in the crowd, looking around and listening quietly to everyone's discussions.
At the charred and dilapidated gate of the Lin family, a group of curious onlookers had gathered. They were standing or leaning, their eyes cast towards this weathered courtyard, talking among themselves, pointing fingers at Lin Chumo's affairs, and all kinds of speculations and judgments were noisily intertwined.
"The Lin family now only has Lin Chumo as a legitimate master. Their house was burned into such a horrible state. Could it be that some young girl who was deceived by him was so angry at his despicable behavior that she deliberately retaliated and hired someone to burn down the Lin family mansion?"
"Yes, I also think this possibility is very high. Otherwise, who would go out of their way to stir up trouble and set fire to the mansion of an official for no reason?"
"But it's what the Lin family deserves. Who made Lin Chumo behave so unkindly?"
"Indeed, this Lin Chumo is so disgusting. He's so reluctant to get married. I thought he just hadn't met the woman he likes! Turns out he's just had too many women to choose from!"
"How can this be called being dazzled? This is clearly a case of flirting with women and fishing! He's caught so many big, beautiful fish! How daring! Isn't he afraid of the retribution he'll receive when his deeds are exposed?"
"How can this be called fishing? This is like raising a large pond of fat fish. They are either the daughters of powerful nobles or the daughters of wealthy merchants. Each one is extraordinary and profitable. Not to mention, Lin Chumo's vision is really sharp!"
"This Lin Chumo is simply an octopus, showing mercy everywhere. His claws are so long that he is not afraid of being chopped off by others..."
"I secretly thought that this Lin Chumo deserved the title of 'the ultimate scumbag'. His behavior was so abhorrent that it made me grit my teeth and I wished he would receive the punishment he deserved immediately. His actions clearly showed that he was toying with the feelings of those innocent girls. It was outrageous! Even if he was cut into pieces, it would not be enough to appease the public anger and vent my hatred."
"Lin Chumo has done such despicable things. I think the elders of the Lin family have long been aware of it. However, not only did they not discipline him, but they condoned him and allowed him to cheat the world. In my opinion, Minister Lin is not just a failure of discipline. In fact, he allowed his son to do evil and cheat, and he himself cannot escape responsibility. I am afraid he is not a good person!"
"Yes, Minister Lin and Madam Lin also bear unshirkable responsibility for such a terrible incident. The Lin family's upbringing is truly disappointing!"
"You always like to point the finger at the men, but why do you ignore those foolish and ignorant women? They've grown up so much, haven't they only grown in years, not brains? From childhood to adulthood, I'm really sorry for all the food they've eaten. It's simply wasted. They might as well donate it to the victims!"
After hearing the people constantly insulting the deceived noble ladies, Princess Qinghe, who was standing in the crowd, was even more furious and gnashed her teeth in anger.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her flesh, and blood kept dripping down her palms, but she was completely unaware.
It can be seen that love turned into hate, and he deeply regretted his past foolish and ignorant behavior.
As the most prestigious noblewoman in the capital, she was not only deceived by others, but also made the scandal a big scandal in the city, losing face and eventually being branded as stupid and ignorant.
How can I be willing to suffer humiliation?
If you are unwilling to accept the result, you can only find the culprit, use him as a punching bag, and vent your anger on him.
She ordered the guard leader beside her, "Go find that abominable liar and bring him back. If you can't kill him, then beat him half to death!"
"I must chop off that hand that can only draw portraits and write love poems! Let's see how he can please girls in the future."
"Also, it's best to do it without anyone noticing. Don't let anyone find out."
"We'll slowly settle the rest with him later!"
Lin Pianran stood in the crowd, eating delicious preserved fruits with relish, while listening to the people's constant cursing. They cursed the sky and the earth, the scumbag men and the stupid women, and cursed all the members of the Lin family from top to bottom, from old to young.
It is indeed very interesting to eat melons and watch the show.
It feels so good to watch your hated enemy being attacked by everyone!
Just as we were enjoying our meal, we saw several officers and soldiers hurriedly approaching us carrying a stretcher.
The person lying on the stretcher was Lin Chumo, who was covered in blood. His legs were broken and wrapped in thick white cloth, which was still oozing blood, like a mummy.
The areas on the face that were licked by the fire last night were also bandaged. It was said that the burns were mainly concentrated on the cheek on the left side of the ear, shoulders, neck and left arm. They were not very serious, but would definitely leave permanent scars.
As a man who was once famous for his appearance, who used it to attract women and gain fame, power and wealth, these injuries were undoubtedly fatal.
This completely destroyed his livelihood relying on his looks.
Looking at Lin Chumo's disheveled and lifeless face, Lin Pianran couldn't help but recall that he was in the study last night, looking energetic and high-spirited.
It really pales in comparison!
They are completely different people!
In just one night, Lin Pianran had stepped him into a bottomless quagmire, and he was in such a miserable state that he couldn't escape.
This situation is really sad!
