Zhao Jiao stood there, stunned, for a long time without moving, repeatedly muttering, "Impossible, impossible, impossible..."
If Su Ruojin is the missing legitimate daughter of General Su's mansion, then what are they?
If Su Ruojin isn't driven out of the Lin family mansion, wouldn't she and Lin Zhengshan become benefactors of General Su's mansion?
But now, they have not only kicked Su Ruojin out, but also taken her to court.
Thinking about what she had done, the regret that welled up in her heart tore at Zhao Jiao's heart, causing her pain and making it hard to breathe.
Zhao Jiao clutched her chest and stumbled to sit down, leaning on a chair for support.
"Master, what... what should we do? We've done so much to her..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengshan suddenly jumped up and slapped Zhao Jiao:
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't said you were afraid Qing'er would be unhappy and insisted on kicking her out, we wouldn't be where we are today."
Caught off guard, Zhao Jiao was stunned by the blow. After realizing what had happened, she was filled with rage and began to tear at Lin Zhengshan.
"I asked you before, and you agreed, saying that keeping her in the manor would just be a waste of money and a free meal. Why are you blaming me now?"
Lin Zhengshan was pulled by the hair by Zhao Jiao. In pain, he grabbed Zhao Jiao's hair back, and the couple started fighting.
Granny Zhang rushed over upon hearing the noise and quickly separated the two.
"My lord, my lady, what's wrong? Can't you talk things out?"
The two separated, their hair disheveled, straightened their clothes and sat on separate chairs, ignoring each other.
However, after this commotion, the two gradually calmed down from their initial shock and panic.
Zhao Jiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and spoke first: "That's right, Su Ruojin is a sentimental person. Even if she doesn't want to talk to us, she still cares about Mother."
You were raised by your mother; let's go to the capital and beg her for help.
With Mother's help, Su Ruojin will surely forgive us. As long as she puts a good word for us with General Su, we won't have to stay in this wretched place of Lizhou.
At this moment, Zhao Jiao realized that Madam Guanlin was calling her "Mother".
Lin Zhengshan also thought this method was feasible, after all, he had once called Old Madam Lin "Mother".
“Alright, let’s do as you say, Madam. Let’s pack up. I’ll ask for leave tomorrow and go to the capital to see my mother. I can also visit Qing’er while I’m at it.”
As night fell, Lin Zhengshan kept thinking about what would happen after arriving in the capital, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Suddenly, he heard a noise outside the door. Could it be that a thief had broken into the mansion?
Then Lin Zhengshan heard several muffled groans, one of which sounded like Zhang Mama.
He quietly got up and went to the window, moistened his index finger with saliva, poked the window open, and peeked out.
Upon seeing this, Lin Zhengshan was so frightened that he almost cried out, and he quickly covered his mouth.
Then several men in black jumped in from outside, and there were several constables and Granny Zhang lying on the ground.
Granny Zhang's head was tilted to one side, her eyes were wide open, and she was motionless, clearly no longer breathing.
Lin Zhengshan quickly shook Zhao Jiao awake, covered her mouth, pointed outside, and gestured for her to be quiet.
The sounds outside were getting closer, and Lin Zhengshan hurriedly explained to Zhao Jiao, pushed open the back window, and threw out a shoe.
He grabbed some clothes and scattered one by the window and another far away outside.
After doing all that, he pulled Zhao Jiao under the bed.
Just as the two had hidden under the bed, the door was bolted open with a sword.
Someone rushed to the large bed, only to find it empty. He reached out and touched the bed, then shouted, "The person ran away!"
