Chapter 675 After my husband passed the imperial examination, I became his second wife (3)
Without the treacherous maid Qingyu to tip off Fang Yu'an, and Lin Shichu rarely going out, it was impossible for Fang Yu'an to "accidentally run into" her.
Fang Yu'an was extremely anxious, as he had very little money left and was in urgent need of help. Lin Shichu was the one he had set his eyes on, and he had even made a series of plans to get close to her. However, he did not expect that things did not develop according to his plan at all, and he could not even see Lin Shichu!
Fang Yu'an was so anxious that his mouth corners were irritated and had blisters. He also secretly ran to the Lin family's house to keep an eye on them, trying every way to contact Qingyu. He didn't know that Qingyu had been dealt with long ago.
But he watched for several days and didn't see Qingyu. He wanted to find someone to pass the message to the Lin family, but there was no one he trusted, and he didn't have the money to bribe other servants of the Lin family. Therefore, he could only watch the Lin family every day, unable to do anything.
Lin Shichu knew that Fang Yu'an would definitely not give up on her easily, so she didn't go out at all to see how he could create opportunities to run into her.
However, revenge still had to be taken, so Lin Shichu found a dark and windy night, found the small house that Fang Yu'an rented, and sneaked in.
Fang Yu'an did not read by candlelight at night. His plan to get close to Lin Shichu was not going well, and he had no mood to study at all. He simply went to bed early, which was convenient for Lin Shichu.
Lin Shichu took advantage of the moonlight coming in from the window and confirmed that the person on the bed was Fang Yu'an, so he ruthlessly lifted the stool beside his desk and smashed it hard on his right hand. Fang Yu'an immediately let out a shrill scream and jumped up from the bed.
Lin Shichu continued his attack and hit his right hand several times with a stool. He stopped only after he was sure that his right hand was shattered and he would never be able to write again.
"Ah... who are you? Don't, don't hit me!" Fang Yu'an begged for mercy with tears streaming down his face, "Master, please let me go..."
Seeing that the man was wearing night clothes and had his head and face covered, he thought Lin Shichu was a man.
Lin Shichu had no pity for him at all and broke his leg directly. She was kind and only broke one of his legs, and it was not a comminuted fracture.
Lin Shichu did not intend to kill Fang Yu'an. It would be more satisfying to let such a person suffer while alive. Anyway, his right hand was destined to be disabled, and he had no hope of passing the imperial examination. One of his legs was also broken. If he could not be cured, he would be a cripple. How could a poor, crippled scholar who could not pass the imperial examination live a good life? He could not farm and could not even support himself. He would suffer in the future.
Lin Shichu will not wait for him to grow up before taking revenge, she will take revenge as early as possible. She has no interest in such stupid ideas as "let him fall hard when he climbs to the highest point and is most proud of himself" or "only when he stands at the highest point will he be worthy of being my opponent" that others believe in.
If he didn't kill the enemy when he was weak, would he really wait until he became stronger? He might end up losing his life instead of taking revenge. Lin Shichu would never do such a stupid thing.
Lin Shichu left with satisfaction amid Fang Yu'an's screams. After turning a few streets and returning to the street where the Lin family lived, he changed back into his own clothes and returned to the yard quietly.
From then on, Fang Yu'an never showed up again. Although his classmates and friends felt sorry for him for having suffered such a disaster, the thing had already happened and they could only sympathize with him but could not help him.
Everyone was curious about who he had offended that would cripple his hands and feet and ruin his future. This method was too cruel.
Fang Yu'an was a man who had made it his lifelong goal to pass the imperial examination and became an official. He also had some talent, but it was impossible for him to take the examination again. One can imagine how big a blow this was to him. Everyone sympathized with him and at the same time began to reflect on themselves, recalling whether they had offended anyone who was difficult to deal with. So, for a while, many scholars took Fang Yu'an as an example and became amiable, completely different from their previous arrogance. This unexpectedly improved the students' attitude towards life, which was a pleasant surprise.
After Lin Shichu took revenge, she never thought about Fang Yu'an again. Of course, if possible in the future, she would also avenge the emperor and the sixth princess. However, Lin Shichu was just a rich man's daughter now and had never even been to the capital. She could not seek revenge on the emperor and his daughter for the time being and had to make long-term plans.
"Daughter, do you still remember Sun Ying from your uncle Sun's family? You played very well with him when you were little, and you even said that you would become his bride when you grew up. It just so happens that he hasn't married yet, and he's handsome, sincere and upright, so he's a good candidate for husband..." After returning from a social event outside, Lin's father suddenly said this to Lin Shichu.
When Lin Shichu saw him, his eyes were dazed, and he was obviously drunk, otherwise he would not have told his daughter so directly about husband and wife, but asked indirectly in private.
"Sun Ying? He was chubby when he was a child. Dad, I don't like fat people." Lin Shichu found the part about Sun Ying from the corner of his memory and said coquettishly. In fact, he was just looking for an excuse to shirk responsibility.
Father Lin shook his head and retorted: "Sun Ying is not fat. He is now handsome, polite and a good boy..."
"Dad, I don't like bald men. Uncle Sun, he has only a few hairs left on his head in recent years, right? It doesn't look natural with a wig. I heard that sons take after their fathers when it comes to baldness. When Sun Ying reaches Uncle Sun's age, he will definitely be bald. Sun Ying's son will definitely inherit his father and grandfather's baldness... Dad, do you want your grandson to have to wear a wig on his bald head in the future?" Lin Shichu saw that Lin's father was unwilling to give up trying to persuade her, so she had to give him a fatal blow.
Sure enough, when Father Lin heard her words, he was stunned. Because of his drunken and slow mind, it took him a long time to fully understand the meaning of her words. After understanding it, he shook his head in horror like a wave drum: "No, no, my grandson can't be bald!"
Lin Shichu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Lin's mother, and said, "If you want your grandson not to be bald, then Sun Ying is not a good candidate for a husband. Dad, you can rule him out."
"Okay, let's eliminate him." Father Lin agreed immediately.
Mother Lin couldn't help laughing. She smiled and said to Lin Shichu, "Don't worry. Even if your father likes Sun Ying, I won't agree to your marriage with him. Although Sun Ying is a good kid, his mother is not an easy person to get along with. She is always picky and stubborn. Whoever wants to be her daughter-in-law will suffer. I can't bear to see you marry into her family and let her torture you."
Lin Shichu nodded in agreement: "Yes, I can't bear any hardship, and I don't like Sun Ying, so of course I can't marry him. Dad is just daydreaming. If Sun Ying is really promising, Uncle Sun probably won't look down on me as his daughter-in-law."
