When Daiyu saw Lin Ruhai enter, she quickly wiped away her tears, afraid of worrying her father again, and lowered her head slightly.
Lin Ruhai naturally saw through Daiyu's little actions, sighed, and sat down next to Daiyu. "That Granny Wang is Father's fault. I originally thought she was a good person, but you have suffered injustice."
Just because you think something is good doesn't mean it is good.
Pshaw, what an arrogant man!
They thought sending Daiyu to the Jia family for upbringing was for her own good.
It's a tragic world.
Lin Ruhai burst into tears. Seeing this, Shen Ajiao silently got up and left. It was inappropriate for her to be there when the father and daughter were having a heart-to-heart talk.
She thought it better to go for a stroll outside, since there were no scenes depicting the Lin family mansion in the Dream of the Red Chamber, which she found a bit disappointing.
Now let her see what a truly wealthy and cultured family looks like.
When the maids and servants saw Chen Ajiao come out, some helped her up, some held umbrellas for her, and some led the way. These were all old servants of the Lin family, and they had seen the master throw a huge tantrum outside.
Everyone could see that Granny Wang was trying to trip up the new lady, but she ended up losing more than she gained. The new lady calmly thwarted her plan, and Granny Wang was eventually dragged out and beaten to death by the master. Even Doctor Wang was handed over to the authorities.
"Madam, watch your step."
"Madam, this is Wangxia Pavilion. The young lady loves to be here the most..."
"Madam, this is the study, where Master usually handles official business."
...
Shen Ajiao didn't care about what the servants thought. In her eyes, they were no different from the employees in her company. She had seen plenty of opportunists. She was just a passerby. She mainly depended on Lin Ruhai's wishes.
But she was wrong. Right after finishing dinner, Shen Ajiao felt unbearable abdominal pain and coughed up a mouthful of blood. She stared at Lin Ruhai in disbelief.
[You scoundrel, you...you want to kill me?!]
Am I not pretty?
[Damn it, I don't want to die.]
Lin Ruhai, that old scoundrel, discarded him after he had served his purpose.
Lin Ruhai: It wasn't me, I didn't.
"Quickly, call a doctor!"
Daiyu looked at Shen Ajiao in a panic, feeling that the look Shen Ajiao gave her father before she fainted was very strange, and the look she gave Lin Ruhai after hearing the words was also very frightening.
Lin Ruhai had no words to express his suffering. Why did he have to harm her for no reason?
They hurriedly ordered someone to seize the best doctor in Yangzhou.
The returning Dr. Wang and his colleagues looked at the silver notes in their hands, took a deep breath, composed themselves, and with heavy steps, took a pulse, discussed, wrote a prescription, filled the medicine box, and brewed the medicine in one go.
Finally, goodbye.
On the carriage that took them back from the Lin residence, the group sighed, wiped the sweat from their brows, and looked at the armed guards sitting beside them.
"Hehe, the moon is really nice tonight. As the saying goes, the moon is fullest on the 16th, but the moon is also nice on the 13th."
"Yes, yes, Thirteen's is not bad either, not bad either."
"Hehehe..."
...
[Mom, I want to go home! Waaah, this place is no place for a human being!]
[Lin Ruhai deserved to die young; he served his purpose by discarding his usefulness. It was retribution! All retribution!]
[If I'm helping him, I'm a dog, a cat, a turtle!]
...
Lin Ruhai: My wife is so kind, they're all little animals...
No, let me explain!
Lin Ruhai looked at Shen Ajiao, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, with guilt. "Don't worry, I will never let the person who harmed you get away with it!"
What? It wasn't you, Lin Ruhai, who harmed me? Then who was it?
"I didn't expect the capital to make a move so soon. We've only been married for two days. If you die in my Lin family, it won't do me any good. But don't worry, I will definitely help you get rid of this poison."
Lin Ruhai sincerely apologized to Shen Ajiao, admitting that he had been careless and that he had been paying close attention to matters of officialdom, which had not affected his family.
【What? You mean your base was raided?】
Wow, wow, it seems there were always signs that someone was going to die young.
Lin Ruhai: So, can he live a few more years now?
Lin Ruhai was filled with remorse. His daughter had been poisoned for a long time, and now his newlywed wife was almost going to report to the King of Hell. He might be next. If he didn't do something, would he still be a man?
Lin Ruhai: Who knows who will die young? Madam, you'd better watch out!
Shen Ajiao ignored him. Who knew if he knew or not? If he did, he might be trying to poison her so that no one would know about the scandal in Lin Ruhai's family.
[Pah! People are treacherous. You think I don't know you're trying to poison me? And that no one else knows your shameful deeds.]
Hmph, men!
Lin Ruhai had no words to express his suffering. Even when Lin Daiyu walked in, he didn't notice. Daiyu wondered to herself, "Does Father really know?"
Seeing Lin Ruhai looking dejected, Lin Daiyu sighed. She should trust her father, but now that the new wife had woken up, she clearly did not want to see him. "Father, you have been taking care of things here all night. Go and wash up. Mother will be worried if she sees you like this."
【Pah! I'd rather worry about the big yellow dog by the door not eating than this jerk!】
He's definitely here to see if I'm dead or not. Humph, I won't let him have his way!
Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai exchanged a glance, both very relieved that the other could not hear Shen Ajiao's inner thoughts.
Lin Ruhai was also afraid that Shen Ajiao would suffocate, so he took his leave first, but he didn't forget to say to the person on the bed, "If Madam wakes up, please send someone to let me know."
Lin Daiyu naturally agreed, but did not do so. After her father left, she sat by the window and deliberately said to the outsiders, "The new wife will probably sleep for two or three days. Bring me the fan bag that I didn't finish embroidering last time."
