Chapter 24: Sure enough, he is stupid
"stop!"
Lin Zhiyi said coldly.
She had long regarded Chai Ya, the loyal girl, as her sister, but her second uncle gave orders as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Lin Zhiyi very annoyed.
"Second Uncle, Chai Ya's indenture contract has long been returned to her. She is now a good citizen. What are you trying to do? Even if you ask for help, you should have the attitude to ask for help."
Besides, this cart can only accommodate one person. If my second uncle wants my grandmother to get on it, where will my father go?"
Uncle Lin spoke slowly, "Your father is still young after all. I believe he's willing to give the cart to your grandmother, right, brother?"
Uncle Lin turned around and asked Lin Fu.
Lin Fu was about to speak when he was stopped by Lin Zhiyi, "The cart is mine, I don't agree."
Uncle Lin frowned, "She's your grandmother, how could you be so unfilial?"
Uncle Lin's roar immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned to look here.
Lin Zhiyi sneered. Using filial piety to pressure her? She refused to fall for it.
She loudly retorted, "For someone who coveted my dowry and wanted to strangle me, my second uncle told me she was my grandmother? How did she act like a grandmother?"
Lin Zhiyi's words tore Madam Wang's face apart. She didn't have much strength to begin with, and now she was trembling with anger.
Li Wenjing, who was lying on the cart, moved when he heard this.
"Zhu Sheng, who's talking?"
Li Wenjing could have ridden in the prison van, but he refused to sit in it and be watched by others.
He would rather walk to Fangzhou and break his legs than sit in a prison van and be pointed at like a monkey.
Finally, the court agreed to give him a cart.
In addition to Li Wenjing and Lin Fu, there was also a seriously injured adult riding in the cart, who had obviously been taken care of.
"My Lord, she is the daughter of Master Lin Fulin."
Lin Fu's daughter?
Although he had never seen it, he had heard of it.
Li Wenjing didn't have a very good impression of Lin Zhiyi.
During those days, Lin Fu was always worried. He once asked about it and found out that Lin Zhiyi was willing to risk her life to marry a poor scholar named Qin.
At that time, he just wondered how a person like Lin Fu could give birth to such a stupid daughter.
"Isn't she married? Why is she also in the exile group?"
"I heard that because the Lin family was convicted, the Qin family seized her dowry and kicked her out of the house with a divorce letter."
Li Wenjing thought to himself, he is indeed a fool.
But the unorthodox words she said just now made a lot of sense and didn't seem too stupid.
As Zhusheng was walking, the cart suddenly sank and he suddenly felt that he could not pull it anymore, so he stopped.
Then the master's two concubines climbed onto the cart by themselves.
"Go down, go down!"
Zhu Sheng drove him away.
The two concubines cried, "Your Highness, we are tired. After all, we are implicated by you. Can Your Highness just ignore us?"
Zhu Sheng said angrily, "Who told you to follow me? The master has already given you a letter of divorce. You have been abandoned by the family, so how can you blame the master? Don't forget how you entered the Prince's Mansion in the first place."
The two concubines were forced into the prince's mansion.
Li Wenjing knew that these two were Concubine Wen's people and were there to monitor him.
But they had the emperor's oral order, so Li Wenjing had to accept them.
I have never touched them so far, so they are not Li Wenjing's women.
No matter what happened to these two people, Li Wenjing had no sympathy at all. Their families treated them as pawns, and their suffering had nothing to do with him.
But what made Li Wenjing most sad was Zhangsun Yi. They had agreed to share joys and sorrows, and that as long as he ascended the throne, he would make her the queen.
But when he got into trouble, Changsun Yi broke off the engagement with him without hesitation.
Did she really not believe him? Did she not believe that he would come back one day?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Li Wenjing yelled, "Get out!"
The two concubines were startled and immediately jumped off the cart.
Lin Zhiyi also looked over there and saw the beauty beside Li Wenjing crying. Lin Zhiyi thought to herself, he is a man who has no sympathy for women.
"Uncle, just forget about it. The cart is mine, and my father has no say. If I leave my seriously injured father alone and give the cart to you, it would be the greatest act of filial piety. Get out of the way, and don't let me call the police."
Uncle Lin saw the escort coming towards him with a whip in his hand and a ferocious look, so he quickly made way.
After walking a few more miles, Lin Zhiyi saw his second uncle and third uncle fighting.
Only then did I realize that they took turns carrying Old Lady Wang, and they started arguing over who carried more and who carried less. In the end, no one carried her anymore, and Old Lady Wang walked by herself.
Old Lady Wang complained bitterly and cursed herself for giving birth to two unfilial sons.
Zhu Sheng was pulling a cart and encountered a small slope that he couldn't get up. Lin Zhiyi didn't want to meddle, but when he saw Mu Yunzhao coming over, he wanted to help Zhu Sheng push the cart.
Zhu Sheng also praised Miss Mu for being so kind-hearted.
When Lin Zhiyi saw this, he hurried over and said, "I'm coming too."
Zhu Sheng also smiled symbolically at Lin Zhiyi, "Thank you, Miss Lin."
Mu Yunzhao looked at Lin Zhiyi with some doubts in his heart.
Could it be that she was also reborn?
She must not let Lin Zhiyi ruin her plan.
Lin Zhiyi let out a fake smile. "You're welcome. My father just told me and my two brothers to look after the emperor on the way. No, to look after Master Li."
As Lin Zhiyi spoke, he looked at Li Wenjing on the cart, who was lying there motionless like a dead man. He should at least say thank you.
Mu Yunzhao finally put aside his doubts and said to Lin Zhiyi, "Master Lin is so kind."
He was a loyal servant, but unfortunately, he eventually died on the road to exile.
Because we set out late today, it was dark after only twenty miles, making it inconvenient to continue, so the team stopped.
Even though it was only twenty miles, it made these people very tired.
Some people even sat down and started crying.
The second and third branches of the Lin family also complained bitterly and hated Lin Fu even more.
Looking at the eldest branch of the Lin family, they were also tired, but they didn’t seem as tired as those people.
Lin Zhiyi looked around and saw that there was no village in front and no shop behind. He was afraid that he would have to camp here for the night.
Seeing that everyone was so tired that they collapsed on the ground, they didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not. Some people sat on the ground, and some people lay directly on the ground. It took a while for them to recover.
"Mom, please rest here first. I'll go get some firewood."
Lin Zhiyi said.
The temperature difference in spring is large and it is still very cool at night.
If we don’t light a fire, it will be a very difficult night.
Mrs. Song hurriedly grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Let your two brothers go. You sit down and rest."
Besides, how could she feel at ease letting her daughter go out alone in the wilderness to collect firewood?
Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan quickly agreed, "Yes, sister, take a rest and let us go."
"Big brother and second brother are tired of pulling the cart, so I'll go. Don't worry, I won't go far, I'll stay here. If anything goes wrong, I'll call big brother and second brother."
Lin Zhiyi got up and left.
When Chai Ya saw this, she hurriedly followed.
With Chai Ya following them, Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan felt relieved.
Lin Xiuyan said: "Why do I feel that my sister is different?"
Lin Xiuran also echoed: "Sister has become sensible and knows how to care for us."
Lin Xiuyan retorted, "My sister is very sensible, okay?"
Lin Xiuran smiled: "Yes, yes."
Because they were in the wild, there were still many trees nearby. Lin Zhiyi and Chai Ya picked up a lot of dead branches in a short time.
They each came back with a bundle of firewood.
Seeing this, Madam Zou immediately had an idea. She ran forward to stop Lin Zhiyi and said, "Zhizhi, the Lin family hasn't split up yet. The firewood you picked up will naturally go to the second and third branches."
