Chapter 250 Tortured
Li Wenjing paused.
Old lover?
Is Zhizhi trying to trick him?
"Madam, please don't joke with me like this."
Li Wenjing looked at Lin Zhiyi nervously and didn't even bother to eat.
Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh, "You really don't have an old lover?"
"I swear, I didn't." Li Wenjing raised his hand and swore.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. It's Xu Zhen'er who's here today."
They have been married for more than two years, and they get along in the Prince's Mansion as casually as they did in Fangzhou, like an ordinary couple.
Li Wenjing thought for a long time, but still had no idea who Xu Zhener Lin Zhiyi was talking about.
"Who is Xu Zhen'er?"
"She was your Consort Liangdi back then, don't you know her? She lived in the Prince's Mansion for a year."
Li Wenjing then remembered that this was indeed the case. Concubine Wen sent two women from good families to his house.
But he really didn't know the names of the two women.
"I don't know him."
"Well, what I want to tell you is that I was the one who persuaded Xu Zhen'er to escape. I even spent fifty taels of silver to help her escape."
Li Wenjing stared at Lin Zhiyi, then curled the corners of his lips.
Did Zhizhi start to like him from then on?
"I feel sorry for her. The man she married doesn't love her. Alas."
Li Wenjing felt a little disappointed. This was not the answer he wanted to hear.
"Of course, it's also because of you. It's also possible that I had some feelings for you back then, but I just didn't realize it. I also wanted to help you solve a big problem."
Li Wenjing's eyes flashed unconsciously.
"Guess who Xu Zhen'er married?"
Li Wenjing asked curiously, "Who?"
He suddenly thought of something, "Could it be the son of Lord Shen?"
Lin Zhiyi nodded. "She was the one who sent this letter. The reason Lord Shen agreed to your request was because Xu Zhen'er persuaded her husband, and then Lord Shen's son, Shen Huaixu, persuaded his father."
"Xu Zhen'er even gave me five hundred taels to thank me for helping her."
Li Wenjing picked up some of Lin Zhiyi's favorite dishes and put them in her bowl. "Zhizhi, you've helped me a lot."
"I thought you would blame me for letting him get away."
"How could that be? Zhizhi did a great job."
"Well, Xu Zhen'er helped Your Highness. You must remember her kindness after you ascend the throne. Since she doesn't want to be the daughter of the Xu family, then grant her an imperial decree."
"As a husband, I always listen to Zhizhi."
After dinner.
Lin Zhi wanted to go and see if the child was crying, but Zhu Sheng came to report that Lin Fu and Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Revenue wanted to see him.
"The prince went out and told them to come back tomorrow."
"Princess, they said they were here to see you."
"Looking for me? What do you want from me?"
"I don't know either."
"Then let them in."
After a while, Zhu Sheng led people in.
Lin Fu and Lord Chen bowed, "Greetings to the Crown Princess."
"Father, Uncle Chen, please sit down."
After asking, she found out that the two people came to her to ask how to solve the problem that the sweet potatoes grown by the people would rot after being stored for a long time.
After Lin Fu returned to the capital, he was sent by the emperor to work with Lord Chen to be responsible for disaster relief.
Sweet potatoes can be grown in all regions except extremely arid areas.
Now we have a good harvest of sweet potatoes, but we don’t know what to do with them.
Sweet potatoes are not like corn, they will rot over time.
"How about this, our Lin family will step in and buy all the sweet potatoes from the people."
Lin Fu was worried. "The Lin family is collecting so many sweet potatoes. Not only is money a problem, but how many sweet potato cellars will we need to build to store them?"
"Dad, who said we should store it? Have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Lin Fu paused.
What did Zhizhi tell him before?
Yes, she seemed to have mentioned this issue. It can be made into vermicelli, sweet potato starch, rice paper and so on.
However, in the first year of sweet potato planting, not many sweet potatoes were harvested from the field, so they were all left for sweet potato seeds.
The next year, Zhizhi became pregnant and was not feeling well. They felt sorry for their daughter and did not allow her to do anything else, so the matter was delayed.
Lin Fu agreed: "Okay, I'll tell someone to do it right away."
"Well, leave this to Dalin. When the workshop is built, I will come forward to teach everyone."
Lord Chen was still confused at this time.
The problem is solved with just these few words?
Brother Lin really has a precious daughter, no wonder she is favored by the prince.
Master Chen wanted to ask for clarification, but before he could open his mouth, Lin Fu pulled him over and said, "Let's go now. Don't be an eyesore here."
Lin Zhiyi smiled.
This father really loves her. If he had no other choice, he would not come to the Prince's Mansion to bother her.
The news that the eldest son of the Crown Prince's Mansion was going to hold a birthday party spread throughout Chang'an.
All the noble families took it seriously and were considering what gifts to give to the little grandson of the emperor.
Old Mrs. Qin went to the street and saw people all over the place talking about this matter.
She regretted it.
If she had known that Lin Zhiyi could give birth to a son, she would never let her son divorce her.
Now, the Qin family still has no descendants.
If that child were still alive, he would be over two years old now.
When she got home, she took out all her anger on He Jiaojiao and Lu He, and asked her son to hold them down and beat them up.
He Jiaojiao is a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and I didn't expect her maid Lu He to be so useless.
When beating people, Old Lady Qin specifically targeted their bodies to avoid injuries on their faces that would be discovered by the He family.
"Why are you hitting people again?" Lu He asked angrily.
"I'm going to beat you. What's the point of keeping you around if you don't lay eggs?"
He Jiaojiao angrily said, "We are hens that don't lay eggs? What about my sister-in-law? She got married earlier, so why hasn't she given birth yet? Why don't you beat her?"
"Besides, having a child is a matter for two people. Why are you blaming the woman? What if your son is infertile?"
Old Mrs. Qin was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. If it was her son's problem, how did Lin Zhiyi get pregnant with his son's child in the first place?
"You are truly vicious. It's fine if you are useless, but you even dare to curse your husband like this. I must beat you to death today."
He Jiaojiao and Lu He wanted to hide, but they were just weak women.
"If you think I'm useless, you can just let your son divorce me."
It would have been fine if He Jiaojiao hadn't mentioned this, but when she did, Old Lady Qin became even angrier.
He slapped her several times on the face.
If they hadn't married her, their Qin family wouldn't have ended up like this.
When they divorced Lin Zhiyi, the Qin family suffered for a long time. They can't go back to the old ways.
What's more, his son Qin Lang not only lost his job, but also had his legs disabled. If he divorced He Jiaojiao, no one would marry him again.
"Do you think the emperor's edict is just a decoration?"
He Jiaojiao provoked the anger of Old Lady Qin, and this time the beating was several times more severe than before.
After venting her anger, Old Lady Qin ordered her son to lock He Jiaojiao in the room.
He Jiaojiao endured the pain in her body and said, "Lu He, if this goes on, we will both die here."
"What do you want to do, miss?"
