Chapter 92 Even if it is beaten to death, it is also justified
Seeing that Lin Luchen's hands were shaking even more, Lin Zhiyi coaxed him again: "Cousin, if you can take this step and cure your mother's illness, I can help you when you get to Fangzhou, and you and your son will be able to live a good life in the future."
Lin Lu was silent.
Lin Zhiyi didn't force him.
Let him think it over for himself.
"Cousin, go back and rest first, and discuss with Aunt Xue. Leave the medicine to me first. I will prepare it and send it to your mother."
Seeing that Lin Luchen looked unhappy, Lin Zhiyi had no choice but to let him go back first and think about it after one night.
After all, the humiliation suffered by the third branch of the Lin family for fourteen or fifteen years has long been ingrained in his bones. A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old has his knees engraved with years of humiliation, so how can he straighten them up overnight?
Lin Luchen thanked him and ran away.
Lin Zhiyi was guarding the medicine pot, controlling the temperature.
The temperature has been low these days, but Lin Zhiyi feels warm next to this medicine furnace.
Fang Mama and Chai Ya were cooking, and Lin Zhiyi was watching over the two medicine stoves, one for Aunt Xue and the other for his second sister-in-law Fang Luo's pregnancy-maintaining medicine.
Lin Fu's body has recovered and he no longer needs to take medicine. Lin Zhiyi always feels that it is the effect of the spiritual spring water that made his father recover so quickly.
So, if Lingquan water is used when decocting medicine for Aunt Xue, there may be hope for her illness.
Just then, Uncle Lin came in and asked as he entered the kitchen, "Where's that little bastard?"
Lin Zhiyi frowned when he heard this, and realized that Uncle Lin was here to settle a score.
"Uncle San keeps calling them 'bastards'. Could it be that he's denying his own bloodline? If they truly aren't Lin family blood, why would he keep them trapped?"
Uncle Lin had long been dissatisfied with Lin Zhiyi and said unhappily, "As the Book of Rites says, a father is the leader of his sons. Since that child is born under my name, even if I beat him to death, it is only natural."
"Is this how Third Uncle understands the saying 'the father is the leader of the son'?"
"What's the problem?"
Lin Zhiyi wanted to refute, but then he thought, it would be a waste of words and would only make him angry.
Some people have a revolving door in their minds, and all truths must revolve around their interests to be considered the truth.
All I can say is that he read so much that it went to waste.
Extremely selfish!
"nothing."
Lin Zhiyi simply kept silent.
Uncle Lin saw that Lin Luchen was not in the kitchen, so he left.
Since they were not imprisoned in the same room, Uncle Lin wanted to cause trouble for Aunt Xue, so he had to go to the room where they were and report to the officials.
So Lin Zhiyi doesn't have to worry.
Lin Zhiyi had already prepared the medicine, and Fang Mama and Chai Ya had also prepared the meal.
Lin Zhiyi packed the medicine and food into a food box and sent it to Aunt Xue and her son.
The meal was quite plentiful, with two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, plus porridge and steamed buns.
Rice, steamed buns, meat and vegetables were all taken out by Lin Zhiyi from the space. Every time she arrived at a post station, she would use the excuse of going out to buy things, take out some food and put it on the carriage, pretending that it was newly bought.
Gradually, the steamed buns in the space were almost digested.
When Aunt Xue saw that Lin Zhiyi really brought food to them and their son, she was still a little bit unbelieving. She pinched herself hard and felt the pain, and then she was sure that she was not dreaming.
She was about to drag her tired body to kowtow to Lin Zhiyi, but was stopped by Lin Zhiyi, "Auntie, the Lin family has fallen into such a state. None of us is nobler than the other. Don't kneel down at every turn in the future."
"No, Miss, you will always be the master of the Lin Mansion."
Lu'er didn't have to kowtow, but she was half a servant in the Lin family and should kowtow to her master.
Lin Zhiyi sighed.
This kind of deeply rooted concept cannot be changed in a short time, so let her kneel.
"Auntie, you guys should eat first. If anything happens, just ask my cousin to report to the officer and call me."
Lin Zhiyi left the room where Aunt Xue and her son were imprisoned.
At this time, oil lamps had been lit in each room and could illuminate the room.
Lin Luchen opened the food box and saw the abundant food inside. His eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Mom, look, this is given to me by my cousin."
Lin Luchen said as he brought out the food one by one.
Since there was no table, he put the food on the ground and the mother and son sat on the ground to eat.
Seeing her son so happy because of a few dishes, Aunt Xue's eyes were red.
Lu'er has suffered a lot following her mother.
She picked up the steamed bun and handed it to Lin Luchen, "Eat more."
"Hmm." Lin Luchen took two bites of the food and couldn't help but praise: "Mom, cousin Zhizhi's cooking skills are really amazing. This meal is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food. Come and try it."
He had previously heard from the convicts who had bought Lin Zhiyi's food that the food Lin Zhiyi cooked was delicious.
But he didn't know that this was not the meal made by Lin Zhiyi, but by Fang Mama and Chai Ya, but they also used the seasonings given by Lin Zhiyi.
But Lin Luchen had never eaten any good food since he was a child, so when he suddenly tasted these meals, he found them delicious.
Aunt Xue also managed a rare smile, "Okay."
Aunt Xue kept putting food into Lin Luchen's bowl.
After so many years, it was rare for the mother and son to have such a rich and delicious meal.
They ate up all the four dishes, a soup, four steamed buns and two bowls of porridge.
When Chai Ya came to get the bowl, she saw that the bowl had been cleared away. She sighed and couldn't help but feel sympathy for Aunt Xue.
Logically speaking, Aunt Xue was the master of the Lin Mansion, and she was a servant of the Lin Mansion, so Aunt Xue should have lived a better life than her.
But on the contrary, she met a good master and had no shortage of food.
There were more than twenty convicts imprisoned in this room, all of them staring at the mother and son. They ate so deliciously and were extremely hungry that several of them wanted to come over and snatch the food from Aunt Xue and her son.
But in the end, they all endured it.
The reason is that the mother and son now have the support of Miss Lin, and Miss Lin is close to the Jinwu Guards, so how could they dare to do that?
Aunt Xue put all the bowls and chopsticks into the food box and gave it to Chai Ya.
After having her fill and taking her medicine, Aunt Xue felt sleepy.
After coughing for a while, Lin Luchen helped Aunt Xue lie down on the big bunk bed.
They had no bedding.
This is how they have been spending the past ten days.
When they were outdoors, they would lie by the fire so that they wouldn't be too cold.
Fortunately, we all got through it.
There were other prisoners who had no bedding like the mother and son, so they were used to it.
Just then, Lin Zhiyi came in with bedding and a bundle on his back.
Aunt Xue quickly sat up and said, "Miss."
"Aunt, cousin, this pair of quilts is for you and your son."
Lin Zhiyi said as he placed the bedding on the bed and unpacked the bundle. "Here are these two sets of clothes. Judging from the size, they should be suitable for you. You can make do with them and change them."
The clothes belonged to the servants in the Qin Mansion. When she was cleaning out the Qin Mansion that day, she put all the servants' clothes into the space.
Although the material worn by the servants in the Qin Mansion was not as good as those worn by the nobles, it was also made of fine linen, which was much better than the coarse linen worn by the country people.
The spare clothes she bought for the other members of the Lin family were also made of this kind of fine linen, so that they would not attract attention when they arrived in Fangzhou.
Seeing them sitting on the bed in a daze, Lin Zhiyi said, "Aunt Xue, Cousin Lu Chen, you two can go ahead and make your bed. I'm going back to sleep."
Lin Zhiyi just walked out of the house and happened to see Li Wenjing standing not far away. When he saw her come out, he waved at her from a distance.
Lin Zhiyi was puzzled. What was Li Wenjing doing outside the house?
It seemed like he was standing there waiting for her.
As soon as he approached, Li Wenjing stuffed a cattail bag into Lin Zhiyi's hand.
"For you."
"For me?"
Li Wenjing nodded with a smile in his eyes.
Lin Zhiyi was curious. She took a quick look inside the cattail bag and her eyes widened...
