Everyone present was confused and doubtful when they saw this scene. They really couldn't figure out which side was right.
At the beginning, everyone believed that Lin Xi was the one who was looking for trouble and was too rampant. The mistress brought her burden with her to the original wife's house and shouted for war and killing, which was too much.
But now this burden knelt down to Lin Zhan crying, begging for mercy... So could it be that Li Yanhong and Lin Zhan were really bullied?
I exchanged glances with the people around me, and many of them wanted to go astray.
Facing everyone's suspicious gazes, Li Yanhong was like a mute eating bitter herbs.
What does she say about this?
She didn't even know why Lin Xi was making so much trouble today.
Su Lixuan narrowed her eyes. If she was not mistaken, Lin Xi was crying fake tears, right?
With a sneer.
Su Lixuan raised her voice: "Lin Xi, you have to make your words clear. Stop saying these nonsense and tarnishing my husband's reputation."
"I remember you just saying that Uncle Lin wanted to force you to marry an old man, right? What does this have to do with my husband? What makes you say that it was my mother-in-law and my husband who threatened Uncle Lin?"
"Do you have any evidence? If not, we'll have to get this straight. Wenhui, could you please go and get Uncle Lin over here? Let him explain why he wanted to marry his stepdaughter to this old man."
"What does this have to do with my husband and mother-in-law? I've explained everything clearly. I feel at ease, and outsiders don't have to make up stories anymore."
The last sentence made those people who had just suspected that Lin Zhan had done something bad to Lin Xi so embarrassed that they couldn't even raise their heads.
Su Lixuan smiled and said, "Besides, we are not unreasonable people. Even if you come to our door for no reason today, we can repay you with kindness."
"Isn't it just that you don't want to marry an old man? Although my family may not be able to help, my husband and mother-in-law are so enthusiastic. Come on, get up first. We will accompany you home and talk to Uncle Lin about this."
"We have to persuade Uncle Lin not to do such a foolish thing. How can you force your daughter to marry an old man? Even if he's not your biological child, it's not okay."
With just a few words, he cleared out all the members of his family.
Su Lixuan was the one who said all the good and bad things.
Lin Xi knelt there until his knees ached, and he felt embarrassed and his heart went cold.
She is not stupid.
On the contrary, she is smarter than her elder brother Lin Jialiang.
So she immediately understood the meaning of Su Lixuan's words just now.
Lin Xi understood that Su Lixuan was threatening her.
It was like she was pretending to be pitiful and using her power to pressure Li Yanhong and her son into giving in.
Su Lixuan was also threatening her.
She was really driven to desperation and wanted to go crazy without caring about anything. It was because Lin Yuanshan had been targeting Lin Wenhui since she moved out of her household registration.
When the needle was pricking Lin Wenhui, Lin Xi was gloating, but now the needle was pricking herself.
She wished she could drag everyone down with her!
But later, when Lin Zhan showed up, Lin Xi's first thought was fear.
With Lin Zhan around, she knew that if she wasn't careful, she might not only lose the wife but also the army and get beaten.
But maybe it was a quick-witted move.
She actually thought of a way to save herself!
That's why Lin Xi suddenly changed his attitude. He stopped going crazy and started to bend and bow to Lin Zhan.
Since she couldn't bend down, she knelt down. She didn't explain the matter too clearly, but just cried vaguely.
All she wanted was a few casual words thrown at her by Lin Zhan and Li Yanhong to get rid of her as quickly as possible because they thought she was annoying and were afraid that she would be misunderstood by the old neighbors who were watching.
A few exact words that she guided me to say.
What exact words?
Of course, I didn't want her to marry the old man, and I didn't want to force her to die... Such precise words.
Don't underestimate these words. As long as they came from Lin Zhan's mouth and were heard by so many people and had so many people as witnesses, she could use these words as an order to go back to Lin Yuanshan.
Lin Yuanshan was afraid of Lin Zhan. As long as she went back and changed the subject by saying that Lin Zhan did not agree to marry her to an old man, Lin Zhan would not allow Lin Yuanshan to force her to death.
Given Lin Yuanshan's fear of Lin Zhan, with these words in mind, Lin Yuanshan would definitely not act rashly again.
It’s not that Lin Yuanshan is easy to fool, but that Lin Yuanshan likes to think too much about everything.
He would think that Lin Zhan said these things because he didn't want to see him seek marriage to save himself, or at least he wouldn't allow him to be so happy in public.
Because he thought too much and was afraid that if he didn't agree with Lin Zhan, Lin Zhan would reveal the fact that he took kickbacks.
Therefore, given Lin Yuanshan's character, he would definitely give up the idea of forming an alliance through marriage for the time being and instead think of other ways to save himself.
This was Lin Xi's plan. She just wanted to use Lin Zhan to save herself from the fire pit, but she didn't expect Su Lixuan to be so strict that she didn't even give her a chance to say anything.
Looking up at Su Lixuan, Lin Xi gritted her teeth. She wanted to continue to act pitiful and find excuses, but Su Lixuan's threats were still there... She didn't dare to take the gamble.
If she really makes him angry, Lin Zhan will not let her go. If she goes to Lin Yuanshan and gives him a hint, her situation will definitely be worse than it is now.
Staggering to her feet, Lin Xi lowered her eyes to hide the resentment in them. She spoke softly, "Forget it. I'm desperate and trying anything I can."
"Lin Zhan really has nothing to do with me. I was confused today. My father wanted to marry me to an older man, and I thought it was you who instigated it, so I came here to make trouble without checking it out. I was wrong."
"I listened to what Su Lixuan said just now. This matter really has nothing to do with you. I was being petty. I'm sorry. I'm leaving first..."
She came in a hurry and left like a lost dog, which really confused the group of onlookers in the slum.
Watching Lin Xi leave, Zhang Guifang couldn't help but speak: "What's going on? Yanhong, are A Zhan and her really okay?"
"Why does it look to me like your Lin Zhan couldn't get his stepdaughter, Lin Yuanshan, and in a fit of rage, he asked Lin Yuanshan to marry her to an old man in revenge, and now she's here to surrender?"
Li Yanhong was furious: "Stop making up stories here. Which eye of yours saw anything going on between my son and Lin Xi?"
Zhang Guifang didn't believe it: "Why is she only begging your Lin Zhan if it's okay? It's as if she came here specifically to bow her head so that she could give your Lin Zhan a chance to be a hero and save the beauty..."
Su Lixuan blinked her eyes and asked innocently, "Beautiful? Aunt Zhang, that's unfair. Is Lin Xi as beautiful as me?"
She clenched her fist and punched Lin Zhan's chest: "Tell me, if Lin Xi and I fell into the water at the same time, would you save me or Lin Xi?"
Lin Zhan's peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles: "Save you."
This is a perfect answer, Su Lixuan smiled sweetly.
But Zhang Guifang was clever for once. She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Mrs. Lin Zhan, stop making jokes here. Aunt Zhang won't fall for it."
