"Mother, Donkey Egg Mother gave me this today." Er Ya showed off her tattered purse, which contained five taels of loose silver.
"She wants me to help deliver a letter."
Knowing that it was useless to look for Yang Cui, Fang turned her attention to the people around Yang Cui, and the only ones she knew were Er Ya and San Ya.
Er Ya didn't actually want to get involved, given the relationship between the Lin family and her mother.
However, since Fang was kowtowing and pleading, and since Donkey Egg and Bull Egg had never bullied her before, she hesitated for a moment.
In that moment of hesitation, Fang seized the opportunity, shoved the purse into her hand, and ran away.
"Donkey Egg is dead."
"What?" Er Ya looked shocked.
Yang Cui hadn't told Er Ya and San Ya about Lin Shikang's situation, so they had no idea what had happened to Lin Huihui, what she had done, or that the donkey had been murdered or Niu Dan had disappeared.
"Then... should I tell her?"
“You can tell her.”
The reason Lin Shikang went to seek refuge with Princess Xilan was probably because he was too ashamed to return and dared not face his clansmen. If this news got out, the Lin clan would be in trouble.
Just as Lin Zhongqiang was hesitating about whether to tell the Fang family that Donkey Egg had died, the Fang family had already learned about it from Er Ya!
The mother and daughter-in-law, surnamed Fang, fainted on the spot!
Upon waking up, Fang and her mother-in-law Yan wept uncontrollably.
"Impossible! Yang Cui must have instructed her to lie to us!"
"My son couldn't be dead! He must be living a life of luxury in Kyoto!"
“My son said he would buy me a big gold bracelet when he earned enough money, he couldn’t possibly be dead! Yang Cui must be unable to have a son, she’s jealous that I have two sons, so she deliberately lied to me!”
"I'm going to Kyoto. I'm going to find my son. I'm going to bring my son home!"
Fang seemed to be possessed, and began packing her bags. If the neighbors hadn't stopped her, she probably would have already embarked on her journey to find her son.
The news of Donkey Egg's murder spread like wildfire to every corner.
The Lin clan members were all shocked!
Lin Niu was also terrified and at a loss. If something happened to Donkey Egg, what about her son Lin Mingfu?
Lin Niu hurriedly chased after her and blocked Er Ya's path: "Er Ya, Er Ya..."
The maid Yuqing immediately stepped forward to block Lin Niu Shi: "What do you want to do? You wicked woman, stay away from my young lady."
"Hey, Lin Niu, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to bully Miss Er Ya?"
"If you want to bully Miss Er Ya, you'd better ask if the Zhou clan will allow it first?"
"San'er, go quickly and call someone. Tell them that the Lin clan is going to beat Er Ya!"
...
When the Zhou clan members saw Lin Niu blocking their way, they surrounded her menacingly.
"No, I didn't. I didn't bully her. I just wanted to ask about my son."
Lin Niu Shi no longer dared to cause trouble. Ever since she learned Cen Xiao's identity, she wished that no one knew her and stayed at home most of the time, for fear of being retaliated against.
"What does your son's business have to do with Miss Er Ya!"
"Exactly, how did you treat her before? Have you forgotten? Do you want us to help you remember?"
"How dare you ask Miss Er Ya for information? You have no shame!"
...
Hearing these words, Lin Niu felt utterly ashamed.
Suddenly, he knelt down in front of Er Ya with a thud: "I know I was very wrong before."
After saying this, Madam Lin slapped herself in the face. "I'm not human. I'm sorry, Miss Er Ya. As long as you tell me where Ming Fu is, you can do whatever you want with me. Er Ya, Ming Fu is still your uncle. Please, tell me, how is Ming Fu?"
"I don't know anything." Er Ya will never forget how Lin Niu Shi and Fan Shi bullied her and her sister.
"Er Ya, don't go, don't go."
Lin Niu reached out to grab it, but was surrounded by the Zhou clan members: "Didn't you hear Miss Er Ya say she didn't know? It's your own son, if you don't trust him, go find him yourself."
"Didn't Lin Shikang go to Kyoto? You can go to Kyoto and ask him for your son. But I heard that Donkey Egg has been dead for almost a year, and Lin Shikang has been keeping the news a secret. It's not certain whether your son is alive or dead."
“I told you long ago that Lin Shikang was no good. Only you guys thought he was a treasure. Now look what happened, you’ve even lost your own son…”
"What do you call that? You deserve it!"
...
Hearing the Zhou clan's malicious words and seeing their gloating expressions, Lin Niu was so angry that she vomited blood!
Upon seeing her vomit blood, the Zhou clan members all retreated, fearing they would be implicated.
Lin Mingcai is dead, and Lin Mingfu's whereabouts and fate are unknown. Lin Niu regrets her past actions. Now she only has one son by her side, and her health and financial situation are not enough to support her to go to the capital to look for him.
Lin Niu sat helplessly on the threshold and wept bitterly. When she was tired of crying, Fang and her mother-in-law started crying. When Fang and her mother-in-law were tired of crying, she started crying again. It was as if they had planned it all out. The sounds of pain never stopped.
