Zhao Canchen was annoyed by the crying and commotion of the two women.
He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Fine, fine, I wasn't hit either, General Lin, just let her go." He paused, then added, "Killing her here will only defile this place."
Upon hearing Zhao Canchen's words, Lin Daoyan sheathed his sword and cursed at Cheng Shi, "Get out of here right now! If you dare to cause trouble here again, I will never forgive you, you shrew!"
Lin Daoqing felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and quickly got up to thank him repeatedly.
He turned around again and glared at his wife, "You stupid woman, get out of here."
Cheng and Granny Lin have always been people who lack tact and discernment. They speak and act completely as they please, without ever considering the feelings of others or the consequences of their actions.
That's why they didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
Although Lin Daoqing was already fed up with Cheng's behavior and was furious, she still refused to leave. Instead, she pointed at Lin Yajun and cried and screamed, "I must kill that wicked woman! She was the one who was forced into a marriage and then had my daughter killed!"
Faced with Cheng's unreasonable behavior, Lin Yajun not only showed no fear, but instead burst out laughing.
She looked at Cheng Shi with a mocking expression and said, "You all brought this upon yourselves! If you hadn't been so greedy, how could you have gotten yourself into such trouble? In my opinion, your retribution has only just begun, and there will be even more retribution waiting for you in the future!"
Lin Yajun's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making the already enraged Old Lady Lin and Madam Cheng even more frantic. They jumped around in the courtyard, shouting and cursing incessantly, their voices deafening.
Old Mrs. Lin was so angry that her face turned red. She jumped up and down and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Bring me the family rules! I'm going to teach this arrogant and wicked woman a lesson today!"
Cheng burst into tears, crying and cursing, "You wicked woman, I'll beat you to death to get my daughter back!"
Faced with these two women who had lost control of their emotions, Lin Daoqing could no longer bear it. He suddenly reached out and delivered a heavy blow to Cheng's neck.
With a loud thud, Cheng collapsed to the ground, as if all her strength had been drained, and lost consciousness.
Seeing this, Old Lady Lin rolled her eyes in anger and said fiercely to her second son, "Qing, are you so afraid of a mere city guard? If you have the guts, kill this whole family to avenge your daughter!"
Originally, the eldest son's family still felt a little sympathy for the second son's family. After all, it was truly regrettable that the second son's daughter had died so young.
Surprisingly, the second branch of the family was so arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable. Instead of seeking justice from the Ren family and avenging their deceased daughter, they turned their anger towards the eldest branch and provoked trouble.
The last bit of sympathy the eldest son's family had for the second son's family vanished, replaced by indifference and hostility.
Lin Daoyan held a long sword, while Lin Songhao picked up a short sword. Both of them were on high alert, ready to fight the second branch of the family at any moment.
"You actually want to kill our whole family?" Lin Yajun's face was frosty as she gave Old Lady Lin a cold laugh. "I should kick you out of the Lin residence first!" With that, she pointed to the door without any politeness and issued an order to leave, "Both of you families, move out of the Lin residence tonight!"
"Pah!" Upon hearing this, Old Lady Lin was furious. She spat viciously, "You should all get out! Ah Qing, you must kill this wicked woman for me!"
"If anyone dares to lay a finger on my daughter, I will make sure they never return!" Lin Daoyan was furious. Holding a long sword, he stood in the center of the courtyard like a war god, exuding a chilling aura.
Like an enraged she-wolf, Old Lady Lin bared her teeth and howled at Lin Daoyan, "Lin Daoyan, if you have the guts, kill me! Go ahead and try!" Her face trembled as she yelled, her voice deafening.
She put her hands on her hips, striking a pose that suggested she was fearless and ready to fight to the death.
Old Mrs. Lin was certain that Lin Daoyan would never dare to lay a hand on her. After all, she was Lin Daoyan's stepmother, which meant she was an elder!
Just then, Lin Yajun, who was standing to the side, suddenly reached out and gently turned the dog's head beside her. Then, she parted her lips slightly and murmured a sentence.
Suddenly, a chilling wind swept through the courtyard, sending shivers down everyone's spines. Then, two blurry figures appeared in the center of the courtyard like ghosts.
"Shen family, you owe me my life!"
"Shen, you poisonous woman, give me back my life!" These two voices, seemingly from hell, were filled with sorrow and resentment, echoing in the silent night and sending chills down one's spine.
Immediately afterwards, two ghostly figures rushed straight towards Granny Lin. They were incredibly fast, like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of Granny Lin.
"Ah! A ghost!" Old Mrs. Lin was so frightened by this sudden scene that her scream pierced the night sky and echoed throughout the courtyard.
She was trembling all over, clutching her prayer beads tightly in her hands, spinning them frantically, and chanting incantations, as if this would drive away the two ghosts.
All of this was in vain. The two ghosts remained unmoved and continued to pounce on Old Lady Lin, as if filled with endless resentment and rage.
As the ghost lunged at her, Old Lady Lin's face turned ashen. Her already ugly features became even more distorted and terrifying. At first glance, she looked more like a demon.
In a fit of extreme fear and despair, Old Lady Lin suddenly turned around and ran frantically towards the main courtyard, screaming, "A ghost! A ghost..."
Her steps faltered, as if she might fall at any moment, but she didn't care anymore; only one thought occupied her mind—to escape from those two terrifying ghosts! To escape this horrible place!
The two ghostly figures followed closely behind Granny Lin, constantly shouting, "Give me back my life! Give me back my life!" Their pitiful cries echoed in the courtyard, sending chills down everyone's spines.
Old Mrs. Lin frantically hid in the courtyard, desperately trying to escape the pursuit of the two ghostly figures. However, no matter how she hid, the two ghostly figures were like a persistent leech, relentlessly chasing after her.
Finally, with nowhere else to run, Old Lady Lin covered her head and rushed desperately out of the courtyard, shouting, "Help! I need to go to the temple to exorcise the ghost!"
She ran frantically, screaming that there were ghosts, her voice piercing the silent night. Behind her, a group of servants chased after her in a panic, creating utter chaos.
