Chapter 114 Disappointment, I Want to Beat Her to Death
Late at night, Right Prime Minister’s Mansion.
The lights in the main courtyard were as bright as day, but the atmosphere was cold and depressing.
Xiao Chen had already sent everyone away, and now there were only the three of them in the room.
Lin Ruhui sat upright on the armchair, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. Little Chen stood beside him with her head lowered, not daring to breathe because of the nervousness.
Lin Qingxue was kneeling on the ground, trembling and her face pale.
Lin Ruhui asked for a long time, but she didn't say a word. He finally got angry and asked, "What happened today? Why don't you tell me?"
"Master, Qingxue was also frightened today. Please don't force her anymore." Xiao Chen advised.
"Did I force her, or did she drag her whole family to die?"
Lin Ruhui slammed the table so hard that it made a loud noise. Little Chen was so frightened that she shook her body and dared not speak again.
"Do you know how to write the word shame? How could I, Lin Ruhui, have a daughter like you?"
Fortunately, in the afternoon, he noticed something was wrong and promptly asked the butler to take the guests across the lake back to the main courtyard for tea and did not let them follow.
Otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!
Lin Qingxue cried bitterly, "I don't want to do that either, I don't want to do that either..."
She closed her eyes and let the tears flow out. "If I could marry my cousin King Jing smoothly, I don't want this... Today he invited Zhang Yuanshou to treat Heng'er. I thought he loved me, but he told me that he hated me and would never marry me. What can I do..."
"Since he said he won't marry you, why do you still cling to him?" Upon hearing this, Lin Ruhui suddenly stood up from his chair and raised his hand to slap him.
"Master..." Xiao Chen hurriedly tried to stop him, but finally sat down while holding his hand.
Lin Qingxue cried with a look of despair, "You told me since childhood that my cousin is my future husband. For more than ten years, I have been obediently listening to you. Finally, I grew up, and everything changed. I have liked my cousin for so many years, how can you just not marry him? I can't live without my cousin..."
Lin Ruhui subconsciously looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen lowered her head deeply, not daring to look him in the eye.
The marriage between Prince Jing and Qingxue... was already a done deal, and the Imperial Concubine was almost telling her explicitly, but who knew it would turn out like this.
"Now that something like this has happened, there is no chance for you and King Jing anymore. You'd better give up on this idea!"
Hearing Lin Ruhui say this, Lin Qingxue raised her head suddenly, her face instantly turned pale, "I, I don't want to, I will marry my cousin even if I die..."
Lin Ruhui looked at her, as if she couldn't live without Beigong Yu, and became furious again, "He almost ruined your life, and you still refuse to change! You...you bastard!"
He was so angry that he started coughing violently.
He has already investigated what happened this afternoon. If Miaoyin hadn't stopped her in time, she would have already been in a fait accompli with that servant.
And all this was the work of King Jing!
Not to mention his dirty thoughts towards Miaoyin, just looking at his vicious revenge on Qingxue, it can be seen that he is narrow-minded and not a good man!
"No, that's not the case. There must be some misunderstanding!"
Lin Qingxue hurriedly knelt down and stepped forward, "I know, it was Lin Miaoyin, she was the one who schemed against my cousin and me..."
She was supposed to sleep with her cousin, but when she woke up, the person next to her turned out to be a servant.
It must be Lin Miaoyin who did it!
"Pa!" Lin Ruhui couldn't help it and slapped her hard.
"Master!" Little Chen exclaimed, and hurriedly stood up and hugged Lin Qingxue, who was lying on the ground, into her arms.
She wept, "Qingxue was wrong, but what she said was not without reason. How could it be such a coincidence that Miaoyin and Lanyue went to the island and something like this happened. Especially her last words, it was as if she said them on purpose for us to hear..."
She couldn't bear to watch Lin Ruhui value Lin Miaoyin more and more and be disappointed in the three of them.
Even if I die, I will drag Lin Miaoyin down with me!
"At this time, you are still protecting her?"
Lin Ruhui was extremely disappointed with Xiao Chen. "In the whole Shengjing City, who wouldn't say you are virtuous? I am also very pleased to marry such a virtuous and capable wife. Over the years, I have focused on running the officialdom and handed over the management of the Lin Mansion to you. I thought you treated these children at home as your own, but I was wrong. You only have eyes for these two children you gave birth to, and you don't care about Miaoyin and Yuaner at all!"
Little Chen was horrified when she heard this, "Master, I didn't..."
"You don't like Yuan'er's aunt, and you are estranged from her, but Miaoyin is your own niece! Do you still remember what you said when you married into the family? You said you felt sorry for Miaoyin because she lost her mother at a young age, and you were afraid that the second wife I married would mistreat her, so you wanted to take care of her yourself!"
A few days ago, Miaoyin suddenly went back to her parents' home to ask for a dowry. He thought that this girl was ignorant and didn't know how to be grateful, but now it seems that there may be some hidden story behind this!
It’s just that he trusted her too much in the past and never doubted her!
He looked at the sobbing Lin Qingxue and asked, "Did Miaoyin scheme against you, or did you scheme against her and Lanyue?"
"You did such a shameless thing, but you didn't reflect on yourself. You even dared to bite your sister! Do you know that if it weren't for her today, you would have no face to live even if you were not arrested!"
He wanted to beat her to death when he thought about how she had the audacity to drug a man.
"Give me the jade!"
Lin Ruhui took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and reached out to Xiao Chen.
When she heard the word "Yujue", Xiao Chen's face changed drastically. She knew that he was going to get serious. "Master, why do you have to do this?"
She said anxiously: "The Imperial Concubine wants Qingxue to marry Prince Jing. If we cancel the engagement, wouldn't that be an insult to the Imperial Concubine and a disrespect to her?"
At the same time, Lin Qingxue also reached down and exclaimed, "Mom, my jade pendant is gone!"
Little Chen's eyes turned and she said to Lin Ruhui, "Master, Qingxue's jade pendant is lost. In my opinion, should we just forget about it?"
"We can't just let it go like this!"
Just then, a majestic voice came from the yard.
Xiao Chen's mother and daughter looked outside and saw Huang rushing into the yard with fast steps, not looking like a sixty-year-old at all.
She entered the room and handed the item in her hand to Lin Ruhui, "Is this the jade you are looking for?"
Xiao Chen's mother and daughter's expressions changed immediately. How could the jade pendant be in her hands?
"That's right. How did mother get this jade?"
Huang snorted, "This was picked up by Lan Yue from the lake when she was swimming. Maybe someone threw it in there on purpose."
Those two girls still wanted to hide it from her.
But how could they keep it secret when such a big thing happened!
As she spoke, she scolded Lin Ruhui, "Fortunately, Lan Yue is fine, otherwise I would have to sacrifice my reputation and I don't know how to explain it to the second brother and his wife!"
Lin Ruhui looked embarrassed and said, "It's my son who doesn't manage the household well."
