Chapter 62 The Eight-Bearer Sedan Chair (8)
Lin Chujiu was somewhat surprised. Everything was fine when she left, so how could something have suddenly happened?
The lady was so frightened that she lost her composure and rushed forward to grab the servant, asking:
"What exactly happened to Cheng'er?"
Her voice trembled, filled with a mother's worry for her son's well-being.
Seeing his mistress in this state, the servant hesitated and stammered, "..."
"Young Master and Young Master Zhou have fallen from their horses and died!"
Lin Chujiu was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
The viewers in the live stream were also taken aback when they heard this.
Why did this happen all of a sudden?
Hearing this, Master Lin, who was standing nearby, swayed precariously. His hand trembled as he pointed forward and roared:
"How could this be?...How could this be? Bring him back!"
Madam Lin's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
The house was instantly thrown into chaos.
Lin Chujiu was so frightened that she dared not speak. To fit the occasion, she collapsed onto the maid and cried uncontrollably.
Seeing the reaction of the lady and master, the servant was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Where is he? Where is he?!"
Master Lin shouted, his once shrewd eyes now filled with grief for his son's death.
The servant boy trembled and said:
"It's still at the horse farm in the suburbs. Master Zhou has led his men to surround the area."
In his grief, Master Lin keenly sensed something.
"When someone dies, the body should just be brought back. Why is it still being kept at the horse farm?"
The servant stammered.
Master Lin was instantly enraged:
"You dog of a lackey! Speak when we tell you to, or are you deliberately making up something to deceive us!"
The servant was so anxious he was almost in tears. "Master, you'll see for yourself!"
Master Lin looked back at Lin Chujiu and saw that she was crying so hard that she was almost fainting, her eyes filled with grief.
He seemed to age ten years in an instant, and said to Lin Chujiu:
"Take good care of your mother, I'm going to check on her."
Lin Chujiu clutched her handkerchief, forcing a sorrowful nod.
————
When Master Lin left, he was grief-stricken, but when he returned, his face was ashen with anger.
Lin Chujiu spent the whole afternoon thinking in her room and had secretly guessed something.
She was supporting Madam Lin, listening to her complaints, and was afraid that she might accidentally run into a pillar and die.
Upon seeing her husband return, Madam Lin hurriedly grasped his hand and asked:
"What's wrong with Cheng'er?"
Master Lin flung her hand away and pointed at her nose, cursing:
"How dare you ask? The fine son you raised has utterly disgraced the Lin family!"
Madam Lin was stunned, then overjoyed: "Cheng'er isn't dead?"
She thought that if she could anger Master Lin to this extent, then Cheng'er wasn't dead, but had just done something wrong outside.
Young people, it's okay to make mistakes, as long as you're alive.
Master Lin was absolutely furious, “He…he…”
He stammered for a long time, but didn't dare to speak. Finally, he pointed at Madam Lin's nose, his hand trembling with anger.
Worried about her son, Mrs. Lin ignored his anger and asked, "What happened? Give me a straight answer!"
He finally seemed unable to bear it any longer and shouted:
"Your son and Young Master Zhou were having an affair on horseback, and they were still connected when they fell off their horses!"
Lin Chujiu covered her mouth in surprise. What the hell? This is so exciting!
The viewers in the live stream went wild!
[Holy crap, holy crap, is this the homosexual relationship I'm thinking of?]
Is it really going to start soon?
Oh my goodness, it's still going on!
So much play? That's too much!
[I noticed something was off about them during the day. Young Master Lin was lying shyly in Young Master Zhou's arms. I never imagined they were actually having an affair...]
Moreover, Mr. Lin's voice was a bit too loud.
Lin Chujiu went straight up and grabbed Mr. Lin's arm, saying:
"Dad, keep your voice down. Is this something to be proud of?"
Master Lin looked behind him and saw a group of servants all coming over to do their duty, listening intently.
He was instantly enraged, and at his age, he could no longer bear it.
This time it was Mr. Lin's turn to faint.
Mrs. Lin was so shocked that she couldn't bear it and fainted with a "er".
Lin Chujiu was left alone, swaying in the wind.
————
Meanwhile, the Zhou family.
"Bang!"
Zhou Ruoruo dropped the teapot in her hand, splashing tea everywhere.
"What did you say?"
She asked sharply.
The maid in front of her trembled.
"...Young Master and Young Master Lin were having an affair...and he fell to his death from a horse!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, even a young woman like her blushed, feeling both afraid and ashamed.
I never imagined that the two young masters, who seemed so glamorous, were actually like this behind the scenes...
Unable to contain their thirst, unlike anyone else.
After hearing this, Zhou Ruoruo slumped onto the bed, staring at the door frame in disbelief.
She didn't care much about the Zhou family's young master, but the Lin family's young master was her marriage prospect.
In modern times, if a fiancé dies, she can find another one. But in ancient times, when a woman's chastity was of paramount importance, she would be sent to a ghost marriage.
Originally, she drugged the food of the young master of the Zhou family to force Lin Chujiu into a ghost marriage.
But now...
She knew the consequences of ghost marriages in feudal times.
Zhou Ruoruo looked at the roof beam and felt her hands and feet turn ice cold.
————
In an instant, the joyous occasion for the Zhou and Lin families turned into a tragedy.
After Lin Chujiu had her servants carry Master Lin and Madam Lin back home, she ordered the house to be closed to visitors.
Despite his disgust, Young Master Lin still loved his son. He retrieved Young Master Lin's body and placed it in the side hall.
Although Lin Chujiu was curious about how erotic the scene of his death must have been, she dared not look because of his eerie nature.
But I heard that when Young Master Lin died, his face was flushed, and when they parted, Young Master Zhou even...
Lin Chujiu couldn't help but marvel at the brilliance of Sichuan Opera.
She felt no anger at her fiancé's affair with another man, only a sense of schadenfreude.
This can't be blamed on her. After all, she was just an outsider player and didn't have the feudal concept of a woman following her husband wherever he went, nor did she have any feelings for Young Master Zhou.
After she finished dealing with these matters, she pretended to be so heartbroken that she was about to faint.
The maidservant beside her quickly helped her to rest.
Lin Chujiu remained calm where she couldn't see, and then fell asleep.
Having already gone through three instances, in addition to the great tempering of her body, her mental strength has also been greatly upgraded.
She is no longer the girl who cried her legs off when she saw something bizarre in the dungeon. On the contrary, she now has a bit of leisure to enjoy gossiping about bizarre things, in addition to the necessary rules and bottom lines.
Life is only about 30,000 days long, so what's wrong with living it up?
Lin Chujiu thought cheerfully, and then fell asleep.
But she wasn't cheerful in her dream.
She dreamed that she came to a small grove of trees, and there was a large open space in the grove.
Lin Chujiu hesitated for a moment, circling the open space, wary of potential hunters.
One step, two steps, three steps... She circled around, but found nothing.
Just as Lin Chujiu was about to lower her guard, a sinister laugh suddenly came from behind her—
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Lin Chujiu was startled and slowly turned her head—
The boy's skin was dark and bluish, and his clothes were still stained with dirt and blood. He stared intently at Lin Chujiu, muttering something under his breath:
"Little sister—"
